It appears that Free-Traders and assistant Free-Traders who were so desirous of an extra ses sion of congress for the purpose of revising the tariff have about given up the idea. They , were bold in their assertions that Pres ident Roosevelt was with them. They stated that it was "knbwn" that the president was with them, To use the term, "known," in this connection may be carrying the matter a trifle too far. In many Quarters the opinion pre vailed that President Roosevelt inclined towards a revision of the tariff schedule. But there is a vast difference between an avowod advocacy of a certain thing and an "inclination" to wards i . President Roosevelt knows as well as the next man that every tariff law is in the nature of a compromise to some extent. But this is not all; should adjustment or revision ever be undertaken it must be on a basis of justice and equality so far as the masses are ' concerned. There must be no special concessions to this pr that interest. Localities cannot be considered in fixing the tariff schedule; and herein lies the troubled Locality interests are dissimilar, throughout the United States, and this renders the task of equitable revision a most vex ing problem. . :It is far wiser to leave themat ter of tariff revision alone. . Our present system of schedule, tak en as a whole, seems to fill the bill about as nearly ' as anything we are likely to receive for some time, regardless of the amount of legislation we' have for the betterment of affairs. ' So far as President Roosevelt is concerned, it does not appear that tariff revision is the thing uppermost in his mind." . He" is generally willing to be controlled , by the prevailing sentiment , among leading republicans, but if one were asked to state what they considered the president's heart most strongly set on the amswer would be railway rate - ," regulation."' He earnestly de ' sires that 'some means shall be found for the correction of rail way rate abuses; that the injus tice of a system of rebates and discriminations may be done : away with. This appears to have been what he desired above all things. He knows that the way to secure , reforms is to make concerted ef fort' for them one at a time. His belief is that railway 'regulation is the reform at present most urgently needed in this' country.

" Oft-times a series of cal amities will befall some poor fel low who is deserving of better things and he receives little sym pathy in his time of trouble. Again there are times when de cent people regret that a series of calamities do not befall some infernal cad: Things worked out about right in r ortland last week when a smirking ape, who was under the impression that he was pretty, tried to torce nis attentions up on a young lady to whom he had J never been introduced and who , tried to avoid him. A male friend violent thing's to the masner." Later on the would-be irresist- able man found himself in court, when Judge Hogue imposed cal amity No. 2 upon him. This is about as it should be. Nearly everywhere one may go they will come across just such disgusting scamps who were either ill-bred to start with, or who have for gotten their early training. In the case in question it is meet to presume that henceforth a cer tain young man will fight shy of the goo-goo." HQWIS THIS? An offer to make you come up stairs and see , us.

Heney is throughwith the prosecution of the land fraud cases in Oregon that he will re- y tire from this field of labor. In this connection it is asserted that -. President Roosevelt has urged the prosecutor to take up similar - cases in; other states, but that Mr. Heney refuses : ; There is nothing surprising in ' District Attorney Henry's desire to retire from the prosecution" of these cases when through; with those in : Oregon. V Indeed, few ; men after having such experi . ences as Mr. Heney has been through in this state,' would be anxious to court similar expert . ences in other ststes. It is not . pleasant for any man to feel that he may at any moment find him " self the viccim ot a conspiracy against his good name. ;:Ahd yet this las been' Mr? :HeneyV ex perience during nis brief 'sojourn in Oregon. - - , JBeyond doubt when the land this purpese. It is reported that the sum of $SO,ooo will be available this year for improvements on the Upper Willamette and the yam- hill riven This is well. The question now arises as to how laruptne Willamette the wave of the $50,000 will reach? , The tartner up a stream yon go the more work you must naturally expect to do in order . to..- keep stream open lor boats or a uni form draught register. There is no use in attempting to deny that river navigation is a great thing tor residents of the Willamette - valley. ; v But this blessing could be made many times what it is at present it some arrangement could be made for keeping the river open the year around as tar np as .this city Why can it not be done? Each year sees thousands of dollars ap propriated tor things of a public nature that are not anything like the , importance of keeping the Willamette open for navigation between Portland and Corvallis twelve months of the year. Let our people bestir them selves ana taice steps to insure tnat something oe done in our section. It would be not only matter 01 great importance in the development pt . the country tor boats to run irom Portland uoryauis tnrougnout the year, but it would be a fine thing in the way pt advertising, this city and county during the coming summer. The Oregonian of Sat urday contains the following : Farmers of the Willamette Valley will greet with joy the an nouncement that $50,000 would be available this year for the im provement of the Yamhill and Willamette " above - Portland. While appreciating fully the .great convenience and the mar ket value of railroad transporta tion, the people of the valley are loyal to the .river and in having it kept in a navigable condition as a sure v guarantee against ex orbitant freight charges on wheat and other products that will bear slow movement to market There is something in the sight of a steamboat, "loaded to the guards"; coming with heraldry of puffing steam and v sounding whistle to her dock,' that awakens commercial pride and " recalls memories of the strenuous days of Oregon's eariy ( transportation era. It may be hoped ; that the 4,Beautiful Willamette" ' will long be kept in a condition - of commercial ; usefulness bv the proper appropriation and expendi ture : of Government .-funds for Plumbing . and .;.
