It seems that the time is ripe for a little more protection for the legitimate trademan. In 'many ways thing3 are rapidly approaching a crisis as a result of competition, which in reality is not competition but a sort of piracy among tradesmen. THe doctor must take his de gree and be -duly registered in the state in which he essays to practice before he is allowed by law to hang out his shingle. Just so with the dentist, the druggist, and many others.down even to the man who holds your nose and shaves you. Yet there are many businesses, most legitimate in their way, that are at the . mercy i of any person who may go at the business. The fact that a man may spend a life-time at a busi- . ness, or trade, and be master of it from "A to. 'izzard'" seems to be of no consequence. That he , may have a large capital invest ed cuts no figure he has no pro tection, and his trade and busi ness are open to ruination by the first "trade pirate" who cares to ; commit the act of trade prostitu tion., According to our present laws, any young fellow can spend a few mqnths at a trade, take it . into his head to start, go to work at starvation prices, ruin himself and others and lead the people to Relieve that the ligitimate busi ness man has been imposing on them, in fact, robbing them for : years. - So long as thisjeondition of "free for all and no responsibility to the general public exists there is not much inducement offered to an apprentice to undertake the mastery of any trade. Instead of good, legitimate craftmen, of responsibility, there is evi.- dence of, Vblacksmithing" and irresponsibility on every hand, ' This is a sad state of affairs and is -worthy consideration . by our statesmen. , Why is one business, or trade more worthy of consideration and protection than another? There . are .professions unprotected by any sort of legislation whatever that are as deserving of great . consideration as any of those at ' present on the favored list. CHINA PLAYS GAME. Because the United States gov ernment does not see fit to en courage the immigration of the almond-eyed celestial from the land of the dragon it seems that China has about concluded ' to boycott our products. From the Chinese point of view this is all very well, but it is bad for us, as we have been anticipating great things for the West as the result, of an increased Oriental trade. - "- We had a right to discrimin ate against a class so unfavorable to our social life and conditions, such as China afforded us. There is no denying China's right to trade witli whom she pleases. But it makes a bad mess any way you ; look at it from a Yankee standpoint. To be compelled to admit within our borders a horde of rat-eating heathens would be 'an enormous price to pay for China's patronage. Indeed, it seems too dear at such a price, . There is reason for the present state of affairs, and those who are wire-pulling in favor of . Ger . many can give the key to the sit uation. Little by little Germany" has -been stealing- Chinese patron age irom us. bne nas had a grievance: against this .country because of our tarLi laws and is now at the dpuble game " of tak ing a market from us and gain ing one for herself at the same stroke. . -' - .

In accordance with the provis ions of the Corvallis Water Bill said commission met last Friday evening and' were called to .order by Senator Avery. At this time permanent organization ,was ef fected. P. Avery was .elected president; S. L. Kline, clerk or secretary of 'the committee, and E. Woodward, treasurer. All' members of the wattr committee were not present, but enough ferm a were in attendance to quorum. '' Thursday, July 6, 11905, was the date set for holding an elec tion to determine whether the citizens would vote ' bonds or no Donas. rrcsident Avery was elected a committee of 'one to see that proper publication was given the matter of electipn. ' We are informed that Engin eer Lr. JNI. Miller has based his estimate of coit on i and a frac tion' miles ot piping within the city limits ; 16 miles main pipe, from Kock Creek to this citv:a reservoir on Baldymountain of 250,000 gal lons, sBaldy being about four miles from this city; 40 hydrants in various parts of the city' against 9 at present, and a . pro vision tor 40 more. . A mass meeting for ; citizens was called tor last night at the court house, at which time Mr, Miller was detailed to Undertake to explain the water question and his estimates. It is understood that according to his figures the system can be installed on the lines above-mentioned for some thing less than "the $75,000 the people are; allowed to bond the city for under the provisions of the water bill. ' ' 1 Webster's Unabridged. ; A few days ago a gentleman had' an. occasion to borrow, Dr.. Cathey's'dictiocary. On the fly leaf he noted that the dictionary,' unabridged, was a gift and that it had been given the doctor in 1875 30 years ago. , He made inquiry and learned that at - that time ' the doctor, then a very voung manw was a member of the choir of St. David's Parish, East Portland. The- doctor, was then attending the high- school and had no idea that he would ever, be able to study medicine, ' He was just recoveringfrom a severe spell of sickness and a . fellow student called on him. ' To this fellow -student Dr. Cathey gave $5 with the request that he get a dictionary for him, the doctor. A few days later he received a copy ot weosters' Unabridged Dictionary and his $5 was'returned at the same time. The book was -the gift' of three young friends, Messrs. Williams,1 josepni, ana McCall all youpg students at that time; and not one studying, medicine. btrange as it may seem 'every one of them took up the study of medicine and took their degress, Drs.: Williams and Tosephi each became well known through their connection with the state asvlum for the insane in .Salem. ' So it was tha't Dri Cathey came by his unabridged, b"t bpw strange is life! That all four of these young friends should later bec6me . well known and successful physicians is something very the ordinary. much , out of Mark Fullerton. euoreme judge of the State of Washington,4 who is serving his eecoud, term in that capacity, on the 14 inst. 8f cur ed the degree e.f L.
