The conviction that Russia has not yet suffered enough defeat grows upon one. - This conviction is followed by the thought that President Roosevelt is a little premature, though with the best possible intent, in his efforts for peace. We have contended, not without a horror of war in all its hellishness, that there will be no lasting peace between Russia and Japan until mastery beyond ques tion has been thoroughly estab lished by war io the bitter end. For other nations' chief execu tives and rulers to intervene and force peace will bring about a cessation of hostilities and little else. Until one of the nations themselves are fully vanquished on the field of battle, and ac knowledges the fact, there will be no lasting peace. If obliged by other nations to end the war both Russia and Japan will watch each other eternally and secret prepa rations will be the order of the day with both powers. Roosevelt, great and good man that he is, is doing all in his power for the honor of this na tion to negotiate peace, but the wisdom of this proceeding is a doubtful quantity. While we, as a people, one and all, deplore the awful sacrifice of human life, it may be best to have' the matter fully settled now on the principle that one war is cheaper than two. NORWAY. Norway in seceding from the "Sweden-Norway union claims the right to do so under the terms of the compact under which the two nations have been bound. It is stated that they applied to King Oscar of Sweden to sup ply tnem one or. his sons as a kingf or Norway. This Oscar refused to do, claim. ing that were he to do so he would be attacking his own title, as he still holds that he is king of Norway as well as Sweden. It seems that it would be a good thing, and a wise one, for . Nor way to settle down on" the basis f a republic. All nations . are drifting in this direction and ulti mately the powers of Europe will adopt this plan of govern ment. There is no excuse for any other governmental form. To declare there is reflects upon the intelligence of the common people of a nation. - If the people of any country are enlightened according to 20th century standards they are capable of self-government. If they are unfit to the task of self rule they are benighted and must .have some person or power be ' yond their own choosing to guide thenu They are incapable of choosing. - ; Norway is, we believe, fully capable of managing her affairs as a republic and the" best thing to do is to start a republic and stick to it on these lines FOR FREE LOCKS. Movement Started " by Willam ette Valley Development League. ' The rnovtinent for goveinment ownership of the Oregon City Locks was started good and strong at the meeting or the Willamette Valley Development league in Independence last week and there will be do let up in the agitation. People of Wil -::;e tj-valvey can not afford it, li. is an uiatrage that '50 cents a ton on tvery article pro duced' should be taxed up against farmers and manufactures in this valley because of a little obstruc tion in the river at Oregon City. , Since the meeting the-Portland Telegram has interviewed a num ber of transportation people i n the metropolis. Here are some of the interview?: Captain' James Shaver, of the Shaver Transportation Company do not tnmlc the Uregon City Canal and locks Should be tied up by private ' interests, which . use water for adjacent mills and often leave the channels shallow, to the detriment of steamers. Gov ernment ownership would mean that they would be : placed in good shape and always naviga ble. . . - Herbert Holman, of the Kel log Transportation . Company I don't see why the Gavernment maintains locks at the Cascades, and not on the Willamette. . This river is entitled to the locks, as well as the Columbia. . ' - Captain E. W. Spencer, ol The Dalles Navigation Company I have waited just 25 years -for such a move. It would mean the ta would be removed on every bushel of wheat and other products of the valley and thus help every one. Most emphatic allv I favor Government owner ship. 'Manager Graham, of the Yel-i low "Stack Line The residents of the Willamette Valley - be tween Portland and Eugene pay in the neighborhood of $100,000 each year as tonage at the locks., Whether the freight goes by rail or water tue rates for transportation are on the same basis, hence the shippers and consignees must shouldeT a portion of the tax of 50 cents a ton. , Government ownership would obliterate this 50 cent tax and it would reduce freight charges just that much They are the only locks in the United States covering the same amount 01 water tnat have sa heavy a tax. - Captain George Conwav, super intendent or the O. R. & N; wa ter lines xne tnrouen tax on freight is 50 cents a ton and 2 ; cents on that loaded at the mills. To make the locks free mieht possibly invite .competition on the upper river, . but that would not hurt anv one. ' D. C O'Reilly, of the Diamond O. Line The free use of the locks would help Portland, the valley and state at large. The tax handicaps the river lines and retards the development of the upper valley and river business.

But how birds know when to go, and which way'to turn, are things not yet well understood, because the flights are at night and thk great -movements start a long time before it really becomes nec essary for the birds to go.- They leave their winter homes (perhaps in Mexico) when there is no per ceptible change in the weather and return from . their breeding grounds in most cases while their food supply is at its very height long before it is coldVor the grass and weed seeds and insects begin to get scarce; - In many cases, too, the young birds of the year, who have never left their homes be fore, lead the long procession in the great southward flight and are followed later by their parents.
