How long shall the present Tariff remain on our statute fooo!:s?" is a more or less inter esting inquiry that has come up to us from sources in opposition to present schedules and provis ions. It is probable that the present Tariff will remain in the country's big books just so long as its results are beneficial to the American workingmen, just so long as it seems to furnish the anotive power for the great mills and factories and mines of the Republic, just so long as it pro vides prosperity to the American "farmer and farm, just so long as it provides for a profitable market at home and abroad, just so long, an fact, as it serves the purpose for which it was intended by the Republican statesmen and Re publican sentiment that made possible its enactment. Ameri can men may differ on almost every proposition that comes be iore them for consideration, but they do meet and join hands on one common ground and that is a willingness and desire for con ditions that make for prosperity and profitable activities. Adrian CMich.) 'Times." WELL BACKED.. When the government of the "United States undertakes any proposition it is pretty certain to move. What the government promises its citizens may be irelied upon implicitly. On the the other hand, it seems that the government is exacting more of its people now than at some times in the past. Corruption, just at present, is not much in fashion in governmental circles. The part played by the govern ment in the recent past will have a salutary effect on many to -whom the task of withstanding temptation is hard. Under the date of October 23, the following dispatch was sent throughout the land from Wash ington, D. C. : Two towns, for which the United States Government will act as cponsor. will be created next month in Southern Idaho, on sites which now are an abso lute desert aste Names already have een chosen for ihem Heyburn for the first, which official I v fa to be created November 14, and Rip-i t for the second, which is to be created one week later. The towns will be seven miles apart. Sales of town lots will be conducted binder Government auspices on the days the towns are created. The lots will be TSoldt the highest bidder. While the eo -in try is now a desert waste, it is ex pected that the great irrigation canals "which the (iovernment is constructing at cot of $3,000,000 will make it very .productive. The towns are located on Tthe recently constructed branch of the Oregon Short Line Railroad. Thus we find the government standing sponsor for . cities of lier own creation. Beyond doubt there is good reasons for estab lishing these towns. Of course, this is something out of the or dinary, but the fact that "Uncle Sam" is back of the towns, to a certain degree, will cause more -of a boom to these townsites than any other thing we can fancy. The confidence the peo . pie have in those holding the reins of the government and the knowledge that the govern mental authorities would not will ingly delude the citizens, will act as a greater incentive to a stam pede for Heyburn and Rupert, Idaho, next month than if these plpes were scenes of gold strikes. We look to v Hey' urn and Rupert spring fro;:: the earth from nothingness to smaU'cities', ' as it were almost - as - mush rooms. Beyond doubt here will be an opportunity for some le gitimate speculation. THE COLORED RACE. Forlo! these many years the the colored race problem has engaged the attention of our greatest thinkers. It is still receiving much thought and! attention and the problem does not seem near solution by a long shot. Time was when our foremost men suggested but two possibilities regarding the course of the colored race in the pros pective clash with the whites. One of these courses was a race war. This seemed terrible and all good citizens shrank in horror from such a solution. The other mode of meeting the race proposition in the United States was the amalgamation of the races- To the self-respecting white people this seemed even more horrible and degrad ing than the former alternative. It seems that President Roose velt has sounded a note that com ing from him rings truer and seems to possess more timbre than had it been voiced by any other instrument. A few days ago the president. while on his trip through the South, honored the Tuskegee Industrial Institution, the great school built up for his race by Booker T. Washington, the famous negro, with a visit. While there President Roosevelt. among other things said: Hitherto I have spoken chiefly ot the obligations existing on the present white man. Now let you remember on the other hand that no help can permanent ly a. ail you save as you yourselves de velop for self-help. You, young colored men and women, educated at Tuskegee, must by precept and example lead your fellows toward sober, industrious and law-abiding lives. You are in honor bsund to join bands in enforcing the laws and to war against all crimes, and especially against crime by men of your own race, for the heaviest wrong done by the criminalist is the wrong to his own race. Yon must teach "the people of your race that they must scrupulously observe any contract into which they in good faith enter, no matter whether it n hard to keep or not. If you save money, se cure homes, and lead clean decent lives, you will win the respect of your neigh bors of both races. Let each man strive to excel his fellows only by rendering substantial, evidence to the community in which he lives. The people have many difficulties to pass through, but these difficulties will be surmounted if only the policy of reason and common rense is pursued. You have made real and great progress. According to the census, the colored peo ple of this ceimtry own and pay taxes on something like $3.X) 000,000 worth of property, and have blotted out over 50 per cent of the illiteracy. What von have done in the past is an indication of what you will be able to accomplish in the future under wise badersbip. Moral and industrial education is what is most needed in order that this progress may continue. Thus we find the president ad vocating education and industry J? j 1 . ior tne suppression of race troubles. That "idleness is the mother of crime" is an old saw, and while in many ways it may not always -prove true, in the main it will do to advocate. The trip of the president to Tuskegee was truly an act of courtesv and kindness. By his examDle he he gives encouragement to a peo ple who from the white man's point of view has little to hope for. The white man" brouo-ht the negro here and is really the responsible party. True, it was the act of a former generation. but equally true the "sins of the lather descends to the son." EDDY AT YAQUINA. One Man Mistakes Another for a Deer and Kills Him. Almost frsntic with grief at having., mortally wounded jhis hunting companion, . W.. G. Eddy, by having mistaking him for a deer, - R. L. Holze was unab'e to find his way back to where he had left the wounded man to get him a drink of water, and Eddy died probably long before he was found by a searching party 18 hoars later. Both men are from -ITnts, Or., and the accident occured seven or eight miles up the North Fork of the Nehalem, whither they had gone to establish a Winter hunt ing camp. , t The accident occurred early i Saturday afternoon. Hotze and i Eddy were hunting and had separated. The young ' man thought his companion was be hind him, and seeing aslir in the bushes ahead, fired. The cries of the victim of the mistake soon made it known. Hotze hastened to the scene and did what he could for the wounded man by laying him in an easv position and bolstering his head up with a coat. Then he started to the ueaiest creek, some distance away to get a drink of water for Rddv who complained of intense thirst. He reached the river but was unable to find hiswav back. Hp searched for several hours, and finally, as darkness approached, started for help. Thev had been camped in a deserted cabin in tne region, and the nearest house was four miles awav. Hotze reached it late at night, almost exhausted, and panted out his ieariul tale. Assistance was summoned from Nehalem, and a party started out in search before davlip-bt. About eight o'clock they found the dead body where Hotze had left it in search of water. Eddv had been shot through the hip and his wound in any event would probably have been fatal. Hotze is almost distracted, be cause he. deems himself responsi ble, not only for Eddy's death, but for the untold aeonies which he must have suffered before death relieved him. Eddv and Hotze came here from Lents a few days ago. Ed dy practiced magnetic healing there, and had resided in that vicinity about seven months, coming from, Yaquina Bay, where his father is still residing. The dead man was a widower, and had no family living. He served at one time in the Armv. and was a pensioner on the disability list, tie was about 57 years old, and his companion, was much younger. Another Oregon Triumph. There are many thinss found in Oregon that may well cause native pride to come to the sur face. Among the things Oregon excells in is apples and pears; An item appeared recently in the Oregon Journal that is worthy ot a reprint, as follows: A farpier and fruit-grower liv ing pear Bedford received tele graphic word last week from a New York commission house that a car load ot Comic- pears iiad sold in that city at $7.70 to $6. 10 per box, averay ine $6. 80. :md that the carload, " consisting of 1,000 halt-boxes, had brought $3,429, the higuest price ever received in that city for a car load of pears. This is a big adver tisement for the Rogue River Valley, and the ' shipper, J. W. Perkins, not only gets large re turns for his fruit, but becomes a benefactor of that whole region and of Oregon. Other orchard ists of that - part of Oregon are also aiding it in gaining a high reputation in the East, a car load of Bartlets being recently sold having averaged $4.30 per box and a car load of Beurre d' Anjou for $5.36 per box, at auction sale in New York. Mr. Perkins, however, used half-boxes, hold ing 26 pounds of fruit each, and made from clean No. 1 lumber. He used lithographed paper and laDeis on tne boxes, -lancy lace paper border and lithographed top mat. All this cost somethiii-r but it paid, for appearances count ror mucn with those able to buy the best. They are willing to pay tor style. Ot course great care was also taken in the se lection and packing of the fruit, and the result was the fanciest and highest priced ' car load" of pears ever sent to New York City. Another Southern Oregon horticulturalist also holds the re cord of a car load of full-box fruit though it is not up to this shipment of'half boxes. , These incidents ought to stim ulate all orchardists in that region and of the whole state to the ex ercise of enterprise, violence. and the utmost care in the pro- auction and packing of frait. CASTOR! A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of S7 Can She Save Save vS-liiR3SS3 Them ? Manv a tioor mother who reels that those she holds most pre cious are gradu ally slipping away from her over the terrible precipice of disease, would be thank ful to know what Doctor Pierce's wonderful "Golden Medical Discovery" has done to restore thousands of weak and wasted chil dren to complete rounded, rosy, healthy, activity ami iuq. "Five years ago this last fall I was taken flown with a fever and was very bad for several months." writes Mrs. Henrietta Bell, of Diamond, Ohio. She continues: "Finally recovered from the fever, then my lunps became very bad. The doctor said I had consumption, and that he had done all he could for me. and he did not think that I could get well. My case was- a very danger ous one. Became very weak, had night sweats, also a very bad cough, night and day. At times would spit blood. I felt as though my time on earth would be short Requested my husband to get me a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and perhaps it would help me. Before I had taken one bottle my cough was almost gone. The next to disappear were the night-sweats. I am almost sure that if it had not been for your medicine I would not have been here to-day." If mothers will only write to Dr. Pierce concerning the ailments of their family he will send them sound and valuable advice in a plain sealed envelope, and without any charge whatever. His remarkably wide experience has qualified him to deal with diseases which baffle the local prac titioner. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buf falo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con stipation. One little " Pellet " Is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic What is wanted and demanded, and must be supplied if fancy or even good prices are to be ob tained, is quality. The fruit must be the very best quality of its kind, and then it must be tastefully and even stylishly packed. Oregon can beat the world in various kinds of fruit, and fruit-raisers who spare no pains are sure of a rich reward. A Few Points About Leather Bottomed Rubber Boots Up to the time of placing the Rubberhide Boot on the market all of the Leather Bottomed Rub ber Boots were made by nailing the bottoms to the rubber upper. The nails are driven through both leather and rubber, punctur ing the rubber with two rows of holes from the heel to the toe, Water will work in between the leather and the rubber, and find ing the openings thus made by the nails, are sure to leak. The Rubberhide Boot is made by lasting the upper under the foot for an inch, all around the bottom up to the middle sole. The upper and rubber welt sole are joined by vulcanizing them toge ther, forming a union that re sists the hardest wear. It has a heavy leather inner sole. The sole leather, which is thor oughly waterproofed, is stitched to the rubber welt sole;this makes an absolutely water-tight boot, and one that will not leak. It is impossible for the water to get into the boot except over the top. For honesty of con struction, comfort and durability. the Rubberhide Boot is without an equal. ' Not low-priced, but cheap r'A leather bottom rubber boot will .wear longer than an all rub ber boot. The Rubberhide will give longer service, more com fort to the wearer, and greater return for the money invested, A trial will convince you.
