Wp oniov an abundance of diversified , industries such as bless no other country under the sun all admit the truth of this assertion. But without deve op ment natural resources are valueless. In Oregon our untitl ed land, is profitless. Even on land producing the richest crops in great abundance, the same may be said to be without value unless said crops are garnered and marketed. So it is all along the line. "Development" is the word in Oregon today it should be the slogan of ail As great as any one feature is the matter of a market. Wh it does it profit any man to produce and harvest a rich and abundant crop if he has no mar ket for the same? The responsi bility of providing a market for the various products of this state rests largely if not wholly upon the business men of Portland Ten million tons of wheat and unto'd millions of feet of fine lumbar are of no value without a market. The better the mar ket for the product of any sec tion of country the better off will be the people of such com munity. Few states have more natural resources than Oregon, but as yet they are not developed to the fullest. The matter of market is quite a factor in keeping us back in manv things. Another important consideration is trans portation. For lack of transpor tation in many sections of Ore gon multitudinous natural re sources have been retarded. Little by little as the years have rolled by we have been de velopinsr and awaiting with what patience we could the time when outside capital would be attracted to this state. And it seems we have not waited in vain. A present we are pleased to note that the optics of capitalists from without our state are focused upon Oregon, with every indica tion that within a very short time we shall see such an era o development that will eclipse our wildest dreams. In the way of railroads the in indications are that we shall soon see more railroad building with in our borders than any other state in the union can boast There are numerous resources to be developed when these roads are built and those who put the roads in operation will be wel repaid for their investment. Everything looks promising and within a decade we shall be dis appointed if lare areas of the state that are now arid do not bloom with everything from po tatoes to roses- SCORCHES HIM. T. T. Geer has announced him self a candidate for the nomina tion fcr Governor- It we are to judge him by the speeches he is making it would seem that the voter- could make a better choice. These speeches show more demagoguery than logic. In one of them he said: "The country at large experienced mor j rcnuine hard times of the acute specie during any fifteen minuter of Cleveland's last term than during any of the interven ing ten years." Mr. Geer must imagine that he is talking to ig noramuses who neither read nor have memories. The above is from the Toledo Reporter and is unmistakable in its bluntness. Editor Scott of the Oregonian, would like to be senator from Oregon, and for that reason is now opposing the election of a senator by the people, insisting that it is not practical or just, Tvif fhaf flio mamKDre r fVi larr i islature should elect the man. Eugene Guard. This reminds us of the story of the "jackdaws and the dead lion," save the fact that the lion in this case is not dead. AN HINDO REVJEiY. (Continued from first patre.) discussion of trade and tariffs ; the history of India with a view to its solidarity; the rights of India as one of the nations of the world and the possibilities of India's future greatness have tound no place in the educational curriculum. The student is not taught as he is in Japan, America and else where, tw look upon his country as distiuct from the world, but on the contrary, he is taught to promote the interests of every other nation at the expense of the interests of his mother coun trv. He is taught that he has no country of his own and, there fore, has no educational standard of comparison and value. He is forced to accept the national standard of England and to sub ordinate his interests to those of the mother country (England). The system in votjue is designed to prevent the higher intelligence ,i the country irom performing its duty to the state. In- other countries the school education is so directed as to give the middle classes an interest in commerce and industry and to equalize and harmonize the dif ferent elements of population. In India school education causes aversion and contempt for industry and trade in the minds of young Indians and naturally makes them more stiff and dog matic with the result that caste, jealousy and commercial hostility find more of its followers from the so-called educated men in India, and these are the fellows who begin to fix their eyes at the island 6,ooo miles away for their guidance and inspiration. The system of education in India draws away from industrial pursuits those who are best fkted for them and sends them to be subordinate civil servants under England or to swell the ranks of struggling clerkdom. The ob ject ;ot secondary education in foreign countries is to fit persons of average ability for those pur suits for which they have apti' tnde. In India secondary educa tioa means nothing but a know ledge of reading, writing and figunng- The :ni portation of foreigners for every office in India is defend ed on the ground that education in India produces no men capable of doing what the imported men are asked to do. The national university should meet the argu ment by producing men who will fill positions requiring tech nical skill and advanced scholar ship. Building a Boathouse. A number ot the young men of this city who have boats and canoes on the river and enjoy boating during the season have decided to build a good boat house iu which to store their property, and where boats can be kept in good condition when not in use. They have had built at Peoria on the upper river two fiat boats, each 6x24 feet with a df th of two feet, and these will be brought here, moored ia the Calapooia and 011 them a house bat will be built. The flatboats will be moored side by ssde, will be floored over and the house constructed, and within racks icr boats and canoes will be con structed on which the boa's will be placed when not in use. The flalboats have been com pleted and tomorrow morning early a half dozen cf the young men will drive to Peoria to bring the fUttoats to the city. The scows have been fitted with two long sweeps each, fore and aft, and will be floated down the river, leaving Peoria about 8:30 tomorrow morning and reacuiug Albany about 2 p. m. The young mm going alter the scows promise themselves great sport in navigating the scows down the swollen waters of the Wil- auiette. The boats are made of the best two-inch stuff, the seains thoroughly caulked,' and they will be as safe and easily navi- -rn tpr ac a fiver ;ttjmfr. Among those going up re river are Chester Stevenson, Thomas Stevens, Elvia Crutcnfield, Wal ter Stuart and Charles Cline. Albany Herald. Law Needed. Every breeder of pure-bred poultry ought to get interested in a law to make chicken stealing a felony. California has such a law and there is no reason why the rest of the states should not have such a law. When there are so many pure-bred fowls in the country that have cost good money and time to raise, and are valuable as a businees bringer, there should sureiy be something more than a disdemeanor offense attached to the larceny of the same. we believe that 11 the property men in the different states of the northwest would de mand this that there would be no trouble in having a law passed covering this crime, although it would not be as hard to prove the value of pure-bred chickens in almost any town now as it was a few years ago. We believe that these thieves merited a term in the penitentiary, and we feel that there would be no trouble whatever of convicting them of lelony had the prosecuting at torney attempted to do so.

With stomach- and blood in good order ou can tight tlio att'.e of life suc cessfully aeainst all odds. Golden Seal root (Hj--drastis), is a famous remedy for dyspep sia, arid Qijee x's root (StllliiiJjia), has a direct action in promoting the renewal of the blood. Both of these are used in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in such a way. by skillful extraction, com bination and solution without alcohol, that their best effects are secured. Many years of actual practice con vinced Dr. Pierce of the value of many native roots as medicinal agents and ho went to great expense, both in time and in money, to perfect his own peculiar pro cesses for rendering them both efficient and safe for continuous use as tonic and rebuilding agents. The enormous popularity of "Golden Medical Discovery " is due both to its scientific compounding and to the actual medicinal value of the ingredients. The publication of the names of the ingredi ents on the wrapper of every bottle hereafter to be sold, gives full assur ance of its non-alcoholic character and removes all objection to the use of an unknown remedy."
