This paner will be continued nntil all arrearages are pail ANOTHER FAIR. Evidently the .Lewis and Clark Fair was a splendid thing: for Portland for there is a move ment ori foot to hold another fair in the metropolis during; the com ing summer. In fact, ' commit tees are already canvancing Portland for signers to the fol lowing pledge: "We, as citizens of Progressive Port land, fully realizing the great importance of n annual Fall industrial exposition and general fair, hereby respectfully or ye all patriotic citizens of the state, county and city to encoumje the senti ment now favoring this worthy enter prise. We believe that it should be a tri Sta'e Exposition and should include the resources of Washington, Idaho and Oregon. ' Geographically, Portland is situate 1 in tne hert of that vast region known as the Pacific Northwest. It is the basin of gravity and tho granary of the wonder- pus products of the thre ereat states meotioued. and should prepare a com wodious and fitting sits for a credible display of their matchless resources. "We hereiy pledge our personal and financial aid to such a worthy eater- prise " Many are the prominent busi ness men who have attached their signatures to the above pledge. That Portland profited by the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion is not to be denied. Nor does anyone envy her the mater ial benefits that have resulted so largely in her upbuilding and the infusing of new energy and lorces so vital to the city's wel fare. But other things must be considered. It is well to remember that these Fairs, to be successful, must be supported by the coun try tributary to Portland. The drain upon the resources of the country resultant from the Expo sition of a year ago is felt yet vv nne it is not great, in various parts of tne country there are slight signs of depression arid the cause is generally ascribed to the Lewis and Clark Fair. While there may be those who will look upon the sum as a mere bagatelle, it is conservatively estimated that the fair held last year cost Benton county $100,- 000 other counties proportion ately. Features of this character which draw so largely upon the resources of rural districts should be seriously considered before undertaken. If they occur to frequently they work a hardship upon the country at large and one of two things are likely to occur if patronized as we should desire to see them the people of outlying districts suffer, if not patronized Portland suffers fi nancially, to which may be add ed chargin and ' humiliation. If Portland is determined to hold another big fair during the com ing summer or fall we earnestly hope for the combined glory of the metropolis and the state that it may prove a great success, but v;a wish to advise against too frequent occurrences of these ex positions which may work a hardship on the rural population and ultimately prove harmful to tho greatest city of the North west. ABOUT RIGHT. The mother and brother of Harry Tenny, the light-weight pugilist who was beaten to death at San Francisco Wednesday night, assert that he was poison ed by strychnine. Some of the other animals who were proddinjr him on after he had lost one eye and was otherwise disabled in dignantly deny that the poison was used, evea for a stimulant, As it seems to be the proper thing to use "dope" in horse racing in California, it is not quite clear why any objection should be made to its use cn prizefighters. . To be sure, Tenny is the second in his profession to perish in the ring in California in the past month, but it should be remembered that there are always plenty of these male pros titutes remaining, and society in general would not wear mourn ing for a protracted period if the census of prizefighters showed a reduction of two per day instead of only two per month. Oregon- ian. The Standing Army. With a .standing army of onl y about 25,000 men , available'. in the event of hostilities1 in the Orient, it is the opinion of local officers in the state and Federal military departments that "the United States would fidd it nec essary to fall back upon the Na tional Guard for troops savs the Telegram: This, however, would be nec essary only in case the United States government were obliged to cope with the situation alone, otherwise the 2;,oco available troops, including infantry, caval ry and artillery, would be suffi cient for the time being, and the state troops, if called out, would be held m reserve in case of an emergency. Significance additional to that aroused by the urgent requests made by the War Department for special reports on the condition of the Oregon militia in the "event of sudden hostilities," is attached to the recent action ot the Secre tary ot the Navy in ordering the graduates of the Annapolis Acad emy back to immediate duty in the Navy before the expiration of the customary six weeks' vaca tion granted between graduation and service. In the past it has been the rule of the government to grant grad uates of Annapolis and West Point six weeks' leave of abcence before being called to actual duty in the service, but in the case of the January class at the Annapo lis Academy some of the gradu- ates had barely reached their homes when they received orders tor duty on different cruisers and battleships. This was true in the cases of Fred Perkins, of Salem, and Raleigh Hughes, of this city, neither of whom had been at home more than three days when orders came to repert for dutv. Both are graduates as midship men ot the nrst class, and rer kins was ordered to report to the cruiser Chicago, of the Pacific squadron, for duty, and Hughes e.t 0.1 February 19, for New York -where he sailed on the steamship Niagara, to report to Admiral Robert Evans for duty on the battleship Missouri. It is a well-known fact that tne Navy is badly in need of officers, and the hurried dispatch of the graduates for duty is regarded as significant by the officers of the ederal departments here, and as indicative that trouble is antici pated by the War Department. Colonel Jackson, Inspector- General of the Oregon militia. has completed the annual in spection and forwarded his special report to the War Depart ment, as has also Adiutant Gen-1 eral Finzer, on clothing and equipment, but these reports are official and confidential, and will not be given out for publication As Others See Him. Of the men who are runuiug as candidates for the Republican nomination for Congressman in the First Congressional district there is no one more able than Willis C. Hawley. Mr. Hawley is a man ot strong and forcible character, simple and direct in his speech, clear and resourceful in thought, and. a man well fitted to honor the peo ple ot Oregon. He is Vice-President and Dt ctn of Willamette University, the School of Ait and of the Law School, and is a member of the Oregon bar. His service with the University has been marked by his devotion to its interest and the public good, rather than to personal or selfish ends. His special work is constitutional, political, economic' and indus trial history of the United States, of which he is a master. There is no better nor more able man to he up for election 2 go this year than Mr. Hawley. He will serve to the best of his abili ty the people of the state and the country, and deserves the support of the piopie who desire to see any man represent us in Congress who will be a powerful factor in just legislation, to whom graft will make no appeal, to whom we can look for an upright and fear less protection of onr laws and rights, a man who is no mere flowery, meaningless speaker; but a powenui, nara-worKing leaaer, prominent in committees and in open :. debate. Uottage Grove Leader. COUNTRY CORRESPONDENCE. Life. Ia the rustic seat I'm sitting, Neath the rustle of the leaves, Of the old familiar maple Branches, turned by- every breeze. As I sit and ponder ever. Life with ail its changing scenes, Then me thinks I cannot, ever Analyze its mystic dreams. Does this lite flow on forever; Just this spark we love so well? Who will dare to be so clever As to say just here it dwells ? It but here it dwelleth only On this earth with all its cares, Then this life ia surely lonely, FMed with discontent and tears. But we long for brighter mansions. When life's work'is faithfully done, And to enter on the mission That an honored life has won. There receive a crown of glory, Promised each and every one Who have lived the precepts only Of the Christ, the only Sou. And at last when all are gathered Friends and kin we love so dear What a hallelujah chorus Then will meet Jeach tentive ear. Then the eye of mortal darkness, Thus bedim med with many a tear, And the soul that hath oeen restlesF, Will be free from every care.; T.vB. Williamson.' OAK GROVE.

CORVALLIS, CLEARS SYSTEM OF ANGER Woman Who Writes Letters She Never Mails Simply to Get Meanness Out of Her. i I write lots of letters that I uever . man, saia a woman to a friend, according to the Kansas City Times. "What do I do with them? I tear them up. I write them simply to get the things I want to say out of my system. For instance, if the butcher has sent me a mediocre steak, and I am mad about it I don't call him up and scold him. I simply send the steak back, and then sit down and write a letter giving him the very mischief for his carelessness. "When I have written it I read it over. I have the rebuke out of my system, and I feel better. Next I tear the letter up. The butcher gets his steak back and knows he was careless. He sends me another one, and is more care ful next time. He didn't need the calling down, but I needed to get rid of it. Every once in awhile 1 sit down and write notes to peo ple, telling them exactly what I think of them. "When I get the things I want to say out of my system the note? are destroyed and. I am relieved. That is the way I keep people lik ing me. 1 say what I think of them, and have the satisfaction that comes from saying it, but it never reaches them or anybody else' He Had Reformed. "There was a time when you bought my poems and paid a good price for them," whined the party with the unbarbered hair. "Why do you decline to purchase them now?"
