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-

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.;

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'
