ANOTHER DEPARTURE.
The past week's goading beta
been sufficient to justify the Ga
zette laying aside its "quaker garb"
and adorning its fighting rig. It
has taken one year's time to decide
that while the noble (?) red men
have been banished to the hidden
recesses of the mountains their
tactics have been retained to a
considerable extent in this com
munity by the "would-be powers."
The liberal patronage of the busi
ness men bestowed upon the Ga
zette in their consideration of our
management has enabled us to
meet our bills when presented,
for which they have our sincere
gratitude, bo we have no grievance
on that score. What troubles us
most is the fellow, known as an
evil doer, who takes delight in dis
couraging not only the social cou
ditions, but the business wellfare
of the community. Sticking in the
"craw" of many of our friends is
the scurrilous article appearing in
the Times previous 1o that editor's
unfortunate affliction. Providence
commanded our respect at that
time. Now, in defense, we wil
open up our past record to the
public, inviting an inquiiy of al
tne leaaiug business men, and
church denominations with which
we have come in contact through
out Oregon, Washington and Call
fornia during the forty years o
our existence, two-thirds of which
time has been spent in the statu of
Oregon in close association with
the leading business meD, whose
respect and confidence we have re
tained. We have yet to be accused
of shirking a juBt debt, or suspect
ed of a crime against law or society
have never played the hypocrite or
meddled with affairs of others,
While we make no pretense to
brilliancy we carry public record
of having done well in our under
takings, and have standing invita
Hons to return to the fields we
have left behind. The iueiuua
tions of the article appearing in
the Times were mischievous and
carried convictions only with those
who depend upon the agency from
which they came. Evil insinua
tions like evil suspicions bode no
good for thoB with whom they
originate. Threats, insinuations
and disagreeable personalities are
not in our make up. When we
can show up the truth we Bimply
turn on the lights.
Brief War News, Tele

Kvkh since the official announce-
tnent that President McKiuley
would visit St. Faul and Minne
apolis, as well as Chicago, when he
goeswrat next month, the presi
dent has been overwhelmed with
iuvitations by mail, by wire mid
verbally to visit other western
cities. While this proof of his
personal popularity is naturally
grutifying to President MoKiuly,
it is also einbarrasing to him be
cause of his inability to accept all
the invitations and his unwilling
iirbb to appear to discriminate.
lie may decide to visit other
places, but the chances are that he
will not. His promise to visit
Chicago during its autum festival
whs ohtaiued many months auo,
and it was through his desire to
assist in welcoming the Minnesota
volunteers home from the Philip,
pines that caused him to decide to
go to Minneapolis and St. Paul;
his interest in and kindly feeling
toward the volunteers are known
to all who havo come in contact
with him.
RlHlESENTATIYE EDPY, of Min.
nesota, who is an expert in feeling
the public pulse, is in Washington.
bince oongross adjourned he has
been almost continuously on the
move, and has been from Massa
cbusetts to the state of Washing
ton, making it a point to find out
the condition of public Hontiment.
As a result of his investigation he
says that the foreign policy of the
administration will be the princi
pal issue in the presidential cam
paign. Of that ismiehe said: "The
eeutimeut of the couutry is, in my
opiuiou, overwhelmingly in favor
of maintaining American suprem
acy over every foot of territory
which came to us as a result of the
war with Spain. The anti-expansionists
of tho Kaat have really done
President McKioIey a good turn
by their calumniations. For they
have aroused the sentiment of the
people and made an issue that will
be settled in the presidential elec
tion next year, and settled right,
as every question involving Ameri
can dignity and honor has always
been settled when submitted to the
voters."
Chicago, Sept. U Robert J. Thomp
son, secretary of the Layfeyetta Memor
ial committee, ear a be thicks the peo
ple of tbe United States are making a
rash movement in condemiog theFrenoh
nation for the Dreyfus verdict.
"Tbe people of tbe United States one
deep debt of gratitude to France," be
said in an interview. "And we should
show moderation and sympathy at this
time instead of violeuce. Tbe people of
America must no forget as a nation
independent of tbe European influence
and diotation, we owe all practioally to
France. Tbe treat mnt of France by Ibe
United States has under tbe circum
stances that have existed been, to say
tbe least, tbe most nogratefnl and
shameful. Do onr people know that be
sides giving us Layfayette.Franoe has al
so given ns Roobambeau, with thousands
of the best trained soldiers in Enrope?
She gave as De Qrasse and Count d'Es
tange with fleets of splendid warships,
and she expended in her oo-operation
with Geneial Washington in tbe war for
independence, $280.000 ,000. 8he loaned
and gave as outright as gifts of friend
ship many millions of dollars and she
did these things at a time when Dot to
have done them would have meant the
absence of tbe repnblio of the United
States on the western oontinent, in my
opinion, forever.
"It seems inoredible, but history
nevertheless records thefaot," oontinaed
Secretary Tuorapsoo, "that but a few
years after our establishment of inde
pendence as an independent government
through the aid of France we negotiated
a seoret treaty of friendly alliance with
Great Britain against France resulting
in this outraged friend turning her guns
on our infant merchant marine, produc
ing a loss of $20,000 000 wbiob France
later agreed to pay if we wonld reim
burse ber for the expenses she had gone
to in establishing us as an independent
nation, We qniokly acknowledge the
expenditure on the part of France of the
$280,000,000 in our behalf, played Ibe pov
erty act and begged tbem to withdraw
their bill. To this day, 100 years after,
tbe French spoilatlon claims are unpaid.
"The United States ns a government
and the people individually owe to
France more than cau ever ba paid.
Therefore, moderation just now wonld
be tbe part of friendship rather than a
wild and useless attempt to interfere in
ber most sacred internal nil lira.
Beattlk, Hept, 20. The steamship
Topeka arrived from Lynn oaual this
evening with news of a terrible earth
quake, which began September 3 and
oontinued until September 10. Tbe
steamer Dora onrried the news to Ju
neau. The earthquake exended from
Litueya bay, 150 miles below Takutat,
500 miles northwest into tbe Cooks inlet
country, It was the greatest phenomen
witnessed in Alaska since a similar oc
curence iu the Russian days, Three die
tiuot shooka were felt al Juneau. Build-
were badly shaken. The earthquake
was most severe at Yakut-it. Kenan
island, at the enteranoe to Yakatat bay,
sank 20 feet into the sea. At high tide
only tbe tops of trees are visable.
Huge fissures opened in tbe earth.
Dora pasfengers say tbat in two minutes
the ocean rose 20 feet and almost as
quickly subsided. Indians at Yakntat
have deserted their homes and sre living
in tents on Ibe beaoh. Many have gone
to Junean.
CliK Ado, Hppt. 'Jl Harrelt, Karnum A
Co. , the board of trade firm, failed today.
Tbe bouse, it is understood, was heavily
short on wheat. Tbe shortage of the
firm was estimated at four to five n il
lions of bushel. James Walker, maosger
of tbe oonoern. thinks the atifliinninn
will be only temporary. When the fail-
are whs sunounoed st 11 o'clock the
scene in tbe pit -took on the tone of
panic. The Dnemler option bad opened
71.',,' to 7l;i, and the market flitl
quickly off under hhIhs agniust calls to

Co. renowed their efforts to cover, but
the pnoes jumped frsotlonnlly to 7?.
Theu came the Announcement of tlm

Was Light.

Tbe weather was all that oould be de
sired on Thursday on last week, when
tbe special three eights daub was ran,
instead of the half mile and repeat raoe,
which failed for lack of entries. Tbe
entries were:
Bleok Bess, by Fred Haul; Tip, by T.
J. Soroggins; Charooal, by W. C. Gibbs;
Cyrus King, by M. 8. Keeney.
But little sooring was done, and when
they were sent away every one could
see that the race lay between Fred
Hunt's beautiful black mare and the
thoroughbred stallion Cyrns King, bat
neither oould gain any advantage over
the other and tbey oame under tbe wire
neck and neck. Tbe judges decided it a
dead beat, and ordered the jookeys to
get their hois-js ready for another trial
of speed. Tip was third. Charcoal also
ran. Time, :30. Iu 20 miuutes the con
testants were at the scare again, and
when tbe flag fell tbe mare took tbe
lead and held it to tbe finish, winning
by a length.
On Friday tbe three eights of a mi'e
sweepstake race, was run for a purse of
$75, paid by tbe owners of the follow
ing named horses: Tiger, Lark and Char
ooal. Tiger won, with Lark a close
second.
But one entry was made for the five
eights mile dash on the programme for
Friday and tbe direotors substituted
special one-fourth mile dash, and barred
all fast horses on Ibe grounds. Tbe
entries were:
Miss Maud, by J H. Hamilton ; Bally,
by T. E. Hinlou; Comet, by W. G
Keeney; Barlow, by M. 8 Keenoj ;
Claude, oy Otto Ward.
Bat little time was wasted in getting
them off and they oame under tbe wire
in tbe following order: Barlow first,
Olaade seooud, Maud third, with Comet
and Bally a length behind Maud.
The one-fourth mile dash for Satur-
dao filled with the following entries;
Daisy, by Henry Hawk; Buffalo, by
Slavens & Hardv;Tip, by T.J Sorog
gins; Barlow, by M. 8, Keenej ; Claude
by J. H. C"sndy.

The Albany Journal tells a story of
two green reporters. Englishmen, who
were sent by the city editor of n certain
newspaper to n suburban town to write
up ttie burning' of an orphan hhvIiiiii.
l.nte that night when the news editor
was wondering why no "cop' about
the fire was coming by wire, a telegrnph
inesnenger niHiiea in nni winded linn it
dispatch, lie opened it and rend:
"Denr sir We are here. What shall
we do?"
It was signed w ith the names of the
two men sent to "write up" the Ore.
The news editor made a few remarks,
which, while they were appropriate to
I lie occasion, would not look well in
print; then he wrote on a telegraph
blank this brief message:
"Find out where the fire is hottest,
and jump in."
