The police department of Port
land ie now to be conducted on a
strictly military basis. The officers
must wear white gloves, put on a
wise look and not talk to anybody.
If the service is not improved the
white gloves will not be soiled often
in arresting criminals.
For less than an hour's brutal
work, Jeffries for whipping Corbett
got the big end of a purse amount
ing to nearly $00,000. A fortune
beyond the reach of thousands who
apply labor and brains for a life
time. Who said there was nothing
in a low moral ambition.
It is clamed that already about
one fourth of the area of the state
of Oregon has been withdrawn from
entry for the purpose of forest re
serves. It is time that the govern
ment should take action in pre
serving the rapidly disappearing
forests. Large withdrawals in
Oregon are now only temporary
and care should be used in es
tablishing permanent lines. The
time will come when tree planting
will be necessary to keep up the
supply of timber.
WEST IS STROXO FOR ROOSE
VELT.
A correspondent of the Wall
Street Journal, writing from Den
ver, says that those eastern news
papers which, at the behest of
Wall street magnates, are attempt
ing to belittle President Roosevelt
We have a larre quantity of Summer Wash Goods and Waistings left over and will sell them at a
reduction 'to make room for fall goods. These include Lawns, Ginghams, Percales, Dimities, Batistes,
Silk Ginghams 'and Mercerized Ginghams, and are all this season's goods. Owing to the flood and
backward season, we have more of a stock than we propose to carry over. It will pay you to look them
over before they are all gone.

in the hopes of beating him next
year, do not appreciate the adamant
support accorded him by an over
whelming majority of the people
of the west. Roosevelt has the
west solid, and the correspondent
says that nearly every Republican
out here and many Democrats con
cede his nomination and election,
and regard it so certain that they
have ceased to discuss the matter.
This seems to be an accurate
sizing up of the situation. The
west is strong for Roosevelt be
cause it likes him. There are
many western characteristics about
the man that appeal to the senti
mental SKle of the people of the
west, and he has an energy, rugged
independence and an honesty that
have attracted western people to
him. The western people regard
the President as a firm and faith
ful official who is pet ou doing his
full duty without fear or favor, aud
that is jbst the sort of man thev
wish to remain in the White House.
As for the opposition of Wall
street, the stronger and more open
it ip, the more popular it will make
Roosevelt in the west. Not a little
of western dissatisfaction in the
past grew out of the suspicion that
there was too close an alliance be
tween the big financiers and the
White House, and the people who
were dissatisfied will not desert a
president who has had the courage
to tell the men of Wall street that
he and not they is at the head of
the government. In fact, Wall
street opposition is what will make
Roosevelt strong with the people
outside pf Wall street, and they
are in a large majority. Spokesman-Review.

Weekly Crop Hulletin.
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of
the Weather Bureau, Oregon Sec
tion, for the week ending Tuesday,
August 18.
GENERAL SUMMARY.
A few small showers occurred
Sunday in the Willamette valley,
but otherwise the past week has
been dry, with temperatures
averaging slightly above normal.
The rains were insufficient to be of
much benefit to late crops and pas
tures, which are now beginning to
need rain quite badly. Feed is
getting short on the langes, and
the supply of milk is decreasing in
the dairy districts. Stock, how
ever continues doing fairly well,
and cattle, as a rule, are in good
flesh. An average second crop of
alfalfa has been harvested in south
ern sections. There is some hay
yet to be cut in the coast counties,
but haying in general is now com
pleted, with satisfactory yields in
all parts of the State.
The grain harvest is being push
ed everywhere, and in the "Wil
lamette valley the yields are es
pecially good, and in eastern Ore
gon they are much better than
expected, although not averaging
as heavy as last year. Spring
grain ripened under favorable
weather conditions, and the heads
are well filled with plump berries.
The week has been favorable for
hops, and although lice are more
numerous than usual, the vines
have not been injured to any ex
tent, and the prospects are good
for yields but slightly below those
obtained last year. Corn has made
good progress, and is now tasseling
and earing. Late potatoes and
gardens need rain.
Prunes are not dropping so bad
ly as they did during the previous
week, and this crop will be an extra

good one. Bartlett pears are also
very promising. Apples are quite
uneven, and it is expected the
yields will be less than the aver
age. Marie Buchanan, of Cheyenne, a
lG-year-old girl, is said to have
absorbed all the learning she can
get from American instructors on
violin, and will pursue her studies
in Bohemia. She is said to be a
musical genius.
