Hi.usk's reciprocity measures between
the I'nited' States and Independent Spanish
America are beginning to have their effect
on the commerce of the world. Secretary
- ft arrie ,:3 (lestr,iti of ae.iiiring the island of
Cuba for the Cniled Stales. The successful
accomplishment of lllaine's reciprislty
scheme would mean that the 1' idled States
would trade only with such American coun
tries as trade with us. We should admit
tea, coll'ce, siiK'nr, and other commodities
we need but do not produce, ilnty free from
such countries ns admit our food products
duty free and discriminate in nurfiivoriu
their own tarilf legislation. It is a well
known hu t Hint the Cniled Slates is the
great murkol for Cuban products. eccially
augur, and the closing of this market would
mean ruin to 1 1 1 tit island, as Spain is de
barred from making any arrangement un
der the reciprocity clause of the tarilf, be
cause she has treaties with Kuropcan na
tions which bindherto give them all the
privileges ot reciprocity. She therefore
cannot maintain a market for Cuban sugar
by a treaty with the Cniled States, and the
planters nl 'Cuba will have to defy Spanish
authority unit make treaties to an independ
ent power, or lind their crops rotting on
their hands and their plantations the use
less refuge of starving and rebellious work
men. Th.i culmination of reciprocity trea
ties with llruil and Mexico, would ton e a
sale of Culm h the Cniled States, or ros'ult

island.
OiiF.'iON'B delegation have accomplished
Hume good work in Congress, even if (lov
crnor l'ennoyer, did veto the wagon road
bill, and the state senate refused to change
the assessment laws or vote for an appro
priation for the worlds fair. Notwithstand
ing the petty jealousies and purly differ
ences existing, the citizens of Oregon can
point with pride to Ihe good work and gen
tlemanly demeanor of Mitchell, Dolph, and
Jlermunn, who urc acknowledged leaders
among the National statesmen of the coun
try. Wlille the senators of most ull the
slates on the I'acilic coast have secured
their election through fraud, outright pur
chase and bribery, bringing disgrace upon
upon the national hulls ol legislution.no such
imputation has ever been cast at the feet of
Oregon's senators. It is Oregon's delega
tion that have given the I'acilic delegation
"prestige und standing in national affairs.
By concerted, harmonious action they have
accomplished more for Oregon during the
last session than has been done lor the stale
in many years. '1 his shows the wisdom of
returning capable and honest legislators to
the halls of congress, as they acquire influ
ence by long acquaintance with the meth
ods of work, and arc the better enuhled to
secure the best legislation for their oonstitu.
enfs and tho country generally.
Thk people of the upper Cliickiinias arc
justly incensed because the wugon roud ap
propriation hill failed to pass, as one of the
provisions of the hill was an appropriation
for a wagon road from Baker's ferry up the
Clackamas. Tt is very important that theie
should be a good road from Oregon City to
the miner settlements on the Clackamas, or
this place will lose the entire trade and I
business of that section, and they will find a
market for their products in Cortland.
With ulmost Impassable rouds lo the county
seat : i! is not surprising that a number of the
residents of the north portion of the county
lavor the annexation of a part of Clacka
mas to Multnomah county. The board of
trade, business men and property holders
of Oregon City must be brought to a realiz
ation that it Is of paramount Importance to
have a substantial and passable thorough
fare lo this, one of Ihe richest sections of
the Willamette valley. Inasmuch as the
annexation scheme is sleeping at present, It
behooves the citizens to be on the alert and
take prompt action before the time for an
other legislature to roll around, as we can
not afford to let Multnomah county have a
alice of our best territory.

Ar the ineeling of tha director of Ilia
Slale Agricullural Society held last week nl
Salem, i coiumlltc was appointed to act In
conjunction w ith the state board of trade
to devise means of raising a fund lo pro
vide for an exhibit to the world's fair. Hon.
J, T. Apperson, of Ibis city, Is 1 mi-nilier ul'
that committee, nod mplintlcallv stated
that he would bo on of 100 to raise 10,000,
or one of itw to raise fltln.OOii. This com-
uiittee are tleterniltiei that Oregon shall
have no exhibit at th world's fair, and with
the active co-operation of th various boards
of trade, and the stale board, they will eel'
tainlv succeed.
Amono tlui urgent needs of this city Is
new hose, bidders, lira hooks and hose
truck, with improved appliances forth
lire department, besides complete tin Hill
for washing, drying and airing the hose
alter it has boon used. When the new water
pump is completed the pressure will lie so
great that the present half rotten h.-sr will
lie liable to give nwiy at any (imo w hen its
service is most nede.l. It would lie mat-
j ter of criminal negligenceto ernilt the mmi
Ibility of such ucetdenu occurring, as it
would le far K tler for the oily lo Incur a
slighl expense In properly tilling oul the lire
department' than to have the principal pint
ol the city destroyed by a coiilliigration.
An increasing Interest Is being taken in
the schools of Clackamas county, and it Is a
notable hut that their ellielency is being
augmented to an encouraging degree. The
majority of tho district! have voted lilierul
rate! of taxation, either to provide for new
school building, school improvements, or
to inanition a longer term of school. All
this shows a reniarkuble improvement in
school matters. There Is a growing demand
among patrons and school ultlcers to secure
the best teachers, even if they have lo pay
higher salaries. Superintendent Thomson,
who has labored hard for the advancement
of the public schools of Clackamas county,
and visited every district within lis U.rdi rs,
reports the schools to ho In a flourishing
condition. Much giant has been accom
plished by Mr. Thomson in his effort! to
In-tler tho standard and ettleiency of our
public schools.
Thk West Shore very properly sayi thai
tho sale ol the Hunt system of rail roads,
taken in cnmipctiou wilh the failure of the
Oregon legislature to pass the bill for a port-
ago railroad around the dalles of the Colum
bia, renders the outlook for speedy rebel of
the Inland empire from its heavy transort-
ttlion burden very gloomy indeed. In fad,
the situation has become so precarious that
theencrgv of the boards of trade, reeently
convened in Walla Walla to urge action
Usni the legislatures, should now la- di
rected towards securing the raising of i sub
sidy for the purtose of ultording ihe neces
sary relief. The Immediate opening of the
tiolundiiu river to navigation between the
great producing Interior and Ihe sea is
question of such vital Importance lo the in
land towns, Portland and Astoria, that
proper effort ought to secure money enough
to accomplish li in time lo aid In the move
ment of the now growing crop. The Port
laud chamber of commerce should lake the
Initiative in this matter.
Tim National Australian conference is
now Pi session at Sidney. A number of
delegates ure favorable to acoitstilutiuii sim
ilar lo that of the I' idtod Slates, while many
others prefer the constitution of the iHimin
inn ot ( auuda as the basis of Ihe Instrument
to he formulated, lint out of all this there
is a strong feeling in lavor of absolute Inde
pendence, and it Isnqiorted that the adher
ents of that principle will make a desperate
ellorl to capture the convention. A num
ber of delegates contend that the greiilnen
of Australia depends wholly upon her
abandoning Ktiglaud and becoming Imle
pendent. They affirm that this sentiment
is growing unci is certain to assert itself
within a decade, no matter what action Ihe
convention may take in any other direction
It is staled that the younger element, which
knows little, If anything, about England, is
rapidly la-coniing enthusiastic for tho free
dom movement.
Tim complaint was made, when the mat
ter was brought up of extending the city
limits, by residents of the additions and
suburbs that the increased taxes would
work a hardship on them. The most hitler
fight against the extension of the city liin
its came from a portion of the residents of
Cuucmuh, who claimed that they would
have a heavy city tax to pay, but did not
take into consideration the advantage and
protection (hut would accrue by being in
cluded within the city limits, (inly last
week u school lax of 'It mills was levied in
(,'unemuh, w hich with the levy of 2 mills
or siaie. scnooi ami county tax, makes a
total of IS mills that the residents of the
Cancmuh school district have to pay. Had
Can e ii i nil been included within the corporate
limits of Oregon City, her school tax would
have been only 4 mills, insteud of L'l, and
she would liuv e reaped ull of the advantages
of the high school, lire protection and ull
the other benefits to he derived from incor
poration and united action. For in union
there is strength and economy.
Thkoi on the sale of the Hunt system of
railroads lo Mr. Wright, the Northern I'a
cilic bus secured a big feeder to its main line.
It Is reported Unit Hunt would have lieeu
much heller pleased if lie could have lunde
some arrangements to place his lines in the
humls either of the Union 1'acilii: or Orciit
Northern. The Northern I'acilic, however,
had cluims upon Hunt which forced him lo
give It greater consideration than lie would

cial troubles. The Northern l'uclllc wonted
the road because it will prove a big feeder
to its main line, but they would not pur
chase until they could secure it ut a low fig
ure, us negotiations have been pending for
some time. Hy the purchase of this line, ut
least seven-tenths ol tho wheat of Kastern
Washington will be brought to Tacoma. If
Portland people had come to Hunt's assist
ance, or had taken control of the road, they
would liuve undoubtedly secured the wlieut
from, the territory east of the Cascades.
They would liuve diverted nearly four-fifth.,
ofthe grain from Walla Walla, the Pendle

have gone up ai d tapped the Hlg Bend

Poets of the 1'Roltlc Coast.
Mrs, KvaKmery Dye, of Oregon City, was
awarded the first prize by the judges of the
West Shore poetical contest for the month
of February. The contest was open to the
poets of the entire I'acilic coast and there
wero many competitors. Mrs. Dye's poem
Is entitled, "In tho (Irand Canyon," and
possesses su perlor literary 'merit :
Bend, dip tho oar, away, away,
Adown the canyon grand and gray,
Where rapids rour and cliffs on high,
Embattled round, shut out the sky,
Where gorge, escarp, and fissure yawn
With phantom features In tho dawn.
A streak of sky is all that tells
Of life on high, where daylight dwells.
Light up, ye rocks verniilion-hiied,
The darkness of this solitude,
As on we glide where granite walls
Kmhosoined hide huge waterfalls,
Whose distant (lashings have thoir birth
Deep in the heart of mother earth.
Far up the heights the mountain sheep
Look down the canyon dark and deop,
And elk and deer secluded rove
In sheltered valleys far above;
The mountain lion builds his den
On high In some dark plney glen,
And 'iieuth red sandstone ledges hide
Huge grizzlies up Ihe canyon side.
Speed on, good bout, ero miielslrom simlch
Thee with an arm I cunnot match,
Past Aztec watch towerson the peaks,
Where sleeps an ago that never speaks,
Where Hint chips still and temples trace
The tenure of a perished race;
Past dead volcanoes, whereof old
The fire and flood in conflict rolled,
And molten lava dammed the tide
Along the canyon's blackened side.
Leap on, my boat, the wideearlh win;
Too long this prison shuts us in;
For days and days this gruuito gloom
Has locked us in a living tomb.
I long for Holds where free winds blow,
Where mallow, sngennd roses grow,
Where find's glad daylight pours on high,
And all the earth is domed wilh sky.
