FRIDAY...
Developing the resource-
0e way to develop
the r-
sources o Uatsop county is to
bring into prominence, into gener
al notice, the soil, timber, situation,
and natural wealth o the county.
This showing, truthful and without
exaggeration, attracts immigrants
of the right sort who come to make
homes and who thus add as no
other factor can add to the general
nrnsneritr of the community. Im
migrants of the right sort are
needed about as much as anything.
Men who are looking for "open
ings," or "soft jobs," or who think
the world owes them a living, are
not needed. And in a general
way, it may be said that men who
are likely to become public charg
es are not any more desirable here
than anywhere else.
But there are men on the wind
swept plains of Dakota, in the
frozen recesses of Northern Min
nesota, in the pine barrens of Wis
consin, that are in earnest in their
desires to get a permanent home
for themselves and their families;
they would be good citizens to
have anywhere, but have been un
fortunate in their selection of res
idence. To them and such as
them, this section offers unusual
advantage, provided they are of
sufficient staying quality to accom
modate themselves to existing cir
cumstances and accept aid from
kindly Nature that sends frost and
snow but at rare intervals as if to
remind the resident what would
be but for the genial warmth of
the Japanese ocean current at our
gates.
A committee on resources, ac
tively employed could do consid
erable in this regard, and even if
apparent personal profit were not
at once recognizable, yet there
are sufficient men of public spirit
here to aid in such an effort at
common prosperity.
Of course the adverse critics
must not be forgotten, the clams
who open their shells and cry "oh,
there you go again: what in the
world do 3tou want to bring more
people here for! I made a better
living and an easier one when
there was only 500 people in the
place than I can now."
Happily such croakers are few
and growing fewer, but their re
tarding influence has done much
to keep us in our present back
ward condition.
Fear of competition character
izes a coward. If a man can't suc
ceed because some one else is in
the same line of business he doesn't
deserve to succeed.
But even looked at in the one
sided light of mossback dread of
new comers it must be evident to
their selfish souls that the more
that come the better the market,
and that every immigrant repre
sents a consumer, a purchaser, and
a source of probable profit.
Our chamber of commerce is
taking hold of this matter and
with creditable diligence in this as
in other regards, is furthering the
idea to its best ability. In this
the amount of interest and practi
cal co-operation that is exhibited
will be the measure of success.
LAWS OF VENGEANCE.
Bills were reported recently
pending before both the Illinois
and Indiana legislatures, providing
that in a case of deliberate murder,
when the murderer is the father,
brother or husband of a woman
who has been betraj'ed, and the
slain man is proved to have been
her betrayer, the offense is to be
considered only as a misdemeanor,
punishable only by a fine. This
is probably an exaggerated state
ment of the true character of the
measures. It is very difficult to
believe that legislators anywhere
would go so far as to place the
execution of the law in the hands
of men in this manner. It will be
said that he who acted under such
a law would do so with the full
knowledge of the risk assumed;
that he must be certain the case
is one within the law. But
suppose such a bill to become
a law, and a citizen to
take the life of anether: nder
the belief that the victio Gf his
selection was guilty, ap d it si,ouid
appear on trial that he was in er.
ror in iorming tb agment he
carried to xecution. There
would be no 'conviction for murder
tn such a c-a-sei for the reason that
the deferent would escape under
the pie a that he believed he was
justified, and that the alleged facts
brought to his knowledge, though
unfounded, were sufficient to war
rant nis beliel and the action
which the law itself invited. Ju
ries will not convict the men who
avenge the honor of wives, daugh
ters, and sisters, but the state can
not afford to set up an avenging
code. It may be, as is said in de
fense of the proposed new laws,
that they but rrive voice to the
sentiment that rules mankind;
but that is not sufficient reason
for putting upon the statute
book the law of vengeance, or for
governments to delegate to indi
viduals the righting of wrongs
against them and society. If the
law-makers of the prairie state are
so solicitous to throw new safe
guards about womanly virtue,
they can find more reason for
visiting death upon the seducer,
after trial and conviction accord
ing to judicial methods. 1-Ct the
law recognize the crime, but let it
not make every man the judge of
its commission, nor place at the
mercy of any woman the life
of any man, until he can be
legally heard in his own defense.
Any other rule looks back to sav
agery. Queen Victoria will be sixty
eight years old on the JMth of
May next, and will celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of her acces
sion to the thi one on the 20th of
June. Should she die to-day but
three of her predecessors would
have reigned longer than she. The
longest reign in the history of
England is that of her grandfather,
George III. It lasted fifty-nine
years. He ascended the throne in
1760 and died in 1820. Henry
III, who died in 1272, reigned fif
ty-six years. Edward IIT, in the
next century, reigned fifty years.
The longest reign previous to the
present is that of Elizabeth, which
lasted forty-four years, ner age
was a remarkable one. Intellect
ually there is none more so in the
world's record, but as for material
growth England has never known
such an era as that of Victoria.
Nor has there been a peaceful
reign wherein there has been such
a marked political advancement.
It is as eason for democracy to
celebrate rather than monarchy.
The aristocracy had virtually all
the power when it began. Now
the scepter is practically in the
hands of the people.

"I was snowed in once at Bristol,
a little station on the Northern Pa
cific," said a man from Cincinnati.
"It was in the winter of 1885. We
were there for about five days. "We
had plenty to eat, such as it was, but
were all anxious to get something to
read. The large majority of passen
gers on the train were men, and we
all wanted a late daily paper, but we
could not get it for love nor money.
"There was a little weekly paper
published in Bristol, and it tried to
fill the want. The first day of the
snow blockade the weekly paper was
issued and nearly every one on the
train took one. I suppose the paper
had a larger circulation than it has
had since or ever had before. The
editor, proprietor and reporter, all in
one, was a wide awake fellow. He
saw that there was a demand for a
daily paper, so he got out one every
day during our stay. He came down
and got our names and resi
dences and published them. This,
of course, made the paper sell. The
next day he got something of our
Tiistories and wrote them up. The
next 'day he wrote up how we passed
the time. By this time he had ex
hausted all his white paper."
"He didn't" give up. Not much.
You don't find a newspaper man in
the northwest that will give up for
such little trifles as that. He went
out and got some brown paper, used
in tying up bundles at the grocery
store, and printed his edition on that
He got all the brown paper and wrap
ping paper in town, and then he went
for the wall paper and printed his
last edition on that. We bought them
every day, more as little sauvenirs of
the snow blockade than for anything
else, although I think I read every
thing that was printed, from a recipe
on cookies to the legal notices."
