THURSDAY,
Clouding The Issues.
Tho whole intPier-t in rt.-ite politics is being centered on the desper
ate efforts of the old pH nr politicians to regain control of the Repub
lican party. Inspired by the notorious Jack Matthews, and backed by
the Bell telephone monopoly, the Southern Pacific railroad and the
big timber barons, the Ilodflon-Bailey-Beach combine is sparing no
means to accomplish their end to deprive the voters in the llepub.
licnn party from it voice in the direction and policy of the party.
This flight forced on Republicans in Ihe ranks for their rijjht to
stay in the party, has pushed to the rear every issue of men and meas
ures within the party and will probably result in the election of a
Democratic United States senator. Thin will be charged to the direct
primai y by the corrupt ging politicians, but the fault will be wholly
theiisnnd the Oregonian's.
The Republicans haven't a fair chance to learn of the respective
merits of theircandidates. Mr. Cake is an out-and-out Statement" No.
1 man, but Senator Fulton is handicapi ed by the influence and money
of the Jack Matthews gang, who even
him down at the polls. Fulton knows that but is between the devil
and tho deep blue sea and knoweth not which way to turn.
Oregon Democrats are in clover. , They have only one candidate
for President, and only onb for United States senator.
There are three Republican aspirants for Congress from the second
district. One is an unkr own, Geer is opposed to the people having a
say in the control of the party, so it seems that Ellis will have a walk
away for the nomination.
The Portland Commercial club
Cornell University, author of a geography now very generally used in
scnoois inrougnout tne united mates,
ing special attention to the development of Oregon and Washington.
The Portland club claims to have furnished Professor Tarr "very com
plete data on Oregon, together with a number of thorough'y represen
tative pictures." Professor Tarr is still asking for photographs of 9e
cific subjects. It it fafe to assume that he has not been furnished with
photographs of Eagle Cap, "the highest mountain in Oregon," or
pictures of the lakes, peaks it ml glaciers in the Wallowa mountains,
the most beautiful tcenery in Oregon. It is Bate to assume that for
Portland does not know about them.

In the monthly bulletin of the
Wallowa county is classed among
inactivity of the county board and failure to compel compliance with
the law, practically nothing has been done," in the report of vital sta
tistics, births, deaths and contagious diseases. During last December
the report shows eight births, one death and seven marriages in this
county; no cases of tuberculosis, typhoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet fever,
measles or other infectious diseases, except smallpox, of which there
were five i uses and no deaths.
There is a greater tubIi of eastern people Oregon-ward this spring
than ever liefore. The traveling passenger agent of the O. R. & N. eays
all indications are for larger travel over that line this month and next
than ever before. Inquiries are more numerous both from homeseekers
and eas ern ticket agencies, Tho dispositi on is to seek the smaller
towns, mi l the majority of those looking for country places intend to
enter fruit growing or dairying, two industries especially attractive and
profitable in this county. This county ia shut off in a large measure
from these settlers because of no railroad facilities.
No section of the Union surpasses the Pacific Northwest in the
excellence of its public schools, and Oregon communities are manifest
ing their interest in the State University by urging upon the state the
most liberal appropriations for the maintenance of this institut'on in
a way that will enable it to reach its highest efficiency. This was the
meat of a resolution adopted by the Portland Commercial club recently.
Public bodies throughout the Northwest appreciate that institutions of
higher learning are a factor of the greatest importance to Eastern
people who contemplate making their homes here.
Frost is out of the ground and plowing in progress in many parts
of Wallowa county. No one is wondering if the season will be '-favorable."
Seasons are always favorable in Wallowa; there ure no lean
years though some are falter than others.

HARRIMAN OPPORTUNITY.
. Editorial in Portland Journal
A Wallowa county paper, (The I
News Record V. mentioning thei
fact that 8000 hogs had been sold
out of Wallowa Valley during the
at four months, added that when
the railroad wits completed through
ihe valley a projected there would
lie four times as many hog raised ,
there. And this is all the more
prnlmUe m account of the great
Hi king J lants to be built in Port-
land.
; This one instance illustrates Ihe
need of the completion of that long
promised and long deterred rail
road. Other products would in
crease in volume and value also;
population and taxable property
would increase; the railroad would
benefit greatly not only that region
but Portland as well And there
can be no doubt that the road
Would be very profitable. Yet Mr.
Harriman will neither build that
road nor permit anyone else, to
build one there.
The establishment of these pack
ing plants here will give a big
boom to Die hog raising industry
in the Oregon country. In several
of the counties of eastern Oregon,
especially; farmers are contemplat
ing the raising of more hogs
When grain is very high hogs
might not be profitable, but it has
been demonstrate! by. some farm
ers that it pays, at the price ling
have been lately, to feed even 75
cent wheat to them. And those
packing house will make an un
limited market for all the hogr1
that can he raised.
