There are persons who a vance argument to the effect that the millennial reitni has a ready begun, but they will have to put up some very convincing argument in the face of events that are taking place in diverse places. On Saturday morning, shortly after one o'clock the Los Angeles Times, published at Los Angeles, California, was blown up and some twenty lives sacrificed in the loss, the build ing being destroved by the ex plosion and fire which followed, while their were others who re ceived injuries and burns in es caping. If such events belong to the millennial period we have little or no conception of peace. As the , Los Angeles Times was a strenuous lighter of La bor Unions, orgatizutions of that nature will doubtless come in for a large share of blame and suspicion, but outside if rea evidence, suspicion mavbe wrongly directed, as it is but a fool who will commit a deed that is almost sure to be laid at his door, and labor unions have more to lose by such acts than they could possibly gnin by the destruction of- the 'plan t.. The Prairie City Miner says that fruit is rotting by the ton 1 f . A , 1 .1 in v j rani county and the same is true of this part of Oregon, and perhaps in other places. The fruit traffic is an enigmati cal proposition; if you live in the country and have apples to dispose of the price is frequently an unknown quantity and the country merchant shipping even from here to Portland has been known to lose money on choice apples, but during the same season apples in Portland that were mneh inferior in quality cost the consumer one dollar and fifty cents a box. There seems to be something wrong somewhere when good apples rot under the trees and inferior ones are costing the consumer one dollar and fifty cents a bush el, only seventy miles away, and perhaps the consumption far be low what it would otherwise be, and all because of conditioi that have obtained through natural causes. is ini- ' The 'conquest of the air is be ing accomplished to a certain extent and in Switzerland Cha vez succeeded in crossing the Alps in his airship, but lost his life and suffered the destruction of his ship in the act.

The Herald is not adverse to woman's suffrage, but looks upon any attempt to make property a basis for suf frage as a dangerous experi ment and one to be avoided. Property lias all the protection necessary to its preservation, but, suppose that an entering wedge of that nature be once in jected into our political affairs and how long will it be unti property owners will be wanting representation in proportion to the amount of their holdings. Under such arrangements large corporations would never get through watering their stock in reaching out to control legisla tion favorable to their business interests. Vote it down. ' One of the measures propose and to be voted upon at the com ing election is the proposed Act to provide for a constitutional convention to make a eeneral revision of the constitution of the State- of Oregon. In the in itiative we already have provis ion for making any change that may be needful and measures to come up under its provision will :e studied much more closely than would be the case if the whole constitution was revised. lence we have all the leverage that is necessarv for such hange, besides, there is no guessing as to what extremes such congress might go if it were once commissioned. The Ikrald is against said measure. The football season is on, and by the way, the rules have been revised to eliminate the danger ntlierto accompaning that popu- ur sport. A summary of Satur ay's games in the Eastern part of the United States reports one ad and a score of other per sons injured. This reminds us of the first Peace Commission- he assembly had hardly ad- oumed until some of the na tions represented were at war. he new rules should be popular the beginning is very pro nounced. as New Orleans Worried New Orleans is greatly dis tressed over a recent paragraph in the ban Francisco Chronicle in which it was stated that 200.000 strangers had been housed and fed during the Portolo festival. Commenting on this statement the New Orleans Picayune raises its voice in a wail of stupid doubt and protest as follows: "The census of 1850 gave San rancisco something less than 343,000. The new census mav reach 400,000. The idea thatanv city has enough hotels and vacant houses to shelter, in addition to its present population, a nearly equal number of pepple is pre posterous -in the extreme, but if it be a fact as to the California city it makes it a monstrosity. " Keplying to the Picavurie t.hP Chronicle says editorially: 1 he figures given of the Por- tola visitation were had from the railroads, and the.v are correct- but New Orleans, beine unused to hotel resources which are more or less common to Western cities in the route of t jurist travel, may perhaps be pardoned for its sken- ticism. Should it ever find itself apopula'r place of tourist resort and the commercial metronolis of several states and territories, , it would, perhaps, understand how, and why, things are done here TBa IS NOW ON Get Wise Lindsay & Co. (Incorporated) Monmouth, Oregon on a big scale. "From the opening of theover- and railway San Francisco has been obliged to provide for an immense mobile population; and today it stands second to New York only in the amplitude of its accomodations for strangers. It is the sign of growing1 des peration of New Orleans that it goes so far in the effort to mis represent San Francisco, but as the appeal is to Congress, thp members of which body have su perior facilities for knowing facts, the result, cm nnlvmiKtao vjr x w VLV against the unfair side.'1 Zook, the paper hanger will do your painting. 4 Church Directory.
