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

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.

One of the measures to be
(voted upon in November is The
Voman,s Tax-paying Suffrage
Amendment. 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.

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

"From the opening of theover-

been obliged to provide for an

today it stands second to New
York only in the amplitude of its
accomodations for strangers.
