OUR PREMIUM OFFERS Notwithstanding that the Guard has been enlarged and the cost of publication materially increased the Guard Printing Co. makes a special offer to every new or old subscriber. All who will pay one year in advance for the Weekly Guard at only $1.50 a year will be given their choice of the Twice-a-week St. Louis Repub lic or the "Oregon Agriculturalist,” absolutely free for one year. The Republic is one of the largest and best family papers in America and the "Oregon Agriculturist” is one of the best and most practical farm, fruit and stock papers In the West. Subscribers, old or new, may take their choice of either paper as a pre mium. Those who failed to get the prom ised premium magazines will be giv en their choice of either of these pa pers in place of the magazines with out. further cost by sending their names and addresses to this office. So far we have been unable to com pel the Eastern publishers to keep their agreement in regard to the magazines, and feel the disappoint ment as keenly as our subscribers. The YVeekly Guard is still clubbed with the Semi-Weekly Oregon Jour nal, at $2.25 a year for both papers.

The op position has veiled Its attack by rais ins a newspaper discussion over the question of whether the governor should appoint or the leglslaure elect, a shrewd move that will give opponents of the measure an oppor tunity to oppose it on some extrane ous ground. Other salutary legislation for which the development clubs of the state have been working for the past two years will probably fail of en- actment, and when the leglslators adjourn at the end of the forty days’ session Oregon will still remain in the grasp of the corporations who are stifling its Industries and robbing its people on every hand. GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION. The United States geological sur vey has just issued a press bulletin regarding the production of gold and silver during the year 1905. The author of the report is Mr. The figures Waldemar Lingren. showing the production of gold and silver, in approximate distribution by states and territories, are the result of conference and adjustment be tween the geological survey and the bureau of the mint, and are accepted as final by two bureaus. The total production of gold was 4,265,7 42 fine ounces, valued at $88,180,700; the total production of silver was 56,101,600 fine ounces, valued at $34,221,976, making an entire total ifornia, produced the remainder, or to be eliminated, and the county' WHAT IS THERE LEFT OF RE PVBLICAN1S.M? business will be transacted by a com- [ 1364,900.

Everything this year is crowd ed to the utmost with an enrollment of 350, and there are good reasons for believing that next year there will be not less than 500 students in attendance If provisions are made to properly care for them. A state should take a pride in its university, and nearly every one does, so that this growth should be a soti'Ce of satisfaction to every loyal Orego nian.

Many good men of fair abil ity have become presidents, but the country seems to doubt the wisdom of putting its really brilliant men in the executive chair, and Bryan is likely to find this handicap too great to be overcome. A blizzard, accompanied by severe cold weather, has swept over all Western Europe. Root, the American secretary of state, is visiting Montreal. The University of Oregon asks an appropriation of $125,000 from the legislature. Mox Mox, nephew of Peo Mox Mox, and a descendant of old Chief Joseph, of the Nez Perce Indians, is dead at Lewiston, Idaho. He was one of the best educa ted Indians in the United States. Russia has decided to borrow $25,- 000,000 to relieve the famine in cer tain districts of that country. deliberately taken up and put into office every one of the free ■ silver leaders, what right has any of the machine to declare that the Capital I Journal is not sound in its Repub- llcanism? When Mr. Bryan In every speech eulogizes President Roosevelt for car rying out the programs of the Dem ocracy, what is there left to tight about in the name of the party? The people want results any way they can get ’em. The present legislature has made a number of efforts to adopt reform programs, The Republican city council has enacted one after another of the demands of the Prohibition- ists. It is no longer possible to read the riot act to a newspaper or to a public man because he accomplishes results that were taken bodily from the platforms of the reform party. The Republican party in Oregon has badly needed :o get some traits of reform and some elements of char acter into its makeup. It has quite enough of the bad reputation style of leadership. The people of Oregon have rebuk ed this rotten leadership by twice electing a Democratic governor, and it Is folly for the machine to cry out that I independents and reformers should I get out of the party. The only excuse for the existence of the Republican party in this state is that it is a convenient organization for the people to act. through. They know that they will get very few reforms that are not extorted from the politicians and office-hold ers at the point of the bayonet, and so far as this paper is concerned it will hammer away at reforms and get them L- any old way, so long as they are enacted.
