Suppose it- would cost half a mil lion, or even a million dollnrs to make the Wlllamotte river navigable to Eugene, it would be the wisest ex . penditure of public money ever made in Oregon. It would emancipate the Willamette valley from Portland to its headwaters from monopolistic railroad control, and solve for all time the vexatious problems of equit able freight rates and car shortage. Whnt the Erie canal did for the Em pire State and New York City, such an open waterway would do for Ore gon and the city of Portland. Every town in the valley would be benefited by the wonderful development of a great area of territory whose re sources ure as yet scarcely realized. It should not be such a difficult matter for the Oregon delegation to hoc u re am appropriation of half a mil lion dollars for this purpose, If back ed up by the Commercial Clubs of the valley cities, the Portland Chamber of Comnierco and a united and enthu siastic press. An open river from the Columbia river to the foot of the Calapoolu mountains would pluce the world's markets at the door of our farms and orchards, our factories and lumber mlllu. It would mean the realization of ull the hopes of those who are working for a Greater Ore gon and Oregon with a million busy, prosperous and contented peo ple. s A measure that will, In all proba bility, cause considerable discussion In congress Is the agricultural appro priation bill. It Is generally conceit ed that the agricultural committee of the house will again omit from the hill the item appropriating (242,000 for the purchusc and distribution of common garden seeds. Tho comniit teo omitted the Item at the last ses sion, but it was reinserted by the house, after nn animated discussion. Since the close of the lust session nonrly every organization of farmers throughout the entire country has passed resolutions condemning the system and calling upon congress to refuse to further appropriate money for the free , distribution of seeds. ' Hundreds of such resolutions are nuw in the hands of the committee, and many others will be presented at the hearing to be given by the committee on the 12th Inst. For years the dally press has becla almost unanimous In ridiculing this free distribution, and tho agricultural press has been equally unanimous In expressing con demnation, but congress has clung to tho prize pneknges with grim deter mination. It Is safe, however, to now prophesy that the end has come to this pitiful graft of congressmen. Pcoplo who are Indignant at the discharge of threo companies of col ored soldiers might as well And out how the mon foci about It. The youngor ones are reported to bo quite contont to got out of the army, and a Texas planter Is offering good Jobs to all but a doson of them. Wonder what nation Teddy had In m Hid when he wrote: "A justwar Is In the long run far better for a na tion's soul than the most prosperous peace obtained by acqulcseeu'-e In wrong or Injustice." From published portraits of Ida Tarbell It Is assumed that her siege debut will not be made In tights, and the opinion is ventured that she will not be troubled with "mash" notes The wealth of the United States Is now estimated at $106,000,000,"00, but Mr. Rockefeller Is not as old as he looks without his wig, and he may get it all yet. Trusts may shut off credit, now that It has been legally decided that they cannot use the courts to collect debts. According to a court decision the wall paper trust is entitled to the head of the trust class. Humor and Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH JUST OCCASIONALLY. It's all rtphl, Uttlo ones, to work. This truth Is very true, And more especially If you Have nothing elite to do. When fishes are not biting hard And plover can't be shot, If there Is work that you may do, Yoji might? as well as not. Yes, work Is useful In a way. For man must eat and drink, And to secure such needful things You have to have some chink, r And lightly dabbling will not Occasion much distress, Though some there are who make the thing A business more or less. It's better not to overdo This working game a bit. Perhaps the habit you might get. And then you couldn't quit. It Is a most distressing thing And rnd, you must allow, To have a chunce to take a rest - And really not know how. You rend about the Joy of work It's nice to road about But when you call around tho Joy Is nenrly always out. But still n littlo will not hurt; With safety wo may say That you can work quite leisurely A half an hour a day. Paid For Something. kxhe stouk had 1 .. "How Is the little one the Btork left at your homo?" "The stork, eh? I thought It was the doctor, Judging from the 'wiiy he charged." 1 ; England Is Proud of the United States By Sir HENRY MORTIMER. DURAND, British Amhanador at Washinfton CLASSIFIED I EARNESTLY-- assure all Americans Englishmen need no such assurance that there is on our side NOTHING BUT GOOD WILL toward the United States. As I said when speaking on tho- subject at Washington a year or two ago, the feeling is strong in every class of our nation. The king has shown it consistently. The Uritish aristocracy has shown it in a very PRACTICAL manner. A not inconsi.dorablo part of the rising generation has American blood in its veins, and if tilings go on as they are doing it really looks as if we should see before long tho British people equipped with an American nobility. As to the mass of our people, they are and I believe ALWAYS HAVE BEEN well dis posed to America. We have had our fraternal quarrels, but nevertheless the GEN ERAL feeling on the English side has on the wholo been ono of good will throughout. It has been well said by one of the distinguished men who represent Massachusetts in tho senate that friendship between the two nations is NATURAL, not only by the common speech, hopes, beliefs and ideals, but by tho much-stronger ties of real inter ests, while enmity is unnatural and CAN BE CREATED ONLY BY EFFORT. '. When I was an ambassador in Europe I used to hear a great deal about what was called the Anglo-Saxon league. It seemed to be a fixed idea in tho m'nds of many people that continental Europe was threatened by a great danger, the danger of an alliance between Amer ica and England. Well, I do not mind saying that no such alliance exists OR IS CONTEMPLATED. The United States is quite strong enough to take care of itself, and so assuredly is the British empire. It has been generally believed on this side of the water, and no& without reason, that at the time of the Revolution England was the bitter enemy of America. Trevclyan in his history of the American Revolution shows that tho war was regarded as a civil war AND WAS THOROUGHLY UNPOPULAR. - Whatever might be thought of the arguments by which tho government upheld, its right to tax the colonists, and on that matter there was room for differences of opinion, the ENGLISH PEOPLE did not wish to enforce tho claim- by war. Among English statesmen of that period the first three names were those of Pitt, Fox and Burke. ALL THREE OPPOSED THE WAR TO THE UTMOST. I cm ii only say again that there is nothing but good will in England toward tho United States. Tlicro is something more even than good will. There is a feeling of kinship and of PRIDE- IN OUR KIN SHIP; We are proud first of tho British. flag ami. of,tho ifree nations that gather around it. Their interests are our interests, and their people are our people. BUT WE ARE PROUD, TOO, NOT ENVIOUS, OF THIU GREAT COUNTRY PROUD, HEARTILY PROUD, OF THE STARS ANO STRIPES. v Practical Revolutionists. It appears that some of the Cuban patriots who organized the lute un luiiicntcl revolution were busy saving the country wilh their left baud while looking out for themselves with their good riclit hand. When n shuible silver from -Uncle Sinn's IiIk stick went over to tho Island unit tnlkt'il to the revolution like li Dub'h uncle, telling If to run home If It did not want to net Its face punched and Its teeth knocked out, '.lie Indi vidual lighters took the hint and also n sneak, but they didn't go on foot, ns Ihcy were kindly allowed to retain and rhle oft' such horses as they had stolon, j SMOKERS KNOW We have a reputation with lovers of tobacco for the line smoking quali ties our goods have.
