THURSDAY DECEMBER 13
FOR AX OPEN WATERWAY.
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

the opinion is ventured that she will

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.

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

attention. Hundreds of people have

is that we secured the real "snap"
