The temporary enjoyment of a discriminating freight rate may enable the Minneapolis millers to get into the oriental trade, but if 200,000 bags “ swamps” them, they had better stay out. This amount would not make an average shipload from Port­ land.— McMinnville News Reporter. We read this same ite m 'in the editorial columns of the Oregonian a few days ago, and to be sure, it sounds rather whalish to one who knows no better. But it is really absurd to those who do know better to think the Ore­ gonian would notice the irresponsible correspondent who doesn’t know the difference between “ fairly swamped” and an average daily run for Minne­ apolis mills. “ Buffalo Bill” was denied a divorce from his wife by Judge Scott, in the NEWS FROM THE Wyoming Court last week. 1 OUR SPRING OPENING Makes this store one of the most attractive in this locality in point of excellence, of mer­ chandise, satisfactory prices, beauty of display and courteous treatment of visitors, whether customers or not. || And its acomplishment is evidenced in every line of this opening announcement.

Before the smoke of the inauguration of President Roosevelt, has fairly cleared away, candidates are being trotted out for the presidency. There’s nothing like being the early bird. A dispatch from Cleveland, O., states that Mrs. Chadwick was sen­ tenced to ten years in the pen, and that she took the sentence coolly. That’s a trait of Mrs. C’s to take things coolly. The Czar is said to have yielded to the inevitable— suing for peace. The Czar like all other sovereigns dislikes to give up, but there has been none so stubborn about it as Nicholas. After the slaughter of nearly 500,000 men— the population of Oregon— we believe it about time to yield. ■ Horace G. Burt, who, it is reported, will be appointed superintendent of the construction of the Panama Canal, is to receive a salary of $100,000 a year. That means, that if it takes ten years to build it, it will cost the U. S. for the superintendent alone, just one million dollars; or $8333.3 3 j per month, $274 per day. We’ll find them a man that’ll do it for half the amount, and guarantee the job. The Oregonian is bound to nomi­ nate Senator Haines for something, even if it isn’t any more than the governorship. Every Monday morn­ ing it trots out a batch of candidates for some state office, and last Monday it was no less a plumb than that of the state treasurer’s office, but next Mon- it will probably be state secretary, and so on down. It is a long time till election, but if the Oregonian keeps up its weekly announcements until then, perhaps it will have found something for the senator, it likes.
