Fifty year tt-jo, before the steam engine had reached its present stage of development, water power had ' gn at value and the cascade of our streams were certain to be centers of industrial pnpualtlon, tut as the steam engine was perfumed, and trans. portatiou Hue were built It waa found that the water rowers are off the line of communication, aud their vuluo and importance shrunk. Hail road are built through tbe passes and over tbe low'and while the water powers are among the hills. Manufacturing centers are now locat ed with reference to transportation iacilltieH where raw material ran bo readily assembled and finished pro duels speedily and economically put on the market. If natural power Is not there it Is artificially created by use of ttteaia engine. There' are exceptions, Minneapolis, Oregon City and others, which proves the rule. Out tbe pendulum Is swinging back again, not dragging towns with it, but euhaucing the Importance and value of water powers. This is done by Installing great electrical power plants and sending the power on sleiider wires to the railroad cross ing where the Industrial centers are located. Steam that a few years ago seemed to he king now divides that honor with electricity, and the fac tory may now be built In the moat convenient place and tbe power carried to it from tbe station that may be in the hills a score of miles away. Capitalists are now hunting the water-ways for opportunities to install dyuanioos, and water-powers will become more valuable ten years hence than they were ten years ago. College professors of physics even years ago were fond of saying that electricity is energy Hint appears at one place as light, at another as pow er and at a thitd as heat. Already we have ways of controlling the manifestations so as to produce light uud power, and now the problem is to commercially change it to heat. Already this has been dona in the laboratory and concentrated in the farnace. It temalus to devise un appliance that will recieve an electri cal current and change it to heat that will warm our tftlces and parlors. Then man will be to some extent Independent of coal bauksand forests of timber. The sun-hat evaporates water and sends it to the hills will warm us and rook our food. TIIK ANULO-UKRUAN ALLUDE. . In many respects the sudden devel opment of Joint action by the navies of (lerinany aud England has less significance for America than for oth er continents. It is not to be suppos. eJ that the combination has been formed to bully the United States or to ipuestiou radically any Internation al principle heretofoie avowed aud Inflexibly supported by this country. We have within striking distance of Vmnv.ueU a far more powerful At than any that could be quickly as semhlcd by Oermauy and England. There is no occasion for these two nations to quarrel with the United States, a conflict with which would cost billions, and unsettle, the caco and commerce of the world to. an enormous exteut. If Germany and Eugland wish to bruuch out in coloni sation, Africa presents for them a far better field than South America, Africa is an unwritten pago in civil izition and England and Germany are the dominant powers in that con tinent. Tho United States ha no claims to assert in regard to the parti tion of Africa.. England is busy opening a belt of communication from the cape to Cairo, and in South Africa is disposed to make an am icatilo division with Germany in the regions as yet unsettled by the white race. England's present American poss essions are of no marked advantage to it. As a matter of profit and con venience; Canada buys more from us than from Englrnd, though the goods of the latter are admltteJ at a larilf reduction ol one-thiid. Islands like Jamaica, outside of their naval use, aie an annoyance and financial drain. Canada Is practically indefensible along its long land line. Englaud is putting an Immense amount of money Into Egypt, and' tho recent war at the other extremity of Africa emt it an enormous sum. These facts ' indicate .that England has no desire t') go also Into an exploitation of Mouth America. An Intention of t iint kind Would not be pursued by tiie seizure of a tl et anl bombard ment of a firt. Such acts are held lu bitter remembrance. The South Atnerlcaus, with all their faults as I professional revolutionists, have a spirit that could not hn overriden by foreign colonizing schemes based on force. Ia thecourseof time it will probab ly appear that the Angto-Cleruiun combination has a deeper bearing on Europe and Asia than on America. England is looking to the Nile for vast agricultural results. It proposes to be the real waster of the Mediter ranean, and is willing to accept Ger many as a partner. Tbe problem of Tm key and "the Dardanelles is yet to Iw settled. Recently France, with ltussia in ,the background, put con siderable pressure on Turkey tou :li lug some old financial debts, t The precedent set In Veneluela Is of de cided interest to the sultan. The family ties between King Edward aud Emperor William are close, and though the Eiglisb J and Germans growl at each other, they get together on occasion, as at tbo battle of Waterloo. In a short time, it may be assumed, the newly Jdesclosed al liance will bo seen to have other and larger objectives than collecting a few million dollars from a little South American nation. Globe-Democrat. A CHOKE OK PARTY. Tho result of the vote for United States senator in the election last June, shows, simply, that a large majority of the people of Oregon prefer a republican, to a democrat to succeed Senator Simon. If voters had been asked to indicate their choice between a republican and a democrat, and no Indivdual had ap peared to represent either of these parties on tho ballot, the result would have shown that there was a preference for a republican by a majority of at least 12,000. As it was, republican had no choice be tween republican?; democrats had no choice between decorucrats. The estimable gentleman who houored himself by getting on the ballot as the representative of "the grand old party," should not lay tho flittering unction to his soul that republicans are so overwhelmingly for him, as they are for the party for which he asks hi 4 favors. Corvallis Ga.otte. This is a very pretty plea for I'hilip" pine welfare, formulated by the House Democrats, who doclare. their purpose to vote for 2i per cent of the Dingley rates if they can't get froo trade. Their pious professions are wholly discredited by tho fact that In tho closing hours of the last session ten months ago, they stubbornly refused to co operate in exactly such a com promise measure of beneficence. The earnest efforts of Mitchell aud Foraker iu the Senate and by Rep resentative Tongue and others iu tho Hoase, to reduco the 75 per cent duty finally enacted to some reasonable figure were bitterly resisted by tho Democrats of both bouses, for no other than the unworthy purpose, frankly assu ned, of putting tho Republicans in as deep a hole as possible. As the bill would be oppressive anyhow, the worse it was the better it would suit them. Tbe more votes they would get in last November's elections. When these same patriots come into the court of public opinion now, therefore, und exploit their hib and disinterested patriotism, we shall do them the honor to believe nothing tbey say. It i disconcerting to see tho alleged opposition constituted of such ig noble material. Oregon has reason to be proud of the fact that Senator Mitchell and Representative Tongue are in the forefront of battle for liber al treatment of . Philippine trade. Their best efforts will be directed to stimulate and cucourage develop, ment of trans-I'aciflo commerce and to aid the beneficent purposes of the Administration, the while that Ad ministration exerts itself reciprocally to kill the commerce ot Oregon by shipping its Philippine supplies from Seattle and Sin Francisco. M ire laborers are needed in the llawaian Islands and the planters ask for a suspension of the Chinese exclusion act. The Washington ad ministration opposes this and It Is probablo that no more Chinese will be admitted Instead of Chinamen, Mr. Fortune, special tabor commis sioner now in Honolulu, suggests tbat the number of laborars may be aug mented by taking Negroes from the Southern States, He estimates that 10,000 may is; colonized there in six months. Field bands could be taken from Louisiana who are familiar with handling sugar cane, -ami they ought to bfl more desirable help than the Chinese. The Monroe Doctrine is so idea not to be submitted to arbitration. Neither thn Hague tribunal, nor President R sisevelt himself cm sit in judgment nit the doctrine. It is a UPtion of our own dirlnration. Venrz'iela did not formulate it. England and Germany did not for mulate it. When England and Ger many went to war with Vein r.uela it was to collect money not to break the law. When that is attempted the United Slates will fight. Marconi the celebrated Italian la ventor who has been at work on a wireless telegraph fur the pa', five or six years has so far succeeded that he can send message across the Atlantic Ocean. Un the 2 2d tbstant messages were exchanged between the Gover uor of Canada at Halifax, and King Edward, the message telng put on the land wire at Cornwall England. The employesof the Marconi System have been exchanging messags for a week. It la estimjtJd tint the wire less aparatua will be able to handle 10OO words per hour. Tho speed on land wires it greater than this but across the ocean' through the cable uiul-Ii less speed la made. By tbe new ?yl em there is no expense for wires or cable; but tho Instruments are quite complicated and a steam engine or some other method of developing puwrr has to be used, and while the exinMispof establishing stations may be less than when tbey are connected by wire, yet moue will be needed to build the plant. President Rootevelt ought not to arbitrate the dillero ces botween Venezuela and England aud Gar many. President R'josevelt objects to serving for tbo reason he would not only tie judge and jury, but con- stable. He would probably have to Anforce his own decree, which would not be pleasant. There is another reason why our Chief Executive should not be arbitrator. We are an interested party. Our interest la that Venezuela shall lose no territory It is Just possible that Germany may have had that fact in mind when the Klztr suggested IlioseveU. He may have thought we would pay the bill rather than permit a slice ol territory to be giveu to Germany. If tier many, Eugland and Italy had any heart lu creating the Hague Arbitra tion Trlbuual, this matter should go there for trial. If it does not then Russia ia mucked, and the Hague court Is dissolved. Tl e tribunal was created by a treaty at which all tbe powers of Europe and the United States was represented. The court is tion-paitisan, that is, it is not Eng. lisb, German, trench, Russian or American. All the nations are pledged to abide by its findings and morally eu force its decrees. Thi re ia where this dispute should go. UH'OKTANCK OF I HE ULAI) HAND. It is uo unusual thing to hear tbe remark made that Portland eople make very little attempt to giving tho glad band to the multitude Of people who am coming to Oregon, while on tho other hand the people of Seattle aro ever ready to drop busi ness, if necessary, and talk for Seattle and tbe whole etate of Washington, and iuake the newcomer feel that he is among friends, and tbat he Is really wanted as a boniebuildur. It ia one thing to advertise our country and ask people to come to us, aud it is another thing to meet them pleas auUy and make tbem feel that they are really wanted when tbey come; for, to the most desirable element of those who are seeking for new homes it means about as much to know tbe kind of people they are to be thrown among as it is to know the quality of the soil they are to cultivate. Tbe whole state of Oregon needs an awak ening along the line suggested, aud it Is possible that Newberg needs It as much as many other places named on the tamps. Steer the strenger clear of the dyspeptic and the growler and Introduce him to the' man who will "scatter sunshine" an ho talks for Oregon. Newberg Graphic. Acting upon the accepted belief that six Is just the, same as a half dozen, a Benton county man Is sug gesting that then be a horizontal raise in the assessment of proerty In his county. His argument is (hie: State taies are no longer figured on a basis of county valuation, and a raise would make no difference In the amount of taxes on that score. But It would make a mighty differ ence otherwise. New comers aro ar riving. One of the first questions they ask is. what is your tax levy. Tell them it Is 12 mills for county purposes and they nearly fall dead. Tell them it Is six mills, and they smile sweetly, and begin to look for land to buy. They find It, buy it and settle among us." Again, -one of these new comers is asked $2,000 for a piece or land. lie goes to the court house and finds that it is only assessed at may tie 3 CO. He begins at once to get scared. He thinks he is asked too much for the land'. .He figures it nut that he is being Jobbed and perhaps hurries nut of the country. Now a raise In the valua tion would lie equitable to all, II made horizontally, that is propor tionately. It would lower the tax levy and each taxpayer would have to pay as nuny dollars and no more, a i-i fere. lU'isirtcr. It was expected tbat the cable ship laying the telegraph cable between San Francisco and Honolulu would reach the leterclty today. Daily message have beeu sent from the ship to San Francisco, bene It is cer tainly known what progreM Is making. t HIS ASAMAItkKT. Consul If. B. Miller ha written the following letter to Food and Itairy ConiaiisHumer Bailey relative to the opportunities for marketing our dairy product In the Orient. Tbe letter la published ia Com. Baileys anuual report. J. W. Bailey, State lalry and Food Commissioner Dear Sir: Con cerning the markets for the dairy products in the Orient, I beg to advise you that there has been a constant increase in tbe consumption of butter both la China and Japan. Butter and cue e to the amouut of 298,000 pounds were Imported Into China in 1001. This was an increase of over 70 K?r cent on the previous year, The enlarged consumption of these articles Indicates a growth that will make the consumption by 1905 at least double tho present quantity. The increased passenger travel on the Pacific Ocean is also enlarging the Pacific Coast market for butter and cheese to a marked degree. The demand for butter and cheese In Japan Is also i rowing, and will continue to increase. The most remarkable growth In both of these countries in consumption of dairy products, however, is coudens. ed milk. Butter is consumed largely by foreigners, but tbo natives are tak ing a fancy to tinned milk of the sweetened kind, and It can tie found in the native stores as far as our cotton goods penetrate, aud much farther into the Interior than our flour goes, This milk is growing In favor because it is being looked upon aa medicine for the sick and health food for child ren, and It Is also believed that it has power to revive vitality and give tho forces of youth to old age. The growth of this sentiment throughout both Japan and China is so great that tbe supply of this sweetend milk is constantly far below the demand. The exteuslve development of Irregation that is cow coming Into Oregon, the tremendous Increase in the production of the best milk pro ducing plant, alfalfa, demand that tepa be taken by tbe .people of this state to enter the Oriental market with milk, butler and cheese. This country- hue belter communi cation by steamer, a better climate and cooler waiters to ship through, and shorter time iu reaching consum ers than any of its competitors, and there soems to be no reason why It cannot command the trade. The merchauts of- tho Orient are anxious to make connections with manufac turers of these products here and arrange for monthly shipments. An agent established an Kobe, Japan, who would make annual trips to the principal places in Japan and China, study the wants of the trade and have tbe factions here conform to their wants, could command the trade and make it permanently tributary to this coast. Very truly yours, H. B. Mill kb. Consul, China. REAL ESTATE."

Two diametrically opposite elToi ts. will be made during the next two months In discussing the trust leglala tion before Congress and recommend ed by the President. On one side It will be traateil as drastic by those who wish to seo the trusts crippled. Un the other side it will le minimized by those who want the least possible done. Neither will be right. The prob lem is simple. Under trusts, manu factures have outgrown state lines. When hanks outgrew btate lines the nalioual banking act ' was passtd. When railroads outgrew stste lines tbe Interstate Commerce act was passed. To-day trusts uetd regulation in the same way and for the same rea son. This regulation is coming. It is not destructive, It is constructive. It lass much of a mistake for those opposed to trusts to think they are going to be proscribed as for those favoring trusts to give out inspired utterances that tbe legislation will be innocuous.' Regulation, publicity and the pre vention of special privileges or over capitalisation will be preventer1 . Less would be insufficient. More would be unnessary. Philadelphia "Press."
