Portland chums a population
of 140,000 and is pushing for the
200.000 mark with an excellent
prospect of reaching it in the near
future.

William Rothwkll, known as
Young Corbett, the prizefighter,
formerly lived at Ifctker City, Or.,
and attended school in that city.
His father, William Rothwell, Sr.,
taught school in Haker City in the
early days. His son docs not

of Rothwell, renior.
And now Hearst has established
another newspaper this one at
IJoston. Mr. Hearst is publishing
some mighty good newspapers, but
his chance of becoming president
of the United States is on a pai

through the eye of an needle. His
name will be well known through

rich and will grow almost any

editor of the Tillamook Herald
mad all over. In his issue of
March 17th, which reached this
office on the sylh, he says: "As
Tillamook City has In-en deprived
of mail for neatly three weeks, it is
alMHtt time for her to sever diplo
matic relations with the outside
world and establish a postal system
of her own. The postal authorit

the mail in by the way ol Sheri

they have lccn up against the

the mail is a closed incident at

Saletn, March 28. Public inter
est centers around the conventions
this week. Democratic primaries
were held last Saturday, but the
county convention will not convene
until week after next. Where the
party is so great a minority one
would suppose that there would be
no bickerings, but there are. Sev
eral incidents are related that seem
laughable to republicans. One
runs this way: A prominent dem
ocrat was met who had "copy" for
the primary tickets. He wanted
them printed but said one or two
names might be changed. 1
want to inquire touching their
democracy. There are some of our
people who have changed their
jxihties recently ami they do not
always notify us. The republicans
are getting our young men. We
are in the minority in the city by
a thousand votes." He spoke the
fact. The republican managers
treat all the young men with con
sidcration: welcome them to their
club rooms where everything is at
tractive. It pays, as is proven
when the votes are counted out of
the ballot box in June. Another
incident is related that took place
in another ward. The le.ders fix
ed up a list of delegates that was
satisfactory to all factions. It was
supposed to be greased and would
go through, but the rank and file
objected to several names and very
quietly began scratching. When
the votes were counted it was dis
covered that the slate had been
broken and that two delegates on
the printed ticket had been beaten.
The defeated delegates are furious
and the party is in a worse fix than
before the compromises had been
mentioned.
The republican primaries are
holding this afternoon and quite a
full vote is going to the polls,
though here are no contests unless
at the counting it shall In; found

President Roosevelt has a habit
of "getting there." Some of the
measures he has recommended to
congress and some of the appoint
ments lie has made have aroused
more than democratic opposition,
but he has met no defeat. When
the 57th congress expired by limi
tation on the 4th of March, 1903,
President Roosevelt convened the
new senate in extraordinary ses
sion to consider two treaties which
had not been ratified during the
short session of the previous con
gress, une was the iiay-itarran
treaty with Colombia and the
other the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
The loimer was confirmed and the
latter also subject to the approval
of congress. Perhaps the oppon
ents of this measure, which was
earnestly recommended both by
President McKiuley and President
Roosevelt, thought that this would
leteat the bill, and a crucial test of
the president's influence came
when the matter finally came le
fore congress.
branches of the new congress in
sjiecial session early in Novem1er
last, and within a week the house
of representatives by an over
whelming majority approved the
Cuban reciprocity treaty. In the
senate it was hung up lor nearly
month but finally passed. Mr
Roosevelt carried his point and re
ciprocity with Cuba is now oiera

The Panama canal treaty, ratifi
ed at Washington, was rejected at
Itogota, and immediately the de

the United States of Colombia
I he president's determined staiui
at that juncture in recognizing the
new republic, requiring Colombia
to keep her hands oft', and in finally
recommending the ratification of
new canai treaty with Panama put
the president to the supreme test.
Opposition in the president's party
vanished and the democrats in the

Mr. Kditor: Permit me to use a
ittle space in The Independent to
mention a matter of importance to
voters. Mr. K. L. McCormick has
been favorably mentioned ax n
robable candidate for nomination
for county clerk of W ashimtnii
o -
county at the republican county
convention to be held in Hillsboro
April 7th.
Mr. McCormick has been a life
long republican, an earnest and
faithful worker for his party and is
a popular man. Should he be
nominated, he w ill add strength to
the ticket and be a" credit to the
party. The republicans cannot
rind a man letter qualified to serve
in the capacity of county clerk,
ami we hope ami trust that the con
vention will favor Mr. McCormick I
with the nomination for clerk.
