Portland, Ore., Nov. 6.— Hun­
dreds of tramps have been dumped
into Portland every day for several
weeks past. Each freight train ar­
riving from the south is loaded with
the hobos, who are so numerous as
to make it impossible for the train
crew to throw them off. This float­
ing element of undesirable citizens
is mobilizing in the Bad Lands, and
Burnside-street corners are crowd
ed of the edge oi the sidewalk with
the unwashed army.
These tramps are coming, for the
most part, from California, where
they now find pickings small. P o rt­
land is their objective, points for
the present, with Seattle the next
stopping place. Scarcely any of
these men aro supplied with money,
the most any of them have is 81
and the usual amount is 25 cents,
which they have begged or stolen.
The tramps are traveling in Bucb
large numbers that when they wish
to move north from town like Rose­
burg, Ashland and way points, they
climb on board the train and stay
there until they reach the city limits
of Portland. One train alone, a few
days ago, arrived from the south
with seventy-five tramps on board.
Against such a gang as this the
handful of trainmen could do noth­
ing, as it was impossible to get ati
them.
Every labor leader is confronted
with tho fact it is easier to start a
strike than to finish it.
Mr. Gas. L igh t is a candidate for
office in Idaho, and it would be a
pity to turn him down.
F ollow in g we give a short expla­
nation called forth by a communi­
cation which appeared in the Ore­
gon Daily Journal of late date which
is self-explanatory, and also appear­
ed that paper:
Mr. Rockefeller hag donated $600.-
000 to the Hacker memorial library,
Where do you suppose he got it?
When“ Juniue the Second,"who ap­
peared in your columns on October
31, with an attack on mutual insur­
ance gets out from under his nom
de plume, he will find that there
are a few facts about mutual insur­
ance that hb has not learned. I will
not waste your valuable space with
an extended answer to his rambling
article but will give your readers
two statements that oontain food
for reflection.
1. The members of the mutuals
are protected by a withdrawal clause
and a contingent liability olausebotb
of which are declared binding by the
best legal authority in Oregon.
2. There are at least two mu­
tual associations doing business ft)
this state that have more money on
hand per $1.000 o f insurance in
force than any stock oompany doing
business in the state; the only d if­
ference being that the reserve of
the mutuals belong to the insured
while the reserve of the stook com­
pany belongs to the stockholders.
I f the money-lenders spoken of
in the article referred to had in
their vaults the million dollars that
was sent out of Oregon to insurance
companies in the east lastjyear they
would be able to see the present
financial situation in a different
lig h t W e hope that the most of
them will give the matter a little
more though now instead of accept­
ing as gospel facts the unsigned at­
tacks of the many “ Junius the Sec­
onds” who are more interested in
tbu little commission they see slip­
ping through their fingers than they
are in the welfare of their custom­
ers.

“ Secy Oregon Merchants' Mutual.’’
J. Simpson, of North Bend, stated
that his mills not only had no inten­
tion o f shutting down, bnt had ad­
vance order of such a nature to fill
that they could not cloee without be­
coming heavily liable on certain
bonded interests.
The company
has, he staled, 17,000,000 feet of
logs iu its booms nud 15,000,000 feet
of logs cut the woods ready to be
thrown into the rivers. Every stick
of this will have to ha cut. The
company's bQX factory had a con­
tract to deliver one and a half mill
ion boxes inside the next eight
months to California Orange Grow­

mills is being increased by ad­

machinery,

factory is being operated to its full
capacity, and has large numbers of
advance orders to fill. In short,
the financial and industrial condi­
tion in Noith Bend was never as
good as at present, and I he cry still
goes out fer more men for Coos Bay.
A prominent man connected with

Earning a living does l o t ¡mean
earning a shorn, bare existence. It
means earning a shorn, care exis­
tence. It means earning the right
to live, in this glorious old world,
to move among our kind. W e earn
the ligh t to see and rejoice in the
sunsets and sunrises; we earn the
right to look with joy and hope into
the faces of the stars at night; the
t right is to live in our friendships
to rejoice and sorrow with our fel­
low beings; the right to be of com­
fort, of use; to read good books,
enjoy good music, to delight in
beautiful pictures.
We earn the
right to love little children, and to
pity the unfortunate, and to be of
direct help and inspiration to oth­

October 30, 1907:— The Oregon
State H igh School Debating League
organized during the past summer,
is meeting with hearty co operation
rom all parts of the state. Up. to
the present time fifteen of the larger
schools have signified their inten­
tion of joining the league, includ­
ing Pendleton, Baker City, La-
Grande, Ontario, The Dalles, As­
toria, Salem, Roseburg, Klamath
Falls, Medford, Grants Pass, Ban­
don, Marshfied, North Bend, and a
number of smaller ones. On ac­
count of the reorganization of its
high schools, Portland was not able
to enter, but do so next year.
The state has been divided into
four districts, and a ebampiou-
ship team will b6 chosen from
each district: The final debate
wilt be held at the University of
Oregon. A handsome silver cup
will be given to the winning team.
Fell From Flume.
Drain, Ore., Nov. 6.— Wm. Davis,
aged about 45 ysars, was instantly
killed about 11 oc’lock last night by
falling from the Skelley Lumber
company’s flume just south of
Drain, at a point where the flume is
thirty feet from the ground. Davis
and a man named Swe6t were re­
turning to their homes in Hayhurst
Valley. They had just come from
Coos Bay, where they had worked
in loggin g camps. Davis leaves a
wife and three children.
