It is told of the late Mr. Corbett that when as n youth of less than 20 he left his home in interior New York and went down to the city to Mxk his fortune, the time was one of universal business depression. He knew what he wanted" employ ment in a wholesale store, where by energy and deration he might .have opportunity to commend him self and so get on in the world. He applied everywhere for work, only to learn that it was n time when no new men were being taken on, when on the other hand men were being dropped. It was a discour aging situation, but Mr. Corbett declined to accept defeat. He had come to the city to find work and a . career, and there was no thought of failure in his mind. As time wore on and he could find nothing by the usual methods of approach, he conceived the idea of making application to every' store on the then chief wholesale street. Taking one store after the other, he went at it, but was every ' where turned away. At last he told those to whom he applied that to find work he was determined; that he would gladly work without pay until such time as his efforts would be clearly worth paying for; .and in admiration of his purpose and of his persistence in it, he was permitted to take hold literally take hold, for his duties were of the coarsest and hardest on these terms. At the end of the first month it was decided by the head of the establishment to give him a .moderate wage; the next month his wages were doubled; in a year he was earning a fine salary; in 3 years he was among the best-paid men of his class and rank in the city. At the end of six or seven years he had saved a little capital, and, what was far more important, he had established a credit with his firm by which he was enabled to buy and bring to the then far-away Oregoti the stock of merchandise which became the material founda tion of his business operations here. These incidents are worth recit ing because they emphasize a gen eral truth which every generation needs to learn, namely, that habits of industry, with a fixed purpose, courage and persistence, will unfail ingly command success. Times and conditions change, but through all there remains this general assur ance that a strong, determined, diligent and honest youth will as suredly find a way in the world. Success has no condition or season for its own; it is more often won under adverse conditions than under conditions which arc called fortu nate. Temperament, character and a manly will, rather than inherit ances, friends or fortunate condi tions, make the successful man. Oregonian. SIU.AU. Among the many other resources of this neighborhood is n peculiar rock formation. It underlies nearly the whole upper Deschutes valley, in fact, is the bedrock of the river over almost the1 whole distance from the lakes to Tetherow's bridge, and is many feet in thickness. This rock should and will not be over looked in the building of the city of Hcud on account of its many peculiarities and diversified adapt abilities; and we venture the asser tion that in five years it will be a marketable commodity in the neigh borhood us n building stone, the quarrying of which will require the time and labor of hundreds of men. Geology gives no account of this stone, which has the characteristics of both sedimentary and volcanic rocks. The Century for March gives it the name of Sillar; and de scribes it as being "light gray vol canic rock, cuts like putty, and can be painted any color. Resembles marble at a distance", etc. If our rock is not sillar, it is something closely akin to it. Upon breaking up n piece, freshly taken from the ground, it cuts like refined chalk and indeed resembles chalk in its uoucohcrcncc of particles. After two days' exposure to the atmos phere, however, it becomes hard s basalt, and on this account alone is a valuable building stone. When fresh it can be whittled into all sorts of fantastic shapes, such us statues of men, birds und animals, with great ease, and the making of huge bricks of the stuff is a future industry' of this neigh borhood. The inhabitants of the valley early discovered the mani fold uses of "sillar", as they have in Arizona and New Mexico, and almost every house in the country' has a fireplace made of it, and flues are largely composed of it. A com modity of this kind is not likely to be overlooked for any length of time. Besides being very light (specific gravity 1. 10) it possesses the further advantage of occurring in blanket form of great thickness, thus insur ing great tensile strength after hardening as well as uniformity in softness when fresh. Surely, what more can be wished for in a locality that is rich in water power, timber, agriculture and building stone that anybody can cut without calling in a stone mason? and Oatch of Marlon, to Hay noth ing of the other numerous and as piring candidates, say that they can control enough of the delegates to place Dinger among the "also rmw." Dinger Hermann's official record is not otic to justify any great amount of public confidence. His career In the hulls of congress was not as clean and bright as it tdiould have been, and the people of the first dis trict do not ioiut with pride to the work of Hermann as we of the sec ond do to that of our retiring repre sentative, Malcolm' A. Moody. Her mann's official (Kith as commissipn cr of the general land office is trace able front the time he was installed until he was unceremoniously kick ed out by very plain evidence of graft, malfeasance und mismanage ment, and the fact that the presi dent planted his shapely official boot in the region of Dinger's coat- tails, and the knowledge that his influence with the Roosevelt ad ministration is nil should be a very good reason for his expulsion to the tall timber, where he can pass the remainder of his days writing u his tory of his official life, entitled "Looking Backward," or "He who promises and runs away may live to promise another day." Our friend of the Silver Lake Bulletin, having sized up the situation by look ing through the big end of the telescope and picking out Dinger as a winner, also having his usual nat ural desire to play on the safe side, is strenuously slinging ink and causing the welkin to ring in praise of Hermann the Great. We arc resting easy, however, in the belief that his very short residence in Lake will counterbalance whatever effect his words of wisdom may have. He fccLs, however, that two congressional crutches upon which he can lean are better than one, and of course he cannot be blamed for that. Z.

A pupil in a village school who had been requested to write an es say on the human body handed in the following: "The human body consists of the head, thorax, abdo men, and legs. The head contains the brains in case there are any. The thorax contains the heart and lungs, also the liver and lights. The abdomen contains the bowels, of which there are five a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes w and y. The Superintendent L. D. Wiest re cently gave notice to the Oregon Irrigation Company's men at work a mile north of here on the ditch right-of-way that was claimed by their company to move, stating that they were trespassing on the Pilot Dutte Company's right-of-way, and that each man would be held per sonally responsible for any damage done in following his superiors' or ders. In compliance with this no tice the O. I. Co.'s men have aban doned their ditch right-of-way at that point as well as at Lava. This means that at last the O. I. Co. has listened to the harsh voice of Secre tary Hitchcock commanding them to keep off the grass, and that the Pilot Butte Development Company will not be again harassed by petty lawsuits instituted in a mongrel spirit simply to delay development work. The fight for the late Hon. Thos. H. Tongue's place in congress waxes warm in the first district. Dinger Hermann, the everlasting, the wily, the grafter, claims a ma jority of the delegates, but "Foxy Quiller" Brownell of Clackamas, Kelly of Iian, Vawter of Jackson, A SOUND VIIIW. The president iu his speech at Minneapolis on Saturday among other thing uttered the following: "No change in the tariff duties can have any substantial effect in solving the so-called trust problem." This is to our notion a sound view of the question, and a note of warning &. well. Doth are well taken. It means that the trusts can flourish and fix the prices of their various commodities to suit them selves, regardless of whether the said commodities are manufactured under a high tariff, a low tariff, or no tariff. It is virtually an admis sion and the president knows what he is talking about that our chief executive feels his helplessness, his insufficiency to deal witji the trusts. As they arc prospering and waxing fat under a protective tariff, and cannot be subdued or even con trolled with a change in the tariff, what is the remedy, or political nar cotic by which they may be made drowsy and pliant? , In our opinion there is none. They will naturally outlive their usefulness. They resemble the hu man body in that they contain the germs of senility and disease which will eventually cause their own de struction. They must have their birth, youth, maturity, decline and death; decay within themselves will cause their own death, and dis integration will follow as a natural result. To be sure; an incalculable harm may be done the present gen eration, but the next Will probably be free from this "old man of the sea" which is fastened upon our shoulders at present. Nature's laws are inflexible and changeless, and while the old dame is occasion ally tardy in collecting, she always exacts in the cud full remuneration for debts.
