VOORHIES, rROi'R. & Mnor FRED MEKSCH, - Editor Entered at the post office at Grants I's-s Oregon, as second-class mail niattcr. THURSDAY, DKCKMHKR, 19, 1001 David P. Thompson, a prominent citizen of Oregon, died at bit home in Portland on December 14 Tbe two men Dalton and Wade, who killed young Morrow in Portland, bave been convicted of murder in tbe first degree. Each swears that tbe other did the shooting, It'll li are equa'ly guilty of the crime and the Jury's verdict is just. i The Schley court of inquiry finds the admiral at fault on 11 counts, but Ad miral Dewey, the bead of tbe court, sub mits a minority report sustaining him. Public opinion holds Dewey'i Judgment in far higher esteem than that of the other members of the court. Dswej bad experienced like conditions himself, while the others were largoly theorists, though said to be men of high character Bchley Is given tbe woistof it in ever; possible construction of the several cases. Public opinion will bold the verdict of the court in contempt and Schley will continue fo be a Iihio. The deeds Schley has done can not be ob scured by technical criticisms of the manner in which be accomplished them Just now there seems to be quits I number of bypnotiite giving exhibitions In tbe west. It is an open question at to whether or not such exhibitions should be allowed. There ere many who are skeptical on Ibis subj-et, claiming that it is all fraud and fake, but few who see these, exhibitions and observe the performances of the subjects can doubt the genuineness of the hypnotic influence. Assumed that the tests are genuine, the matter assumss s yet more torlout aspect. It seems a very dangerous thing that ons person should exercise so complete a control over the minds of others. All hyp notists assert that do person can be hypnotised against hit will, yet any casual observer who watches the hyp notist! night after night can see that the subject yields each time with ever In creasing readiness and the possibilities in this line seem jliinltlesi. Then tbe effect on tbe .mind of the victim It something that require! investigation. It may be safely asserted that tlese publlo hypnotic exhibitions should not be permitted. Tbs following opinion of President Roosevelt Is given by a Washington correspondent : "The citizens of Wash ington take congress yery much st a matter of course. With the old hab itues, congress is no 'great attraction. Distinguished public men create no sensation Tbore are too many of them. But never in the memory of, anyone living has there been such an interest ing personage In tbe White House as President Theodore Roosevelt, and more it hoped from him by optimists who believe ill popular government than from any previous president. Tbore are thousands who would be willing to give him autocratic power, and if tbe country backs him to tbe end as popular sentiment is backing him now, be will have the equivalent of autocratic power and be able to lest those reforms in the civil, naval and military establishments (or which hit name It a synonym. Dls tingulsbed as a publicist, at a soldier, and as a statesman, he l even more dis tinguished as a refurmer and as a terror to political corriiptionistsand that horde of conscienceless politicians who have so long regarded public ofllcus as a private perquisite. If ho succeeds In downing this horde, hn will make firmer and fairer the foundations of the republic, and the superstructure fur a thousand years will bear the marks of bis master hand."

Tin is a metal extremely rare in this country and ill the world. The world't supply of tin has been mainly kept up by the great tin mines in Cornwall, Fug Tin is aiming the very useful metals, principally on account of its uou-cor-rosive quality. It has hnui f.iunl in this county, though not in quantity as yet. In tho Silver creek placers, the minors frequently llml pieces of native tin, some of it nearly pure. Some of the metal will halter ill hammering and some of it a ill break. In the first in in ing on this creek, the metal was sup poed to lie. silver, hence the name of the creek. Practically no effort has been unide as yet to Hud the kuurce of the metal. Tin bus alto been found in Shau creek, a siniiil tributary ol Houe river coming in fioin the south near Pickett cieek. Then also some mnples o! ore brought in by prospec tors and supposed hy them to bo cinna bar has been pronoun-ol tin ore by those who have b id experience W illi th a meial. A simple test for tin is to b.t the iiielnl wi'li the teeth. Tin, un d rili tri.it in- nl, gi.es for'h a p culiar tqueak lh.ll no other metal will g've.
