All communications should be addressed to the I'REBB Athena, Oregon ATHENA, MAY 27, 1898. The Scientific American has quite an exhaustive article com paring .the navy of the United States with that of Spain. In the course of the article it says: "In battleships we have five times the displacement, higher average speed, ten times the number of guns, and nearly four times the energy of gun fire. In cruisers we have over 2000 tons more displace ment, slightly higher average speed, 40 per cent moro guns, aud over 180,000 foot-tons greater energy of gun fire. It is only in torpedo boats that Spain is strong er, having double the displace ment, 2 knots greater average 6peed, more and heavier euns, and seven or eight times the energy of gun fire, Tho greatly superior gun fire of the torpedo boats is due to the fact that most are torpedo boat destroyers, and carry heavy batteries for the express purpose of sinking the enemy's , torpedo boats. Spain has absolutely noth ing to oppose to our . monitor, and if she wishes to releaso her bo leaguered army, she must meet and break through a line of battle which will include these powerful ships' The Oakesdale Sun states that farmers residing, between that city and Colfax have petitioned the Northern Pacific railway fur tho construction of a line between the two points to afford them a better market for their grain. Right-of-way has been gi anted and it is understood that tho Northern Pacific is favorably considering the proposition.' The line for which a preliminary' survey was once made, would run from Oakes- ,1 l I,..' , C 1 I. - MM l I uaic mijr ui mu 4 liuru BUUOOl house and west of Steptoo Rutte i n if .1 it to v,ouax, passing inrougu a rich agricultural country, capable of producing an immense quantity of grain, but badly handicapped by rjcing lemoto from railroad con nections. If you are a democrat, a freo silver republican or a popalist, according to Mr. Charles II. Dodd, of .Portland, Multnomah county, Oregon, you aro a traitor to your country and disloyal -to tho flag of the United States, all because the union party platform, through carelessness on the part of thos who drew it up, omits a Cu ban plank. Mr. Charles II. Dodd, of Portland, Multnomah sounty, Oregon, is considered an able speaker by the republicans and they place much confidence in what he tells them. At least they profess to. , The present apparently unfriend ly attitude of tho French in furn ishing coal to tho Spanish navy may possibly be explained by the suggestion that living, as they are, side kby eidc, their sympathies naturally would be with Spain, and another and more material reason, that the French own hundreds of millions of Spanish bonds. This unfriendly act of the French will doubtless form a very interesting chapter in diplomatic correspondence after tho Spaniards have been disposed of by Admiral Sampson, Tho success of the Oregou dis play at tho Columbia Fair at Chicago will bo repeated on a far more comprehensive scale at the Trans-MiBsissipni ExDosilion. which opens in June. The state commissioners appointed by Gov emor Lou?, having in charce the work of preparation have gone actively to) work and not a day has been , lost. Funds aro pledged there is over G,000 feet of space of the department buildings at the exposition, and everything is pro gressing toward a successful end. The old saying that every dog hart his day ia exemplified at the present time in the ca3e of the farmers of the Pacific Northwest. Three years ago tbe farmers of this section produced nothing that would sell for '.a profitable figure but today there is scarcely an article they produce but wbat brings gilt-edged prices, and the farmer's occupation from being an exceedingly profitless one has be come the most remunerative call ing in the country. The office of superintendent of public instruction is, or should be, nonpolitical, but there is a matter in connection with this office that should be considered. That is, shall the publications of the Am erican Book Co. be fastened upon the school patrons of Oregon again at an advance of what similar books are supplied to Washington and Idaho? W. W. Harrah, the union candidate, will, if elected, guard the interests of the schoo patroiiB. Tho United States is now ship ping steel rails to Russia as well as to Australia. A recent an nouncement from Australia shows that American bidders were suc cessful in obtaining a contract for the delivery of a large lot of steel rails for use in that country even against bids coming from England and Germany, and now comes re ports that the new Siberian rail road is to be metalled with Ameri can steel. Charles Emory Smith, of Phil adelphia, is not tho first news paper man to become postmaster general. Benjamin Franklin, the first man to occupy that position, belonged to tho grand army of writers. Amos Kendall left an editoral desk to become post master general in Van Buren's cabinet. Montgomery Blair, Lincoln's postmaster-general, was an editor, and Thomas L. James began life as a newspaper man." For the edification of our friend of the Tribune, we will admit that while we like mince pies, it has been several moons since we were hit in the head with a sour apple cocktail. The stock business might prove profitable, but what would our "model country paper" do without us. All the talk now is war. And there will be a battle of stuffed clubs if the country punsters don't stop their work on the name of Commodore Dewey. In other words the populace won't "Dewey" a thing to them. Ex. The political pot has not yet simmered, so far this year, with the intensity characteristic of former campaigns. But it is hard to tell what's coming. Cavite is pronounced Ca vce-tay, with tho accent on the vco, but Dewey's fighters rechristened it Dennis with the accent on the eight-inch guns. Wm, McBride, ... v.JVulw ln.' !
