A II communications should be addressed to he PRESS Athena, Oregon ATHENA. APRIL 24. 190S Some papers commenting on tbe pos sibility of Mr. Reatues, tbe democratic nominoe for congress in tbe first district bi'iiit; elected over Mr. Hermann, Lave been estimating tbe republican majority at from 30 to 4000. Tbe voto cast for secretary of state last June was about party vote, as nearly so perhaps as any vote, and basing calculations on this it would seem that the repubilcan ma' jority in tbe 17 counties comprising tbe first district was then 7484. Mr. Dun bar, the republican nominee, received 15,098. If Mr. Reams overcomes this big majority in a vote of 39,480 be will be a swift runner. The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius is t be sold as junk. What predictions there were that she would make the navies of the world look like 80 cents! It took fifty-seven congresses to enact a law prohibiting the sale of liquor in the capitol. It will take fifty-seven more to enforce it. The wife of England's chief pawn broker has just been received at court. You can't keep money down. . v' JAPANK3K COAL, J, P. Morgan and James J. Hill, tbe promoters of the big railway merger, have doubtless come to the conclusion ere this that they are- not the- entire "push" in this country. If the decision of tbe court which recently decided that their transportation combine is unlaw ful, is sustained by the U. S. supreme court, which will doubtless be the case. it will sound the death knell to railroad mergers and give Messrs Hill-Morgan et. al. to understand that they must go it alone in the railroad world. ' The letters from Congressman J. N, Williamson are sufficient to show that persons who file on 160 acres of land on the Butter creek reservation have no assurance that their claims will not be cut down to 80 acres or less. This will not be very good news to some of the people who rushed to the Echo country and were settled upon a beautiful tract of sage brush land by a locator for a 850 or $100 fee, observes the Pendleton Tribune. It seems strange that the Eugene con vention should have turned from the bright and blameless young men offered as candidates, to name Mr. Hermann for congress. Mr. Hermann is ever a genial person, and time was when he was a useful congressman. But a Btalking ghost follows him now. It points an accusing finger and asks constantly, "Why, Mr. Hermann, did you quit office under the Roosevelt administration?" Corvallis Times. One of the chronic kicks of the East ern Oregon farmer and stock raiser since llie first settlement of this section is overhigh freight rates to tide water. This being the case we fail to see how any one at all interested in the future of this portion of the state can counte nance or encourage the attempt to re fer the building of the portage railroad at Celilo to the people at a special election. Washington republicans are not going to be behind time in arranging for the next senatorial contest. Already they have commenced figuring on Senator Foster's successor. His term does not expire until March, 1905, yet the Wil-son-Cushman combination is laying plans for controling the next legislature. This reminds one of the old saying about the "early bird." According to Said Pasha there is no doubt that Turkey is trying to live up to modern notions regarding the moral responsibilities of nations. At least that is what Said said. Absence of revenue on coal imported into the United States has caused the W. II. Gill company, operating exten sive coal mines at Moji, Japan, to plan making Portland a base for tbe distri bution of tbeir fuel throughout the American west. W. Harrisonjiill, the head of the corporation mentioned above, is negotiating with the Portland Sc Asiatic Steamship Co. for carriers, and, while an agreement has not been definitely announced, he hopes in a short time to .compete with both the products of Pacific Northwest mines and those of Australia, says the Port land Journal. Cheapness of labor in tbe Orient, both as regards actual mining operations and stevedoring, will enable tbe Gill Com pany to place its product on shipboard at an expense far below the cost of min ing in the United States where prices are governed by a union scale. The only question thus far has been one of freight rates and it is believed that this temporary difficulty has been overcome. Mr. Gill has been in consultation with the officials of tbe O. R. & N. company and expects to leave shortly for Lon don, where the directors of the Gill Co. reside. He will make the trip to Eng land over the Canadian Pacific and from Halifax and will return again to the Orient by way of the Suez Canal. He came to America with the express purpose of making a market for the coal from his Japanese mines, the product ion being in excess of the Oriental de mand. Portand is his choice as a dis tributing point and he hopes to make the port a depot for the Gill Company on this side of the Pacific. It is know that the O. R. & N. com pany, which is iu reality the Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company, will make Mr. Gill the lowest possible rate, figures having been quoted. Public announce ment of these carrying charges have not yet been made, but it is known that the transportation company would be will ing to accept coal at a nominal rate to complete cargoes, and it would in this way be possible for Mr. Gill to ship several hundred tons per month into Portland. This will be undertaken at first only in the nature of a speculation, and in the event it should prove sufficiently remunerative, it may later be enlarged and expanded in various ways.
