All communications should bs addressed to i be PRESS Athena, Oregon ATHENA, JULY 22, 1904 The Press is of the opinion that Athena is old enough, large enough and progressive enough to support the organization and maintenance of some sort ot a commercial club or board of trade. Other towns smaller than Athe na, and with less facilities and resources find in such organizations a vast lever age of assistance in advancing business welfare and enterprise. A commercial club, encompassing in its membership the go-ahead business men and property owners of the town, serves as the badge of progress and the key to the solution of many a problematic enterprise that otherwise, without the co operation of an organization of leading citizens, , working for the object in view as one man, falls by the wayside labeled "Died for the want of support." The cpst of maintaining a commercial club is nomin al, and the benefit derived from an or ganization of this character is incal culable. The entrance of the Preston- Parton Milling Co, in Athena business circles is the first of any great magni tude, and by proper encouragement others could be prevailed on to follow. Organization a united effort will bring them. With cheap and splendid power at her command, with her recognized railroad facilities and with her match less agricultural resources, Athena stands in the limelight of prosperous ad vancement. Can she have a commercial club? Steam up and organize one. Parker's famous telegram to the St. Louis convention unquestionably placed New York in the doubtful column, al though the chances of republican suc cess in that state are even now brighter than the opposing party. The decided stand taken by the democratic nominee has caused eastern democrats to take heart, and many of them are freely pre dicting that not only will New York go democratic, but New Jersey, and pos sibly Connecticut and Rhode Island bb well. Disregarding these assertions, it niUBt be admitted that New York is to be the scene of the heaviest campaign ing this year. It is the state for which both parties will make their strongest fight. New Jersey and the smaller New England states are desirable, and will be fought for to the end, but not so vigorously as New York, which is from now on the storm center. New York, it h true, is not necessary to republican success, but the loss of New York, with the adjoining states, would be a serious set back to the republicans. Democrats, in their euthusiasm, assort that Parker's bold stand on the money question will give him his home state. They base this conclusion on the belief that the money interests and the business inter ests, which they allege are hostile to Roosevelt, will find in Parker a "safe" man, and will abandon the republican nominee for man whose financial views agree with their own. It is to be ex pected that Parker will draw back into the party many ' ot the gold democrats who could not stand for Bryan and tree silver. He will do this in New York, as in other eastern and western states. Charles Eaton, a Seattle attorney, who received 97,000 the other day for work that required halt an hour of time, and which should have been done by the prosecuting attorney without cost to ,' .. the county, Jbaa a contract with the county commissioners by which he is in a position to make 1100,000 from estates in the next year or two. He has his eye on 11 estates whose original owners are dead and left no heirs, and for the mere formality of presenting the matter to the court his contract gives him half the proceeds, and the school fund suffers to just that extent. Just why the contract,' was executed, and who are the greatest beneficiaries aside from the attorney, whose name is most prominent, the pub lic is unable to learn, but it is under stood that the Civic union, an organiz ation having for its object purity in municipal affairs, is to investigate. The attorney general of , the state is to be called on for an opinion on the validity of the contract. In Portland on August 2nd will be held a meeting that is of importance to the entire state. We refer to the meet ing called for the purpose of organizing the Oregon Development League, an organization that is intended to be per manent, and will have for its purpose the encouraging of enterprises ef all kindi that will tend to build up the re-, sources of the state. Such an organiz ation, if composed of representative citizens from every part of the state, can and will do much for the upbuilding of Oregon and the development of its re sources. Through it there can be a con cert of action a general working to gether a combination of interests, as it were whereby more can be accomplish ed than by individual effort. A revision of the tariff by the people and not by the beneficiaries of protect ion is demanded in the democratic plat form; and if Judge Parker should be elected together with a congress in har mony with his views, the tariff would be revised in the interest of the masses, whereas it Mr. Roosevelt is re-elected the present schedules will hardly be in terfered with and the full grown "Infant industries" will continue to levy tribute upon cousumers in every corner of the country. The import ant question of flat salaries for state officials is sure to come before the next legislature. A bill for this pur pose is certain to be introduced early in the session. It will be opposed only by those who believe public office is a priv ate snap, and their numbers may be sufficient to defeat it. Personally Conducted Excursion t St. Louis. The O. R. & N. will on August 10 run a tourist sleeper from Walla Walla to St. Louis via the Denver & Rio Grande without change.
