Application for entrance as 2nd class matter made on July 6, 1W7 at the poBtofflce at Athena. Oregon Under an Aotot Congress of March 3, 1879 Subscription ftatk-: p t year, In advance 12.00 Single copies In wrappers, 5c, ATHENA. ORE.. NOV. 22 '.907 M mmmmmm Two handred and thirty new people found homes io Oregon every day from September 1st to October 31st as a re sult of the ooloniHt one-way tickets, and through the bolp of the newspapers the population and woalth of the State has boen enormously inorenned. The exact number of tickets sold as report ed by Mr. William McMurray, Gene ral Passenger Agent of the Harriman linos, for 1907, was 13,753. For the same time in 1!)06 it was 8390, an in crease of 4863 or about sixty per cent. This of course does not include tickets sold to Oregon over the Canadiau Pa ciDo, Northern Pacific, Great North ern, or any oilier roads whose tickets came around by way of Paget Sound. Tho Oregon Development League has made tue colonist rates the chief feat ure of its work. The Portland Com mercial Club circulated 400,000 leaf lets with this low rato its central fea ture, and probably no advertising ever done by any state in the Union has shown better results. The rates will be on again during March and April 1908. haul upon a level track. The locomo tive weighs more than two hundred tons and is supported upon sixteen driving wheels, eight on each side. A train a mile and a half long, which is the length of two hundred and ten cars, wonld have astounded railroad men of the last geueratiou, but en gineers today'are looking forward to longer trains, if they have not already made them up. One of the best signs of the rapid clearing of the financial situation is said to be the ordering of resumption of work on railroad projects that were abandoned in the Paciflo northwest two weeks ago. The Harriman com panics have ordered work resumed in a number of places ou new construo tion, and forces are being organized. A Montana paper worries over the increased amount of gambling carried on within the borders of that state. The habit, or praotice or evil or any thing else it may be termed, is rapidly being rooted out of Oregon and but few cities of any consequence or size will tolerate it in this state. rom BiSDllKBSS The horse show which closed recent ly at Portland was a tremendous sue cess, and the Oregon animals on dis play as well as the show itself was voted by Dr. Withyoombe as just as good, if Dot as large, as the one in New York City. 1 A iuu on the banks is about the worst piece of damphoolisbness that any people ever engaged in, and is like a stampede in a crowded house when the word "Fire" is heaid. To keep cool in time of danger is almost an augelio attribute. Great as was' thewhea crop, says the Arlington Record, it is likely to be surpassed by the crop of wild geese, acres of which are now ready for the harvester. Arlington appears to be the stopping plaoe of these birds of passage, and more of them have paused in their flignt to inspoot the country hereabouts than Rockefeller has dol lars. Hunters are swarming in from all directions and the railroads, pow der trusts aud hotels aio hoping the goose harvest will last all winter. Four sportsmen brought in 160 geese as tho result of one morning's work and it is not muoh above the average of a good shot. , A Kansas man who has an 800 aore orchard said in Medford: "I have visited all the fruit sections of the country, but the only sections that ap peal to me as an apple grower are the Hood river and Rogue river valleys." James J. Hill astonished his friends reoently by appearing in a suit of white. He even wore white shoes. Perhaps Mr. Hill has decided that it will be useless for him to go on trying to look like a Methodist preaoher.

In connec tion with the light between Kansas City and Chicago, the places where past conventions of the two parties have boon held may prove interesting. Four democratic national oonvontions lmvo boon held in Chicago that of 1864, when MoClellau was nominated ; of 1884, when Cloveluud was nominat ed the first time, of 1892, whon he was nominated the last time and of 1896, when Bryan was first nominated. Not alone is the eight-hour law be ing rapidly udoptod in some modified form by all the states, tut in most in stances ic is boiug rigidly euforced. Up in Suohouiish oouuty, Washington, tho oouuty commissioners allowed la borers to work on county roads more than eight hours a day and the state attoruoy gonoral is up in arms over it. Tho commissioners are liable to crimi nal prosecution. Two hundred nnd ten loadod freight ears is tho train which a loooruotive. lately built for the Erie railroad, will Harriman is quoted as saying that he would rather own all the railroads than run the government. The reporter probably misunderstood him. He must have said he would rather own all the railroads aud run the government. The AshJand Normal school is also reported to be enjoying the most pros perous year in its history. Maybe these sohools oan be made nearly self-sustaining After she bad saved the lives of three young men a New York girl re fused to lot her name be known to the reporters. She must be the only girl in tho land who has no desire to go ou the stage. "Can a man who is a Christian ac tually bo eugagod in the production of wealth under modern conditions?" asks Prof. Shailer Mathews. Up to this writing the professor has received no answers. Mr. Sohmitz of San Frauoisoo now perceives tliat a politician is more or less handioapped whon he has to use a jail as campaign headquarters.

Athena merohants carry dependable goods in stock, and the people of this vicinity appreciate the merit of the big stock ? to tho extent that out-of-town trading is becoming less pronoa'ueed eaoh year. The declaration by experts that there is very little real whiskey in the oonn try Eeerns to have increased instead of abating the prohibition sentiment. Incroased price should at least guar antee consumers against milk that is largely an optical illusion. When conferences occur at the White House, E. H.
