The 100.00 prire offer made by the
Columbia Steel Company of Portlaud,
through the Oregon Development
Jwgue. for sand testing 03 per cunt
pure silica and free from iron oxides,
for use in steel manufacturing, excited
tremendous interest throughout Ore
gon, Washington, California, Idaho
and Montana. Hundreds of samples
were received. Some of the sand was
too fine, some too coarse, the grains of
some were too angular, while other
samples were, clay or building sand
aud not silica at all. Some exception
ally promising samples came from the
"Iuland Empire," but though niakiug
asploudid analysis they failed to make
good when put to actual test iu tbe
ateol foundry. The piisso money is
still waiting for n wiuuer.
Wben Seuator George C. Perkius of
California, iu a speech reoeutly deliv
ered before tbe Uuited States Seuate,
ruedn tho statement that Portland har
bor afforded a depth of betwoou 19 aud
20 feet, the people of the great Colum
bia River Basin aud all those of the
Pacific Northwest were astouished.
Tho most thorough compilation of tbe
shipping of 1007 from this port shows
uumeions vessels with draft ranging
from 25 to 23.0 feet, and very large
uumber averaging iu excess of 21 feet.
Tbe people of tbe Columbia River
Basin do not appreciate tbe misrepre
sentation coustautly given the river,
and has asked Seuator Perkins to cor
Pert bis erroneous statement iu the i
Senate, but up to this time be baa uot

That excellent paper, tbe Dayton,
(Wash.) Cbroniole, makes announce
ment that it has acquired tbe sterling
editorial talent of Rufus Rockwell
WilsoD, a New York journalist and au
tboi of National reputation. In con
junction with bis editorial work on
New York's leading papers, Mi. Wil
son found time to write several well
known books, among which are bis
"Rambles in Colonial Byways,'
"Washington; tbe Capital City and
Its Part in the History of tbe Nation,"
"New York: Old and New. Its
Story, Streets and Landmarks," and
"Historio Long Island." Tbe Cbron
iole, always a good paper, will be
made better by Mr. Wilson's associa
tion with its corps of intelligent news
paper workers.
The total cost to the state, aocording
to figures complied by Seoretary of
State Benson, for the printing, binding
aud distribution of tbe pamphlets cod
taiuing the title and texts of theiuiti
ative and referendum measures, to
gether with the affirmative and nega
tive arguments for and against same,
will amount up to over $15,000 in
round numbers. Tbis does not include
tbe cost of having tbe questions printed
upon the official ballot, which will
add a considerable sum to tbis amount.

Tbe Press reoeived tbe first issue of
tho Elgiu Leader. Wbile ueariug ear

Press fails to see wherein any manner
the Leader is tbe peer of that other

There is a scarcity of school teaob

does not seem to bring much oomfort
to tbe thousands of aotrosses and aotorsj
who are parading np and down tbe
Great White Way and eagerly hoping
for something to happen.
man of herculean mould could have
done It A huge politioal machine,
with all its ramifications and secret
agenoies, sood in his way. It bad ita
tentacles in the very vitals of the com
monwealth. Aa conrt testimony
shows, tbe very officials sworn to up
hold the law, secretly blockaded bis
progress, and placed bim at enormous
disadvantage. A man of less resolu
tion would bave been driven from the
field ; but that is not Mr. Heney's way.
He btayed with tbe ship and the con
victions and sentences that resulted
show bow urgently Oregon needed a
bouse cleaning. It is to tbe very great
credit of Mr. Heney, and it ought to
be eminently satisfactory to Oregon in
tbe moral awakeoing that it left as a
sequel. It ought to secure from Mr.
Heney a patient hearing and respectful
consideration wben be exhorts Oregon
people to bitob their publio aims to a
higher star.
And there is more than tbis in tbe
works of Mr. Heney. In bis appeals
for tbe people to resist tbe encroaob
meets of special privilege, and of boss
ism, be brings a ringing message. It is
tbe message Roosevelt bas sounded. It
is the slogan of La Follette. It is the
shibboleth of every apostle of good
government. It ought to be tbe
watohword of every citizen of tbe re
publio. Tyranny is the price, Mr,
Heney says, we must pay, if bosses rule
and monopolies control, and are not
every man, everywhere and every time
take all be can get, and, by that token
if tbe boss and tbe monopolist gain
power are not tbe people certain to be
plundered?
Whatever men may tbink as to Mr.
Heney's obarges against Senator Ful
ton, there can be no question that bis
clarion warning against corruption,
bis appeal for higher citizenship, de
serve tbe most thoughtful considera
tion. -Journal.

HENEYISM.
Opinions will .differ as to the ac
cusations brought by Mr. Heney
against Seuator Fnltou. They ought
not to differ over tbe merits of Heuey
ism. Seuator Fultou's friends scoru
tbe acousations. They ought uot nor,
should others, find serious disagree
ment with his doctrines. He resents
corrupt oitizenship, and would eradi
cate it. That ia a virtue for all men
to emulate. It is the doctrine that
bas made Mr. Roosevelt enormously
popular. It is the profession that has
made tbe name of La Follette great.
It is the t home that bas made the
name of Folk known in every home in
the laud. If we have commended these
things in Roosevelt, La Follette and
Folk, why are they not commendable
in Mr. Heuey?
Mr. Heney not only preaohes, but
devotes bis talents to extinction of
corrupt citizenship. His service to
Oregon in destroying tbe land fraud
cabal, and bringing tbe crooks to just
ice, bos been extraordinary. Only a
