la a concerted effort to coutrol bu
t:ouio plugue a practically iutorna
tional war for the exteriniuationof rats
bas communced, all the leading coun
tries of tbe world beiug interested
Wo Americans have been inclined to
regaid this terrible disease as a remote
danger, not realizing the gravity of
tbo situation. In one of tbe leading
cities of tbe west cases of plague were
dinoovored in 1903 and after a abort
campaign of rat extermination tb
epidemic was considered under control
only to break out again and again
A city bus recently declared actual war
upon its iat population and a force of
100 men is employed setting and hand
liiiL' traps as woll as distributing rat
poison. To encourage tbe populace in
tbe war a bounty of 25 cents for every
, mule rat and 50 cents for every female
iat is paid to any person bringing in
carcass. During tbe earlier mouths
of tbe your rats wore killed at tbe rate
of 3,500 a day. Whut other countries
are doing, bow tbo disease spreads and
is contracted Ly the individual and
othor interesting faots concerning tbis
ituportaut matter are fully discussed
in tbe August number of Popula
Much unics.
The automobile as u lite dopaitmeut
vehicle comes iu for bigb piaise and
the boiso-drawu wagon for a back
handed slap in tbe annual report of the
Bostou department, recently made
public. Commissioner Wells, who
writes the report, is strongly iu favor
of tbo motor vehicle both for currying
lire fighting apparutus and for tbe use
of chiefs. "From tbe viewpoint of
safety to riders aud to the public on
the street," says the commissioner
"the record of accidents shows greatly
in favor of tbe automobile. To the
observer tbis may not appear, to be so
but the tact remains that iu tbe thou
sands of miles covered with the auto
mobiles no injury to persons baa oc-
ouirod, while in the same period dis
met chiefs have been thrown from
t lioir wagons on soveral occasions, uud
one pedestrian bus been killed and sev
eral injured by beiug knooked down ty
Uibho tire wugous. Tbe automobile in
mrillfnl bunds is easily and promptly
controlled; the borso is not."
?o meeting was ever called in Ore-
goii wbioh bus attracted the universal
euliliusiuHni that has been oreuted by
tb( Oregon Hood Eoads Uoufeieuoe,
wliob is to be held iu Portland, Tues
day, Aug. 11th. The ruihoads have
made a rate of a fare aud a third for
tbo lound trip for this ocousiou. Del
egations representing every grauge,
the commercial bodies, and tbo differ
ent counties to ho appoiuted by the
county judges, are already reporting
that they will be presont. Every edi
tor iu tbo stute is a delegate at liirgo,
as is tbo mayor of every city, and every
county commissioner. A program is
being prepared, but very ellort will
bo mudo to get rid of long windid
Hpeuohiw and to get down to uotnnl
woik that will pioduco results.
Many tanners are crossing the liue
of the United States into tbo western
provinces of Cuuada. The movement
has n(ti acted widespread attention. It
lias beiMi encouraged by systematic
work of publicity aud promotiou. The
boomer lias used all sorts of advertis
ing devices to emphasize the advan
tages ot the new uouutiy. That his
services have been olfootivo is un
doubted. If Cauadiau llgures aro re
liable several huudred thousand peo
ple have moved fumi tbo United States
to these provinces since U00. Umatilla
county bus furnished tho quota of
emigrants in tho tlow to tbe oouutiy

is uotioable. The best lauds iu Alberta
have boen taken and benoefoith tbe

ing returns.

tbe East to all points iu Oregon coin

Oct. 31st. Every commercial organiz

should begin to make these rates tbe

souri River points, St. Paul, Dulutb,
and Winnipeg, $33, from St. Louis
and $38 from Gbioago, with propor
tionate rates from every point iu tbe

Scholars bave enjoyed making lists
of tbe best hundred books, tbe best
hundred pictures, tbe greatest hundred
battles. Senator La Follette of Wis
consin recently made a list of tbe men
who, iu bis opinion, control tbe finan
ces of tbe oonntry. Like other lists,
it omits many distinguished Americans
who think tbey are entitled to be in
cluded. There are seveial million of
us who believe we bave something to
say about tbe wealth of the nation,

A young man who had been convert
ed at a Methodist camp meeting iu one
of tbe new towns in Oklahoma, de
clared that all pride and self-conceit
has beeu taken out of his heart. .To
prove it be said be would go down
among the audience and kiss an old
oolored woman. As be went, down
the" aisle the old colored woman rose
to her feet and said: "Look a hyer,
bruddah, you may bab no pride, but I
has; you can't Hobsouize me 'fo all
dese white folks."
Prospects for good prioes for grain
were never brighter tnan tbey are at
the present time. The continuous
rain throughout the states of Nebraska,
Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and Missouri,
which are said to have greatly dam
aged the corn and wheat crops, are
cited as influeuoe iu favor of good
market prices for tbis section.
TILLMAN'S START.
An interesting etofy is related iu
oonueotiou with Senator Tillman's
ideals or agricultural education. It
was through a rebuke admiuistered to
Inm some years ago that be entered
politics. ,
There was an old agricultural col
lege iu tbe state in those days ... In
oonuoation with it a meeting was call
ed at Columbia, S. C. Mr. Tillman,
who was then a farmer living on bis
lower plantation, attended the meet
ing. He tried to address the meeting,'
but it is related that John C: Haskell.
asou-iDiiaw or Wade Hampton, rather
intimated that Mr. Tillman knew little
about tbe subject, and he was uot
afforded an opportunity to air bis
views.
Mr. Tillman smarted under what be
regarded as a rebuke from one of tbe
leading aristocrats of tbe state. Re
turning to bis plantation, he wrote
au exposition of bis views on agricul
tuial education aud eeut it to the Cot
ton Plauter, tbeu an influential jour-
ual among southern agricultural in
terests. Tbis. artiole . attracted attention
everywhere, and Mr. Tillman, still a
farmer without political ambitious,
was asked to address a meeting at
Beuuetville. He uooepted. His views
made a hit. He was asked to make
anotbor address. He accented. Or.
auization was effected amouir the
fanuois. and iu less than a year Mr.

Tillman was elected governor of South
Carolina.
Primaries came into vogne in South
Carolina about that time, and . tbe
ariatocraoy of old families who bad
been in political control were unboned
under tbe leadership of Tillman. . It
was as governor that Mr. Tillman
brought about tbe establishment of tbe
Clemson and Wmtbrop aobools aud
it was tbe rebuke from Haskell tbat
really foroed Tillman into politioa.
St Louis Globe-Democrat
PROHIBITION FOR 30 YEARS.
Tbe prohibitionists put their first
presidential candidate in tbe field in
1876, when Green Clay Smith of Ken
tucky received 9532 votes. Four years
later Neal Dow of Maine polled 10,305
votes.
John P. St. John of Kansas, tbe pro-,
bibition presidential oandidatein 1881,
got 151,809 votes. Four years later,
when Clinton B. Fisk of New Jersey
was tbe prohibition candidate, tbe
party polled 249,90? votes.
John Bidwell of California, prohi
bition nominee for president, received
264,133 votes in 1892. Tbat was bigb
tide for tbe prohibition forces in presi
dential elections, and Joshua Levering
of Maryand, tbe prohibition candidate
in 1896, reoeived only 132,007 votes.
Tbe vote for John G. Woolley of
Illinois in 1900 rose to 208,914 votes,
and Silas C. Swallow of Pennsylvania
was given 258,536 votes in 1904.
It is thus seen that nationally tbe
prohibitionist party barely helddts
owu from 1892 down to tbe last presi
dential eleotion. But the indications
now are for a much larger prohibition
ypte than was ever before given for a
presidential candidate.
Whether i tbe prohibitionists have
strengthened their cause by putting out
a mixed platform rather than a dec
laration of principles restricted to
their main- issue is a question upon
wbioh prohibitionists themselves are
divided, i Tbey have put into their
platforms this year an even dozen
planks dealing with questions that are
in no wise correlated with prohibition,1
ranging all tbe way from snob eoono-f
mio problems as tbe tariff into the
realm of suob social questions as the
sex evil and marriage aud divorce
laws. t
Not even tbe most hopeful and ar
dent prohibitionists can seriously en
tertain a belief that their presidential
candidate will be elected next Novem
ber, but tbe vote will be awaited with
much interest by reason of tbe growth
of publio sentiment against tbe saloon
evil. Spokesman-Review.
