ORE.. FEB. 27 ..1914 President Wilson is faolog what ap pears to be insurmountable opposition tc the stand he baa taken with regard to Panama canal tolls. The Amer loan people bare the rigbt to expeot some slight advantage to onr com tneioe at Panama In retnrn for the immense investment tbe taxpayers of tbe country bave made (here. To - take any position other tban favoring free tolls for vessels in tbe coastwise trade, plaoes tbe government in tbe unenviable attitude of plaoing a beavy torden on its own people for tbe profit of foreign manufacturers . and ship ping syndicates, whose obief aim is and alwava baa been to pnt Amerioan oommeroe oat of business. ' Xbe Pitts burg Press pertinently says; - "There is as muoh reason for the! United States government's making the privately owned boats and barges carrying Pittsburg coal down tbe Ohio and Monongahela rivers pay toll as there ia for making American ships engaged not in tbe river trade tnt in tbe coastwise trade pay tolls for nsing tbe canal, whioh is an Ameiioan waterway tbe same as tbe Mononga bell or Ohio river. Tbe government is in faot spending nearly 120,000,000 every year to provide free waterways for privately owned steamboats in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, New York, Massachusetts, California, Ore eon and all other states. It bas no moral or constitutional rigbt to treat the tinaatwiae oommeroe otherwise tban as it treats tbe river oommeroe The trnth in a nutshell is tbat tbe lawyers who bave been hired by tbe transcontinental railroad monopoly to mislead public opinion into taking tbe British (and railroad) view of tbe matter have found It wise to attempt uo justification for it except the sol emn pledge tbat tbey allege we gave Great Britain In the Hay-Pannoefote tteaty that we would build a 500. 000,000 canal for her and prove tbat it was for her by shutting Amerioan vessels out of it unless tbey paid the same fee as Biitish vessels to get in. An examination of tbe treaty bas oonvinoed open minded lawyers, however, that the equality for all nations provided for in the treaty was merely a gnarantee of military neutrality and not a promise to Great Biitainthat we would spend $00, 000,000 of our own money on a water way and thon make Amerioan ships rinv for the nia of it. How can it be ST" said tbat to make onr shipowners con tribute to this $500,000,000 snd then pay the same tolls as English ships in atlultlon Is 'equality'? It is no equal ity bat dioailminaUon in favor of the Englishmen." The faot that Mr. Claude Reader is well known in this part of tbe ooouty, wonld be saSiolent gnarantee tbat were bis name to be editorially men tioned in any paper tbe Helix Ad vocate not exoepted it would lend a certain amount of weight to tbe ar ticle. Bat when the Helix editor. Mr. Frank Minor Smith, oonples Mr. Reader's name with an alleged grocery order, for advertising purposes, Mr. Frank Smith Minor is moukeyiug with the trnth so far as Athena merobants are conoerned. No Athena merohant was Interviewed by Mr. Reeder rela tive to prioes on groceiies, and know ing that gentleman's good reputation tor truth and veraoity, it would ap pear that it is op to Mr. Minor Smith Frank to explain why be oonneoted the name of a representative oltiseu with a cheap advertising soheme. The Department of Agrloulture U endeavoring to Interest boys between 10 and 18 years on southern farms in the breeding of good begs. It is tbe objeot of the department to enoonrage the young men to raise eooogh pork tor home consumption, and if possible asniplastor tbe market Pork can be niaiketed in many forms fiesh p::k, hams, bacon and sausage and can be produced so as to sell much cheaper tban beet. A shortage of beef means an increased demand for potk, and it seems reasonable that there should to a ready demand for all the available supply, this means money in the pocket of tbe toy hog taiser. The price of wool ia alteady loom ing at Paoiflo northwest points and there Is every reason to believe tbat still higher figures will be foiled be fore tbe ooming season's fleeoe is ready for delivety. Actual sales on eontraot are reported in tbe interior of Oregon and Idaho at 3 to 3 out a pound more than the same etuU was selling at tbe opening of tbe season a year ago. Not only is the market firmer and higher, bnt dealers are showing muoh anxiety to coutraot on tbe pres ent lasts. Approximately 800,000 aores elim inated from tbe Deschutes and Paul ina forests in Oregon will be open ,to settlement next April, the exaot date to be made public later. The majot portion of these lands will be snbjeot to 820 aore entry. The town of Umatilla burnished np a little last week and oairied a new charier by a majority of 13 votes in spaoial eleotion. Maybe tbe old Land ing will go some yet. BUSY TAIL OF A WHALE. Legend of the Origin of the Idea of the 8crew Propeller. The following extraordinarily Inter esting story is printed by tbe Marine Journal with the express stipulation that it cannot guarantee its authentic! ty, but gives it for what It is worth: ' 'Way back in 1858 tbe stout Dutch bark Groote Marie, Captain Vno der Brocck, bound from Amsterdam to the East Indies, became dismantled in try ing to round the Cape of Good Hope and, because of high seas, was in generally bnd plight Just as things were looking particularly black on in vestlgntlon of a terrlflc blow received by the vessel on ber high, square stern revealed the fact that a large whale bad crashed partly through tbe rear bonrds and bud got caught in the tim bers. Fortunately water wbich was pouring into the aft bold was prompt ly blown out through the open batch way by the struggling animal, and in endeavoring to release Itself tbe big mammal lushed the water with its tall so violently that It propelled the bark ahead at seven knots -an hour into Cape Town harbor. "It was In watching the mighty ef fect of the wbale's toll that the good captain conceived the idea of a screw propeller, but neither the Dutch mer chants of Cnpe Town nor bis brother skippers of Amsterdam were suffi ciently Interested In his tale to unite with bltn in patenting tbe device." In THE KING IS KING. No "Power Behind the Throne" England, It Is Said. It Is often asked who really inspires the kings attitude upon current ques tions of the duy and, more particular ly, who writes bis speeches' The king tukes, It is possible to state, tbe closest Interest In every lead Ing questlou of tho day, and, while be must of necessity take the advice of his responsible ministers, lie has views of bis own thnt he does not hesitate to pronounce whenever the occasion calls for it, while his speeches be "roughs out" entirely by himself. This draft of what bis majesty de sires to say is then passed on to tbe officials of the private secretaries' of fice, who prepare the speech In set form and submit it to bis majesty in formal language. This be goes through most carefully, and it often takes two or three rewrltings before the king Is thoroughly satisfied with it It may be said at once, however, that no words uttered by tbe king are ap proved until tbey have passed his most careful scrutiny. It is likewise possi ble to add that his majesty is an ex tremely good impromptu speaker and that some of his most notoblo utter ances bave been made without any previous preparation of any kind. London Gentlewoman. Didn't 8top. A young man who was with a party of motor tourists making a trip through the mountains decided to stop over In an attractive place for a few days and went into the hotel to ascer tain the rates. "What are your rates?" he inquired. "Seven dollars a duy, sir," was tbe reply. "If I stay," went on the man, "1 shall want a room on the parlor floor." "Tbnt will cost you $1 extra," said tho clerk. "1 shall also want a room with a fire place, where I can bave a Ore these chilly evenings." "One dollar more, sir." "And. of course," said tho tourist, "I wunt one with a bath also." "A dollar additional, sir." "Well," said the man thoughtfully, "how much will you charge to let me leave the hotel Just as I aiu?"-Pullt-ser MuguElne, "Good Morningl" When we are at our best a flood of life pours itself out in tbe simple old words "Good morningl" a flood of meaning which strains to express itself in a thousand ways, but has to be con tent with verbal symbols. Our phys ical and vital energies, our love, our playfulness, our stores' of gratitude for the world's past gifts, all that is calling as toward the future, comes rushing out in the time mellowed greeting. Tbe depths of as, tbe con centrated and Imprlsoued energy of our Inmost life, calls across the dis tance to tbe unseen depths of our fel low. Atlantic. Unmasked.
