TO BUILD
TGtlW'S.
OREGON
The bet.t way to build p ft town
fs to staod by every man in the
place wbo does right, eays the Ore-1
gon City Press. V henevcr a man
fs doing ' well, di? not tear him!
down. All residents should be
partner!, not opponents, ; In all
livelihoods the more business your
rival does the more you will do.
ETyery business man who treats
customers honestly, courteously
and fair will get his share, and the
more business that can be secured
ty united efforf the better it will
t fot all., WbetJ s town ceases to
f row it begins to die, and the more
jieople- try to kill each other in
their business the more readily
will utter ruin come to all. Stand
together for the advancement of
every citizen. If a man shows
ability to prosper, do not pull him
back through jealousy, or weight
hi in down by a cold indifference.
Portland, and Oregon, and the
entire Pacific Nortbwest for that
matter, have reason to feel proud of
the wonderful performance of the
foVpedo boat Davis on her recent
trial trip. The craft was built to
attain a maximum (speed of 22 J
knots, but she exceeded that and
made the phenomenal record of
23 knots, reaching at one time
23 knots. Oregon is all right
whether she undertakes to build
ships, raise wheat or produce fruit,
bops, beef or mutton. Glorious

An Irishman, in order tccele
Irate the advent of a new era, went
out on s little lark. He didn't get
home until 3 o'clock in the morn
ing, and was barely in the house
when a nurse rushed up and, uncov
ering a bunch of soft goods, showed
him triplets. The Irishman looked
Bp at the clock which said three,
and then at the three of a kind in
the nurse's arms, and said: "Oi'm
rot superstitious, but thank heaven
thot Oi didn't come home at twilve."

It is alleged that Brigham II.
Roberts, wbo was recently elected
to congress from Utah, is an avow
ctl polygamist. If such is the case
it begins to look as though the
plural marriage phase of the Mor
mon question was not altogether
settled when Utah was admitted to
statehood. Congress will probably
take some action in the matter,
and a general rehearing of the Mor
mon question may be expected.
Senator M. 8. Quay, of Penn
sylvania, has been indicted by the
grand jury for conspiracy and the
unlawful use of State money which
was on deposit in his bank. This
makes a somewhat embarrassing
situation for Matt, and also for the
TijeDohers of the legislature of his
state. It remains' to be seen wheth
er politics or common decency will
get the best of the scrap.
