The capital of the state is too

it costs too much money, and too
much time, for the people of this
emotion :o be able to afford to go to
Salem to attend to their business.
A's a consequeuce very few Eastern
Oirogon people visit the state capi

Willamette valley dominates legis

propriation bills and, in short, the
government of the state. The
Bosses and the lobby throng to
Salem from Portland and other
near-by towns, and Eastern Oregon
lias no influence at the state capitoi
worth mentioning.
Just think of it for a moment.
The two Federal Senators are from
the Willamette valley, and both
Congressmen are from Western
Oregon, for, while The Dalles, from
which Representative Moody bails,
is nominally in Eastern Oregon, it
is really a suburb of Portland, and

interests. Yet Eastern Oregon is
nearly half the state in wealth and
population, and in 10 years will

Recent Work Which Is Up-to-Dat
and Finely llrustraterd.
There was introduced in Condon thit
week, by a hook man, Kllis' Standard
History ol tne Lmiwi Mates, in sit
volumes, in handsome bindings. The
work is of exceptional merit and the
priee admits of everv one having it.
The historv covert a period from the
year 400 A. I. to recent date, betides
being well written and historically re
liable; it ia nrofmeiv illustrated with
engravings and colored plates of climac
teric incidents in the various wars ol tne
United States. The colored pictures are
rich in appearance and add much to
tlt beauty ot the book. The marginal
reference it another helpful feature, ami
the work is indeied in the closing vol
ume to a nicety, to that anything can
be found in a moment. It is a history
for the stndent and a handy reference
work for the professional man or woman.

I have been oting since May of this

R. A. Hackett. I have fonnd it quite
satUfactorv. The characteristic features
of thit work are clearness and directness
of statement, making it everv where at
tractive and interesting. The salient
points of United States history are
brought out in strong relief, whiletrivial
details are omitted. It is not onlv nar
rative, but philosophical. No one can
read ita pages thoroughly without a
higher appreciation of the history of
tins country, aad without a deeper thrill
of patriotic fervor. J. b. Lander, City

By referring to your local papers you frequently note the ad. of interior '
