A t aay timewhen requested to do so,
the paper w ill be oscontinued. But we
expect that all arrears w i.t be paid before
such request is made. It is easy to ask us
for a statement, which will be cheerfully
rendered at any time.
Disarmament i t not gaining in
Europe, but there is more caution
than formerly in «tricking a match
in international affairs.
In the Japanese army great care
is taken that the socks of soldiers
properly fit their feet. Attention
to such details has been known to
push through a long hike and win
a battle. -
W om an suffrage has made a
long stride in the states of the
American union. The English
militants ought to be able to see
that both their strategy and tactics
are at fault.
It is a pity that all the old
soldiers said to each other at
Gettysburg could not he recorded.
The swapping of reminiscences
would make a great story if it
could be preserved.
Three Great Days.
Three great days in the history
of this country, and in advance
ment of popular government
and true liberty throughout the
world, have fallen on the Fourth
of July. That first great day, when
representatives of a handful of
liberty loving people pledged their
lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor for the support of
a rebellion against the most power
ful government then on earth and
the founding of a new nation,
and when the liberty bell rang
out the glad announcement of a
new birth of freedom, and cracked,
is one whose influence has en
circled the earth. It has unshackl
ed the limbs of men from tyran
nical power the world over. A
new nation has just been born in
Asia because of it. M en every
where hold up their heads and
question, and over throw, the
authority of self-appointed and
hereditary rulers. And women,
inspired by the spirit of that day
and the deed done, also question
ancient and arbitrary authority,
and demand their rightful place
as coequals in the work of self-
government. -•
There was received at the Port
land market last week 1027 cattle
74 calves, 3784 hogs, 5372 sheep
and 21 horses. Beef cattle sole
around eight cents, calves at nine
cents; hogs as high as $9.15; sheep
$3.75 to $4.75. .
It would be strange if enterpris
ing men should invest their time
work and money in an effort
produce wool in our own country
and then not defend the industry
vigorously if it should he threaten
ed with destruction. But then, i
they did, it might be called an
** insidious" lobby.

The time is now ripe for Sher

selecting sample of grains, vegeta

■made at the various hand shows
this fall and winter. It is hoped
that every section o f the county will
come to the front with a liberal
quantity of their best products.

The forest service department
has recently taken up the work of
reclassification of lands in the
national forest resenps • with a
view to opening up for settlement
such agricultural lands as may now
be included within the reserve
boundaries. Under the plan for
this work the bureau of soils will
determine what soils are agricultur
al |h oharacter, experts of the for
est service will detemine whether
or not the value r r of the timber on
such lands is greater tfian the
agricultural valuation, and if not,
any lands which are found valuable
for agriculture and not needed for
public purposes will be immedi
ately opened to settlement and
entry under the homestead laws

mixtikahle to public opinion every

international rivalries and difference*,,
though numerous and severe, may be
settled without the carnage and the
horrors of war Although It ha unreu-
sonnble to disregard the possibility of
conflict .arising in the future out of
mutual or partial misunderstanding,
yet we gratefully recognise that the
chances of misunderstanding have
been largely eliminated by the degree
In which modern science has facilitat
ed Intercourse and accelerated com
munication. We are therefore encour
aged to hope that the development of
letters, science and the arts, of com
merce. Industry and finance, of mutual
knowledge, trust and good feeling on
the part of those who owe different
allegiances nnd who speak different
tongues may profitably absorb the en

l»ortunity for the display of the noblest
and finest traits of mind and of char
acter.
