Hon. J. Clem to HU Friends. Fieewater, Or,, Nov. 23, 1903. To Old Friend! and Granger!: I am atill alive and keeping up some excitement ai oi old. We had fairly good crope of fruit of all kinds( and the grain raisers fared well, wben the crop and prices are considered. As to (be weather weftiad a Sue fall with sufficient rain for all purposes until Ibe Irrigation meeting, wben it commenced raining, and bas kept up a regular Webfoot per formance nntil today, appearances indi cate fair weather again.

A Maaeaobuaetts college proleasor has compiled a table ol the ages of love in men and women. He concludes tbat Cu pld'a dartB begin to do buelneaa as early as 3 years In the childhood of either eex ; that a woman'B heart matures at the age of 22, and a man's at 25. Great discov ery. This prolessor ought to reoelve a big salary, but he probably doesn't.

Saturday Nicht I liouahts. The Panama canal continues to be a leading factor in newspaper news throughout tbe country, and there is plenty of editorial talk siting with it, and eome thing' thrown in on tbe street. The business altogether is one of the most striking pieces of grand etand acta in the history ot the year, and it makes tbe peanut shucks rattle in the gallery . Back of it all is a story that has not jet appeared in the newspapers, it is ont of eight and.will be kept there .1 possible. Tbe United States is a great actor in the play, and that means there is smoke ruing and we may bave trouble in con nection witb it. That is something nations as well as people should keep out of and the Democrat'b policy ie peace, war only aB a last resort. A big nation should be manly the same as a big man. In Oregon tbe extra cession has con tinued is be a topic of interest. The sesnion having been called with the ex press purpose in view of "fixing np" the tax law there ebould be no other talk in connection with it, but already there la enough comment to indicate tbat eome of the members will nse their best efforts to rioa in other legislation, n i a session of some length may be expected Even if it is confined to tbe tax law alone some of the graft members may be de pended upon to make it ae long as patience will permit. Of coarse tbe Dbdo-cbat would like to see the Portage railway bi repealed and eome other tbinir done, hut it they were tackled there would never be a touohdown at an extra eeaeion, . Tbe Thanksgiving season struck us with full force this year. It has become somewhat like the 4th of July, noise, tbla foot ball, that firecracker and hurrah. Ab thanksgiving day it is a splendid thing. It le well tbat one day in tbe year be set apart for general tbankB for the many blessings that are bestowed upon those deserving a bleBB- ug. If a man pute his hand in tbe lire of course he gets burned, and It is his own fault that be Is not blessed, so if a ' man puts dry nowder In bis gun and loads it properly be will be apt to get tbe goose wben he fires. It ie a peculiarly constituted person who cannot u d something to be thankful for. Theie are plenty of negative things even if the cupboard ia empty. As waa expressed by some one ;we can be thanklnl we are not the poor turkeys. But that 1b not enough. The optimist finun no trouble in counting hla blessings even in the dark. A play was presented this week in the city, called Zaz. It represented the life of a vaudeville atar living with, a married man wthouttiie sanction o. the law. Of couree tbe statement that there are somethings in it trne to life may be coirect. nevertheless suoh plays being sensual In their character are of a nature to cause much barm. Even the Oregonian from a purely moral stauu- noint f cores such plays, properly, ana suggests that Ibe lime has come for the people to put them out oy refusing to attend such perlormancea. There are things in tbie world tbat may bave many duplicates, which bave no buBinese on tbe stage. White River leurnal. A Boclety has been formed In Kansas to DODnlarize goat meat as a table tit li cacv. To be sure, tbe eoolety does not expect to edncate people in tbe belief tbat tin-can -fed-goat-meat is as good as corn fed ox, all in one day, but the mem horn believe that one ia as good ae tbe miliar if vou can only make yourself think so aort of Ohristian science, as it were. 202s REl'OBTOF THE CONDITION nv TBI FIRST NATIONAL BANK, AT ALBANY, IN THE STATE OF ORKUON At tho cloao ol Imsluoss, Hot . 17th, 1003, Beaonrcei I ruiiMBti.1 illu-nunis aStl. ,007.47 ,2.10.80 .000.00 Ovorrralls,SN.'Url ml unsecured. 12, U.

A Washington Correspondent ay : Dsmocatic Senators are no and have always been in lavor of an isthmian canal, but tbey will oppose by all rnmus, at thilr disposal Ibe slcct.pl ol ibe ad ministration and tbe republican majority in Congress 10 over-ride tbe la by ne gotiatiog a canal treaty witb tbe con spiracy created Stale ol Panama, and iuey have reston to believe tbat tbey uan prevent tbe ratification of tbe propoetd treaty by tbe Senate. As regrettable ae was tbe over-baetv recognition of Pana ma as bd independent stale by thin gov ernment, it involved no violation o' law; bul tbe administration violated the Spooner act of tbe last OongresB wben it took tbe first ttep toward negotiating with dummies eet up for tbe purpose B new canal treaty with Panama. The Spooner act is so plain tbat be who runs tuay read and tbat no one can pretend to misunderstand. It directs tbe President to negotiate a treaty with tbe govern ment of Colombia lor tbe conetvini o a canal aci oss the Isthmus of Panama, and in the event of failure to make satis factory arrangements, to negotiate with Nicaragua for a canal over what ia kr own as tbe Nicaragua route. Tbe treaty with Colombia was rejected . Then, Inetead ot following tbe plain letter of tbe law, and opening negotiations with Nicar agua, tbe administration went into un derhanded busineeB of revolution in Co lombia in order to mate sure tbat the French Panama Canal Company get 810,000,000 lor its worthless property. In opposing tbe ratification ol a treaty with Panama the democrats will be merely standing by ibe law. THE STAMP OF TRUTH. Xlbany Residents Know It Well.
