R. Koehler, who at one time practic ally run the Southern Pacific in Oregon, is now purchasing agent for the road. He is a valuable man for the road in any capacity. A mention of Polk county without referring to its Angora goats and their mohair does an injustice to the entire rivillzed world, and the paper or per. son who does it will have the whole of Polk county jump upon them, Rut for these peace negotiations most people would have forgotten that there was a Portsmouth, w. n. mey probably wanted some place to meet, where it would be so quiet there would be no danger of disturbance from the outside world. Everybody is taking it for granted hntthe Deace negotiations between Russia and Japan will fail. The Demo crat made that statement at the very fit mention of it. At the samo time the commission might fool the people and it is to be hoped does. It is sug gested that in case there is failure the President may head a movement to tnr non re. A srreat idea, but it is doubtful if it would have mucli effect. Mr. Harriman promised that the Col umbia Southern should bo extended, This is the m-oner thing for a big syn Mnet tn do. A road is needed badly along the eastern side of the Cascade mountains.. One is certainly needed from the north, but in perhaps a great er degree one is needed from this side of the mountains, crossing into Crook conuty and forming a junction with the road from the north, going thence east to the state's boundry line, forming part of a transcontinental lino. It will De yery satisfactory to Linn county peo ple if it at least reaches Crook county and gives us transportation facilities in connection with business of that part nf the Btate. It is in order for the The Great Willamette Vjlley. In the Western part of Oregon situ ated between the Cascades ana tne Coast Ranee is the Great Willamette Valley. This valley which is so lavoraoiy lo cated is drained by the beautiful Wil lamette river. In this land of sunshine and flowers the people of the East find refuge from the deadly summer heat and in winter from the equally severe winter weather, However, this Paradise has not long been known to the civilized world. Only one short century ago, the people of the eastern states and of tie foreign countries thought no country existed in this world which was so nearly perfect. If the brave Captains Lewis and Clark had not lived it is quite probable this land of ours would have remained in oblivion many years longer. In the Spring of 1804 these brave hearted men with their sturdy follow ers left home and friends not only for the sake of their own fortunes but for katfaOTviont nf tha wnrlH. These while other diseases and complications are sure to follow. The water seems to possess a remark able effect on rheumatism, which it seems to drive entirely from the system. One man who had been on crutches for over twenty years abandoned them after he had taken the fifth bath and has not used them since. Many other phenominal cures for rheumatism are among the wonders wrought by these waters. Stomach and kidney troubles seem to yield rapidly to their power, as relief in nearly every case is experi enced almost from the beginning. The tonic effect of the water i3 great, containing rich quantities of iron, and those suffering from blood disorders, general debility, skin diseases and ca tarrh have almost without exception been benefited and cured by its use."

The Japan- ese demands are not to be officially made known, Russia desires that they be made public, and hopes to effect public opinion and compell Japan to de crease her demands.

The verdict seems to be that we are short' on wheat and long on hay, with various reports on other things, making altogether probably an average crop ofiproducts which go to make up the business of the farmer. This indi cates an average business season the coming year. After all that is about all life is, an average proposition, ups an l downs, shorts and longs, wides and narrows, little and big, this and that.

Reinburse ment of the expenses snstained in tha prosecution of the war and the cession of the Island of Sakhalin constitutes the main features of the peace condi tions. The cession of the Russian leases to the Liatoung Peninsula, comprising Port Aathur and Dalny. The evacuation of the entire province of Manchuria, the retrocession to Chi na of any privileges Russia may have in the province and the recognition by Russia of the principle of the "open door." The cession to Japan of the Chi- nese Eastern Railway below Harbin, the main line through Northern Man churia to Vladivostok to remain Rus sian property. ine recognition oi tne Japanese pro tectorate over Corea. The grant of fishing rights in Siberia northward from Vladivostok. The relinquishment to Japan of the Russian warships interned in neutral ports.

" Mr. Walker tells 'lis sl.o ies in an in teresting way. The Lebanon Fires. E. A. : A forest fire got a start yes terday a few miles east of this place and a lot of valuable timber has been destroyed. The farmers of the neigh borhood, including two threshing crews, have been making a desperate fight astainst the flames, and it is thought they now have it under control. The homes of John Smith, J F. Chastain and Henry Mills had narrow escapes from :ho flames. It is the business of the manager of a newspaper to decide what shall go in his paper as much as it is the business of a merchant to decide what goods shall go into his store for sale. He is the one responsible. Seattle claims a population under a census just taken under the direction of the secretary of state, of 154.703. This is spreading it on pretty thick, and it is no wonder that Portland, the larger city, winces at 110,000. The greatest educational event in Oregon this year will be the congress at the Lewis and Clark fair the last of this month. It takes the place of in stitutes generally, and every teacher should then make it a point to attend The Oregonian is now busy showing up Harriman. Mr. Harriman comes out here once a year or so, makes big promises, goes back east nnd nothing is done. For nearly twenty years the railroads have practically done nothing in Oregon but take out millions for transportation. The Eugene Guard accuses the boy3 of that city of selling poor fruit at the depot, fruit not creditable to the coun ty. The Democrat does not hear of any such charges here. The boys get the best they can, competition requiring it, and are endeavoring to treat the passengers white and to merit their latronage. The ice cream they sell in ittle pasteboard boxes cannot be beat in Oregon, and these warm days is proving very refreshing U passengers. The Democrat to-day turned down a circulation increasing scheme, of the semi-lottery character.a voting contest! affair, because it nas come to tne con clusion that such affairs are contrary to good business methods. Those who take tho Dcmo ;rat do so because of its newsy character and not because they can get a house and lot or a free trip to the Lewis and Clark fair. The same theory which makes trading stamps and such things objectionable to the mercantile businesc certainly applies as much to the newspaper business. Peter Bither, of Brownsville, was in the city this forenoon. "Judge George Barton returned to Portland this morning. PERMANENTLY ORGANIZED. Business Men's The Albany League. The business men of f- e city met at the Alco Club parlors last night and formally completed the organization of the Albany Business Men's League.

F. M. French treasurer. W. B.' Stevens, Chas. Knecht, Geo. E. Sanders, William Fortmiller and J. L. Tomlinson directors. Questions of interest to the business of the city were discussed, including hitching racks around the court house block, which were favored. Tho members of the League have be gun work in splendid harmony giving promise of good results in the future both for the mutual protection against all manner of objectionable schemes, and as well for the promotion of a healthy business generally in the city.
