Rockefc'ler's Ban. There h a persistent rumor in Wash ington that the Rockefeller banks have received a tip from the United States Treasury that the government bonds that mature next year are to be re funded. The Washington correspond ent of the Chicago Record-Herald gives a detailed account of how the Rocke feller banks are to profit by this prior information and says Secretary Shaw declines to elucidate. After showing that the National City B;ink is adver tising to pay $1,032.50 for a $1000 bond, be points out that while this sounds like a fine proposition, tlie National City Bank is n it in the ha!. it of putting out its mon;y at less than 1 per cent a year and that in paying 103 1 4 for the 1907 bonds, it really would make a profit of only three-quarters of 1 per cent if it held them with the expectation that they would be redeemed at maturity, nearly a year from now. Secretary Shaw, it is declared, would scarcely re tire the issue in advanee of maturity and pay a premium that would insure a profit above 103 1-4. "As to selling the bonds to small banks wanting them for the purpose of securing government deposits, it is pointed out that to afford the National City adequate returns on its invest ment, cost of advertising, etc., said small banksjwould have to pay a prem ium that would make their government deposits an expensive luxury, inasmuch as they would expect to have them re deemed within less than a year. "Therefore it is sought to cultivate the suspicion that the real purpose of the philantropic National City Bank is to gather in $50,000,000 or more of the bonds.iknowing they are to be ex changed shortly for 2 per cents, and be ing in apposition to make very favoi able terms with the government when $he refunding time comes." As thi3 Rockefeller bank is the one that demanded after the election ;f President McKinley that it should be given the insibe track, to reward it for its liberal subscriptions to the republi can campaign fund, the question that is beinn asked is, what has it done now to merit exclusive information and a chance to make millions, if not for lib eral subscriptions to the Roosevelt campaign fund two years ago. Whatever republican administration is in power, it does not seem possible to divorce this favored corporation from the Treasury of the United States. Am:i!c-ui Alnshlnery in The Daily Oregonian in a recent in terview with Frofe33or J. D. Horner on his return from Egypt gives out the information . :iat in that country Amer ican machii.uiy and produce have an uneven chance in competition with Eng land, France and Germany, whose rep resentatives are constantly on the ground. English brains and capital are opening the Nile Valley to new civiliza tion which is revolutionizing the mar kets of Egypt. England is shaping the destiny of Egypt, and England will ricver let go. Inference is, therefore, that the better positions and the mar kets for the best machinery will be open to the greatest nations. Owing to the distance, little or nothing was done to further our manufacturing in tereats in that locality until Secretary Hay took up the matter, but upon his sudden taking off his plans took "death dampness." The American Consulate at Aloxan dria says: "It is conceded in point of merit r.o nation can compote with Amorican ma chinery and distance and duties ought not to stifle American manufacturing interests abroad." If the Oregon delegation in Congress will call tho attention of the Secrotary of State to our interests in Egypt tho plans of Secretary Hay will yet bo con summated in placing our machinery and marketable produce un exhibition at least in Alexandria, tin rincipal port in Egypt. This n.oveino v. ovtry American will extol. Portland's North lind. The Orcgonian says: "The North End exists for tho purpose of robbery This refers to a part of the city filled with a lot of low divo3 of diltoront kinds, whore liquor is sold in the inter est of prosperity of Portland, and men and women do about as they please in the interest of liberty! I The North End dive is undoubtedly a very rotten section, and yet theso dives probably do l-?ss harm to Portland than some of the dives in tho heart of tho city, open places for the youths of tho town in their start downward, convenient re sorts for placing money that belongs to the family. After nil it isn t alway tho lowest dive that i) tho lowest. There are different kinds of robbery, and tho roundor isn't any worse than the manipulator of tho fashionable gambling game. The state fair is in session this week. It desorves tho hearty support of the people of tho Willamotto Valley. A utato fair is a Fpl?nJiJ exposition of the rescurces of a slate and should bt made much of in th i interest of progress. A Speech Held Buck.

Tho Democrat has always been en thusiastically for Albany, believing in its many good qualities as a home and business city, and will continue to b tho friend of tho city through thick and thin. Besides there is reason for it. As cities go Albany is a remark ably pretty city, clean in its physical qualities and clean in its citizenship It is well located for growth as an in land city, and already has a splendid start. All that is needed to make it continuo to go ahead, as it is now do ing is for tho people to work together for its advancement. Instead of knocking booming with good words. It may be true that a class of knocking and kicking does a city more good than harm, and yet, it is always to to de plored. It isn't pleasant to hear men go up and down the street and tell how dead the city is, when as a matter of fact business is a good deal bettor than in past years for tho corresponding months of tho year, always quiet, and the houses aro gradually filling, with many inquiries from people desiring a clean city in which to reside and educate their children, as well as for business. Elsewhero will bo found a statement of tho First National Bank. The total is tho biggest in tho history of the bunk, showing a remarkable increase over the report of only about Jtwo months ago, a fact which speaks for itsolf. , Tho DaMOUBAT is informed that the increase in tho other bank has also boon largo and emphatic. This m ums that thoro is a good deal more money hero for circulation and business purposes, and very decidedly indicates life instead of death. Now put a spike in this fact: Albany is goin to grow faster than ever be fore, and is going to be a more pros . croug city. J he College Route Colleges foster high schools.. The higher the standard of a few thehigher matters of education. Again, as it is 1 true that 7o per cent of a college- s students come from a radius of 60 miles, j so, 1 believe 80 per cent of Oregon graduates will settle in Oregon. Pro-! duction in the United States is almost in exact ratio with the average years Colleges train for public service. The . pnllpo-p-hrpil mnn if tm tn h.a tAank.

Isn't it business to raise that kind of fruit and put it up right,, as sound as a dollar. ' A Cruoit and a Pool. Congressman Fordney said there was more of persecution than prosecution in the case of the late Senator Mitchell, whereupon Mr. Heney jumped upon him with spikes in his shoes and de clares that the Congressman is not only a crook but a fool if he said any such thing, which is about tho size of it, for those who watched any of the evidence in the Mitchell case know that it was a just prosecution and that tho Senator was probably more guilty than proven. Noverless he is dead now, and it may be well to bury his faults with his body and remember him for the hotter side f his life. Mr. Fordney shouli not have rehashed the past. One hears occasionally about the big Eastern Oregon farmer with a yield of 100,000 bushels of wheat and an enor mous cleanup for the season, but after all there aren't many of him, and isn't a valley full of small farmers a better thing for a county or state. The eno r mous farm is on tho trust plan. It sounds big but it does not necessarily indicato prosperity for the largest num ber. Tho Great Northern Railroad ha yielded 900 per cent in 23 years in divi dends and rights and yet the railroads kick because tho people want rates re duced. Tho milin; wo.it In i chanJ.
