Home' Locks Buncombe
The'hext state legislature will have
the question of locks at Oregon City up
again. CongresB has turned them down
and Will continue to do so, said to be
-due to a break of Col. Hofer. The
stream 1b a naviagablu one, and should
be looked after by tho government
not by Oregon
tkI. Lku ,
lhis state khould
father the locka. The Democrat was
opposed to its assuming even, half the
cost of buying the locks, as provided
by Borne of the politicians of the ataie
who caro little for the money of the
people. This paper is in favor of the
government buying the locks, and mak
ing them free. At the same time it
appreciates tho fact that it would prob
ably not make much difference, per
haps none, for there is a combine be
tween the railroads and boats, and the
chances are the transportation com
panies would simply make the fifty
cents a ton, and not the people. Any
way it is not a mattor tho atato should
assume.
The lockB have long been a thing for
politicians to seek to make capital out
of, and the samo old gamo will un
doubtedly be kept up.
Ki iliond ItiuMlnit Reports
According to reports in some of the
papers Mr. Harriman is about to build
tho Natron-Klumnth Falls road an. I
let most of the other roads go. It i.i
said that (be C. & E. is not being men
tioned at all in connection with the
projects to be pushed. As a matter of
fact it is probable that the papers don't
know anything about what Mr. Harri
man is going to do. IVopIo who have
watched tho many building reports of
the past few years will appreciate this,
for in most cases tlu-y have not trans
pired at all as first reported. What
will actually be the railroad situation
tho coming year will bo bettor known
when something happens and not until
then. It is as liable to be the Corvalli
. .and Eastern as anything.
A Display of Good Will.
Uncle Sam yesterday took out his
pocket book and gave Mr. Italy, a
friend in distress, $500,000, a fortune in
an Albany man's pocket. It was
splendid act, and redounds to the credit
of the country. Occasions like the
present are splendid tests of national
power and importance. It is a good
thing to give, when the heart throbs in
-ympathy. It is particularly great for
the people of one nation to show their
friendship for those of another. Act
like this will dispel the jealousies and
ill will of the century.
What's In a number.
When men make a special effort to
secure numbers 13 and 23 of hunters
license it doesn't look very much as if
they were afraid of superstition. In
fact tew people care for one number
any more than another, and not
everybody pays attention to the whims
of Fridays and new moons. Of course
there is nothing in such things, nor is
there anything particularly in securing
thirteen as a defiance. People do well,
though not to allow superdtititons to in
fluence them in the affairs of life.
There are all kinds of thieves, but
the Los Angeles thief who stole one
hundred tons of coal certainly deserves
the front seat.
A good resolution is a good thing to
keep. Don't throw it away.

A COMPOSER

Here is something fine from the Ex

She is on a visit to her San Francisco
home.and she will take a song back te

There is in Oregon a composer whose
name has been mentioned several times
in these columns. Father Dominic of
St. Benedict s Abbey, ot Mt. Angel, a
recent pupil of the German Humper
dinck. He writes excellent music,
ami through his compositions he and
Hugo Mansfeldt have become close
professional friends. Mr. Mans
feldt was the piano teacher to Miss
Ccllarius before the latter went to Ger
many for vocal study, nnd when look
ing about for a voice big nnd dramatic
enough for the performance of a Farher
Domonic song entitled "Mars," he
chose his for.ner pupil after several
others had failed.
The composer nf Mt. Angel was so
pleased with the reports of the new
interpretation of his ilranatic compo
sition that he dedicated to Miss Cellar
ius a now lullaby with words by the
Abbot Thomas of his monastery. The
new song, which is an exceedingly
dainty and poetic composition, was
ont to Mr. Manssoldt fur presentation
to tho singer. Koceivm,- i::a song too
late for delivery en ('.':ri tin is day, Mr.
Mansfeldt ca le.i Miss CelUrius by tel
ephone and played the new composition
for her while she was listening at the
other end of tho line, the plan proving
as successful as it was unique.
Both tho new lullaby and "Mars"
will be sung by Miss Cellarius at a re
cital which she is to give before return

Congress will not do anything with
the locks at Oregon City, and it trans
piros. according to the Oregonian, it is
all due to Col. Hofer, who was a mem
ber of the committee that met wi th the
river and harbor committee at Wash
ington, and of couase had to show his
sraartness, making this foo remark:
"Oh, it is all riitht, Mi. Burton, rfor
Senator Fulton to have his little bill for
the purchase of the Oregon, City locks,
but you and your committee need not
bother about that; the state is going to
take care of that matter; our legisla
ture is going to appropriate all the
money we need to buy that property."
This has killed it. It is not Oregon's
business and it should not buy the
locks.
