ABOUT NICARAGUA. Everybody seems to be asking, in view of present developments, what, exactly, is Nicaragua, how large is it, what are its resources, commerce and climate? Some interesting compari sons and facts, prepared by the In ternational Bureau of American Re publics, will help to answer these per tinent natural questions. There is only four square miles dif ference between the area of Nicaragua and the state of New York. It has a remarkable extent of coast line on two oceans. On the Caribbean, it reaches nearly 300 miles due north and south; on the Pacific, it extends 225 miles. Its greatest width is 275 miles, or ap proximately the distance from Wash ington to New York. Its least width is 125 miles, or app'roxitnately the dis tance from Chicago to the Mississippi river. It has the smallest population of any Central American country, but is correspondingly capable of great ma terial development. There arc only about 600,000 people within its limits. Of these, live- sixths are upon the western or Pacific side. The eastern or Caribbean shore lies low and drained by many rivers. The only in- clustry ol this section is the growing of bananas which were shipped in 1908 to the number of 1,500,000 bunches. valued at 50 cents a bunch. The prin cipal town here is lilucliclds, n litt south of the center, having 5,000 in habitants. Jt is 1,186 miles from New Orleans and 310 miles trom Colon The only other important places on this cast coast are Greytown, at the southern point, with 2,000 inhabitants, near the mouth of the San Juan river, which was to have been tne course of the Isthmian canal if built through JNicaragua, and Cape Gracilis a JJios. at the northern point, with only 1,500 people. Uu the populated I'acihc slope the chief cities arc Leon, the historic and interesting old capital, with 60,000 , inhabitants; Managua, the present cap ital. with 40.000: Mataealua. with 16. 000; Granada, with 12,01X1; and several other towns of from 5,000 to 10,000. The principal port on the Pacific side is Corinto, near the northern end, with only about 2,000 people. At the southern end is the harbor of San Juan del Sur. There is one railroad in Nicaragua which starts at Corinto and runs to Managua and thence across Granada on Lake Nicaragua, which is the larg est inland body of water in all Latin America. If one wishes to go to Nic aragua, he can take steamers on the Atlantic side from New York, New Orleans or Mobile. Going by Pacific he will take steamers from San Fran cisco or from coast points of other countries. Perhaps the quickest way to reach it today is cither through Mexico by rail and bv steamer from Salina Cruz to Corinto, or by steamer irom New urlcans direct to Minefields. The latter journey generally takes about four days. If, however, one lands on the cast coast, it is practical ly impossible to go to the west coast on account of the lack of railroads and other facilities. A common way to go to the west coast is via Panama and the Pacific side. I .The total value of the foreign trade o Nicaragua in 1908 amounted to $7,500,000, of which exports were $4, 500,000, and imports $3,000,000. Nica ragua bought from the United States textiles, clothing, machinery, etc., val ued at $1,300,000. She sold to the United Slates, bananas, coffee, rubber, mahogany, cattle, hides, etc., valued at $1 ,050,000. i .Nicaragua has a president, a cabinet with live ministers or secretaries, thir teen departments or stales, and live divisions like our tcrrilories. Its Na tional Assembly consists of only one chamber which is now in session. Lying between 10 degrees 45 min utes and 14 degrees 55 minutes north latitude, and between 83 degrees 11 minutes and 87 degrees 40 minutes west longitude, it is located all within the Iropics, but it has a considerable variety of climate. Although the cast coast is low-lying and very warm, the central and western sections arc in parts so mountainous and elevated that Ihe temperature never reaches a high point and the climate can be con sidered salubrious. The western sec lion, in which the greater part of the population is located, has such a vary ing latitude, and the country is so broken with lakes and so close to t he sea, that il is not by any means as hot as it would appear to be on the map. THE NEW CITY HALL. The people of Albany voted in a de cided way for a new city hall, and the council will undoubtedly proceed in Ihe proper way in time to have the work begun on one early in the spring. Already there is a discussion as lo the locality, with a variety of opinions. This is a matter that may be left without concern, to the city council, -which will make the selection, and whether it .shall be at the site of one of the engine houses, or whether they shall be sold and a corner lot selected, a good many people believing that it should be on some corner. The principal thing is the securing of the building needed in Ihe business of the cily, the present accommoda tions being entirely inadequate, be sides there is no vault security for the valuable records of the city, which will be a feature of the new slructure, and it is to be hoped there is no con tention over the matter of a site. Just leave it to Cannon and Atdrich. There is no use in congress wasting time. With the president and live members of the supreme court any law could be framed up and submitted to J, P. Morgan with much less trou ble and talk. Mrs. P. D. Gilbert left on a visit with Portland fri-.nds. SATURDAY NIGHT" THOUGHTS. This Cook controversy continues to keep in the first column, and it is not yet a settled matter whether Dr. Cook really discovered the pole, or whether his narration is a fake, as some arc strenuously claiming, dur ing the week a sensational article ap pearing to that effect in the New York Times, evidently a Peary organ. The Democrat continues to have faith in Dr. Cook and believes he was the first man at the pole. Anyway people should be willing to wait for the proof. Congress is in session, and that is something that ought to be decidedly prominent; but the public has gotten used to Congress, and has so little faith in its doings that it views with little concern its daily routine of do ings, unless something startling oc curs. The President's message ask ing for economy and retrenchment is not taken very seriously, many look ing upon it merely as a political play, instead of being a part of a real move for actual retrenchment. Perhaps there arc a good many bigger things than the weather; never theless since the last Saturday Night' Thoughts were put in cold type we have been having a big time of it with the clfntatc just the same, thir teen inches of snow, and then a wait for it to go off, which it did. Ore goniaus didn't enjoy it; but what right has any one to kick at the weath er, and particularly a resident of the Willamette Valley, where take it year after year we undoubtedly have the finest weather anywhere. That's what counts. 1 he business man who would be discouraged over two or three days of poor business, where the total busi ness of a year was large, would lack ill the elements of philosophy. In fact a few disagreeable days should make the better suited with common weather. For several weeks some interesting young people's meetings have been held in the city. While not large the attendance has been good, of a class of young people as a rule, earnestly seeking better things in their religious ives. Sonic people look upon a man's or woman's religion according to the speech or prayer he or she can make in a meeting; but after all, the true test, is not the amount of talking done; but the amount of service in the world; for the man serves the Lord best who serves his fellow man best. The man who shows his colors in his business and in society is the one who has the real stuff in his heart. An in spiration for better lives often comes from a good meeting; but spirituality on Sunday and commercialism and society all the rest of the time is not a combination that counts very heav ily when the balance is computed. GOOD ROADS. T-inn county for several years has been spending a good deal of money on roads, but it has been doing well in doing so. The money cannot be put lo better use. Put it to a vote of the people and they will declare al most unaniniously in favor of a liber al use of money in putting the roads of the county in first class condition. The county should particularly be lib eral in the improvement of the roads around the couuly seal, and in fact the other cities of the county, entitled to the improvement in the interest of Ihe trade of the county. RAILROAD RATES. The Eugene Guard recently paid f?1.0S a hundred on a car load lot of paper from Ihe east, and of this 33 cents was for the haul from Portland, only 12-1 miles. About a half as much for the short haul as for the entire carriage from Watertown, N. Y. to Portland over many different roads. The inter-state commerce commission should wake up enough to prevent mute so much of a diO'erence. Zelaya of Nicaragua is no worse than Diaz, the "Monster of Mexico;" but it is lots easier to experiment on the last letter of the alphabet than so near its beginning. Holiday Excursion Kates.

We should also have a city Jvirk, just the same. Albany's stores are great boosters. Albany Well the snow was a good deal deep er in some other places. Albany is about big enough for a night clerk at the post office. Anyway Willamette Valley snow is the nicest snow in the world. The assessors don't all seem to know what actual cash value of a thing Is. Some one Bays there are some gam bling places in Albany that should be stopped, i The best Christmas goods in the world at Albany! at least good enough for anybody. Whales live a thousand years. Think of the sport they have, without a care or responsibility. The least appreciation in this world comes from those who ought to be the most appreciative. Ihe thousands of weather prophets who miss it are never-heard from, just tnose wno nappen to guess correctly. me bicycles have begun running again, appreciated bv no one more than bv the carrier bovs who have had to wane during the snow era. At Butte, Mon., three couples waltz ed 14 hours and 41 minutes, out of 53 couples that started, in an endurance contest, without lood or even drink. 1 hey were properly stopped irom fur- mer uruiumy. A Kansas paper says: Kansas people do not have to go to Oregon to find a rainy season, we've got it right here, Nor for blizzards and snow drifts. Kansas has them. Oregon hasn't. Our little snow stays where it ib put, and for rain, we have just enough of it. There is nothing that makes a news paper man more weary than beintr asked for cash for a cause after giving in free advertising more than anyone eme, unu yet tins is a common occur rence in the lives of all the fellows. No wonder some of them get gray young. SENSATIONAL WILL SUIT. ' Judge J. N. Duncan today issued an un order setting aside the will of Seth H. Childs, who died at Kcukauna, Wis., May 28, 1908, at the age of 88 years, leaving ail his property, valued at $2150, to his daughter, Mrs. Elsie L. Hamil ton, but $5 to each son, E. A. Childs, now of Imperial, Calif., and Geo. S. Childs, of Lebanon. It is charged that Mrs. Hamilton came out here, secured undue influence over her father, old and not responsible mentally, induced him to sell his property, make his will in her favor, and with the cash go with her to her home, whoro he died. The will was filed for probate March 15. 1909, with G. L. Alexander nnd S. M. Gar hind as witnesses. The will was made Dec. 17, 1906, nt the age of 80 years. Geo. Childs is appointed administrator. Hewitt & Sox are attorneys for the Childs brothers. An Indoor Base Ball Game. Another indoor base ball game oc curred at the gym last night, between the Bankers and Aleo seniors.
