JABS.
By Jones
Of all the hogs who roam the land
with greedy eyes and snout the one
that lies down in the trough with all
his kind about, the land hog, is the
blamdcst hog that grunts, beyond a
doubt.
The beef trust is safe. All trusts
are cood trusts that come through
about election time, and 13. T. came
through.
Portland property is on the boost
from now on. Land is selling at a
rapid advance not only in the sub
urbs but in the heart of the city.
Portland cannot live without the
country. It is a great wen on the
body politic. It is the source of more
political corruption anu commerciti
niracv than anv other city in Oregon.
But we must ship and sell our stuff
F.Iprtlrir linp .ire hut feehlv devclon
ing the possibilities of Oregon. They
would make dollars where they now
make dimes it tncy wottiu carry pas
cinirirs for n rent a mile. The tim
idity of the average electric line is
only equalled by its cupidity.
There are lots of farms advertised
for sale in Oregon for $50 an acre.
An acre of land in the heart ot fort
land is worth over two million dollars
an acre. There are several such acres.
There arc not farm lands in use in
anv countv in the state that irrcsncc
tive of improvements are worth as
much as two acres ot land in fort
land. The value of two acres of Fort
land land.with Third and Washing
ton as the center of the tract, would
make a strip of farming land at fifty
dollars an acre one hundred and twen
ty-five miles long.
CONGRESSMAN HAWLEY.
Congressman Hawley will be a can
didate for reelection. A clean man .in
his personal habits, politically he has
tailed to make good, lie nas sioou in
with Cannon on practically everything,
and eighteen out of twenty western
people are opposed to Cannonism. He
nas 5ioou in wiin iuih.ii iu ma tn
famous high tariff schedules, and the
masses are opposed to this policy and
have so declared in various ways, re
gardless of politics. lie is said to
favor the ship-subsidy bill, the worst
graft of the age, and western people
know it. With such a record are the
people going to reelect him? Will
even his own party endorse him in the
direct primaries? It is to. be re
gretted that a man of Mr. Hawlcy's
splendid personal standing is not with
the people on policies so vital to their
interests.
ABOUT THE SAME AS CONVIC
TION. The result of the Herman case,
(hough a disagreement, so far as the
public is conccrrcd, is a conviction.
Eleven to one ought to be so in prac
tice. Mcr- 'litm that according to the
evidence ; ' Hermann is probably
technically guilty- When he run for
office the lasttime people were pretty
well informed on the subject, but they
voted tor him any way, through the
inllucncc of a double hand-shake. Mr.
Hermann, evidence indicates, used his
public bllicc for the gain of Hermann..
At least eleven int-n, out of twelve,
have so decided. The Democrat was
surprised at the standing of the jury,
thinking that Hermann's old time po
litical pull would'help iu this trial.

EUGENE
According to the Sage Rooster.
Eugene, Feb. 15. The five miles of
street car extension planned for tl is
pring is a thing of the past.
The electric line bridge to be built at
Springfield is also in a very delicate
condition physically without much hope
of it this time.
The water works and taxes are still
growing.
The new P. O. building will soon be
ready for occupancy. The fiesco of
the old building is one any artist might
well travel miles to see and study.
A large tabernacle is running here to
its full capacity with Dr. Oliver in
charge.
Work has been resumed on new build
ings and many new ones will soon be
completed, and others commenced.
Wwn Albany is ready for the build
ing of the new P. O., it should try and
have the government put up a, modern
building, and don't go back to'the days
of our pilgrim fathers, and have win
dows with 8 by 10 lights, like Eugene's.
Eugene is a nice place with" a fine lot
of people, but Albany doesn't have to
take a back seat for Eugene or any
other place, and in time will outrank
Eugene.
The Sage Rooster made arrangements
to return to Eastern Oregon, his native
haunt, among the sanddomes; but by
persuasion and the promise of straw
berries all winter he is still here; but
he doesn't see the berries.

WALLA WALLA HAS $135,000
FIRE STARTED BY AN
OIL STOVE.
WALLA WALLA, Wash,
Goods valued at $135,000 went up in
smoke at the Motter-Wheeler depart
ment store this morning just as the
clerks were arriving to open up a large
"expansion sale." The fire quickly
gutted the building, except one bank
of shelves, and water completed the
damage. Tonight 40 employes are out
of work. While the fire department
was suppressing the flames a number
of the clerks stood amid the wreckage
weeping. The insurance on the stock
is estimated at $S2,000 and messages
have been sent for agents to come and
adjust the loss. Toinoirow morning
men will separate the damaged goods.
"I have been here 27 years," said
Manager W. P. Hooper, "and- this is
my first fire. I have seen many fires
i but this is the worst I have ever saw.
j One thing that has been gratifying is
I the kindness of my competitors."
I The fire started -from an oil stove
i in the "ad" department in a balcony
over the main floor, and successive
explosions of gas are given as .the
cause of the spread.
