S., says more people are killed by giving warning of coming tornado than die from the tornadoes themselves. That is, many .arc frightened to death by the pros pects of the tornado that may do them no harm. It doesn't take much to scare many people in this world. Just a lit tic thing may set them going like a wild man. WOST KIND OF MILITARY ROT 't appears that the distinguished .military experts oi l'rancc and Ger many i-re strenuously at work to show that the United States and Japan must light. The argument of the 'German experts is that the conlr-jl of the Pacific is essential to the com mercial existence of Japan, and tha: in order to maintain this supremacy Japan must have the control of Guam and Hawaii as coaling stations and bases of supply. Hut can Ja.iau con trol the Pacilic? Will not- hngiund, Germany, l'rancc, Russia and other luirtipean powers have something to say with reference to the control of the racihcf Great lintain is easily five times as powerful on the sea as Japan, and yet she does not pretend to control the Atlantic or even the Mediic-r.incai . i which she holds lioth the gates Suez and Gibraltar. the Mediterranean is an open sea. Japan cannot control the Pacific. It is doubtful if she could control the inland sea of Japan, to say nothing of ine rcllow sea, tlio sea ot China, and other contiguous waters. The Pacific is by odds the biggest of oceans, and no nation or nations can control it. "V.NT A BUSINESS Ba'SIS. Here is a good expression of the value of a Northwest sales agency: hi seeking to control the distribu tion oi lIicii- crops through the organ isation of a central sales agency, I lie growers of the Northwest have no in Iciillou ui an attempt to corner the apple or peach market. Their sole aim is to put the orchard industry fn a business basis; by eliminating some -of the speculative uncertainties that j, re vail today. Such an organization A-VHild operate in favor of liie legiti mate dealer today. Such an organisa tion would operate in favor of the le gitimate dealer and the consumer as well. The greatest obstacle to be overcome is to make the powers themselves appreciate these facts. Many have feared that the proposition iti loo large to handle. To them the sitting oi a $IO,(XXJ,()tlO eroo looks like .a stupendous job, because they don't slop lo consider that I hero are many far larger business entei prises successfully c nduclcd ill the country today. How;, er, there arc enough districts far-.. fouled enough lo see that the proposed organization oilers hope for heller conditions and there is every probability to believe Ihat' it will become effective this year, even if not all the Northwest districts do i'ome iii al the start. il... . .

HILL'S OFFER. A letter addi eased to President H. f . Crooks, of tbe college, was received to day from J as.

It is for investment for general purposes. Tnee is practically 8140,000 now to raise, and a bit; effort will be made t- secure it, this gift being a splendiJ leverage for the purpose. DOINGS OF THE WORLD T. R. SPOKE AT ALBANY, While Hc-re Seven Minutes. The Shasta Limited arrived wi.h Ex-President Roosevelt ahead of time this noon, remaining seven minutes. An immense crowd was out to see and hear him, but only part of them were successful. He appeared at the froot of the rear car on tne south side of the train an unexpected place; .ut the Democrat man was there, at the steps, and got a good view of the dis tinguished statesman and lion hunter, tne man of character, tut erratic. After the noise had subsided he said: Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleas ure for me to be up in Oregon again and see you, I understand there are soma .twins here. That suits me. I like tbe Oregon stock, and am glad to see it kept up, which I have observed as I came down this winding and beau tiful valley, seeing your people. You have such a state and people as will make a great commonwealth out of it In leadership you are looked to to set the example to all of ub. Fundament ally we need just the fidelity and hon esty you have shown. It is not genius but the spirit displayed by the old soldiers, with their staid qualities, car rying bis share in government, that counts. You don't have to look over your shoulder to see him, and hejis worth tying to. I don't care what a man hi, whether a bricklayer or what, what we want is true manhood. Theright stuff is not only good tor citizenship bnt we want developed the same qualities in reference to matters of state." And the tram sped on towards Port- MISFITS. ahecw your ceeth.

CIRCUIT COURT. Eugene's Election. t Why so much fuss over the arrival of Ex-President T. K. Roosevelt in Oregon? It is probably plain enough, lln has done things, the most con spicuous man in the world for several years. When he retired from tin nresidencv. after an eventful adminis tration, he did lint retire to some se .qucslcred spot and go to farming; but lie kept in the public eye, making speeches and hunting lions. 11c may have ben lost sight of fur a few weeks, but he emerged more conspicuous than ever. He docs tilings, and then some more, and keens everlastingly at it, a man of enormous energy. 1'cr bans the most erratic man of them all, v.iiii,. times floinir irreat things, some times fool things a school boy would nut do. but always something, and tli:il strikes the Dllblic.
