I HA I Is rather a bro.id statement which theHiilseSliiteMii.iii makes, when it de clares that American genius lias blaed Hie Ir.tll in all matters affecting the alfairs of man. A book as voluminous as n inn. gfesslonal lecord could be written proving ! mat stun Is not the case. I I HAT was a sensible interview with J. ' I . hngllsli which was published in the Portland lelegrain Saturday,' In which he pointed out the nerve of hoards ol trade, I and others, who expect mine owners to' 1 "fall over each other" in their anxiety to" auoininod.tle them in supplying valuable I gold specimens for exhibition. ! 1 IHAI brave American soldier, G. , Hudson, who was killed in Hie Philio pines and buried last week at San l;ran ' I iko, was a souol J. Nat Hudson, for! meriy tu Mimpter, and a brother of Mrs. Phllbrlck. He was widely and favorably Known an inrouu 1 this ski mi ni COUII- try, and his death is mourned by many friends. Till: San Francisco Mining and ScTe'iT' tilic Press declares that thediscovery of the claityde process of extracting gold Is the cause which led to the present .var be tween England and the Dutch republic In South Alrica. Few doubt that gold In the Hand Is thr moth c which actuates Eng land in prosecuting the war. These ores were not profitably worked until the ilauyde process was introduced there. I he yearly output now Is about a hundred million. EVERY nrtery in a persons hand is there for one purpose, and only one. That purpose Is 10 gather up the blood from every extremity of the hand, and return it to the heart. Portland should be to the state of Oregon what the heart is to the Individual the center around which life revolves. If the arteries cease to bring the blood back to the heart, the result is Inevitable death. This Is as surely true of Portland, though not to the same ex tent. Break the natural connection be tween Portland and the state at large, and there would be no cause for her ex istence. Tap the arteries and the veins half way, and turn back Um vital tide, and Portland loses half her inheritance nni) half her glory. Oregonlan. To change this labored metaphor to plain speech; if Portland should lose the trade of Oregon, Its name would .be Dennis. On the other hand, "tap the arteries and veins half way," and after a little com mercial rearrangement, the rest of the state wouldn't notice the difference. Port land is not only not the metaphorical heart of the state, it has none of its own and not much of a head. It is purely a com mercial town, made so by necessity, with out any effort of its own. The rich trade from the gold fields of eastern Oregon which it now receives, was called into ex isteuce by tlte enterprise of men from other cities. Our gold ledges would "have re 1 mained undeveloped a thousand years hence had it depended on Portland people. i Today if a mining proposition Is placed hefore these Portland merchants who are filing goods in Sumpter, they become suspicious .ind act as if the promoter were ! trying to sell a "gold brick," Instead of a iml.l mlnr.
