To establish a Stock Exchange and en
list the interest of I'orll md N Mich an un
dertaking Is no easy task. In the first
place people do not know anything about
such thing;.. Dealing In stocks uf any
kind is an almost unknown quantity with
them, and to gel In the way of it, or "in
the swim," as some would term It, is as
hard as to make water run up hill. And
yet we suppose it is so In all businesses.
You must be educated to It and learn how,
'just as the diygoods man must learn the
quality of his fabrics, just as the lawyer
must understand the technicalities of the
law, just as the carpenter must be able to 1
mark out with a line and a rule.
In this place I do not know that It Is any
worse than any others, but Ihey do say '
Portland people are the slowest people to '
"catch on" to anything. I hey are some
thing like the rat that smells the cheese, ,
but Is wary ol the entrance to the trap.
Perhaps the simile Is an uutortunate one,
but the application seems to tit. How
ever, it will serve our purpose in this case,
and we will let it stand. What we want
Portland has grown amidst the greatest
discouragements. How much more it
would have grown if stout hearts and will
lug hands had come to the front. Our
1 oldest inhabitants came here some years
ago and squatted. I hey have let the
town grow up all around them through
the energy of outsiders and in spite of
of them, until now you cannot move them
with dynamite. If you were to blow them
up ihey would drop back again In the
same old rut, and pull the moss over them
again.
We suppose we must wait until we
have a few more first-class funerals. It is

Eastern Oregon Better Than Alaska.
Will Shaw, formerly of Butte, Montana,
now a prominent attorney of Wallace,
Idaho, was in the city yesterday accom
panied by his sister, Mrs. Minnie G.
Stevens. They departed last evening for
a visit with their parents at Cove. Mr.
Shaw, who recently returned from Nome,
believes the Arctic camp Is a good place
to stay away from. "The gold fields of
eastern Oregon and Idaho," said Mr.
Shaw to a Republican reporter, "hold out
more alluring inducements by far than any
part of Alaska. Baker county, now as
