IN Till: death of Senator Davis, of Min

brainiest leader, and the country one nf

Its most valued citlens and statesmen.
Mr. Davis was one of the few men who
have represented that state In the senate,

llll: MlNI.lt had nothing to say for or
Klst any candidate at the municipal
flection; it merely pointed out the issue
Involved and the voters did the rest.
Whenever the American, acting as the worthless real estate has become valuable '
outhplece of the Uoxcrs, indicated a ,uid a market 1 r rated for promising nilu
arelerence, the people evidently thought ' lug properties. All this has been accom-1
that a suitable pi, ice to laud a hamiitei

LAST week the Baker City Herald
iibllsheda yard and a half of philosophic
tprculation on "Ihe Oregon Hoodoo."
Ihe paper reaches the conclusion that'
there Is no in.itril.il, tangible reason tor
the well known fad that Oregon mines
are treated witli little consideration in cer
tain iiu.iiters, ami that a iral sine
enough hoodoo is the cause. Now, on
rcotul thought, wont the Herald mnless

I III: president's annual message, de
livered to iimgiess Monday, consisted n ,
itr.irly seventeen newspaper columns, or
about twrntv-ltve thousiinl woids. What
was it all about? I hat Is nl no import-s
amr and nut our iu ten thousand of his
"piospeinus suhjnls" will rrr know or

the Philippine islands, tossed his party a

tion.il tir.isuty anil "discussed other in.it
trrs."
A PHI sS dispatch Irom Portland, datrd 1
v,rsteiday, indicates a consolidation of the
Union Pacltu and Short Line. The dis
p.itch says; When the Union P.ulhc and
Oiegon SI10M Line close their others iu
this vlly, whUh will probably be before
J.iiiii.iiy 1st. it is said that .1. II. Lothrop,
general agent ot the Union Pacific, will
becoinr asstant grnrral Itelglit agent of
thr O. R. ,V N , R. B. Millet, who now
occupies that position iu the O. R N.
becoming general freight agent. W. E.
Conun, geueial agent ot the Short Line,
it Is said, will become general agent ot the
height department of the O. R. A N. at
Seattle.
Till: grand jury system is the last sur
viving illegitimate offspring of the Inqui
sition. Through it men who have not the
courage to meet their enemies, men who
know their Inability to settle personal
grievances, seek cowardly revenge. The
proceedings rwlore a grand jury are guard-'
ed by an oath of secrecy, and the wronged
individual against whom a wrongly
named "true bill" is found, has no re
dres. The man who employes tills
method of injuring another would be a
petty thief, sere he not afraid of being
caught. The man who voluntarily ap
pears as a witness before a grand jury,
to aid another hi such a coi temptihly .
cowardly fight, is a sneak thief by u.v
tine. Neither would hesitate to He, thus j
protected from consequences. j
IN ANOTMi:i column Is published an
editorial from the Salt Lake Mining Re
view on tile "coming boom," that Is pe
culiarly appropriate to this section. There
were those here eighteen months ago who
seemed to dread the approach of indus
trial and commercial activity, fearing that
somebody would call it a boom. Even
now one occasionally hears a regret ex
piessed, accompanied by a sigh, over the
fact that last winter this town experi
enced for a few months a kindergarten
boom. Such expressions have a tend-
1 nicy to make a live man A'e.iry. That
' little ripple of excitement did more good
lor the gold fields of eastern Oregon In
general and Sumpter in particlar than all
the efforts to attract outsMe attention to
