Our dear brotlu r in Christ, w ho s tovr
cvl the late republican campaign with
such elegant success- for the democrats,
now wants us to get oft the earth and
Way off. We lately Jul a small job- for
the 4th of July committee at Senppoose,
uml when our meek friend found it out
lie nearly hail heart failure and stormed
around like a man in a fit of anger. We
are sorry to give our considerate friend
ho much annoyance but are in no osi
tion to offer consolation, unless lie will
advertise in-tho Rkokter. Should he
conclude to do this he will realize such
an increase in trade as will cause him to
looec sight of all personal matters. Oar

Rainier is coming to the front as a
manufacturii g city. The latest industry
to find lodgment within her" borders is
an immense sonp factory. The Treston
Manufacturing Company, incorporate!
with a capital stock of $ 100,000, is pre
paring to commence actiyc operations in
Rainier. The company 'has purchased
a tract of river front just above the
IHanchard mill aud will immediately set
about the erection of a two story factory
building 40x60 feet and a dry house
two e. orles 24x24 feet. The manufact
ured product will find a ready sale, as
there are only one or two other factories
of the khul on this coast. The soap is
a natural mineral product, a perfect
antiseptic, and one of the best known
lie infectants. Wc have made a trial of
the soap and find that it is not only a
great cleanser, but it leaves the flesh
soft and smooth. It is much better for
scouring than sa polio as it has none of
the gi it found in that excellent soap.
A; large block of the capital stock has
been taken by the Capitalists of Rainier.
There is no question but that the Rain
ier soap factory will prove one of the
Lest industries of Columbia county, and
the, Recisteh is glad to see the '. city of
'Rainier pusning to the front and secur
ing such enterprises. -''
The indications for the present are
not very favorable for the laying up of
winter stores by the vorkmen in this
section of country- There are too many
men coming west who have no money,
and must depend- upon their earnings
fdr their immediate wants. The man
who has a job and can lay by a few dol
lars each week for a rainy day is very
fortunate. Times are growing harder
day by day. And it looks now as tho
the times of 181)3 may be repeated again
in 1905. A great many tradesmen came
west looking for work on account of the
1905 fair. Most of them will be doomed
'to disappointment as the work of the
mechanic will not be increased in the
'same ratio as the increase of workmen.
Many of the mills and factories are
shutting down for a short time each
year to stop the over production. Some
of the logging camps have closed down
indefinitely, the owners of the timber
claiming that it is better to let their
'.timber stand until times are better, as
'it will continue to grow into money.
'Then,, too we find the banks- are closing
down on" long time loans. Everything
points to harder times ahead. Of
course we always experience hard times
orrather close times just "prior to a
'.presidental election, but as there is little
hope of a change in the presidency or in
congress either for that matter, there is
no reason for any depression on that
.account. Then too, the great strikes in
i the mining districts indicate that there
ris something wrong there. The proper
-'way to' head off hard times is for the
laboring man to save up his earnings
.'and be prepared for a close down at any
time.
. "We have just received an account of
an incident at the city of Clatskanie
hat is not at all flattering to the gov
ernment of the place A certain young
jBter'abotit 18 years of age went into one
of tho saloons' of the city in company
;with the- town marshal and another
gentleman and called for a glass of beer.
The ealooir man demurred to giving the
,becrto the youngster, but the other
gentleman vouched for him, saying:
"He's all right." After drinking the
beer the marshal arrested the young
man who-wae under age. Just what
, ame of the suit is not reported -to us,
but it is asserted that nothing was done
io the man who sold the liquor without
sanction of law. It does not matter if
.the marshal and the deputy district at
torney and eyen if all the city fathers of
the town pf Clatskanie should vouch for
tbe youth that he was all right the
saloon man violated the law and should
.have received the same punishment as
the boy.- However it is" said that it will
be impossible ito convict any one for'
Violating the saloon laws. And from
the number of boys under twenty-one

THE OREGON BUILDING.
That the Oregon state commission
acted wisely when they decided on a
replica of old Fort Clatsop for the Ore
gon building at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition has been proven- by the
crowds of people that have passed
through the quaint structure ever since
the opening day of the St. Louis fair.
The feature of the Oregon building is
its homelike simplicity. Visitors awed
by the portentious mansions .of other
commonwealths havo no-hesitancy on
crossing the threshold of rhe little log
cabin on tho top of the rising grounds
near the center of the exposition site.
A feature that adds greatly to the euc
cess of tho Oregon building is the fact
that it is situated in a small grove. Out
in the opening tho building would not
be imposing, but nestled sway in the
shade, it is-very inviting on a hot day.
The logs and timbers for the building
were shipped from Rainier by the Wilson-Case
Lumber company, under the
supervision of T. A. Lceper, of Rainie
Since tho opening day four thousand
visitors have signed the register. The
big moin hall in the front of- the build
ing, on the east side of which stands a
regular old fashioned fireplace, is always
full of sightseers who want to havo a
look at things. Some are of the grim,
determined sort, who have made up
their minds to see everything on the
grmnds come what will. Most of these
hurry in one door, grab np two or- three
pictures, take o hasty glance at the in
terior of the house, scan the guide book
for an instant; and then ask ono quest
ion, and skip on to the next building.
Sometimes they don't even speak, just
look around, and hurry on. Thev are
simi.ly trying to break all records for
fast sightseeing, and most of them, are
successful.
Oregon's Mineral Exhibit.
The International Miner, published at
St. Louis, in a special edition, says of
the Oregon Mineral exhibit: ' -
One of the happiest conceptions in
the mines building at the world's fair is
one conceived by Fredrick R. Mellis,
superintendent of the Oregon mineral
exhibit. Out of the Enacw utilized by
him for office purposes he has-evolved
what is now popularly known by every
visitor as the Oregon mineral palace.
This crea'tion of the beautiful and: utili
tarian combined occupies a space of
10x14 feet and is about 15 feet high.
The whole exterior is Btudded with
bright, glistening gold, silver, copper,
galena, nickel, cobalt and cinnibar spci
mens, while the terraced roof is filled
with chnnks of gold-bearing qaartz.
The facade surrounding the structure
has four signs, representing gold nug
gets and forming the word "Oregon,"
which confronts the sightseers at all
sides of the miniature mineral palace.
The corner columns supporting the
structure are covered with photographs
of mines and their workings.
Surrounding this unique product of in
ventive ingenuity is the exhibit proper,
which consists of all the minerals found
in the wonderfully favored state of Ore
gon. With the exception of four long
tables, weighed down with heavy speci
mens of commercial ores, everything is
housed in plate glass floor and wall
show cases. Two 8-foot plate glass floor
cases are veritable jewelry caskets, dis
playing gold nuggets, gold quartz, gold
buttons; gold bars and polished gold
specimens. Another contains nothing
but copper, but in the collection are
some of the richest -copper specimens
that the eyes of a mining expert ever
feasted upon.
The other floor cases are filled with
silver and galena ores, cinnabar, cobalt,
nickel, petrifactions of all kinds, agates
dnd crystals, most of them polished, dis
closing nature's freaks to the best ad
vantage. Highly polished oak wall cases are de
voted to each gold producing county in
the state, each district occupying its in
dividual Bpace. Every specimen in the
mammoth collection is artistically lab
elled, thus obviating the necessity of
hunting for descriptions in a catalogue.
Handsomely framed photographs of
mines, equipment and mining opera
tions are tastefully scattered throughout
the exhibit and the effect of the tout
ensemble is one of untold wealth, await
ing the intelligent touch of industrious
enterprise.

L. SWETT, RAINIER, OREGON.
Brutally Tortured.
A case came to light that for persistent
anil unmerciful torture has perhaps
never been equalled. Joo (io'oliok of
Colusa, Cal.f., writes: "Forl5vears 1
endured irsulTerable pain from Rheuma
tism and nothing relcivcd me though I
tried everything known. I came across
Kloetrie Hitters and it's the greatest
medicine otr earth for that trouble. A

cured me." Just as good for Liver and

That the present registration law of
Oregon W a useless institution as far as
the 8m;;ller towns and cities and coun
try districts of the state are concerned
is conceded in many quarters, and there
is not a little agitation in the country
press of Oregon, revived by the recent
election, for its abolishment, or at least
for the confining of its applicat'on to
Tortland, and perhaps one or two of the
other larger communities of the state.
It was enacted as a measure to shut out
illegal voting in the state. There is
practically no chance for illegal voting
anywhere in Oregon, except iu a city
like Tortland ; or perhaps in .Astoria,
where there is a considerable floating
population. Country people resent the'
exactions of registration laws as an in
fringement of their rights, and as an
uncalled-for and unnecessary encumber
ing of the franchise. Besides, it is nr
sued that the provision of the present
law, which allows six free-holders to
certify to tho qualifications of an elector
is a lame place that serves to often- de
feat the purpose of the law. Thir pro
vision was made for the releif of actual
voters who might find it impossible to
register during the time prescribed for
registration, and seemed just, but when
opportunity i-, taken to abuso its privi
leges it thwarts all the purposes of the
law, and allows anybody and everybody
to vote. Ashland Tidinps.
Thursday of last week at 12 o'clock
high noon, Theodora Roosevelt was
nominated for the presidency. With
one exception, that of President Grant,
he is the youngest man, should he sue
ceod in the election, ever elected to the
presidency.
The Nebraska delegation to the Na
tional prohibition convention went in
structed to present the name of A. G.
Wolffenbarger as a candidate for the
nomination for president. Mr.Wolffan
barger is a fine journalist, having served
his apprenticeship in the s.ime office
along with the editor of this sheet. We
like you "Wolf," but fear there is no
show for your election even if you suc
ceed in getting the nomination.
TheTen Mill Road Fund.
Trior to the June election Dr. lioss
made a statement relative to county
funds and the amount controlled bv the
county court. While he did not state
directly that the county court did not
control the ten mill road levy, yet it
was implied that the court did not con
trol that fund.
Below we publish a statement of the
amount of funds raised by the ten mili
tax; how it was apportioned; amount
worked out; amount on hand and
amount not apportionee. Of this last
item $988.76 is not yet collected and
may not be until taxes become delin
quent. Of the amount on hand all work
for which warrants have not been issued
will be paid at the July term of county
court so you see that about all this
$18,229.32 has been apportioned by tlve
county court.
The amount to be used for re-building
the Clatskanie and Quincey bridges wili
have to be used hy special levy next
year or go over to be voted out of the
county general fund.

All this Is from ono newspaper on
oiio day, and yet tho Republicans aro
declaring tho whole country Is on too
top wavo of prosperity. Now, all tl
Industries quoted aro protected by tho
tariff from 30 to 100 per cent and
should be, according to the protection
lata, most prosperous, but llttlo if anjr,
forclgu goods cau competo with them
on account of the high duties imposed
ty tbo Dlngley bill. The prlco wbldi
tho peoplo pay for theso .products .1
much higher on account Of that protec
tion than It would bo If tho .tariff was
.reduced or abolished The overproduc
tion of these products has boon stlain
Jated by protection beyond what tho
consumers aro abjo to purchase, with.
.tho lnorltablo result of shutdowns, fail
ures or restricting the output until pur
chasers appear. Tho manufacturer
Jiavo "dumped" on tho foreign market
.all that cau be sold at . a much leas
ju'lco than they have sold bore for, but
iorclgn tariffs havo bccniralscd to pro
.tcct tho homo market of tboso coun
tries, except Euglnnd, and tho "dump
ing" Is not as profltaWo tis It was, and
.England can only tako what thojcop!o
can buy,
Theso shutdowns and Tednctlona
anuke It Impossible for tbo ldlo work
.men to purchase, and thus the borne
.market Is restricted for not only tbe "
articles they bavo been employed la
producing, but of. everything clso ex
.ccpt tho barest ueccHsulcs of life.
If this depression In so many protect
ed Industries lind occurred when .the
Democrats controlled legislation and
Jiad passed a bill to reform the tariff
of Its enormities, what n bowl would
so up X ro'in ithe Republicans that tbo
Democrats were ruining tbe country 1
But as tho (highest protection has becu

Republicans havo .had iull control of

there must bo something wrong with
the protection theory or In practice it
omy works when .the periodical "boom,,
comes nround. Will It pay to continue
