SOMETHING MUST BE DONE
During the last few weeks large
fires have demonstrated to the peo
ple of several towns in Oregon the
necessity of better fire protection.
They have also in each instance
demonstrated the procrastination
of the common council of each
place. Baker City and The Dalles
have suffered, also McMinnville
and in the latter place procrastina
tion of the common council is very
marked
Nearly all the council
men are doing business and how
many of them would like to have
their business run on the same
system as the city’s? It would be
safe to say that if their business was
run in like manner their profits
would grow less every day. The
council of this city and of Baker
City are alike.
About eighteen
months ago a large fire occurred in
that city. The city council held a
meeting and talked a great deal
but nothing was dono.
A short
time after another fire occurred,
more talk and nothing was done
This caused great indignation
amongst the energetic industrious
people who were in favor of better
fire protection. The moss back
element was in the ascendency and
held the town down. There came
a city election. A good strong
ticket composed of good, honest,
respectable men were put in the
field in opposition to the hold-the-
town-down element; and the pro
gressive men were elected. But as
luck would have it these men were
possessed of the spirit of procrasti
nation. Nothing was done and but
a short time ago property to the
value of $200,000 was destroyed
by fire. The present council of
this city seem determined to do
nothing toward better fire protec
tion, with the exception of one or
two and they are promptly sat
down upon.
In November next a city election
will be held, why not try the Baker
City idea, only not put men in
nomination who are troubled with
that vice procrastination. With a
council working for the upbuilding
of McMinnville, a council that is
willing to vote a tax upon the city
instead of letting the town be run
by the saloon men of the city,
McMinnville will amount to some
thing and not until then. This city
is just entering upon a new era and
if something is done to push it
ahead now, it will get a start which
no catastrope can overcome. Some
thing must be done and that some
thing quick if McMinnville ever
expects to be a city of prominence
in the state, She has the natural
advantages to do this if we push
them.
SQUELCHED
The favorite cry of the Republi
cans that Cleveland was unduly in
fluenced by British opinion ceased I
with his retaliation message. Wo
shall hear no more of this arrant
nonsense. From a political stand
point it has been a profitable cry
for the party that seems to lack the
courage to stand up and pluckily
facing a live issue, but beats a re
treat under cover of the sneer “its
English you know.” This mes
sage has shown the people of this
country that Mr. Cleveland has not
had the time to spend in wasting
words telling the people that he is
An American and believes iu Amer
ican principles, but when the emer
gency arises he has shown himself
to be a better American than any
of hie assailants. The accusation
of foreign influonce after this will
fall flat and be as useless as last
month’s moon shine. The English
press which has been so muchly
quoted by Republican newspapers
are now howling out that America
better look out or the British Bull
will be turned loose. This has been
caused by Mr. Cleveland’s retalia
tory message. An English paper
will not be quoted until after the
campaign when the future out
lookwill be discussed.
THE HOODLUM ELEMENT HAPPY
The capture of this article is not
original with us but is an expres
sion written by the editor of Phila
delphia Inquirer, an influential Re
publican paper. He says when the
Chinese are all driven out of the
United States, no doubt the Hood
lum element will be happy. The
Pacific coast people are called the
hoodlum element because they
want the Chinese to go. Here is
the article. Read it.
The Chinese must go—and they
must not come back. So the Dem
ocratic house has decreed, being
instigated thereto by a Pennsylvan
ia representative, who is understood
to be the mouth-piece of this pres
ent Democratic administration.
Those Chinese laborers who hap
pen to be within our borders at
present are not to be expelled; but
if they depart voluntarily they
may not return.
Nor will those
who have already gone, with the
expectation of returning, be per
mitted to come back. The treaty
just rejected by China provided
that they might return if they had
their families here or had debts
amounting to $ 1,000 to collect; but
Scott’s bill makes no allowance for
such trifling considerations. Most
of those who have gone out of the
country in the last six years with
the intention of returning have
been provided with our govern
ment’s written permission to return.
Mr. Scott’s bill expressly repudi
ates this contract, and says they
must stay out certificate or no cer
tificate. Well, this is certainly a
heroic way of dealing with tho dif
ficulty. Now, if Mr. Scott or some
other Democratic patriot will intro
duce a bill to drive all the Indians
into the Pacific ocean and one ex
tending the benefits of naturaliza
tion to European immigrants im

A good deal of uncertainty seems ;
to exist in the minds of the people ■ Humors
as to what is absolutely required
by the Imniestead and pre-emption
laws, and the frequency with which
proofs are presented on the face of
which it appears that the claimants
have endeavored to calculate to a Erysipelas,
uicety the smallest amount of im
provements actually necessary to
secure a title, has caused the auth
orities to look with suspicion upon
all commuted homestead and pre
and
emption entries.
There is neither a maximum uor
a minimum of valuation, though
it is shown by practice that the
commissioner of the general land
office has made up his mind that a
settler who has improvements val Catarrh,

twenty-five dollars has not made
very strenuous efforts to make a
permanent home for himself and

tries to patent except under most
peculiar circumstances,showing be-
youd doubt that the claimant has
acted in good faith, and that where
an indication of bad faith appears
he will have no mercy upon the
claimant
In final proof it is frequently
said by claimant and witness that
“absences have been no greater
than the law allowsor “he was
on the land as often as law re
quires.” These statements are eva
sive in character and outgrowths of
ignorance respecting legal require
ments. There is no provision of
the pre-emption or homestead law
permitting the absence of settlers
from their claims, nor is there a
provision specifying how frequently
they must l>e on the land. The
laws require continuous —that is,
unbroken—residence upon the land Work, Ambition and Passion, cause
