Half of Siberia is an undeveloped country as desirable as Minnesota, and free homes may be had there. E uropeans seem rather to like the proud way in which the stars anil stripes float. Immigration has not been so brisk at our eastern ports for twenty-five years. What is better, the class of immigrants is reported excellent.

Fred Funston, of the 20th Kansas, the hero of Calumpit, is 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 95 pounds. It would be a poor tribute to him, therefore, to say that he could whip his weight in wilt] cats.

T r I’ sts lighting trusts will settle the monopoly question with a great ileal more certainty than any res trietions that legislation can throw around the combines. Just now the people are viewing with consid eruble satisfaction the signs of the formation of an opposition steel fence wire trust, with a capital of many millions. Thus capital will be pitted against capital, and the pas sion of humanity, love of gain, will regulate what otherwise would be un evil. A writer in the Telegram makes the following suggestions, which, while they may seem caustic, arc nevertheless true, and point out a tendency in Oregon to misconstrue the eternal fitness of things: “As you so aptly say, this ought to be a year of peculiar sacredness and sol ernnity. To many this Memorial day will bo one of recent sorrow. It should be observed with a great funeral service for those lately fal len, as well as in memory of the he roes of the past. It lias a double significance. Yet we see that on this day, of all others, the bicycle road races are to be held under the auspices of the Portland Y. M. C. A. Had we not bet ter change the C. to H.?
