Mr. McKinley will travel through the state of Oregon, making a brief stop where practicable. But out of respect to the memory of the late W. J. Bryan, who made the same itinerary late in the nineteenth cen tury, President McKinley will make no rear-platform speeches on his trip to the Pacific coast. Salem is having a wild time over the introduction of the occupation tax. While the principle of an oceu- pation tux works well in some in- stances, it is undemocratic and a relic of the past, and Salem will find before long that the law will have to be repealed or there will be plenty of empty' stores, offices and shops, in the town. The injustice of tin1 tax can easily be comprehended, when it is shown that sawmills pay but *15 a year while a poor cobbler pays *25. The Lagrande Chronicle recites the fact that a prominent fruit dealer of New York declared recently that the only really good apples that the retailers were able to secure come from Idaho and Oregon. The old or chards in the east are dying out and new ones are not taking their place. Good apples are becoming scarce, even a rarity. Some of the Oregon and Idaho apples brought the fancy price of *1.110 per dozen. And yet people say that opportunities for making fortunes in Oregon have all been taken. Five hundred Filipinos are to be navy enlisted in the United Stat< for service on board lite former Spanish gunboats and other small vessels, which are to be maintained exclusively in the Philippines. These men will form the nucleus of an ini portant service, composed solely of enlisted men. Rear Admiral Crow inshield, chief of the bureau of navi Ration, believes that besides result ing in the government obtaining efficient service, the employment of natives will spread respect for the American flag and create a strong feeling of loyalty. of prosperity as they’ exist in a general sense under a republican administration. Hear him : In every avenue of life except among the wheat farmers of the Willamette val ley, and those affected by their condi tion, our people are enjoying an uuprece dented era of thrift and prosperity Go to the great commercial centers, investi gate the prodigious manufacturing en terprises, compare the present conditions in the mining districts with the past, look upon the cotton fields of the south, and, finally, examine thé bank accounts of the farmers of the middle west and everywhere you will find abundant evi dence of contentment and plenty. Think of what ten cents a pound for cotton means to the southern planter! Four and a half cents for pork to the Missouri and Iowa farmer! Five dollars a head lor sheep, five cents a pound on foot for beef, twenty live and thirty cents a pound for good creamery butter! Do not these conditions warrant the farmer's being the most independent man on earth? Do not these ligures justify his going forth with head erect, with contentment writ ten on his brow, with gratitude in his heart, while he lifts up his voice in grat itude to his Creator, that liis lol was cast m such pleasant places? 1 remarked a while ago that these con ditions obtain throughout our country .ex cept in our own midst. Here, for several years past, the wheat raiser has not iomid bis farm profitable; perhaps it would be safe for me to say that while our neighbors have been enjoying such splendid advantages and unparalleled prosperity, we, in order to make ends meet, have been compelled to economize more in the last three years than ever before. To enquire into the causes that have produced this condition, and sug gest a remedy therefor, is the object of this meeting—is the paramount question before this institute, as 1 understand it. In the opinion of vour humble servant, it is high time that something was doue ill this direction. The time is fully ripe, ill tile language of Jerry Simpson, to find out "where we are at," and do some thing to correct the mistakes that have brought upon us such straitened financial circumstances. There certainly can be no good reason why we, who dwell in the fairest land beneath the shining sun—a land where nature has poured out her wealth in such profusion—where everything seems to conduce to man's happiness and comfort—I say there is no good reason why we should go about with sad countenances and downcast eyes, toiling, planning and worrying from early morning till late at night, trying to devise some plan to keep the wolt from the door. I say, here, without fear ot successful contradiction, that, bv n proper application of modern methods and business principles, the farmers of this Willamette Talley will not only have an abundance ot the necessities ot life, but may have every luxury that money can purchase. . 23 21 . 66 12 N 6 3 *) Ô 3 4 12 7 7 111 in 1 .

The regular meeting of the Young Men's Literary Club was held in the Columbus building last Wednesday eve ning The program w as opened by a few short but pleasing remarks by Prof. Al derman. He spoke of the needs of a lit erary society etc , and extended a cor dial welcome to the girls of the 7th, Sth, 9th and toth grades The next on the program was a recitation by Earnest Poole, followed by an impromptu bv Will Eberhard. Leroy Peterson then read an essay on “The Progress of the Century." It showed careful study and was well given. Harry Woodrum de livered a recitation and then Clifford Reid read an original poem. The next was an impromptu speech by Wm. Palmer upon the subject “Dissipation." Mr. Palmer bandied his subject well. Then Dow Walker made a short speech on "Aguinaldo and whatthe U S. should do with him.” After a short recess the debate was given. The question was: Resolved, That the IT S is justified in her actions in the Philippines. Those on the affirmative were Thos Hutchens, Dow Walker, Walter Long and Truman Northup; while those on the negative were Fred Bradley, Earl Wisecarver. Adeu Stevens and Joe Neal. The judges were Miss Bird, Miss Akin and Miss I p- degrapli. They rendered their decision in favor of the affirmative. There being no other business the society adjourned Several of the teachers and Director Ir vine were present, and all reporta splen did time. $eù) p öiee i Is New Spring Hats Spring Derbys of the celebrated Thoroughbred and Waldorf Spec ialty are here in Black, Brown and Stone Shades.
