Not even the late Christmas festivities alluding to peace and good will, have been able to overshadow the tense interest taken by public and private individuals alike in the case. The bitterness of the feud has already re suited in making enemies of former friends; has given other nations a bad opinion of our navy: has brought upon the lieutenant general of the army a public reprimand from the president; is being fanned into a po- litical flame in the halls of congress, and may cause a change in the eabi- net and a libel suit in the civil courts. Certainly the president was right when he declared that army and navy men must stop talking about it. The disposition seems to lie to come west for new cabinet officials, another straw which shows l’resi dent Roosevelt’s grasp of the ini mensity of the nation over which lie presides, and the justness of giving Al.I. tiie peopi . e a chance. The Re porter has ¡1 thoroughly original idea in this connection. It is that when the new bureau of commerce is or ganized, an Oregon man be chosen to the secretaryship. This state has never had representation in the president's cabinet but once, and that was when Hon. Geo. II Will iams was attorney general for Grant. To show the appropriateness of such an appointment we need oniv men tion Oregon's close relationship to the opening trade with the orient and our new insular possessions. We will go a step farther, and stig gest a man.for the place. His name is H. R. Lewis, who has already made two or more trips to the i’liil lipines in the interest of the Port land Chamber of Commerce, and who thoroughly knows the ’ lav of the land." We do not personally know Mr, Lewis, but believe lie would fill the bill better than any other man m the state C. H. Markham, late general freight and passenger agent of the S. P. Co s. lines in Oregon, has been elected vice president and < xecutive head of the Houston and 1’exas t’en tral Railroad Co. Mr. Markham is remembered in Oregon as a “hustler," and its one of the ofii. ials of the Southern Pacific lie lid more to bring producer and shipper to an understanding of their respective needs than perhaps anyone before or since.

To get the farmers out of the old groove of growing win at exclusively and to induce them to inaugurate a diversitv in their agri cultural pursuits was his theme and while mingling with the prodm er* and evidencing an interest in their welfare the ex Oregon railroad man made friends for hintsi b -iii. * ob- literating in a great measure the an - tipatbv to the giant corporation At a recent meeting of livestock men in Chicago one of the orators declared that the man who eats beef rules the world; that no one exerts his full energies unless he has beef steak for breakfast. We are told the speech was greeted with ap plause. Evidently the pork packers were not invited to the meeting. H. Hirschberg, the Independence banker and capitalist, proposes to bore an oil well on his own land near Monmouth. He does not propose to sell any stock nor ask for any money from anybody. There arc very fa vorable indications of the existence of oil in that neighborhood, and if the enterprising banker finds it he will make all his neighbors rich. He is himself already well enough off to afford the experiment, no matter what the result. When congress meets after the holidays there will be much heard regarding the construction of the proposed Isthmian canal. Before the holiday adjournment the house of representatives adopted a rule providing for the taking up of the Hepburn Nicaraguan canal bill on January 7th, and for its continuous consideration until disposed of. At present two Nicaraguan bills pending, the Hepburn bill in house and the Morgan bill in senate. The principal difference be tween them is that the Morgan bill provides that the work shall be done by a commission, while the Hepburn bill places all disbursements in the hands of the president and contem plates that the work shall be done through army engineers or in such other manner as the president shall direct. The eye is the only organ of the body that is completely controlled by the brain; therefore, if there is any imperfec tion in the refraction of the eye, the brain must necessarily be on constant strain to compel perfect vision through an imperfect eye. This may affect the brain, causing what is called asthenopia or chronic sick headache. This con stant effort on the part of the brain takes brain strength, and in orilyr to renew its strength the brain draws on the nervous system for new material with which to replace the lost power neces sarily used to compel perfect vision. Now if the nervous system is perfectly balanced it will suiter as a whole, and the person with such a strain is liable to nervous prostration, but if there weak point in the nervous system, point, because of lack of power to tect itself, will he robbed more than other part, and the person will have trouble at that point. If it is the brun chial nerves and muscles it will be ii ron- chial disease; or it may be any other disease that comes from lack of strength in any of the nervous centers. This is no longer a matter of conjecture, for thousands of cures are being made through wearing scientifically fitted glasses, thereby stopping the loss to the nervous system Dr. C. W. Roberts, the eye specialist, comes with the most convincing testimonials as to his ability not only from his home city but from nearly every town and city he has prac ticed in. He proves his theory that many seemingly incurable nerve troubles and headaches are brought about through constant strain to get perfect vision through an imperfect eye, by reference to his patients who have been cured of serious diseases, supposed by all, except the most advanced in the science of optholmology, to have no connection with the eye. It is well worth your while to call and have a talk with the doctor If you are interested, call even though your eyes are perfect. He is an interesting talker.
