EDITORIAL NOTES
The American beet sugar industry is
menaced from two sources—the hostility
of the sugar trust and the movement
for the admission of Cuban raw sugar
tree of duty, winch has the support of
the trust. What is known as the
Spreckels syndicate is said to be making
a determined effort in the country west
of I he Missouri to crush the best sugar
interest. The syndicate, which refines
raw sugar brought from Hawaii, Java,
India and the V est Indies, is reported
to have given orders to its brokers in
the west not to sell any beet sugar, to
sell, in fact, no sugar except such as has
been made bv the syndicate itself. The
president of the American Beet Sugar
association stated in a recent interview
that the beet sugar interests have incur,
red the enmity of the Sugar syndicate,
which is making every effort to run the
business. He declares that the be*t
sugar industry is in the hardest kind of a
fight. The American Sugar Refining
company, better known as the trust, has
already announced that it has increased
its capital for the purpose of encourag­
ing sugar production in Cuba and that
it fa vol s admitting Cuba raw sugar to
the American market free of duty. Un­
doubtedly the trust will have an active
ally in the Spreckles syndicate and they
will constitute a formidable influence.
As we have heretofore pointed out, the
admission of Cuban sugar free or at a
nominal duty would he fatal to our beet
sugar industry. It could not successfully
compete under such circumstances with
the Cuban product. The question which
congress will be called upon to deter­
mine is to

tinue to grow if not subjected to a
destructive competition, such as would
come from removing the duly on Cuban
sugar. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
has expressed the opinion that the duty
should be retained and possibly this re­
flected the adniinirtra i i<ni view. At all
events we are inclined to t^ink that con­
gress will retuse to grant concessions
that would manifestly be detrimental to
the American sugar industry.

far enough to justify the conclusion th t
it is an unqualified success. The same
system, or something similar to it, will
undoubtedly be adopted in ail future
openings, for the benefits vastly outweigh
the possible evils. We can all see that.
Those who remember the frightful
rushes, the turmoil, the deadly accidents
and the bloodshed that accompanied the
opening of Oklahoma and the Cherokee
Strip cannot but contrast, to the infinite
advantage of the new lottery system, the
present scenes with the old ones. Instead
ofsooners stealing into the land, of terrific
scrampies at siginals from soldier guards,
ol fearful rushes over unbroken prairies,
of galloping thousands of horses, of doz­
ens of men and women fighting for choice
claims and of the triumph of the men the
readiest with revolver or Winchester,
boys are allotting the lands amid the
somewhat hearty cheers of peace­
ful, good-natured thousands. Fully 150,-
000 people were disappointed when the
drawings were ended, while only about
13,000 were happy possessors of claims
But the Dumlicr of the disappointed were
no greater that it would ha ve been under
the old system and the 13,000 able to
take their possession of their quarter
sections without having tofight tor them
or to submit to virtual blackmail from
unscrupulous “sooners” or rivals. While
the new lottery system has technically
violated the federal law against lotteries,
it has prevented far worse evils and has
accomplished its purpose without blood­
shed or un lue harsh feeling. For the
reason, if for no other, it deserves the
hearty commendation of thoughtful
Americans.

less than the requirements of home con­
sumption. The condition is even worse
in Germany. These facts warrant the
opinion that Europe will reed our food
products this vear in quantities exceed­
ing the requirements of any previous
year. The principal anxiety of the sta­
tisticians seems to be as to where and
how Europe will raise the money with
which to buy the surplus food supplies of
this country.

Thus far there appears tobenoaspi
rants who want to jump into Congress,
man Tongue’s shoes. It is well, for they
would meet with sad disappointment, as
others did two years ago who thought
they had the people by the ear, but they
are wiser for their experience. Mr. Ton­
gue has proved himself a strong man in
congress, and as far as Tillamook is con­
cerned he is the only member of the Ore.
gon delegation who has interested him-
seli in this county in the matter ot bar
and hafbor improvements. We think we
express the sentiment of a large propor­
tion of people in this section that Tilla­
mook is in favor of keeping Mr. Tongue
in congress, but if another appropriation
bill is held up and Oregon river and har­
bor improvements are tied-up in conse­
quence, there is no telling how badlv
some of the coast counties will switch
round and go democratic.

Admiral Schley, says “I am unalterably
in favor of giving the men of the navy
every opportunity for gaining commis­
sions. Upon this subject I recorded my
opinion in an official report published in
I 1886 or 1887, while chief of the bureau
j of equipment. The man behind the gun
in the navy ought to have the same priv­
ilege as the comrade in the army to gain
«a commission. I am in favor of grant­
ing to him, after gaining his promotion,
the opportunity of a course of, say, two
years at the academy, that he may ac-
' quire sufficient knowlebge of mathematics
and other sciences and not be at a dis­
advantage with the graduate of the
Naval academy in matters of profession!
technique.”
It will be noticed that some of the
owners of property along the streams in
Clatsop are beginning to remonsterate
against the county court leasing unnavi-
gable streams. We predicted that this
law would cause no end of friction, both
to those who have property on these
streams and those who own timber lands
in the vicinity.
The law places two
much power in the hands of rhe county
court, while those who have property
and business interests at stake have not
the protection which they are entitled to. |
For instance, the Tillamook county court
leased 16 streams in this county before i
the property owners or those directly in­
terested knew that such a scheme was
on the tapis, vet as far as the letter of the
law goes the court did not deviate from !
it. How the circuit court will construe
the spirit of the law wc will not presume
to foretell. We simply say this, to our
way ol thinking, it is an injustice to al­
low a few people to tie-up all the streams
and which will be a detriment to the eii-
tire county and those who want to en-
gage in the manufacture of lumber.
* * *
Arrangments are now being made to
purchase the machinery for the new
daily newspaper plant to be erected in
Portland. Arthur Cooper, formerly city
editor of the Denver Times, who is to be
the active business manager, is enroute
to Chicago, where lie expects to purchase
eight Mergenthalcrs, the big press and
other equipment required for the plant.
The new paper is to enter the race with
a capital of $250,000, none of which is
subscribed or furnished by Portland or
Oregon people. All Portland is asked to
do is to secure in advance 10,000 paid-up
subscriptions for the period of one year.
The money is not to be paid to the new
concern, but will be placed in a bank
awaiting performance of certain condi
tions by the newspaper men, one of
which is the erection of a plant costing
approximately $100,000. Then the sub­
scription montv will not have to be paid
over, but it is understood that a portion
at least will be further held ns a guar­ •
anty that the paper will operate for a I
I
year, the time of the subscription.

Tillamook county has already got into
difficulty bv getting out of its depth
financially, or, to use a vulgar phrase,
the projectors bit off more than they
could chew. That, however, appears to
be the surface indications connected with
the Goble, Nehalem & Tillamook rail­
road. There is this much to be said
about the Portland, Nehalem & Tilla­
mook railroad, if it ever falls into the
hands of a receiver it will be to recover—
not the wind—the few $25 subscriptions
which some of the Portland people pun-
gled up to start the ball rolling.

board is for political effect. Here is the
point : If the board is responsible for this
money then the committee which was
appointed to expert Davis’ books and
reported that they were correct should
also be prosecuted for making a false re-
port. Politicians should not make fish
