Editorial Notes.
Hang on to land with chittim bark if
you have any, and if you haven’t rubber­
neck until you find vacant land with the
v tillable trees. A timber claim is a nice
thing to file on, but freeze on to a chittim
claim like grim death if you find one.

Well, after all that was said and pen-
n • I about the Yankee crew on board the I
Reliance, it now transpires that the cap
tain was a Scotchman and the rest ot the
crew were Norwegians, Swedes and
Danes. Although not one Yankee help
ed sail the yacht in the recent races,
the result would have been the same had
there been an entirely Yankee crew.
* * *
It must be, bv the tone of a letter we
have received from him, that Chas. Pye,
formerly of Nehalem, has embraced
socialism, for he writes : “In your issue
of Aug. 20 I notice your article, ‘Bribery,
the Besetting Sin.’ I can indorse every
word in it, for it is only too true, I can
Under
a’so point you to a remedy,
socialism these things could not occur,
lor the incentive would be removed.” It
is not necessary to embrace socialism to
remedy this besetting sin. Those who
watch the signs of the times, and the
fearless manner in which President
Roosevelt is ferreting out bribery,corrup­
tion and fraud, and appointing men to
public positions who are above reproach
as w' ’’ t.s weeding out those who have
been connected with post office, land
and other frauds, see a change for
the better.
Undoubtedly it will take
years to eradicate these abuses, but
no one is doing more in that direction
than the president, for he has arrayed
himself against the professional politi­
cians.who, to a great extent, are respon­
sible for the bribery and corruption that
is so prevalent in national, state, coun­
ty and city affairs.

It is unfortunate, and wc say unfortu­
nate advisedly, for Tillamook county
that in lecent years that a number of
people who have come to settle in this
county have gone away disgusted, even
when they had deposited money to hold
a farm. Simply because the real estate
agents have been in the habit of under,
mining one another and telling all man­
ner of lies to
prospective setllets
about the farms or property the
other fellow had listed or wanted to sell.
These are the tactics which have been
resorted to, as most of our readers are
aware, so much so, that home seekers
who have come to Tillamook wonder
where they are at with so much conten­
tion and with the real estate agents ac­
cusing one another of being prevaricators
of the truth and readv to fleece any ten­
derfoot who mipht innocently fall into
their clutches. No wonder that home
seekers, finding themselves in that kind
of invironinent, pull out in disguest and
give the county a bad name. Tillamook
does not get many people to look over
the county with a view to settling here,
and it is a shame that those who doconie i
are scared away because the real estate j
traders are uudermining one another for
I
the purpose of knocking the other fellow
out of a trade, lying about people’s pro­
i
perty and fleecing intending settlers.
That is what some of the real estate
traders have done.
* * *
many pitfal's that beset th*m, stumble
headlong into them, and instead of im­
proving their moral character, especially
if their parents furnish them with plenty
oi money, thev become to some extent
reckless and often turn out the opposite
what was expected of them when they
were sent away from home to school.

Most assuredly the material welfare of
this country rests upon the success ol
agriculture. This fact is recognized by
none more keenly than by those who are
wrapped up in large financial affairs.
Henrv Clews savs : “ The agricultural
situation promises to carry the country
safely beyond anv crisis. The farmer,
whether he grows cotton, corn, wheat,
hay, oats, live stock or dairy produce,
is sure of profitable prices for his out­
put. Apparently this is not to be a
year of big crops, but our agricultural
products are not increasing as rapidly
as the demand for them, the consequence
being high prices and good profits to the
farmer. Very likelv combines and specu­
lation have enhanced costs of meat and
cotton, but they could not have done
this were it not for the gradual over­
taking of supply by demand, the effects
of which thev simply exaggerated for
their own financial advantage. It is
many years since the American farmer
enjoyed such prosperity as he is having
today and there is every prospect of Ins
having another year of the same sort.
This means much for general business.’’
Our Rival in Corn.
Corn is king of American crops, Its
yearly value is much greater than that
of anv other. It seems also more secure
against rivalry than any other. Canada,
Russia and other lands compete with us
in wheat. Competitors in cotton are
growing in many places at an ominous
rate. But the United States has seemed
to have pretty nearly a monopoly of
corn growing. In this industry, how­
ever. a rival is also arising which mav
befnie long be developed into great pro­
portions.
That rival is Argentine, a couutry
which for more reasons than one might
well be regarded as the United States of
South America. It is only about two-
fifths as large as the United States, and
has only one-fifteenth as great a popula­
tion. But its soil is wondrously fertile
and its climate genial, and it is growing
in population and in the arts of civiliza­
tion ata gratifying pace. Its production of
cattle and sheep, of hides and wool, of
linseed and various other thing is well
known to be great. It is to be remarked
that it is also becoming a great pro
dlicer of corn, for which crop its soil and
climate seem to be particularly well
suited. The last year’s crop of corn is
reported to have covered 4,300,000
acres and to have measured 130,600,000
bushels. That is, of course, very much
less than our 94,000,000 acres and
2.523,000,000 bushels. Yet proportion­
ately to the population of the couutry,
it is a creditable showing. Moreover,
it is to be observed that the Argentines
get more than thirty bushels from an
acre, and get $1 of their currency, or 44
cents gold, a bushel for it, making a
yield of $13.20 an acre, w hile we, with
our boasted higher civilization, are con­
tent with twenty-seven bushels to the
acre, which, at 40 cents a bushel, means
a yield of only $10.80 an acre.
There is no occasion to get scared at
the specter of Argentine competition in
the corn market. Yet it is evident that
Argentine is destined before long to be
so considerable a producer of that crop
as to cut a figure in the markets of the
world, and probably to rank as a rival
of the United States.

The Astoria Budget contains the (ol-
lowing relative to »lie proposed county
road between Tillamook and Clatsop
counties:
“Word lias been received by the county
court from Tillamook county that sur­
veyors are at work running the lines lor
the proposed road to the line between
the two Counties, but there is considera­
ble controversy among the settlers over
the selection of the route. There is only
one place where the road can terminate
and be connected with a highway leading
from Astoria and unless that route is
selected the object ot securing a contin­
uous highway from Astoria to Ti.la-
mook will not l»e attained. Every farmer
in rillamook county, however, appears
to want the road to run by Ins dooryard
or he is unalterably opposed to its con­
struction."

Crew of the Reliance.
The Astorian is indebted to the Skan-
dinaven for a roster of the crew that so
successfully handled the yacht Reliance
in defense of the America cup against
Shamrock III.
The Skandininaven replying to a re­
I mark of the Chicago Daily News, to the
effect that Shamrock III. might do won­
ders with a Yankee crew, says ;
Perhaps she could. In days gone by
the fame of the Yankee sailor was waft­
ed by the winds across all the seas.
But in defending the famous cup he
has been conspicuous by his absence.
In previous races the crews of the cup
defenders have been made up largely of
Scandinavians, in whom the managers
of the Reliance likewise placed their
re ianee. Here is the roster of the vic­
torious American yacht ;

It will thus be seen that there is not
a Yankee on the Reliance. The captain
is a Scotchman ; the mates are Nor-
wegians ; and the crew are all Nor.
wegians with the exception oi two
Swedes and one Dane.
There has been nothing but praise
for the work of these men. That they
are better sailors than the picked men
of Shamrock III. is admitted even by
the expert yachtmen of Great Britain
and Ireland. Sir Thomas himself is re­
ported to have said :
“The smartest sailors I ever saw in
my life are those who sail the Reliance.”
In view of these facts it would be in
order to amend the motion so as to
make it read as follows ;
“ Still, Shamrock III. might do won­
ders with a Norwegian crew.”
