Publisher One Sherifl Knows His Duty. “I consider it my duty, as the Sheriff of Multnomah County, to see that the law is enforced," so savs Sheriff Word. Soil Word is a man ot his word, he will raid Mayor Williams’ special privilege gam bling joints with as much zeal as he has raided the opium dens in Portland. 1» is seldom that we hear of a sheriff, after he has been elected to office, who considers it is his duty to see that the laws are en forced in regard to saloons, gambling joints, places ot prostitution and opium deus. We are glad to see that Word is a man of his word and lie has closed all the gambling houses in Portland, and we hope sheriffs in other counties will follow his example, and where they fail to do their duty, it is to be hoped that the public will proceed against them and deprive them of their jobs, which can easily be done.

Loss of Life by Accident. Last year was a record year for great accidents with large loss of life, but if 1904 goes on nt its present pace the 1903 record will be badly beaten. Theater fires, steamboat and ocean ship fires, railway collisions and mine explosions have inflicted appalling calamities re- I suiting in a great loss of life. A great ' accident such as the Chicago theater i horror nowadays creates little or no public opinion of sufficient endurance to have any appreciable effect on the regu lations covering public safety. Already the theaters in Chicago are reported to have evaded the theater ordinance, with the help of an injunction from the courts. ( and there the matter rests. New York’s steamboat fatality showed a most cul pable negligence on the part ot the pas sengers, yet who would predict any real and lasting assurance of greater care in the future? If we Americans were not content to take so many chances, were more conservative in such matters, public action fixing the blame and pun ishing the culprits would long ago have put on the brakes. If, unfortunately, any accident carrying great loss of life should befall a meeting of our state or national legislatures, bringing home to the lawmakers themselves the scant consideration fixing public safetv in these busy davs, some remedy would be applied immediately. The rapid agricultural development of Canada leads the Northwestern Miller to remark that our northern neighbor is destined to become a for midable rival of the United States in the exportation of grain, if it doesnot take possession of the foreign market. In the last three vears the wheat crop of western Canada has increased four, fold, having been 80,000,000 bushels in 1903, and it is estimated that the area suitable for wheat embaces 43,000,000 acres. With this under cultivation, at Manitoba's rate of production, the crop should be over 800,000,000 bushels, which is much more than the United States produces. Besides wheat Canada produces a considerable amount of oats and barley.

The almost unprecedent feat of causing the public gambling-houses to suspend operations was accomplished by Sheriff Word Sat- urday. Contrary to what might have been supposed bo casual observers of the vio. lent efforts recently made by some offici als and many insistent reformers, it was not a difficult task. The sheriff merely visited the various gambling-houscs and gave a simple order to shut down the games, saying be would raid any house whose owners refused to obey the man date. Within the time it took the sheriff to make the rounds of the different resorts, the money and paraphernalia was put away, the players and employes dismis sed, and gambling was no more. It is estimated that the closing Jof the games . will throw 700 persons out of work. ’ g J^OBERT A. MILLER, A ttorney - at -L aw . Oregon City, Oregon.
