'' There is at present ' not ' an empty house in the city or suburbs, which can be utilised as a residence, and the people are busy repairing 01 a dwellines and reshinelinir them. This week forty immigrants arrived from Tennessee and settled in and . around Eola.

This was illustrated in the Senate the other day when Senator Bailey alluded to Speaker Heed's aar castic remark at the expense of Jadge Holm an, of Indiana, "the watchdog of the . treasury." Mr. , Bailey said the wittiest and bitterest thing Beed ever Said was the remark when an appropri ation that came very near Holman's home was up antl the old judge was re markably eilent about it. Beed said: "The watchdog never barks at home folks." That was said," interrupted Senator Hoar, "in 1369 or 1870, when L nrst came into the House." Mr. Bailey was sure the Temark had been ma'drt later, while he was himself a member of the House, which was many years after Mr. Hoar went over to the Senate The Texas Senator appealed to Senator Lodge, who was a member of the House at the time. Lodge nodded his head to confirm Bailey's story: Then Senator Hoar arose and said the the witticism originated when E. B. Washburne was a member of the House. Hey too, was a " watchdog. " H bad not objected to a bUl passed by his brother, Cadwallader, who was a mem ber at the same time from Wisconsin. "Some one," said Mr. Hoar, "asked the Speaker (James gV Blaine), if the Bepresentative from Hlinois had ob jected.' Xo, said Mr. Blaine, 'the watchdog does not bark when one of the family passes by.

NEW YORK, March 23. Under 4ate of March, 19th, the banking house jj of Henry Clews & Co. sent out the follow ing regular weekly circular letter: ' "' The Northern Securities decision,! as expected, proved adverse to the mer ger, and the stock market rallied sharp ly ia consequence, partly as a result of the removal of suspense and partly ij be cause "of extensive short covering. The decision :is one ef he most important issued by ; the supreme court of the United States in many years, and its effects will be very fsr reaching. Whether the court will hereafter take the same! attitude towards an industrial combination not a monopoly as it has done in the case of a railroad which is a quasi-public monopoly remains to be seen. It is quite certain that the de cision opens the way for further litiga tion,' but which for the present is not likely to follow. The administration has been successful in this suit, and seems wisely disposed to leave the rail roads alone. Will it also leave the; in dustrials alone; or will it be forced to select one of these combinations for a test casef And what will be the course of the political opponents of the admin istration f These are all questions that we should like to answer but are unable to. It is to be hoped that good sense land not politics will prevail, and that the adjustment of such important issues will not be attempted when vision and judgment are warped by the beat of a Presidential campaign. That is not the time for calm consideration. On the other band the decision Is an exceed ingly" wholesome one from a public point ef view. Bailroad consolidation must now progress along lawful and more natural lines; . and the financial community has been spared the tidal wave of speculation that would , have engulfed ' the speculative stock opera tors had the merger gone through two years ago, to say nothing of the anti Capital crusade that it would have in evitably created for the political cam paign of 1904. One other result i is quite likely to follow tbis decision, and that is the amendment of the Sherman anti-trust law. There is a Vast differ ence between reasonable and. unreason able contracts in restraint of trade, and the proaeat1 anti trust law will probably be amended later on so as to give the courts liberty in deciding what re straints are reasonable and what v are not. Five of the judges out of nine were 'of opinion that the Sherman law forbids reasonable as well as unreason able restraints; but as Judge Brewer evidently considered the Northern S- eurittes merger an unreasonable re atrainty he cast his vote adversely, showing thst the verdict of the highest tribunal upon a most vital point is de pendent upon the duration .of a single life. -It is unlikely, however, that ahV new legislation will be attempted tnjs session of Congress. ' " f The improvement m stocks which followed the merger decision was fur ther "stimulated by better accounts of the iron trade and continued ease in money. Prices of iron and steel have ?n--ahietly hardening the last few weeks, and now that the conviction has been Reached that prices are at bottom level orders held baek for months are being placed, and the outlook j for all kinds of steel products is better than at any time'' since the reaction began. While the Western roads seem to have nearly finished their extensive outlays for improvements, this is not the caSte with the big Eastern railways, . whch sre and will be for some time to come heavy buyers of iron and steeL . The Pennsylvania, for instance, has already placed some large orders in the mar ket, which is not without significance, since" this company nearly always ex hibits 1 exceptional shrewdness in its operations, whether in the financial markets or in its purchases of raw ma terials.: The transportation improve ments, alone in the large Eastern cities will compel unusually heavy orders fpi iron and steel during the next two or threo years, and .this-is a sustaining faetor of much importance. There is only one hindrance to recovery in the iron ana other industries, and that is the uncerain attitude of labor. New enterprises are already seriously held la check, not only by the unreliable poliey followed by some unions but also ny the high eost of labor, which, ia many instances, has reached an ex treme level. Much of the recent busi ness reaction is due to this influence. and any further demands on the part of unreasonable labor leaders would be simply -disastrous. There are indica tions,1 however, that sanity, is resuming its sway. The bituminous coal miners have decided not to strike thus avert ing a disastrous struggle, and in some trades labor has submitted to moderate reductions, which permitted a revival of business; and should this spring es cape an upheaval labor will probably benefit more than capital. ! As for the money market, that con tinues easy. Funds are returning free ly from the interior, bank reserves sre high, speculative demands are lieht and ordinary business requirements strictly moderate. Tne prospects are for easy money' until the new movement begins. except of course, the usual stringency incidental to April I. With the break up of winter general business should become more active and transportation revive. Following this we should hsve better railroad earnings than in Jan uary and February; besides which it is about time for the j Western r roads . to feel the" economics expected from the heavy outlays of the last three or four years and whieS are now nearly com pleted. This week the war in the far East has not been a. faetor, but -more decisive events may be expected be fore very long, and these are sure to influence the foreign 'financial markets, and by sympathy this markef also. Many, of the. financial, leaders are ab sent on their customarv spring out- ings. - When they return fresh activity may accompany the makinz of new. llans.

Thielsen Business Men and Farmers Offer! Large Donations: An enthusiastic good roads meeting was held in Liberal hall, at Silverton, on Wednesday evening, which was at tended by a large number of the lead intr citizens of that section.

At the meeting held in bilverton a number of the business men and farm ers signified their willingness to make individual - donations of as much as $100 toward the improvement of the highways in that section, and it was apparent that enterprising citizens of the Silverton country ! mean business I and have taken the matter in hand with a determination to accomplish good results during the! coming season.
