It will be seen from this that the Oregonian does not mean what it says, nor does it say what it would have the reider assume it is saying, for when its statement is analyzed it does not say anything. v ADVERTISING SATES.

Among other descriptive matter considerable attention is paid to the Circassian walnut used in decorating the main entrance. This lumber cost $600 a thousand foet. It is no doubt a very beautiful lumber, in many respects the fiuest in the world, but there is one that in our opinion at loast it its superior, and that is the myrtle of Coos Bay. This, in our humble opinion is, not even barring the satiny Circassian walnut, the most beautiful finishing and decorative wood in the world. It ranges in color from a dark brown to a light pale yellow, is beautifully mottled and has the same satiny smoothness as the Circassian walnut. Its variety of color makes it available for any decoration, as it can be selected dark, light, or any and all shades desired. Loyalty to the state suggests that this beautiful wood be used in finish ing just such. buildings as The Morgan. Its use in Buch a building would be worth a thousand advertisements, as it wold speak for itself, and would soon lead to its much larger use in finishing work. We earnestly urge that as our big Bister city adds to her sky-scrapers, that the Coos Bay myrtle bo given a chance, and we feel certain that the builder who yes this wood will bo forever glad of it. In the near future this wood is to become one of the most used all over the country for decorative finishing, and Portland should set the example in its use. Shown in some of its big buildings it would soon attract attention, and admiration, and that much more quickly would be brought into larger use. Oregon in this, as in most other things, leads the world, and it is little short of a crime to send Oregon money across tne seas to purcnase at jewel ry prices what we have at home comparatively cheap, and certainly as beau tiful. By all means give the Coos Bay myrtle a chance, for once brought into notice it will do tho rest itsolf. Leone Case Baer in her column in Sunday's Oregonian says: 'Give me a sense of humor or give me death," Judging from the humor in tne aforesaid column it looks Jike death would be her portion. It is strange that one who can write so interestingly and so charmingly of matters theatrical should insist on trying to do something she can not. Leone takes her humor seriously and so does the public. The weather clerk has our permission to order up any old kind of weath er now and there will be no kick; but come to think of it, the prunes are not yet all saved. However he has done such excellent work that he can be forgiven something. Just imagine the bops getting through with no rain worth mentioning, and after you have digested that get onto the state fair with cloudless skies. Winter is a more fickle old chap than gentle spring, who somehow has al ways had the record as a flirtatious damsel. Here is the old chap now crawl ing onto the knees of autumn, and next we will hear of the old masher ling ering on the first lap of Bp ring. The Shaniko Star heads a local story, -"Madras men steal sheep." This may be true of some of them, but it is a rough statement to make so broad- INGENIOUS BUT NOT INGENUOUS. THE OREGONIAN editors are ingonious, but far from ingenuous, and they Bay many things they do not mean and say them in such a way that they keep their readers guessing. For instance here is a sample of What they say about tho tariff laws as they will affect Oregon, and it will be seen that whilo they apparently think the Jaws will injure Oregon, or rather make their leaders gather the impression that they think so they do not Bay so but evade by Baying "Wjatch how it works." The Oregonian editors are far too Well informed to for a moment be lieve the tariff on tho products named benofited the Oregon producer a rent, hence it is hard to find any excuse for the editorial in question un ion it is just politics, and not very good politics at' that. Here is what they say: "Now that tho new tariff is law, it is time for Oregon to considor the changes in tho position of its leading industries wrought by the new duties. We must adjust our businoss to now conditions, which open the markets of our chiof industries to the competition of the world. We had a duty on raw wool equal to five to soven cents a pound on tho scoured fleece; now we have freo wool. "We had a duty on lumber ranging from $1.25 to $2,75 per thousand feet; now wo have free lumber. "Wo had a duty of twenty-five cents a bnrrol; now it is wiped out. "Thore wero duties on milk of two cents a gallon; cream, five cents a (jtillon; eggs, five cents a dozen; now all are free. "Butter and cheese formerly paid a duty of six cents a pound; this is re duced to two and one-half cents. "Oats will now come in at six cents instead of fifteen cents a bushel, and oatmeal will y only oiiothird cent instead of one cent a pound. "Cattlo formerly paid $2 and $11.75 a head; sheep, soventy-fivo conts and $1.50 a head; hogs, $1.50 a head; now all come in free, as does fresh moat of ail kinds, which was subject to a duty of ono and ono-hali cents a pound. "Apples, peaches, cherries, plums, pears and quinces paid a duty of twenty five cents a bushel; now thoy pay only ten cents. "Wo had a duty of 30 por cent on canned fish; now it is 15 per cent. Fresh, dried, smoked, salted or frozen salmon paid three-fourths cent to one eent per pound; now all are free. "On juto bags wo paid seven-eights cent a pound pliiB 15 per cent; now wo pjny 10 por cent. Wheat comes in free; tho bags in which we ship our wheat are still taxed. "These nro a few examples of the bearing of the new tariff on Oregon's loading industries. Watch how it workB. " Lot us take a gkinco at tho Items and seo where Oregon is hurt. We grow most of oifr wool on gnvoniient lund, tho industry pays tho smallest wages of any in the 1'nitM States, and as we manufacture clothing from it that is sold abroad, it Is evident on tho face of it that the manufacturers have not boon paying Oregon growers any more than thcty would with tho tariff off. However this will bo demonstrated in tho near future either one way or tho other, and is in foet tho only product of the whole lot that there is any question about at all. Lumber! What protection could a tariff givo our lumber when we ship It to all parts of tho world and in competition with tho world. From Puget mind points lumber Is now, and has been for years, shipped into British Columbia, and undersells tho home product there. Wheat t Wo ship it abroad and have done so for years, tho world is our market and the price is fixed in Portland and on the Coast by tho price In England and Europo, Tho same applies to flour.

Eire of unknown origin early Sunday morning destroyed the Sutherlin Mer cantile company's store at thnt place. the loss is $20,000 with about $5,000 insurance. Portland's tax levy for 1914 it is expected will be 7.7 mills. The budget is about completed. At Vale the alfalfa growers are finding a ready market for their crop at $5.50 per ton. Many cattle buyers are laying in a supply of this excellent forage. I The Oregon Eastern railroad was completed at Juntura Friday, connect ing Vale with that rapidly growing little city. Tho distance is 62 miles and nearly three' and a half miles of this was completed in the lost three days of last week. There will be 100 ears of cattle shipped from Juntura this week and two train loads next week. The Dalles is on the list of kickers and objects to paying some $34,000 due for paving about two miles of street. The Linden-Kibbo company had the contract. Tho Baker Herald ventures the as sertion that a city or town without a wild west show is as lonesome as a clog without fleas nowadays. s According to tho estimates of the Eugene Register, Springfield's right to undying fame is now firmly establish ed since some of her citizens have vol untarily requested that tho assessment of their property bo raised.

All pleaded not guilty and thoy will hftve their hearing some time during the latter part of the week. According to Chief of Police Shedeck, the game warden tried to make him quit hunting on his own land The chief stated this afternoon that when the warden approached him, he was on his own personal property and that he had never given any one permission to doelare his land in the game reserve. Shedeck says that he told tho warden to go along about his business and that he proceeded to finish his hunt after birds. A titter ran about the room when Deputy District Attorney Keyes came in. Gamo Warden Risinner sized the prosecutor up and wanted to know his business, not knowing the state's rep resentative. When Mr. Keyes asked tho warden what tho nature of the cases ws, tho latter said: "Why, haven't you just heard the judge say i What is your business, any way f ' ' Tho spectators laughed outright and Mr. Keyes then introduced himself.

The first rat infected with bubonic plague to be found in Seattle, with one exception, since the scare of three years and nine months ago, today was announced to have been taken from the quarters of the Miller Produce company. Men in the city health department found the animal dead last week. Care ful laboratory tests on guinea pigs to day demonstrated that this one and possibly others were infected. This morning workmen will begin razing the building, a frame and corrugated iron structure, and a largo force of men were set to combing all that part of the city for a radius of six blocks for other rat 8. Announcement of the finding of the plague rat was made by Dr. J. E. Crichton, city health commissioner af ter he had completed a careful exam ination of the premises in company with Dr. Eugene R. Kelly, secretary of the state board of health, and Dr. B. J. Lloyd, representative of the United States health service. Dr. Kelly says he will take no action unless there seems to be clangor of plague spreading to other points in the' state. It is thought that the United States health officials also will rely on the city health department to cope with the situation, rather than to declare a quarantine. IS united fbkss iaasbu wins. Portland, Ore., Oct. 7. The Western Union Telegraph company was enjoined by Federal Judge Wolvcrton in a de cision yesterday from interfering with the operations of the Postal Telograph company, in the maintenance of a pole line along tho right of way of the Southern Pacific from Eugene to Now Era, Ore. Tho Postal had entered into an agree ment with the Southern Pacific com pany by which the cross-armB of its poles Bhould extend over tho right of way. The Western Union, which also had a line along tho right of way, re fused to accept the clauses of the agree ment on tho ground that it had an ex clusive contract with the Southern Pa cific company.
