TIsTsf !yi EXPENSES AND INCOMES. at Oregon City and Lebanon some six weeks ago, the dis covery entitles Tom to a trip to South America and to be coupled in history with the discoverer of the north pole and the discoverer of a new river almost a thousand miles long recently placed on the map at great bodily risk by It. . W. H. Meredith, having accepted the prohibition party nomination for congress, virtually leaves a clear field to Fred Hollister for democratic choice in the primaries. He is a veiy energetic and able young man who is backed almost unanimously, without regard to party affiliation, in Coos county, his home, and'should make a strong race. Mr. Hollister has a good chance to win in Novem ber, especially if W. C. Hawley is re-nominated by the re publicans, which now seems more than likely. ""Adison Bennett of the Oregonian is among those at tending the good roads meetings and boosting for the bond issue. Mr. Bennett is a graceful writer and the Oregonian-a great paper, but Marion county, citizens feel that thev can settle their own mad affairs with mi t nrL vice or interference from either. - THE ROUND UP.

It may fool the men for the moment, but it can't fool the raen's.wives, for they who keep the house know more about the narrow margin between want and plenty in the household than does the secretary of the treasury. A woman is wise enough to see that while the increased cost of living is palpable and genuine, the increase of in come exists only in promises is like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. What the woman feels instinctively is well supported by reasoning. Increase of price does not mean increase of business ; it means less business. It brings no more wealth into existence; it results in less production. It brings no more money into circulation; it drives it out of circula tion. - .

But the millions who have for sale the commodity upon which they themselves cannot fix the price labor get the worst of it all around., . - - So high pvices do not' insure either brisk business or good wages. Even in most of the great trusts there is a contraction of expenditure. The cost of the soup, of the meat, of the bread, of the coal, of the shoes for the children, of the blankets, of the An unto at Canyon City got away from its owner, Dr. J. W. Sell, of John Day, Wednesday, and plunging over n 1.11'oot bank, broke its owner's leg. Then it was gentle as a lamb, ami suf fered itself to bo hauled oi of the ditch with never a protest. The young cliinook salmon placed in the pool at the Peninsula park at Port land were found floating belly-up in the pool Wednesday morning.' What caused their death is unknown unless it was tho quality of tho water, from the famous Hull Hun. , Sheep-sheering hai started on n large scale in liaker county. Ono outfit has a job of shearing 20,000. Milwaukio recently held up the Port- musing to give it nil-year franchise and anv old once it wanted. This reverses tho natural order of things, as it is tho first time in history where the gns company in a hold up was not tho party with the mask and gun. Anyway, it was not robbed of anything only the ono it wanted ami had not yet got its fist on, The Manufacturers' association, at a meeting in Portland Wednesday, de cided to coino under tho Workmen's compensation law. They think there should be a slight amendment, but ap prove the law as n whole. ' The Dry Navy, iTIW Gilliam county hns completed and forwarded its registration list.

The officers, a gent sup poses, will all be joyous when their noses are bleached of crimson stains; they'll fight tho country's battles bet ter when jugs and bottles cease to fet ter their faculties and brains. We're J all swelled up about our navy, we all would take our Alfred Davy that it's determined it will sever the bonds ot Barleycorn. Old Booze, that thing in sin grown hoary, will never bring a country to glory 'twill, sooner bring eclipse; from a'diiiiral clear down to I cornet, tho naval officers should scorn it, and shoo it from their ships.

The officials of the Colorado Coal and Iron corpora tion which is the cause of the Colorado strike, say, and swear to it besides, that the Rockefellers are not inter ested in that company. Young Rockefoller says he is and that he will spend millions before he will submit to the dictation of labor or arbitrate any of the matters in dis pute. It is evident that either the officials above men tioned or Young Rockefeller are first-class liars. We do rot believe Young Rockefeller would claim to own prop erty he was not interested in, and especially such a prop erty as the coal mines in Colorado. He has property enough now to keep the whole family dodging the asses sor and income-tax collector. Hence we are forced to believe the officials simply lied and then swore to the lie at the behest of Young Rockefeller to protect him from public execration. Having evidently lied for this, to them, laudable purpose, is it not fair to presume they are lying about the conditions and as to their causes? Tho second lot of bids advertised for the opening grading and draining of tho Coliunbin highway from Astoria to the county line were opened at Astoria Wednesday. Tiiey were nil so niiieh higher than the engineer's estimates that it is doubted if tho contracts will lo let. . Four arnied guardsmen aro located in An Uroent Need For Court of Quick Decisions Otis Bruce Goodwin, of Los Angeles, brought suit for a divorce alleging his wife "was out at unseemly hours." The lady set up in defense, after admitting the charge that she was the officer of a lodge and that her duties as such officer demanded her being out late. The wise judge failed to fall into the trap so neatly prepared by the wo man and held the excuse was sufficient. You see if the judge had held the other way what a mess he would have made of it for the men, to whom the lodge meeting is a shield and protection. The woman grinned, and remained Mrs. Daisy Helen Goodwin, and also held on to her job in the lodge. Tom Richardson, the Portland hot-air artist, has dis covered that paper is being made at Marshfield from saw dust, and energetically wires the "glad news" to the Ore gonian.
