JPhone Main 82. A MYSTERY TRULY DREADFUL. No information is at hand to explain, or to leave other than deeply mysterious, the effects ascribed in a dispatch sent from Dieppe, to the new French field gun. The cor respondent told of groups of men numbering sixty, who, after subjection to the sudden fire of these weapons, were found overwhelmed by sudden death and yet showing no wound. We have long known of shells that on explosion dif fused trough several yards of space an asphyxiating gas, but except in inclosed places such shells are not capable of the wholesale slaughter described in the dispatch, and the discoloration of the victims who do not escape always makes clear the manner and cause of their deaih. The betraying yellow tint is not mentioned in this case. Just a fortnight ago another correspondent in France hinted vaguely of a "surprise" that was in store for the Germans of a military utensil or expedient so dreadfully .effective that it would be used only in a desperate emer gency and as a last resort. One was almost compelled to suspect that the "atomic bombs" of H. G. Well's ingenious imagination had become a reality a suspicion that had something more than the shadow of foundation in the re cent discoveries as to the enormous, the appalling, store of energy that lies imprisoned in every atom of so-called dead matter. But the bombs prophesied by Mr. Wells are to act in a way wholly different from that in wiiich the French cannon are said to do their killing, so his picture of "the last war" does not help us to an understanding of how those unhappy Germans perished if they did. INVESTING MONEY AT HOME. , It is interesting to the newspaper man, as he reads his exchanges, to see how sharp the competition is for new manufacturing industries. Cities from far and near tum ble over each other with special inducements, the moment they hear that any concern contemplates a move. Our town should be active in this game, difficult as it ia. Meanwhile the fact is worth attention, that many a town while campaigning earnestly for distant concerns, w neglecting chances that originate at home. There are young men in this place, as there are every where, who would be perfectly competent to manage a business proposition, if they had capital. They would like to start a new industry here. Meanwhile money is being pent away, because our people don't know of hopeful chances to invest at home. The concern from a distance that may be attracted by ppecial inducements, may or may not stay when the in ducements expire. The concern backed oy home enter prise and capital is rooted in home soil. To many people, the distant investment looks more at tractive. But it might not seem so, if examined on the epot. Money invested at home is under close inspection, which should prevent losses. Wherefore, when our own people want a little capital to start a new enterprise, their claims siiouiu nave tne most carcuu consideration. France is trying to solve the problem of getting rid of her Apaches, a criminal society, and one of the worst if not the worst in the world. Too humane to kill them in cold blood, she has found the present war a means of put ting them to death honorably and in place of better men. They have been gathered up and sent to the firing line, where they can indulge in the luxury of murder to their hearts content. This is all nght for the b renchmen in whose places they die, but it is a little tough on the Ger mans to have to die fighting that kind of men. At the same time it is supposable that a man killed by a bullet in battle would be extraordinarily finical if he differentiated as to the kind of bullet he preferred to be killed by, or the style or, character ot the man who tired it. The Oregonian gives the state fair a gratuitous slap by saying in substance that while the distance from Port land to I he Dalles is nearly twice as great as that to ba lem, all who can afford to make the trip should do so, so as "to see something different and worth while." Its urg ing Portland folks to attend the fair at The Dalles is all right, for the fair at that place is no doubt well worth see ing. Just why it should belittle the state fair in thus call ing attention to the Wasco county fair is one of those things that, like most of the Oregonian's actions, are past finding out. The state fair this year is one of the best ever held in the state, and is certainly "worth while" in spite of the Oregonian's uncalled-for sneer. Editorially it was stated in Wednesday's Capital Jour nal that the cost of the European war would amount to more than $5,000,000 in a year. Since that was written an article on the war has reached our desk, in which the actual cost of the war, not only in money paid out, but in loss of commerce and that following the stopping of in dustrial pursuits, is stated to be not less than $o0,000,000 a day, and mat already tne war nas cost $.s,uuu,uuu,uuu. This in two months. If it is continued for a year instead of costing, as we stated, $5,000,000,000 in one year the cost will reach the grand total of more than $18,000,000,000. SUNNY SQUTBLETS. Nature study walk give the jiirls a quiet. ehunee to talk fashions. The Africju Doners are now pro moting the cause uf agricultural edu cation at the cattle shows. Vacationists may return strupel, but they don't worry so long as the money tor the trip was borrowed. Many country bovs wilf attend ngri cultural cotVges thif fall, so that they won t have to work farming. Now it is suggested that the school chiklren petition the rulers of Europe to stop the war. Someone suggests that the rulers would not see these petitions, they getting no nearer than some secretary, but that it would be a good move anyway because it would impress the peace idea on the youthful mind. This was the boy's theory, who encouraged the old man to let the hound pups chew him up because "it would be the making of the pupp." By tonight the male pheasant will wish, like the young fellow drafted during the war, that he had been born a girl. He will also have a pretty accurate idea of condi tions on the firing line in Europe. It is a safe bet the lady pheasants will not be clamoring for equal rights, anyway, at this time of the year. In spite of the little cloud that darkened the sky for a few days in Mexico, it looks as though there was to be peace there soon, and established on a firm basis. Watch ful waiting may seem slow to some fire-eaters, but if it wins it beats the kind of arguments that are being made in Europe just now. , With a war tax of two cents a gallon on gaso'ine the question arises as to just what portion of the tax will be borne by John D. and Standard Oil. It is our guess that John will pay just that portion of it he can put in cold storage in his eye without troubling that optic. The Tacoma Tribune suggests that there might be no strong protest against a war tax of one cent on each pos tal picture card. Such a tax would surely relieve the situ ation some and produce quite a good sized revenue. Many people are willing to go on picnics to enjoy the beauties of until re if they can spend all tiie time plnyiug bridge. A hired girl is naturally ilipxatisl'icd in ,1 family where the Old Man persist ently declines to turn the ice cream freezer. It would be good business for some baseball umpires to invest 10 cents on a book of rules and rend sumo at least once a year. Apparently the smart set must wear American designed fashions next win ter, but if the prices are high enough they will be satisfied. Knglnml may talk of plowing over its golf links to raise food, but in no emergency will the 1'nited .States ever dig up its bull grounds. Many girls have been placing (in awfully fust game of luwn tennis thb season, anil are boating the boys, I mi t that of course is because tiio sua was ia a fellow's eyes, or his racket needed rcstrin fling. The highly cultured Kurnpean armies don't line prisoners' up against the wall and shoot them, as the Mexicans did. They merely destroy ad their huildinut. n ud crops, and starve their victims to death gradually. CHAMBERLAIN'S SIN, ' Hons were properly named. There is not another prod uct under the sun or between "pole to pole" that can do the stunts this little beer blossom does without stuttering. A few days ago the experts were telling us dollar hops were a possibility and forty cents would be a light price. Only a few days ago the story was that the crop in Ger many was a failure so far as harvesting it was concerned and that the same conditions existed in England. Yester day hops were sold in Salem at 10 cents a pound and it was asserted that the German crop was an exceptionally rond one, had all been successfully harvested and the Eng lish crop was also large and safe. On top of this it was announced that the consumption of beer in Germany and England had fallen off materially and even here in the United States there was a like falling off in beer consump tion. These things may nil be true and the price, ten cents, may be enough under the circumstances, but who is there knows anything about it. or what the hopping hop will do next? If the Coos Bay candidate for congress is in the same class as the Coos Bay band, he is surely a good one.

HP SINCE Men Like Ships Upon the Sea Disappear Over the Horizon and Are Lost (Samuel O. Blythe in Saturday Evening Post.) The greut trugedy of it is that tht men who are going to battle are young men almost boys, 1 saw a regiment of them oa Victoria street. It was hot blistering in the sun. They came along, dressed nt thick khaki suits of a green ish yellowish tingo, in heavy marching order, tarrying their Knapsacks, man Hots aad cump equipment; aud each had a great belt of cartridges swung around lu in. It was pitiful. They had t'aoir mus kets, butt end up, over their shoulders, aud their faces were red, parboiled with the heat; the sweat streamed from them. They looked straight ahead, eyes staring trout, while the baud did its earnest best to cheer them along with a lively niarciiiug tune, Homo of them were palpably distressed from the heat and the weight of their equipment sumo of them almost stuggered; but they kept their eyes to the front and mnrchud us bravely as they could, for they were going to tight for tho empire, doing where Not one of them knew.
