Few people have but little idea Of
the magnitude and size of Oregon
and Washington Territory, combined
as compared with other States in the
Union, especially our friends i'll the
East. We herewith give few COM
parsons: Oregon and Washington Ter
ritory are larger than the States OF
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, Rhode ISL
and, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware
and West Virginia by 1900 square
miles. They are larger than North
Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and
Kentucky by 1000 square miles. They
are larger than England, Scotland, Ire
land, Switzerland and Holland by 5000
square miles. They would make five
States larger than Maine, or 33 States
larger than Connecticut, or 1872 states
larger than Rhode Island.

cratic Convention of this county, last
Saturday, is an excellent one, and will
carry more than the party strength in
the approaching contest. We defy
anybody to show that they are not
faithful, competent and honest men.
They should be elected, and doubtless
majority, if not all, will be success

Is there really nothing new undor
the sun? An article in the OregOnian,
the other day showed that the poet
Longfellow had probably borrowed
the idea embodied in Hiawatha as we'll
as its meter and rythme from Kalevala,
the national poem of Finland. Now a
London dispatch announces the dis
covery that John Bunyan cribbed his
Pilgrims Progress from French work
entitled Ye Pilgrimage of we Sowle,"
by Guillanne de Guilville, a monk OF
the fifteenth century, a translation OF
which was published by Caxton in
1883. 1t seems really difficult, under
the progress made by modern discovery
to recognize anything as absolutely
new. Even the telephone disputes its
late origin in the courts, and the use
of electricity as an agency for instan-
taneous communication of ideas, in
its primary form, dates far anterior to
the Morse system of 1874.

Changing Front.

The Republican Senate has formu-
lated a tariff bill which will reduce the
annual revenue about 10000 900, and
places long list OF articles on the free
list. 1t proposes to take $4,000, 600
from tobacco, $25, 600, 900 from sugar.
and $40, 1000, 900 from alcohol. The ad
ditions to the free list will aggregate
$5,WO'UOO more. 1t is proposed to
abolish the entire tax on tobacco, CT
gars and cigarettes, these doubtless be-
ing considered necessities" by the q.
o.p. 1t will be seen, from this action,
that the Republican party is in a guam
dairy, and recognizes the necessity Of a
revision of the tariff to SATISFY the pub
lie clamor, but as in duty bound,
makes Injuries and non-essentials the
main objects to undergo the cheaper
ing process. Sugar, a necessity, is in
cluded doubtless as a "retaliatory"
measure, it being a commodity that
affects the South. The bare introduce
ton of such bill in a body clearly
Republican when party lines are drawn,
is a virtual acknowledgment that So
called free trade has caused whole
some dread of the consequences likely
TO result from the sham policy OF pro-
lection. The people cannot be deceived
by such transparent fraud as the
claim that policy which has resulted
in causing hundreds of men to num-
Der their millions by two figures pro-
tects the workingman. Those who
have been compelled to organize to
wrest from these same wealthy indi-
viduals and corporations the pittance
OF one dollar per day, which their
leader declares is enough for the work
ingman, know very well how much i'm
portance to attach to the high-sound-
ing battle-cry Of american protec-
ton"

The history OF the event to which
the dispatch refers is thus given by the
Olympia correspondent of the Oregon
ian, who doubtless obtained the main
facts from the General himself: 1T
is claimed that while the loss of the
battle of Winchester was a serious blow
to the Union forces, yet had it not been
for the delay which it Occasioned, Gen
eral Lee would probably have passed
Gettysburg and chosen u more favora-
BILE position for an engagement than he
found at the latter place. Gen. Milroy.
at the time of the battle of Winchester,
was in command of an army OF 10000
men, and was surrounded by $4,000
Confederates. He had notified Gen.
Halleck of his dangerous position, and
of the approach Of Lees army, at the
same time asking for reinforcements,
but for some unexplained reason the
required assistance never reached him,
and after three days hard fighting he
was compelled to cut his way out with
a loss of about 1000 killed. After the
battle, Gen. Milroy was placed under
arrest, but a court of inquiry, called at
his own request, fully exonerated him
from any blame. Yet he never after
wards obtained a position in the front
to which he so eagerly aspired, and to
which he was fully entitled.

A Renaissance OF WINCHESTER

from his old command that must have
been exceedingly gratifying to him. It
came from the remnant of the Eighty

was as follows:

A gentleman who has operated for
several years in Wisconsin has lust re-
turned from Washington Territory,
and while he fell in love with the eli
mate and country, the manufacture of
lumber out there, he thinks, has by no
means reached perfection. The waste
he describes as simply inexcusable. In
the first place enough short logs are
not cut. At one mill he saw them
making 26-foot plank from 36-foot logs.
The ten feet that was cut off was car
ried over the firs-wall as food for the
flames: He thinks that the timber in
Oregon and Washington Territory is
greatly underestimate, the same as
the timber OF the northwest was years

jury at Tacoma, last Monday, advised
an investigation of the gambling,
bawdy house and Sunday saloon evils.
He advised that attention be directed
toward the larger and holder establish
ments rather than the small affairs,
and counseled that the work be under
taken, not in the spirit of extremists,
or with prohibitory notions, but rea-
sonably and nationally, with the pur-
pose of checking the great growth and
publicity of gambling houses. He re-
ferred to the burning of Spokane and
the subsequent running out of the
gamblers, and feared their descent
there. That city has a reputation for
decency which no other new western
town can boast, he said, and that repu-
tation should be sustained.
James Graham, NJ. A. Miller and
Thomas Barley, a committee of miners
at Roslyn, went to Tacoma on the 18th
inst. to wait OIL j. NJ. Buckley, assistant
general manager Of the Northern Pa
cific, in regard to the coal mines at
Roslyn, and to adjust matters in re-
gard to the men going to work again.
The company has paid off every man
in their employ there and closed up
the coal office. Everything looks dead
around town. 1t is believed the men
will come to the company's terms in
full, as it is getting near winter and the
men must provide for their families.
The company may not desire to 60 to
the extra expense of opening up the
mines again unless they have all their
terms agreed to. Assistant General
Manager Buckley is absolutely non
committal in regard to the action
taken by the miners.

other sections have their specialties,
this section has a wider range OF pro-

raised in the Northern States can be
