Lively Battle for the offices Promised Ia
the Twentieth Ward - Some

Politics among the Democrats of the
Twentieth ward is of high tempera-

there will be lively times before election
arrives. Last spring Select Councilman

Is worrying the candidates now. He

the regularly nominated Democratic
| candidate. As it stands, the men seek
ing office at the next election are In a
quandary as to what course to pursue.
There are at least three candidates for
every office and it is feared that should
| a. caucus be held, the defeated candi-
dates for the office would not abide by
the result of the caucus, but would get
on the ticket through the agency of
| nomination papers. Fer this reason
there is no one in n hurry about the
caucus, nor Is anyone anxious to have
II called. Common Councilman Daniel
p. Battle, Timothy Lavelle and George
Decker have the calling of the caucus
in hand.
For, school controller, John Gibobns
makes a strong candidate and his friends
say he can easily overcome any opposi-
tion that has been set up against him.
He Is popular with the people, and his
record before while on the board will
count very much in his favor. MIR.
Battle. the present councilman, is a
candidate for. reelection and hopes to
win. There is hardly any question but
that Prof. John F.. O'Malley, principal
of No. school, and the present alder
man of the ward, will be elected.

REPORTED MASSACRE OF CHRIS
TTANS AT CHENG TU.

A very startling report is cabled from
London to the effect that the Chinese in
Cheng Tu have slain all the American,
English and French residents of that
city. Usually such reports, when per-
tanning to events at great distance, are
less shocking than when they relate to
events near home. Upon this report,
however, all Christendom will take arms
against the Chinese government, and if
it proves true, severe penalty will be
exacted; but it will be none too severe.
When in Christian and well-governed
America we permitted mob to murder
Cinnamon by the wholesale at Rock
Springs, Wyoming, or repeatedly in our
own state Cinnamon have been blown to
pieces by dynamiters, or shot down like
dogs, the world. and even our own ma
ton, has been little concerned. This
report simply illustrate how much more
sensitive are the nerves of Christendom
when Christians are murdered than are
those of the followers of Confucius when
their fellow countrymen are massacred.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.


California has taken an active interest
in the building of the Nicaragua canal,
R2d while Senator Dolph represented
Oregon in the senate, our state had an
able and enthusiastic supporter OF this
great work. Californians appreciate the
Importance of this canal because it will
enable them to market the products of
their orchards in the form of fresh fruits
in the great cities of Europe, and the
f1uit industries of the state will never
be embarrassed by an over-stocked
market. With the development of the
apple Orchards of this state we shall
need the same quick route to Europe.
But right now the opening of this canal
would make an incalculable difference
to our state; transportation of wheat,
-four and wool would be facilitated and
the expense greatly reduced; as facili-
ties for transportation are increased the
market is improved.
Oregonians generally, we are afraid,
do not begin to appreciate the benefits
which will Immediately result to this
state by the opening of this canal. We
certainly hope Senator Dolph's success
sor will take as deep an interest in this
project as he did, and leave nothing un-
done to aid the building of this canal.

The attention of The CHRONICLE has
been called to the condition of some of
our sidewalks. On Second street, just
west of the First National bank is an
example of shittlessness which should
bring a blush to whoever the duty of fix
ing it belongs. We haven't read the
city charter closely enough to determine
the proper functionary. but our city
council could do far worse things than
to provide somebody with twelve
pound maui and have the spikes, which
protrude above the sidewalk, driven in
to their proper place. It would be
convenience to drunken men, who are
continually stumbling against them.

The interior department having re-

the Cascade Reserve, sheepmen should
see to it that no forest fires arise from
their use OF the forest pastures. As we

do more harm to the timber and under

the country can do in whole summer.
Let us show our appreciation Of the

it that no fires devastate the forests.

The CalnpanerO.

This bird, called dara by the Indians
ana bellbird by the English, is about
the size Of a jay. His plumage is white
as snow. On his forehead rises a spiral
tube, nearly 3 inches long. 1t is jet
black, dotted all over with small white
feathers. 1t has communication with
the palate, and when filled with air
looks like spire. When empty, it be-
comes pendulous. His note is loud and
clear like the sound of bell and may
be heard at the distance of three miles.
In the midst of these extensive wilds,
generally on the dry top of an aged
mora almost out of gun reach, you will
see the campanero. No sound or song
from any Of the winged inhabitants Of
the forest, not even the clearly pro-
nounced "whippoorwrll'' from the goat
sucker, causes such establishment as the
toll of campanero. You hear q toll and
then pause again, and then a toll and
again a pause. Then he is silent for six
or eight minutes, and then another toll,
and so on. Act9on would stop in mid
chase, Maria would defer her evening
song, and Orpheus himself would drop
his lutte to listen to him, so sweet, so
novel and romantic is the toll of the
pretty, snow white campanero.-Water-
