THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

With but little ostentation, yes
terday the administration of a
mighty government was changed.
William Mckinley assumed the
presidency of the United States,
having been chosen by the peo-
pie after one of the greatest poll
teal battles the world has ever
known,
1t is not expected that Mr.. Nc
Kinley, as president, will be able
to enrich the people. The gov
ernment does not support the citi-
zen. But it is expected, with
reason, that McKinley's admins
tration will be wise and good
that it will. inspire confidence in
our future, and that the doubts
and fears which have driven cap
ital into hiding will de dispelied.
1t is believed that with the in
fusiug of boarded wealth into the
arteries of trade, there will be a
general revival of business and
prosperity will attend us.

ganization was really possible, no
matter who had control, but that
the pretended efforts OH the part
of populists this week to organize
was thin bluff. They had forty
five days in which to help organ
ize the house, but they absolutely
refused. Nothing has occurred
since to give them any more
reason for doing their duty They
are posing now for effect merely.
Mr.. Lake thought that the COVER
nor would call an extra session
within month or so.
MIR. Lake refused to enter the
joint assembly chiefly because he
knew that As members could not
be induced to come in and he did
not propose to ''go rainbow hunt
ing" While he was elected with
the understanding that he would
ote for Senator Mitchell, that Was
not his chief duty and he was
more interested in possible legisla,
ton. He would vote for Mr..
Mitchell whenever opportunity
arose, although the senator was
hardly his personal choice.
Mr.. Lake was perfectly indie
pendent, while at Salem, and for a
while was lampooned from all
sides. But he maintained his own
policy and those that had abused
him finally acknowledged his good
sense and honesty.
He stated that more than the
defeat of Mitchell was behind the
holdup and that the revolutionary
tactics of Mitchell's opponents
could not be justified.
Senator Carter is at home, dis
gusted with politics and leglsla-
tors.

nishes the Chicago Inter Ocean
some curious Misrepresentation
concerning the management of
the Mckinley campaign in this
state. There IS so mitch of un,
truth in his article that even the
Oregonian failed to comment up
on it approyingly. His criticism
of the splendid work of the CEN
trail committee is sometimes
astonishing. For instance he
elaborated a theory as to why
speakers were not sent into Coos
county, where the fact is that the
committee did send speakers
there among whom were S. M.

EVERYBODY knows that the
pretended desperate attempt to
organize the "Davis house" after
the tired and disguised members
who really tried to organize, had
gone home, was a farce. There
could be no legal organization af-

ernor called a special session.
Besides, Davis was not speaker Of
the "Davis house" He had been
deposed and DR.. Smith, of Ma
rion county, elected in his stead.

Settled in Court

For two years the people OF Lin
coin county and the citizens Of
Toledo, in particular, have been
interested in law case known on
the docket as Lincoln Gnunty VS.
Grady. According to The plaintiff
butcher shop and dwelling own
ed by Grady were located on.lhe
terminal point of the county. The
county desired Grady to get off the
grass. AS Grady considered the
grass his grass he told the>county
court to go 10 grass, all off which
made hey for the lawyers. The
supreme court has decided that NJ
legal road was ever located at the
point in question and that in any
event Grady's 10 years adverse
possession gave him superior title.
Lincoln county is enjoined from
interfering with Grady's property
and is thus shut off from water
privilege by way of the alleged
road. The county has a pretty
cost bill to pay.
In the Sine road case, appealed
from Benton county, the decree Of
the lower court has been reserved,
the supreme court holding that no
legal public road had been located.
Judge Fullerton has rendered a
decision in the suit of the Corval-
lis Water Company VS.. the city of
Corvallis, overruling defendants
demurrer.

ABOUT THE COLOR OF SOIL.

The color of the soil will affect It's
temperature. If white piece Of paper
and black piece Of paper be placed
upon the snow in the sunlight, the
snow under the black piece of paper
becomes more rapidly melted than the
snow under the white. This is an IL
lustration of the fact that dark sub
stances absorb the suns heat rays. In
the same way, the darker the color Of
soil the more rapidly do the suns
rays warm it, while light-colored soils
become warmed only slowly. The dark
color of soils is generally due to the
presence of decomposed organic mat
ter. Hence soils rich in humus are
generally warm Western Plow-
