Prosperity Has Reached the
Santiam.

A correspondent of the Salem
Statesman made Il trip recently
over the G. e L. r. X. from
Albany to Detroit i'll the Cascades
and return. In writing up the
trip. among Other things, he says:
We enter the narrow canyon at
Niagara. having, perhaps pushed
an occasional car OF wood INTO the
sidinss.
From here the train win Is along
the mountain with high banks on

row channel on the right. This j.
stretch of scenery not to be eX
celled anywhere. From the wa
ter's edge, bordered by green moss
covered rocks, which appear soft
and velvety, the eye rises to a
fringe of vine maple and other
underbrush the leaves of which at
this season show all the brilliant
and delicate tints of purple, red
and gold, thence to the dense dark
shades of the forest relieved by
an occasional maple with its leaves
of bright yellow, and, finally, on
up and up till the range of vision
reaches the clear blue sky above
the tops of the lofty mountains.
To one who made this trip a
year or less ago a great change is
noticeable. Then wood was bring
ing only ST. per cord on The cars
and at that price only enough was
cut to keep up the supply of floul
and bacon, but this year there is
large demand at $3.50 per cord
and at these figures fair wages can
be made as the timber is easily
split and convenient to load. Hun
dreds of cars of wood are bein-
j.. cut and there is Il demand for ak
men. The stave bolt industry
bids fair to reach large proper
tions now that the company ha:
regular service between Yaquin;
and San Francisco. These bolts are
cut slightly over four feet long o

a successful venture. Whileour

The Enforcement League.

Occasionally some paper flying
the banner of republicanism rises
up and directs an angry slap at
the State Enforcement league
and it's work, on general princi-
pies, and particularly that part
intended to have a bearing upon
the political conditions of the
state. Fortunately. however,
for the credit of the Republican
party and for the standing of the
press fraternity, these excep-
tions are now few and far be-
tween. For there is not one
principle OF purpose of the
league that should not commend
itself to the most earnest ap
proval and support of every
good citizen of North Dakota. It's
purpose is to secure the enforce
ment Of the prohibition law in
particular, which purpose car
ries with it the spirit Of respect
for an enforcement of all laws;
which is simply good govern
ment is what the people need,
and want, and are determined to
have. The contention that the
league is irrational and incon-
sistapt in singing out the pro-
hibition law for enforcement,
and that the law needs such
radical organized efforts behind
it no more than any other law, is
an idle one; fer everyone knows
that there is an element of our
body polite that it strongly and
determinedly organized for the
express purpose of defying and
annulling this law; which can be
said of no other, and which fully
justifes the existence and work
of the Enforcement league. Its
principals and purposes are
absolutely sound, and worthy the
respect and support of all good
citizens.
And this is particularly true
from a strictly republican stand
point, for the Republican party
of North Dakota is the parent of
both the constitutional and legis-
lative prohibition enactment,
and has in state conventions as
sembled solemnly and emphati-
cal reaffirmed it's allegiance to
those laws. While the league is
a non-partisan organization, it's
purpose is exactly in line with
the earnest declarations of the
Republican party platform, a
fact that these republican pa
pers cannot afford to ignore. The
enforcement of all laws and
of the prohibition law in particu-
lar is good, sound republican
doctrine, and the work and influ-
ence of the Enforcement league
should be recognized by the Re
publican party. The work and
influence are for the best inter-
ests of the party and of the
whole people. C. r. Herald. !
