Why Wages were Scaled.

Under the above heading the
Corvallis Union undertak es to give
a reason why wages in the New
England cotton mills have
been reduced since the new tariff
bill went into effect. In its floun-
dering around for some excuse it
says: "What has the Dineley bill
or the administration to do with it
anyhow? Will some ofyou shriekers
tell? There is no tariff on cotton"
We don't claim to be "shriek-
er" but we will tell the Union some
things. Of course there is no tariff
on cotton, that is raw cotton, but
on every possible article manutact-
ured in whole or in part out of cot
ton there is duty, under the Ding
ley bill. This tariff was put on for
tne sole purpose OF raising the
wages" of the mill employees, Has
it done it? Hardly. The Union had
better stick to the plea that it is
cheap negro labor that keeps the
price of New England employees
down, and then if it will look up
the wage statistics of the last census
1t will see that the wages of south
ern employees in their cotton mills
average nearly ten per cent higher
than the New England wages. So
the Uuion's "Reason Why" is no
reason at all.

The above telegram from Wash
ington, D. c., last Saturday an
nounced joyful news to the produ-
GERS of Oregon who have an outlet
by the way Of Yaquina Bay. The
delegation has been pressing this
matter hard, and the result is very
satisfactory to the people of Oregon.
1t will be remembered that in 1895
Major Symons reported that va
quina Bay was not worthy of fur
ther improvement. Through the
efforts of the Oregon delegation a
special board of engineers were ap-
pointed to report upon Yaquina har-
Dor. This board made a careful
examination and reported a project
which contemplated the extension
of present jetties seaward, and it
was estimated that one million dol
lars would cover the cost of the
work. In April 1896 the de1ega-
ton secured the passage of a bill
placing the Yaquina project under
the continuing contract system and
authorized the secretary of war to
let the contract. For some reason
Secretary Lamont and also his sue
cessor Secretary Alger had been
prejudiced against the Yaquina
work and the contract has not been
let. Lately the people from nearly
all over the state has been urgently
pressing this matter, and the dele
cation have impressed upon the war
department the necessity and urg-
ency of this work, and the result
has been successful.

The only ceremony held was a
dance, at which the young people
seemed to enjoy themselves. An
avil was fired several times also.
While firing an an anvil in honor
of the appropriation last Saturday
night, Stoney Wells got too close
to it and as a result got his face and

of the grains of powder entered the

painful hurt. He will go to Port

treated if it continues to pain him.

returned to Oregon City to join
with his brother in the law bust

eye on this place, however, and
now he announces that he has come
to stay with us. He was looking
for suitable city property to buy for
a home today.
Up in road district 80 Steve Lo-
gan was supervisor last year. In
his annual report he filed a bill for
$42 and recommended that John
Turnidge be appointed as his sue
cessor. When the matter came be-
fore the boatd of commissioners
Uncle Charley Williams stated that
"all of the boys wanted Dave Will
Jams to be appointed" So Turn
idge, one of.the best men in the
district was turned down, and Dave
Williams was appointed. The fact
is that there was no petition before
the court in the matter, and there
was no plausible or practicable rea-
son why the court should not have
appointed Mr.. Turnidge, as was
recommended. He is fit man for
the place in every respect. This
will be Dave Williams third term
in the office. Why not appoin
him for life?.
The county court took a queer
shoot on some bills before il the
other day. Several witnesses had
been subpoenaed by the State in
state cases from Siletz. After dis
trict court had convened and the
witnesses had arrived the caseswere

the county court the other day they
were not allowed. No reason on

LEACH WOULD GO.
The Soldier Charged With Murder
Would Fight But Not With
His Battery.

/ S. Leach, the young regular soldier
in the county jail who was a member Of
Battery B at Fort Riley and who said
a few days ago that he would rather
stay in Jail than go to the front with
his battery says that he did not intend
what he said to be taken as meaning
that he did not want to go to fight for
the country. In a letter written to the
Journal he said:
"A person would readily infer that I
was a renegade to country and flag,
while the fact is 1 am as patriotic and
as loyal to my country today as much
and as true as two years ago when 1
put on the uniform of my battery.
1.-THE reason did not care to go with
Battery 3 of the Fourth artillery was
knew full we'll the animOsity and the
i'll will that some mem bers in the bat
terry have against me But. sir, in any
other battery, troop or company, my
life would be at the call of duty to my
country. In every respect I am an
American, with that same American
spirit of loyalty fmbued within me,
that stirred the blood of patriotism in
my father to take up arms in the SER
vice of his country in the late war as
his son. The father taught me those
principles of loyalty and affection for
Old Glory, that permeates all through
that young organization known all over
their land-the Sons of Veterans.

WHAT HE PROPOSES.
Not a Postal Savings Bank Bill But
New State Savings Bank Law.

In a recent interview Bank Commls-
sioner Breidenthal was quoted as say
ing that he had in the course of prepar-
alton a postal savings bank bill to be
introduced at the next session of the
legislature and that the bill would pro-
vide for the establishment of postal
savings banks backed by the state Now
Mr.. Breidenthal denies ever having
made such statements, and has given
out the following interview on the mat
ter:
Il have not prepared and do not ex-
pect to prepare any such law, and have
never stated to any one that 1 would
recommend the passage of such a law
The proposition is absurd. The state
could not in any manner add to the du-
ties Of the postal department.
What I have said and now repeat is
that Kansas should have an up to date
savings bank law and it is my purpose
of recommending the passage of such a
law in nv next report. There are quite
a number of inquiries with reference to
the starting of savings banks and as
our state grows older the demand for
institutions of this character will in
crease. A law should be passed which
will define the duties of savings banks
and afford ample protection to their de-
pOsitors. We have only three savings
banks in the state at this time. These
are doing a nice business under our
general law and are in frst-class condi-

JACKSON vs.. JEFFRIES.
Two Heavy Weight Fighters Will
Battle Tuesday Night.

San Francisco March 21-A great
deal of interest is being manifested in
the result of the fight between Peter
Jackson and Jim Jefries, which will be
decided at Woodward's pavilion tomor-
row night.
Both men have finished their work in
preparing fer the contest and from now
until they meet in the ring will take
matters easy Jackson has undergone
a six weeks preparation, much to the
surprise of his many admirers, he has
shown great form in the last week or
ten DAYS. In fact he has shown such
good form in his practice that those
who thought him has BEEN" are now
laying their money on him He is ap
parently strong and as far as boxing
is concerned, has lost none of his cleV-
erneSS or agility, still having those
quick peculiar blows that won him so
many battles. Jackson will weigh
about 1876 pounds. He has taken off
but 10 or Is pounds.
A close observer of pugilists has this
to say of JackSOn'S chances:
There is no doubt that the contest
depends upon JacksOns vitality. If he
can prove that, in his case, all prece-
dence concerning age and fast living of
pugilists do not apply to him, then he
should prove the winner. I believe that
Jackson will endeavOr to make the con-
test a short one, realizing that the long
er it lasts, the better it will be for JEFF
fries.
Jeffries has a trifle the advantage in
height and some in weight. He is half
an inch taller than Jackson, measuring
six feet, one inch, and weighs more by
about 20 pounds. He will enter the ring
at 215 pounds.
All things considered, it will be a
contest between two of the largest men
in the pugilistic world today, and has
been very aptly styled the battle of
the giants"
The betting favors Jeffries at 10 to 8,
with the prospects of the odds evening

CHURCH RECIPROCITY.
Ex-President Harrison Gives It a
Hearty Endorsement

Chicago, March 21-At the meeting
of the Methodist Ministerial association
today, the Rev. John Lee, chairman,
read a report of the committee on re-
ligious liberty for Protestants in South
America"
was greatly encouraged Tt aims to ac-
complish three things:
First-To secure religious liberty for
missionary working in the republic of
Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia.
SecOnd-TO secure religious liberty for
native Christians who dissent from the
Roman Catholic faith
Third-TO secure in these South Amer
lean republics the fullest civil liberty
ants, especially by the legalization of
marriages performed by others than
the clergy of the Roman Catholic
church.
Letters had been addressed to prom
inent men in various parts Of Christen-
DOM stating the aims of the committee
and large number of replies had been
received.
Among them was one from ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, who wrote:
4 am an advocate of the largest lib
erty to all people in our land and 1 am
strongly in favor of any movement
having for it's object the perfect secur-
itv and absolute freedom in the South
American states of people sOjourning.
OF residing there. The demand for such
freedom is only reasonable and just.
Ex-President Harrison replies:
Certainly the religious liberty which
is now universally given by protestant
countries to citizens and residents of
the Roman Catholic faith, calls for rec
iDrocaI treatment in Roman Catholic
countries

So STATES HEARD FROM.
That Number Certain to Participate
in the Omaha Exposition.

Omaha, Neb., March 21-Plans for state
buildings at the Transmississippi eXpOsi-
ton are coming in rapidly. The depart
ment of publicity has just received the
architects drawings of the Minnesota
building. the Montana building. the Ar
kansas building. the Denver building and
the Missouri building.
The plans of the proposed Iowa build
ing met the hearty approval of the expo
Sit1on authorities. The Illinois building
is nearly completed with the exception of
an additional wing, made necessary for
the accommodation of the fine art exhibit
which Illinois will bring to the exposi-
ton.
The Wisconsin building is well under
way, and will be one of the most COM
plete state buildings on the grounds The
Nebraska building is practically complet-
ed.
Plans for the Georgia Pine Palace have
been submitted 1t will be constructed
wholly of pine donated by the people of
Georgia The Minnesota building will be
constructed on similar lines, of unheWn
Minnesota logs. 1t is highly probable that
the states of New York and New Jersey
will construct handsome buildings.
Thirty-fve states have to date decided
to participate in the exposition. In thirty
of these commissions have been appoint
ed, and reports from agents in the field
are to the effect that at least five more
states will be organized within the next
ten days.
The great government building, 500 feet
long, and the pinnacle of whose dome is
nearly 200 feet high, is nearly done. The
management finds it necessary to build
several anneXeS to accommodate the eX
IraOrdinary demand for space.
