WHO PAYS THE BILL?

1t is, to some, a pleasure to prate
about expanding our territory. carry
ing our flag into the remotest regions
and pulling down empires thousands
of miles awav. The expansionist takes
great glory in these things, but as a
rule he does not count the cost or stop
to explain who is going to pay the bills
that expansion is heaping upon the
people. His eyes are only open to the
side of glory to be obtained through
having planted the stars and stripes
on every island of the Philippine and
West Indian groupes, and backing it
up with large standing army.
But when it is remem bered that it
requires 100000 pounds of food a dey
to supply the army in the Philippines.
and that this must be shipped across
the Pacific ocean, it begins to dawn
upon even the radical expansionist
that feeding the army is no small uu-
dertaking, and that this item OF ex-
pense alone will cause taxpayers to be-
gin asking who is going to pay the
bills.
The first order for $4,000 men
has been made up by Commissary
General Weston This is only pre-
liminary, and similar orders will
follow, so there will be no lnterm;s-
sion in the supplies. One of thu larg-
est items on the list is 100000 pounds
of flour. With this go 400, 900 pounds
of hard bread, 10000 pounds of crack
ers and 10000 pounds of gingersnaps
The first order for coffee amounts to
IL, 600 pouods. Five thousand cases of
corned beef and lis 900 pounds of cod
fish form two important items. The
canned goods in the order include
everything which the first class grocer
usually sells. Tomatoes head the list
to the extent of $50 tons. In the list
also are $500 cases of green corn, 200
cases of lobster, 1000 cases of salmon,
900 cases of fancy soups and canned
peaches. peas and apples in large guam
titles. Other items are 27,000 pounds
of chocolate. 1000 cases of condenced
milk. / 200 cases of con5enced cream.
30, 600 cases of evaporated fruits and
5 900 cases of oatmeal.

THE OUTLOOK FOR WHBAr.

The outlook for American wheat
farmers Is more encouraging this
season than common, that is the prob
ability for high prices is exceptionally
good. While the crop throughout the
the United States is somewhat short
the extra price caused by shortages
abroad should more than make up for
the lack in quantity. 1t is yet too
early to arrive at definite figures con-
cerning the wheat yield of 1899 the
world over, but enough is already
known to justify the belief that it will
be very much less than last year, and
that heavy demand.should be great
enough to bring the price up very
nearly to one dollar a bushel at sea-
board points. The Hungarian min
stry of agriculture has just issued its
annual estimate of the worlds har-
vest. This points to considerable de.
6ciency. The wheat yield is 110,OOO,-
200 bectolitres below last years yield
and about $4,000, 600 short of the en-.
ire worlds demand.

| PORTLAND. Sept. IA. L. Mohler
was reelected president of the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Com pany at a
meeting of the board of directors held
at o'clock this afternoon. The only
other changes made in the personnel
of the officers were that Fred v. S.
Crosby was chosen to succeed Arnold
Marcus as treasure, and Alexander
Miller 10 succeed H. c. Tracey as as
sistance secretary.
Previous to the meeting of the board
of directors, meeting of the stock
holders was held, at which new board
of directors were chosen. The person
mel of the new board is the same as the
old one, with the exception that Sam
ual Carr, G. S. Mellen and Daniel
Lamont were dropped and Mortimer
l. Schiff, Winslow S. Pierce and D. w.
Cornish elected. Mr.. Schiff is son of
Jacob Schiff, of New York; Mr. Pierce
is general counsel for the Union Psc-
ific and Mr.. Cornish is president of
the Oregon Short line and vice-presid-
ent of the Union Pacific. E II.
Hartman was elected chairman OF the
board of directors.
Officers of the company reelected
were: A. L. Mohler. president; w. w.
Cotton, secretary; E. S. Benson, gener /
al au 1itor; G. E. Wilmington assistant
treasure; Charles G. Besman, counsel, |
and w. w. Cotton, general attorney.
A new executive board was chosen,
composed OF Messrs. Hartman, Corn
ish, Pierce, Schiff Bull and Cannon.
The old board of directors was COM
posed as follows: W. L. Bull. a. w. !

E. Fl. Hartman. Samuel Carr, A L.
MohIer, q. w. Corbett, Il. w. Scott,
Miles C. Moore, w. NJ. Ladd, w. B.
Ayers and A. L. Mills.
AS stated, the only change in the
new board is the dropping of Mellen
and Lamont, who represented the
Northern Pacific interests, a1d Samuel
Carr. Thus it will be seen that the
Northern Pacific has no representation
IN the new board. The Great North
,rn, on the other hand. is represented. =

BIG DEAL IN MEXICAN LAND.
Texas, Chicago and New York Capitalists
Buy Three million Acres.

|
CHICAGO, Sept. GA deal involving
the transfer of 10000 acres of land
In the states OF Nuevo Leon and Tamau-
lipas. Mexico, was concluded in
Chicago today by L. L. Summerlin, of
San Antonio, with Chicago and New
York capitalists. Mr.. Summerlin,
speaking of the deal, said:
"This property is one of the richest
on the continent. There is a heavy
deposit of asphalt, probably the largest
in America, with petroleum and many
valuable timbers such as mahogany,
rosewood, black ebony and cedar. 1t
is situated in the northern part OF
Mexico and borders on the gulf. 1t is
the intention to build up commercial
and industrial center at some point on
it. Seventy-tive thousand head of
cattle and 10000 head of horses and
mules go with the land.
''Much of this property is already
under cultivation, raising excellent
crops of sugar cane, corn, cotton and
coffee. Refrigerated meats will be
shipped to Cuba and Porto Rico. In
addition to this, large tanneries will
be built. We can obtain large sup
plies of caustic dyewood, which is also
used for tanning from this properly"
For few days he said he would not
be at liberty to give the names of the
persons making the purchase. Several
million dollars will change hands in the
transaction, the first million being de-
posted today. Mr.. Summerlin will
leave for his home in Texas tomorrow.

THE FIRST DIVIDEND FROM THE
CAMPAIGN FUND.
The Corporation Commission, es-
tablished by the last legislature to
take the place of the Railroad Com
mission Of 1891, is getting down to
the business for which the corpo-
rations inten ded it. Our readers will
recall that during the summer OF
1898 the Railroad Commission Or
dered a reduction in telegraph rates
in the State from twenty-five cents
for ten words to fifteen cents. The
Western Union appealed and the
case is still pending. Pending the
decision of the Court the old rates
still maintained. If the court had
decided upholding the Railroad Com
mission the reduction would have
gone in force. Last week, however,
the Corporation Commission (Which,
by the way, is not correctly written,
the apostrophe and IS" being left of
of the corporation) ordered that the
old charges be restored, the order
to become effective at once. This
order will have the effect of stop
ping the suit in court. What pleas

England's Good will for England's Good.
New York Journal.
There Is a possibility of trouble in
Nicaragua. If any attempt IS m .de
to arrest American citizens by Cen
e1al Torres the Detroit's guns will
take hand in the controversy.
1t is evident that President Zelaya
entertains a hostile feeling toward
the United States. European influ
ences control him. He will not hesi-
tate to commit some overt act against
this country with even a half way
assurance of England's support.
England is only waiting an oppor-
tunity to make the outworn Clayton
Bulwer treaty pretext for protest
against American control of the
canal. To that end it is secretly con-
niving with Zelaya in fostering q
spirit of ill-will against the United
States. The Anglo-American alli-
ance is great thing when applied
to the maintenance of the open door
in the East, but the mask is torn off
when England's right to a partner
ship in the Nicaragua canal is ques-
toned.
