The Court Granted the Injunction,
Messrs. Miller & Bonsal. counsel for Edward

Court here for an injunction against Messrs.
Robert H. Bussey and Osborne /. Yellott,
trustees and executors of the late Charles 3. K.
Goodwin. Under the will of the late Penelope

Charles E. r. Goodwin enjoyed the use for life
of one-fourth of the farm of the testatrix be-
ing something more than one hundred acres
and situated at Timonium. 9Th district. If he
died leaving descendants the farm was to 60 to

this property by will. He had no children or
descendants. He named as trustees in the Will

Something is evidently wrong with
the so-called Paul Mohr transportation
scheme when newspapers OF suchprOm-
inenoe in Eastern Oregon as the East
oregonian speak of it in the following
terms.
1T is reported by several papers that
two steamers are to be constructed al
Portland and one at Pasco for the
Paul Mohr Transportation Company.
This news should be taken with grain
Of salt. From appearances II would
seem that this enterprise largely con-
sisted OF a desire to create the Inn
preston that 1t was in the field for
business, while in fact it was promoted
for the purpose Of quick returns from
a direction which would more or less
be effected by opposition. When the
Paul Mohr Transportation Company
rids itself Of this suspicion 1t will be
time enough for the people and the
press to have confidence in its state
ments and movements. Up TO this
time nothing has been done to merit
any such confidence.

LESSONS OF THE WAR.

New York Tribune.
The conflict in South Africa, as did
more than one Of its predecessors. gives
the world interesting Lessons in the
art of war. 1t has become a truIsm that
our war of 1872 showed the value Of
sights on naval guns. So our civil war
transformed the nayies Of the world oy
demonstrating the effectiveness Of the
ironclad and the monitor. A revolu-
ton in small arms was provoked by
the success Of the needle gun in the
Austro- -Prussian war Of 1866. Our war
with Spain first demonstrated the DO
tency Of the modern navy. Today in
like manner the South African war is
showing the efficacy Of modern small
arms and smokeess powder.
1t is seen, for example, that the day
Of infantry charges across the open
against entrenchments is past. At
Gettysburg and Sedan such things
were possible, though even then they
we're costly and not always successful.
A brigade or division could rush
across a few hundred yards Of ground
Ind reach its goal and use the bayonet
before 1t could be decimated by a rifle
ire at the rate Of two shots a minute.
At Gettysburg Picketts division

ions 1t is moderate to estimate the
peril to the charging troops as in
creased fifty fold. Increase Picketts

mention fifty fold-and you have ami

because there are no facilities for de-
livering the cargo they seek on the sea-

miles inland for wheat, because the
transportation companies will not de-

coast. But does anyone think because
more rubber is loaded on ships at Para

Para is a great seaport? Does any one

A writer in yesterdays Oregonian,
under the alleged date Of Astoria, re-
fers to Astoria's nearness to the ex-

it has ever occurred to this writer and
the editor Of the paper in which his
certainly excellent article is published,
that all he says about Astoria's value

even greater force to all other lines OF

duced in the United States row reaches
100000 boxes a year, the weight Of

growth is remarkable. 1t shows the

new processes. Tin plate making was

PROMISING BUSINESS coNDI-
TIoNS.

The business conditions of this coun-
try and trade and the rapid increase
eral and substantial prosperity as they
are at present. The growth in indus.
try and trade and the rapid increase
in values are not the result OF mad in
fiation. They are the logical outgrowth
of the strong financial condition Of
both our government and people.
This country now for the first time
holds the largest amount OF gold of any
nation in the world. and our public and
private credit is unsurpassed. Our ex-
ports immensely exceed the average
amount of our supplies to other ma
tions and the balance of trade is enor-
mously in our favor. These are condi-
tions which are inseparately connect
ed with the prosperity of the producers
OF the land. and when they are pros
porous the whole people are prosper
Gus.
The accumulation OF money in the
great financial centers of the republic
does not always indicate a prosperous
country. In the severe business de-
preston of several years ago. money
accumulated in business centers be-
cause the people had neither the credit
nor the opportunity to invest it profit
ably, but today the investments are
larger than ever before known. The
sale Of stocks and securities on the
New York stock board last week were
unexampled in volume, and yet with
all this great absorption Of money in
stocks and bonds and speculative ven
lures there is very large surplus of
money in all the leading cities. It
means that We are so largely earning
in excess Of our expenditures that it
will require fioodtlde of initiation to
produce a stringent money market.
Thus far the advance in prices and
the development of new enterprises
have been in the line of healthy prog
ress. There are plenty who say that
securities are too high because they
command higher price than they did
score or half score Of years ago in
prosperous times, but they forget that
the six per cent standard Of the value
Of money accepted only half a genera
tion ago, is now reduced to the stand |
ard Of three and a half per cent az a
fair return for money. 1t was the high
rate Of interest that exhausted the re-
sources Of the producers Of the land
and brought millions Of capital here
from abroad for investment, but TODAY
money is cheaper in New York than
1t is in London because we have the
super-abundance that they once had.
Everything now points to a season
Of most substantial prosperity, and
there is not even cloud as big as a
mans hand On the business horizon
to indicate the possibility Of revulsion.
There is danger Of reaching the point
Of reckless imitation but that has not
yet been approached, and until it does
come the general business of the coun-
try may be regarded as based on the
most substantial foundation. Our
country has today every possible ele-
mept Of prosperity for all classes and
with every indication that
1t must endure until some great failure
Of industrial products or wild infa-
ton in speculative circles shall halt
