Favorable Reports From Outside Towns
Prospects, Of the Enterprise.
Secretary Thielson is meeting with
some encouraging results in the matter
of co operation among Marion and Polk
county towns to secure funds to send an
authorized immigration agent to visit
the East in the interest OF this section.
Among those who have responded favor
ably are I. J. Graves, of Mccoy. He is
a leading citizen of that beautiful and
rich section of country, to the West Of
us, and realizes with all progressive men
that something should be done to keep
mp with the procession. lie says that
their community is willing TO pay its
share and no doubt as the word is passed
along many of the other towns that have
not yet responded will decide to fall in
and help along this good cause.
The plan of our Chamber of Com
merce TO secure immigration from
among the manufacturing and superior
farming sections OF the Middle West,
and there interest some OF the skilled
farmers and artisans in our Wonderful
Willamette Valley. This will not cost
any one community very much, and will
surely result in great good TO all.

The Theory of Laughing vs.. Crying.

A famous doctor once said that to be-
healthy woman should have good
cry" at least once in every fortnight
So far rs we know no one has ever
placed limit upon how often mankind
should laugh and the popular theory il
that the oftener one laughs the better.
Looked ut from this point OF view the
projectors Of that famous farce comedy,
"At Gay Coney Island" have accom-.
plished vast deal OF good. II is GER
tainly impossible To crowd another
laugh into the two and one-half hours
consumed in the performance, 10 II
audience laughs all the time.

steamship Aground.

The big Allan I.iue steamship Califor-
MAN, which left her dock in Portlond at
midnight, went ashore on Ram Island
ledge, just outside of the harbor, few
minutes after her pilot left her, Sunday
morning. The master of the Califor-
MAN is Capt. John France, one of the
Oldest and most capable employees OF the
ine.
The Californian was In charge of Pilot
Edward l.. Parsons, one of the ablest In
the service. The wind was blowing
hard from the southeast, and was ac-
comp4nied at the time by heavy rain.
There was heavy sea running. Pilot
Parsons left the ship on reaching the bell
off Cushing's Island point, after he gave
the officers of the ship the correct course.
Within ten minutes after the Californian
was hard and fast aground on Ram Is
land ledge. This Is reef which runs
out from Ram Island. For some reasons
which has not yet been satisfactorily ex-
planned, the ship had gone several points
of her course when she strnck.
This was the third trip that she had
made from this port during the season.
She was bound to Glasgow by the way
of Halifax. The latter part of last week
she arrived In Portland. The cargo which
she took was Of about 5000 tons and was
valued at about $3.50, 900. 1t was made
up mostly of produce and large
amount Of cheese. There were aboard
six cabin, five intermediate and ten steer
age passengers, all of whom were from
Canada. The passengers were all taken
to Portland, Monday.

Dean c. Worcester of the Philippine
commission, lectured at the University Of
Wisconsin, last week, upon the Philip
pines. After describing his experience
in his travels about the islands, Prof.
Worcester is reported to have sand:
Where the natives are somewhat
acquainted with the whites through
Spanish occupation, the rule may be
applied that the morality of the people
increases as the square of the distance
from Spanish occupation increases
any of these island people have not
yet arrived at the dignity of tribal or
ganlz tion. This, however, applies only
to the civilized people"
In regard to slavery in Sulu, Prof
Worcester admitted that it existed to a
considerable extent. but did not think
absolute prohibition would remedy it
He advised that it be gradually rooted
out by providing against any addition to
the slave class by birth or otherwise
Continuing, Prof Worcester said
THE Filipino has many good points but
has utterly no experience in the affairs
of government Besides this. he is, as a
rule, intensely ignorant Selfgovern
ment is absolutely impossible The only
sensible course is to gradually increase
their rightSand privileges "

Because large portion o. the Philippine
Islands are people d by uncivlized people
there is no reason to suppose that this
will always be the fact. The islands are
able to sustain much greater population
than they now do, and Manila will yet
rival Hong Kong in competition for the
trade with China and Japan. tits in better
position to control the trade with India
than any great port which Great Britain
owns. Besides, we Can and do now pro-
duce iron and steel manufactures more
cheaply than Great Britain can. There
will also be large demand for the coarser
grades of cotton and wooden goods
Most of the Southern mills are turning to
the production of the cheaper class OF
goods in preparation of the coming demand
from the vast populations OF western Asia.
The manufacture of such goods in the
Philippine Islands by the aid of native
labor may be one of the means of giving
its people some of the advantages of
Western civilization. Training to habits
of industryis for most of the Philippine
natives quite as important as the learning
they can acquire in school
