EsTILL IS A DEMOCRAT.

Hon. J FL Estill, candidate for gov
ernor, is a man of the strongest convlc"
tons for the right He is outspoken
on all public questions and no trim

the liquor question, which is as follows:
Savannah, Ga, Feb. :, 1902.
Messrs @. r. Pringle and G.. A. Nun
pally, Sandersville, Ca:
Gentlemen-Youa ask me two ques-
tons. I shall answer them frankly.
First: You ask me if, as a candidate
for governor, will take position in
favor of electing senators and repre-
sentatives who favor State prohibition.
I answer no. I do not think a general
prohibition law would be for the best
interests of the State. I believe in To-
cal option. That has been approved by
the Democratic party of the State
State prohibition has not. I would
not, however, offer opposition to the
nomination of good Democrats who
believe in State prohibition.
Second: You ask me whether, if elect
ed governor, [ would recommend in
my message to the legislature, and
would give my approval to legislation
calculated TO abolish barrooms and
mitigate the evils incident to the traf-
fic in intoxicating beverages. IF you
mean, would I recommend the enact
ment of a general prohibition law, ]
answer no. If you mean, would sign
q general prohibition bill if one were
passed by the legislature, I answer
yes. In such a matter I do not be-
lieve [ would be justified in setting ar
my judgment against shat of the legis
lature.
am temperance man, and would
gladly assist IN lessening the evils o.
liquor traffic. believe that by educa
tional methods and local option the
liquor traffic can be so restricted thai
It's evils will be scarcely noticeable
and that eventually the traffic can bt
stopped. I do not believe it can bt

I hope I have answered your ques
tions fully. Yours very truly.

Tuesdays New York Times remarks
that the war between the United States
and Spain ended yesterday That is to
say, not until yesterday were the rela-
tions of unqualified friendliness that
existed before the war restored. The
new treaty between the two countries
which places us again on a plane OF
complete amlty and friendship is most
welcome, and we beg leave to extend
to Spain the assurance of our most dis

CONGRESSMAN LEWIS BILL.

The Times Recorder notes from the
Associated Press that
Representative Lewis of Georgia has
introduced bill requiring the pay
ment of per cent. interest on govern
ment funds IN national banks"
This is very important measure and
on account of Mr.. Lewis experience
as banker and successful fnancier
it will be ably handled in the house.
Hon. E. B. Lewis, our popular repre-
sentative, is taking rank among the
ablest and most influential men in
Congress. Mr. Lewis has ever been
and is now most active Ia his Efforts to
have the obnoxious war taxes repealed.
He realizes that this is a great burden
on the people, especially the agricultur-
al south; for it is upon this section that
the greatest hardship falls, and the
congressman from the Third Will doubt
less be heard on the floor of the house
before this question is settled. Mr..
Lewiss will speak for the repeal, of
course, as he is always on the side for
the rights of the people of Georgia and
the south.

ST. VALENTINES DAY.

apollo has peeped through the shutter
And awakened the witty and fair:
The bOarding-school bellies in a fiutter,
The postman is in despair:
The breath of morning is fiinging
A magic on blossom and spray,
And Cockneys and sparrows are singing
In chorus on Valentines Day"

TbIs, the 14th day of February, is
kept sacred to the memory of good st.
Valentine, who bears the lovers' bur
dens and shares their sorrows, never
wearying of his labors This is the day
when the air is filed with flying mis-
sives, laden with tender sentiments,
and the poor postman creams beneath
his load of delicately scented embar-
rassments.

A MARITAL VALENTINE.

The daughter of an elderly couple
said to her father: Papa, why don't
you send mama a valentine this year
1t would please her so much, and be
such surprise, if you did" He ans
werea readily enough that he would be
willing, 'but I don't know what to
get. Flowers, should it be? Or candyP
Or Iewelry.
They were very wealthy people, and
none of these offerings struck the
daughter as novel enough to particu-
larly delight her mother. 81 think best
of all, she announced, "she would like
something more loving
Her father began to shake his head,
"We've been married twenty-five
years, you know"-he started to say,
but she interrupted him brlskly:
That's the very reason. Let's try II,
and see. You get q valentine-a true
true valent1ne-and- papa, find
one with apple blossoms on it, they
are mama's favorIte flowers. And well
see if it does not make her happier than
all those expensive things we gave her
at Christmas pat together"
The still dubious, but obedient
parent accordingly sailed out IN his
search for the proper offsring. He
found the apple blossom, but only on
a comparatively cheap valentine. How
ever, as the true American father is
trained to mind his children, he docile-
ly brought it home.
They set it up on the chifonier in the
maternal dressing room, so that she
should see it there the first thing on
the 14th of February. And there her
husband presently found her-remem-
Der, this is true story-in tears before
his gift, "John, am so happy" she
said, and she kissed him, although
thew had been married for a quarter of
q century. "You never gave me

card does, dear
Then John knew that his daughter
understood women better than he did

The new Constitution of Virginia
will contain at least one provision
which ought to be in the organic law
of every State. That is the clause
which requires that municipal fran
chises shall be sold to the highest bid
der and shall extend only th1rty years
Both these provisions are wise and
just. Giving away valuable franchises
and for very long or unlimited periods,
is robbery OF the people.

Polk County Oil investigator
Declines An Interview
Favorable Indication Found of
Petroleum Deposits.

Joseph Hirschberg, the Independ
ence banker, who is making a thor.
ough investigation of alleged oil de
posits in Polk county, was in Salem
this morning, going TO Portland on the
Albany local.
When seen Mr. Hlrschberg refused
TO be interviewed on the matter of his
investigations, but his declination to
talk on the subject by no means indi.
Gates any doubt in his mind as tn the
ultimate results of the undertaking.
Mr.. Hirschberg is a conservative busi-
ness man, and does not believe in ere
ating any unnecessary excitement In
connection with prospective oil busi-
ness here in the valley until actual
conditions warrant the announcement.
Mr.. Hirschberg did state however,
that the further boring of the well
near Monmouth has been postponed
for the present, until a casing can
be placed in the well, the surplus
water removed, and the true nature
of the wells contents and the charac-
ter of the same can be determined
The well has been sunk to O depth Of
about 700 feet, but Mr.. Hirschberg will
not be content until the earth has been
penetrated to a considerably greater
depth. II is not generally believed
that oil has yet been found, although
all manner of rumors to that effect
have been in circulation for the past
two weeks. From a person who has
been kept advised of the progress of
the work, the reporter learned some
interesting facts in connection with
the boring of the well. A depth OF
over 600 feet was reached before any
water was found When about 700
feet down an immense flow of very
salty water was encountered, which
necessitated a suspension of further
boring until II can be pumped out. Mr..
Hirschberg had sample of the water
chemically analyzed, and found 1t con.
tanned a big proportion of salt Of a
good quality. This is considered ia
vorable indication of the existence of
oil. Further developments In connec-
tIon with Mr.. Hirschberg's explora.
tion will be eagerly awaited, since the
final success OF the venture means so
much to the entire Willamette valley

the law, the amount OF the interest SO

Hamilton Fletcher Tells Of

try.

Hamilton Fletcher, son OF Hon. ].
H. Fletcher, returned Wednesday af.
ternoon from the State OF Sonora,
Mexico, where he has mining inter
ests Mr.. Fletcher will probably re-
main in Oregon now, as he disllkes the
climate and general conditions that
are TO be encountered i'm that country.
Mr. Fletcher-is in partnership with
George Cline, of Woodburn, and they
own some very promising gold quartz
property in Sonora, about 200 miles
south OF Bisbee, Arizona. The men
are now negotiating with mining cap
italists Of Cripple Creek, Colorado, for
the sale of their holdings, and they
expect soon TO consummate the deal.
Mr., Fletcher says the mining indus
try of Mexico is being very extensive.
ly developed. Outside capital has
made large investments, and is reallz-
ing good returns from the mineral
wealth Of the country. Until within
the past year, transportation facilities
In the mining region in which the To-
cal men are interested, have been poor
and have greatly retarded the develop.
ment of the mines. A good railroad
now penetrates into the interior Of
Sonora and to a point within fifteen
miles Of the property owned by the
Salem parties.
Mr.. Fletcher says the country is ad.
yanclng wonderfully along Industrial
lines. Senator Clark, OF Montana, has
purchased thousands OF acres in Mexl.
co, and has begun the cultivation OF
India rubber, which is being grown on
large scale in that country. His
largest plantations are located near
the Yaqul valley. White labor is very
scarce In the State OF Sonora. Com.
mon white laborers receive So per
day, gold. for their services, which
are far superior to the natives, who
get 81 to $3.50. Mexican money
Mr.. Fletcher very much dislikes llv-
ing In Mexico. He says the climate is
very disagreeable. and II becomes 80
intensely warm during the summer
months that white man can't stand

and scarce. In fact, conditions are
