iNEW MAP IN PREPARATION
A Fine Map of Oregon is Nearly
Completed in Portland.

For several weeks prior to his
resignation, Col f. V. Drake had
been impatiently awaiting the COM
pletion of large map of the state.
He had made contract with the
Title, Guarantee & Trust Company,
the publishers, for the very first copy
placed on sale, and hoped to have it
for use some weeks sooner. But
Messrs. Huber and Maxwell, the COM
pliers, who have, with other assist
ants, been engaged for. over three
years in compiling the necessary data
from Government and local surveys,
delayed the completion Of their work
until the very last Government sur
veys could be approved and the last
surveyed section be dclineated on the
map.
What is denominatcd proof

hung upon the walls Of the Informa.
tion Bureau last evening for tenn.
porary use. It is to be replaced by a
fully finished, colored and vanished
copy as soon as the work can be done

the entire unsnryeyed and surveyed
areas of the state. Every section Of
land which has been approved by the
Government up TO within the last 60
days is accurately shown in the work.
All streams, harbors, county lines,
railroads and like detail are accurate

The Burning Issue.

The saloon Is the most audacious
lawbreaker Of the age.
The foes Of the saloon must unite
against its friends.
II the saloon is to be overthrown,
the church must overthrow IL.
Tho saloon can no more maintain
respectability than skunk can act as
a salesman for q cologne factory.
The mans hands are red with blood
who stands aloof from the temper
anco cause. SO said Chas. q. Finney,
years ago.
Everything is not in the temper
anoe reform. but the temperance re
form is in everything. So repeatedly
said Francis Il. willard.
Prohibitionists do not claim thai
prohibition is tho only issue. They
do claim, however. that there Is M
other issue worthy Of the votes o.
moral and Cristian men and patriots
so long AZ the saloon issue Is un
settled.
There are men who seem 10 thinl
that as a Christian church membe!
they could not be justified in choos
ing the least Of two evils, but NJ
citizens Of tho commonwealth they
could be justified. When the devi
gets the citizen, where will tn,
church member be?
Two hundred rattlesnakes running
through the town unmolested. bitiDG

that's free rum. Put the 300 snakei
in box with 200 holes In it-that'l

and the snakes will all 10 out at the

the snakes all over into the adjoining
county-that's local option; cut of

Thus Saith tho Lord.

Woe to him that buildeth town

MONEY THROWN AWAY
VIII Be II Sl65.000 Goes Into
Portage Railway.
Portland. April "a,

Portland, April "a.
(To the Editot)-I have noticed with
great deal OF interest the able articles
recently published in your columns by
w. @. Cowgirl OF Baker City, upon the
subjects for referendum to the people at
the next general election Of the laws
passed last legislature appropriating
money of the people to build Portage
railroad at the Dalles imposing a pro
rata capital stock tax on every form Of
incorporated business in the etate,
striking particularly at those who are
endeavoring to develop our wonderful
natural resources in minerals and the
law which takes away from the poor
man and laborer his right OF exemption
under present statutes from taxation
and execution Of $500 worth OF his tools
and household goods.
am especially struck by the injustice
Of that law which takes from us mining
men Sl65, 100000 to build that much
talked of portage road, Every business
man and every engineer who has ex-
amined the situation knows that it will
take at least a half million dollars to
build the road and terminal docks, equip
it for operation, to say nothing OF a
fund to run it from one legislature TO
another.
As business proposition 1t 10
absolutely silly. The question Of
Columbia river transportation is one for
the national government TO solve and 1t
has already done so by appropriating
81 900, 900 and ordering Its engineers TO
begin work Immediately upon a canal
and locks between Cello and the Dalles,
which is the only true and feasible
method OF bringing about cheap water
transportation. and which proposition
the railroad company has already offered
to assist the government in bringing to
a successful issue.
am very glad to zoe the petitions for
the referendum OF these matters being
circulated all oyer the city, and have
assisted in spreading the information
as far as possible. 6nd that the work.
ingmen and middle classes have
awakened to the situation and are
signing all OF these petitions.

MOVEMENTS OF WARsHIPs.
Asiatic Squadron May Be Needed at
Panama

Although officially stated to be without
special significance, the action of the Navy
Department in withdrawing the principal
portion of it's fleet from Asiatic waters at
the present critical stage Of the negotia-
tions between Russia and Japan over east
ern questions, is attracting unusual inter-
est in diplomatic circles.
Some persons have expressed the belief
that the United States has ordered these
vessels to Honolulu, which is beyond the
limits of their station, for the purpose Of
having them available for possible service
in connection with the proposed early con-
struction of the Panama canal.
1t is said at the Navy Department that
there is no such purpose in the proposed
movement of the Asiatic feet, and that it is
simply in accordance with the plans of the
general naval board for general maneuvers
by all the naval fleets whenever possible.
A cable message was received at the
Navy Department this morning from Rear
Admiral Evans, commanding the Asiatic
fleet, acknowledging the departments or
der for the practice cruise to Honolulu
by way Of the Midway Islands, and saving
that his fleet will sail from Yokohama on
the 1st proximo
Admiral Evans is now at Kobe with the
battle ships Kentucky and Wisconsin The
battle ship Oregon and the cruisers Gin
cinnaH, Raleigh and New Orleans are at
Yokohama. These vessels comprise the
feet which will make the practice cruise.
It is calculated that they will be gone from
their station about two months.
