OPIUM HABIT

"The use of opium has largely in

In addition to these changes, the re-
port recommended that the appropria
ton for the Judiciary Department be
increased to 30 and against the
item of $4,000 for Hawi mill road.
The report of Expert Ables was not
read. COR
AS soon as the reading of the report
had been concluded Senator Aehi pro-
ceeded to jump onto the committee. He
moved that the report be tabled, be-
cause the committee had exceeded its
authority. The committee had been in
structed to report bills providing for
these appropriations for unpaid bills
and it was not asked to go ahead and
indulge in such extensive criticism of
the different departments There were
different committees who could attend
to that sort of thing The committee
should, repeated the speaker, have
handed in bills. that was what they
had been supposed to do If the COM
mitee kept on it would be going ahead
and trying to make all of the laws.
Senator Baldwin did not agree with
Senator Achi. Senator Baldwin said
that the committee had not made a
mistake at all, in carefully scrutinizing
the various items. If it had made any
mistake, it had been in not going far
enough and bringing in bills covering
the matter.
Replying for the committee Senator
Paris said that they had carefully scru-
tinized the items, as the Governor
message had suggested. In addition
to the report, the committee had pre-
pared two bills One covered the va
rious items, except those of the road
boards for which a separate bill was
prepared The two bills were passed
first reading accordingly, without fur
ther debate, while it was decided to
translate and print the report for the
benefit of the native members to be
considered with the bills

methods and operations by which
claims against the Territory can be
permitted to accrue to such a large
amount and in such manner. The
precedent established is an extremely
dangerous one, for, if public officials
without warrant of law, can pledge the
credit of the Territory for such a large
amount as here involved, there is no
limit to the amount ofdebt that can be
incurred by officials acting without
proper authority. We call your at
tention to that part of the Experts re-
port showing a profit to the contrac-
tors of $13,S77 90 for commissions re-
ceived on labor and material. We
feel that we must recommend that this
claim be lqudated for the reason that
the wharf was actually built and is
now in use and that, while material
was furnished and labor performed in
good faith. the law should make it i'm
possible for any re-occurrence of this
kind. We. therefore, make recommen-
dat ton thar the amount of $115, O2322 be
inserted in the bill for the purpose, the
same to be paid H. Hackfeld & Co.,

to said wharf, particularly that claim

A GREAT INDUSTRY.

The Corvallis Gazette thinks the
farmers Of Oregon are overlooking an
important industry in the production
of goat skins. The United States an
nually imports $25000,OOO worth of
goat skins. A large share of these are
brought from India, China, Arabia and
Southern Russia. The increasing
popularity of certain classes of kid
leather for foot wear, as well as gloves,
has Increased very greatly the demand
for goatskins in the United States
within recent years. In 1885 the value
Of goatskins imported was about 4,OOO,-
600, by 1890 it had grown to $1,000, 900,
by 1898 1t was $15,0O0,0O0, in 1900 it was
s22,0O0,OOO and in 1903 $25,OOO,OOO in
found numbers.
The census of 1900 showed the num-
Der of goats in the United States to
be less than 1000, 00O,and when 1t is
understood that the skins of probably
9O,OO0,000 goats were required to make
the $25,OOO0O0 worth imported last year
it would be seen that the supply from
the United States could have formed
but small part Of the total consump-
ton. Yet the fact that large share
of our supply of this import comes from
India, China France and Mexico, sug-
gests that there are large areas In the
United States which might produce
goats successfully and in sufficiently
large numbers to supply the entire
home demand.

NEEDS A GUARDIAN.

A man by name Of Roberts made
trip up the coast recently and upon re-
turn to his home in New Orleans, filed
a column Of the Picayune with a lot of
stun very creditable to a Mexican
"greaser" or member of New Orleans
Malta but an enlightened American citi
zen would blush to own it. In Calfor-
mia Roberts saw nothing but desert.
He was surprised that Oregon territory
was ever organized into a state,
Washington was equally as insignif-
cant in his eyes. It's risky to allow a
man like this to wander so far from
home alone. He belongs to the blow
out-the-gas crowd-an affliction left
over from the past age. The wonder
is he didn't get caught in an elevator
shaft or get run over by street car.
A country that charmed a Tom Reed,
inspired an Ella Wheeler Wilcox, re-
ceived eulogies from Grant and Nc
Kinley and raised highest hopes in the
breast of Roosevelt, makes no Impress
ion on a Roberts of New Orleans. The
Willamette river in whose crystal
depths inverted swings picture of the
sky" immortalized by Sam Simpson,
is nothing more than a stream of
water to Roberts. It's not recorded he
knows 1t runs down hill. The great
stream Of commerce Of the Northwest,
the Columbia river. was passed un-
noticed by him. The commerce of the
sound was equally insignificant in his
eyes. The beauties of snow-capped
peaks Of the mountain ranges were en-
tirely beyond his range Of vision. The
sound Of the Pacific ocean. with It'd
ings from the ports of the world could
awaken no response in the void of |
Roberts breast and he has left the |
West. His home is on the banks Of |
the Mississippi and his sphere shoot
ing craps with the "niggers." There
with his virtues circumscribed, his joys
and crimes confined. Roberts may live
and die, and the world win have gain
ed nothing by his life nor lost in his
death.
