It is interesting to the political stu
dent in these days to note that the
political power is drifting from the
east to the west at a far greater speed
than the center of population moves.
Not many years ago both of the great
political parties calculated on the
probability of carrying New York in
presidential campaigns as II of the
necessary elements Of party success.
This was accomplished by giving the
first or second place on the ticket to
a New York man. When Blaine was
the candidate of his party, it was. the
accepted opinion that had there been
a man from that state in place of
General Logan, Blaine would have
carried the state and been elected.
This was not the true condition but
1t was the usually accepted one. No
one has ever questioned the fact that
Cleveland being a New Yorker
was the cause Of nomination. The
same reason placed Morton iii second
place with Harrison. New York has
produced but few statesmen. 1t has
had a large number Of politicians.
who have arrogated to themselves the
task of running the two political
parties, an incidentally the nation it.

population did not cut even a
respectable figure in politics. But

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AND
THE CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
FRIDAY, AUGUST %, 1903.

The Daily inter- Ocean yesterday
contained a brief outline of the work
being done by the committee in this
county toward an exhibit from the
county at the St. Louis exposition.
Thu men in charge of the matters are
n guarantee of the success of the I'M
rdertaking.
The matter is of vital importance
Ito the people Of the county. We have
$50 often in these columns, urged upon
our readers the Importance Of getting
substantial people to locate in this
county, that it has become rather
stale. But there are so many ad-
vantages to the people already here in
having a greater population, and more
diversified industries in the county,
that, like the scriptures, it becomes
better from the oft telling. There
are many people IN the east es-
pecially. who can not be made to be-
,lieve even when presented in the
strongest terms on the printed pages,
land when coroborated by lndisputable
facts, that much of the vegetation
found in the state can be grown here.
The exhibit at the st. Louis exposi-
stion will convince these skeptics as
nothing else would. They are pro-
igressive people and when they are
.once convinced Of the facts about
North Dakota, and Ramsey county,
would not hesitate to become citizens.
The writer we'll remembers the
curiosity the grain exhibit at Buffalo
created among eastern people, and the
discussions among those people who
seat spring wheat bread every day
without realizing the conditions
necessary to produce it in such quaint
titles, would be amusing to a Ramsey
county citizen. Presenting the actual
productions of the county to the eyes
of the thousands who Will visit the
exposition will give a true ADVERTISE
ment of the II of the county
that could not be made in an other
manner. 1t Is an opportunity we

I'VE afford to make a poor exhibit, for
If we did that it would not only not
represent the county, but it would be
taken for the best the county could
afford and woall iniure us. The
people would not only not know the
truth, but would have a false condi-
:tion presented as the truth. It is cary
to see then, why the best exhibition
. even made by the county should be at
st. Louis. We want it so that il
will be an advertisement per Sc. The
committee can make it such if they
have the right kind of support from
the people, and there is too much enter
prise in the people of this county
ln0At to give them a most enthusiast,
support. Don't boom Ramse,
county. Tell the truth about it
That is good enough to advertise i
over the whole country.

Fire DESTROYS Historic Building
at Scottsburg.

The first fire in the oldest town,
except Jacksonville, in Western Ore
gon, occurred on Wednesday, July IS.
Two buildings were destroyed. One
was the saloon building belonging
to Gus Mitchell, the other the old
building known as the Patterson hotel
Cin Scottsburg) The hotel building
was an ancient landmark. 1t was
built in 1850 by Mr.. Scott, after whom
the town was named TIE lumber
used in its construction was sawed
in one Of the old-time sawmills then
in operation at or near the town.
This building was older than Rose
burg, Portland, Salem, Eugene or
Ashland Oregon City was then a
very new frontier Oregon town.
Jacksonville was lively mining
camp Joseph Lane was then governor
Of the territory Of Oregon. The
county seat of Umpqua county was
then at Green valley, Underwood 5
ranch. A few years later, about 1861,
Umpqua county was, by popular vote,
attached to Douglas county. From
Scottsburg there was only pack trail
through the wilderness Of forest and
prairie to the Willamette aud Rogue
river valleys. More than 500 Indians
then lived between Scottsburg and

FAILED TO FIND VICTIMS
Benton County Assessor Was
Eluded by His Prey.

The news came to town Friday
morning that the cries Of panther
had been heard in the woods in the
vicinity OF the Stahlbusch Island.
For two hours during the morning OF
Friday. the air in the vicinity re-
sounded with unearthly calls and
yells, generally described as resem-
bling panther in deep trouble.
Subsequent investigation showed
that the noise was made by Assessor
Bush who tried to find his way to
the island for the purpose Of assess
ing the Stahlbusch boys. He could
neither find the boat along the bank
nor his way in the woods, and hence
the panther yells. He returned to
Corvallis without finding his victims.

A PIONEER REMlNlSCENCE
How Wheeler and Others Cros-
sed Rogue River in '49.

Jason Wheeler Of Albany is one Of
the earliest pioneers Of Oregon now
living in the state. A few years ago
Mr.. Wheeler was visiting relatives in
Grants Pass and related some reminis-
cences of a trip through Southern
Oregon which he took in ls49. when
there were no inhabitants except In
dians in all this district With a
party Of companions. he was bound
for the gold fields Of California, hay
mig heard glowing reports Of the rich
ness Of the new discoveries in that
region.
sit was about there, said Mr..
Wheeler, Indicating the place where
the Dry Diggings hill comes down to
meet the river, "that we crossed
Rogue river in 1s49. He was not
able TO locate the place with accur-
acy but was certain that 1t was some
where near the point Of the hill
That was before the days Of ferries on
Rogue river, bat at the place where
the trail crossed, there was rude
skiff. Owing TO the fact that tile
rush Of travel was southwark on ac-
count Of the gold excitement, the skin
was always on the wrong side Of the
river, and il was 80 in the present
case. The party was somewhat puz-
zled as to how 70 transport themselves
ana their belongings across the stream
and decided that one or more OF their
number should swim across and bring
the boat TO tina, side OF the river.
None Of the party were anxious for
the task on account Of the Indians,
who were forever lurking about and
who would not hesitate to improve an
opportunity for murder II they could
find white man unprotected. Mr-
Wheeler finally volunteered TO cross II
the rest Of the part would cover the
opposite bank with their rifles. One
Of the others, however, proposed a
plan by which two Of them might cross
together. A forked pine log La near,
and this was launched in the riyer,
while Mr.. Wheeler and his companion
got aboard to paddle it across the
stream. The clumsy craft capsized
while about miwday Of the river and
precipitated both men into the
stream. They had rather hard time
in reaching the opposite shore but
finally succeeded, secured the skin and
ferried over the remainder Of the
party. Just after all had made q
safe landing, an Indian was seen dodg-
ing from tree to tree along the top OF
the bank on the side the party had
Just quilted and one Of the men took
shot at him with rifle. The In
dian fell but none Of the party re.
turned TO that side TO investigate the
results
On. his return from that trip tc
California, Mr.. Wheeler was one OF
the famous party that were ship
wrecked near the mouth of Rogue
river and made their way overland
through the wilderness to the vii
hlmette valley, trip that was full Of
priyation and has become famous ~
one OF the incidents in the history oi
Oregon.
