entirely on the President. ne
President says nothing, but keeps
on saving wood. Knowles gets
left. Davis gets the La Grande
registership. and the general pub
lilo gets tired of the whole busi~
ness. This incident is closed
next.
P,e.ident Roosevelt gives a
word Of kindly waning to the
strikingnnion men ofthe country.
''No ruies or regulations can be
permitted to over ride the laws Of
the United States, which it is my
sworn duty to enforce" That
sentence has the proper ring to
it, and the strikers will do wei
to heed it.
1t will be good news to the
lumbermen of the Coos Bay
country and the farmers and fruit
men near Roseburg to learn
that Major Kinney, the protector
of the Coos Bay, Roseburs and
Salt Lake Railroad has succeed
ed in raising all of the capital re-
quired to complete the road, now
building. 1t opens a rich sec
tion of country that has long
been inaccessible for want of
transportation facilities.
Tom L. johnson has captured
the democratic convention in
Ohio, and has been placed in the
much-coveted position known as
the "whole push" He opened
the campaign last week, and
with his friend Bryan, has been
stirring up the Ohio Democrats,
and promises them the usual
glorious victory. To be ''it' in
a democratic convention in re-
publican Ohio does not always
carry with it assurance of a state
victory. ..
Portland highwaymen have
reached that stage of audacity
and daring in their business that
robberies are committed right in
the heart of the city. A gentle
man was held up and robbed on 9
well-lighted and much travelled
street, within two blocks of the
postefice and Hotel Portland.
We are glad to learn, however,
that the police have kept them
selves in safe places and KEEP
their gloves clean, and not one o
them has yet been found or helt
up. For this the police commits
sion should receive great praise,
The annual convention of the
Grand Army of the Republic ha:
just closed in San Francisco, and
the fast diminishing column:
have broken rank and returned
to their homes. Gray haired and
bent, the old heroes who served
their country its hour of greatest
peril, who marched through the
valley of the shadow of death,
who conquered one of the brav'
est foes that ever drew sword
their own countrymen, and the
world is now doing homage te
both. The blue and the gray
now walk side by side. All
honor to the heroes on both sides
they are fast fading away.
The Volcano Colima, situated
in the state of Colima, Mexico,
and some thirty miles FROM the
city of the same name, is again
in eruption, and scientists think
it will change its shape. 1t is a
doublel peaked mountain, and
near its base is situated some o1
the finest coffee plantations in
the world. Colima coffee has Z
reputation for delicacy of flavor
that causes it to command the
highest price in the market
The entire crop, outside Of home
consumption goes to San Fran
cisco. It is unfortunate thai
every volcanic eruption in trop.
ical countries should destroy SC
many fine coffee plantations, but
we must remember that to pro-
duce the best coffee volcano is
the one essential quantity and
growers are always ready and
willing to take the chances.
