1t seems probable that the high
water mark has been reached for
pensions, under existing pension
laws. Nearly $1,000 names were
dropped from the pension roll last
year, chiefly because of the death
of pensioners. The addition to the
lists from the combined ranks of
the Civil War Veterans and the
soldiers of the Spanish War failed
to offset this decrease by a round
10000. The expenditures show a
corresponding decline, being less
by about S., 900, 900 than those of
the previous year. The conclusion
is plain. Time is doing his work.
From now on the ranks of the
Civil War veterans will be thinned
more rapidly than were the ranks
of the soldiers even in the most de-
structive period of the war.

The crops are very heavy, bnt the
trouble is getting them harvested.
Wheat and oats have not been cut,
and the barley is still in sheaf.
The frost has not done any damage
so far but may come now any
night. If the people here could
only get hot weather in August to
ripen their grain, it would be a
great country, that, however, is
the serious problem. Here it is
now in the second week of Septem-
Der and the wheat and oats yet to
harvest. The farmers are in con-
slant dread from the time the grain
is sown until it is treshed-first
fear of the hail, second, the frost.

TENDER, it would be great country,

grows luxuriously. l think l

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER "a, 100,

There is great deal of dissatis.
faction throughout western Oregon
over the proposed withdrawal OF
certain lands from settlement and
extending the boundaries of the
Cascade forest reserve. The people
are certainly justifiable in protest
ing against the creation of perma-
nent reserves before the law and
regulations have been modified so
that the creation of a reserve shall
not result in gift of thousands Of
acres of valuable timber lands to
"scrippers." GAS it now is the Gre
ations of new reserves seems only
to benefit corporations who hold
donated land in the withdrawn
territory and in return are given
scrip with which they gobble up
thousands of acres of the best tim
Der that rightfully should go to
bonafide settlers. Apart from
this the whole reserve policy seems
to be over done. In this county
nearly half our area is within the
borders of a reserve.
Most of this same territory is
rich in mineral yet it's development
is almost prohibited by the never
ending "red tape" of the depart
ment governing reserves. 1t is
all right to protect timber on
the public domain and every good
citizen will assist tn the work.
But when large portion of your
state is thrown into e reserve and
you have to get permit before you
can dig a ditch, blaze trail or even
stretch a telephone wire it begins
to strike the average citizen as be-
ing little overdone.

FINANCIAL M COMMERCIAL OUT
LOOK.

The New York Times in q recent edl-
torfaI severely criticises he anIpula-
tions OF the markets by the spectators
and m~anipuIators. While c~ensuring
them for taking advantage OF all kind
of ridiculous rumors and circumstances
that have no real influence on the mar
kets for running UP prices and then
causing a break it says:
oNeanwhile the immense wheat crop,
which promises TO be the greatest we
have ever raised, the continuing in
crease in railroad earnings, the good
demand for none the country over, in
dicating hat every dollar is NJ work,
and all the familiar and remarkable
signs of the nations prosperity receive
not the slightest attention.
The Times sees nothing alarming in
the financial or business conditions OF
the country It thinks the outlook very
favorable. 1t says that Mr.. Russell
Sage has taken q look ahead and he
predicts tina after several weeks Of
duIIness we shall have = higher range
of values because the country IS Won
derfuIly prosperous and earnings are
good-and in the end it is the earnings
that count The paper then proceeds
to say:
In truth, earnings are the only things
that do count. The national wealth IS
built up out OF earnings. n Wnen the
earnings OF railroads and other INDUS
tries show an increase over previous
years We may be pretty sure that the
national wealth is increasing, unless
waste and improvidence in some other
quarter diminish the store. We know
thai our imports are very large, but that
is not waste. Instead of contracting
new loans abroad we appear TO be pay
ing off the old ones. some Of which have
ruE a good many months. The reduc-
ton of the Bank of England rate OF dis
count from 4 TO , IL per cent, shows
that London is not lager just now TO
draw away our gold, which, owing 10
our rigid and cumbrOus independent
treasury system, must be taken from
the general money supply and not from
the treasury, which could easily part
with it. We have been harassed by Ia
Dor troubles, and they always occasion
waste n loss. But the conduct Of or
ganized labor during the strike month
May has almost everywhere been so ar
rogant and unreasonable as TO forfeit
public sympathy and support alto
gether. insOmuch that the disturbances
have been less serious than was ex-
pected, and are now on the wane.

Things Getting Panicy in New York

New York. May 25.-Following the
close of the stock market it was ru-
mored in Wall street that a conference
of the leading %financial. interests would
be held up town in the evening to re-

adopt remedial measures. 1t was
strongly intimated in certain quarters
that the warning factions in Pennsyl-
vania railroad and the Western Union

come together and make mutual con-
cessions, A canvass of the clubs and
hotels failed to bear out these reports,
and inquiries in authoritative quarters
all showed that the liquidation which
was so conspicuous in today's market
would be allowed to run its course.
