Hon. 8. III. Timberlake of Stem.
bensville, O., has been nominated
by the Democrats for Congress, but
he has declined the nomination on
the ground that he can not support
Parker for President. who is clearly
the Trust candidate. The Demo.
tic politicians have sold the party
to the Trusts for campaign funds
and to try to get offices for them
selves.
The Beef trusts is openly support
porting Parker, because President
Roosevelt had the courage to enforce
the law against them.

"W. Burke Cochran says that he
never says anything in a speech
that he would not state in the wit
ness chair. His idea of an oath
seems to be distorted as was his
opinion of the southern people in
1S96."-Tarboro Southerner.
1t is more than probable that Mr..
Cochran made the above statement
befroe he Joined the democratic
party IF he still entertains the

the campaign this year, unless they
lind out that he has no respect for
an oath.

Editor Post. AS the prelimina.
ries are being arranged by the
political managers of the principals
In the big battle, the political
''scarecrow" has made its appearance
in the shape Of the race issue, which
has worked like charm in deter.
mining results in the Southern
States in the last decade. The
political ';strategists have resorted to
the cry Negro domination" when.
ever the success of the Democratic
party In the municipal or State
elections Of the South has been
threatened by Republican invasion.
Having successfully operated this
appeal in the State contests of the
South, it is the intention of the
democratic leaders, judging from
the interviews published in the daily
press, to inject the "race issue" into
the national campaign for the ex-
pressed purpose Of arraying the
whites against the blacks in States
other than the Southern States.
However, it remains to be seen
whether the sober-minded people of
the North, East, and West will be
the victims Of such q nefarious
scheme, invented for the purpose of
defeating the Republican candidates
oy detracting the voters attention
from the real issues of the cam
paign.
The plank in the Republican
platform, which favors a reduction
of representation according to the
voting population if, upon investi-
cation, it is discovered that the
franchise is unconstitution-
ally limited in any Of the States,
cannot be construed to be in the in

DEMOCRATIC GOOD GOVERNMENT
MEANS HIGH TAXES.

MEANS HIGH TAXEs.
The following is from CORES
pondence that appeared in the last
issue of the Asheville Saturday
Register:
Hayesville, July 12.-The valua-
ton of property for taxes in Clay
county for the year 1903 is one
third higher than it had ever been
before. The mountain land was
valued four times higher than ever
before. Farms that had been valued
at $4,000 were valued at $4,000.
s. l.. Rogers, corporation com.
missioner, came to Hayesvllle and
behind closed doors had a secret
meeting with the two Democratic
commissioners leaving the Republi.
can commissioner out, and when the
commissioners met to equalize the
tax the taxes of nearly every man
in the county were increased.
AT that meeting the remarks of
one distinguished citizen brought
blush of shame to the cheeks of
every Democrat present. He said
the valuation of his farm was raised
from $4,000 to $4,000 that the De-
mOcratic party through their news
papers, in their platforms, in season
and out of season, from the mount
aims to the sea shore, had preached
In favor of economy, retrenchment
and reform, for the past ten years;
that he had been loyal self sacri-
icing and enthusiastic supporter of
the Democratic party, and to COM
pensate him for his loyal services
they had valued his farm $4,000
higher than it had ever been valued,
He gave them to understand that in
the future he would vote as he
pleased. The Democrats now say
he has gone to the Radicals for Of
flee.
This man was chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
Clay county time or two and has
been elected to county office and is
one of the best business men in our
county,"
And Clay county is not the only
county in the state to which men
were sent out from Raleigh to in
struct the democratic tax assessors
how much money they would need
to meet their extravaganza. These
men were sent all over the state, at
the expense Of the taxpayers, to in
struct the assessors as to how much
money they must raise.
We can't see how the democratic
politicians are going to meet the 8
question of high taxes and extrava-
gance in office when they 60 out on
the stump this fall. They have t
always claimed to be in favor Off
economy, but the fact remains that l

Britain Sees War In Move.

London, Jan. Nobody will sus-
pect the captain of an American man
of war of being a scheming alarmist, "
says the Standard editorially this
morning.
This sentence expresses the view
taken by the press Of Great Britain Of
the grave condition of things in the
Far East, as revealed by the fact that
the United States government finds it
necessary to send marines to Seoul for
the protection of American interests.
While it is still hoped that a peaceful
issue may be found, this action Of the
United States is held to indicate that
the view of the situation taken at
Washington is that the crisis is drifting
rapidly to the danger point. The ac-
ton of the United States government is
generally approved.
The Morning Post says editorially
"The landing of American marines
proves that the United States is not
watching the Far Eastern imbrogilo
without intelligent interest. We hope
they will be accompanied by British
Marines"

American Marines to Scene.

Washington, Jan. 7.--The navy de-
partment is in receipt of two cable
grams from the commanding officer of
the United States steamer Vicksburg,
at Chemulpo, dated the 4th and 9th
inst, respectively, as follows:
"After consultation with the Ameri-
can minister, we are of the same
opinion. The aspect Of affairs at Seoul
is very grave. There is much fear of a
riot by Corean soldiers. l have com.
pleted arrangements to send company
of marines overland by railroad at the
critical moment; also about 35 men
and field guns from this vessel, at Che
mulpo, if deemed necessary.
The second message is as follows;
"Two officers and SO men left at 10
A. M. for Seoul. The remainder of the
guard is prepared il there is any de-
mand. There is little change ir the
situation"

HAPPENINGS HERE in OREGON
EXPENSES FOR YEAR.
viii Be the Largest Ever Known In the
History Of the State.

Salem-The expenses of the state OF
Oregon for the year 1904 will be ST.
49S, ,3l0.10. OF this amount $273,-
$40. 10 will be derived from miscellan-
eous sources, such as the corporation
tax, insurance tax, fees, sales of books,
ETC., and the remainder, $1,225, 900
was today apportioned among the sew
eral counties, to be raised by them by
direct taxes and to be paid by them
into the state treasury.
This expense account will be the
largest in the history Of the state, the
nearest approach to it being in 1892,
when 81 ,l2l ,345.51 was raised by di-
rect tax. The magnitude of the reve-
nue. to be raised in 1904 is due largely
to four appropriations, the Lewis and
Clark appropriation, $3.50, 900 of which
will be raised this year; the Portage
railway appropriation of $l65, 900, and
the Cello canal appropriation of $780,
900 and the Indian war veterans ap-
preparation of $100 900. If these four
unusual appropriations, amounting to
1915, 900, were deducted, the total ex-
pense would be but 1858, 900, and the
amount to be raised by direct taxation
would be but 100000. Aside from
the unusual appropriations, the ex-
penses of the state are lower than for
several years past.
On an assessed valuation of $780,
100000, which is approximately cor
rect, the revenue of 81, ,225, 900 will be
at the rate of not quite IN mills on
the dollar.

KANSAS TRAINS COLLIDE.
Engineers Are Killed and Many Passen-
gers Hurt.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. Rock Island
passenger train No. 8 collided with a
freight train about two miles west Of
Topeka about / o'clock this morning.
Engineers Reardon and Benjamin were
killed. Over dozen passengers were
fatally hurt.
All the passenger coaches except the
last two Pullmans were piled up in a
heap. The two trains met squarely in
a head-on collision.
Wrecking crews have been sent to the
wreck from Harrington and Horton.
Assistant General Superintendent
Sutherland said to the Associated Press
1--WE have no positive information at
this hour about the wreck other than
that both engineers and both 6remen
are killed. There are also some pas
sengers killed and injured but we dc
not know how many.
"'The last report we got from Willard
was that many people we're yet under
the wreckage and that all the cais were
wrecked but two."

WATER is THERE.
Arteslan Wells Needed In Southwest
Oregon for Irrigation.

Washington-Engineers of the geo.
logical survey, after making examina-
tions in southeastern Idaho, have come
to the conclusion that the irrigation Of
that country must be largely worked
out through the utilization of artesian
we'll water.
Silveis river and Donner and Bitten
river, which flow into Malheur and
Harvey lakes, are now utilized at their
full capacity for irrigation, but the de-
partment report that there are favor.
able conditions for storing the waste
waters of these two streams, thus in
creasing their efficiency. The mailer
streams of southwestern Oregon flow
mostly during the spring season, when
the snow on the uplands is melting or
during the prolonged rainy spells.
They all become dry during the sum-
mer. The full flow of these streams is
now utilized for irrigation, and it is
doubtful if any increased use can be
made of their water.
Therefore, attention is drawn to the
possibilities of developing artesian
wells in the southwestern counties of
Oregon. Experimental wells have al
ready been driven in the Harvey and
Whitehorse artesian basins and proved
the presence of subserface water and
sufficient pressure to cause it to rise in
the surface and overflow.
There are approximately 1000
square miles of territory lying in the
artesian basins of southeastern Oregon
and southwestern Idaho, but it is not
to be assumed that all this area can be
irrigated by means of artesian wells.
The conditions are such as to warrant
careful testing of each basin and a iu-
dicious development of its water sup
ply.

UMPoUA PROJECT is DOOMED.
Chief Of Engineers Deems Commerce Too
Small to Warrant Big Outlay.

Washington-The chief of engineers
today sent to congress report recon-
mending against any appropriation at
this time for improving the Umpqua
river from Gardiner to the sea.
A survey by Major Langfitt showed
that to provide 15-foot channel
throughout this stretch of eight miles
and across the bar would require the
expenditure of at least 1921, Al, and
probably to insure a permanent chan
mel at the entrance of the river an adj
ditional ietty would have to be con-
structed at cost of $27,1l1. Major
Langfltt said the expenditure of so large
sum was hardly justified at the pres
ent time. His opinion was sustained
by the division engineer, by the special
engineer, board of review and by Cen
ersl Gillespie.
