te the settlement of the claim
1t, is stated tina. the settlement Is entirely
satisfactory to the District officials. and
that the railroad company agreed to the
proposition of the District assessor. that the
amount be paid as a personal tax assess
ment against the roads and not as tax
against the gross earnings of the roads. The
railroad officials, 1t Is learned also. finally
acquiesced in the terms OF settlement which
were insisted upon by Mr.. Darneille, back
ed I'D By the District Commissioners. The
amicabie and satisfactory termination OF the
controversy oyer the question of payment of

on the proposition that the amount be paid
as a personal tax assessment and not as an
assessment agafast the gross earnings OF

OREGON'S ERA OF GOOD
FEELING.

Such information as comes to
The Oregonian concerning the
right of way for the dalles canal is
in every respect reassuring. The
prompt action of the state board
is to be heartily commended, and
indications point to the manifesto
ton of public spirited cooperation
on the part of owners from whom
the right of way is to be secured.
The readiness with which the
legislature passed this canal bill
and the subsequent developments
under it are all eloquent of a spirit
of enterprise and local pride which
the State of Oregon is enjoying for
the first time in many years, we
had almost said for the first time
in it's history. 1t is not too much to
claim for the Lewis and Clark
Centennial that it did great deal
in waking us up.
1t is fortunate that the state
board has to deal in this matter
with broad-gauge men like Seufert,
Taffe, Michel, Everdlng and Far
rell, who understand and sympa-
thize with the value to themselves
as we'll as to the state at large of
an open river; and it is especially
fortunate that the 0. 4. & n. is at

IN MEMORY OF M'KINLEY.

'Ihe Carnation League of
America an organization to per-
petuate the memory Of President
Mckinley, requests all his sd-
mirers "to wear the late presidents
flower, the oarnation, in the lapel
of the coat, in the hair, or at the
throat, in silent memory of de-
parted public servant" President
McKinley's birthday, January %,
is the date selected for this me-
mortal observance.
While the suggestion will be
followed by many admirers of
President Mckinley in all sections
of the Union, it is doubtful if the
league will succeed in its effort to
make of this graceful tribute a
perpetual custom. In the long
run nations reserve these enduring
honors for few of their greatest
historical figures-men like Wash
ington and Lincoln IN the United
States, Peter the Great in Russia,
Napoleon in France, Frederick the
Great and Bismarck IN Germany,
King Arthur and Cromwell in
England, ST. Patrick in Ireland,
Garibaldi in Italy, or Confucius
in China. President McKinley's
memory will be quietly honored
for many years by host of his
fellow countrymen. He was a
gre6t man, but it was not reserved
for him to tread the sublime
heights of glory. AS son, husband,
soldier and statesman he COM
manded respect and admiration,
but his public career was not dis
tinctly associated with any stupeD-
dous national crisis.
Nevertheless, the suggestion of
the "Carnation league" is deserv-
ing of widespread adoption among
