Extends a Cordial Invitation.

The following is from the Salem
Statesman, I. T. Geer, editor:
A correspondent OF the Hood River
Glacier signing himself Axel n. Rahm,
is highly indignant at the editor of the
Statesman for having said, as he alleges,
that Hood River is especially prosper
Gus "for the simple fact that there are
no foreigners there" And he proceeds
to lambaste the writer hereof for having
said the Ignorant foreigners" are the
cause of whatever lack of progressive
ness is to be noticed anywhere in Ore
gon, etc.
Now Mr. Rahm, if that is his name,
is hereby informed that the Statesman
has several local writer's, and what they
may have said in the local columns the
editor does not know, but he is certain
no such expression or phrase as Gig
norant foreigner" in that connection
has at any time appeared in the editor
al columns of this paper
The editor of the Statesman knows
from an experience of 80 years observa-
ton in the Willamette valley that the
foreigners have cleared and put into a
high state of cultivation ten times as
much land as has been reclaimed by our
native born citizens. He has the great.
est regard for them, has always expressed
it, and wishes he had a great many
more OF this class of foreigners, and
will present Mr.. Rahm, who becomes the
victim to sort of amalgamation OF sar-
casm and faCetia, one years subscrip-
tion to any paper he may choose, if he
will find any reference in the editorial
columns of the Statesman to the "igno-
norant foreign element" that has made
Hood River prosperous by its absence.
And, besides, as guarantee of good
faith, if Mr.. Rahm will come to Salem
we will invite him to our home and
table, that he may see we are not at all
"stuck up" that we live principally on
bacon, beans, graham bread, and pota-
toes, that we split our own wood and
build our own fires, that we are poorer
than a great many foreigners and dc
not try to appear otherwise, that we act,
ually live Charles Wagner's Simple
Life. partly because We can't help
ourseli, and that, perhaps, we are not
really such bad fellow after all. To
be candid, our ancestors were real for
eigners and could neither read nor write,

FALLING OFF IN IMPORTS.
Three to Four Million Pounds Less Tea
Than Preceding Year.

New York. Aug. 27.-Tea importers
here say importations into America
this year probably will be three or four
million pounds less than the preced-
ing IL months. The experts say this
falling OFF is only indirectly due TO the
war between Japan and Russia as it
has had no appreciable effect on the
trade beyond an increased rate of ma
rine insurance.
The cause is found in the fact that
during two or three months before the
war began, there was wave of spec
ulative buying on the part of the job
bers and retailers alike all over the
country. This resulted in an advance
of 10 to 10 per cent but the trade hav-
ing filled up i'm anticipation of future
wants the demand disappeared for a
time, causing great dullness, which
has only just begun to disappear.

EDITOR Curtis on Mean Men.

Seaside Sentinel: There are a num-
ber of the meanest men in America
located over in the grove. Last Sat
urday night they stole lot Of fire
brick. pair of new shoes and some
bed clothing belonging to Mrs Sarah
Grimes. Mrs. Grimes recently lost
everything she had by a fire, and a
man who would steal anything from
her ought to be taken out and hung
to a tree, The penitentiary Is too good
for him. An application will be made
to the county court for the appoint-
ment of special officer and these pet
ty larceny thieves will be rounded VI
and made to pay dear for their pilfer-
ing. When a man becomes so infin-
itesimal, so mean, SO lost to all sense
of shame and decency as to rob poor
woman, there is no punishment too
severe for him. He would steal the
molasses off a blind mans pancake.
If his milk of human kindness were
ehurned. the product would be linn
burger cheese. He is maggoty sore
in carcass of dead mule, lower than
the venomous viper that creeps the
earth.
