JAPAN's WONDERFUL RECORD.

Japanese irony was much like uni
versal irony when the mikado's min
lister at Paris laughed at the worlds
new appreciation of Japan. 1--WE have
for many generations sent to Europe
exquisite lacquer work, delicately
carved figures, beautiful embroidery.
and many other commodities which
showed how artistic we are: but the
Europeans described us as 'uncivil-
iZed.' We have recently killed some
10000 Russians. and every European
nation is wondering at the high con-
dition of civilization which we have
attained" Yet the world cares for
the finer side of life enough to be
wondering regretfully now whether
Japan will not lose it in her material
expansion. Nor is mere killing the
only thing we admire in the history
of this war. Mere courage is some
thing, patriotism is something; the
subordination of men to laws outside
| themselves is recognized as power and
elevation. The chairman of our COM
mittee on military affairs, in the
house of representatives, is quoted as
] saying lndt IL VIII never ne possible
| for us to compete with the Japanese
| in military efficiency on account of
expense and the unwllingness of our
/ soldiers to obey. The cost side is pure
nonsense. If, in the war with Spain,
we lost 355 men through the enemy
and $3.50 from disease, it would OBJ
viously save money. if it is possible.
to keep a smaller army in state of
Japanese effectiveness. The death
rate in Manchuria from disease is be-
low the ordinary death rate in times
of peace. That, as practical science
at it's highest point. is part of civiliza-
tion. and rightly admired by the
world. We did admire Japan's art
before, whether or not we recognized
its connection with other elements of
civilization. 1t is at bottom no cause
for satire that We are now so frank
in admiration of her science and NOR
ale.-Collier's.

The Baker City Democrat at last
admits the truth of the assertions of
the East Oregoniar that the wild
cat" mining companies are detri-
meut to the state, i'm the following
wall concerning these migratory
grafters: The depression in quartz
mining i'm the Eastern Oregon gold
fields that has been painfully APP
parent for the past year, is the natur-
al result of wildcat promoters and
others of the Ballet stripe. Since
the latter was put in Jail by the gov
eminent it was thought such methods
as his We're effectually stamped out,
but it seems that there is a germ left
that unless thoroughly fumigated may
grow. The experience of the people
in the past should open their eyes to
the future and if they ever hope to
see the mining industry of Baker coun-
! ty advance as merit and Legitimate
promotion would warrant, they must
block the way of the mining para
site and fraudulent user of the United
| States mails.

\ RUsE OF THE SPIES.

American spies in the revolution
airy war, routed whole British army
on one occasion, by clever ruse.
Capturing half-witted British boy,
they stripped him naked and forced
him to run wildly into the officers
quarters of the British army, shout
ing. THE Americans are coming;
the Americans are coming!" and
when asked where they were and how
many there were of them, he wonder
ingly pointed to the leaves of the
trees overhead.
Taking hint at this suggestion of
an enormous army, the British pull
ed up their camp and fled leaving a
large amount of valuable plunder be-
hind. which was Immediately cap
tured by the spies who had watched
the procedure from nearby hiding
place.
The Portland Oregonian is acting
as the silly boy for few scheming
Oregon politicians, who are attempt
ing to kill the referendum in this
state.
The Oregonian has heard a cry
against the referendum coming from
Yamhill county, and is now wildly
pointing to the leaves of the trees, in
the vain endeavor to make the voters
believe that there is a wonderful anti
referendum sentiment throughout the
entire state.
II the people become scared, as did
the British officers, at this ruse OF
the spies, and run away, the referen-
dunn will be killed and then these
waiting spies will come in and take
charge of the state once more, ant
the people will have no recourse b!
which to hold the spies and theil
horde of sap-suckers in check.
The great outcry against the refer
endum, coming from the oregonian
is not true index to public senti
ment. It is a naked boys voice, as h.
shiveringly points to the imaginar!
. leaves in the political trees, and trie
to scare the people of oregon int
forsaking their own priceless politica
privilege, that thei- rights may b
seized by the political tricksters VIII
are directing this imbecile boy.
Investigate this ruse before you ge
scared and run away leaving the ref
erendum exposed to the thrusts of tn
politicians.

WELCOME THE RAILROAD WAR

A railroad war is about the only
armed combat which helps the COM
mon people. AS long as there is
peace in all the railroad camps, there
is danger of combination against the
common victim, the people.
1t is hoped that the railroads en-
gage in a fierce and lasting fight
for the new territory on the Pacific
Coast. In this way, competing lines
will be driven to the fartherest from
tiers and competing rates will be es.
tablished early in the settlement Of
the new districts.
1t is hoped that not only the o. R

THREE JAPANESE VIRTUES.

Secrecy sobriety and sanitation
have won most of the battles for the
J5ps. Added to these three artificial
virtues, the priceless natural virtue
of patriotism, and you have the mys-
tic combination of the japanese anu
let of success.
Secrecy in keeping their movements
from the world and especially from
the enemy and the newspaper world;
sobriety, among officers and men at
all times, thus guarding against sur
prises, and always being in a normal
state and ready for the march, the
assault or the siege and sanitation
in camp and quarters, always the
same unstinted cleanliness; no mat
ter if the bivouac was made for but
day, sanitary rules regulated its
arrangement and fixed the conduct of
its occupants every hour.
By these rules of war, no energy
has been wasted. Every movement
has counted something; every nerve
fulfilled its highest function and every
mind has produced its best strategy,
its best cunning to hurl against the
disspated Russian officers and the
illy-kept Russian soldiery.

At a meeting held in the rooms Of
the Roswell Commercial Club Monday
evening, the stockholders in the new
canning company effected an organi-
cation by electing a set of nine 'lirec-
tors, who are to serve during the
first three months of the compauy's
existence. The directors are: r. F
Barnett, c. c. Tannehill, l.. X. Nc
Gaffey, w. S. Prayer, r. P. Bean, l..
D. Fort, H. F. Smith. ]. P. White and
George w. Medley. The election of
these directors followed a general
discussion of the in which the
contracts for raising tomatoes are to
be made with the farmers and of the
contracts themselves. A sample IN
tract, one which is being used by an
Ohio cannery, was read and it's style
was approved by the men present.
C. c. Tannehill presided and Sec
rotary Graham, of the Club, acted as
temporary secretary of the stock
holders meeting.
AS soon as the first set of directors
were elected, a majority of whom we're
present, they called a meeting to be
held Immediately, and at this meet
ing the following officers were cleo
ted: r. F. Barnett, president; H. F.
Smith, vice president; L. D. Fort, Sc
cretary; L. K. McGaffey, treasurer.
1t was decided to capitalize the
company at $40, 1000, half Of which is
to be paid up stock. The shares are
to be sold at $40 apiece, there being
a thousand shares in the capitaliza-
ton. II was decided to go to work at
once and secure the subscribers for
the stock that is not yet sold. 1t is
hoped that it will not take over two
days to accomplish this result The
following were named a committee
to solicit subscriptions: Joe Jaffa,
Mr.. Cottingham, President Barnett,
Secretary Fort, Vice President H. F.
Smith and Will Prayer. AS soon as
the rest of the stock is raised a meet
ing will be called and articles Of in
corporation adopted. Then contracts
will be made with the farmers. This
will all have to be done in a few days
in order to give the farmers time to
make their plans about planting to-
matoes. OF the $4,000 wanted, $1,000
was secured by Mr.. Fort a few days
ago in less than two hours.

j. Phelps White, manager of the L.
F. d. ranch, was present and made
the directors a liberal offer that was
taken down by the secretary and will
be reserved for future consideration.
Mr.. White offered the directors the
use of a tract of from three to five
acres on his ranch five miles east
of town, as a location for the can
merry. He promised to have plenty of
cheap wood on the ground for them,
TO give them a water right, to build
rental cottages for employees, if they
were necessary, and to AXE away the
swill.
The canning factory, it is plain to
see, is 10Y in the realm of certainty.
1t has been promoted and success
fully organized without the aid of
outside influence. The Roswell Com
and to it's members must go the Gre
dit for the great public good thus &C
complished. The Roswell Commercial
Club is a power that means much for
the community. When it puts it's
shoulder to the wheel of progress. the
wheel turns, and prosperity is bound
to follow. Mr.. Graham, secretary of
the Club, is one of the prime movers
advancement in Roswell. His efforts
should be appreciated.

ment for the people of this city, but
advertise the name of Roswell all
over the Southwest. Roswell has the
best baseball team in the Territory,
and the citizens believe they should
not lose the advantage that is theirs
by right of possession.
The Institute team is maintained
by the Institute. and all the business
men will find it necessary to do, will
be to provide a manager and the ex-
pense of visiting teams. 1t will TAX
considerably more than the gate re-
ceipts, however, to pay railroad fare
and board for visiting teams. and for
tina reason h business men will
raise a fund of 81, 900 to be used du-
ring the summer in this way. The
81, 900 will be a sort of guaranty fund
that will not be touched unless nee
essary. 1t will be used to advance ex-
penses and will be replenished as
often as possible by the gate re-
Interested in the above move are
