The belief that American labor will not go to Panama is not well
grounded. Americans will go American negroes to perform the unskil
ed labor, American whites to perform the skilled labor. All that will be
necessary to attract them OF at least not to deter them 49, will be to de-
wise proper conditions.
They must receive good wages. assurances of good, nutritious food and
habnabe lodgings. with fair surroundings when not at work and innocent
and pleasurabe amusements to divert them.
am further opposed to importing Chinese labor to soil controlled by
the United States. The United States al do almost anything that any
other country car do-physicaly, mentally, morally and politically.
But there are I'M things that it cannot do and ought not atemptt to d
o. One is to change the essehttAfeatures of u republican form of &
overnment and the principles on which it is based or anything that might
contribute % its undermining.
An isthmian canal is a necessity. The Panama route has been chosen.
We all want it, But the canal ought not to be built by US, and would
rather that we abandoned the undertaking, than that it should involve so
radical a departure from the principles of safety to our people, nj civil
izatcn and our country as % admit Chinese labor to free and unlimited
competition with American labor. In that we will never willingly &C.
quiesce.

Geese Destroyed Wheat.

1t seems unreasonable with town
full of hunters that wild geese would
be permitted to destroy fifty acres of
wheat within less than two miles of
town, but such is the case. Geese by
the thousands landed in the wheat
field of G. c. Millett and destroyed
fully fifty acres of the growing grain
He is now at work replowing and will
seed the destroyed tract to oats. Mr.
Millett was not aware of the destruc
tive presence of so many geese or he
would have made known that his field
was no private game preserve and
would have permitted the local sports
to kill few hundred geese.-Junc.

members Of the league feel that this
matter is one OF vital importance to
the commercial interests of this section
of the state. One of the largest and
richest sections of the state is tribu.
tary to the Willamette between Salem
and Corvallis. The City of Dallas,
Airlie and considerable portion of
Polk county is directly tributary to
the Willamette by means of the motor
line to independence. The Corvallis
& Eastern brings into close touch with
Corvallis all the territory westward
to the ocean. This large and populous
territory and the Inland Empire of
Linn county depend entirely upon Will
lamette river transportation for com
petition in freight rates. ..
The engineering features involved
and the costs of the improvements nee.
essary to afford the relief desired are
matters which are more within your
knowledge than ours. While we do
not desire in any way to belittle the
Importance of the Yamhill river, yet
we feel that the extent of territory
effected and the population and busi-
ness interests to be benefited will sug.
gest to you the propriety of expending
1 relatively large portion of this APP
on the Willamette between
corvallis and Salem.

of the Oregon Development League is
entitled to name delegation to in
clude any desired number-the sec
tion conventions should be borne in
mind in appointing delegates so that
men from different industries are
named.
Every editor in the state is a dele
gate at large because it is through the
newspapers that Oregon will get her
publicity. Where there is no organi-
zation holding membership in the
the appointment of representatives
devOlves upon the mayors of towns
and the county commissioners. Every
possible permanent benefit should be
secured as result of the enormous
western travel that is now certainty.
Il. c. Roberts of the Albany Com
ercial club writes:
The improvement of the river is of
vital Importance to us all. Salem is
dependent upon the surrounding coun-
try for her support, the country is at
the mercy of the transportation com.
panies, the river is the only means
of holding them within the bounds
of reason. We have selected Hon. G..
A. Westgate to present the subject,

cilities, and better and more thor.

Benton County League
Benton county unites with Linn in
demanding the improvement of the
Upper Willamette river, in the follow
ing letter to Major Langftt of the
United States Board of Engineers;
The Benton County Citizens league,
a business men s organization having
for its object the improvement and up
building of this section Of Oregon, re-
Gently had under consideration the
subject of Willamette river transporta
tion. 1t is reported to the league that
the last congress appropriated $780,
600 for the improvement of the Will
lamette and Yamhill rivers and that
the expenditure of this fund is in your
hands. At the instance of the league
we write you to call your attention to
the benefits which would accrue to a
very large section of country from
the improvement of the Willamette
river between Corvallis and Salem,
and to urge the expenditure Of con
siderable portion of this appropriation
on the willamette river between these
points.
Corvallis is for all practical pur'
poses the head of navigation on the
Willamette. The river is navigable
above Salem, however, during the win
ter months only; or more properly
speaking during the period of the
year when the water in the William
ette is high. 1t is our understanding
that the river is navgable to Salem
throughout the year. The oregon
City Transportation Company is now
operating a line of boats to this city
and has succeeded in building up a
large freight business, but in a short
time when the low water stage begins
it will be impossible for boats to op'
crate above Salem. This is due, we
understand, 20 several bars between
this city and Salem.
The limited period during which
river traffic above Salem is possible IS
a serious handicap to both shippers and
transportation companies and the

GASOLINE TANK LEAKED
Two Factory Hands Hurt and Plant
IL Wrecked by Explosion.

Two men, were injured and the plant
of the Bolton Lath & Shingle company,
l66 Western avenue, was wrecked by
a terrific explosi on of gasolene just as
the men were quitting work last even
ing.
A. G.. Hintz, lila Lyndale avenue N,
and Albert Jens, 1882 Feronia avenue,
ST. Paul, are the injured men. They
were working in the basement when the
explosion occurred. They were thrown
against the heavy machinery and were
burned by the blazing liquid. Both
were taken to their homes in carriages.
They will recover.
Mrs. F. M. Baldwin, 3O1 Aldrich av-
enue N, was passing the building at the
time, and altho the explosion showered
glass about her she was unframed.
The interior Of the building was com
pletely wrecked and much Of the val
liable machinery was ruined. The heavy
lathes and planning machines were over
turned and broken and the shafts were
torn from the ceiling. The large gaso-
lene power engine was also wrecked
The adjoining building, occupied by
the George F. Thompson & Son carriage
company, was slightly damaged. Thy
total loss on the two buildings will be
about $4,000.
A leak in the supply tank of the en-
CINE is supposed to have been the cause
of the accident.

EXTREMES OF STATURE
A Living Contrast Without Parallel on
Earth

If one cares to see remarkable con-
trast between the tallest man and the
smallest men and women ever created
they will find such remarkable exhibit
in the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show
on Earth when it comes here on July 8.
Visitors will be offered sight of the
extremes of human stature. George
Anger, the giant, is the personifcation of
exaggerated humanity, standing nearly
eight feet tall, and beside him In strange
contrast to his steeple-lke proportion is
the Horvath troupe of midgets, some of
whom are but twenty inches high. One
thus can see eight feet of perfect human
ity towering above twenty inches of
microscopic man and womankind for the
troupe Of lilliputians comprise males and
females and more remarkable still, ex-
cept one, all are one family of brothers
and sisters.
To see the giant among this company
of human mites Is to see one of the
strangest sights imaginable and realize
the tales Of CULVER and the Lilliputians
Sometimes the giant will slip his finger
ring off and pass it over the hands of
the midgets, where it serves as q bracelet
At another time he will place one of the
midgets in his coattail pocket, and 1t is
a curious sight to see the head of the
little man sticking out between the tails
of the. big fellows coat like a young
kangaroo in its mothers pouch.

campus of the state university, amid

The quality of the company is already

formances last April at the Auditorium.
The company is entirely English and each
member has been trained for years in
Shaksperean roles and it is admitted
in England that Mr.. Greet stands alone
as a teacher of the Interpretation of
Shakspere. 1t is said that any member
of his company can play any part in any
play in the repertory, so thoroughly
versed are they

over two thousand open air plays. not
