ahead faster. There are many
reasons why we are laggards in
the march of progress. In spite
of unfavorable conditions our
state is going forward, but not
SO rapidly as some of her west
ern sisters.
One reason why we are rum
ming a slow race is on account of
the policy of Oregon first
families" they seem to think
that they inherited Oregon and
that so long as a scion of a first
family" IS in existence hey are
entitle to rule the roost. Many
Of these scions have their abid-
ing places in Portland and any,
thing not directly in the interest
of Oregon's metropolis, there
fore not in the interest of these
metropolitan first families"
must not only braye disapproval
but be conlemned, throttled,
and left lifeless. This is one
reason for the easy pace we are
travelling.
When the capitalists Of Port
land awaken to the fact that
they would prosper more were
they to adopt a different policy
toward interests in other parts of
the state, and test the truths of
their discoveries by putting into
practice the policies said truths
demand, then, and then only,
will we go ahead with a bound.
AS it is now, no city other than
Portland shall have a chance.
AS an example of the methods
adopted by some wholesalers in
Portland we will state that a
few days ago one of our leading
merchants recited an experience
of his, as follows: Until recent
ly our merchant had been buying
abroad certain articles in whole
sale lots. One or two sPortland
wholesalers got wind Of the mat
ter and raised such a howl that
the local business man was
denied the privilege of a rate
such as he had heretofore been
grained by manufacturers. The
wholesale meddlers Of Portland
even went so far as to send a
spy to Corvallis to look up affairs.
The methods practiced in Port
land, lin some instances in the
past, have been damnable, but
this piece Of spying is unusually
dirty.
The disposition of every bust
ness man in Corvallis is to assist
all worthy enterprises started
within the county Of Benton, for
they realize that a continuance
of such a policy will eventually
prove beneficial to them. Now,
Portland stands in the same re-
lation to the State of Oregon
that Corvallis does to Benton
county, and she should take a
pattern from us and every other
county seat in the state. Her
duty is plain.

A SERIOUS MATER.

our prominent men. To judge
from accounts that reach us from
various sources, the matter is
rapidly assuming Importance
warranting serious consideration.
One cannot escape the ques-
ton: What has China to gain by
boycotting American exports?
Hitherto she has purchased in
the United States only such COM
modities as she was in need of
and could get Of US on better
terms, quality considered, than
she could secure elsewhere. If
this be true, and it is certainly
reasonable, China must stand to
lose.
Is this matter Of retaliation
wherein China hopes toforce I'M
told thousands of her coolies up
on US? Does she hope that by
boycotting our goods she may
compel us to open our gates to
millions OF her people? Does she
expect us to grant them citizen
ship after their arrival on our
shores? Is it expected that the
United States can be forced into
welcoming hordes of the lowest
of humanity, in view of the fact
that they are by nature unified
for citizenship?
We are willing to grant more
license to students, travellers,
merchants and others of China's
better class than we have hereto
fore, but even to-Uhese we will not
grant citizenship. Of her coolie
class we want none. They
are not necessary to our happi-
ness, nor in the long run are
they of any value in a business
way. 1t is better for our peace
Of mind that they remain at
home.
We hear quite often from a
certain class of contractors that
the Chinese are a necessity to us
for the reason that they will per-
form labor that our workmen
will not. There is not an iota
of truth, in such statement.
The coolies will do it cheaper,
mayhap. There is nothing that
we have to do that our own la
boring class will not perform if
paid for it as they should be, and
that undertaking which does not
promise to pay decent wages to
the laborers required in its ac-
eomplishment may as well be
passed by, at least until such
time as there is a greater de-
mand for it.
AS the case now stands, It
seems the boycott must continue
or something like an ''open
door, be established for untold
numbers of Chinese coolies. The
later alternative we absolutely
refuse to consider. If they boy
cott our goods our laborers in
turn escape competition with
cheap Chinese labor. The goods
not sold in the land Of the dra-
gon may remain at home and
there will be a good market pro
vided by our laboring class, as
they will receive better wages.
A good foreign market is in
many ways a blessing, as it ere
ates a demand for our surplus,
but if the creation Of such sur
plus be made the pretext for the
Importation Of an undesirable
class Of labor, we fail to see
wherein the wage earners Of the
United States are to be benefit.
ted. Any country to be prosper.
Gus must foster conditions favor
able to her middle class, those
who by their industry designate
said country's place among ma
tions. Of the Chinaman one
thing can be truthfully said he
is ever industrious. This is the
one thing; this is all. We can
not love him either for the faults
he has or has not.

The Thinner House at Silver City is

that the hotel cost 100000 to build

He was a German, a hotel keeper by

love Of it. While the building was
being erected money would often be

payrolls. Then Thinner would get to

would be paid of. Friends estimated
that Louis handled a blue chip for
every brick Ia the building. When 1t
