TOWNS ARE INDEPENDENT.

Self-government. in large bunches'
was contained in the constitutional
amendment. passed by the people of
Oregon. by an initiative vote. giving
cities and towns the right to amend
charters independent of the legisla-
ture.
This will take an aggravating matter
out of the legislature and will give the
whole people the absolute right to say
what form of charter they shall en-
joy.
Heretofore charter changes and To-
cal municipal fights have taken up too
much of the time of the legislature.
These fights have too often been con-
Quoted by people interested in some
special law and the taxpayers of the
state have paid the bill
Now each city must pay its own bill
and fight out its own fight.
And one important provision of the
amendment as adopted by the people
is that cities must make ordinances
Subject to the criminal laws of the
state"
This means that charters must not
| override the local option law of the
state: that ordinances permitting gam

This is one undeniable evidence oi
the spread of the temperance senti'
ment. This provision was placed II
the amendment by the gentle touch o
the prohibitionists and the people
adopted it is good doctrine. 1t is sim
ply extending the power of local op

It gives the people of every town
city and hamlet the privilege to sa.

LOST TRUNKS IN FRISCO.

over 5000 trunks of personal effects
are in the hands OF the San Francisco
police awaiting Identification by own
ers. The trunks were found in vari-
Gus places by the police, in squares,
parks streets and public places, where
they had been deserted by their own
ers. All the trunks have heen num-
bered. 1t is possible for any one
searching for his trunk to learn
whether 1t is in the hands of the po-
lice at headquarters and giving de-
scriptiOn of its contents.
The value of the 5000 trunks now
in the hands of the police is large. IT
is more than likely that a great num-
ber of them will never be claimed.
After reasonable time and all due
legal requirements have been observ-
ed, 1t is proposed to sell them, with
their contents, at auction, and apply
the proceeds to the relief fund.

NATURAL PEST KILLERS.

Congress having appropriated $780,

THE UNITED STATES LEADS.

It helps the bigness Of this great
country to know that it contains H.
100000 buildings. One country sur
passes that in number, Russia, with
11,436,OOO buildings, but millions Of
these are mere huts, so there can be
no real comparison between the two
countries.
The buildings Of the United States
are estimated to be worth s14,250,-
900, 900. which sum means a head
ache and is too big to measure or
comprehend.
Russia's buildings are worth So
5OO,OOO,OOO. The United Kingdom has
100000 buildings worth over twelve
billions. France has 100000 build
ings, Germany 100000 and Holland
less than 100000.
All Of which suggests that It is well
that every city in the land is putting
forth efforts to improve its flre-flght,

FARMERS WILL SUCCEED.

4 few farmers are timid in the
matter of joining the Inland Empire
Wheatcrowers' association, for fear
that the association will not succeed
in its objects and will he a failure.
The way to make it succeed is for
all farmers to join it and push it
with their influence and cooperation.
There are enough farmers in every
community to dominate every COM
mercial and industrial movement of
the country if they would stand to-
gether.
OF course it will succeed. The
cause is just and the farmers are de-
termined There is nothing to do but
stick together. There is nothing to
do but become member and stay a
member as long as there is need for
cooperation among the farmers.
Last wear the Farmers Grain &
Supply company, an association OF
farmers. at Spokane. saved enough
in the sale of their wheat and the
purchase of their sacks and farming
machinery. to pay them a dividend OF
? cents per bushel on every bushel OF
grain handled by the association. This
is a tangible result near home. 1t Is
not a fairy tale from abroad. 1t is the
actual history of a nearby associa-
ton similar to the Inland Empire
wheatgrowers' association.
There is no reason why this asso
citation tust formed in Umatilla coun
ty should not organize and hold whea
sales days, bring the buyer and thu
farmer together and be a profitable
agency for the community.
II the farmers will push the organ
1zation. If they will come into AM
support it and be loyal to it, there
no reason why it will not bring then
in tangible returns. They have tn
world by the foretop, il they will sticI
together.
The buyers. the railroads. the ele
vators, the exporters-all the grea
commercial agencies of the countr
with which the farmer must deal, ar
thoroughly organized. Only he stand
singly and alone to fight out the com
mercial warfare disorganized. divided
helpless and weak.
If he will stick to the sale day ide;
now. and make that a success, othe
matters can be taken up In time. On
thing at a time. and that thing we
done, IS much better than to SCATTER
over too much ground and half d
too many things.
Fix the sale days and stick to then
The buyers will come to you.

Capital from Canada.
1t is to be regretted perhaps from
an American standpoint that a large
part of the capital employed in devel-
oping this new old state" has been
furnished by Canadian capitalists
rather than by New Englanders them

necessary to develop high speed, or
the greater bunker capacity essential
to wider steaming radius. They point
out that in the Dreadnaught it was at
tempted to preserve two of these
factors, gun power and speed, but that
to do so it was necessary to sacrifice
the armor protection, which they be-
lieve such a blttleShip should have.
No Limit to Cost.
No sacrifice in armament, speed, or
steaming radius will have to be made
in designing the new Constitution.
The only limitation placed upon the
Secretary of the Navy by the Naval
Affairs Committee is that her hull and
machinery shall not cost more than
SG,OO0.0 700. The provision for the bat
tleships Michigan and South Carolina,
now the largest ships building for the
navy, was 100000 each, and there
is no doubt i'm the minds Of the MEM
bers of the committee that If the
Secretary decides to 90 to 10000 tons
or beyond, the extra $1,000 900 now
provided will easily accomplish it.
1t is estimated that the armor and
armament for the ship will cost some
where in the neighborhood of $1,000
600 in addition to the hull and ma
chinery, and that other fittings will
bring the total for the new COnstitu-
ton up approximately to $l00O0,O0O.
The Dreadnaught is planned to
carry ten 12-inch rides. The Michi-
gan and South Carolina are to carry
eight 12-inch guns. The Dreadnaught
will be able to concentrate six guns
for bow or stern fire. with eight on
either broadside, while the American
ships can use four guns dead ahead or
dead astern, and all eight ahead or
astern on a quartering fire, with all
eight on either brOadside. SO that In
point of fire they are nearly as ef-
fcient as the Dreldnaught, which eX-
GELS materially only in the single
point of speed. To counterbalance
This the American ships have the de-
cided advantage in armOr protection.
The ADVANTAGE of Guns
The Constitution will have as high
speed as the Dreadnaught, and the
lOuble advantage over the British
chip Of greater gun power and more
complete armOr protection. She Will

ter able to Withstand them. She will

Provisions for Ship,

This provision for the new American
sea fighter is in line with the desire
Of the President and the earnest re-
commentator OF Admiral Dewey,
who recently appeared before the
Naval Committee Of the House and
gave a spirited talk in support of his
views as to the necessity of con-
structing larger and more powerful
battleships for the American Navy
At the time the naval estimates were
made up last fall, Secretary BonaPaTte
was opposed to any such increase, but
he has since come around to the side
of the President, and is now heartily
in favor of the committee proposition.
The naval experts in Washington
have long been convinced that the
16OOO-ton battle shDs Michigan and
South Carolina, authorized by the last
Congress, represent the limit Of pos 81
bility on displacement not decidedly
greater. To 90 beyond, in any ap-
preciable degree, the fighting efficiency
Of such ships, it will be necessary to
have not only more powerful arma-
ment, but higher speed and greater
steaming radius, to gain which there
must be heavier and more powerful
machinery and greater coal-carrying
capacity.
The displacement Of the Dread

that Of the Michigan or the South
Carolina. Naval construction ex-
