where is the protection? For it
is obvious the foreign-made arti-
Gle could enter our marts and
compete with the homemade
article upon a footing of equal
ity. Then would follow the veri-
fication of William McKinley's
admonition that every blow
struck by foreign labor in the
production of that article means
one less blow by American labor
in the production of the Amer
lean article, and every dollar
paid foreign workmen means less
wages paid American workmen.
There is no escape from these
logical conclusions.
Then why so cents? In other
words, how does Governor Cum
minis know that is the true meas
ure by which to guage the sched-
ule of tariff rates in this country?
The truth is he does not know,
and the learned revision editors
do not know what they are writ
ing or talking about. They phil
osophize about a theory; they ig-
more practical facts and seem to
despise human experience.

GOOD OR BADo

AS time drags on men con-
tinue to appear in the open and
announce their candidacy for of
flee. Some who aspire to the
state legislature are voluntarily
placing themselves on record as
willing 10 support the peoples
choice of a United States senator
should they become member OF
the legislative body of Oregon.
Others who are out for office DO
not hesitate to declare against
such pledge and some very good
reasons are advanced by these
men. 1t is easy to see that the
legislators might be called upon
to ratify the peoples choice of a
man to serve Oregon in the Unit
ed States senate and be pain
fully aware that such man was
the choice of the people not on
account of his good character
and qualifications, but on account
OF popularity and shrewdness.
Another reason why some men
hesitate to pledge themselves to
ratify the choice of the people
for United States senator is that
the constitution of our great
country makes plain the manner
in which said senator shall be
elected and our legislators in
taking oath of Office swear to
support the constitution. Until
there is an amendment of the
con titution whereby the people
of all the states of the union
shall elect their senators direct,
it naturally follows that either
state law or the constitution
must be disregarded.
All of these matters are very
perplexing; there it much specu-
lation as to whether or not our
political affairs will be in better
shape or better conducted this
year than they were under the
old regime. The safety of the
republic lies in the people, but the
people often make mistakes as is
evidenced by the fact that some
times a certain thing carries on
popular vote to be turned down
later when the same people have
become wiser. 1t seems that the
only safe thing to do is to give
our new election laws a square
deal" during the coming primary
and general elections so that we
may satisfy ourselves whether or
not they are an Improvement
over the laws in force during the
past.

FOUR WERE KILLED.
Could Not Stop Engine and Col
1iSiOn Results.

Bridal Veil, Or, Feb. o.-Pas-
senger train No. S crashed into
the rear end of passenger No. 3
this morning at 8 o'clock, and in
the collision four passengers were
killed and several seriously in
jured. So far as known here
they are:
Edward E. Sinnot, of Portland,
Andy Edwards, of Portland,
checkman of the Baggage &
Omnibus Co., who boarded the
train here to secure orders for
baggage to be delivered in Port
land; man who gave his name
as "Henry,' but whose identity
has not been discovered and one
man whose name is yet unknown.
The only other occupants o:
the Walla Walla sleeper, which
was on the rear end of the Spo-
kane flyer, were Mrs. w. Riley.
of Walla Walla. and James A.
Russell, of East Oakland, Cal.
Mrs. Riley was very seriously in.
jured, and had her arm ampu-
tated at the wrist before being
taken to Portland. 1t is not
known here how badly Mr.. Rus
sell was injured.
Engineer Swayne, Of Portland,
in charge of train No. 5, was
badly scalded in an effort to save
his train from crashing into the
passenger when he saw the head
engine signal. The fireman on
train No. 5 is also scalded from
the disa bled injector pipe which
was responsible tor the wreck.
The porter of the Walla Waila
Pullman was standing on the
rear platform of his car when he
saw the approaching train and
jumped. He is the only one on
the car who escaped without in
jury. Two hobos were stealing
d ride on the pilot of train No. S.
They too escaped by rolling off
the engine.
The Pullman car was smashed
to smithereens, and the entire
train was given such impetus
that the engine of the train
broke from the ears and travelled
fully FORTY feet down the track
before it stopped. The trucks of
the Pullman car were jammed |
forward under the car ahead. |
The engine of No. S remained
on the track, badly smashed.
The accident occurred right al
Bridal Veil, on a straight track |
that extends fer a distance of
600 OF 500. feet. The engineer
on No. S could see the danger in
to which he was running for full
ly quarter of a mile, but could
not stop his disa abled en-
CINE.
Four or hve miles back the in
jector had broken, and Swayne
and the fireman had been driven
from the cab by the escaping
steam. They were still at work
Oh the machinery when they
noticed the signals sent back by
the passenger tain ahead. Then
Swayne re-entered the cab and
.ried to find the throttle of his
engine, but was unable to do so,
md his train ran down the grade,
into the train ahead
while travelling at possibly a "a
nile-an-hour speed.

LARGE TREASURY RECEIPTS
FOR JANUARY MONTH

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS at the state
treasury for the month of January will
exceed expenditures by at least $780,
600, according to the report of State
Treasurer Mortensen, just issued. A
balance of the amount mentioned al
ready is shown in the general fund
alone, while other funds will show cor
responding increases in proportion to
their size and importance. The month
is one Of the heavy business ones Of
the year for the department, and re-
ciepts are very heavy. The balance Of
cash on hand in the permanent educa-
tional funds is very small indicating
that the funds are being kept well in
vested by Treasurer Mortensen. Many
bonds and warrants have been pur-
chased as investments since the first
of the year. The department also has
retired large amount of outstanding
general fund warrants, the total ap-
proximating $4,000 A block of $751;
900 OF the Idaho state bonds recently
purchased for investment of the per
manent school funds was received and
paid for by the treasurer.

The Communicable Girl.

A companionabe girl is one who is
good company. But what makes ner
so?
After goodness of heart and true
uprightness of character, which al
ways come first, she must be an
agreeable people to be really god and
agreeabl epeople to be really good and
conscientious at heart while having
unpleasant ways, but it is a thousand
pities not to be pleasant besides.
why can't all good people be nicer
questioned a veXed young person after
coming in contact with one who was
really good but not gracious.
To be agreeable means to be ready
to agree, to be of the same mind Yet,
If all people thought exactly the same
thing 1t would be excessively stupid
To agree has the better meaning of
to harmonize and you know that two
colors, quite different from each other,
may go very well together. They
harmonic.
The companionable girl is social. If
she is glum and grumpy, she Is poor
companion. She likes to tell her own
experience, but she does not make it
point to keep at it continually and
never let her neighbor have a chance
to tell hers. A good talker should be
a good listener, and then she will
command listeners the better herself.
The companioable girl is sympa-
thetic and has tact. If her friend is
in trouble or perplexity she does not
rattle away in lively fashion about
everything under the sun for which
the other does not care, but adapts
herself to her companions mood.

sonal experience with Grape-Nuts and
write a sensible, truthful letter to be
sent in with the list of words, as the
contest does not close until April goth,
1906. So start in as soon as you like
to building words, and start in using
Grape-Nuts. Cut this statement out

We make the prediction that some
who win a prize of gold or sreenbacks
will also win back health and strenpSl
worth more to them than wagon full
of money prizes.

WESTERN CANADA'S
MARVELLOUS CROP RETURNS

The increase in the crop returns OF
the Canadian West, in the past seven
years has approached the marvellous,
and there is no reason to believe that
corresponding increase will not re-
suit for many years to come. The in
crease has been particularly noticeable
In what vas formerly known as the
Northwest Territories, but which, on
September 1st, 1905, became the prov
inces Of Alberta and Saskatchew
From the official returns we find the
following results in the acreage sown
TO wheat. oats and barley, in the
years mentioned, and a more favor
able showing cannot be pointed to
in any other country during a like

Around the Preside or about the
well-lighted family reading table dur
ing the winter evenings the children
and grown-ups can play with their
wits and see how many words can be
made.
20 people making the greatest num-
Der of words will each receive little
box containing $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
tanning a $500 gold piece.
800 people will each win a box con-
tanning $1.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
Of words over all contestants will re-
ceive box containing $4,000 in gold.
1t is really a most fascinating bit Of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no
name Of person. Both the singular
and plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with E to
come under f, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A, e.
and other columns, to fill in later as
new words come to you, for they will
spring into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list of words a plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape
Nuts, but the contestant is not re-
quired to purchase a pkg. These let
ters are not to contain p~etry or fancy
fourishes, but simple, truthful state
ments of fact. For illustration: A
person may have experienced some
incipient or chronic ails traceable to
unwise selection of food that failed to
give the body and brain the energy,
health and power desired. Seeking
better conditions, a change in food is
made and Grape-Nuts and cream used
in place of the former diet. Suppose
one quits the meat, fried potat US,
starchy, sticky messes of half-cooked
oats or wheat and cuts out the coffee.
Try, say, for breakfast a bit of fruit, a
dish of Grape-Nuts and cream, two
soft-boiled eggs, a slice of hard toast
and a cup of Postum Food Coffee.
Some amateur says: "A man would
faint away on that" but, my dear
| friend, We will put dollars to your pen

NEBR ASKA STATE NEWS
GOVERNOR MICKEY TALKS
OF THE RAILROAD PASSES

LINCODN.-Aroused by the utter
ances of Governor Deneen, Governor
Mickey declared against the free rail
road pass. He said:
81 am opposed to any of my ap-
pointees accepting passes, and | be.
lieve my views are we'll known on
this matter. | have it not, and neither
will |, ask any one of them to return
any pass he may have. however.
THE deputy oil inspectors do not
ride on passes. 1t has been customary
for request to be made of the rail
roads for passes for these state en-
ployes, who have to do lot of trav-
cling but this year did not make the
request, and neither did the roads ex-
tend the passes. told the inspectors
that | would not ask for passes for
them, and for them to buy mileage
books and charge them to the state.
This they did, and they are now riding
on mileage books.
/ II do not know how many of my
appointees are riding on passes, and
l have not bothered myself about the
matter. When the republican state
convention went on record against the
pass evil | took that as the sentiment
of the republican party, and | acted
accordingly. I did not think it my
duty to tell anyone else whether he
could ride on pass or not, and nei-
their have I the authority to say that
anyone shall not ride on a pass.
CAS- far as I am concerned, my ap-
pointees know my feelings in this mat
ter, but they are at perfect liberty to
act according to their own judgment.
I shall not interfere with them, but If
republican offlceholders are consistent,
not one of them will accept pass
from a railroad company"

censes and fees for the year amount
ed to $5,376, difference of $3,O47 in
favor of the state. The expenses do
not include what was spent at the fish

FROM PLANT TO CIGAR.

Frank p. Lewis has recently returned
from a trip through the best tobacco sec
tions, looking over the growing fields. He
noted the best crops and engaged them,
and will 60 later to watch the curing and
packing of same. He also, while there, eX-
amined some of his large holdings of old to-
bacco and found this to be growing richer
in quality every day. The Lewis Single
Binder factory probably controls moro
fancy graded tobacco than any other cigar
factory in the United States. Smokers of
Single Binders have evidently learned this
fact which accounts for the ever increas-
ing demand. In spite of the fact that the
factory sends out no travelling salesman to
boom its good quality to the trade, the
Single Binder Sales reached seven million
last year and will exceed eight million in
1905. The Single Binder sells itself. For
twenty-three months this factory has been
behind in its orders.-Herald-1 Transcript

InfaIlible Cure for Toothache.

A London physician, at meeting
of a medical society, stated that ex-
traction of teeth was unnecessary. He
was enabled to cure the most desper-
ate cases of toothache, he said, unless
the case was connected with rheuma-
tism, by the application of the follow
ing remedy to the diseased tooth:
Alum, reduced to an impalable pow
der, two drachms; nitrous spirits Of
ether, seven drachms; mix and apply
to tooth.

LEXINGTON-One of the most ex-
traordinary revival meetings ever held
in this section is now in progress.
Among those who made public pro-
LESSONS of religion was young man
who confessed to long list of crimes
against the state. He told of continu-
GUS burglaries from grain houses in
Holdrege, Neb,, breaking into houses
here, stealing coal from the Burling'
ton and other places for whole WIN
tiers through numerous petty stealings,
which he said were so many that he
could not remember them all

BURGLAR Was loo Eat.

Guests in well-known hotel in
Paris heard pitiful cries for help COM
ing from the cellar at o'clock in the
morning, and the walters and manager
rushed downstairs. The door was
locked, but they battered it down, and
discovered a very fat burglar held
fast in the ventilator, through which
he had tried to escape. The brick
work had to be knocked down before
he could be eXtricated.

1t will be seen that the number of
acres sown to wheat, oats and barley
in 1898 was 429,749, and that this had
increased in 1904 to 1,5S7,337. The
total crop in the cereals mentioned
was 9,033,29 bushels in 1898, and in
1904 1t had grown to the magnificent
total of 35413,522. In the year just
closed the forward movement" in
the agriculture of the west has been
the wonder and envy of the world.
New sections of the country have
been placed under tribute to the plow
and harrow, and the grain area has
been largely increased. This Is par
ticularly the case where 1t has been
demonstrated that alberta Red" win
ter wheat may be successfully grown,
and along the lines of the new rail-
ways towards the centre Of the coun.
try, where mixed farming prevails.
The future of the Canadian West
is assured, and for years to come 1t
is bound to be the land Of promise to
the agriculturist Of every nation and
of every cline, and the land of oppor-
tunity to every settler within its
bounds.

OBLIGATION Rests on All.

It is obligatory upon decent people
to be obliging, an obligation to their
decency bound up in the necessities of
the case. Noblesse oblige is one of
the best motives and sentiments, i'm
plying that mans very status as a
man compels him to be obliging.
