subject. An Aberdeen dispatch says:
Mayor France, who is an extensive
timber holder and who is also. inter-
ested in the mill business, IN referring
to the lumber outlook, said he was not
surprised that there had been a slump
in the lumber market.
prices have been so high that the
majority of people have run out of
money paying the high rates. ! do
not regard the situation as serious,
but we will have lower prices and
return to proper basis.
1T will be the same in other com.
modities as in lumber, The trusts
have crowded up everything, and what
will be the end of 1t all of course no
one can foresee, but / have faith in
the man at the head of the govern
ment itself, and ! do not believe we
are going to have panic at all events.
These changes occur at certain in
tervals and we must expect them, es-
pecially after everything has been
crowded to the highest notch"

GREELY IN COMMAND,
Department OF the Columbia In
Charge of New Officer.

Dressed in civilian clothes, refusing
to discuss the probability of war
with Japan, and in the best of health,
General A. W. Greedy, the new COM
mander of the department of the CO.
lumbia, arrived in Portland last
night and left this morning for Van
couver barracks, where he assumed
command today, says the Oregon
Daily Journal of Tuesday.
General Greedy was accompanied
by Mrs. Greely, Miss Gertrude Greely,
Major w. H. Sage, the new adjutant
Of the Fourth infantry, and Lieuten-
ant E. d. Warfield, aide to General
Greedy.
General Greely has changed but
little in appearance since his last
visit to Portland and still wears the
long flowing whiskers that, added to
his tall figure, make him a conspicu-
Gus figure in any gathering. He has
lost little of the energy and vitality
that characterized his actions in
building the telegraph line through
Alaska and later made him a promi-
nent figure in the scenes that fol-
lowed the earthquake and fire at San
Francisco.
When asked whether he cared to
discuss the japanese situation, Cen
eral Greedy smiled and said nothing
could be further from his thoughts.
He said he knew of no changes to
be made at Vancouver and intimated
that he knew of nothing else that
would lie of public interest.

VIM. Gleason of The Dalles, Is Now
Assistant Superintendent.
The Dalles Chronicle says of a
change of o. r. & n. officials at that
place:
Last night not only railroad circles,
but the community lost one of the
most popular men who has made his
home here for some time, William
Gleason, who has been chief dis
patcher since the o. R. & n. estab-
lished its office in The Dalles. Mr..
Gleason has received a deserved pro,
motion to the office of assistant SUI
perintendent of the Washington di-
vision. comprising 100 miles,
For time his headquarters will be
at Starbuck and later at Spokane. The
Dalles dislikes to lose him, but like
ministers (and yet unlike them) rail-
road men are here today and gone
tomorrow,
Mr.. Gleason is succeeded by F. F.
Spaulding, who is thoroughly COM
petent and trustworthy and no doubt
will fill the office most satisfactorily.
He has been connected with The
Dalles office the same length Of time
as Mr.. Gleason.

ROADS CLOSED TO AUTOS.
Automobiles Barred From Napa
County Roads.

The board of road supervisors of
Napa county California, have made
an order which closes the roads of
that county to automobiles, and there
iG considerable fierceness by the latter
over the condition which confronts
them. Their utter disregard for the
rights of teamsters brought about this
action of the board which may be a
little too sweeping; but 1t will work
out all right in the end, no doubt.
A California paper in commenting
on the boards action. says: The
ordinance is foolish one in its sweep
ing character. The automobile has
come to stay, and provision must be
made for 1t everywhere where II ia
safe to permit 1t. II should not be
allowed on narrow and dangerous
mountain roads, however, and auto
mobilists are foolish to ASK for that.
iS Va uu'oiioulles nave tnem-
selves to blame for such an unfair
ordinance as that OF Napa county.
only too many OF them are insolent,
naughty, arrogant, with absolutely not
the slightest regard for the rights and
the safety of others. Most OF them
need drastic lessons and should be
taught them. But even that fact does
not justify the sweeping Napa county
ordinance.
Little by little the automobilists will
display more common sense, less Of
a disposition to act as though they
reckoned their own sweet pleasure as
the only thing to be considered, and
then they will find the farmers" and
"hayseeds" will treat them more fair
ly and generously.
AS it is they certainly work over
time to create the feeling of hatred
which undoubtedly greets them on
every country road.

Beneath the waters of the Pacific
year old boy, who had he lived would
have been tn fortune of some dime
museum manager
The child was Thomas Baker, Jr.,
who for the past five years had been
with his parents in Nome. He was
born in Seattle and when he was a
year old he began to grow with such
rapidity as to alarm his parents and
furnish material for wOnderment
among the physicians of the northern
city
The child's appetite was voracious,
and despite all efforts of his parents
to keep him within reasonable bounds,
he would daily devour sufficient food
to sustain three men. When he STEP
ped aboard the steamship Umatilla
to come to Seattle he weighed 165
pounds and was a little more than
a walking lump Of fat For the first
day of the voyage he ate with usual
hearty appetite, but suddenly took
sick and died within twenty-four
hours. The doctor said that death
was caused by fatty degeneration Of
the heart. His body was buried at
sea.
In addition to his weight, the boy
was marked by having six fingers on
each hand and six toes on each foot

\ Canadian Navy.

1t is a little difficult to discern why
Canada should want a navy; and yet
if report from Victoria, B. c., is to
be credited, Canado is yearning for just
such a white elephant plaything The
Navy League'-Whatever that isis
said to have asked the British govern
ment for two cruisers and four de-
on the Pacific coast. The understand
ing would seem to be that Canada
would undertake the maintenance Of
these vessels, and would make them
a nucleus around which to construct
a navy of her own.
Canada may be willing to undertake
the enormous expense and RESPONSE
biity of building and taking care Of
a navy, but it is hard to believe that
such is the case.
The Dominion in most public mat
ters shown an admirable spirit of good
sense and conservatism. There is no
reason for a Canadian navy that can
be discerned by an American with i
telescope pointed to either the Atlant-
ic or the Pacific
Possibility of war between Canara
and the Uunited States is so remote
and unimaginable possibility that it
will hardly be treated seriously By
either nation.
AS regards foreign powers. Canada
is probable aware that the United
States would be prompt to rush
to her aid if her territorial integrity
were threatened; and anyhow, regard
less of the attitude of the state, she
is always assured of the protection at
forded her by the powerful navy of
her mother country.
If there is really any serious inten-
ton of building a Canadian navy, it
is probably due to a sudden pun of
national pride and a desire to f1aunr
expensive gunboats and cannon in the
face of the world as evidence of adult
strength on the part Of a newly risen
power.
If the jingoes are going off on any
such foolish tangent, it would be we'll
for the conservatives to take them
in hand and preach more impressively
than ever the desirability of develop
ing the country's vast resources. Gun
boats would add neither to the
strength nor fame of Canada, and er-
edy battleship built would check the
progress of the nation toward hel
greatest good.-C1eveland Plain Deal

Mr.. Beecher'S Revenge.

Justin Mccarthy tells a remines-
cent story of the late Henry Ward
Beecher.
Mr. Beecher entered Plymouth
church one Sunday morning and founc
several letters awaiting him. He op-
ened one and found that it contained
the single word Fool"
Quietly and with becoming serious
ness he announced to the congregation
the facts in these words:
II have known many instances of
man writing letter and forgetting
to sign his name, but this is the only
instance I have ever known a man
signing his name and forgetting to
write the letter.-Cleveland Plain

ROOsEVELTS BEGINNINGS
AS a Governor He Started His F1ght
Against predatory Wealth.

while governor of New York,
says the article, Roosevelt had outnu-
ed ris ideas regarding the regulation
of the CORPORATIONS and limitation of
wealth with a clearness he has never
exceeded in any presidential speech or
mssage. The man who by sWlndllng
or wrongdoing, acquires great wealth
for himself at the expense OF MS 1ol-
lows. stands, he said as low morally
as any predatory medieval nob!eman
and is q more dangerous member OF
society,"
Wall street then and there decrecd
that he should no longer be governor
of New York. So Senator Platt, as the
agent of scheming finance, undertook
the task of putting him on the shelf
for the vice presidency, Just as now
other agents of financial interests
are trying to nominate Hughes ior
president with the double purpose in
view of getting rid of an Independent
governor and of discrediting Roose-
welt and his policy.
Then came the assassination, lnau-
gurating the decade of Roosevelt one
of the most extraordinary men VINO
has appeared in the politics or the
western continent, of whom Grover
Cleveland has said that he was the
most accomplished politician that ever
served as president.
By birth an aristOcrat, yet MS ten
dencies have been democratic. by
birth and education an eastern man,
the west has claimed him as it's own.
An historian, yet he has not been con-
tent to pass his life among books, but
has become a maker of history himself.
His career is marked by strange con-
trasts and inconsistencies. 1ndepen-
dent, yet he has been partisan; coHr-
ageous, yet he is cautious; radical, yet
he is at times a very citadel of cOnser-
yatism; a refOrmer, yet he has used
Ihe methods of the machine to effect
his purpose. A man OF supreme VIII
and extraordinary energy, he has made
his way and insists upon having his
way in spite of all opposition. \
strange combination Of the idealist and
the practical, both statesman and ad
yertiser; simple and direct in his meth
DDS, yet he is an unsurpassed master
of dramatic situations and for fOcuss-
ing sympathetic attention on himself
at critical moments. Patriotic and in
spired with high ideals, yet he is over
whelmingly ambitious, with a passion
for command.
''The first thing that Roosevelt did
when he became president was to put
his ear to the ground. He heard q
mighty sound, the sound of tens OF
millions discontented even with the
fruits Of prosperity, inasmuch as that
~ made more glaring than
Inevitable inequalities of man
He listened to the sound and proceeded
to obey the voice of the people. -

PENSION BILL VETOED.
GoUernor DisapproUes Measure Af-
fecting Grill Var Veterans.

Albany, June Ex-Governor Hughes sent TO the
Assembly tonight his veto OF the veterans pen
sion bill, introduced by Assembyrnan Burns passed
by the Senate on Memorial Day. and then described
by Senator Owens as "a tribute TO the boys in
blue" The Governor says OF the bill:
This bill provides for pension 10 every soldier
sailor marine honorably discharged from the
army navy of the United States in the late
Civil War. who served therein at least ninety DAYS
and who has been employed for continuous pc
Rod Of fifteen years in the civil or military
service OF the state, OF any city, county, town
village thereof. upon reaching the age Of sixty
five years, and becoming incapacit for perform
ing the duties OF his employment.
Apart from the question of the advisability of
establishing a system OF pensions either for the
veterans Of the Civil War for those who have
rendered service 20 the state. this bill Is clearly
Objectionable. It is Just neither class and in
wolves indefnable discrimination
If the state were 10 allow pensions upon the
ground OF service in the Civil War. there is no
reason why the benefit should be limited to those
veterans who have been employed by the state or
by municipality. On the other hand II a Civil
Service pension were TO be established there is no
reason why the benefit should be limited TO vet
erans and other civil servants should be debarred
