Somewhat Like q Torpedo.

And now the Portland Wholesale
Grocers' Association will, it is said,
be placed under the searchlight by
U. S. Attorney Bristol, who after he
has cleaned up the land-fraud inves-
tigation will direct his attention to
such combines as may be in restraint
of trade and whose acts amount to a
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. This Association is composed
of five leading firms, and it is claimed
that they have formed an organiza-
ton which controls practically the
grocery business for which Portland
is the natural distributing point. 1t
is claimed they have maintained a
minimum price on goods other than
those handled under manufacturers
contracts.
Their manner of procedure was,
according to the Oregoniam, to refuse
to purchase from manufacturers I'M
less they would subscribe to the con-
ditiOns imposed by the local mOnop-
oily, which always assumed to dictate
the selling price and the margin the
manufacturer should receive. If the
manufacturer refused to accept the
terms the association declined to han
die the goods, which had the effect of
excluding the outsider from doing
business in that city. 1t is custO-
mary for the manufacturer to intro
duce his goods through the resident
wholesalers, as it is found impractical
to deal direct with the retailers,
which he would be required to do if
he established trade relations indie
pendent of the wholesalers.
/ am not ready to say anything,

to that paper, when asked if the
Grand Jury would make an investi-
CATION of the reported infractions of
the antitrust law by local business
combines. 1.-THE preliminary work
of investigation, which must be done
before the Grand Jury convenes, has
not been completed, and 1 cannot in
dictate what particular line of exami-
nation that body will take up. If
any charges are made, alleging I'M
lawful combinations in restraint of
trade, they will be inquired into and,
if the accusations are found to be
based on fact, the violatorS will be
prosecuted"

That Sunburst Of Prosperity.

The Western Electric Co., of Chi
cago, has dropped from it's payroll
5000 employees, and gives as a reason
the unbounded prosperity that is
rolling in gigantic waves over the
country. This view is so optomistic
that it is somewhat difficult to class
it as altogether paradoxical. But it
is. The order, it seems, has gone
forth to shout it, in season and out
of season, SO that it fairly browns
the groans of want and poverty,
while no attention is paid to the
mighty struggles of labor to wreSt
from capital its share of the joyous
sunshine.
Take one element noted by Presi-
dent F. Nj. Barton of the Electric
company to justify this view: The
high prices paid for copper makes
construction of supplies, in which
our apparatus is used, much more
expensive, than at any time the past
twenty-four years. The consequence
is decrease of product" Is that
cheerful news for the stock holders
likely to create hilarity, or does it
give guaranty of food and clothing,
for the employee and his family Has
the increase in the cost of copper
lined the stomachs of the operators
in the bowels of the earth, instead of
the plethoric pocket-book of the
mine-owners? If so, it might be
considered a glimmering ray of the
sunburst of prosperity, but the
striking miners have different
story to tell.
The fact is, that as far back as
1896, the order was given to simply
boost" everything and everybody
that would help the party in power.
Boost prosperity! Boost Teddy!
Boost the Administration! Boost
everything! Look on the bright
side, if it has one, and declare you
see it, though you may not! This is
the high-pressure method of man.

and burst, if you may; but boost

Loss Of tho Port Blakeley Mill.

The Port Blakeley lumber mill,
one of the largest in the world, was
almost wholly destroyed by fire,
Monday night. The loss involved in
mill and machinery is said to amount
to nearly $500, 900. and considerable
lumber on the docks was burned.
Two thousand persons, directly and
indirectly, have been thrown out of
employment.
The fire was discovered at 1890
Monday night, and the fire depart
ment at Seattle was notified. The
fire-boat Snoqualmie was immediate
ly dispatched and made the run to
Blakeley in half an hour. Soon as
she arrived twelve nozzles began
pouring their immense streams into
the roaring furnace, which then con-
sisted of the whole mill proper, but
the floods seemed to have little effect,
and they were diverted to saving the
lumber about the docks and in the
dry-kilns. Six vessels were at the
dock, when the fire started, but all
except the schooner Blakesley es-
capped without damage. The latter
was slightly injured. The bark
Dumcliffe had just left the mill with
6, 600, 900 feet of lumber and had been
lowed into the ofiing. Had she not
left, she would have been damaged,
if not destroyed by the fire.
The origin of the fire is said to
have been o hot-box of a bearing in
the planing-mill.
1t required all the aid rendered to
save the dry-kiln and probably an
extension Of the flames to the town.
1t is thought that enough lumber has
been saved to load all the waiting
ships.
The mill was insured for 20 per
cent. of its value and will doubtless
be rebuilt.

that it might be achieved by infinite
patience and constant work, not much
more difficult than working out q de-
ciduous fruit, both sour and sweet.
The audience looked skeptical and

pies. You may taste the red side

A Higher Life.

Now no less wizard in maniprla-
lation of natural law than Luther
Burbank proposes to apply to the
human race some of the life-giving
and sublimating influences that he
exercises with such wonderful power
over plant-life. He declares that
with proper prenatal conditions and
favoring environments, mankind may
be brought to a degree of perfection
far in advance of all existing races
in physical and mental power. He
refers to our own nation as an evil
dence of the virility that has resulted
from mingling of races brought here
by emigration. They are more
crossed than any other nation in the
world, and the result is that the sal
lent qualities are presented in an
acute form-the good and the bad
qualities are engrafted with equal
precision on human character. ELM
mate far as possible the bad, and
promote by one-half the study and
cndeavor that is bestowed upon grad
ed stock far good qualities, and what
may not the developments of a few
generations mean?
Mr.. Burbank is an active member
of branch society of Engenics in
California, having it's origin at Wash
ingtOn, d. c., in which lifc-study and
human development is made the ba-
sis of united thought and incentive
of brainy men and women. 1t is q
matter of congratulation that we
have that gentleman enrolled as CO.
laborer. 1t gives assurance of sue
cess in an endeavor that loses much
of the ardor of hope from the fact
it will take generations to afford
complete demonstration. Unfortu-
nately the world lives in the present
and for the present. People are
selfish and it is very generally held
that Futurity must take care of itself.
But there are q few men, like Bur-
bank, who have achieved enough of
earthly fame to begin the scientific
development of the immortal soul
life, and we trust that he will be
cheered by the effects that may give
ample assurance of complete success
in the course of his time.
Here are some of his admonitiOns:
"Pick out any trait YOU want in your
child-granted that he is normal child
be it honesty, purity, loveableness, in
dustry, thrift, what not. BY surround
ing this child with sunshine from the
sky and from your your own heart, by
giving him the closest communion with
nature, by feeding this child nutritious
food. by giving it all that is implied in
healthful envirOnmental influences, and
by doing this in love. you can cultivate
in the child and fix there for all its life
all of these traits.
ain child rearing. environment is
equally essential with heredity. There
is no such thing in the world, there never
has been such q thing as a predestined
child-predestined for heaven or hell
Heredity is simply the sum of all the
effects Of all the environments OF all past
generations on the responsive. ever
moving life force"
