Mr.. Hartman has always had
first place in our hearts. at least
since he begun the railroad sur
vey through central Oregon. but
the people Of Harvey county viii
experience a change of heart If
he should allow the electric road
TO get in first. In that case our
affections would be transferred
to the electric line-in fact we
will give the first railroad into
the Harney country the prefer
ence, regardless of its name.

When some country Cooper Nor

The solidity of the banks out
side of Portland has been demon
strated beyond question. The
same is true of the banks which
have successfully weathered a
storm in Portland. Now that
the actual condition of all these
institutions has been disclosed
and shown to beperfectly healthy
it will be advisable for the hoard
ers to withdraw from the stock
ings, teapots and safety deposit
vaults the money which should
be in circulation, earning some
thing for it's owners and facili-
tating business for good, respon-
sible borrowers who have secur-
ty of unquestionable value.

they do not deserve. These men

The writer was shown the law
governing the removal of any
timber whether within the re-

without first securing q permit.
This law was passed in 1882 but
has been q dead letter up until
the matter was turned over to
the forestry department. We
have been enjoying privileges
that are now TO come to q halt
and no doubt many of the COM
plants that have been registered
are through ignorance of this

ROOSEVELT NOT A CANDIDATE.

A Washington dispatch of Dec.
.ll says: President Roosevelt
will not be a candidate for a
third term, All doubt of this
point was tonight dispelled by
an authoritative statement from
the White House that Mr.. Roose-
welt still adheres to the declara-
tion Of renunciation made on the
night Of the election three years
ago, In the statement issued to-
night, President Roosevelt says
he has not changed and shall not
change the decision delivered to
the American people in 1904. 1t
appears that President Roosevelt
had been awaiting the call for
the Republican national conyen-
tion TO afford the proper oppor-
tunity for making his position
clear and unmistakable, thus
leaving the field clear for Fair
banks, Taft, Knox, Foraker and
other declared Or receptive can
iidates for Republican nomina-
ion. The presidents statement
follows:
"On the night of election | /

MONEY IS PLENTIFUL.

The showing made by twenty
nine National banks in this stat,
outside of Portland is ample ant
unmistakable evidence that In,
financial interests of the variou.
sections of Oregon represented
in the table are in the hands OF
conservative men. With an aver
age cash,reserve of "A per cent
of the deposits of Sl2, $50. 0O0
nearly $1,000. 900 Of United
States bonds 10 secure circulation
and an additional $l,5OO,OOO of
United States and other bonds,
it is not to be wondered that the
country banks" as they are
termed, have in most cases been
increasing their deposits at a
time when there have been heavy

of fully Sl0,000,0O0. In the face
of such a showing it is easy 10
understand the difficulty that
would be encountered in starting
a run on any of these conserya-
lively conducted institutions. |
Even in far-away Burns, in one
OF the most remote regions of /
the state, the two banks have .

necessarily reflect on the less

that his depositors should lose
confidence at a time when the
confidence of the country deposi-
tors remains unimpaired.

Tells
OF STATE Mines
STATE MINE INSPECTOR y. w
Paul SPEAKS OF CONDITIONS
IN WHEELING DIETRICH.

WHEELING, Aug. State Mine In
spector j. w. Paul, Of West Virginia
makes a somewhat unusual and Ger.
tain1y very interesting recommenda.
tion concerning the needs Of the
mines Of that State, after a tour Of
the mines in the neighborhood Of
Wheeling, says the National Labor
Tribune, Of Pittsburg. He complains
that the standard Of fitness Is perhaps
lower among the miners in that State
than IN any other State Of equal min.
ing Importance in the Union. His spe-
cifc recommendation IS that 10000
additional miners should be obtained
and they should be of a class which
will give the State a STANDARD of pro,
duction equal to her resources"
Something of this cost has been said
many times before, and said in this pa.
per. But It is lent extra value Wien
It comes from an official source, and
it can be depended on that Mr.. Paul's
remarks will secure him the earnest
III not exactly pleased) attention Of
the leading operators. For it is the
fault Of the great West Virginia ope.
rators that the standard of mining In
the State is low. The miners of Great
Britain, for example, are not the SOFT
that the West Virginia companies have
been welcoming. Their preference has
been for the poorest class of laborers
from Southern Europe-men who
know nothing about mining and will
never in the world make .as good a
miner as your Irishman, scotchman, Of
Welshman. But the latter know not
only how to mine, but how to ask for
what is due them. They are labor I'M
ionists, while the cheap labor with
which the West Virginia mines have
been so largely filled is non-union and
submits 10 intolerable conditions.
Cheap labor, however, is expensive
in the end. Perhaps some of the West
Virginia companies are beginning TO
find this out from practical expert
ence. There is no State in the I'm
ion which begins to have as many de-
structiye mine disasters as West Viz
ginia. This is because the States
cheap labor naturally incompetent
We are not sure that any of the large
operators have come to the conclusion
that Inspector Paul has come to, but
in any event 1t is announced that the
West Virginia State Commissioner of
immigration is in Europe and that be
| is offering the miners OF Switzerland
Scotland and Wales inducements to
come to West Virginia mines. Sim
ultaneously, President John Mitchell
of the United Mine Workers If
America, is making a vigorous organ
izing campaign in the State. He has
opened headquarters at Charleston and
It is said he has hopes Of organizing
So 900 non.union mines. If ne sue
ceds in doing this, the operators will
have less reason for preferring the
cheap variety of labor than ever.
