The Portland newspapers have con
stantly kept their reader advised of
the progress that was being made.
Among recent guests at the Portland
Commercial Club was special delega
ton composed of Messrs. James McMil-
Ian, w. P, Guthrie, John F. Hansen,
George l.. Croker, and Fl. T. West, of
Twin Falls, Idaho. They visited Port
land and other cities to get pointers on
the building of $4,000 Court House.
No delegation that has honored this
city in recent years received a more
hearty wsIcome, and all the newspapers
contained elaborate accounts of the
visit.
Twice during thelast two months the
most centrally located windows of the
department store of Odds, Workman and
King, at the corner of Fifth and Wash
ington Streets, the business center of
Portland, have been filed with fruit
from Lewiston shown by the Lewiston
Land and Water company. The first
was a display of peaches which attracted
much attention: following this was a
most artistically arranged window of
grapes. and these we're served upon the
tables of the Portland Commercial Club
yesterday to almost five hundred bust

Idaho is doing her full share toward
making the Northwestern portion of the
United States the best known section
of the country, and with each succeed
ing month it is becoming more gener-
ally appreciated that her farmers and
horticulturists are adding millions Of
dollars to the wealth of the state and
country at large.
Oregon and Idaho are closely allied
in the work of improving the Snake and
Columbia Rivers, and probably the
most widely quoted meeting held dur
ing the last three months, as judged
from the newspaper columns, was tile
recent session of the Idaho md Oregon
Development League at Roseburg, Ore

THE PRICE OF EXPERIMENT.

In the past few months aerial navi-
gators have met with many accidents.
Lieutenant Selfridge was killed by the
fall of Mr.. Wright's aeroplane, and Mr..
Wright was severely injured. In the
balloon-races at Berlin one balloon
burst, five plunged into the North Sea,
aud the crew of one was drowned AS
the idea of plunging to death from a
great height seizes the Imagination
more strongly than do most other con-
ceptions Of danger, the reports of acci-
dents TO those who dare the upper
oceans will be made prominent and the
business of flying will seem one of the
most deadly of human enterprises.
Yet men will continue these risky ad-
ventures, the work of improving aerial
craft will 90 forward with no lack of re-
cruits. For it is safe to say that no
scientific experiments have been de-
layed by human cowardice. The race,
for all its timidity, it's seeming defc-
iency in moral courage, is wonderfully
rich in men who take risks for the sake
of knowledge. In chemical laboratories
men daily stake health and life in ex-
pertinent. Physicians subject them
selves to disease, even use their own
bodies ia laboratory tests of chemical
and bacterial poisons, in order to adj
vance medical science. Explorers OF
dangerous lands are easier to find than
the money to equip their expeditions.
1t is not so wonderful that thousands
of laborers are found in trades that inn
peril life, for the motive Of wages is
present, and men who must earn liv-
ing cannot finch. But scientific ex-
pertinent is usually carried on by men
whose choice of work is wide, who vol
unfairly seek paths of risk and hard
ship in pursuit of intellectual goals.
1t is such disinterested adventures
that are Drawing the unstable air; for
although the governments have appro-
priated money to assist them, the work
they are engaged in is purely scientific

OPTIMISM.

60 wrong, who can cheerfully strug-
gle through difficulties and pre-
verse conditions. IT'S not much
credit to be optimistic when the
clouds have rolled by and the pres
ent is bright and the future rosy.
The rub comes in looking pleasant
when, by all the rules of the game,
you should be blue and disheart-
ened.
Like every other industry, min
ing has been greatly affected by
the momentary condition of the
country for the past year. But I'M
like many, it has had peculiar CON
ditions confronting it that have
added to its general depression
The activities of the great manu-
featuring and other like industries
have been curtailed, where in many
cases mining has ceased altogether.
People must eat, they must wear
clothes, and have their amusements,
even in times of financial string
ency. But unless mining is on a
paying basis, the development of
new enterprises must necessarily
suffer.
The fact that this is presidential
year has added materially to other
causes in establishing that seem
ingly gloomy aspect in the mining
world. The man who is seeking
financial aid on proposition, how
ever meritorious, is told wait until
after election. "Atter election, af.
ter election" has been the cry for
so long that many have become
discouraged To them the placing
of their property or the performance
of an unusual assessment is far
more important than which Viii
liam will be elected; but they are
obliged to wait until politics have
run their course.
In the midst of all this uncer-
tainty and inactivity is it not en-
couraging to get CHEEKY response
to your inquiry as to conditions
in certain camp or about a GER
tain mans property? "Well, how
are things coming on in your sec
ton of the country2" you ask of a
visitor from one of the mining
camps. "Might be better, but
things are Frightening up, and we
are still plugging along. We have
a great country down there, and
you can't keep us back. Keep
your eye on our camp" Wouldn't
YOU rather have him answer this
way than to reply: Conditions are
worse than | ever saw them. The
country is going to the bow-wows
aud if things don't pick up pretty
soon our camp will be a deserted
village"
One of the most successful opera
tors in the west recently remarked
that more optimism was needed II
the mining business than any Other
in the world. He said he had cul
tivated it as one of his most valu
able assets. And we believe tina
he hit the nail on the head. Car
you expect the other fellow to ge
into the game if you are pulling
poor mouth over it yourself2 Ate
all, optimism Is only an imaginary
condition. You can acquire it
no additional cost, and it is so con
tagious that you can impart it t.
others by persistently displaying j
yourself. Then it means capital t.
you, too.-Mining Review.

consIderabIr attention even before

plan agreed upon was to use the ne
gro plank in the platform as sop

In other words the negro leaders
holding office under the Roosevelt al

the "Rig Stick" that 1t is their duty

ers of their race into line for Taft,

heads. But the Indications are thai
the Jobs of these leaders will be
hard one, for from all accounts. tho
temper Of the negro voters in the
pivotal states in the East and West
has not been improved any by the
results ut Chicago.
All the Intelligent negro leaders
realize that the negro plank In the
pIatfOHm Is Il much weaker bit OF

Is accustomed to handing them. 1t
may be said that the sop passed to
them by the National Convention Is
far less satisfactory than the plank
adopted by the Republican conven-
ton OF Ohio. which declared without
eQuivocation in favor of the reduction

which have DISTINGUISHED illiterate
