Chairman Clayton on Democratic
Policies.

The following extracts from the
speech Of Hon. Henry d. Clayton,
on assuming the chair of the Dem
ocratic convention at Denver:
This is Democratic year.
Democratic ideas are now popular.
Doctrines taught by our party and
scoffed at by our opponents are now
urged as a gospel Of their own.
Measures and policies of Democrat
ic origin are now pretendedly advo-
Gated by the leaders of the Repub-
lican party. 1t is no longer an
archistic to declare private mono
poly to be indefensible, or that the
great transportation companies
should be regulated and controlled
by public. Former questioning of
the decision of bare majority of
the supreme court in the income
tax case cannot now be heard. be
cause of the greater noise Of the We
hement and embOldened denuncla-
ton of the judges and judicials acts
that have shocked the country. A
demand for the revision Of the tariff
is no longer IA threat to destroy our
industrial system. Trusts are not
to be tolerated even by the Repub-
lean party. We need not now en-

SURE REPUBLICAN. .

California is placed in the doubt
full list because of the Asiatic ex-
clusion plank of the Denver plat
form. Illinois is there because
Gompers and John Mitchell are ex-
pected to bring the labor vote into
the Bryan camp, especially in view
of the Republican factional fight.
Wisconsin is there because the
Denver platform represents nearly
everything which the Wisconsin
delegation, through Senator LaFol-
lette, sought and lost in the Chica-
go convention. Colorado is con
coded fighting ground, and Nebras-
ka already is in the throes of one
of its most bitter political struggles.
Ohio is held to be doubtful, but
admittedly with the odds favoring
the Republicans. Montana and
the Dakotas look hopefully to the
Democrats.

PREDICTS BIG WHEAT CROP.
A. d. Charlton Saye Fears OF Short
are Are Unfounded.

That the wheat crop OF the Palouse
country will be an average one is the
belief Of A. d. Charlton, assistant
general passenger agent OF the Mort
ern Pacific, who has just returned
from a trip through Washington, says
the Portland Oregonian. He says that
while the grain has been much dam
aged in spots, this condition does not
necessarily mean a crop failure, or
even a small yield on the whole
While the grain generally will yield
less per acre than last year. the acre
age is larger, and this will make up
for shorter yield per acre, 80 that
the total crop will average up well.
With the good prices in prospect, Mr..
Charlton believes the crop is such that
It means continued prosperity for the
Inland Empire and consequently for
Portland.
Mr.. Charlton met c. NJ. Levy, third
vice-president Of the Northern Pa.
cific on the sound, and Travelled
through the state with him. Mr.. Levy
is on a trip looking over the west
end Of the line, and will be In Port
land the last Of this week. He will
spend several days in this city.

Rumor Is Not Correct.

It was rumored here the first Of
the week that the proposed extern
sion OF the Columbia Southern rail-
road had been abandoned and that
the Corvallis & Eastern would be 'the
line extended into Crook county, says
the Madras Pioneer. Mr. Howard, in
response to an inquiry over the tel
ephone, emphatically denied the ru-
NOR, and says so far as he knows the
Columbia Southern will be the line
with which the Central oregon will
connect. He stated further that II
would be entirely satisfactory to have
the subscribers In this section make
their subscriptions contingent upon
the extension Of the Columbia South
ern or some line from the north.
The rumor referred to above was
the subject OF much discussion here,
as the extension Of the c. & e. was
not looked upon with favor. Mr..
Howard's explanation and the sugges-
ton that the subscriptions be con-
ditioned on the extension of the CO.
lumbia Southern will, however, over
come what might have been a big OBJ
stacle in securing subscriptions.

was a member, the services being con-
Quoted by Rev. Clarke, assisted by

ing the 14th chapter of John, which
Eliza had some time ago requested to
be read at her funeral, added a few
comforting remarks for the bereaved
relatives and friends.

16 years, 3 months and 20 days old

Hay Gets Wetting.

Ten thousand tons OF hay in the
central part Of Crook county received
a thorough wettlng in the fields last
Sunday and Monday. Much of the
hay was either in the shock or In
partly finished stacks. some in the
wlnrow, and no small part In the
swath. just as 1t fell from the ma
chimes.
Everyone began cutting the Fourth
OF July and but few of them had be-
gun to stack when the storm COM
menced. The greater part Of the hay
that got wet Is alfalfa and meadow
grasses and will not be seriously in
jured unless the rains continue.
Within a radius Of 10 miles Of this
place 10000 tons have been caught
in the rain, but all of the ranchers
are optimistic, saying that the benefit
will be greater to the second crop
than the damage to the first.-Prine-
vile Journal.

Cron Renorts Encouraging.

Crop reports in the last few days
from the various districts adjacent to
this place are encouraging and indi-
cate that the yield is going to be
much better than was anticipated.
From Agency Plains, the Fisher dis
trict. Methodist Hill, Culver and other
districts from which farmers were In
town the last of the week, the report
is brought that an average crop will
be harvested, and that the yield Will
be much heavier than was predicted
two weeks ago. Much of the grain
is very late this year and this was es-
pecially benefited by the heavy rain
last week Several farmers In this
Immediate neighborhood who were
preparing to cut all their grain for
hay, have concluded to thresh as the
grain is so much better than they
expected. A few farmers say they
will have as good a crop as they had
last year, but not many are so fortu-
nate, although the reports altogether
are very encouraging.

Stopping of National Waste.
One cannot ride through the Blue
mountains and not feel guilty for the
government which has permitted the
frightful waste of forest fires to con-
tinue for years, as in the past
Here is an entire hillside once COW
cred with magnificent forest, now a
barren waste, dotted here and there
with blackened stumps and marked
with the remains of the forest mon
arch, once the pride of the hills.
With no timber to hold the snow
fall. It melts and runs down hurried
ly to the lower lands, tearing out the
grass roots, leaving the hillsides bar
ren, scanned, arid and useless.
With timber to catch and hold the
snow, these hillsides would be stor.
age reservoirs for moisture, luxuriant
pastures and timber reserves of ines
tlmable value.
The government must be congratu-
lated for saving the remnants The
bulk Of the timber is cut away and
burned down, but even at this late
day it is glorious to see this great
waste of forest wealth stopped. In a

INDIA PUNJAB TRADE.
People Seeking More Modern Com
forts Than Formerly.


According to Consul General Will
liam II. Michael, OF Calcutta, the re-
port on the internal trade Of the Pun
jab, India, for the three years ending
with March last reflects the fact that
the agricultural conditions Of the
province were very favorable, except
in the middle year of the triennium.
He summarizes the trade as follows:
The highest export figures succeed
the excellent crops of 1905, and 40
per cent more goods were exported
during this three-year period than
during the preceding one. BY far the
bulk of the export trade is in food
grains and the total under this head
was II per cent greater than in the
previous triennium. There was an
increase OF 29 lakhs or $966,666 in
value of imports. despite slackening
in the abnormal imports of sugar,
piece goods, apparel gunny bags, CHI
Clarified butter), and kerosene oil,
all indicate increased purchasing pow
er of the people, Imports Of apparel
rose in value from 5S lakhs, or ST.
9SS, $3.50, to 1O3 lakhs, or ;3,4SS,3S0.
European cotton piece goods fell off
by IA lakhs, or $175,000, while In
dian piece goods advanced by about
so lakhs, or s1,666,6sO. Prices of
European piece goods were exceed
ingly high, and this fact helped to
turn the scale in favor OF country
made goods. On the whole the fig
ures indicate steady progress in pros
perity. and those relating to the i'm
ports especially show that the people
are seeking more material comfort
than has hitherto satisfied them.

mulating Against Law Violators.

In striking contrast with the dull
ness that has marked the police court
there were four drunks before Re-
corder Fitzgerald this morning. Three
were Indians, while the other was a
white man, who claimed he had gone
wrong drinking near" beer.
George Washington, Allen Padawa
and Charley Bennett were the Red
skins. When the first named was
questioned by Judge Fitzgerald as to
whether or not he had been drunk,
he grunted in reply
only beer now"
1.-The fine is more for getting drunk
on beer" said the court, hurnorously.
Eight dollars, or four days in jail"
The same sentence. double the pen
atty imposed in the old days, was
handed out to all the four men. When
the white man, Hilloughby, was SEN
fenced, he protested vigorously for
being arrested for drinking near
beer, which he said he had regarded
as a temperance drink and harm
less
However, his statement was not
taken at full face value by the court
or the chief of police. for the latter
says all OF the men had found some
thing stronger than near" beer.
