NEGRO SOLDIERS IN VERMONT.

A lot of th- yellow papers have been
throwing fits over the transfer OF the
1eth U. S. Cav. TO Fort Ethan Allen in
Vermont. They have generally predict
ed all sorts of troubles which would
arise from the Vermonters getting a
dose of the same medicine as the South
ern States, owing to the presence of a
greater number of negros than had ever
been in the State before. All sorts of
troubles were predicted, and it was al
legged that the railroads were already
contemplating putting on Jim Grow
cars. This latter is specifically denied
by the railroads and tram-car compa-
nies. and the Vermont papers say that
their people are not anticipating any OF
the disagreeable things that the yellow
journals are SO fres.y Predicting. The
10Th u. S. Cav. Is a well-disciplined
organization. with its members self-re-
specting American soldiers, who know
how to behave themselves. 1t is firmly
believed that the presence of the 10th
U. s. Cav. will be attended with no
more disturbing incidents than the
presence of the white regiments which
have previously garrisoned the fort

After all our talking about the negros
flocking to- the towns it appears that
more than three-fourths (773 per cent?
of them live in the country districts.
That the negres are industrious is
shown byo'the sfact that 3,992.337 of
them are engaged In gainful occupa-
tions. This is almost one-half of the
entire number. (which is a very credit
able showing for the race. The birth
rate of the negros has been steadily
decreasing, and showed a marked re-
duction in the decade between 1890
and 1S90.o It's still higher than that
of the whites, but the death rate is al
most double that of the whites. In
1900 the death rate of the negros was
30.2 per cent, while that Of the whites
was only 1913 per cent. The total num-
Der of negros in the United States ac-
cording to the last census was 8,S40,7S9.
In 1890, the first census, there were
s97,S97 slaves reported. The free ne
gros would have carried the total up
to nearly 100000, showing tina. the
negsos have increased about tenfold in
that time, while the total population of
the country has increased from 3,929.-
214 to nearly 100000 The total
population has increased about 23
times.

1t will be a surprise to many to know
how few negros there are in the promi-
nent Southern cities. For example.
31,522 in Charleston, about the same in
the great city of ST. Louis. with its
100000 population. Even in New Or
leans, which we are led to believe over
flows with negros, there are but 77,714
in a total population of 2S7.104, or less
than one negro to four whites.

Last week petition was circulated
about town asking to have the tatih on
jute removed In order to make grain
sacks cheaper to the consumer. This
petition was signed by every republi'
can in town and country to whom It
was presented. Now there is nothing
singular or strange about this. but
there is something overwhelmingly fun
ny in it.
1t is this. To see men sign q peti'
ton to remove the tariff ON jute TO
make sacks cheap and keep it:on wheat
to make 1t high. Then to present this
petition to their congressman whom
they voted for and asked for high
tariff. When this congressman osses
their names he will learn they voted
one way and petitioned another. Those
fellows who signed that petition TO
have the duty taken off jute and voted
for congressman to keep it on are the

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE

THOUSANDS of eastern people are
today looking with longing eyes
toward the Pacr6c Northwest.
Some of them are doing fairly well
at present, but the net results of
the time and energies expended each
year are not satisfactory; nor does
the future give promise of greater
SUCCESS under existing environ
ments. Many, less fortunate but
equally worthy, are face to face
with the fact that unless they liter
ally get move on themselves
the time is not far distant when
they will have nothing to move.
Others, possessed of ample capital,
are taking critical note Of western
progress and arc shaping their at
fairs to invest where the returns
are greater and the risk smaller,
with the intention of ultimately
following their money. The avidi-
ty with which literature descriptive
of the Pacific Northwest is read in
the cast is conclusive proof that
the western fever has infected
nearly every community. The
cyclones, floods and thunder storms
so common east of the Rocky
mountains are important factors
in focusing attention upon the Pa
cifc Northwest, where these things
are practically unknown and where
the land never wears out. But 1t
is hard to sever the social and fam
lily ties which have existed from
childhood. Doubts and fears must
necessarily arise in considering a
step which means so much either
for veal or voc. 1t is we'll to
carefully consider the move; then
make a decision and make it final.
No one can absolutely guarantee
the success of your undertaking,
but in country where crops never
fail, and where there is ready
market for everything produced,
there is certainly no excuse for
failure. The obstacles that i'm
peded the progress of the early
pioneer will not confront the i'm
migrant of 1906. The land will
cost him more if he buys it, hut
the price received for what he
raises will more than offset the
differences. Fair health, energy
and enough money to make
small payment on piece of ground
will insure independence in almost
any part of the Pacific Northwest
in from three to ten years.
But with ali this, we know Of no
more favored spot than this beauti-
full Kittitas valley. The land that
knows nothing Of cyclones, hurri-

LAST June the state of Oregon
elected a republican legislature and
state senate and at the same time
the people of the state expressed
by ballot their preference for
United States senator, their choice
being a democrat in the person OF
Gov. Chamberlain. From that
day TO this members of both houses
haye been trying to find some kind
of an excuse to get out of casting
their votes for Chamberlain
Through Senator Fulton, they APP
pealed to Roosevelt, who told them
to live up to their agreement in
other words to vote for Chamber
lain. Not much consolation there
for the hypocritical body. Then
Taft was appealed to and he said:
II have no advice to offer. Got
it where the bottle got the cork
again. Washington had primary
election Sept. Sth i'll which the
people expressed a preference for
United States Senator and w. l..
Jones won out on the republican
side and there were some culprits in
and out of the legislature who
wanted to get away from voting
for Jones-another Oregon deal
all honorable republicans too,
donch" you know! Our senti-
ment along that line can be couch
ed in a few words of plain english
that cannot be construed to have
two meanings, and it is this: ANY
man who made pledge TO support
the peoples choice for tnited
States senator in case of his election
and after he secures his election
fails or refuses to carry ont that
pledge, should not be allowed to
return TO his home after the adj
journment of the legislature and
should be given a limited time to
leave the state or be prosecuted for
perjury.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Gas stock continued today to be quite
the most interesting security on the list,
and that, too-as was the case yesterday
not because of it's prominence In the trad
ing. In fact it entered but slightly in
the record of what was done. as only
three twenty-five share lots were sold
Yesterday there were no sales.
The stock offered today was on a lower
level than was. the case yesterday. and
that level had to be changed before sales
were made. The range of the buying was
from 691s to 6ss4 and at the close the bid
was at the latter figure and the asking
price was 60. AS compared with the clos
ing figures of yesterday which were 6!ns
bid and 715s asked, the decline was rather
marked.
At times the stock was offered in one
hundred share lots and the cheap
est figure for such lot was 6S7s. but
there did not seem to be any demand for
it at that price. There was no question
about the market for larger lots as at one
time bids were on the floor from three
brokers aggregating eighteen hundred
shares. The range of the bids for lots
of from three hundred to one thousand
shares was 80 to 81
1t is estimated by some that the entire
amount of stock accumulated during the
past few months in one. control is not
more than twenty-eight hundred shares,
although at one time it was said to have
been larger, but that some sales were
made during the period Of the high range
of prices.
During the time the stock was UP the
usual dividend notice from the company
was read declaring that the quarterly
dividend of 80 cents per share was to be
paid to stockholders of record April IL,
and some of the brokers wanted to know
whether the definite or the indefinite arti-
Gle was used before the word dividend.
Some phases of the course of gas stock
on the local exchange since the begin
ming of the present year are shown by
the following tabulated statement, which
gives the number of shares of the stock
