Premier Katsura said that in such
matters the Japanese government

economic condition Of the country.
The leading newspapers in com

situation, say that the Japanese peo-

in California. The editorials further
assert that the cordial relations es-

action Of these Americans, who fail

"Asahi" in commenting on the

PoRTLAND's CAMPAIGN,

Portland's boundless nerve invites
the admiration OF every man who has
any nerve of his own and who be
lieves in big programs and ambitions
II is no small thing for one lone
city to cody demand that all the
good things Of great State shall be
sent to her, forthwith, and that she
be considered. henceforth and for
ever, the pivotal center Of the com
monwealth. Mighty few cities have
such abounding gall and peerless ef-
frontry, and when it is exhibited in
the highest places and made the IS
sue Of the hour in councils of the
State, the time has arrived for yield
ing such tribute to her manifest ego
tism as shall be commensurate with
the display and the peculiar senti.
ments Of the various sections effect
ed.
For our part, the story Of Port
lands lust of everything good that
we ever stood half show Of win
ming, is an old one; this city is Port
lands one deathless dread; our posi-
ton at the mouth Of the river and the
natural commercial facilities that are
ours. has kept her on the gridiron
for many a year, and Astoria, too,
and that she has succeeded in fore
stalling every conceivable advan-
tage we have gone after adds en-
phasis to the story We never ex-
pect to win anything that Portland |
can deprive US of, whether she Sc
cures it or not; and she has no more
merciful schedule for any other town
in the State. She would sacrifice
Salem, or Eugene or The Dalles,
just as quickly and completely: We
do not know but it may be the most |
expedient thing TO give her all she
is demanding; we might stand some
show then of moving undisturbed in
our meagre orbits and make success
ses of the minor things she shall
have left US.
We are all proud of Portland. We
cannot help it; she has forged ahead
and is now one of the notable metro
poll of the country: But we gravely
doubt the perpetuity Of such policy
Of inordinate hoggishness as actuates
her, especially if one or more cities
shall arise in Oregon to challenge
her supremacy.

BY WAY OF REBUKE.


Dear as is the principle of popular
government to most men, the insuper-
able question, @are we prepared to
exploit it wisely and safelyp will not
down, The great State of Oregon is
face to face with this problem, and
its solution is overwehlmingly neces-
sary. The representative rule has pre-
vailed so long with us that we have
not acquired the habit nor gift OF CO.
gent reasoning on our civil affairs; we
have treated them specifically and
expressed ourselves tentatively, at all
times, leaving the crux, and collateral
data, to be thought out and finally
disposed of, by our agents in every
field Of governmental action and au-
thority; hence we are yet to be train
ed to the effective and correct de-
termination of the rules we are pro-
.viding for our peace and progress.
To this end, it may be well il the
United States Senate shall (by way Of
rebuke), decline to seat George E.
Chamberlain as Senator from this
State when he claims that honor, aud
send him home with the message to
this people to amend their Constitu-
ton before they venture to transcend
it; for the Constitution of the coun-
try, and that of the State, are still
above the people.
Theirs the right to change, amend,
qualify, abridge or extend its scope
in either case; but until it is so
wrought upon, it may not be treated
with disdain nor negligence; and we
believe, in the case alluded to, both
great fundaments have been fore
sworn; and so general is this conyic-
ton becoming over the State, that the
Senatorial question falls with admir-
able timeliness and appropriate sug-
gestion, for the instant adjustment Of
one Of the gravest issues that has
arisen in many day.
The mere raising of such question
offers a commanding lesson to our
people to place the initiative and ref
srendum on much higher plane thar
mas been accorded it and construe its
in the light Of larger and
yrayer duty than the mere passing of
'catch-penny' laws. The people should
Tot deal in small and inconsequential
hings; they and their transcendant
,ower must be reserved for the big
,er issues and emergencies of gov
and even then the final word
must not go forth unless it tallies abb
olutely with the constitutional pre-
ogative.
Perhaps the faithful study of the
elation of the initiative to the consti-
on and the consumate application of
9th to our deepest needs, for a half
entury or so, will bring US to a pass
here we can safely be trusted not :
, weave nets and snarls about our ,,
wn peaceful feet. Until that time of .
nowledgable faculty arrives, we had r
est go very slowly and use our fine >,
-iyileges with honest caution.

POLLUTED WATER.

Prof. E. F. Pernot of Oregon Agri-
cultural College, has issued bulletin
from which we take the following:
There are many families living in
the country who should enjoy the best
of health, but who are always ailing
The cause of i'll health may, as rule,
be traced to their use Of polluted
water, produced by the unsanitary
condition of their surroundings.
Few homes have proper drainage
from sinks and baths, dish water is
thrown out of the back door on the
ground near the well; garbage is
similarly disposed of to decompose
and drain into the we'll Wash water
containing filth that would not be toll
Grated on the clothing is also emptied
on the ground to drain into the we'll.
Most of the open wells situated near
the house or barn are but cesspOols.
The we'll is the lowest point in it's
vicinity into which liquids drain.
Frequently privy is located within
stones throw of an open well. When
the water table rises to the surface of
the ground, as it always does during
the winter in western Oregon, all sur
face water is contaminated, and, as
the water level lowers, the open wells
become reservoirs for the drainage.
The ordinary stone or brick wall of
an open we'll only serves the purpose
of preventing the caving in of the
earth, and in no sense acts as a
filter.
Where we'll is the only means of
obtaining water, let it be dug to the
water-bearing stratum, wall it up with
brick laid in cement, for 10 feet, arch
it over, with the pump pipe and arch
we'll cemented in; fill the remainder
of the hole which may be Is to 20
feet, with clay, well tramped down.
and the result will be a bottomless
brick jug, deep under ground, into
which no surface water, worms or
animals can penetrate. The water
from such well is as pure as can be
obtained from the locality in which
it is situated.

The EIRELEss COOKER.

The fireless cooker is no longer an
experiment, it is a reality which has
come to stay because it has proved
it's value, through many tests, as
labor saving device which has nu-
merous points in it's favor.
Chief among these. of course, is it's
economy. 1t economies fuel in the
preparation of all foods that require
long cooking. This in the aggregate
may prove quite a saving, especially
where the more expensive fuels are
used.
1t also economies time. The eX-
act value of this cannot, in all cases,
be so easily reckoned The truth of
the legend that time is money is
not always clearly understood and ap-
preciated. In all cases it may not
represent an actual value in dollars
and cents, although indirectly it al
ways affects ones earning and saving
capacity.
To make the fireless cooker.
first secure a good tight box and
have it fitted with a perfectly tight lid
on hinges. Then set it on low, mar
row table Gan ordinary kitchen table
with a portion of the legs sawed off
will make an ideal stand) and fill it
around and beneath the nests for the
cooking pots with clean bran. The
