Washington and Oregon will have
exhibit cars sent out this fall turnout
the East by the Great Northern railway,
showing what this corner OF the coun-
try produces. Agriculture, horticul-
ture, the benefits of irrigation, and the
many things of interest to the home
seeker will be shown. Fruits, vegeta-
bles, grains and grasses will be on ex-
hibition, giving the eastern farmer
some idea of the wealth of good things
grown in the Northwest. Altho this is
the first year the Hill line has done
any of this work for Oregon, Washing
ton had car out last year and it is es-
timated it was visited by 100000 peo-
pie. The car was such a great sue
cess that it will be sent out again this
winter. Materials to fill the cars are
now being selected.

STOP INSURGENCY WITH PANIC
American Millionaire Declares Capital Will
Create a Financial Crisis

Rudolph Spreckels, the wealthy son
of Claus Spreckels Of San Francisco,
who has dedicated his life to a nation
wide fight on graft, believes that the
interests" are preparing some danger
Gus move to injure business temporarily
for the benefit of the stand-patters who
want to 60 back to congress this fall
and for the general benefit of all the
politicians who have been brought into
danger by the spread Of insurgency.
He came back from Europe last Sat
urday on the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria,
after having seen many prominent
American business men and bankers
abroad, and gave out the following
statement 10 the Associated Press:
L expect to see the moneyed inter
ests of the country make very signii-
cant move with the purpose of infu-
encing the people before the fall
elections. I believe that they will try
to cause national disturbance of bust
ness to frighten the whole people into
returning to Office the stand-patters.
However, I think the insurgents
will be returned to congress in larger
numbers and will indirectly control ma
tional legislation. Ultimately I think
the great West, the home of insur-
gency, will prove to be the savior Of
this country from the corporation inter
ests and the politicians they control.
Mr.. Spreckels found a much differ
ent opinion of American conditions in
Europe from that usually found by
American millionaires who 60 abroad.
The concentration of wealth in the
hands OF the few in the United States"
said he, is considered more dangerous
by foreign business men than our polit-
ical legislation.

FOR AUGUST

Last year,
Alack and alas!
Beverly, Mass,
And Bill on the fiat
OF his back in the grass
Sounding the depths
OF the opaline sky
And watching the clouds
Floating dreamily by.
Last year,
Alack and alas!
Beverly, Mass.
This year,
sycamore Hill,
Strenuous still,
And no one complaining
For want of a thrill,
Shindy and sass
Just as certain as fate
Beverly, Mass,
Can dream early or late,
Shore as it pleases
And snooze as it will
This year,
Sycamore Hill.

The Trucking Servant of Big Interests

The Trucking Servant of Big Interests
In announcing his candidacy for
United States senator John L. Wilson
declared and caused to be published
in his newspaper the statement that
if elected he would stick by Aldrich
until the crack of DOOM" Taking for
pretext a good-humored quip on
Speaker Cannon in another newspaper,
Mr.. Wilson's Post-Intelligencer says:
''Still knocking Speaker Cannon be-
cause he is Republican; still regret
ting that the insurgents and Democrats
did not kick this good Republican out
of Office because he adhered to parlia-
mentary rules"
What palmer definition OF the atti-
tude OF John L. Wilson could any one
ask for7 1t is in keeping with his
record during his service in Congress
years ago, when he was noted for no.
thing so much as for his readiness to
take orders from the dominant inter
ests. He has not changed. AS for
mer Governor Henry Mcbride recently
inquired, why should the people of
this state be called upon to send to
the national capital, in the person OF
Wilson, feeble echo of an expiring
system1"

Washington and Oregon are joining
hands in the plan for opening the Col
umbia river from the Pacific ocean as
far as Robson, B. c. This movement
was started by the Portland chamber Of
commerce, but up-river communities
of both states are helping in the plan
and there is no doubt that great del
egation of influential business men OF
the Inland Empire will join with Port
land in making the trip to Nelson, B.
c., next September to confer on the
project. Action by both the American
states and British Columbia in seeking
the same object ought to get results.
Portland interests are strongly behind
the movement and a meeting will be
held in that city within short time to
line up a delegation to attend the COM
ing meeting. Such project will be
of the greatest benefit to the Inland
Empire, and the way it is being taken
up indicates it will meet with success.

1t will not strike him, we're afraid,
as when the cold was singing, and up
and down the wind-swept street the
icicles were clinging. There's nothing
like dry parade, the shouts of hallelu-
liza, and the children skillfully arrayed,
for what you want to fool you.
It's very easy to forget there's such
a thing as summer, or such quantity
as sweat, what time the busy drummer
is rub-a-dubbing up the street mil
lion bumps a minute, and the line
sweeps by with rhythmic feet and the
little shavers in it.
1t somehow makes it seem that
booze is only fit for motors, and in the
scuffle that ensues not very many vo-
tiers bethink them that a chance re-
mains that milk won't give them gristle
to last when August boils their brain;
and their ears begin to whistle.
A crafty temperance is that contriv-
ing its elections when Boreas is at the
bat in these disputed sections. There
is time for everything-to labor and
to potter, and one to sit way back and
sing inaudibly for water.

Special rates to and from Seattle for
all parts OF the Northwest will be made
by the railroad and steamship COM
panies for the second annual Western
Washington fair to be given in Seattle
the week of Sept. 10 to Is, These
rates will give farmers an opportunity
to make visit to the Puget Sound
city after they have finished their sum-
mer labors. AS the fair does not open
until noon, visitors will have plenty OF
time to tour the city and shop in the
forenoon and put in the afternoon at
the fair.

To clamor for attention.
The next few weeks will fire the gun
Repeatedly and oftly,
And a lot of folks begin to run
For office very softly.

The bold insurgent will have polled
the principal chautauquas, and will by
that time have been told how far dis
Greet his balk was, or if to follow his
attack with further demonstration, OF
quietly to tip-toe back upon the reser-
walton.
The hopeful democrat will tool this
way and that in training and hope to
have us as rule have none of their
explaining. He'll carefully trim up
his wicks and get his pump pulsating,
and pass the grand stand every six or
seven seconds waiting.

NEWS OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST

The effort OF the Anti-Saloon League
of Washington to pass county local
option law, which will be made at the
session of the 1911 legislature, is
already being felt in the early cam
paign for seats in the Legislature. Can
didates for the primaries of September
10 have now begun to file their official
announcements Of candidacy, and the
Anti-Saloon League is at work sound
ing each candidate to learn where he
stands on the local option question,
and supporting or opposing him ac-
cordingly. The reformers are out to
win their point, which is the county
unit. Under the present local option
law in this state great many smaller
cities and country districts have voted
dry" but there has been no effort
to dry up the big cities, and some Of
the smaller ones have preferred to
stay wet. But if local option by the
county unit is made law, it will be
possible in many counties to dry up
the cities by the force of the country
vote. Thus the prohibition forces will
acquire strong asset to help them in
future campaigns. They tried to make
the county the local option unit in the
law of 1909, but could not get any
better than the township unit, under
which the Anti-Saloon League has
carried on its fight for the past two
years. The Anti-Saloon League will
also introduce bill at the next legis-
lature making the manufacture, as
we'll as the sale of liquor, unlawful in
dry" towns. Altogether the prohi-
bition question promises to be an i'm
portant one at the coming primaries
and election, and the numerous candi-
dates are rapidly lining up on one side
or the other.

There'll be some dust put up, it

And the man who voted water

The season hot and stewing,
And nothing but choice between

Despite what efforts the state author
tiles have been able to put forth with
the limited means at their command,
the worst forest fires since 1902 have
been raging in various parts Of Wash
ington during the past two weeks.
Twelve lives were lost in two days
during the worst of the fires, accord
ing to newspaper dispatches from var
ious points in the state, and the prop
erty loss will mount into the hundreds
of thousands, possibly millions.
The dry season this year began
early and has been very pronounced.
Also there has been the usual careless
ness of leaving camp fires, and in one
case a settler deliberately set fire to a
slashing at time Of year when it was
almost certain to start fire that might
cost many lives and much timber.
The state, altho it derives more than
one-half its taxes from its timber and
lumber interests, appropriates only
about SIS 900 year toward forest pro-
lection against fires. Most Of the fire
protection work done is carried on by
the Washington Forest Fire Associa-
ton, an organization supported by the
lumbermen of the state, and this
association, with the scanty number OF
fire wardens paid by the state, has
done much to keep down the number
of fires this summer. The ASSOCIATION
is constantly sending out literature,
warning settlers, campers and others
against careless acts which result in
bad fires, and the patrolmen of the
association manage to discover and put
out many small fires before they
have spread to a serious extent, but
once big forest fire has started no.
thing but Providence has any control
over it. Washington is losing millions
npon millions of feet of timber each
year, and every tree burned is just
so much wealth taken not only from
the individual owner, but from the
taxable wealth of the state.

And then September will return

He preached about the same old
things that Teddy has been preaching,
and most OF Rome's awakenings result
ed from his teaching. He battled holly
for the right, and valiantly imbued it,
and the stork could not attempt to
light but what he up and shooed it.
There was, however, one affair to
tell which is to tattle, and that was
when this Roman bear was coming
in from battle. He had, OF course,
put everything opposing him to slum-
Der, and Rome awaited him to sing
some laudatory number.
But here the parallel desists. Au-
gustus said them: mo, sirl" and when
he entered with his lists it might have
been the grocer, for all the greeting
that he got from that admiring chorus,
the which desire, of course, was not a
bit like Theodorus.
But, howsoever, when he died the
month that loves to grill US was being
written far and wide the season of Sex
titus. They wanted to commemorate
the hot time he presented the nation
with, at any rate, so Augustus was in
vented.

Sycamore Hill,

OF August it may first be said, it!
name is from Augustus, whom mer
have likened unto Ted, perhaps with
out injustice. He made the world &c
round about as many times a minute
and the news was always dull without
the great Augustus in it.
He had his Ananias club for liars
and for fakirs, and he loved to sail his
little tub among the Roman breakers
He counted peace sort of plague,
and never did pursue it, but let it rally
at The Hague, and you couldn't beat
him to it.

HIS ARM BROKEN.

Ex-CongreSsman Alexander Stewart
met with an accident last Friday
which will disable him for some time.
On the morning of that day number
of the officials of the C. NJ. & St. P.
Ry. Co., came to the city on a special
train to look after the interests of
their road and to spend time viewing
our city. Mr.. Stewart was among
those Who gave their time to entertain
ing the visitors. They went to Roths-
childs to see the mammoth dam and
buildings in course of erection by the
Marathon Paper Mills company, and
walking about, Mr.. Stewart stepped
upon block which was rather wobbly
and the result was that he lost his
balance and fell backwards to the
ground, breaking his right arm Just
below the shoulder. He was brought
to his home in this city and the
fracture reduced. At present writing
his condition is very favorable and,
no doubt, he will recover rapidly, not
withstanding the fact that he is over
so years of age.

THE outlook for democratic success
daily becomes brighter. With The
call for state convention of the con-
sentative republicans comes the an
nouncement that the LaFollette wing
OF the party, too, will have conyen-
tion of their own. This is an augury
of the harmony to prevail among the
brethren Of the g. o. p. during the
fall campaign: brass knuckles, bowie
knives and tomahawks win continue
as fall styles little longer, With
few other special novelties thrown in
