1t is suggested that where letters
are written to residents of other
states who are not members of con-
gress, that said communications con-
tain the facts set forth in the fore
going letter, and that the party to
whom the letter is addressed be re-
quested to communicate with his
congressman and senator immedi-
ately.

Hot Weather
ParcheS Pie Shafts

The warm weather is turning those
Ashlanders who take a little of the
stuff that cheers, from whiskey to
beer, according to the report of the
chief of police for the month of June.
Only sixty-four quarts of whiskey
came in by the express route as
against eighty-eight quarts in May.
Only one quart of brandy and two
quarts of wine came in Some Ash
lander with esthetic tastes, who has
been regularly shipping in two quarts
of gin prior to June, either has fore
gone his usual fizzes or else found
an irregular channel through which
to procure his gin. The beer ship
ments jumped over a hundred quarts
in June, going from 104 gallons in
May to 1875 gallons in the past month.
Students of the proposition hold
that the hot weather has less to do
with the decrease in the whiskey
shipments than has the condition Of
the Siskiyou Highway, which has put
Ashland within an hour and a half's
ride of Hit or Hornbrook. Travel
over the highway is said to average
over fifty cars a day, and half of
these are not bound for southern Cal
ifornia, if appearances are any indi-
cation.

Letter Writing

ing of these letters to senator's and
representatives and friends through
out the east and south" said Presi-
dent Colt of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce. THE only chance to
have the Sinnott bill adopted will be
through vigorous campaign, and
every citizen must do everything in
his power to have it backed up. |
believe that eastern senators and con-
grescmen will do the right thing by
Oregon when t-.y understand the
situation
1t is suggested that Oregon people
write the eastern newspapers, dailies
and weeklies, published in their old
home states, and by every means
that occur to them, agitate the adop-
tion of the Sinnot bill, which should
always be referred to by number
II. r. No. 1857.
1t is hoped that every reader Of
this paper, will, without further urg-
ing, appoint himself or herself COM
mittee to perfect an organization to
push forward this campaign, bearing
in mind that the improvement of one
part of the state helps the whole
state.
To BE Sent to Congressman.
My Dear Sir: Since becoming
resident of Oregon l have naturally
tried to become familiar with the
problems which confront the people
of this state and the development of
the state, and l am writing you at
this time feeling that your purpose
will be to give support to this meas
ure in congress which will give exact
justice to the people of Oregon.
A Chamberlain Ferris bill dispos-
ing of the 0regon-California land
grant provides that 40 per cent of
the revenue shall be turned over to
the reclamation service. We fear
that the reclamation officials will use
the larger part of these funds on
projects outside of the state of Ore
gon, therefore we ask for the support
of H. R. No. 1887 by Mr.. Sinnott,
which provides that all Of the 40 per
cent shall be used within the state
of Oregon.
We have 35,257,204 acres of non
taxed land in Oregon. The taxed
land consists of 25, 5,931,276 acres. A
large amount of the non-taxed land
is in the districts where thirty-two
reclamation projects have been sur
veyed and attempts made to reclaim
the land. If these could be COM
pleted they will provide homes for
more than $1,000 families and it
would be in the prosecuting of this
work that the 40 per cent of the rev.
enue referred to would be used.
Oregon has already contributed
more than $40. 900. 900 to the reclaim

alton funds of the United States,
while out of the $107, 100000 which
has been expended by the reclama-
ton service, only $3,500,O00 have
been expended on Oregon projects.
The balance of the money has gone
to other states, where we fear that
this land grant revenue will go un-
less we can have the support of dis
interested men like yourself to see
that justice is done this state.
The house committee which has
the Sinnott bill in charge is con-
trolled by the reclamationists of the
middle west, so l am told. There
fore, it will take strong fight to get
justice for this state.
| trust you will pardon my earnest
ness in presenting this matter, but it
is of great Importance and l feel that
you must know something of the stu
alton.
l hope that we shall receive your
earnest cooperation in the passage
of the Sinnott bill.
With best wishes, | beg to remain,

BONES EATS WHEN CITY
 SEARCHES FOR HIS PERSON

When a fellow will sit right down to a perfectly good table with all the eats that would come up to the dream of brobunilas world trOt- ter and calmly let the entire city search all night for him-send in- quiries all over the city to his friends as to his whereabouts and then never crack a smile when dis covered by his searchers. We claim that something Is wrong-the man either has an appetite a mile long or loves to place his number tens under a friends table so well chat He fcrgsls all about the existence os the outside world.
 Chas. Durkee, Bones room mate became alarmed last night over the non-ar .tarance of his room mate. l. was Bones turn to do the dishes and Durk was there on the job to notice the absence of his compan- ion. He waited and watted-but no Bones. The word was spread around and search instltuted. The firs- 70 enlist in the search was our congenial marshal. Frank Cook. Trained by years Of experience he soon picked up a clue and at the other end of the clue he found our jovial druggist enjoying one of A. c. BlancAard's good cigars, and feel Ing like a king after one of Mrs. Blanchard's warm meals had been slowed away In his anatomy. Bones, you lucky devil.

thoug.ts and the energies and the eonquering genius of the business men of America 10 the great field os th business world at large" These TWO assertions raise an issue. of fact-an issue which can be determined by an almost conclusive mathematical demonstration. We .rind that after an analysis of the balance ot trade which Is the chief factor in determining industrial conGaicn. that conditions are not qs is commonly thought by the great mass Of the people
 What ever balance of trade that the United states may claim at the present time was due solely to the European war and not to any political party. For 8 party to claim the benefits of commercial prosperity when it can be traced d., rectly 10 a cause such IS the fig ures O. the exporting and Import .rg department of the United statrs government show is not truly placn before the people the ac- compliments of tho party adminis- tration.
 The evidence obtained from ma thema.Ical tabuIation Of the ele- ments which make up the balance cf trade s not purely oircumstan- Itla!. It iy not left to the voter to reach an inference from very remote and disconnected bits Of
 evidence. The industrial and ftnan- ,ial facts contained therein are so closely and convfncingly connected with the Euroepan war as to leave no possible doubt i'm the mind of any unbiased searcher for truth fha' whatever prosperity we are enjoyIng must be attributed to the war ;n Europe.
 No American jury weighing evi- dence under the instructions from judge, would reject evidence as conclusive as the tabulated figures cf the department of commerce.

WELCOME GRAND TRUNK

We extend the long arm of fel- lowship to the Grand Trunk Pa cific an| give them hearty wei come ., Alaska and particularly to Skagway. The keen business judg- ment o9 this company Is apparent from thelr recent move in estab- Hsh!us a line of steamers plying to and from Alaskan ports.
 A company which is established in he various lines Of transporta- ton can do 8 world of good 10 a nev couRtry such as Alaska. We need all the help that can be giV- eu us hom any source which acts fer the better. The above com pany is carrying on an extensive ad- vertising campaign of the scenic wonders o6 the no-thland and wlll bring to our shores a goOdly uumOer Of tourists and we sin cerely hope and trust that later these tourists will become So i'm pressed with Alaska, its DOssibilt- ties and inevitable future in the Hfsirs Of the commercial world that they will soon claim allegiance to Alaska as a permanent place of abode.
 We notice that anWmber of the officials of the company have ar lived on the Prince George making the maiden thiU of that moving sea palace complete. The knowledge which they have gained on the trip will place them in a position to know the exact conditions and they will be able to inform pa irons o8 their line of the true con ditions in Alaska.
 Any pressure which these of ficials or men of Influence making the trip can bring to bear upon tHe law-making body of the United States which will bring about better conditions in the northland would be a boon to the people who have chosen to make this their home. We are now In the pto- neeriug stage Of our existence. de- velopment Is coming to the front. people are being attracted to our shores not only from a touring viewpoint but to make inwestiga- ticn and ascertain the feasibility of investing money in various lines of commercial enterprise.

THE PLATFORM

The p44LOEm dlOpISu py bAAS republican national convention in session at Chicago is a document of rUbus. Americanism. It should not only command the support Of every man who has accepted in the past the tenetS Of tho repuolt can party but Hf thousands Of others who have never hereto fore caS. a republican vote. This for the sound and sufficient req soa that there is absolute certain ty. disturbed by no doubt, bhat wht5 the republican party again gets con trUl of the machinery of the Ra- t'Cual government every one Of the platform pledges will be carried in tU effect literally and exactly as stgtrG.
 There is in this platform a guar antee that when the republican party is again restored to pow CT there will be protection of Am er!cau rights at home and abroad, by lend and by sea, without Quib- bling, evasious or procraStaation. That our rights as 'neutrals will be upheld against any nation seek ias 'c impair them. That this government will restore order and maintain peace in Mexico, and will give absolute protection to AmeT!- can life. liberty and property along the border and In Mexico as well The duties which we assumed to tEa Philippines will not be Waded, The country will be given not mere iy adequate but thorough and com plete national defense, ready for any emergency.
 There will be a restoration of protection to ever American indus trv needing 1t, with provision agahS- undue exactiOns by mono pLIies and trusts. The merchant marine will be built up through adequate laws, including hbera payments for carrying the mails, Those who are preparing to create a merchant shipping will be re leye" of any fear of facing the op position Of a government-Owned fleet. the losses in operation Of which are to be paid out to the federal treasury. There will be bu' one tribunal. instead of forty odd to regulate the transportation systems of the country, even should a constitutional amendment be nee essary to give the authority for this as probably it would.
 Labor Is promisd righteous laws, which a democratic congress, posing as friendly to labor, has failed en- tirely to act upon, although the bills have long been before it. WO- man suffrage is approved, although the right Of each state to Eettle the question for itself is naturally re cognized, for SO the constitution Of tha United States provides.
 Further, there is not single declaration in the republican plat form which does not harm' nize fully with the declarations of the progressive platform, framed the same day. There Is not the slight est issue drawn between the plat form declarations of the two partief They stand for ideutically the same principles.-P. I.
