FIRST NATIONAL BANK
SENSE AND NONSENSE.

Il almost reaey to pass Law
to make the vaccination of hogs
compulsory to get rid Of the chol'
era" the Governor declared, and
said that he would recommend to
the next legislature the manufac.
ture of serum and distribution
among the farmers.
The above passage. quoted from
the Meridian Stars report of Gov
ernor Bilbols speech at that point,
is sensible. The enactment oi
compulsory tick eradication by the
state has been approved by all.
The eradication or prevention OF
hog cholerr would equally promote
and mark the policy of progressive
farming.
This sensible suggestion is coun-
terbalanced by the following non
SenSfcal one.
The Governor said that the ne,
profit over all expenses from the
state penitentiary last year was
$655. 900; this year it would be
about 81 900. 900 and he intended
recommending to the legislature
the purchase Of $4,000 additional
acres of delta land to be cultivated
by the convicts. which he believed
would bring net revenue OF
| S., 500, 600, thereby reducing the
taxes in the state.
With steady and marked fall.
ing off in the past several years oi
convict population-according tc
the official reports decline OF
over five hundred below the record
figure being shown by the Official
report-the question occurs where
would the thousand or more con
victs for the cultivation of almos,
double the land now required come
from? The Herald looks upon
the falling of in convicts ard con-
victions as greater gain, in its
significance, than the barrier i,
raises in the way Of the million
more of revenue the Governor vi
sious.-VicksburR Herald.

THE POSSIBLE NAVAL FIGHT.

These days when the main British feet that keeping
watch the entrance to the habor where the main German
feet lying in wait should be the alert day and night The
prediction that Germany will all her forces in
grand attempt to close the and that her fleet will
and give Britains battle, is most probable
If this happens it will be the battle Of the On Ger
manys part will be the test Of whether Great Britain to
be longer safe behind walls of steel Since the great Armada
shattered and Dispersed England has depended for safety
upon her navy Whether that is safe dependence lies at least
in part trial with the German navy; and if that test is
sprung the result will be the concernment OF the whole world
The men in command, even the who the guns in
those great fleets fully comprehend what will be at stake it that
battle joined So important is the outcome that Germany
will make the trial last resort Ii it comes it
be expected that the blue jackets of Great Britain will
fight before and when the battle Trafalgar
will look like skirmsh by comparison.
If comes Nelson's signal England expects every man
to do his duty will not be necessary for every man OF the
English fleet will realize that is to be fight not only for life
but possibly for the life and certainty for the prestige Of the

We observe without the least feeling of alarm for the vic

has done so in the past yet the marks of it's dspeasur

shine Quite generally they have been elevated in politics

So why should Forbes worry? Together with Stanfeld

Mr. Forbes has vision that extends beyond his district
He accomplished at Salem much for the good of all Oregon and
much in behalf Of that portion of the state which he directly
represents He devoted his attention to constructive policies
Mr. Forbes consists in the fact that he worked hard
his constituents and the whole state and not at all to enhance
the influence of the Portland Journal

oREGON-THE PEER OF STATES.

Governor James Withycombe pays high tribute to the
State of Oregon in the February OF the Oregon Country
when he says Through the diversity of its agricultural resour
the excellence of its products and the uniform volume OF
production attained Oregon the peer OF any state the
Union'
During the year the value OF Oregon farm products
was $50000O00 The enormty of these figures, Governor
Withycombe points out indicates plainly the great possible
wealth which this country ultimately may develop The State
whole emnenty adapted agriculture which IS in fact
Withycombe is of the opinion that when the agricultural
of the State fully developed the Willamette Val
ley alone will be producing 100000 annually.
But this $150000O00 which Governor Withycombe writes
about is only the value of farm production He nothing
Of mineral and the income from the lumber industry
The mines and the timber two equally important factors
which will have hand in Oregons future development Then
he said nothing of manufacturing Oregon fast developing
as State for manufactures Great mills sprngng up over
the State the larger cities and shpbuing especially is tax
ing on large proportions
The city of Portland is rated the second city in the Unit

when consideration taken of the fact that the East fairly

advantage in having almost unlimited supply OF the
eria right at hand whereas the Eastern supply rapidly d
