The Committee of Union and S Progress has made an important de rision which , the friends of Turkey broad Trill heartily welcome. At the general, meeting, held" In Salonika. It waa -resolved that the organization hall cease for the future to be a -cret society. It will be directed hence forth by a responsible executive, and the names of some of the members t j this body have been made public. The difficulty of reconciling the free ! working" of a constitutional system of 'government with the continued, exist ence of an all-powerful -and irrespon sible association which - asserted the right of lie posing Its views Tipon the ministry and the legislative aiike. has 'always impressed people abroad. Turkey Onra Mictl to Committee.. Turkey owes' everything to the eom 'mlttee. and the -service, whtch If has done entitles It to claim her confidence In the sagacity a well-as the patriot ism of its policy. The members have an intimate knowledge "of her. internal situation to which no . foreigner can pretend. "and the chlefa doubtless look anxiouslv forward- to' the day when the Institutions, which they have revived and insplwd with a vigorous life, will be able to - stand -Tlone. When hat day has foms lt wiH.be for them" and not for foreign . observers. however well informed, to say: bet every step which they may . think" it prudent to take that shows they believe the. time to be-drawing nearer when the Min istry and the Parliament can walk alone will strengthen the confidence of their friends abroad in the- consolida tion of the-onstiUitional jrcgime All information goes to show that the confidence which their action In dicate Is justified hy the spirit with which the constitutional government Is addressing itself tci the task of reform. Honest and capable management of the finances uc!l aa -Djavid Bey seems de termined, to secure is,- of course., the first essential of good -government: So long 'as of f lc1a!: are compelled to re port to out Un. in order -to live. there I is not miwh fhance of reform in any I branch-of the administration.

But hardly " less ' Important .-for the welfare of Turkey than too Ministry-of Finance Is that of the Interior, which controls the vast j machine of internal administration throughout the empire, lis local -representatives..' the Valis. Mutessarifs and Katmakams, are not only responsible for the maintenance of order and security in the districts committed to their charge; they con stitute the points of contact between the government and', the population, and it As the character of that contact which determines whether the Influ ence' of the government, on the daily life of the people shall be for good or for evil. Few responsibilities can be greater "than that .of the minister whose business It- Is . to choose the right men. to give them the right in structions, and to see that they carry them out. -- The work of reorganizing the sys tem ad the' personnel of local govern ment is bi.irnd to he both long and dif ficult. Happily,, in Talbaat Bey the Turks seem to have found the right man to ' undertake the task. He has shown the spirit'in which he is minded to conduct the affairs of his ministry hif- a circular which he addressed a rHp!P of weeks ago to the local au thorities. As evidence of the greater respect and confidence now enjoyed hy the Turkish government.'- he cites the recognition by the Austro - Hun garian government of the right of Turkey to aim at the suppression of the special privileges (capitulations) accorded to foreigners. In tl.e same spirit the Russian Am- - nassador has recently Instructed the Russian Consuls in Turkey to let their conduct be guided by the friendly feeling which the powers entertain for Constitutional .Turkey, to remember that the privileges granted to foreign ers by. the. capitulations are fated to disappear, and not to encourage any abusive interpretation of those "priv ileges by their nationals. ; Powers Win Respect. Talbaat Bey. in his circular, points out that this new attitude on the part of the powers places all Ottoman offi cials under .the obligation to preserve the friendship and respect of the civ ilized powers by their . conduct- He urges them, while refusing to admit of any exagserated interpretation of privileges under the capitulations, to show kindness to-ttre-foreign guests who. "trusting in our hospitality, have hroutrbt" 'their labor and their capital . into "r "country." . With the foreign Consuls he directs them to maintain" the best social relations, for the day is past when Turkish officials were forbidden to associate with them, and were expected to treat, them as enemies. When, differences arise they are to he settled, not-by dilatory correspond ence, but by direct personal exchange of 'views. The future abolition of the capitulations partly depends, he tells them, on tire way in which they carry out these Instructions.

THE Hill and Harriman lines Into Central Oregon continue building rapidly and pushing operations In the race for the heart of the great agricul tural empire in Oregon. Heavy machinery Is being taken Into the Deschutes country, where large forces of men are at work for both companies. This machinery often goes far in ad vance of the construction work and re quires heavy teaming to get It into the part of the country where grading, tun neling and other like operations are go ing on. : The Deschutes Canyon is. a great cleft through a table land, at places from 1000 to 2flo0 feet below the adjoining land. It continues for a length- of 140 miles, when the grade allows the railroads to come out of the canyon and radidate In any di rections desired on the great flat table land which is considered the greatest Ir rigation and dry-farming country In the world and which is but awaiting the touch of the railroads to suddenly develop into a flourishing and prosperous empire of great wealth and resource. The great canyon dips at a wonderful rate and it is stated by engineers who have examined the river that it Is capa ble of developing four times the power of Niagara B'alls. Already companies are being formed to harness this great water power, and. by a series of dams, built at Intervals along the river. It is possible for many Individual compani'l to get their share of the wealth to be created from the development of tremendous power. For this reason the original plans of the railroad companies have been changed somewhat, so as to put the tracks higher on the banks of the can yon and allow the river to be backed up without coming onto the right of way. One -of the valuable features of the great power-developing river la that i bas practically a normal flow the year around. This is because the river is fee by subterranean springs and seems to be Influenced rot at all by the great Sprln and Fall rains. This means that a even and dependable amount of pow may be developed in the Deschutes all the year around. The Deschutes River affords another wealth to -the farmer in the tablelands beyond the canyon, in that It will give a great amount of water for Irrigation pur poses. I'p to this time the farmers In thia section hava, with comparatively few exceptions, used the lands for graz ing purposes ior sneep ana uimm, wwms to the prohibitive rates for handling any produce they might raise.

STOOEWilTTRnVEL EXGLISH-SPEAKIXG UNIVERSI TIES PLAN EXCHANGE. and Great Britain, United States Colonies AVork on New Educational Plan. LONDON. Nov. 27. (Special.) The ar rangements that are being made to effect an International Interchange of students between the .various portions of the English-speaking world are making progress. At the next meeting of the central gen eral purposes committee of the movement It is probable that the Hon. W. P. Reeves, director of the London School of Eco nomics and late High Commissioner for New Zealand, and a. oihimcj, v. Christ's College, . Cambridge, and presi dent of the biological section of the British Association for 1S09, will be co opted. The new committee was set - on foot to carry out the details of organization In London without interfering with the general principles laid down in the gen eral and executive committees, which had difficulty In getting meetings owing to their members, including the vice-chan-cellora and other high authorities of uni versities, being widely scattered. Thanks largely to the practical support of the president of the movement (Lord Strath cona) a central bureau has been opened at Caxton House. Westminster. The organization will provide (I) a certain number of traveling scholarships to be conferred upon selected candidates of certain universities; (2) facilities for educational travel for students generally In a wide sense of the word, whether graduates or non-members of universi ties, whose interests and responsibilities fit them for the assistance of the bureau; (3) arrangements to extend the work out lined above In such direction as shall seem desirable to the committee by the administration of all such scholarships, fellowships or endowments on similar lines as may be entrusted to the con trolling body of the movement, and (4) the compilation of such publications as will be necessary and desirable in the An appeal for funds will shortly be made to provide scholarships. In the selection of candidates for the scholar ships preference will be given to men who have played their part in college life, whose character makes them popu lar, and who take an interest in the national, industrial, civic, social and in ternational problems which the tour is calculated to illustrate. They shall be midway through their course in order that the outlook they have gained may not be lost upon their contemporaries. They will be brought into as close con tact as possible with the actual condi tions of the countries to which they go. At first there are to be, if the financial support Is available, 28 of such scholar ships 14 for' members of universities in the United Kingdom, 10 for members of universities In the United States of A GREAT CURSE OF MODERN LIFE Ther la no more serious dancer to health than the presence of too much uric acid In the body: It is the duty of the kidneys to rid the system of uric poisons as fast as they accumulate. When the kidneys fall to do this work thoroughly, uric acid attacks begin, first in one part, then in another. The canae of these attacks is so like ly to bo mistaken, even by a doctor, that it is well to poBt yourself on the subject. If uric acid troubles are recognized in the beginning. It Is easy to cure the weakened kidneys with Doan'g Kidney Pills, and when the kid neys are working right again, the uric acid will be driven off as fast as it gathers in the urine. , It is dangerous to neglect sick kid neys. It leaves the uric acid free to attack and damage every organ of the body. The blood gets so thirk with waste matter that it moves slowly, the heart beats queerly, the veins and ar teries harden; uric acid crystals -are deposited in muscles and joints, and are likely to form into sediment, gravel, and stones in the kidneys and bladder; dropsy swellings appear and the gradual tendency is towards Brlghfs disease. Uric-Acid Causes Dangerous, Torturing Troubles When the Kidneys Are Sick. Every Picture Tells A Story."1 The pains from uric acid attacks are characteristic: backache, sciatica, muscular or articular rheumatism, neu xalgla, lumbago, pains through the hips and groin, headache and nervous disorders. ' When sediment appears In the urine and you begin to feel odd twinges of pain, the kidneys are not doing their duty and' treatment with Doan's Kidney Pills should be.begun at once. What this remedy has done for others it will do for you. E tr V 1tYoar! PORTLAND PROOF. J.

BUY BEEF FROM AUSTRALIA London Butchers Make Sujcessful Experiment in Importing. LONDON. Nov. 27. (Special.) The first consignment of chilled , beef to reach this country from Australia arrived In London by -the steamship Marathon last Tuesday. It was on the markets early the next morning; much of it had been eaten by evening, and by Saturday night the whole consignment had been dis posed bf. The enterprise, which will have a considerable bearing on the problem of the meat supply of this country, is due to Weddel & Co., meat importers of West Smithfleld. who decided on experi menting with a comparatively small quantiiy of chilled beef as distinct from frozen beef, and under their directions John Cooke & Co., of Queensland, pre pared 1330 quarters of beef for shipment to this country. The meat weighed about. 100 tons, and Its value was roughly $25,000. "It was only an experimental scheme." Mr. Weddel explained, "but it has been so successful that we shall have no hesitation in carrying it still further."
