Ing 6teady employment to many hun- rapid service between Portland and scores of thriving communities in western Oregon, all entailing an out jlay of between $18,000,000 and $20, 1 000,000 In the next two years, are leading features of one of the great est railroad, development projects ever undertaken in the Pacific north west. They are all embraced In the plans of the Southern Pacific for the territory immediately tributary to Portland. - ' Involved In the great network of interurban trunk lines and feeders that will form the subsidiary system of the Southern Pacific and which have been acquired by the purchase are: The Portland, Eugene & East ern and other Welch properties, the Salem, Fulls City & Western, known as the Gerlinger road, and the Canbv Molalla road. These purchases to gether with the changing of the mo tive power of the Fourth street lines radiating out of. Portland, Salem, Eugene, Albany, Corvallis and 11c Minnville represent a cost of close to $10,000,000, while the completion of the line from Eugene to Coos Hay, now under way, and the completion of the Klamath Falls-Natron cut-off will require almost as much more. In the first group of improvements which are exclusively electrical in character there should be added the cost of the proposed terminals in Portland, the steel bridge across the Willamette and some distance above Oswego and the building of a four track line between Oskego and Au rora to connect the present Southern Pacific main line with the West Side line. 1 ' I COLONEL TO FIGHT TO END. "They Know Mo wd 1 Know Thcni," Uo IfcH-IarcH Defiantly. Oyster Hay, N. Y. Colonel Roose velt indicated recently the issue upon which ho U to make his campaign for tbe presidency. He purposes to base his appeal upon the assertion that what he has termed the "big sinister influences" have determined to elim inate htm from public life because lie is the one man whom they really fear. To accomplish this purpose, he believes, they are willing to take up any man whom they think can win the presidency over him. Having de feated him at the Chicago conven tion, he says, they hope to control the democratic convention to this same end. "They know me and I know them," lie Kaid. "it is anything to bent mo. I am lighting a lone hand and 1 am Suing to fight It out to the end." The ex-president made this leniark after a long conference with William A. I'redergast, controller of the city of New York. Mr. Prendergast cnnie to Oyster Hay to induce Colonel Roosevelt to say definitely that un der no circumstanced would he withdraw- from th() fight. Regarding his positoin in this respect, Colonel Roosevelt said: "In the statement which I made in Chicago on Monday, I said I would stay in the fight to the end. Since then I have received hundreds of let ters and telegrams urging nie to go on with it, and not one of them sug gested that I get out of It. In every rase my reply is Just what I said in Chicago." The controller said the reason he was desirous of making it clear that Colonel Roosevelt would make the fight was that "the interests" which defeated him at Chicago would do anything in their power to keep him out of tht While House, and for that purpose would gladly accept any oth er "progressive." Controller I'redergast said that he lias pointed out to Colonel Roosevelt inai tne overshadowing issue was "whether tu nomination for the presidency can be stolen and the peo ple not given an opportunity to pass judgment on the theft. "The object for which this fraud -was perpetrated, he said, "was the defeat of Mr. Roosevelt, not the nonii nation of anybody else. This conven tion's piracy will be successful if any other man is elected to the presidency." HOW TO RIPEN' TOMATOES, Artificial Pollcnutioii is Sometimes Found Necessary. Corvallis, Ore. "A great deal of trouble has been experienced in the past in the ripening of the tomato crop," said Prof. A. G. D. Bouquet, vegetable garden expert of the ). A. C, recently. "One of the greatest drawbacks has been in the dropping or blossoms in the early summer, with a resultant meagre setting of fruit. Instead, therefore, of having ripe tomatoes the last of July and middle of August, many vines do not begin to set fruit early enough to permit, ripening before the fall. As a result there is much loss either by the cracking of the fruit by rains, or t rested vines. "The make-up of the tomato flow er Is such as to make it necessary to often pollenate the blossoms arli- ticially. The trouble of pool1 setting of fruits is nothing more or less than noii-fertiliation of the female organs of the flower. If this organ is not ! properly pollenated, the flower will i tall, breaking off at the first ioint below. "Tomato blossoms remain open several days, and pollenation can be aided greatly by the gardener. On blight, sunny days the pollen In the flower will scatter readily If the vine is shaken or tapped with a stick or lead pencil. A high temperature, such as that between 10 and 2 o'clock, will cause the pollen to scat ter much more freely and be caught by tlis pistil, the female organ. I would suggest that some plants be kept as checks ami .not shaken, to compare results. "If pruning or staking of the vines is desired, the plants should be put closer together in the row, two and a half or three feet. They should be pruned to a single stem by removing all the laterals at the axils of the leaves. They should bo supported with a stake and cut off when six feet high. Otherwise they should be planted four feet apart in the garden or field." Women Clerks Forbidden. Women will not be permitted to work as clerks or in any other capac ity In saloons, cigar stands at saloon entrances, or in pool rooms or other places of similar character in Port land, as the city council has passed an ordinance forbidding it. The ordinance is the result of re ports made to the mayor and council by the department of public safety for women. Mrs. Baldwin, the su perintendent, and her staff had told the members of the council of the evil influence of these places on women and young girls. The outlook for a good prune crop is much brighter now than it was a few weeks ago. Star Laundry and French Dry Cleaning Company. Phone 64. Hydroplane Sets Mark. Rochester, N. Y.

I am equally confideut that the meas ure will sweep the ulate, for It met with hearty approval In every section where I explained it." Salem, Ore. Advices have been received here that circulators who have been engaged In circulating a bill to make the state printer flat salary bill effective next year, have succeeded In obtaining euough signa tures and that the petition will be filed In time to Insure the title of the bill being placed on the ballot. Circulators of petitions asking for the initiation of a bill to abolish cap ital punishment are bending every ef fort, according to reports received here, to secure enough signatures for petitions for this measure, and they are now sanguine of success. So difficult has been the work of ob taining signatures for this measure, it is declared, that It has become necessary to put paid circulators in the field. The fate of the Blue Sky law, ac cording to reports received here, is still iu the balance. Corporation Clerk Babcock has left here to take the subject up with the commercial bodies of Portland, and it is believed that by hard labor possibly enough signatures may be obtained to Initi ate the measure.
