FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 11103.
The cry of the century Is ,
"Westward' Westward!" The
New York farmer turns his face ,
1 to the sunset, ami thinks he has 1
1 attained the great Ideal by settl-
lug In Illinois! The farmer from
, Illinois hears the Pacific call- 1
lng. and scales the snowy ranges '
' in response to the unlversay !
I cry. Westward is the creed of
the coming generation. It means 1
the completion of the Pacific
1 Coast empire. A. L. Craig.
THE MERGER DISSOLVED.
Yesterday the United States dis
trict court at St. Paul rendered a
decision In favor of the people, and
practically dissolved Jim Hill's merger.
The court declared the merger to
le In lestralnt of free and open
traffic. It branded the wily scheme
as a gigantic "corner" in the carry
ing facilities of the territory in which
it operated. It said that the ultimate
aim of all uucli combines was to op
press the people through forcing un
just rates upon them and tnerefore.
the government must draw a line on
Its powers.
The decision Is a triumph for Gov
ernor Van Sant, of Minnesota, who
inaugurated the movement against
the merger. It is a triumph for the
people of the Northwest, who are at
the mercy of the lines comprising the
Northern Securities Company.
No wonder Jim Hill has loosened
up on the people of Washington,
somewhat within the past two weeks.
No wonder his agents have announc
ed that the freight concessions de
manded by the people will be nuyle,
gradually, by mutual agreement.
He felt the quiver of the coming
storm. His finger has been upon the
pulse of the country. He foresaw the
verdict of this court and in order to
pacify the patrons of his systems, he
hurries to announce that his road will
quit fighting the people of Washing
ton through the legislature, and tells
them that he will deal with tnem di
rectly. While the people have the merger
on the rack, they should be as merci
less with it as it would be with them.
While the court's decision has check
ed the tendency, temporarily, no quar
ter should be given, hut every unjust
league formed for the purpose of
forcing up rates, should he throttled
and nipped In the bud.
owns the stock and doubles its value
by finishing It for the market and It
yields a profit and furnishes a mnr
kot to the man who grows alfalfa,
cats, barley or corn for feed.
Oregon must turn her attention to
these mattms The men who are
buying unfinished stock to be sent
back to us as food products, are reap
ing profits that belong to Oregon.

Is selling at ".3 cents per poundthe

I commissioner Is being rushed into
' the state the state above all others,
I which should be shipping out the
richest farm and dairy butter that
ever reached Alaska or the Orient.
Eastern Oregon farmers buy Ne
braska bacon, and yet in their 1.00O
acre wheat fields, enough feed goes
to waste to supply the state v, Ith ba
con and lard each year. Oregon must
arise to the occasion. The opportu
nity for which the pioneers have
waited so long. Is knocking at the
door. ' -
There Is trouble already brewing
In the ranks of the new Lewis and
Clark Woman's clubs, now being or
ganized in Western Oregon. It seems
that the Oregon Federation of Wo
men's Clubs was Ignored In the mat
ter of beginning work In the Interest
of the fair. The clubs already or
ganized have shown wonderful activ
ity during the past two years. They
have secured legislation on some of
the most Important subjects before
the legislature, and stood ready to
enter the harness of Lewis and Clark
Fair work with the same worthy zeal.
They were the natural custodians of
this work, being thoroughly organized
and comprising In their membership
the most active women in Oregon in
both public ami private life. Without
consulting them, the new club move
ment was started. Without their
consent, many of their names were
published in the list of membership
In the new club, and the work that
justly belonged to the old organized
bodies, was transferred to an untried
organization. There Is room for wo
men's clubs everywhere. As long as
an unorganized town or Immlet re
mains in Oregon, there is work to do.
but why not Insure the success of
woman's work for the fair by
strengthening the clubs nlready or
ganized. Instead of dividing forces by
launching new ones?
OPPORTUNITIES NEGLECTED.
Every close observer who travels
over Oregon notices the urgent need
for more industries. Every man who
looks into the commercial records of
the state, and the trade movements,
finds that the very commodities which
under normal development of resour
ces, should he exported, are being
Imported.
Instead of finishing our product for
the market, we buy finished product
from those who 'purchased our raw
material. Instead of shipping beef,
pork, lard, butter and other farm
and range products to the markets,
all around us, we sell our stock large
ly as feeders, and buy It hack from
the purchaser at great profits to him,
as food.
And this in a state producing
matchless alfalla, wheat and corn.
All this in a stnte unsurpassed for its
range resources and feeding facili
ties. Last year the markuts of Portland
and tho Sound Imported 10,000 head
of fat cattle, besides using overy
available hoof fed In Oregon.
In the same period of twelve
months, forty carloads, or 1C.000 cases
of condensed milk wore shipped into
Portland for local consumption,
About fifteen carloads of Nebraska
process butter, some of which was
condemned by the food commissioner
were shipped in and laid, cottolene
and other vegetnble products have
been purchased by the carload lot.
The Xeedors that uro shipping out
of Orugon should ho kept hero and
fed. It yields a double profit to do
