The announcement that the county court has granted a fran chise to a railroad corporation along the public highway from Eola to Balem caused some sur prise among the busy farmers of Polk county, who have not had time to keep themselves posted in the matter. Not that the pub lie generally objects to a rail road along the route proposed or find fault with the granting of the franchise, so far as it is understood, but there is criti cism of the court for making so important an order without giv ing the subject thorough pub licity. Secrecy is the hiding place of all forms of jobbery. Publicity is the greatest safe guard to the people's interest and a barricade against official delinquency. It is not the pur pose of this paper to state at this time, that the Salem, Falls City & Western Railway com pany should be denied the fran chise it has been granted. The West Side Enterprise goes on record as favoring the road. But it does not favor the grant ing of a franchise, affecting the public highways of the county, to the Salem, Falls City & West ern or any other corporation until the public has been duly apprized and given time to dis cuss the matter. Along the route of the proposed road, the public, it seems, were notified of the purpose of the road and it is a significant fact that a gener ously signed protest against in terference with the public high way was promptly filed by them. These people a3 well as every one who travels that thorough fare, certainly have rights that ought to be respected. Further more, this franchise practically closes up the only pass from Salem to Eola. With this pass secured, the key to a railroad south from Salem is hold. It is not the purpose to charge the Salem, Falls City & Western with bad faith nor the county with giving away the people's rights or property. The court made bold to act in the matter, and willingly shouldering bo grave a responsibility, it is to be presumed that the traveling public is protected and that the county gets fair compensation for its franchise. It is pre sumed that the corporation has not slipped up on the blind side of the court and secured a val uable pass without being bound up to actually build a road with in a specified time. SENATOlt LA FOLL12TTE. The country is watching the career of Robert M. Lafollette, the junior senator from Wiscon sin, with interest. Lafollette is able, conscientious, fearless. Though young in the senate he has forced recognition. Though senatorial tradition sought to si lence his maiden efforts it only unstopped the ears of the great American people and gave uni versal interest in his utterances. law regulating railway trathc A Portland undertaking firm lh United Ftatea the seats a Ivrrtir-ea rmln-e.l prices for fu- now temporarily vacant will be nsrals after Agt 15.

Aldrich, For aker, Fry and mall fry sen ator wanted a bill that would solace the outcry for relief with out disturbing the railroad. Every move of the Aldrich lead ership w as to render the pend ing measure less obnoxious to corporate wealth. Every move of Lafollette wag to make the measure more helpful to the people. When Lafollette arose to his feet it w as a signal for the trust senators to block or bolt, fight or My. When Lafollette struck a telling blow the packed gallery loudly approved and the gavel was invoked to quell the ap plause. Congress has now adjourned and Lafollette is telling the peo ple of the country all about bis experience in trying to plead their cause in the deteriorating National Millionaires' Club. . i. ...mi i- T meanest nature. lue people win umeu w Le.n, to like your destiny lette. While he fights in the open the standpatters will skulk and scheme. Neither is LaFollette a dema gogue. He is just an honest man "begging of vice a chance to do it good in these fat and pursy times." Even the prune crop is at a good price. If you can't be a good booster get a substitute. And then there was more talk of railroad building.

The Hunt faction killed four of the Martin faction in Ten nessee the other day. Still there are 60 of the Martins yet alive. The Ranier Register certainly "speaks out in meeting" in scor ing the riff-raff and scum of the earth, which it claims infests that fair burg. It's nip and tuck with Ken tucky and Tennessee to see which will have the most scalps hanging to belts when the feud wars are finished. Swiftwater Bill Gates is ask ing for a divorce from his fourth wife. It's dollars to doughnuts if he gets the divorce he'll be married again in a few weeks. Gaekwar, Majarajah of JBaroda, wherever that may be, who has just finished a tour of this coun try, says the American women are not pretty. He's an unmiti gated liar. Dreyfus Vindicated. Many years ago Zola and other ad herents of the persecuted French army officer Dreyfus predicted that the judg ment of the court innrtlul which In 1809 found him guilty of treason to his flag would one day be reversed. The court recommended him to mercy, and he was immediately pardoned by the ex ecutive. Tor seven years he lived on under the taint of having been found guilty. Recently the whole of France wel comed the quashing of the verdict of the court martial. It has been shown that the evidence upon which he was condemned was forged, that witnesses perjured themselves nnd that testimo ny favoring the accused was sup pressed. Fortunately vindication does not come too late. Dreyfus lives to confront his fellow countrymen freed from the taint put upon him. True, his career has been blighted, but he Is the hero of one of the most remarka ble victories over national prejudice and racial fury the world has ever witnessed. Metal Industry, referring to the use of aluminium cables, says that the Ni agara, Lockport and Ontario Power company has planned to transmit elec tric power with aluminium cables as far east from Niagara as Syracuse, N. Y., a distance of 100 miles, and is con sidering a transmission line as far west as Cleveland, O., a distance of 200 miles. The Niagara and Syracuse line Is partially finished. No current has been carried to New York city from Ni agara, and Metal Industry says thai to the best of Its knowledge and belief no corporation is at present planning to send Niagara electric power to New York, which would require a cable line of 400 miles. Yes, cold storage chickens will have to be dated like eggs, for the health commissioners say that the smartest housekeeper cannot distinguish off hand the poulterer's "fresh spring chicken just put on Ice" from an em balmed "broiler" of the crop of 1890. That farmer who neither drinks, smokes nor chews and swears not at all was wise to turn down tlie appoint ment as United States senator. It Is mighty uncomfortable to play a lone hand In a crowded place like Washington. New Zealand authorities announce that 64,000 women may get good bus bands provided they go there at once. Now, If the girls taketheir time about It presumably the 54,000 eligibles are to be annihilated. 3 01 03 03 05 01 CD 9 03 fj 01 THE BEAUTIFUL 1 THE FERTILE !

Two separate companies are now ready to begin the building of electric car lines from Portland into the valley, thus creating competition and the lowering of both passenger and freight rates, which will still further strengthen confidence and create a greater demand for rural property. Every town in the valley near the Willamette river will eventually be come a thriving manufacturing center, as all the essentials are here the raw material and adequate transportation facilities.
