His Winning Trick. He' couldn't talk a little bit of music or on art, When men broached high-browed topics you could see the sweat beads start, Bui boforc thoy had him silenced aud in storage for tho night, Ho would flash a roll of money and of qourso they put him right. Ho was crude and most unlettered, and his grammar was a sin, But he knew tho little secret of suc cessful butting in; He could change a cold demeanor and could break down stars of pride. When he flashed his roll of money with tho yellowback outside. Twas his one trick, and it served him,whoro all other tricks might fail, It carried him through tho breakers and through many icy gale; It won for him position that could never bo denied, His mighty roll of money with the yellowback outside.

It, I nrimaries in California, where for the first time in fifty years tho Southern Pacific unhorsed by both parties. Commenting on the result,, the Sacramento Bee says: Full of imperfections and studded with inconsisten cies and even with injustices, tho direct primary law has showed that on tho whole and in the main it is a good thing for tho people. Under the old convention plan, with delegates con trolled by "William P. Herriu, such an insurgout as Hiram "W. Johnson could never have been put to the front as tho gubernatorial banner-bearer of the republican party. That result alone is victory sufficient in the interest of reform aud good government to justify the retention, the reformation, tho improvement of this law. No one acquainted with the history of direct legisla tion in California, and familiar with the direct primary law as it stands upon tho books, can deny that machine legislators such as Leavitt to emasculate this law, to cripple it, to render it unpopu lar, to transform it into an of the people, and make the the hands of the Herrinites. None with any knowledge upon this subject mil at tempt to gainsay that much of this direct primary law calls for improvement, and that considerable ot it needs reformation. That which should be improved is the result of mis taken judirincnt upon the part of its friends, coupled with wilful intent to injure by its be reformed is the creation of the legislative foes of good government who aimed to rrainc a law that would prove so obnoxious tho people would repudiate it. The victory of Hiram "W. Johuson shows the potentiali ties for good in this direct primary law. It will become the duty of the legislature to extend and enlarge those potentialities, to weed the law of its evils, and to remove from it its Herrin-'Wolfe-Leavitt ex cresences. Oregon's primary law is much ahead of that of Califor nia. Are the people of Oregon going to repudiate it by electing men opposed to it? and assembly candidates are opposed to it. MEDFORD, THE AUTO CITY. MiiiUMUxiu nas approximately uu auiuuiuunus xui u nomilation of between 9000 and 10,000. Of these --.-v-.-T-v-r-x 150 are new machines. Medford leads all places in the world in the number of autos in proportion to its inhabitants, one for every 25 men, women and children. Medford, at the conclusion of existing contracts, will have a larger area of hard-surfaced streets than any city of its population in the United States, approximately 20 miles of bitulithic and asphalt paved streets. This will enable the continued use of motor cars throughout the year. Over one million dollars is invested in automobiles by citizens of Medford. Probably a hundred thousand dollars a year is spent operating and maintaining them all of which bears witness to the prosperity of this section. There are in daily use in the United States at present approximately 350,000 automobiles. The 1910 production may be placed at 200,000 cars, with an approximate value of $250,000,000. Large as these figures are, they are exceeded by the annual expenditure for horse-drawn vehicles. Reliable authorities estimate that there are over 7,000,000 of these vehicles used daily in the United States, while the total number of horses and colts in the country exceeds 21,000, 000 besides 3,000,000 mules. American manufacturers produce yearly about 1,750,000 vehicles, of which 940,000 are passenger conveyances, with an estimated value of $110,000,000. In addition there is a yearly expenditure of $125,000, 000 for horses and $52,000,000 for harness and wagons, the average upkeep of which is Go cents a day, compared with the average upkeep of an automobile of 30 cents a day.

Ocean to Occnn. It was tho ambition of Gould to control an ocean-tc-ocean railroad line under olio ownership and man agement, and while complications growing out of the late financial cri sis caused some compromises, and deferred tho realization of that pro ject, tho completion of tho Wcstorn Pacific Is another step in the carrying out ot this great plan. It means that another vast system of railroads is reaching out for tho profitable Pa cific coast business, and Is iu readi ness to participate In tho tremondotiH development of Pacific commorcc, which Is certain to come with tho completion of tke Panama canal, and tho Increase ot population ot tho western emplro beyond tho continen tal divide.
