CATARRH SUFFERERS Good ThlHg to Know. It you now own a Hyomel hard rubber Inhaler, Chas. Strang wants you to know that ho will sell you a bottle of HYOMEI for only 50 cents. Remember this, all who suffer with catarrh a bottle of HYOMEI (pro nounce It HIgh-o-mo) is put up In a -separate package and sold for 50 -cents, to accommodate the vast army -of people who already own a Hyomel 'Inhaler. Chas. Strang will sell it to you at that price and give you the opportu nity to begin at once to rid yourself of vile catarrh and the snuffling, hawking and spitting that go with It. Many people through years of neg lect have let catarrh get a strong hold upon them. Some of these peo ple unreasonably think that one bot- tlo of HYOMEI ought to cure them. ZNo matter how chronic your ca "'tarrhal troubles, HYOMEI Is guaran teed by Chas. Strang to cure them If you give It half a chance. Just breathe It, that's all, and its healing, soothing, antiseptic, properties will ;mako you feel better in a day. If you own an Inhaler get a 50 cent bottle of HYOMEI today. If you do not own a Hyomel inhaler, ask for a $1.00 outfit, which includes Inhaler. ANTI-PROHIBITION PASTOR TO SPEAK IX MEDFORD 'Rev. Tr. Wm. A.

MAIL TREB1 UON,J.iUUi)AY OCTOBER 21, 19.10. THE OREGONIAN GROWING LITTLE. H WING- searched long and carefully the record of Oswald "West without having found a single flaw, the Oregonian and its feeble echoes are striving to make a campaign scandal out of the fact that Mr. West col lected mileage money to which he was entitled from the matter NO- ,rAi'iiniiwitf in?l liiiii no hmIiiiiol' iw? fni'iirwl nwi1 Jill Mill: I Office all Sv" Vl1""1 "M lm "' o n " ii.iiv.oo, unit minim vr . v v .... , his legitimate expenses to the state as a refund of his sal ary, because he considered it belonged to the state, of which he was an cmnlove. The action was unusual. Mr. West could have kept the j money. But his puritanical idea of duty would not permit him to, and now these assembly organs are censuring him because he was conscientious enough to return it to his employer. xV candidate with these commendable strict ideals is a rarity in politics, and no wonder the pie-counter politicians cannot understand it. If this is graft, give us more of it. This campaign is demonstrating how littlo a big paper like the Oregonian can become, how meanly it can distort and color trifles, how unfair and' contemptible it grows in its selfish effort to foist its own assqinbly candidate and system upon the ueople'. The Oregonian has all the meanness, spite and unfair ness it ever had, but it is littler: the old ability is lacking the master pen is missing. l ALL THE TRAFFIC WILL BEAR. M TT WAS a pathetic plea that Attorney W. D. Feutoii made for the poor old Southern Pacific at the depot dedica tion ceremonies. Despite the utmost economy, the rail road is still some six or eight millions "in the red." Yet the outlook is not altogether black; this aurora borealis of hope exists if railroad rates are let alone, and pres ent prosperous conditions continue, and the development of the state proceeds, in some eight or ten years this an cient deficit will be wiped out. So .eloquent was the speak er that one almost felt called upon to pass the hat to keep the poverty-stricken Harriman system from the poorhouse. Of course, records show that the Southern Pacific charges the highest tariffs and pays the biggest dividends of any system in the country. Its common stock, which is all water, is worth, in the present depreciated market, only 120. Its entire line has been rebuilt and modernized out of the earnings, leaving in addition enough for fat divi dends. It holds, bottled up, millions of acres of land, in cluding vast forests, valuable mining prospects, fertile valleys, farms and fruit land, which it refuses 'to sell or develop on any terms, despite the agreement under which the grant was received from the government for develop ment and colonization purposes. The sale of these lands would more than take the railroad out of the red, but they are "for future generations," as the late Mr. Harriman once said, and if the debt Avas wiped out there would be no excuse for exorbitant tariffs. Medford appreciates her new depot very much, and is glad that the Southern Pacific made a virtue out of a ne cessity and built it. xUl too frequently public service cor porations show so little consideration for their patrons, pack them in old cars like sardines and let them stand for horn's, in mere sheds, called by custom, depots. So when a railroad supplies a long felt want, even though it is for its own interest, the occasion calls for a public cel ebration. It is hard to criticise the Southern Pacific. The offi cials are all so obliging and courteous. Surely no railroad ever had a finer set of officials than the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, none more anxious to please, more willing to accommodate. Yet their authority is limited. Thev onlr govern the surface. Masters of Wall street are the real rulers, and Wall street only thinks of dividends, only or increased profits to push the sale or inflated securities. Wall street has ever followed the late Collis P. Hunt ington's policy of charging "all the traffic will bear," of increasing tariffs where possible, of building branch lanes only when forced to, of contesting in courts every reduc tion ordered, no matter how just and reasonable. Hence we have the Southern Pacific, boasting of its friendship for southern Oregon, demonstrating this friendship by en joining in the federal courts the order of the state railroad commission written by Oswald West, ordering a very rea sonable reduction and more equitable schedule of freight rates in southern Oregon, the principal thing needed to develop this section. There is no justice in forcing the people of southern Oregon to pay higher rates than the people of eastern Oregon pay, than the people of Washington or other sec tions pay for the same service. Yet that is what we have had to pay, and what the railroad is trying to force us to continue to pay. The excess profits in Medford alone have paid for man' a depot. At best the Southern Pacific can but delay the en forcement of the rate revision ordered. Through techni calities, the railroad may secure respite for some months and continue its extortionate prices, but not for long. The legal phases of the matter were determined by the suit over the reductions ordered on the O. R. & N. by the state commission. These were contested in the highest courts with the result that the railroad commission was fully sus tained and the reduced tariffs placed in effect. It will be the same with the reductions ordered on the Southern Pa cific. Southern Pacific attorneys claim that the cut in rates proposed Avill cause them a loss of $300,000 a year. They declare that the Southern Pacific is not making any money and never has made any. They assert, that the enforcement of the reduced tariffs will be equivalent to confiscation, and question the validity of the act creating the railroad commission. All of which is clap-trap, foil no city in the land is pay ing higher rates than Medford rates that are inequitable and unjust. The railroad is entitled to a square deal but so are the people; and the people of southern Oregon are not get ting it under the present freight rates.
