(Kipling Vindicated) Ever sinco Iludyard Kipling tackled ' woman tooth and nail - 'With his rhyino about the female being deadlier than tho male, Thorp has been a peck of trouble down on 42nd street, AtiaJ1CrJain well-worn mansion where a bunch of follows cat. 'Twos a rlbon clork who started all tho trouble whon he read, With an air of satisfaction all tho words that Kipling said. "There's a poet," ho concluded, "who nln' t frightened at tho skirts "So he writes the truth rogardless if it stings or if it hurts." Then It was that Mrs. Grlgsby, sho'B tho one who owns the place, Sort ot choked and gasped, and spluttered, aud grow crimson in tho face. Whon she got hor thoughts collected she unburdened them with zest, Grim terror seized tho ribbon clerk, and horror slezod tho rest. Those who gavo the clerk a hearing, who remarked tho poem was fino Aro an ahjoct lot of creatures now whene'er they oomo to dlno. And the few who made thoir protests Just before tho final crash, They aro oating of tho roast pork while the, rest aro oating haBh.

Tho passing of the old regime wherein all JJarrimah roads were operated under one executive and the various managers in reality given the authorities of office boys to carry out tlio policy of squeezing all the traffic would bear to help out stock market manipulations is probably due to fear of government prosecution for violation of the Sherman law. The mention of the llarrimau merger as illegal by the attorney general has at any rate been fol lowed by a hasty disintegration and reorganisation, which wc of interior Oregon pra.v, will result beneficially to the territory affected, and to this end stand ready to lend hearty cooperation. The prosperity of southern and western Oregon is so dependent upon the course pursued by the Southern Pa cific that every act of the traffic, chiefs is studied with' interest. Oonsenuontlv tho official utterances of .ludmi Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the board of directors, dur ing his recent Oregon trip command attention. Among other things. Judge Lovett makes the old and oft repeated promise of an east and west line across cen tral Oregon. This. time, however, construction is niadC dependent upon the attitude of land owners. As Mr. Lovett says: "That is, whether thev are willimr to nut their land on the market at prices that will attract settlers or whether they will prepare to discount railroad facili ties in advance and withhold their land from settlement, demanding prices that will prevent the development necessary to justify a railroad." This is excellent advice, coining from the head of the Southern Pacific railroad, itself the largest land owner in Oregon, which has for years withheld its land from settlement and so prevented the development of the state to a lar greater extent than any other land owner pos sibly could. Oregon land valued at from $50,000,000 to fcs75,000,000,' containing vast mineral, timber and agricul tural resources, including a big part of Jackson-county, is held by the railroad for "the benefit of future genera tions," as the late E. II. Harriman once said. It would have paid the railroad yeai-s ago, as.it would puy it today, to give this land free to actual settlers aud developers on account of the increased traffic that would result but it has been withheld from the people until public resentment was so aroused that the aid of the courts has been in voked to restore it to the nation. , It; is, respectfully suggested that Mr. Lovett follow his own advice and place the company's holdings on the market at prices that will attract settlers, so as to actually cooperate with the people in developing the state. "The development of the railroads and development of tho country by the railroads," r. Lovett continued, "rests with the people. "If the railroads are treated justly, fairly, they can develop. If they are treated unjustly and unfairly and arc hounded by unfair laws and unequal advantages un der the law, then they can't develop." Air. Lovett can rest assured that the railroads will be treated justly and fairly bv the people of Oregon. Thev alwrys have been. For twenty years they controlled pol itics, jiau uumis meir own way without protest, vet tnev 'built scarcely a mile of railroad to develop the state in j-l i f r i i , mat tune. &o unjust treatment has never stood m tho way ot railroad biuldiner in It is to be regretted that new roads are so vague. So state line consists of surveys. surveys to determine the final Mi. Lovett. "We have surveyed it several times, but are going over it again. - that we will proceed with now, because many other conditions are to be taken into consideration. according to the cloth." As a good beginning for for popular reciprocity, it is the company make a Mediord or other interior dollar buy as much freight transportation as a Portland dollar can buj It is also suggested that Medford and other cities be enabled to ship mercliandise reasonable rate and not have to pay for having it hauled first through the towns to Portland and then back again. As a further evidence of the dawn of tho now day, it is suggested that tho mythical California-Oregon bound ary line be discarded as a basis for rate making, and that shippers on the Oregon side be given the same -rate for the same haul as on the (Jahtornia side. To clinch the newly established friendship for the people, it is urged that rates be made interior points, other than fruit rates, which will enable the creation and establishment of industries, thus utilizing raw materials and developing the country in other than horticultural lines. Heal reciprocity, establishing mutual regard and creating prosperity for both railroad and people would follow systematic efforts to develop the state's natural resources. Tho establishment of a bureau to study the resources of each locality, bring them to the attention of manufacturers and investors, and secure the location thereon of factories and the establishment of rates that would permit these developers to do business at a profit, would be a ten str ko for tho railroad. All emigrants do not want to raise apples. Work must be furnished in other lines. Tt is up to the railroad to uiMjjjurmi; wmu uiu uiuics mm sqppiy ino present oeiH cioncics. :a, ' - . - - .
