Every lartre railroad up in detail, and the issue and statistics regarding both the traffic lines and the country tributary to them. Regarding Oregon, the Times says: "If one familiar with tho whole country woro naked what statu would probably show tho most progress nml tho highest rate of development In tho next ten years, anions tho first ho would mention Oregon. Its average length east, and west la ,100 miles nnd Its length SCO miles. Tho Cascade mountains divide It Into two section. Tho constat portion, which has been nettled for CO years, has a mild, moist cllmnte. Is rich In agriculture, nnd contains tho great city of Portland, with 207,000 people, built up around Its splendid harbour ou tho Willamette Klver, up which ocean vessels Sail freely. Tho eastern section, a high tableland, much of It richly forested and with a drlor climate, Is almost virgin territory. Old laud grants. In aid or road building aggregating SOO.OOO acres have recently passed Into private ownership, and aro to bo opened up. Into this country tho railroads aro building now, and tho ranch is yielding to the farm. "Eastern Oregon is n fine wheat country, the yield In 19 11 being 10, 725,000 bushels. From tho big ranges US.000,000 pounds of wool were taken. Tho value of farm property Increcensed 205.8 per cent In the last ton years, aud tho value of land per acre 213.7 per cent. The lumber cut In 1909 was nearly two billion toot. Tho fisheries bring In wealth amount ing to. $1,350,000 a year. Some of the finest fruit in tho world Is grown In the Roguo Hirer Valley nnd in orchards along the Columbia Klvor. Tho stato In 1910 had 30 times the population It had In 1S50, while tho popula tion of tho United States was multiplied by but four. Portlnnd Is one of tho finest cities of the country, with 2,200 manufacturing establishments and bank clearings of $S5S,000.000. Salem grow from 4,000 to 14,000 In Iho last ten years ana Medrord from 1.SO0 to S.S00; and yet tho whole stato nvorages only seven persons to tho square mile. This Is tho battleground whom the northern and tho southern transcontinental railway systems moot, and their contest for supremacy is opening up tho country nnd producing many changes and a remarkable development, "When it is remembered that the London Times cir culates all over the globe, and that it is the great authority of countless Englishmen and .the bible of the army o'r English investors, such a notice is the best possible adver tisment for Oregon. The railroad section is a veritable encyclopedia of railroad information and valuable alike to "the railroad man aud the general public. The United States Postal Express By K. L. McClure. Tho Inter-Stato 'Commcrco Com mission has published Its report In the matter of express rates, prac tices and revenues, which exhibits the express business la all Its naked deformities. Express companies have built up a gigantic business by a scrvlco that has become Indispens able for public convenience. They havo fixed tho rato of charges with out accountability to anyone but the railroad company, whoso contract to operato over Its territory Is tho first essential to do business; and I tho railroad is only concerned that tho rates shall not bo low enough to ariect tho disparity between pass enger and freight train service to pro duce all tho traffic will bear. The express companies touch everybody's pocket book with tho dictum of the bandit your money or your life. Tho enormous revenuo of tho ex press companies Is tho least evil of tho gigantic monopoly. Tho high cost of living which puzzles all the pundits, while fundamentally caused by the circulation of .money,' Is af fected directly by every distribution of wealth. The express business is the natural channel of distribution between pro ducers and consumers for all dally needs as the mall Is for letters and papers. Any person having a pack age to send should bo able to send It by Postal Express, by a regular perio dic service, to any person in the United Slates with the same positive -ft COMMUNICATION. Tho Parsing of Judge Ilnnford. To the Editer: Gone but not forgotten, may well be said of tho late lamented Judge. Hanford was a strict tec-totalcr and gave many Illustrated temperanco lectures. And as the Judge stag gered down the street closely imi tating a drunken man, many a fond parent has called their child's at tention to tho diro effect of tho demon rum. In fact all but his most intimate friends were deceived, so closo was tho imitation. As a jug gler ha was second to none. He could pass out receiverships with tho loft hand as well as with tho right, keep lng four In the air at onco and bal ancing two others on his chin. Han ford was strictly non-partisan In his benefactions, he could pass a dona tion to a republican railroad or a democratic street car company. Ho has left a monument to his party second only to a Lorlmer or an Arch ibald. A monument that a Keeno, a Colvlg or a Taft can point to with prldo. Tho outgoing president paid this glowing tribute to him. "Ho exemplifies the highest typo or re publican citizenship on earth nnd typifies tho kind of mon wo will moot In hcavon," or words to that effect. AH of which wo heartily ondorso. Tho one thing this truly grand old bulwark of tho (J, O. P. could not Vnld. A monument that a Keeno, a crcnturo of that faith acted on tho Judge as a red flag on an enraged bull or a suffragette to a Whlstlor. But after all both Hanford and Wills ler must admit a socialist and suffra gette Is part human. As a JuBt and cqultablo Judgo Hitiifonl ,)(( noth ing to be; desired and bo will bo greatly missed by many of tho vory best people, of Seattle and the stato (Washington Including; tho Dnllon- ltrnii'd ntnl Yftiiiii phlluuthroplsts. Tho federal bench i dntc of January 28, issued illustraied sod ion devoted to It ft 1 svstem in Ameriea is writ ion in replete with aeeurato data dependence of the lettor scrvlco. Tho scrvlco should cover rural, town and city, local business as well as out-of-town business, to make all deliveries whether one packago or hundreds for store, trade, farmer or individual, saving the hundred fold duplication of service, driving back and forth over the samo territory, and substi tuting a perfect dcllvory scrvlco for u!l. t This would put ovoy producer In direct contact with every consumer nnd cut out tho broker and middle man, who takes tbo lion's shari of profit In every exchange in thcTtfls- trlbutlon of wealth, and Is tho most active agent In tho Increased cost of living. This niost-ta-be-dcslred object can never bo attained until tho national government supersedes all tho ex press companies by establishing a Postal Express, as an excluslvo monopoly, to handle every kind of express dcUevcrlcs, local and out-of-town, rural, town and city, through out the United States and connecting with all foreign countries. The practical suggestions of tho commission cannot lm realized, with out the actual management of tho do taile aro diverted by officials re sponsible to the public to operate tho busbies solely for the Interest of the producer and consumer, instead of making profits for tho corporation first, favor to special interests second, nnd tho public interest last, as the expresc business is conducted nt the present time. sustains nn Irreparable loss in the passing of .Hanford. W. J. SCOTT. FEAR OF DEATH SEALS LIPS OF WITNESS MURDER CASE NEW YOItK, July 25. -Fears of revenge at the hands of tho East Siilo gangsters was ever present In the minds of witnesses In the Rosenthal niurdor Investigation, and temporar ily blocked tho efforts of District At torney Whitman to draw closer the net about the men who assassinated the gambler. Apparently awed by tho presenco pf gangsters In tho coroner' court, John llcisler, a barber, retracted 'it tho coroner's examination statements alleged to havo been made a few min utes beforo to Whitman to tho effect that ho saw "Brldgy" Webber run ning from tho scene of the murder. Tho coroner's hearing was In tho nuturo of an examination of Wcbbr and Paul, both charged with com plicity In tho murder. It was to con nect Webber more closely with tho case that Uelslor was placed on the stand. It Is believed Whitman was laying lines to force Webber to a statement which would implicate the "higher ups". It Is at the door of tbo "police system" that Whitman places the re sponsibility for tho murder of tho man who charged tho polices were ex uding tributo from tho gamblers. The proceedings this afternoon wero hen national, llcisler was tho first witness called. Ho testified ho saw Webber after tho Itoscnthu! murder. Whitman asked If ho was running and Itelulor'a eyes shifted uneasily toward Webber,' Paul and others und replied: "I don't' knpw."
