COST OF TRANSPORTATION
The Hon. Samuel Hill of
Washington state, in an address
before the Good Road - Conven
tion at the World's fa r at St.
Louis, April 27 to 29, 1003, said
"The cost of transportation on
land (by .rail) is, cheaper in
the - United States than
anywhere . else in the world
To iuuv a iuu of iriegut oue
hundred miles in England costs
$2.30, in Germany $2.00; in
France $1.75; in Russia $1.80; j
but to move a ton of freight a
hundred mile in America costs
on an average, only seventy-two
cents.
It would not be time mis
spent, by our farmer and town
readers, to calculate the ' actual
coat of moving a ton of freight
a mile ovr our country roads
to'tho railroad.
Charles Sumner a Statesman,
thinker and one of the most
eloquent of Americas great ora
tors with reference to good
roadt said. "The roads and the
school master are the two most
important agents in advancing
civilization."
Chicago's big and costly orop
of whirlwind ought to induce
greater carefulness in the selec
tion of eted.
The county court will today
caucel $25,000 of outstanding
warrants. Last month tbey
canceled about $20,000. At this
rate it will not be many years
until the couuty is out of debt.
Mayor Williams was elected
by the better element in the
city of Portland two years ago
but the same element also de
feated him this time It is true
there were other opposing forces
each instance but in each in
instance the better element
held the balance of power.
The city council certainly
did the wise thing in liscens
ing Palmists, mind readers and
that class of fakes that have
been plyiug their vocations in
this city more or less for the
past number of years. They
can still do lut-iuo.a but they

THE MEAT MAN
: Is still doing business at the
old stand. Will be glad to
see all his old custmores at
well as new ones. As good
prime beef cattle is now
scarce, I have on hand a fine
selection of cured meats,
hams breakfast bacon. About
the fifteenth of May, I will
have a fine assottment oi
young ptime beef, which art
now fattening. Do not for
get that I now have as gqod
fresh beet as ihere is on the
market a-, well as fresh fish
and poultry.

The city council is to be com
mended in its action in refusing
to grant a. lice,ne$ to party who
has just had his license revok
ed by the circuit court. This
evidently will be the policy of
the council in the future and it
should be. The saloons are
greatly to blame for the genera
drift of public opinion against
their business by not respecting
the law of the land nor the laws
of decency. At the present time
there is one saloon in this city
that gives a talking machine ex
hibition several hoars "each
evening. This draws a crowd
and it is also drawing some
thing more. The public is often
slow to wrath but there is a limit
