Salem hotel keepers are quoted as be
ing ngainst the election of United States
Senators by the people. They state that
it has taken the old time life out of the
egislative sessions. In other words, ths
main lobby of the early portion of the
session is conspicuous by its absence. The
demand for rooms is not so great
Shame on Portland and Seattle, who
are trying to prevent Spokane from se
curing the same railroad rates that they
enjoy In justice, Spokane should have
lower rates. The haul to Spokane is ZOO
miles less than it is to either Portland or
Spokane, why should not the rates be
lower?
Senator Foraker will think that the
President is. a stand patter before he se
cures a reversal of the President's order
on the Brownsville affair. The President
has won. It is all over but the shouting
and Foraker will not be present when the
shouting time arrives.
There is evidence that indicates a live
ly city campaign for city offices six weeks
hence. The coming year promises to be
an important one. The discussion over
the proposed new charter and the Beaver
creek water project and the possibility of
a municipal electric light plant are the
basis of the unusual interest that is de
veloping this early, As a usual thing very
little interest is taken in city elections un
til a few days prior to the election.

It is understood that the Board of Fire
Underwriters of the Pacific coast will
meet in February and restore the rates
which were in effect prior to the San
Frai.cisco conflagration. This will mean
a reduction of 25 per' cent which the
companies assessed the people on this
coast to help them pay their losses. There
is no question but what the companies
made a mistake for the reason that it is
safe to say that by this action they lost
more business thai their increased rates
brought in.
'This cold weather means good crops,
These words were spoken today by one
of our substantial pioneer farmere. He

a rea
son for this. The ground will be frozen to
a depth of at least one foot. This is
better than a deep plowing, from the fact
the soil while pulverized is not turned
over. Wisconsin and the Dakotas are re
nowned for the fine quality of their wheat.
It is quite common for the groand to
freeze to a depth of ten or more feet in
the above named states. Then again in
winters like this the snow in our mountains
is deep, this cold weather will pack it and
dunngthe warm summer months will
cool the winds and prevent the burning of
the grain as well as to keep up the water
in our streams, which more or , less sub-
irrigate the entire valley. So there is
reason for the prophecy of our old pioneer
friend.
Qovernor Chamberlain's recommenda
tion, that guards from the penitentiary be
ssm auer prisoners mat are te be con
veyed to the State prison from the various
count.es, the same as insane patients, is a
wise one. The cost during 1906 for
transporting 514 insane patients was
$5,668, while the cost for the same
yiiua in transporting o8 prisoners
was $15,675. fifty per cent more, to
say nothing of a better service which
would result from trained assistants.
