Sumpter Valley railroad has been extended from Austin to Prairie City and Saturday night trains were run Into the town in the John , Day Talley lor the first time. This pieco of railroad has been ho 'easy task to rugged country. But the fact that Mr. Eccles and his associates . built the line is the ' Important feature, for it opens the wonderful John Day valley to the outside world and aids the traveler in cutting off considerable time on a trip .to Burns. Soon another link will be built in all probability and then the old prediction of "Sumpter Valley line will be the first to reach Burns" will have come true. That, however, is In the future and the thing of pres ent Importance is the John Day Val ley, which is noted already for it? fruit, its stock, Its timber. And right here let us draw a slleht comparison. For years land in the John Day Valley has been aellfng at . higher prices than land in the Grande Ronde Talley, and yet the John Day country has had no means of trans portation while this valley has a transcontinental line and a. branch line of standard guage. No one will attempt to say that live in John, Day more can be raised per acre than In the Grande Ronde valley. No one will attempt to sty that live stock is more profitable, or that the , timber industry is greater. Then why has the land over there sixty miles from a railroad been selling for ;a higher price? ":; There , is Just one reason: ; The John Day people . have always ; had confidence in their land and asked the price. Here in the Grande Ronde people have grown rich from their farms and never seemed to realize what the land Is actually worth. But that day is dawning and real estate in the Grande Ronde is beKlnnin? to fet to a point where it belongs. 1 MAGIC T0VT1I OF THE TROLLEY. have superior opportunities of bene fit from such improvement With unlimited water-power that can be transformed into elecrtlc mo tive force, and with the natural re sources for industry and, commerce, an interurban trolley system with Lewiston as a center, would have a rich field for operations. Everywhere that electric roads are established they produce rapid development of both urban and agricultural resour ces. Electric lines should be as common s . telephones, . snd . should finite city and counthy in ; . closer union. , The trolley roads don't displace or rival the steam roads nor do they take the place of river traffic, but they supple ment these, acting as feeders for the other transportation lines. Lewiston will be rapidly transformed when it is finally touched by the magic of the trolley, as it doubtless will be in the near future. Lewiston .Teller.

Plans are now pending in Lewiston - for the development of a comprehen sive trolley system that will have the inevitable effect of transforming the city from a condition of moderate growth and activity to one of rapid and enormous development. This has been the experience of many cities, not possessed of any Important natur al advantages, and Lewiston should An interview has been given out at the poBtofflce department stating that all postmasters who. are doing their duty satisfactorily will be retained re gardless of political prestige or choice of congressmen. And it is alleged that President Taft has asked the de partment to adhere to this matter Inn r an the noetofflee de- partment is a creature of ' politics there will be little service about post masters of the second and first class, with possibly a semblance of it in third class offices. About once a year It 1 in order for a civil service inter view or statement to be sent out for effect, but if you. will watch later de velopments ypu will notice that invar iably the man secures postoffices who has been "right"! with the adminis tration. The insurgents ra congress are ask ing for appointments now and that may be cause for the late decree from Washington, but. if there is an insur gent holding an office and a regular republican wants it, watch the change occur at the expiration of - the said insurgent's term. And, while it may not be popular at the present time, to advocate that old adage, "to the victor belongs the spoils," yet is it not "the way of life in everything else, and why not in politics? - ' ' Getv out the brass bands for Teddy will soon be in sight in his native land. Let the cymbols clang and the firecrackers shoot for the world is worshipping the "man from Elba" at the present timB. One thing is sure, Teddy will not make a speech favor-; ing : government ownership of rail roads when he reaches New York, as Mr. Bryan did after his trip around the world. But if Teddy should do such a thing doubtless the united States treasury would begin at once to make arrangements for the pur chase of all railroads at once. , 4 I ''A'k m neT( i ff ' , .- pitch agal 'L5 V .Waddell'w fct: . sirnca on i F2?S ' left arm by VnNV ' 'pitched ball in l rs- l Boston recent- 4 V"1 J bones .in the I L?l y elbow frac- J ! v 1 lurea.
