SIMPTEB VALLEY RAILROAD AS
X DEVELOPER,
The . 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

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.

THE USUAL CIVIL SERVICE TALK.
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? - ' '

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. ,
