HIKE TITLES DETAILS IE 111 OF OFFICIALS MB EErOBTED THAT FIYE ARE HATE SEW COGXOMEXS TO Alse Imported that a w Man Is to Take Tlate Tatatfd by Buckley There seems to be several changes in titles and rearrangements of the O. R. & N. official slate In store for September 1. In local railroad cir cles. It Is reported that M. J. Buckley is to be made assistant general man ager, and that a man foreign to the present slate Is going to be installed as general superintendent of the of fice now held by Mr. Buckley. But the Portland Oregonlan throws anoth er color on the rumor with the fol lowing story: ' Five assistant general managers of the Southern Pacific lines In Oregon and the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company, are to be created September 1. The men who will acquires the new title and their present official designa tions are: M. J. Buckley, general sup erintendent; George W. Boescke, the chief engineer; J. F. Graham, super intendent of motive power; C. G. Suth erland, cuiei ciem 10 me general man ager, and J. D. Stack, assistant sup erintendent of the Sacramento divis ion of the Southern Pacific. The making of these officers assis tant general managers is In accord ance with the adoption of the Hlne unit system of operating railroads. Several months ago a preliminary step was taken In this direction by the creation of several positions designa ted as "assistant superintendents." A circular Issuedl at this time gave this title to several wo bad heretofore been lidding the titles of division engineer, master mechanic, train master and po sitions of similar mportance. In the circular issued yesterday by General Manager J. P. O'Brien, an nouncing the appointment of five as slstant managers, effective September eral superintendent," "superintendent of motive power," and "chief engin eer" will be retained by the present liolders or their successors to such ex tent only as may be necessary for a proper compliance with laws and ex isting contracts. Each of the officials will be charged with tile responslbllites heretofore de Tolving upon him and In addition will assume such o,ther duties as may from time to time be assigned. In the op erations of the company all will have equal rank and be known as assistant general managers to all employes. The change has been made to sim plify the details of the executive work In the general offices and to avoid de lays arising In the solution of prob lems during the absence of the general ! manager. It Is understood that Mr. Stack, who is now on the Sacramento division will be transferred to Portland. Mr Stack was formerly chief "dispatcher for the Southern Pacific in Portland. riiiiliro Rare Meeting. Baltimore, Md.. Aug. 31.

LOCAL LAXD OFFICE AXD ATT0B 5EIS FLOODED WITH LETTERS Fall Description of Coarse that May Be Fnrsned In Filing. Great Interest is attached to every detail in connection with the land op ening in Wallowa county this fall, and La Grande Is the center of Informa tion. D. C. Brischoux, the locaUland attorney Is receiving scores of letters dally from people who are after in formation, and more especially as to what the costs will be 4n the filing preliminaries. The government this year has laid down a new rule in regard to filing. On October 22, the tracts will be thrown open to settlement On that day the land seeker may go to the land, which he has selected as his choice, and live on It, make Improve ments by, building a permanent home, and he is then entitled to 30 days prior rights. In other words it is not necessary for him to form in line, and file in turn at the land office as. is otherwise the case, but he can come to the land office within thirty days after November 21st when the filing I takes place, and if someone ha3 filed on his piece of land, he is given a 1 hearing, and if he can prove that he aotually lived on and improved the land between October 22 and Novem ber 21, and the other man who filed first, did not live on the land, then the "squatter" as he might be termed, has a prior right and Is given the title. No settlement Is allowed prior to October 22", however. To save any contest the squatter should appear and offer his filing with affidavit of settlement attaced. The filing thus made will be inspect ed on the day of the filing. November 21, and will come to record on that day, eliminating much subsequent trouble, and loss of time. Sixteen dollars must accompany the filing papers. This Is unquestionably going to be one of the greatest and most success ful land openings In the history of the Oregon land openings and It Is not Ml : guess work to say that several thou sand will Investigate the conditions and hundreds will locate permanently in Wallowa county. The Final Costs. In the event that the applicant Is successful, he has two courses which he may pursue. One is to live on the land fourteen months and then make commutation proof, paying $200. The other method is for him to live on the land five years and gain title thereto, without further cost to himself.

National and State, must be freed from the sinister influence or control of special interests. Exactly aa the special interests of cotton and slav-j ery threatened our political integrity before the Civil War, so now the great special business interests too often control and corrupt the men and methods of government for their own profit. We must drive the special interests out of politics. That is one of our tasks today. Every special In terest la entitled to justice full, fair, and complete but not one Is entitled to a vote in Congress, a voice on. the bench, or to representation In any public office. The Constitution guar-, antees protection to property, and we must make that promise good. But It does not give the right of suffrage to any corporation. 'The true friend of property, the true conservative, is he who insists that property shall be the servant and not the master of commonwealth; who lnstets that the creature of man's making shall be the servant and not the master of the man who made It.

"There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains. To put an end to It' j will be neither a short nor an east task, but it can be done. "We have come to recognize that franchises should never be granted except for a limited time, and never without proper compensation to the public. It is my personal belief that the same kind and degree of control and supervision which should be ex ercised over public service corpora tions should be extended also to com binations which control necessaries of life, such as meat, oil, and coal, or which deal in them on an Important scale. .;v I believe that the officers, and especially the directors, of corpora tions, should be held personally r sponsible when any corporation, breaks the law. t "There la a widespread belief among our people that, under the methods of making tariffs which have hitherto obtained, the special interests are too Influential. Probably this to true of both the big Interests and the little Interests. These methods have put a premium on selfishness, and naturally the selfish big interests hare gotten more than the selfish small In terests. The duty of Congress Is to provide a method by which the Inter est of the whole people shall be all that receives consideration. 352 o) fo) Laundry ...
