, . , , . : THE HA1LROAD AND THE PUBLIC.
Theljanquet tendered James J. Hill at Portland last
week aud the cordial vyelcome gven E. II.: Harriman last
. summer by all Oregon cities, usher in a new era wherein
inenuiy reunions nerween ranroaus ana me general public
supplant indifference, discord and animosity. Both the
traffic officials and the people are realizing that their in
terests are mutual and that what benefits one benefits the
other. Ho the railroads instead of resorting to corruption
of politics, are now appealing directly to the people to se
cure and maintain by good will what was formerly seized
Co-operation with the people of every community is
now the railroads' policy, and efforts are put forth to es
. tiiblish l'ricurfly relations. If a new industry is to be fos
tered, favorable rates are made. If there is universal
fault finding, steps are taken to remedy the ills. Formerly
complaints fell upon deaf curs, and insolence and indiffer
ence prevailed toward the public. This attitude, combined
with rebating and other illegal practices, and interference
in politics, aroused a feeling of resentment and retaliation
oil the part of the public, which resulted in n wnv. nf nm.
nmry railroad legislation, cutting rates and providing
stringent regulation, which' has had its effect in arousing
railroad companies to a truer conception of their positions
as servants, not masters or the public.
., The railroad can only grow in volume of business and
profits as the territory it traverses develops. As this is
realized, we see officials in closer touch with tho ni'iml.1 t.i
learn their needs and lending assistance to upbuild com
munities and settling the country. Experts are sent to
teach modern methods, and cars equipped to demonstrate
scientific theories to farmers and fruit men. Lecturers
are employed, pamphlets issued and the nations ransacked
for the benefit of almost unknown localities.
The Harriman lines have been backward in aiding the
development of Oregon. Until recently efforts to upbuild
the west were confined to California. The past few years,
however, go far to atone for any previous neglect in this
icgaui, anu no small part ot Oregon's rapid development
of recent years is directly due to the railroad's efforts. So
un eta or uetter understanding and of better feeling be
tween the people of Oregon and the Harriman lines seems
here.

offers a better distribution of the burdens among the dif

distilled spirits variously-i. e1., the drink of the rich man
higher than that of the poor man."
E. 11. Mansfield, American consul at Lucerne, has lately
made an interesting report on the management of the liquor
trail ic. Each canton has a large measure of discretion,
the general plan being to limit the number of saloons in
proportion to the population, The minimum price for
license is 200 francs, equal to about 40 a"year, and the
maximum lor large first-class hotels (50(H) francs e.miv
alei.t to about 12(10 per year. Each n.unicipalitv or com
