TllK'ORTAtiK ROAD.
It is ftratifyiiiK imlt'i'il In the
wliolv of tlmt vast territory of
Kastorn Orison, commonly known
a tlw Inland Knipirr. thai a nmoll
portion of Portland has arouwil it
self long onoush fnm an innate
lethargy, heretofore completely ob
litiTatini; this section's cry for
more and Mter transportation
facilities, to step forward and sup
port the portage road project. The
('handier of Commerce in adopt
ing the resolution? last Friday in
which is clearly set forth a pledge
to the people that the Chandler's
."untiring efforts toward retaining
the Culilo portage road measure'
are assured, and that it will ''em
ploy all honorable and practical
means toward Ihespeady construc
tion of the road,'' has given birth
to a new ray in the Eastern Ore
gon's star of hojie.
The action of this commercial
IkhIv is commendable, and at the
same time unexpected. It was not
ruppoaed that Portland, magnani
mous only in its own eyes, and a
city that has constantly put off 'till
the morrow what it could do to
day in the matter of providing
transiortation for the immense
traffic of this adjoining territory,
would take the time or forethought
to urge this measure, the com
pletion of which mer ns an incal
culable profit to this long neglected
community. But it has. The
ieople in this district will, there
fore, watch the outcome of the pro
mised struggle in the extra session
of the legislature with a zealous
eye.
Eastern Oregon, bulwarked with
its richness of resources and im
mense overland traffic, demands
the completion of this road to
lighten its burden. From a sense
of justice its requests, springing as
they do from years of rough shod
den struggle with exorbitant frcijiht
rates and primitive transportation
facilities, should lie given a place
for consideration. The expendi
ture of Jl'BXKI to construct the
road is not much when the fact is
apparent that in the space of one
year that amount will lie saved
in freight charges. On the face of
things, therefore, the ilea of econo
my is materially lacking in founda
tion. As a subterfuge, however,
in designing other motives, it
seems to have found a lodging
place in the minds of some of the
legislators.
But it is not extraordinary that
the monopolistic forces of the spider
web road, skirting the state on the
north, should at this time plav a
strong hand in defeating a com

petitive measure. It is lilting that
this lone star railroad should use
every energy to annihilate a divi
dend reilucini project. To use the
superficial argument that the
government canal will afford the
relief prayed for, is also in keeping
with the exigencies of tear aroused
in the probabilities of a cheaper
rout for inland traffic and lower
rates.
The government surveyors have
stated that live years wilt see the
completion of the Celilo canal, but
with other government 'works as
notablv the Cascade
locks, it is safe to add another live
or ten years to the estimate. In
the meantime the farmers, mer
chants and business industries in
the Columbia and Central Oregon
basin demand the fulfillment f
the portage road law as passed at
the last session of the legislature.
It is demanded from a sense of
justice and oppression; from a
sense of fair plav and eounl rights
toalf, and a measure which will!
relieve this vast scope of territory
from the tender mercies of the
Harriman syndicate'' cannot he
otherwise than a measure in keep
ing with the pressing needs of the
time.
It is to lw hoped that the legis
lature will see lit to view the mat
ter in an unbiased light, and that
the inconsistency of the framcr of
the present law, who now advo
cates its repeal, will be given a se
vere and lasting set lack, even by
his constituents in Orant cotintv.
THE WEATHER.
It is entirely titling at this time
that a word should lie droped
concerning the weather, because
the scapegrace who has charge of ',
the atmospheric humidity, the
storms, the winds, the sudden
changes, the chilling blasts, the
Chinooks, and the thousand and
one antics which climatic condi
tions are wont to indulge in, has
been very kind and thoughtful in
his delivery of goods to Crook
county during the pist week.
And besides, the word weather
encircles a subject which oftimcs
is a rery bandy matter to have at
one's toungue's end. A sort of
"'filler ,"(' as it were, which some
times saves us from embarrassing
situations and supplies a thought
or two when thinklcts otherwise
would be doing time in the "want"
column. Why, stop and recollect
the score of times you have said
''pretty weather, isn't it?" or "a
tine day" or "nice weather we're
having" and the women "what a
jierfectly enchanting day." How
often, oh, how often have you used
the poor old weather lieaten weath
er to weather yourself through the
ice immediately after the formali
ty of an introduction lo a stranger.
And the bashful young man, who
finds himself bathed in prespira
tion whenever a la-witching bunch
of calico tlrapK-d around the be
ing that lw longs inside of it has
formed his acquaintance, will in
I variably pounce upon the harm

From reports being published,
it is clearly evident that various
municipal governments through
out the I'nion, and even the gov
ernment at Washington itself, have
not wailedinlil the calm and tran
quil springtime to do their clean
ing. A renovation of the city gov
ernments has become ueneral. and
the bouse eloanim: epidemic evinclfor ,,re t rooke! .ivor bridge
ed by the latter has spread even to
dcKirtmcnt circles at the national
capital.
It was thought more than a
year ago, when Folk opened up
his campaign in St. Uiius, that
the most debased form of municip
al corruption in existence had
been exposed; but later events in
other eastern cities turned the,
search light upon civic conditions
equal to those in the Mississippi ;
river town.
And now I ode Sam has useil
his bgal crow-bar in prying up j
some shady transactions in the
postal department in Washington. j
The reports are just now finding !
tneir way in urn 10 me press, aim
the public, which has long been
eager for the details, stands ap
palled at the amazing and riotous
iniquity which has lieen i(( vogue
in post office affairs for years past.
There seems to lie no limit to the
number which will eventually lie
implicated in the scandals, but it
is to be hoped that the carpet
sweeper of justice in the hands of
president Roosevelt will take up
all the old dust. Corruption in
municipal governments is bad
enough, but when it becomes so R c. Reece. superintendent of

the blotch. Anarchy and the
more radical forms of socialism

in such conditions, recognized the
world over as the instigating causes
for the propogation of those sects
that would annihilate all forms of
civil government.
Among the post mortem result
ing from the ludicrous attempt to
cast a shadow upon Mr. Moody's
character is that of the instigator,
H. S. Wilson. The latter's next
effort will doubtless lie by a differ
ent method than that of politics.

proved that justice could not be
thwarted by Kjlitics, even if Mr.
Wilson was at one end of the line
and Mr. Ma vs. at the other.
