GREAT THINGS. Fear the Lord
and serve him in truth, for consider
how great things he hath done for you.
1 Samuel 12: 24.
RAILWAY SEPARATION
Comment on the action of the government in its de
cision to separate the central and the Southern Pacific
railway lines is acute. . . i
The situation when the government recently declared
that the two lines must be separated, is that the two
systems have been under common control and management
for fifty years, or since 1872. The lines have been extend
ed by first one and then the other depending upon the abil
ity either to obtain the money for the extension. In fact
the two companies accomplished in extensions and hence
in service what neither alone could have done.
The supreme court now decides that, under the Sher
man Act prohibiting railway mergers, the two lines must
separate as the Sunset route through Texas on the South
competes with the line through Ogden on the north. That
the law is hereby upheld is not questioned. The effect of
separation of the two roads is important.
The result will no doubt be the lessening of the scope
and efficieniy of both the Southern Pacific and the Cen
tral lines giving the Union Pacific more privileges and
may restrict the expansion and scope of the service now
enjoyed or in sight in Western Oregon.
The Union Pacific holds out the view that with the
other two roads separated the natron cut-off and central
Oregon lines will be quickly completed but this is question
ed seriously owing to the fact that when this road had con
trol of both the Southern and Central Pacific from 1902 to
1914, she closed the gateway via Sacramento and all Ore
gon traf f ia had to go over the Oregon Short Line or pay
the transcontinental rate to Sacramento.
Fears which seem well grounded are that under the
separation the Union Pacific will gain control of the Cen
tral Pacific and re-establish the transportation monopoly
as before. This will destroy present traffic competition
in Western Oregon and place the cities of this Valley sec
tion on a lateral railway line.
The last source of action in this matter is the Inter
state Commerce Commission with whom appeal for action
with reference to railway grouping lies.
EFFECTIVE PUNISHMENT
. By Edith Lockridge Reid
In a wellordered household where
the children are properly trained, it is
surprising how few direct commands
are necessary.
Such remarks as "Close the door,"
Stop your noise," "Don't throw pil
lows," "Eat with your fork" and "Be
careful of those books", are unnecess
ary because they have been implied
all through the lives of the children.
A baby two years old has learned the,
fundamentals that control actions re
sulting from these and similar com
mands. He has been taught to close
doors and do it -quietly until the ac
tion ia reflex and doesn't need to be told
to stop his noise, because he has
learned that any excessive uproar has
unpleasant consequences. The very
first time he threw a pillow he was
shown that it nearly hit the lamp, and
that it also tore a corner of the pillow.
Yes, there was a reason why pillows
should not be thrown about, and hav
ing this fixed in his mind he doesn't
have to be told every day. So with
dozens of other items in his discipline.
Our commands resemble the sign
board placed along the highway that
says "Dangerous Curve Ahead." The
first time a driver goes over the road
he is controlled entirely by the word
ing on the sign. He stops and reads
it and then drives slowly until he has
negotiated the turn. But after much
driving over the sam stretch of road
he knows he must slow up, and clamps
on the brakes without even glancing
at the sign. As far as he is concerned
the sign could be removed, for he
does not need it.
However, the important point with
mothers is to get the sign up in time.
Of coures there is some work, to mak
ing sign boards. They have - to be
carved and outlined and painted, and
afterwards put up securely, but once
established they do their, duty.
So it is with our commands. The
first two or three years we, prepare
the sign board. And after that the
rules which govern the road are so
well learned that we need not call at
tention any longer to the bumps and
curves and rough spots. The children
slow up for these without being told
and without any effort from us.
Recently three men and a woman, the wife of one of
the men were arrested in connection with the operation of
a moonshine outfit near Estacada. All were found guilty
and given the limit of the law as a sentence $500 in
fines and six months in jail each. The men are in pail,
the woman has appealed to the circuit court and is free
awaiting another trial.
In this case Judge Noble set an example for other
jurists in sentencing the bootleg gentry. Too general is
the practice of courts to impose a fine merely. And the
fines are often paid by gangs who keep in the background
and profit from the operations of their "tools", who take
a chance with the jurists imposing fines only. And if they
get off with fines alone they are free to re-engage in the

So we will find in a well-trained
familythat the direct commands are
tew, and because of this, fact, when
they are given, obedience; is almost
assured. But like a powerful machine
that we admire because it runs so
smoothly and noiselessly, someone be

Jail sentences for punishment and fines additional to

prosecuting the "bootleggers" is the only fair and effective
punishment. It sometimes requires weeks and even
months of the time and energy of the sheriffs' office to
obtain the evidence necessary to convict in a single case.
And often, as was the case in Linn County last week the
officers take their lives in their hands in dealing with this
class of criminals another reason lor mamng me pumsn

Hidden Somewhere In the Sudan
Desert Is Osman D I ana's Store
of Gold and Ivory.
In my travels, when a young girl
in Egypt and later in the Sudan, In
Ismailia, I met with a woman who
had fled from the Sudan during the
war with the British. She was related
to the once famous Osman Digna, the
mahdl's general and most trusted
friend. She related the following,
which . I translate :
Every year Osman Digna used to
take 50 Sudanese men and load them
up with ivory, gold and precious stones
which the mahdi obtained from traders
from the Congo. He led these men In
a march which lasted three days, into
the wilds of Khartoum, to a moun
tain where was his cache. When every
thing was put in safely, they started
off to return, but hairway another
trusted man, named Mahomoud, met
Osman Digna with a hundred men,
who killed everyone of the men used
to carry the valuables. When that
deed was done they returned to the
mahdi, waiting for the next year's
caravan.
Osman Digna consequently was the
only man who knew the cache. When
taken prisoner he was offered a large
sum of money to conduct a party to th
place ut he. absolutely refused to
speak. The last I heard of him he was
still lingering In prison In Cairo nearly
