The papers of Oregon are just now
filled with "hot air" stories of new
railroads or extensions of present
lines. These stories are light and
airy reading for hot summer days.
They do no harm and sometimes do
good. They have been known to In

So hurrah for the boomers, even

MONEY TALKS.
A good illustration of the pithy
challenge, "Money talks," is the Thaw
case. Money is talking for him
through the columns of New York
newspapers and press dispatches from
the metropolis.
If Thaw had been without money
or moneyed friends, the world famous
architect whom he killed would have
been almost deified by the metropoli
tan writers who sell their brains to
the highest bidder, and the assassin
would have been daubed a murderous
degenerate for whom the death pen
alty would be less than his deserts.
See what change a judicious dis
tribution of money has wrought.

is really true, he never was a toady

difference in the undertakings, it Is
only a matter of degree. The same
kind of push, only more of it, will
string the wires and lay the rails to
Molalla.

of all baby's who cry and are treated
