BLUFF SURVEYS.
In his talk at the Beaver Creek-Mo-lalla
road mooting at Beaver Creek,
Judge Ryan exposed the bluff surveys
made by the railroads whenever the
monopoly of "their territory"' is
threatened by a competing line. The
entire country is apportioned by Wall
street among the big systems, and
western Oregon is the Southern Pa
cifiers exclusive watermelon. No other
big system Is allowed, and no little
road will be encouraged by Wall
street to have even a bite of one
slice of that melon whether the S.
. P. Is ready or will be ready in 20
years to eat that bite.
When a new road is projected into
the trust road's territory, as for in
stance, the Molalla country, that road
makes bluff surveys and tells the peo
ple it will build the needed line. This
is done lo throw cold water on the
independent project.
The S. P. has done that several
times in this county, and as soon as
it finds enough goosey landowners to
believe it and kill the local road by
putting obstacles in its path by re
fusing rights of way, the surveys are
stopped and construction indefinitely
postponed.
That happened at Lewiston, Id.,
four or five times until Lewiston peo
ple got wise and put up the cash to
start the construction of an electric
line to Grangevllle. Then the O. R.
& N. and the Northern Pacific built
into Lewiston, and that town is in a
fair way to become a railroad center.
The bluff surveys have been worked
on Coos Bay for many years but that
harbor region and Roseburg are wise
at last. They have put up $100,000
each to start the construction of an j
electric line, and you will now see 1
that the S. P. will build into Coos
Bay from two-or three different points,
and probably buy out the electric
line at a big profit to the original
stockholders.
Let Oregon City subscribe for
enough of the capital stock of the
Oregon City, Beaver Creek & Molalla
railway, to build the first section to
Beaver Creek and the rest of the line
will be clear sailing and no chance
of financial loss.
That road will insure Oregon City's
future progress.
proprtated is excessive. On the oth
er hand the movement was instigated
by enemies of the state university and
has been backed by them, to the
shame of Oregon before the world.
One Eugene Palmer has been trav
eling all over the state circulating the
petitions. Ho has been at a big ex
pense. Who pays that expense and
why?
HOW IT WAS DONE.
Roseburg, a town much smaller
than Oregon City, raised over $100,000
in 24 hours in stock subscriptions for
an electric road to Coos Bay. There
was no miracle in the astonishing
fact, as the details given In the Hose
burg papers show it was accomplish
ed by just good, hard work.
Ttie whole towu was woudorfully in
earnest. A mass meeting was held
and half-holiday declared. Seattle's
money-raising motto, "Everybody
Helps." was adopted and everybody
did help and the money was subscrib
ed. The list was headed by J. H.
Booth and F. B. Walte with $10,000
each, A. C. Marster $7,500 and follow
ed by three $5,000 subscriptions, one
$tooo, three $2500, three $200 and
nineteen $1000.
All Oregon Is saying "Bully for
Roseburg."
THE INSTITUTE.
U. OF O. FRIENDS MISTAKE.
The University of Oregon referen
dum petitions ar to be fought in the
courts because of some alleged techni
cal error in the heading. That course
is not only a mistake on the part of
the friends of the university, but it
is wrong in principle. The people
who signed those petitions have an
unqualified right to do so, and to
have their petitions given every con
sideration, including that of having
small, immaterial technical defects ig
nored. We are glad to see that Attor
ney General Crawford gives the opin
ion that the alleged defects are not
vital, and we hope the courts will
decide the same way. The resort
to the courts will make votes against
the appropriation in the election.
Since the petitions have been sign
ed and if they are strong enough in
numbers, the matter should come to
a vote, where we hope and believe
the effort to cripple the university
will be defeated.
Hundreds of good men and true
have signed those petitions; men who
are not enemies to the Eugene school
but honestly believe the amount ap-
All Oregon City is rejoicing with
St. Johns parish In the official begin
ning of the building that will beauti
fully and appropriately honor the mem
ory of the founder of this city. Not
granite shaft nor sculptured marble
would be a monument so fitting and
worthy of the humantarian and states
man who made possible the settle
ment of the Oregon Country by Amer
ican pioneers, as will an institution
of learning.
It is a broad statement to say it
as Dr. John McLoughlin who made
It "possible for the Americanization of
the Pacific Northwest, and one that
is still the subject of controversy.
True, Dr. McLoughlin did not prosel
yte for colonists in the Eastern states.
and true he was a British subject, but
when the first American settlers
came they found peace and order
ready made to their hands, and with
out, that the first few weakened and
destitute homeseekers would have
fallen victims to savages, disease and
starvation.
Not only did they find the end of
their toilsome journey a haven of rest
thanks to the statesmanship of Dr.
McLoughlin, but they dropped under
a veritable horn of plenty held by one
of the greatest humlntarians in
Western history; humantarian in the
modern significance of the word, not
in the old doctrinal sense.
It is only guesswork to say what
would have happened in the Oregon
Country if Dr. John McLoughlin had
not ruled here for ten years before the
Jason Lee missionary band came. One
thing Is certain, if a militant Hudson
Bay chieftain had had the reins, Amer
ican settlers would have received a
cold reception.
The Institute will educate the child
ren of St. Johns parish in the approv
ed courses of study, and it will also
teach those children and all Oregon
the great lesson of benevolence ex
emplified la the life and works of Dr.
John McLoughlin.
It was a grand idea to name the
school after the founder of our city,
and the father of the Idea must be
like McLoughlin In some essentials
of heart and brain, to have selected
what he no doubt would have prefer
red if the proposition had been put
to him in his lifetime.
May the McLoughlin Institute grow
and flourish and be all the power for
good in the land that Father Hille
brand and Archbishop Christie earn
estly hope.
For the
Children
To succeed these days you
must have plenty of grit, cour
age, strength. How Is it with
the children? Are they thin,
pale, delicate? Do not forget
Ayer's Sarsoparilla. You
know it makes the blood pure
and rich, and builds up the
general health in every way.

The Agricultural department has
decided thut skunks are beneficial to

Ashland Tidings: The proposed
Peary North Pole expedition addition
to the curriculum of the public schools
of Oregon ought to get such a shock
as will put an effectual quietus on all
such schemes in the future.
The Strawberry fair would gain rec

of the Clackamas county berry. It
will advertise the city in which the
fair Is held. It's a good thing. Give
it a boost.
