find in computing the result that he j
would have had to earn during all this I
time the neat little sum of two hun- j
dred and fifty dollars an hour, which
to put it in the vernacular, would be
going some. It is also here pointed.!
out that the office of the Secretary of I
the Treasury would be no sinecure
should the government ever assume
. . .. ;
..ie uunMi 01 u.e ,tUu6 ' "au
system.
The total income of these roads,
both gross and net. In 1907, exceeds
anything ever known before. The
gross earnings are represented by the
riiizy aggregate of t2.6o2, 757,503, which
is about three times the income of the
government. It is twenty-six times
the nominal capital of the Standard
Oil Company and at least four times
its actual capital. Think of it, the
railroad earnings of the United States
for three months would buy out the
entire capital stock of the Standard
Oil Company. The net income is rep
resented by the tidy sum of $901,345,
CS1 which Is about what it costs the
United States to keep, house every
twelve months. After digesting these
figures one is better able to under
fought the attempts to subject them
to State or National regulation.
We can also appreciate the farcical
side of their recent attempts to in
crease their already colossal earnings,
first, by a general reduction of wages, j
and later by a general raise in freight
rates. The net earnings per mile w ere
t3.7o0 in the year ending June 30,
1907, against IC.5S0 in 190C, and $3,129
In 1905, both boom years, J2,C3S In
1901, another boom year, and $2,272
in the very prosperous year 1899. Net
earnings per mile increased steadily
every year, without a single break
from 1S95 to 19u7 inclusive.
ETHICS OF LAW.
For several centuries the lawyers j
of this country have endeavored to j
conduct their profession without a
code of ethics. Why this should have j
been is lnexpicable. Every honor-:
able profession has evolved one many :
generations ago. That the lawyers !
had none no doubt accounts for a largb '
proportion of the percentage of "dis-1
honest" men In the profession. We
are accustomed to regard attorneys
as men cf strict honor, worthy of ;
trust. Some of us have found that
the by-palhs of the law are filled j
with snares and pitfalls where the '
unwary are guided by the "honorable" !
members of the bar and stripped of j
their valuables, experiencing less ter ,
ror but with very much the same re- j
suit that obtained by the thug in the j
night who with deadly weapon order I
us to "stand and deliver." Therere
the announcement that the American I
Bar Asociation has come to the front j
with a movement to protect us and .
themselves by adopting a code of eth-;
les is hailed with i'y both inside and '
outside tho profession.
A committee of fourteen of the lead
ing lawyers of the country after ;
months, of deliberation dr-.w up the ;
code, whi'-h, after much discussion :
and some alterations, was finally t
adopted. The conduct of lawyers is ;
a matter of as much interest to those
outside the profession as to those In j
It, therefore there Is a right for lay
criticism of this code. ;
The committee aimed to state in a
body of rules the principles which, ac-',
cording to the highest professional 1
ideal, should govern and guide a prac- i
ticing lawyer. They did not attempt
to formulate rules the infraction pf
which, would constitute a criminal of
fense. What they did try to do was to
formulate a professional conscience.
The violation of some of these rules
will expose tho offender to criminal
punishment; of others to disbarment;
if others to expulsion from bar as-i their present navies while their next
soclatlon: of many others . to no pen- ihmr neighbor wields such a greal ad
alty at all except the disapproval of j vantage over them In sea power,
high-minded men In the profession j Hrall's ambition for a navy there
and public '.'loony, (ore may start an era of battleship
There ore thirty-two canons In the
ode. Some of these are purely pro -
I f.sional In chaiacter and therefore
are not quoted. Extracts from the :
others are as follows;
The law enjoins respect for the'
courts and for Judicial officers for the!
sake of the office and not for the sake
of the Individual who for the time bo- !
lug administers the function. it !
is the duty of the bur to endeavor to!
prevent political considerations from !
outweighing judicial fitness In the
selection of Judges. A lawyer may
i undertake with nroprietv the defense
erty but by due profess of the law.
Contingent fees may be contract -
ed for but they lead to many abuses
and should be' under the supervision

as the names of the Albany and the

bear evidence that some few years
ago we ourselves purchased two fight

K. M. Swiit. lio is promoting the
construction of an eoclnc railway
into the Molalla country, is accused
of salting a Clackamas County mine.
He denies it. of course, and his denial,
printed In this week's Issue, has all
the ear marks of truth. Let us not
he t.M hasty in our judgment of Mr.
Swift. He should have his chance to
interest capital In building a railway
into a country that would make the
venture pay from the start.

of D. C. Forbes.
Counter charges are made by them.
I.,.i ,k., ....... I., I..,i., ,!,, in, r l the
courts, li would have been the height
of folly for them to salt the mine, they

to Induce others to Invest.
"Mr. Swift and myself have lived
!r Riehiiriloll
t:liniy (.), ci,arB, against us are
foolish. We have been and are still
engaged together in many different
enterprises. Forbes himself Induced
' 1 , ,
us to put up the money and it was
an,(1. ,m his representations that we
,jd. However, we never had much
faith In his claims for the separator
j he invented. We took a lease on It
for 3'i days, and It was agreed that U
th machine made good it would be
purchased. Hut It never made good
and consequently will not be paid for.
It was to try to make us pay for it
Mr ForJH,s ,nat n his own
personal investigation he found gold
and that with the use of his new In
vention we could take out i"i"i worm
of gold per day. Now, he says, under
oath, that there Is no gold there.
"After trying to operate the machine
for several days. Korbes pretended to
get sick and came away from the prop
erty. His charges that we salted the
mine are particular)" absurd. We
bought it only after Forbes said the
gold was there, and after that why
should we want to deceive ourselves
bv salting It? We were not trying to
sell It. We are out about $W In
salaries, expenses, etc., and now they
want to mage us pay for the big. new
invention which never made good ami
which we did not buy. We paid
Forbes $10 a day while he was out
i there setting up the machine.
"This man Morris, whom Forbes de
scribes as an expert and w ho was sent
1 to investigate, denied, lu the presence
of witnesses, that he had ever made
such reports as were accredited to
him. Their charges that we did not
pav our employes is also untrue, for
the onlv man we did not pay was one
1 whom Forbes himself had employed to
stay there. All the other laborers were
' paid."
i J. F. Jones, who lives at Scotts Mills
1 near which the troublesome "mine"
Is located, says positively that Rich
ardson and Swift paid all legitimate
! expenses. He declares there Is" no
question that the mine was salted, and
i expresses confidence In his ability to
name the man who did it Oregonian.
FALL SEASON FASHIONS
are distinctive.
They .appeal
to the woman of taste and dis
cernment. Something new in
dainty creations is shown tlvs
year at the store of John Adams
who sells only new and stylish
goods that are sure to please
the most fastidious.
The woman who knows is
every year becoming more par
ticular about the clothes she
wears. She must have some-
besides a perfect fit. Her ap
parel must be pleasing to the
eyes of others, as well as to
herself, and further, the price
must be within reach.
The new store of John Adams
is the place In Oregon City to
shop. High grade materials
temptingly displayed. The hit-1
est styles and shades In fall j
dress goods shown. You should
not miss the opportunity of in
specting them, whether you pur
chase or not. No other store In
Oregon City has them.
