Tho obstructive policy of tho Hnrrl mnn system of rallronds nml lta mnn nfjors hnii flnnlly renched tho courts, tho North Unnk flj;ht now being on trial In JikIro McCrcdlo's court at Vancouver, WobIi., between tho Ilnr rlrnnn Influcnccn nnd thoso of J. J. Hill, of tho Northern Pacific. So far In tho caso tho Harrlman ngontH nro experiencing a most diffi cult task In their effort to provo that tho Columbia Valley railroad Is not wholly it paper lino now being used for tho oxprcss and sola purpoBo of obstructing Hill's work In tho con struction of tho North Dank road. It is not surprising that this Is tho cano, for tho well-known policy of tho O. It. & N. nnd tho Southorn Pacific lines Is thnt of rolnnllng tho dovolopmcnt of tho country, except as It may plcaso thorn to develop It through tho agency of their lines. Thoy hnvo been miv ngoly at war with competition over nlnco It wiih first Inlroducod Into tho Northwest; mid particularly havo thty boon opposed to tho Northern Pn clflc's nrogrcsslvo policy. TIiIh has already been proved to bo n short sighted policy on tho part of tho Har rlman Influence. In no other part of tho continent Is material development being urged with such ninnzlng rapidity ns In tho Northwest nt tlJs tlmo. Thoro Is room nnd business for moro lines than ono or two or, possibly, half n dozen; nnd they will bo built nnd operated, dcsplto Hnrrlman'ti dog-ln-tho-mangcr tactics. Sufllclcnt ovldonca nppcars nlrcady to hnvo been Introduced nt Vancouver to show thnt tho Columbia Valley was novcr Intended to bo constructed. Its nurvoys, curves nnd other Importnnt dotnlls of tho preliminary work tend to provo that tho project was not concolved In good fnlth; that It was iiKToly n bluff to obstruct Hill's prog ress. Tlio Ilarrlmnn ngentu conducted, nlmiinrly foolish nml unhuslncsBlIko negotiations nt Tacoina, paying enor mous prlcoH for real estnto In that city whllo overlooking tho fact that thoy linil not yot secured n means of entering Tncomn; nil of which Is ovl denco of gross lack of sagacity on tho part of Harrlman, who must hnvo di rected tho negotiations, or n deter mined purposo to embarrass Hill, whono lino had already Invested mil lions of dollars there. Harrlman was bold enough to bellovo that ho could noruru it right of way through ono of Tncoma'H most prominent streets, for tho effort was mudo by his ngents, only to moot with failure. However, prominent men In railroad clrcloH aver that tho Harrlman Influ ence cannot prevent Hill's construc tion of tho North Dank road; cannot keep It from entering this city, nnd cannot long Ombnrrass tho progressiva ndvnnco of tho 1 1 til lines. Tho North Unnk road will bo built nnd Its west ern tfrmnlus will bo Portland. When completed, It will bo tho popular lino, becnuso It will bo tho most direct and railroad tho most chenply oporated entering this city from tho fields nnd vlnovnr.il. mncM nn.l IPB nf ll.O If ,F .....n ...... .. i ... vnst Inland ICmpIro now being dovel- oped with such phenomenal rapidity nnd success, CAMPAKlN FORMALLY OPEN12D, Tho gubernatorial campaign was . most nusplclously opened by Hon. Jiunca Wlthycombe, tho Republican cnndldato for governor, nt Corvallls, on Tuesday evening In tho preseneo of nn Immense nnd enthuslnstio throng. Other prominent candidates and Bpenkers woro present and participat ed in tho rendition of a most Interest ing and edifying program. Dr. Wltliycombo was, of course, tho J central flguro of tho evening. Ills I EDITORIAL nddrcfls wbb enthusiastically received of men and women nro out of em and was frequently punctuated with ployment nnd nro without tho means applause and cheers. His appearanco necessary to enablo them to scorch was mado tho occasion of a most for It. Professional personB, especial gratifying ovation. jly. nro In e pltlnblo plight. The work Tho principles nnd policies dls- of relief must bo continued for months cussed by Mr. Wlthycombe as those to be pursued nnd developed by the chief executive of tho stato were applauded generously, evidencing tho fact that tho platform on which ho Is making tho contest Is extraordinarily popular with the masses. Ho suggested re- forms In somo of tho stato depart ments nt Salem that liavo hitherto been Industriously overlooked by for mer governors reforms which may bo Introduced and applied easily and simply. His address received most hearty endorsement from the stnrt. Comments by tho press of tho stato on tho outllno Dr. Wlthycombo pre sented ns what ho conceived his duty would bo ns governor of Oregon nro most happily complimentary and tend to show thnt n largo proportion of tho newspapers of tho stnto favor his election and will support him gen erously. There can bo no doubt of Cnndldato Wlthycombo'B popularity with tho moBBcs; and thoro Is good rcnBon for this. Ho is ono of tho most practical men In Oregon; ho is honest, straight forward, progressive nnd Incorrupti ble. HIb Ideas of stato government nro thoso of tho Lincoln typo, mod ernized on tho Hoosovoltlnn line. Ho hnB for two decados been Intlmntoly In touch with tho Interests of tho common peoploj ho hns served them In nn ofllclnl capacity has associated with them, iicqulroil n perfect knowl- edgo of their needs linn heard their complaints of neglect nnd fully under utnndH tho nature of tho proper rom cdy to apply for their relief. Thoy bellovo In him, trust him with their confidences nnd will support him bo causq thoy regard him iih t ho best man Id tho stato to bo their chief ex ecutive. Dr. Wllhycombo mnkes no proton-' nlon to bolng nn orator; ho Is simply a plain, practical, upright and pro gressive business man. His nddrcssen so far delivered clearly show that. His talk at Salom on Wedncsdnyovcn Ing to n crowded nrmory was received with unusual enthusiasm. There should ho no doubt of Hon. James Wlthyrombo's election ns gov ernor of Greater Oregon. Tho Demo crats nro moving heaven nnd earth to compass his defeat by combination, machination, canard nnd ovory other niso known to thnt hungry aggrega tion; but their plan of campaign la not popular; It will not win.

No matter how suro wo may be that a great majority, If not all, of tho Republican candidates will bo elected on tho 4th of Juno, every loyal Re publican will voto on election day. Thoso who do not cannot bo said to bo appropriately patriotic. This Is yi tho people's campaign. They havo been given tho opportunity they havo bo long nppnrcntly desired. If they do not mako proper uso of It thoy ought to bo compelled to forfeit it. Successful candidates scorn to havo emerged from tho primary campaign In this stato In a limp and languid condition. Only three weeks remain for tho work of tho election contest and yet, If wo may fairly Judge by tho Indifference of the candidates, ono would scarcely suspect that an elec tion Is to bo held this yenr. Either tho new primary law has taken tho starch out of tho. contestants, or elso they nro nil suro of being elected. It Is safo to guess, therefore, thnt at least half of them will be disappoint ed.

A splinter can be extracted without pain la this way : Nearly fill a wide-mouthed bot tie with hot wnter, placo the injured j;"rt . tho ,"ou1th nd, Press tightly. Tho suction will draw tho flesh down, nml a mnuto or two the splinter will come out Spasmodic Croup. Every mother should know how to treat tills, ns the attacks come on so suddenly. The child should at once bo taken up nnd put Into n hot bath. A teaspoonful of Ipecncu anlm wlno related If necessary Is often helpful ; this Is to make tho child sick. Spasmodic croup Is of nervous origin, and the general condition of the child must be Improved. It Is often associated with rfekets. Wash for tho Hair. For hair that Is dry an oily wash should bo used about onco n week or oftencr. It should be rubbed Into the scalp with a plvco of ilnnncl, a superfluity of oil thus being avoided, as only sufllclcnt Is used to moisten, not drown, thu roots of tho hair; the application of the oil must bo nccompnnled by friction with the flannel. It Is a mistake to suppose that dry hair will bo really benefited by oil being poured on to It nnd mere ly brushed through It. To do perma nent good It Is necessary that tho fatty preparation should be rubbed Into the skin of tho head; a very small quan tity will sulllce to bo of benefit. Tho Value of Salt. Half n teaspoon- fill of common table salt dissolved In a little colli water will Instantly relieve iii'itrtwini or dyspepsia, u inisuii every morning boforo breakfast, Increasing tho quantity gradually to a teaspoon- f 0f ult and a tumbler of water, Jt will In it few days cure any ordinary cafe of dyspepsia, If at tlio same time due attention Is paid to the diet.
