THE MORXIXO OBEGONIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1903. DASH FROM. JAIL Prisoner Slides Fifty Feet NDawn Electric Wire, MAKES ROOF BY SKYLIGHT Wklle m FcIIottb EBgage 1b Fight With the Guards, He Flees, and Is Still at Large. St LOUIS, July 6. William Rudolph, of Union. Mo., who has been confined In the city jail Beveral months on the charge of having participated In the robbery of the bank at Union last Winter, and who is also charged with the killing of Detective Schumacher, who was attempting to arrest him, made a desperate and success ful escape from jail at 4:45 P. M. today, and is still at large. Shortly before his escape today, Rudolph was let out of his cell to be shaved. The exercise corridor at the time contained about 20 prisoners. The. guards were en gaged in locking up the prisoners for the night when, as Rudolph passed through the east end of the exercise corridor, a fight broke out among the prisoners In the west end. The majority of the guards ran to separate the fighting prisoners, and Rudolph quickly ran up three flights of stairs, jumped to the top of the cells, and in a flash had swung himself by the aid of an iron girder to the skylight, and the next moment had forced the skylight open and was out upon the roof, 60 feet from the ground. Rudolph grasped an electric light wire extending to the ground and slid down 50 feet, when the wire snapped, precipi tating him to the ground. Regaining his feet Instantly, he ran through Sergeant Dawson's residence to the street and was gone. , STATE DENIES MOB SEEKS DEWEY. Strong: Evidence Given Why Cattle men Should he Denied Ball. TOPEKA, Kan., July C. The arguments In the case of Chauncey Dewey, Clyde Wilson and W- J. McBrlde were made be fore the Supreme Court today. They made application for admission to bail, pending their trial in the Cheyenne County Dis trict Court next December for the murder of the Berry family In June. The argument upon which the men based their contention for ball was that the kill ing of the Berrys was done In self-defense. They alleged that they rode to the Berry ranch on the day of the killing, and were in danger of losing their lives unless they acted quickly. They told of the previous trouble they had had with the Berrys, and said they were goaded to the point of desperation. , Attorney-General Coleman and his law yers made the contention on behalf of the state that there was no provocation for the murder of the Berrys and that the crime was committed In cold blood. In addition to the assertion of the Deweys that they were in danger of mob violence, the state introduced a statement signed by most of the prominent residents of Cheyenne County, including the county .officers, that the Deweys were not in any kind of danger from a mob. The state ment said that at ho time since the kill ing had it been impossible for Dewey and his essoclates to go anywhere In the county without perfect safety if they had so desired. The introduction of this evi dence caused considerable of a sensation. It la likely that a decision -will be made by the Supreme Court some time during the present week. It may possibly be made by tomorrow night. ORIGtNATOR OF DUEL DIES. Henry St axle Bcru His Brother to Avenge Hi Murder by Officers. STEEJLEVILL.E, JIo.. July 6. The street fight here Saturday, which resulted In the death of Robert Starks and the serious wounding of Sheriff Taff and others, has been followed by the death of Henry Starks, son of Robert Starks, who was shot through the abdomen by one of the Sheriffs posse In attempting to arrest the young man. At the Coroner's Inquest over the body of the second victim of tKe tragedy, it transpired in the evidence that young Starks was the originator of the tragedy. The lad, who was not over 20 years of age, .attacked the Sheriff and two deputies, as i well as two City Marshals, and succeeded in wounding them before he was himself shot. Henry Starks requested a younger brother, before he died, to avenge his death. Sheriff Taff is in a critical condi Hon from his wounds. Robbers Strangle Her to Death. DENVER, July 6. Mabel Brown, aged 20, was found dead In her house at 1931 Market street this morning. Her hands were bound, and there was evidence that she had been strangled to death. There Is no clew to the murderer. The case, in many oi lis details, strongly suggested the series of murders by strangulation which took place in this neighborhood some years ago. LONELY WOMAN'S WAIL. Prefers -Cheery Boardlngr-Hosse Talk Before Its Food. New York Sun. Tve heard of the wives of farmers in the remote country region who go Insane from pure loneliness," said the woman boarding-house dweller, "and I have come to realize perfectly well how that might happen. Many women who live alone sometimes declare that life in a boarding house Is loss lonesome than life in a flat or an apartment hotel, unless o, woman can afford to entertain frequently and have her friends around her. But life in the boardintr-house mav ho erttrv inmrh to the woman who is entirely alone. "If she doesn't happen to want to make friends with anybody in the house there is . only one thing left for her to do after dinner. She must either go to her own room or out of the house. And there will be many evenings, popular as she may be,' when there will be no occasion for going out. Besides, boarding-house women are not likely to be asked out very much. If they're young or of the bachelor type they can make up parties and go about to gether. But, left to the kindness of their friends, the boarding-house woman Is go ing to be very much alone. "I have sat In the parlor at night and talked with Idiots just because I hated to go up to my room, as I had done for three nights before, to sit alone until bed time came. I have played whist with such blunderers that I could scarcely hold my tongue, rather than leave behind the only society available. "It Is all very well to talk about self control and reading. Try two or three years of boarding-house life with the end less evenings In one's own room and the delight of reading has begun to pall even if one's eyes have held out. "If the New York boarding-house is lonesome, think what existence must be in the country. When I go to a Obardlng house in the South nowadays I never ask about the food or the beds or the comforts of the house. All I nsk is Who is there? Are they all old women or Invalids with trained nurses who go to bed every night at 9 o'clock? If the boarders are of that kind it makes no difference how the house may be kept. I wouldn't go there if there was a chef aB famous as any cordoirbleu. "But If the house is full of wide-awake. Interesting people who don't want to go to bed as soon as dinner is over, who can talk, play cards and do something to ena ble one to stay out of one's own room for a few hours, I'll go there, however poor the food may be. And so will every other woman who has Buffered from boardlng houpe loneliness. Poor food doesn't drive people crazy. But staying in one's room alone in a boarding-house will do that If my experience has been of any value." SCARCITY OF BABIES. Birth Rate of Portland at a Lerr Ebb. The birth rate of Portland is at a lower ebb of "race suicide" than it was last year. To be sure, there have been 49 more births In the past six months than there were In the corresponding period of last year. But if the next six months don't bring a more plenteous supply of new parcels of humanity, Portland will have only 100 more births to Its credit for 1903 than for 1902. If the city's population shall have grown 10,000 In the past year, the 100 extra babies will be as one to every 100 new residents. This is the old ratio of births to population, aa was set forth by The Oregbnlan some time ago. It shpws that the new residents are doing no better than the established residents of this city. The total number of births exceeds the number " of deaths so far this year by less than 150. This means that a city of 125,000 Inhabitants will have only about 300 more births than deaths In the course of the year. Without immigration, how many centuries would It take Portland to double Its present population? Last month births, were fewer than In June of the year before. The births re corded this year, as compared with last year, are as follows: 1003 1002 January 112 110 February 10 100 March H2 08 April 03 80 May 110 110 June 85 02 Total, six months .................. 646 507 July 103 Aupuflt US September - 00 October 07 November 105 December 101 1109 As usual, laborers brought more children Into the world than did any other class of residents.

FIVE MINUTES GAMBLE. In That Time Copper Magnate Lost $25,000,000. Stray Stories. In a grimy garret in a London slum there died the other day the' only man who ever succeeded In losing $25,000,000 In five minutes' time. His name was Henry Thlbault. For years prior to his death he lad eked out -a precarious subsistence as a trans lator and teacher of languages. Yet 13 3'ears previously he had been the prime mover in the great copper corner the col lapse of which shook to Its foundations the French financial world. Thlbaulfs lda was to secretly buy up the world's available supply of copper and wait for the inevitable rise. And he came near to succeeding. From his office in Paris he controlled through his agents the markets of Lon don, Berlin and Vienna, and in all of them ho purchased every pound of copper that was offered. The result was quickly apparent. On July L 1SS7, "B. a B.'s" (best Chill bars) wero selling at 200 a ton. By June 1 they had risen to $250, and the rise continued steadily until the middle of . December, 18SS, when the unheard-of price of a frac tion over $500 a ton was being asked and obtained. Then came the collapse. Thlbault hod sunk all his own money In the venture, all .he could borrow, all he could beg, and still from all sorts of old and unexpected corners of the world copper came pour ing In. As soon as he ceased buying, he hod, of course, to commence selling, and this hastened and accentuated the inevitable end. By March 1 the price had dropped to less than It was when Thlbault com menced operations. Altogether the gigantic gamble cost him $50,000,000, of which sum fully one-half was lost between nOon and Ave minutes past on February 23, 1889, when the bottom dropped out of his corner. A WORD FOR DAD! He Han His Faults, bnt He Can't Be Replaced. Stevens County (Mo.) Reveille. We happened in a home the other night, and over the parlor door saw the legend worked In letters of "red, "What is home without a mother?" Across the room was another brief, "God bless our home." Now, what's the matter with "God bless our dad"? He gets up early, lights the Are, bolls an egg, grabs his dinner pall and wipes off the dew of the dawn with his boots while many a mother is sleeping. He makes the weekly handout for the butcher, the grocer, the milkman and baker, and his little pile Is badly worn before he has been home an hour. He stands off the bailiff and keeps the rent paid up. If there is a noise during the night, dad is kicked In the back and made to go down stairs to And the burglar and kill him. Mother darns the socks, but dad buys the socks in the first place, and the needles andv the yarn afterward. Mother does up the fruit; well, but dad buys It all, and Jars and sugar cost like the mischief. Dad buys chickens for the Sunday din ner, carves them himself and draws the neck from the ruins after every one else is served. "What Is home without a mother?" Yes, that Is all right; but what is borne without a father? Ten chances to one it Is a boarding-house, father is under a slab, and the landlady Is the widow. Dad, here's to you. you've go't your faults you may have lots of 'em, but we will miss you when you're gone. In the Philippines. Letter From Manila in Boston Transcript. The Philippine Islands need standardiz ing. They have no uniformity in language, currency, weights, measures, climate, methods or customs. The United States is so wonderfully standardized that the mow ing machine which breaks down in Oregon can be set right by the insertion of "dupli cate parts" from Maine or Virginia. Our horses respond to the same words, our rails are the same width apart, our coins and our customs much alike from one end of the country to the other. But here In this little archipelago every term of speech and every unit of measure requires a local Interpretation. Seventy well-deAned lan guages and dialects are in use in these islands. One pueblo of 3000 people, from which a trustworthy Government messen ger comes, speaks a language all its own, and the people "know no other; they can carry on no communication with the in habitants of the next barrio. CUTS IN CANNED CORN RATE. ON IOWA PRODUCT THREAT ENS TO MAKE TROUBLE. Northern Paclao and. O. R. fc N. Co. Have Redaced Traffic Charges on This One Commodity. Canned corn, the product of certain small towns In Iowa, has risen to the dignity of a stumbling block between two great railway systems; not one that Is really alarming or gives any reason for alarm In traffic circles, but one that has at least had the effect of creating inter est in Spokane. Apparently the traffic In canned corn In the inland town Is a busi ness of huge dimensions, for out of a controversy over rates on this product the Spokane people have been predicting a general rate war and a collapse of all traffic agreements. Last year the Northern Pacific put In a rate of $L10 per 100 pounds on canned corn from Chicago, Mississippi and Mis souri River points to Spokane and inter mediate points. The rate stood between October 15 and December 1; then the old charge was restored. The Union Pacific last April made the charge on canned corn 75 cents per 100 pounds to Portland, and the other northern lines met the rate. Whereupon Spokane jobbers Insisted they should be favored with a 90-cent rate. All of which Is based upon carload lots. The Northern Pacific and Great North-' em made the $1.10 rate to Spokane ef fective July 1, gaining a few months on last year's record. The "Union Pacific held aloof and did not concur, but the O. R. & N. has come back with a cut of 20 cents per 100 on less than carload lots Jobbed out of Portland to points north of the Snake Rtver and west of Tekoa, not Including Spokane or Lewlston. Idaho. This gives a 62-cent rate for less than carload lots on canned corn, the product being given a commodity rating that the Northern Pacific does not like, but will probably meet. The O. R. & N. move was clearly for the purpose of protecting lt3 traffic out of Portland which the road feared It might lose if Spokane secured the lower rate. Moreover, the O. R. & N. did not like the way the Union Pacific was treated and took a little bit of revenge. Its new rate went into effect yesterday. The Northern Pacific will undoubtedly meet the rate, and make It applicable to Tacoma and Seattle, as well as Portland. In this manner it Is believed whatever ad vantage the O. R. & N. gained by the cut will be equalized. If no further move Is taken in the mat ter Spokane jobbers will really be 5 cents per 100 pounds worse off, relatively, than they were before they asked for the re duction in the canned corn rate. They have been given a 15-cent reduction, while the Portland Jobbers get 20 cents taken oil the local Jobbing rates. The disagreement between the two roads only affects canned corn, and there Is a unanimity of sentiment among traf fic men that no other products are to be touched. Yet the story of a growing rate war Is abroad, and will probably continue Its way until some one lassoes It and lays It away.. The Importance of the canned corn traffic can be estimated when it is understood that there are about ten cars of canned corn a year sent into Lewis ton. On this basis, about two tralnloads would supply all of the Inland Empire, the district affected by the rate problem. The reduction is not sufficient to give the consumer any hope of a better quotation, for it amounts to a very small fraction of a cent on each can. PLENTY OF ROOM FOR VISITORS. Reports That Yellowstone Park Is Crowded Are Not True. Assistant General Passenger Agent A. D. Charlton, of the Northern Pacific, has returned from a two weeks' trip to Yel lowBtope Park, thoroughly convinced of the superiority of that place as an at traction for Summer tourist travel, but Impressed more strongly by the unfounded rumors of the overcrowding of the park. "It Is undoubtedly true there are more visitors In the park this season than there were last year," said Mr. Charlton yesterday, "but the hotel accommoda tions and the means of travel have grown with the Increased patronage. The park botels are able to take care of all the visitors who are arriving. "While I do not know that this io the case, I believe the story of the over crowded condition of Yellowstone Park has grown out of the conditions at Yo semlte. I presume that some one .who spread the tory misunderstood the name of the park. ' It Is well known that Yo semlte has been overcrowded this year. "Probably as many or more visitors have gone to Yellowstone, but the park accommodations there are better, and the crowds can be more easily handled. Yel lowstone Park officials have been grad ually Increasing their facilities for years, keeping pace with the growth In the travel, and there Is no reason to fear overcrowding. "One thing that impressed me very strongly In Yellowstone Park was the condition of the roads. One could find drives in the park every bit as good as those In Lincoln Park, Chicago. The work that has been done to keep the park In flrst-class condition and the driveways In satisfactory shape-has been remarkable. "The westbound travel this year is keeping up better than had been antici pated. On the train on which I came home there were three coaches filled with Eastern tourists, who were making the trip to the Coast. This traffic has been keeping up all Summer, and will Increase rather than decrease. At the same time there Is a good movement of Western people toward the East, drawn there on business or purely social visits. Traffic conditions on all the Western roads are satisfactory-" WInconIn Lumbermen Coming. F. W. Hahn, of Shennlngton, Wis., an immigration agent connected with the Harrlman bureau at Chicago, was In Port land yesterday. He had just brought out a party of Wisconsin lumbermen, and to a corporation organized in Wisconsin he had sold a sawmill at Cottage Grove. "In Wisconsin," Mr. Hahn explained, "the lumbermen. In particular, are anx ious to come West. With the disappear ance of timber. In that state or the grad ual diminishing of supply that makes the Industry unprofitable, they have been compelled to And new homes, and Oregon is a state that appeals to them. This movement Is bound to be followed by the employes of the lumber mills, who must follow the plants themselves. The agri cultural classes are looking westward, and the advertising Oregon has been doing Is certain to have ,a marked result. I be lieve that the Immigration movement Is Just starting." Railroad Notes. R. B. Miller, general freight agent of the O. R. & N., has gone to Salt Lake. General Passenger Agent A. L. Craig, of the O. R. & N., will return to Portland this week. B. F. Trumbull, commercial agent of the Illinois Central, has returned to Port land from Chicago. A big party left Portland yesterday to attend the international convention to be held at Denver. Yesterday was the clos ing day for the sale qf low-rate tickets to Denver. Frank L. Blair, of Chicago, will open headquarters at the Union Depot August 1, as joint agent for the Western lines, to handle the business connected with the Trans-MlsslssIppl Congress, to meet in Seattle next month. Similar agencies will be opened in Seattle and Tacoma. The Astoria & Columbia River will put on a fast Portland-Astoria train, to be known as the Saturday Seaside Flyer. The first train Reaves Portland on July H at 2i30 P. M., reaching Seaside at 6:50 P. 31. Returning, the Flyer leaves the beach at 5 P. M. Sunday and reaches Portland at 9:30 P. M. BUILDINGS FOR CARNIVAL Erection of Miniature City by Wood men Carnival Company Arrives. Construction work on the" booths for the" W. O. W. carnival, which opens a weei from today, is progressing rapidly and the grounds are assuming the propor tions of a mimic city. The shows of the Southern Carnival Company are in the city, and under the direction of Manager Nat Rels the attractions will be complete as to1 every detail when the day of the opening arrives. The performers are resting and rehearsing, and will be In the best of fettle to make the various enter tainments fully up to advance notices.' On account of the enormous gains being made by the candidates for the honor of being Queen of Queens, it is difficult to decjde who the winner may be. Mrs. Jackson, since the last canvass, has re ceived over 1000 votes, and Miss Morgan 625, and others several hundreds each, the following being the latest count: Mrs. Emma Jackson S719 Elsie Morgan - 2544 Eula Bennett 1709 Helen Sauerman 1125 Vera Stennegger 845 Anna Phillips 719 Martba Lutschenger 310 Bertha Williams 325 The contract for the construction of the mala arch has been let to Ellis & Mcln tyre. It will be decorated by Ernest Mil ler in the best style of his art- The throne-room, where 12 queens, arrayed In all the splendor of "real" royalty, will receive the homage of their thousands of admiring subjects, will be a large affair. It will be situated at the cast side of a platform, 40x60 feet, on the block between Flanders and Everett streets. The plat form will stand four feet above the ground. The throne-room will be arched, and three terraces will lead up to It. The Interior will be gayly decorated, and 'with the addition of hundreds of electric lights will make an extremely pretty feature of the fair. The prizes for the candidates for Queen receiving the highest number of votes are as follows: First, grand piano from Ellers Piano House; second, elegant $lia costume from Meier & Frank; opera cloak from Olds, Wortman & King: gold watch from Lip man, Wolfe & Co.; $50 hat from Wonder Millinery Company; gold-handled parasol from Meredith's; Ane curio present from Rich's; Ane pair of boots for a queen from Goddard-Kelly Shoe Company; chalnlcss bicycle from Merrill's; $75 es critoire from Henry Jennlng & Son; a range from J. J. Kadderly & Co. Tho Southern Carnival Company ar rived here yesterday, and Is pitching its tents and unloading Its special trainload of animals and shows. It Is taking pos session of Its grounds on the North Park blocks and the performers will have a few days' rest, the first for Ave years, Manager Nat Relss says, for they have been playing continuously. The show Is in Ane shape, and has been doing a big business wherever It has appeared. "We will make good with the public and with the Woodmen's Amusement Company here." -said Mr. Relss. "We are slated to go on to Seattle, where they are pre paring to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the town and also a combined labor celebration, which will take place at the same time. We will have a lot of novelty features that have never before been seen on the Coast. We have 15 good shows and a number of rat tling good free feature acts for outdoors that will capture the carnival-goers." "The Woodmen's carnival alone will demonstrate the necessity for as many more hotels of a flrst-class order as Port land has at the present time without waiting for the great Fair of 1905," said Director Jennings yesterday. In speaking of tho throng of visitors who will be here within another week. "The outside crowds that will surely come to the Wqodraen's street uhow, commencing on coronation day, Thursday, July 16, from all points of the compass, will test the capacity of local hotels and lodging houses. Portland will see within the next ten days what a little energetic advertis ing will do in respect to attracting people here, and perhaps some of our capital ists will take a hint and build additional hotel accommodations. It Is significant that one hotel has refused to reserve rooms In advance for the week of our show." TURKISH BATHS. As Given In Tnrlcey Are a Surprise to the Foreigner. Hygienic Gazette. "About the first real craving that strike:! the unsophisticated American or Englishman upon his arrival in Damascus is the desire for a Turkish bath right on the spot where the famous bath was orig inated," said a traveler. "His next de cision is that a New York or a London Turkish bath is about as far ahead of the Damascus article as mother's pies beat the baker's. In view of the Eastern origin of these baths, I naturally ex pected to And something of a luxury- "Entering one of the Anest baths In the city, I was at Arst sight much pleased with the general appearance of things. Dog of a Christian that I was, I entered a large open court. In the center of which gushed a splendid fountain, while the scene all about was at Arst Impression one of an Oriental fairyland. All around the fountain on raised platforms were com bination chair couches, upon which Ori entals were lolling as only Orientals can. Some were reclining, some napping, some sipping coffee, some smoking the nar ghile!), some chatting, and one was going through the red-tape contortions required by Allah when the 99 Moslem prayers are offered. "As If to carry out the fairyland idea, instead of being conducted to a private room, in conformity with the views of propriety of the Western dog of an un believer, I was expected to disrobe before the miscellaneous audience; also, before the audience in the street whenever the door was opened. My clothes I had to store In a drawer under my couch. The publicity of the disrobing act was modi fied somewhat, however, by ihe attend ants, who, by the use of towels, formed a temporary screen. After this they gave me wooden sandals with high strips fast ened to the soles, which converted them Into a sort of high stilt. I saw no use for this contrivance excepting to further the chances of breaking my neck. With these stilts on I was taken to the N'hot room, where there was a temperature not higher than that of New York City on a hot Summer's night. After remaining here some time there was some slight rubbing and a deal of leg pulling and arm Jerking. "Desiring a shower bath, a believer in the True Faith aimed a garde'n hose at me with such a sharp stream that I had all the 'shower' I wanted In three sec onds. Then they wrapped me In a Turk ish towel and turbaned my head for me, and led me to a couch and bade me rest. I rested, wishing for an hour In my fa vorite Turkish bath In New York" City, far from the land of Allah, within ear shot of the clanking trolley car and In a district over which reigns only Sheik Tim Sullivan. "As a mere Idea of satisfying curiosity nothing can top the visit to the Damas cus baths. But, unlike the Turkish fig, the Turkish bath is not at its best when sampled on the spot."

PORTLAND LOSES TRADE CENTRAL OREGON NOW TRIBUTARY TO SAN FRANCISCO. L. Samuel Contends That Southern Pacific Discriminates Afealnat This Cltr. The entire trade of Central Oregon con tinues to go to San Francisco, and all for want of railroad facilities. L. Samuel, who yesterday returned from a trip to that section of the state, said: "The en tire trade of Central Oregon goes to San Francisco, for the simple reason that the Southern Pacific Company discriminates against Portland to favor the California city. Just to give you an Idea of the sen timent of the Klamath Falls merchants, Reames & Jennings, of Klamath Falls, told me they were very anxious to trade with Portland merchants, especially the local furniture houses. At the present time furniture Is shipped from Portland to San Francisco, and thence to Klamath Falls and the other Interior towns. The rate of freight is less than the freight rate from here to Ager, the point where the freight Is delivered by the railroad com pany. By taking particular note of the markings of boxes I readily saw that everything comes to these peoeple via San Francisco. Even the little town of Red ding, CaL. Is doing a jobbing business with the Oregon Interior towns, and the exorbitant rates of the Southern PaclAc Company make It Impossible for the Port land business houses to compete for the trade which rightly belongs to them. "I saw a traveling salesman for a San Francisco furnishing house take a $3000 order from Reames & Jennings, In Klam ath Falls. These goods should have been sold by Portland merchants. Few people In Portland have any conception of what that country really Is, believing as they do that It Is a desert. "In Bonanza I saw an Indian drive up to a store. He drove a handsome team, with a new harness and Ane wagon, and was himself well dressed. Arriving at the store, he assisted his squaw wife to alight from the wagon and then told the children to get out. They were all well dressed, the wife wearing a white shirtwaist and starched collar. The father's Arst pur chase was a dozen oranges and bananas for the children. He then ordered a bill of goods consisting of the best coffee, sugar, condensed milk, crackers, cheese, baking powder, canned fruit, chocolate and a large number of other staple ar ticles. I was astonished to see such a civilized Indian, but even more so when I learned that Mr. Indian had $30,000 on in terest and was making and saving a Ane sum of money every year. That county has 11,000 Indians, the majority of whom are making plenty of money, which they spend like Princes. The horse and cattle business is most extensively carried on and pays big profits. ''I raw a farm of 1100 acres, belonging to Henrj' Anken;. which In three years time has been turned by irrigation from a sagebrush desert Into a bearing farm of alfalfa and grain. "If the Southern Pacific would not dis criminate between Portland and San Fran cisco to our detriment, the entire Central Oregon country would be tributary to Portland. The people of that district say that the extension of the Columbia South ern Railroad Company from Shanlko will be the salvation of the country. "In Seattle, when the city Is dlsrlml nated against, the people stand together and they get everything they go after. The Portland people won't stand to gether. We let the business men fight their battles alone. When the railroad companies find that Portland means all the people of Portland then we will get everything within reason that we aek for." PHILIPPINE PROGRESS. Jlalrs In the Ixlnnds Considered by n. Hons Kon(? Paper. Hong Kong Press. Thi constant examples of American methods of municipal, provincial and general atolnlstration will tend to pro duce frorn among the natives acting at the moment. In subordinate capacities an Intelligent and highly trained body of administration ready for preferment aa opportunities for such arrive. This evolu tion will, cZ course, take some time to ac complish a nation like Rome of old, cannot bo beme In a day. Nations differ from poets in nothing more than in this they are made, not born. The policy best adapted to give fruition to these desires Is being followed by Governor Taft and the Philippine Commission. More and more responsibility is being laid upon the shoulders of Filipinos, Just as they provo themselves capable of bearing the weight. But, whilst this policy Is, . and should continue to be, popular amongst all fair minded folk, far-seeing as it is it cannot hope to meet with universal support. It does not. It Is Intensely disliked and bitterly opposed by the military author ities and their party adherents who are lacking neither in numerical strength nor In the power of making their votes heard.
