OLYMPIA, Wash., June 28. (Spe
cial.) The Washington. Railroad Com
mission has completed the task of as
certaining the unit quantities of all the
factors used in construct Ins the three
railroads in the slate, the Northern
Pacific, the Great' Northern, and the
Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany. This information will be. used
as a basts for rate making primarily,
and the tax commission will also use it
in arriving at a basis of taxation of
the roads. Through these unit quanti
ties, the cost of reproduction of these
roads has been arrived at.
The figures reported by the commis
sion as to the roads of the state are as
follows:
The amounts found by the Commission
as to the amount expended, the cost of
reproduction" and present value of the
roads is as follows:
Northern Pacific Railway Company.

Cost of reproduction of commercial, dock
md warehouse property. $550. ooo.
Market value of railroad property, not in
cluding commercial, dock and warehouse
proporty, f 16.5OCl.000.
Instead of confining its investiga
tions to the statute alone, it has extend
ed its findings to cover all unit quanti
ties, and the report shows the number
of acres necessary to be cleared, the num
ber of etations or square rods to be
grubbed, and the number of cubic yards
of earth, .gravel, hardpan, loose and solid
rock to be moved, and the overhaul con
nected therewith.
It also shows the number of ties
Tiecessary to be laid, the tons of rails,
bolts, track fastenings, etc., necessary to
be used; the number of miles of tracklay
ing and surfacing: the square foot area
of all standard buildings, roundhouses,
shops, etc.; the length of bridges, with
the particulars, showing the quantities of
iron, timber, concrete, etc., therein; the
number of feet of tunnels driven and
whether lined or unlined: the dangerous
trees cut along the line; the number,
kind and dimension of miscellaneous
structures, and. In short, gives every unit
quantity of labor and material capable of
segregation. .
Where the unit quantities would not
express the true measure of cost by ap
plying the prevailing prices, the amount
allowed for the unit or service is ex
pressed in dollars and 'cents. From
these findings an engineer could, ten years
hence, apply the then -prevailing prices
to these unit quantities, giving the cost
of reproduction to this date. Betterments
and improvements will be kept up by the
engineer of the Commission, and thus the
work performed will be permanent.
The testimony introduced at the hear
ing varied almost as much as It would
In the ordinary condemnation case. The
testimony of the Northern Pacific wit
nesses standing alone showed the cost of
reproduction of its lines tn Washington
to exceed $131,000,000; the testimony of
the Great Northern witnesses 6howed the
cost of reproducing its lines to exceed
$.7.fi00,000, while the witnesses for the O.
R. &. N. Co. showed a reproduction cost
exceeding $25,600,000, or a cost of reproduc
ing the three roads of more than $87,500,
00 in excess of the amount allowed by
the Commission. The sums found by the
Commission representing the cost of re
production exceeded the original figure
presented by the state's witnesses over
$10,500,000.
The next important subject to be taken
up by the commission is a division of the
market value of property found to be
uted by the roads for railroad purposes
between state and interstate business.
Under the decision In the Nebraska rate
case the commission cannot take into
consideration in considering the return
by the road, the. profit derived from In
terstate business.
- The railroads will be given an oppor
tunity to examine the findings and pre
sent argument, if they desire, upon the
correctness of the findings, or on the ne
cessity of additional findings, and as soon
as this is done. expert-evidence showing
the value of the use will be Introduced
and findings made upon that branch of
the case. This should all be accom
plished during the coming month.
LARGE YIELD. OF CHERRIES
Lewlston Canneries and Pucking
. Houses Refuse Fruit.
LEWISTOX, Idaho. June 28. (Special.)
L'p to date about 25 carloads of fancy
cherries have been shipped from Lewis-lon-Clarkslon
and Snake River orchards.
Cherry-picking and packing is now at its
height, and it is estimated that the ylelcf
of this fruit in this section will amount
to over 200 carloads. In the Clarkston
Vtneland orchards, it has been necessary
to restrict cherry-picking operations.' for
the reason that the packing-houses can
net obtain enough help to handle the tons
of fruit now being delivered. At the can
neries the situation is much the same,
two of them having been compelled to re
fuse fruit until they could get the large
amount that was In waiting through the
process. Orchards are producing 200 to
400 pounds to the tree.

SIB Id HOBO'S POCKETS
" MILLIONAIRE TRAMP " IS AR
RESTED AT HOOD RIVER.
Gives Name of John Smith and eays
He Has Been Slieepherder..
Money Put in Bank.
HOOD RIVER, Or., June 28. (Special.)
Since Saturday. Hood River has been
entertaining the millionaire of Hobodom.
In the person of John Smith, who was ar
restf.d here with no less than $1000 in
currency on his person.
The discovery that Smith had this large
amount of money concealed in his dilapi
dated garments was made by accident
by City Marshal Ganger, who was round
ing up a large gang of tramps. When
accosted by the Marshal, Smith paid no
attention and continued walking down the
track. The Marshal drew his gun and
brought him to a standstill. His actions
having aroused the suspicions of the arm
of the law. a search was made, and the
first thrust of the Marshal's hands into
his clothing brought forth a big wad of
bills of large denomination.
Smith was immediately placed under
airest. but resisted so strongly that the
aid of several men in a near-by flouring
n.ill was necessary before he could be
handcuffed. Only with difficulty was he
taken to the City Jail, where a further
search revealed that he had In all In his
possession about $1000 In currency. Much
of the money was In $100 and $50 bills
and was rolled up and wadded into brass
cartridge shells. The few dollars he had
in change was in an old tobacco bag.
For a long time he refused to reply to
questions except to say that his name
was John Smith. Later he stated that he
had been working as a sheepherder In
Idaho, near Boise. Since then he has
maintained a stolid silence.
His, clothing Is ragged and unkempt be
yond description, and at the time he was
arrested Smith was in the company of
50 or 75 hobos, who It Is thought, had
they known of his unsuspected riches,
would have dealt roughly with him.
After being placed in the Jail. Smith's
money was put In the bank, and, unless
the authorities here, who have tele
graphed the circumstances and his de
scription to the police of several cities
along the O. R. & N. Railroad, hear from
them by tomorrow, he will be released.
Improvements in Marshficld.
MARSHFIELD, Or.. June 28. (Special.)
Two Important improvements have been
started in Marshfleld. -The' contractors
have begun driving piles for the new
Chandler Hotel, and it is stated that the
building will be pushed to completion
with all possible speed. Another improve
ment which has been started Is the as
phalt pavement on Front street. A force
of men has been put to work and all the
machinery is here. It Is expected to.
have the pavement finished soon.
POLITICAL DISCUSSION THROUGHOUT THE STATE
Oregon "High Up in
Tillamook Herald.
If there ever was a time in the his
tory of the State of Oregon when fool
ing the voting public was the chief
method of the tricky politicians in ac
complishing their ends, that time Is the
year 1908. Everything is fair in war
and politics, we are told, but this mis
representation and duping of voters
has come to a serious point and now
that we have the initiative and refer
endum, it is going to cause all manner
of trouble and damage; cost a barrel
of money and place the State of Ore
gon high up in the column of stupidity
and nonsense.
Stop and consider for a moment the
means that were used at the last elec
tion to secure the passage of some of
these measures before the people and
the campaign trickery and misrepre
sentation used by candidates for elec
tion. Truly, it cannot be known suffi
ciently well to the whole voting public
for there are many who say "I have
no interest in politics," and again
many voters subscribe to but one paper
and a - f ew to none at all, and such
have either no Inclination to do their
proper duty for upraising the good of
the land, or have that foolish notion
that "my vote Is but one and can
make no difference." ,
If there ever was a time when the
safety and prosperity of the State of
Oregon wae threatened, it is now.
Foolish laws have been passed and in
a foolish way, misrepresentatlve men
have been elected by unscrupulous
methods and deceit, combined with
their skill as politicians, and things
have come to pass that lead a person
to agree that "there are more fools
than wise men." What are we going
to do about it? We are all in the
boat, but it does seem that son V of
the laws enacted at the last election
show a dreadful amount of Ignorance
on the part of the voting public.
It has always been the duty of
every man to take sufficient Interest in
politics to vote Intelligently, to search
both sides of every question, and to
get all the knowledge of an issue he
can. not only for himself but for his
friends and neighbors. It has now be
come more than duty the salvation of
the State of Oregon depends on it. and
If at another election there are passed
as many crazy laws, are elected as
many more unrepresentative men as at
this last, and we believe this last elec
tion will surely encourage every crank
to bring out his hobby for the people
to vote on, Congress will have to com
mit the State of Oregon to the asylum
for the politically incompetent. The
last election proves conolustx-ely that
people do not vote intelligently; the
fact that the two fish laws which
passed are completely Incompatible and
TO GET
CONTEST
Five Candidates Now in Field
for Congressional Dele
gate From Alaska. .
WANT PARTISAN POLITICS
Leaders Wish Party Man Sent to
Congress, and Party Has Never
Before Entered Into Contests.
Story of Warring Candidates.
SEATTLE. Wash., June 28. (Special.)
Tom Cale, delegate In Congress from
Alaska, Is on his way west from Fondu
lac. Wis., where he has been visiting rel
atives, to meet an ultimatum that he
withdraw from the fight for delegate
this year. With five candidates in the
field Cale will be served with notice when
he reaches Seattle that "Jack" Ronan,
of Fairbanks, the regular Democratic
nominee, expects to make good an old
pledge of reciprocal support and that the
mixed Fairbanks and Tanana country
voting populace does not want to be
Interfered with when It chooses between
Ronnn, ex-Judge James Wlckersham and
Major John P. Clum, postmaster at Fair
banks. The Fairbanks country from
which Cale hales, does not concern itself
so vitally with the regular Republican
nominee, John W. Corson, of Nome, as
it does with four candidates from the
same section.
Those who guess at Cale's actions with
tho best knowledge of the man do not
believe he will do anything before he
reaches Fairbanks.
There is nothing like the Alaska dele
gateship fight in any of the Western
politics and as the fight must be settled
this Summer before the other Congress
men are elected it has a peculiar inter
est. They are trying to introduce parti
san politics In Alaska this year, whereas,
in the only preceding delegate election,
personality was the only factor.
Leaders Want Partisan.
John W. Corson, of Nome, an attorney
prominent in Washington politics during
the early days, is the regular Republican
nominee. John Ronan, head of the Mine
owners' Association in the Fairbanks
Tanana country and a sourdough who
has spent years in the Yukon River
country, is the Democratic candidate. The
party leaders have sent word out from
Washington that they want a partisan
of some kind sent from the North and the
underwriting the two National parties
have given these two candidates may
figure prominently before the campaign
is over.
Cale was nominated by a bolters' or
rump convention which a faction of
the Republicans held at Ketchikan last
month. Cale was cutting wood on the
Yukon when a miners' convention held
in Fairbanks discovered him two years
ago and he was elected as a non
partisan. He proclaimed himself as
such in the congressional directory and
several times during the past Winter re-,
fused to accept a partisan nomination
for Congress.,
Cale Nominated in Rump Convention
An anti-Corson faction in Nome, which
had transportation, mining and factional
entanglements. was responsible for
Cale's nomination by a rump convention.
The story of Alaska political complica
tions is so involved that a complete un
derstanding is almost impossible. But a
fair idea can be had of the situation
when it is explained that proxy holders
for contested delegations from Nome,
Fairbanks and Ketchikan made up a con
vention that sent a contesting delegation
to Chicago and nominated Cale. Up to
the time the nomination.of Cale was pro
posed Seward. Valdez and other districts
"to westward" participated, but In the
Cale nomination they refused to join.
The National convention settled the
question of party regularity by seating
the delegates from the Corson conven
tion. Were that all, the delegate fight would
Column of Stupidity and Nonsense,"
both cannot be just, is alone enough to
prove it.
The Freaky Recall.
West Side Enterprise.
The most trying situation which ever
confronted 'a great people is that which
Oregon now faces in her complicated
election system. Viae men of the state
are beginning to recognize the de
merits of initiative and referendum,
but how to get out of it and back to
fundamental simplicity is the worry
of the better minds of Oregon. The
adoption of this measure was an un
fortunate circumstance to the state,
done in a weak moment. The folly of
it Is becoming more and more apparent.
Initiative and referendum are destined
to become the parents of our greatest
humiliation. The offspring is already
embarrassingly prolific. In that of the
recall, which was born in June, along
with 19 others, we have a measure in the
operation of which, when called Into
force through a, spirit of dissatisfaction,
malice, jealousy, or for any reason,
against an honorable and scrupulous offi
cer, we ought to find sufficient reason for
the arousing of public apprehension for
Oregon's political safety. .
But Here la Another Tune.
Coos Bay News.
The recall is one of the new powers of
the people which they have created for
themselves, and which is ridiculed and
scouted at and assailed as visionary and
populistlc and an evidence of craziness
by all the organs of standpatism and
vested or habituated wrongs in the coun
try: but the people of Oregon need be
neither ashamed nor alarmed at these
objurgations. They know, and those of
other states know, that in many instances
In the past they have been veritably sold
out by men elected to serve them. Many
public servants more in some other
states than in Oregon have proven mani
festly and in some instances notoriously
false to the trusts reposed In them. This
Is probably less the case now that if has
been In the past, but there is still need,
and always will be need, of the people
having within their hands the power, the
machinery, with which to put a clearly
unfit man out of office. This is a power
that should not be lightly employed,
should be but sparingly used; yet the
people should always have It ready for
use in any extreme case.
Democrats Throughout Virginia.
New Tork Sun.
A dispatch to a Washington paper sets
forth that "Democrats throughout Vir

nation of Taft in Chicago by the Repub
licans." This note of Joy is explained
by a statement to the effect that . Taft

be simplified. But complications really
began two years ago. When Cale was
made the miners' candidate in 1906.
"Jack" Ronan was his principal sup
porter. At that time operators and mine
laborers were working in harmony and
Cale was really a candidate of the op
erators, among whom Ronan was a lead
ing factor. So grateful was Cale that he
pledged himself to support Ronan in
turn, if the latter ever needed him.
Ronan Democratic Nominee.
" Subsequently the strike in the Tanana
country occurred. Ronan became a
leader among the operators and was on
"the outside" all last, Winter to employ
men and send them inside to break the
strike. At the same time he was here
Ronan had money invested in the Fair
banks newspaper that took such a promi
nent part in the miners' union fight that
it was boycotted by Fairbanks business
men.
Ronan was not a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for delegate,
but when it was offered him at Juneau
last month, he figured on Cale's sup
port and agreed to accept. The Re
publican convention at Ketchikan
which nominated Corson was held May
12; the Democrats met and named Ro
nan at Juneau on May 19. On May 25
a statement announcing that Cale had
decided to run again was printed for
the first time.
Now comes a statement from Cale
that he realized all along that he was
tied up to Ronan and that he really
did not want the job anyway. But,
Cale says, he was prevailed upon by
prominent Alaskans to enter the fight
and did not know at the time he made
his announcement that Ronan would be
In the race. Ronan haB started a
speaking campaign in Alaska, wherein
he declares Cale threw him down.

TIES AT SEASIDE.
Excellent Lecture Courses Concluded
by Men and Women AVho Have
Traveled in Many Countries.
SEASIDE HOUSE, June 28. (Special.)
Saturday was the last day at the con
ference of the Young Women's Christian
Association for regular class work and
discussion gatherings. Miss Southmayde,
of Seattle, finished her splendid course
of seven lessons on the Gospel of St.
John. Her knowledge of the Bible as a
whole has enabled her to fill out the les
sons on John with studies from both the
Old and New Testament. Dr. Brooks, of
Oakland, also finished his most enthusi
astic class work on the "Book of
Psalms."
Mr. Laflamme, of the student volunteer
movement, has divided with Mrs. Moss
man the mission study hour. Mr. La
flamme Is well known all over the coun
try for his splendid work among stu
dent volunteers.
Miss Margaret Matthew, who is soon
to go as a student worker to Japan,
has conducted the student conferences
for the last two sessions at Seaside.
Miss Elizabeth Harris, also of the stu
dent volunteers, has been in attend
ance at this time and has done a
strong personal work. Miss Campbell,
who is in this country on a furlough
from her teaching in a college In
Japan, has given some interesting
talks on her work in that country and
has added greatly to the missionary
interest.
The band of student volunteers, ten
In number, has held meetings each
evening. Mr. Laflamma has given
them a policy for the coming year as
the college work goes on. He ad
vises a meeting each week for prayer
and study, and strongly urges these
young volunteers not to set themselves
on a pedestal, but to be at the front
in athletics and all college Interests.
"We want missionaries who are the
pick of the colleges, strong, bright,
earnest workers, and we are getting
them."
Miss Constance MapCorkle presided
in the conference for city workers.
The BUbject was the "Religious De
partment." She told of Portland's
work in the Sunday services and Bible
classes and praised the faithful com
mittee work that has been done. Miss

have selected and that this seems to be
a year of Democratic opportunity. So
"Democrats throughout Virginia" are ex
ultant over the prospect of nominating
Bryan at Denver, and see the bow of
promise whenever they can lift their
eyes. But the men of Virginia who think,
who stand for something of real conse
quence, and who are- indispensable to
anything in the nature of a representa
tive demonstration, are not exultant over
the prospect of Bryan's candidacy. They
will not vote for him next Autumn. It
is even possible that a man like Taft,
pitted against so negligible an adversary,
may carry the state.
A Short Ena;.
The Oregon Mist (St. Helens.).
Worse disaster would have befallen us
had Mr. Cleveland been In harmony with
his party on financial measures. He
stood as a rock between the Nation and
the money fallacies of Mr. Bryan, and fur
this the country owes nim a tribute of
gratitude. To say that the Democrat'.-,
party has profited by experience and mav
now be trusted to avoid former errors is
a mere surmise without a basis of fact.
Whatever there Is of good in the princi
ples advocated by Mr. Bryan is more
likely to be enacted into law by a Repub
lican President, backed by a Republican
Congress,- than by the opponents of the
party that placed Roosevelt In the Presi
dential chair, gave its support to his
measures and now has nominated for
the Presidency his chosen successor.
Muddy Campaigns.
Albany Democrat.
The papers will now be busy throw
ing mud at Mr. Bryan, one of the clean
est public men the world has ever pro
duced, a man whose life has been con
sistent. The campaign for the election
of Mr.- Taft seems to be based on hit
ting Bryan. It probably doesn't dist
turb Mr. Bryan, but It Is not pleasant,
nevertheless. Nor should the campaign
for Mr. Bryan be based on throwing
stones at Mr. Taft. The records of the
men are up for consideration, and it
will be timely and proper to study
them. But it is time dirty campaigns
were stopped.

W. H. Taft has been nominated by the
Republicans for President and J. S. Sher
man for Vice-President. These were the
candidates of Senator Fulton, one of the
most prominent National figures in the
convention, who says they will be elected.
Jonathan Bourne, also -conspicuous, but
by his folly, says he does not think they
