verity to assure future obedience to the
law. I think It Is the duty of my depart
ment to foster a wholesome fear of pun
ishment among; those often and strongly
tempted to do what the law forbids, and
the department has tried in the past and
win try in the future to faithfully dis
charge this duty.
"Such well-considered measures will be,
therefore, adopted, after due considera

practicable, remove any possible danger
which may be thought to exist, lest the
present decision, as a precedent or other
wise, shall prove an impediment to ef
fective administration of salutary laws.

Prohls Refuse to Express Opin
ion In Public Meeting.
SALEM, Or., July 24. (Special.)
W hile he disclaimed any intention to
take sides for or against distilled
liquors, as compared to fermented, at
the meeting to discuss whisky vs. beer,
called by Conrad Krebs tonight. Rev.
Barr G. Lee, rector of St. Paul's Episco
pal Church, admitted that he is In favor
of temperance, and that temperance, In
his opinion, consisted of restriction and
regulation.
He favored plate glass fronts for sa
loons from top to bottom, the elimination
of the dive and back room, separate
places for the sale of malt liquors and
full and free compliance with the law by
the saloon-keepers. Rev. Mr. Iee ex
pressed the opinion that the time has not
come and may never come when abso
' lute prohibition can bs enforced. He
said that he thought 'that the men who
are behind the present movement are,
on general principles, on the right
track.
Conrad Krebs made a witty little talk
which captured the audience of nearly
1000 people. He said that "all we want
Is a fair deal we want the local-option
law amended so that we will have a
chance to vote separately on fermented
and distilled liquors. We believe that if
the people have a chance to vote whisky
out of business and retain beer, every
county in the state will elect to sell beer
end not one to sell whisky."
The speaker referred to conditions In
Germany, where, he said, everybody
drinks and nobody gets drunk, and ad
vocated giving American babies more
beer and less milk.
Colonel Hofer referred to the rela
tion of the sale of beer to the future
of the hop Industry and urged that
beer be retained.
Repeated calls for prominent prohi
bitionists in the audience remained unanswered.

speaking generally. With a smile he replied:
"Well, ea a man grows older, his mind
develops."
Then In the same connection he dic
tated the following:
"The corporation Is here to stay. It
already embodies more than one-third of
the property of the entire country. One
Jiatf of the people of the country get
their bread and butter out of It. It Is
the form In which the largest proportion
cf the property of the future will be
carried.
Let People Own Corporations.
"My position Is this: That the corpora
tions should be made so secure as a form
of holding property that the corporate
domain of the country will invite Invest
ment by the people. Just as the farms of
the country are distributed among the
people.
"I would like to see every clerk, every
mechanic and every other kind of em
ploye have a proprietary Interest in the
enterprise to which he la attached, and
this can be done if we go about the work,
of corporate reconstruction sanely and
constructively."

Bonaparte Dlscusse Probable Course
In Standard Oil Case.
LENOX. Mass.. July 24. Attorney
General Bonaparte, who is at the Hotel
Asplnwall here, today made the follow
ing statement with reference to the
opinion of the United States Court of
Appeals reversing the decision of Judge
I-andis in imposing a line of $29,240,000
on the Standard Oil Conipanv:
"I have read the opinion, it was sent
me by an attorney as soon as issued.
Any comment by me on the action of
the Court of Appeals would be. In my
judgment. Inappropriate, especially since
in some form and at some time In the
near future the Department of Justice
will undoubtedly try to obtain an
authoritative review of the decision It
M much to be regretted that, owing to
the unreasonable restriction Imposed by
the existing law upon the right of ap
peal by the United 8tates in criminal
iases, thla cannot be done in what la
obviously the most natural and most
tffectlve method, namely, by a direct ap
peal to the Supreme Court of the United
States. Since such la the present con
lltion of the law, the department must
sdapt Its course of action to that con
aitlon. "In my opinion it is of vital moment
that the statute regulating Interstate
commerce should be so construed by our
tourts that It may not be practically lm
lossible to convict lawbreakers on a vast
hack which dropped over the rorkv n
bankment at the boat landing here this
afternoon, -escaped from the nrHdent
without Injuries. The horses, while
oaaiy Druised and scratched, are not
seriously injured. The hotel taus. r
ccntly purchased at a cost of several
nunarea dollars, was completely wrecked

formation that the Injuries of Mrs.
Slaughter and her son were not so severe

Dr. M. G. McCorkle, of the East Side,
who was an eyewitness of the accident,
said last night he could not understand
why all the occupants of the over

Killed.
The four - horse team. evidently
frightened at thu noise of the ap
proaching engine, tore away, taking
the pole with them. The wheel horses
dashed away at a terrific rate, and the

ing the railroad company from enforc
ing the rate, and announcing that for
the next two years there should be
rates of 13.40 and 13.65 per ton. accord
ing to the points In Oregon from which
shipments are made.
The railroad companies allege thaf
the Hepburn law and other Interstate
laws are unconstitutional In that thev
confer powers of legislative, executive
and Judicial: that the findings of the
Commission may be brought into court
with the same effect as the findings of a
master In chancery.
It Is held that the original rate of
13.10 per ton was fixed to foster the
lumber industry of. the Willamette
Valley and to compete with water ship
ments. Now there are 250 mills es
tablished and no hardship is entailed
by water shipment.
An order to show cause is sought and
also a permanent injunction at the ter
mination of the suit.

Incorporation of New Line Means
Development of Virgin Country
on Borders of Two States
This . Summer.
. SAN FRANCISCO. July 24. (Spe
cial.) With the filing of articles of In
corporation of the Modoc Northern
Railway Company the extensive plans
for the development of Northeastern
California and Southern Oregon were
made public For three years the
Southern Pacific Company, through
subsidiary corporations, has been build
ing railways In that region and this
last corporation is only part of the
system of leased lines which will tap
vast areas of the richest land on the
Pacific Coast.
The Modoc Northern Railway Com
pany has a capital stock of $3,000,000,
divided into shares of the par value of
J 100 each. Its directors are E. E. Cal
vin, William F. Herrln, William Hood,
W. R. Scott and J. L. Wlllcutt. Ac
cording to the articles of Incorpora
tlon the Modoc Northern line will be
built from Alturas. Modoc County, in
a northwestern direction to a connect
ing point with the California North
western Railway, now being con
structed from Weed, on the Southern
Pacific road In Siskiyou County, to
Klamath Falls, Or. Those two lines
will meet near Klamath Falls, so the
entire length of the Modoc Northern
will be about 100 miles. Construction
of the line will begin at once and con
tinued until the road Is finished. The
line will open a virgin country in
Southern Oregon connecting Alturas
and its vicinity directly with the South
ern Pacific and with Oregon.
A railroad official explained that
these lines will form a network of rail
ways In the most fertile parts of Ore
gon and California. Most of the coun
try traversed by them Is timbered with
white pine, vast forests of great trees
covering the land, which is reported
by agents of the company to be extra
ordinarily rich. Many millions of dol-
lara have been Invested already in
railway building by these companies.
and the latest corporation, the Modoc
Northern, Is now making arrangements
to spend nearly $3,000,000 in construction.
