"Most of the troubles arising with rallrosd companies." said Railroad Commissioner Frank J. Miller today, "comes from th fset that station agents are not as capable as they should be in the matter of performing their duties. , "These employee are more often the cause of prejudice against railroads than anything else; and because ship pers take a stand against the com- ( panics and condemn them roundly, leads friends to believe these shippers are good men to send to the Leglsla- I ture. So they go to the Legislature and ( every bit of freak legislation that , comes up which would swst the rail roads, they heartily surport." Mr. Miller believes thst many petty complaints could be eliminated If the railroads would Instruct their employes to hart the Interest of the public more at heart, tosethrr with the belief that the railroads are also unnecessarily condemned when they cannot be held accountable.

Or., May IT. (Special.) j Th question of granting a right of way for the Southern Pacific Company across state land at the penitentiary for the company's branch to Fir II one that will have to come up before the next Legislature. The company Is going ahead at pres ent and building Its road, permission having been granted by the Stat Board, according to Governor West, and whether the Legislature will take kindly to the proposition remains to be seen. There seems to be a doubt In the minds of some of the members of the State Board whether a question of this kind was within the Jurisdiction of the Board, the Governor, or the Legislature. The question was referred to the Attorney-General and the latter. In a ver bal opinion, says the question Is on to corns before the Legislature and that no one else has any right to grant away state lands for any purpose whatso ever. West Dealea Nothing. The Governor does not deny that he told the road to go ahead and build Its tracks. Further, h does not dny that the reason he held up the right of way aeveral week ago was to force th O.-W. R. N. Company to comply with his plans for th road at Shellrock, where a force of convicts has been at work. This road Is laid out along th banks of the Columbia River and is being ex tended toward Portland. The Governor wlahed the railroad company to move Its tracks far enough to one side so as to give room to construct the wagon road around th ledge. The company refused, and the Gov ernor called off work and afterward Informed the Southern Pacific Com pany that a right to lay Its tracks across the state penitentiary land would not be granted until the O.-W. R. at .N. Company complied with his wishes. "The matter at Shellrock." said the Governor today, "has been satisfac torily settled and as far as I am con cerned the Southern Pacific Company can go ahead with this track at the penitentiary. The company has been Informed to that effect and I under stand the work la being done. Board ef Trade Acts. 'The Salem Board of Trade presented a resolution a few days ago to thla office requesting that the company be allowed to go ahead. The proposition, being a fair one, I ran see no reason why the company should not go ahead with Its work. If the Legislature wishes to deny the privilege, that Is a question up to the Legislature. "The Attorney-General has said noth ing but what everybody knows that th Legislature only has the authority to grant rights to state property. "The Southern Pacific Company pro poses to build a branch to Fir and will use the penitentiary spur up to near the asylum grounds. From thence the oompany will construct a new track across a quarter of a mile of land owned by the state." TALKGOSTS LOOSETEETH SERMON AT TVRXER EXDS IX ATTACK AND ARREST. "Hell's Fire" Address Fails to Coin cide With Auditor's View and Strenuous Exception Taken. SALEM. Or May 17. (Special.) Because the Rev.

VIRILE" GOSPEL ADVISED Man of Agriculture' Bent Cannot Be Reached by Gospel of Negations Xow, Is Declaration of ' Iowa Churchman. SEATTLE. Wash.. May 27. The United Presbyterian General Assembly tonight discussed the report of Henry Wallace, of Des Moines, la., chairman of the standing committee on rural churches, who finds that farmers gen erally do not attend church, but may be Induced to do so. The report says: There Is little. If any. difference In the rural status of any of ths denomlnstions. The Catholics hold their own in th open country snd the country towns no better than th United Presbyterians. The decline so general in all the older sections of ths East, Center or soutn is aue to economic causes thst hav led to tne aecuna oi agricultural population and not entirely due to the decline of religious fervor. It seems fair to assume that from 20 to 70 per cent of the farming population of the prairie states belong to no church and attend none. Percentage Rons High. The congregations of the United Presby terian Church are usually in tne most mtei llsent communities, and here the percent asa probably will be from IB to 40; but ther are other communltlea In which it runs ss high as 70 per cent. About 40 per cent of the farmers have us for the preacher only In case of death and one in a while at a wedding. And yet these peo ple for the moat part speak our language; their children go to the same schools as our children, snd where they are oegen. rates oollute their minds. To resch this unchurched population, the gospel must be preached In the terms of farm life. This gospel must be a virile gospel. The man on the farm cannot be reached by a goapel of negations. He can not be touched by a man ssturated with tha "hlsher criticism." so called, nor with a goapel of Ifs and anda and buts. The assembly today took up tha re port of the committee on Industrial conditions. Report Discusses Ertla.
