The late John C. Miller, who
died at North Plains, Christmas
day, was of the sturdy typo of
citizenship which tends always to
betterment. He was a believer
in justice at all times, and altho
an intense partisan, listened to
opposition of opinion with an
equanimity that was commenda
ble. The world is always made
better by such men as he. Phys
it-ally, he made his mistake w hen
lie left the farm whereon he had
lived and toiled so many years,
like thousands of others who have
left a life of activity to retire to
the comforts of town life for
they at his advanced age soon
pass.
The New Years Orcgonian
came this morning, and it is a
symposium of all the best for
which Oregon stands. It was a
regular Chateau-Thierry as a
newspaper drive, and is a record
breaker as an expose of the Ore
gon country. Its art work was the
last word in pictorial demonstra
tion, aud every page sensed Ore
gon as she is, and as we ail love
tier. Even. the dyspeptic was in
It-rested and that s going some!
One of the knotty problems of
local interest is the telephone sit
uation. To arrive at something
equitable to telephone users so
that the big territory to the

service to the county scat is the
task for solution by Messrs. Bu
chanan, Sew ell and Sam Weil
aud the thing has bristles, which
ever way you look at it.

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms, mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products.
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion more en
gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter
minalsthere can be little increase in
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing and the railroads
must grow wilh it.
To command in the investment markets
the How of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and so increase production
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of railroads.
The nation's business can gww only as
fast as the railroads grow.
