Justification The almost unprecedented spending of $90,000 a mile to build the railroads up the Des chutes canyon will surely be justi fied in the course of a few years if the great events, the shadows of which we have seen tnis spr . ing, materialize as they should. Six weeks ago, Mr. L. C. Nichols took a carload of Central Oregon, alfalfa-fed hogs to the Portland stockvards, where they sold for tha topnotch price of the year in the open market. Last week Mr. Leslie Priday shipped fif teen carloads of Central Oregon cattle to the same stockyards, and sold them for $7.25 per hun dred, the highest price ever paid in the open market for such a shiDment west of the Rocky Mountains. Unfortunately shipments of this nature have been exceeding ly few up to date, but the record has been established, the oppor tunity has been set forth, and it . will not be many years before such shipments will occur with more frequency. The Portland market, on the other hand, will become more and more dependent on Central Oregon for the high ' grade of cattle, hogs and sheep When this state of affairs be comes recognized, as it surely must in a few years at most, Central Oregon will have come into its rightful position as an important part of the commer cial activities of the state. The quantity and quality of the sheep and wool and potatoes , and grain that are shipped from this section have long been known by those who deal in these commodities. Oregon wheat, grown on the dry lands of Central and Eastern Oregon, has stood the tests of every mar ket, and brought prices second to none. With the experiment farms established, for the sole p irpose of assisting the farmers to solve their problems and bring their ranches to the highest state of cultivation, with the railroads spanding thousands of dollars to present the possibilities of this vast inland empire to the atten tion of middle western farmers, and bring them into Central Oregon, with prospects of record crops in every part of the state east of the Cascade Mountains. there is surely sufficient reason to justify the railroads in pre paring even further to handle a vast freight business from this section of the country in the next few years over the two new roads up the Deschutes canyon That the officials who made the first investigations, and recom mended the roads must have seen these possibilities, there can be no doubt, else they would not have built roads such as they have builded. Let us hope that they will not be disappointed in this land, for the settlement and development of which they have already done so much. Let us also hope that other residents of Central Oregon seeing the re turns secured by these first ship pers for their stock will be en couraged thereby to strive to duplicate the shiments, thus completely justifying the faith and judgment of the railroad officials.

Necessary for choice, 539. are the parents whose authority and dicipline have been so im posed upon, or neglected, that it is practically a negligible quan tity. Such it must have been when they passively consented to the marriage of these chil dren, after objecting to the mar riage for more than a year. In the present age of hasty marriage and hasty divorce, society seems to have lost sight of the fact that . it is vitally in terested in every marriage. But there is an interest to society, which interest is recognized by the law-makers, as evidenced bv the statute books of every state. The state takes a hand in every divorce in this state, and when there is failure on the part of husband or wife to appear against the other in an action for di vorce, the state has the right to appear as a party to the action and fight the proceedings, in an effort to maintain and protect the legality of the home. In all states the legislatures have es tablished minimum ages, below which no party can enter into the marriage contract. In Col orado there is a law protecting minor's who enter into other kinds of civil contracts, yet they have made an exception, an parently,in regards the marriage contract, leaving it to foolish children, and more foolish par ents, as in this case, permitting children of such ages to be married at their own pleasure. Why this exception in regard to the marriage contract? It seems as thoucrh Judire Ren ' c Lindsay, who has done so much to protect the children, has -a splendid opportunity in his own city and state, to protect the home in this most important of all civil contracts.

On board were 2,100 per sons, mostly prisoners of war, who had been confined in Ander sonville and Cahaba prisons. ihe boys" were on their way north to homes and loved ones they had not seen in years. Weakened by prison fare and sickness they were little prepared to battle for their lives in the muddy water and, out of 2,100 on board, only 786 were saved. E. II. Frary. Special Agent has Arrived to take Charge of Warmsprlng Re-scrvvatlon T. B. Wadsworth, of Washing ton D. C, special agent of the Indian Department, has been ap pointed as temporary successor to C. C. Covey, as superinten dent of the Warmspring reserva tion. Mr. Wadsworth arrived at the reservation this week, and immediately took up his new duties, it requiring several weeks however, to transfer all of the property from the accounts of tne old superintendent to the new. Mr. Wadsworth is an ex perienced man in the Indian ser vice, having recently been con nected with a reservation in New Mexico, and cornes to the Warm spring reservation well qualified for the position.
