For the time beiug, the '-Man in tie Tall Tower" at Portland, is deeply con cerned in the baffling unoertainties in herent in the destinies of the "Centra! Oregon Railroad.' the line that A. B. Hammond i? engineerinj over the south ern renter of the state, to a terminus at Astoria, via the Klamath country, the Cascades, the Willamette valley, Yaquina, and Tillamook. He indulges in a wide range of artistic, interested and "fatherly" guees on the subject, tapering off with the wholly plausible concluion "that this line will be found to belong somewhere!" It does! For the purposes of its Pacific coast terminal business, it be longs risrht here! This is its logical and certain depot on the Pacific. This, of course, is the principal thing that it is desirable to know, and we offer the information heartily and ungrudgingly. We beg to contribute another bit of in formation, gratuitously, of course, but vita a quality of certainty behind it that will be proven in the near future and that K that the hacking behind the enterprise known as the "Central j Oregon" will not have "the co-operation j of the Harriman system." Having three distinct harbors of its own on the Pacific, it is not vitally easential that the npw line shall "have connections with Portland and San Francisco." though it is conceded that in crossing the Southern Pacific at Al bany, or elsewhere, for the sake of com mercial convenience, e'tahlish such traf fic conventions with the line to those two cities a may best suit its rates and schedules, but that it mu-t consider either place in a terminal sense and adopt its export business to the one or the other, is flatly absurd; it can well maintain its direct and intrinsic com merce, without division, or deflecting it over tangent lines 300 and GOO miles in length; and it can certainly, and will, indubitably drop its trans-Pacific car goes into the holds of the ship and Bteamers awaiting them here, without the necessitv of sending those bottoms over 220 miles of river to and from Itenrv v lews, me wen known New !

The Oregonian's assumption that the "Coos Hay road'' i a part of this plan is wrong; the conspicuousness of the fallacy is emphasized by the fact that the Coos Piay road is a Harriman line, and the Harriman interests are not iden tified with this venture. When the time comes the Oregonian will be cred ibly informed of the real and force ful power behind the only transconti nental system in Oregon that does not have to consider Portland, except in the light of an auxiliary point on its traffic sheets. Patience is of the es sence of the corning development to lie wrought by this road; there are no limits to the guessing capacity of the Oregonian that we know of, but pa tience it must have.

The letters were .'onfiscatrd and sent to Washington with a request for a rul ing. The government approved the ac tion of the carrier and said that nil mail found in any box without stamps or the proper amount of postage must be taken to the postoffice and held for postage. This ruling means that the owner of the mail box has no control over it. rj The immigration problem comes prominently before the public In the fact that all previous records will prob ably be broken in 1906.
