FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE CITY OF PORTLAND.
The good people of Portland have many ambitions for the betterment of the
city." The Journal believes In the exploitation of all ideas that promise. If
adopted, to make for the needed advancement of the municipality along the lines
of modern progress. In fact. The Journal Invites succinct communications and
Ideas verbally conveyed as to various schemes to make Portland a better place
In which to lira . i
Mr. H. C. Leonard, one of the well-known property-owners of this city, ha
a suggestion that comes in line with this position of The Journal. Mr. Leonard
says: , -
"I have inougbt thatlt would be an excellent idea if Portand were to adopt
the plan of compelling the laying of cement sidewalks, and that at the corners
In the cement could be placed the names of the streets. I point the people to
the adoption of this plan at the corner of Blxth and Alder street, and suggest that
everyone going past that point observe how easily the plan could be carried
out and how valuable it would be. Distinct marking of streets is more Import
ant to Portland just now than most people realise. With so many visitors com
ing to look over the country and city, it Is worth particular attention on our
part to make it easy to And their way about Portland."
The Journal believes that Mr. Leonard's suggestion is good. Cement walks
are conceded to be the best of all kinds, and Portland is great enough now to
warrant systematlo work In compelling that they be put in. The Journal has
pleasure in offering the 16Va of Mr. Leonard to the people.

be no need for Mayor Schmlts to in
vestigate alleged collusion between the
two, for It Is to be a fight to the finish,
with no fake knockouts.
AFTER GRADY'S DECEASE.
Henry Grady made the Atlanta Con
stitution, the greatest newspaper South
from Mason andLJDixon's line. He In
jected into It a personality that stamped
his utterances with the trade mark, ol
current literary market value. Whatever
the Constitution said when Grady was
alive, even though ho were at the time
In Europe, was accepted as the gospel
truth of the people of the South.
Qrudy died, and the Constitution went
on to print dally newspapers. In all prob
ability, U:ere was as much good bruin
work after his death as there was during
the few years preceding, bo far as
Grady's presenoe or absence was con
cerned. He wrote little just before his
death for tho Constitution.
The Atlanta Journal has out-Btrlpped
the Constitution, putting out a cleun,
newsy paper that has won Us way to ac
ceptance by the people of the South
because it has kept abreast of the
times, and has not the hamper of thi,
memory of one who was personally great
and who died to leavs as his herltago to
the paper of which he was the dis
tinguished editor only the belief that no
one else could make the Constitution suc
ceed. Great in life, Grady Is great in death,
yet that he was great, those who follow
him must suffer from the Impression
that the Constitution without him is a
Journalistic Bhip without a rudder.
The New York Sun, Charles A. Dana
being dead, is superceded by other and
more vlrtlo papers.' The Louisville Cour
ier-Journal, when Henry Watterson dies,
will not sell Its stock at 20 cents on the
dollar.
There is a lesson In the victory of the
Atlanta Journal over the Constitution. A
newspaper Is more than the expression
of one man's dominating thought. If it
-be what It should be. A paper that is
merely one man's embodiment partakes
of All his faults, even though It glory In
all of his virtues and excellences, A
newspaper is an Institution. It Is a com
posite of many men's good efforts and
thoughts and hopes and ambitions. The
publication that Is otherwise is an organ.
It is one man setting up his beliefs as
unquestionable truth. It is the very acme
of presumption.
The Oregon Dally Journal aspires to re
alize the Ideal herein suggested. The in
telligent reader will note the drift of
these remarks. He will know. If he
credit the sincerity of the management,
that this paper proposes to be a reflection
of the be y thought of this city and state;
to stand upon the broad platform of true
democracy; to be more than one man's
tyrannical Insistence that what he thinks
must be thought by everyone who desires
to be regarded as fit to remain out of
jail or the Insane asylum or to be ac
counted among those who love a common
country. The Journal hopes to be a
medium of free expression of all decent
clLsaes and creeds and beliefs und cults.
Whatever may be Its editorial views, and
it will have them and express them with
vigor, there shall be no intolerance, no In
timation that the fellow on the othei
side has not the right to live and have
some opinions.
PAY MRS. WAGGONER.
The State of Oregon should pay Mrs.
Waggoner the $1500 offered as a reward
for the return of the body of David Mer
rill, "dead or alive." Discussion has cen
tered about the proposition as to whe
ther or not the reward was to be) paid for
capture or finding the body. It Is not
contended that the question as to the
body brought to Salem by Mrs. Wag
Boner being that of Merrill Is a leading
Issue. The Penitentiary Superintendent
and Inferer.tlally the Governor propose to
avoid payment of tha reward upon the
theory -that. Inasmuch as she did not
capture the outlaw she is not entitled to
tha payment.
Tho reward wa offered for tha return
dead or alive of Merrill. The body was
identtlied as that of Merrill. Officials of
tho State Prison believe It to be Merrill's
A body was found as Tracy said It could
be found. There Is no reason to believe
that it Is the body of anyone else. All
of the evidence points to the fact that
Merrill was shot by Tracy, in a cowardly
manner by the way, in the back, and
that thero need be no longer doubt thai.
the companion of Tracy is not at largr.
If, as seems to be proposed by the
Salem officials, excepting Warden Janes,
a stand be taken upon a technicality, then
need Oregon never again offer a reward
as inducement for men to hunt criml
nals. They will desire to take no part In
the search. They will evince no interest.
If ever Tracy is to be taken,,. it must he
only by reason of the wish on the part
of venturesome spirits to earn the reward
that has been offered.
It Is Important that Tracy be captured.
Law is at a discount here on the Coast
just now, because one man has been able
to withstand the authority of two sov
ereign states, and defy a million people.
And the rxJ'usul to pay Mrs. Waggoner
tho money due for finding and returning
the body of Merrill will operate to dis
courage everyone from continuing the
chase after the other of the two no
torious outlaws.
The quarrel between Cleveland and
Bryan will make trouble for the Demo
cratic party. Squelch both of them.
BUILDING NEW INDUSTRIES
A new paper mill Is to be built at Ore
gon City, to add to the already largo out
put from that extensive manufacturing
point. It is but an Incident to illustrate
the steady Industrial development of Ore
gon. Never has a boom, cursed this state.
There have been periods of growth at
rates greater than the ordinary, but at
no time hus the movement assumed the
proportions of a boom.
Oregon has been regarded as slow. It
has been the comment of other states,
and there has been somewhat of. truth In
the assertions that this region was not up
to the demands of the time and was lag
ging lit developing the wonderful re
sources placed here by Nature. '
Perhaps It has been the better for Ore
gon. Perhaps, In the long run, it will
Inure to the benefit of the state. 'At any
rate, thero are few persons to bewail
losses through speculation hereabouts,
and tho people who have been doln
business in Portland and other Oregon
townsremain, content to continue where
they have been.
The present forward movement la as
suming what momentum It should. It
is going to be as strong as will be good
for the slate. People are stirred up, and
are ready to do ail that will be demanded
by the best Interests of the common
wealth.
Booms are not wanted. Growth, de
velopment, evolution these are needed.

REAL MEANING OF WASHINGTON
STATE'S RAILROAD FIGHT.
(By a Staff Writer.)
SEATTLE, Aug. 1 The fight for and
against the proposed railway commis
sion in the State of Washington Is mere
ly one phase of the weightier question
as to whether or not the local representa
Uvea of tha various big railroads shall
retain control of the politics of the state.
As a matter of fadt. the magnates In
New York do not care so very much
about defeating the railway commission
In other states, where such laws have
been effective for years. They know that.
in the long run, railway commissions are
not Inimical to the Interests of the cdm
panles, even though 'they protect the in
terests of the people. In some states.
wherein these commissions are existent,
the men who control the destinies of tho
roads would not abolish the commissions
were they able so to do. They concede
that they have Justice, and they ask for
nothing more.
POWER 18 SWKKT.
Here' In Washington, therefore, it Is
a matter of local political control by the
local representatives Of the big com
panies, while the men on Wall street
rtally care little what may be done in
the premises. For instance, GrosBcup,
long a political poo bah, dispenser of
soft snaps, does not want to , yieiu
the power he has possessed. That power
is swet to him, as It is sweet to all
men, if they be but honest and admjt the
truth. Ho and others of his kind pro
pose to retain hold of the political ma
chinery, if they can. They want the pe
cuniary benefits that accrue to them
through their political power. They do
not want to abdicate. They have ruled
with an Iron hand, excepting when tem
porary reversals came through the exe
gencles of politics. John L. Wilson has
been presumably representative of rail
road Interests. Probably he was at Wash
ington, when he was in Congress, yet
it Is probably true that so far as his
operations In the state of Washington
were concerned, the Wall street people
cared little. At least, these are the im
pressions that come to" one who looks into
the subject in talks with well-posted men.
BUT, THE FIGHT IS PARAMOUNT.
.However these things may be, the rail
way fight Is the paramount Issue here
in Washington. It is going to dominate
the campaign, relegating to the rear all
other matters as secondary. It was the
chief issue here in Seattle, when the
primaries were held a few weeks ago.
It was determinative of the fortunes of
the aspirants for control. And It caused
the victory to be gained by a younger
element of men who have the nerve to
question the right of the local railroad
people to rule the political roost. If one
may Judge from an almost unanimous
expression by the representative men
met here through the courtesy of prom
inent citizens, men nf various political
leanings, the Seattle Influence will go to
the support of the railway commission
bill and only to men who will promise
to forward the interests of that measure.
United States Senatorial candidates who
have Seattle's support must align with
the pro-oommlssion forces at Olympla.
favorable to the advocates of the com
mission. The real battle occurs at Ta-
coma September 10 at the Republican
state convention.
THE LOCAL FIGHT.
One fact is interesting Just now, and
that is the manner in which the local fight
was won by the pro-commission people.
They are mostly the young 'men who in
1896 worsted the older veterans in tho j
war of politics. They had a Very small
campaign fund, some claim that it was
not more than $1500. That much money is
small, indeed, for handling the big fight
that was on here in a city that claims
135,000 inhabitants. It should always be
ample, and would be, were all Improper
practices discontinued. But the y'oung
men won out,. and one cannot avoid a dis
position to rejoice with them for that
they relied upon the legitimate conduct
of a political campaign winning in so Im
portant a matter. The Seattle delegation
goes to the Olympla convention pledged,
as I understand it, to support the pro
commission program to the bitter end.
With Spokane County pledged to the
same position, two of tha chief counties
of the state are in line with those who
believe that a properly formed commis
sion will do well for the growing state
of Washington. L.
THE QUEEN'S PEONY.
A coronation flower is the Alexandra
peony. It is a novel and lovely specimen
of the plant, with a blossom like an open

larity In English gardens assures it a
vogue In America.
The Queen of England, who Is a great
flower lover, gave the originator of the

name. At the same time she requested
ijjrhat some of the new specimens be set

MILLIONS IN -THE WOOLEN MILLS.
Tha interesting fact disclosed by the
census report on. the woolen industry, in
addition to the tremendous value of the
annual product of the mills, is the de
crease in the number of mills and the
large increase in spindles.
The woolen industry has followed all
other lines of productive enterprise
toward greater centralization of machin
ery and , resources. The whole number of
establishments lp 1900 was 2653, a decrease
In number of 1C4 from the number report
ed in 1890. The Increase in spindles, how
ever, amounted to 25 per cent The total
capital invested was J392.O40.3S3., which
represents the value of land, buildings,
machinery, tools and implements, while
the total value of the product was re
turned at $382,473,050.
An Interesting; feature of the report is
the fact that Massachusetts Jumps to
first place In the matter of tho value of
production, crowding Pennsylvania to
xe'eond place The product of the Bay
State was valued at 131.041,537. while that
of Pennsylvania was valued at $71,878,

UTTLEFTELD'S STRENGTH.
The strength of Representative Little
fleld , of Maine as a probable candidate
against Speaker Henderson for the
speakership of the next House Is Impress
ing every one In Washington. The as
sertion is made that the President will
favor Mr. Littlefleld's election, although
It is not probable that he will try to
Interfere in any way with the organiza
tion of the lower branch of Congress.
Littlefleld's strength comes from his own
ability and from the weakness of The
present House leadership.
The members of the House have little
cr no regard for the speaker, while the
lieutenants upon whom he relies, Messrs.
Payne and Dalzell have been thoroughly
discredited. The feeling was general be?
fore Congress adjourned that any very
Important bit of legislation entrusted to
the care of these men would be likely to
fail.
The speaker himself, as has been told
in the North American, has attempted a
weak Imitation of Reed, but the men h
has tried to bulldoxe have not recognised
his authority and have resented his ef
forts. Llttlefield was the natural selec
tion of those who opposed the House lead
ership. Before the adjournment they
looked upon him as the strongest man li:
their' faction. Since he has been selected
by the Presidents to represent his anti
trust views in Congress every one rec
ognizes Littlefleld's leadership qualities,
nid there' is no one else talked of as
the probable successor of Henderson.

WHEAT IN WALLA WALLA VALLEY.
"The prospects for an abundant harvest
of wheat this year in the W'alla Walla
Valey are excellent at the present time."
said Judge 11. L. Sharpstein of that sec
tion, who passed through Portland yes
terday on his way to the seaside 'to spend
the month of August. "The people are
generally prosperous," he continued,
"and farm land brings the highest price
ever obtained, but the disposition is not
to sell. Contentment prevails among all
classes. I. regard good agricultural land
as a safe, sure investment, for young
men, especially, and if they do not care
to work their places themselves they can
rent to reliable tenants in nearly every
instance."
Judge Sharpstein started to Salem, 'Or.,
35 years ago from the East, but settled
down at Walla Walla and never reached
his objective point until three years ago.
When he visited the capital city.
Although quite successful In the prac
tice of his profession, the law, Judge
Sharpstein has from time to time
acquired tracts of land in different sec
tions of the Walla Walla Valley and also
in Sherman County, Oregon, all of which
he keeps in a high state of cultivation.
In the early '80s he had an opportunity
to take up a section of land where the
City of Spokane now stands, and which
during the boom days of '89-'91 reached a
high figure.
Judge Sharpstein has been a- staunch
Republican for many years, while his
son, John L., who is associated with
him in legal practice, is an equally ar
dent Democrat.
