To morrow, lit Senator Aldrich' country home. warwicK, u wiu D a brilliant ssemblag when members of the Ben I Finance Committee meet to decide I uiM the form In which the financial I blllViall be offered at the -coming ee ion or uongress. Tin garnering win Include, in addition to committee mem bers, prominent leaders of the national Republican party. Ijt Is riven out In advance that the distinguished con freres have practically screed In pre Tlous 'conferences upon the manner in which the financial system of the na tlon shall be changed, but that this meeting Is to assure that there be no Aleffrences later when action Is called tor during the winter. It Is true, however, that the virtual agreement as to the course that should be pursued does not mean that there Is satisfaction at that enforced course, for the Eastern leaders And It difficult to reconcile the contemplated legislation to the views of tnelr constituencies. It is the familiar conflloU between , the Atlantic conservative and the more rad ical Westerner. Considerations of nertr bolltlcs have moved the Eastern ers Mr accept a program that In their ovmlon verges closely upon what they VWm the "vaudeville In tyance," and Dot In keeping with their .Ideas as to ,'hat should be done. ' man. an. u4.. f The measure Is to provide: . Deposit of Internal revenue and cus toms receipts In national banks, i Aeoevtaaoa as security for govera- taoat faads of state, municipal and fciga-class railway bonds. Asset currency banks to issue circula tion up to 60 per cent of their capital stock, upon which they are to pay a tax pt I per cent. . The provision as fo asset currency IS the particular one that will be ac cepted with bad taste by the Eastern members, but to accept it they are forced by what are known to be the de mands of the House. Senator Aldrich does not like the clause, but In com mon with other Senators from Eastern States, knows that concessions must be made to the House If there is to be financial legislation of any kind. It is more than possible that some of the members will oppose that portion of the bill, denominating it "wild cat" banking, and although it Is claimed that no trouble will be met on that core. It is not Improbable that the meeting will be the scene of some stormy discussions. "High-Glass Hallway Bonds.'' .the feature of the. bill that will be Jhoet violently' attacked by the opposi tion Democracy is the proposition to aefeept as security fof government funds, "state, municipal and high-class railway bonds." It is certain that the Democrats, supported by a number of .Republicans who are rather Independent of party rule, will make furious war tipon this attempt to engraft' upon the financial system of the nation to- se curltles of the railroad companies. It is only the remnant of the original proposition to accept not only "high class railway bonds," but so-called ap proved 'securities of institutions such as the steel trust and other industrial concerns. It is expected that tls Aid' rich bill as it is certain to come from the hands of the meeting tomorrow will excite a course of prolonged debate, in which the .whole financial situation will be gone over and Issues fixed for the coming campaign. - Indeed, the Aldrich bill is not unlikely to Inject into the national contest the money question in a new form.

InOroer to Bring About Desired Conditions the People Will Have to Work In Harmony With the Men Who Represent the Capital In Charge of Construction of Traffic Lines, rx-Senator Turner's Tiewm, SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 5. Regard Ing the conference of the Republican Senators and other leaders tomorrow In Senator Aldrlch's country home near Providence, R. I., It is known here that ex-United States Senator Turner of this city believes it to be incorrect legtsla tlon, and that he (presents the views of the Democrats in Congress. He re centlv gave o'ut to the newspapers statement of tfls view of the bill as it Came before the Senate at the last ses Yiion, and that he said In substance: ."The proposition. of Senator Aldrich f iy accepting railway bonds as security If7vAeovernment funds is a nothing less radiifJ Innovation in finance than the propoml or the Populists a rew years ago to loan government funds based upon farm produce as security. The Aldrich idea is exactly the Populist Idea applied by those who assume to speak as the orthodox financial teachers of the rbatlon. It is not better in any partlcu Jar. Indeed, without endorsing the pro duce basts of circulation, we may say that that would be even safer than se curities of railroad companies, for It Is notorious that the latter are subject to Wider fluctuations than is wheat, for Instance." i' Senator' Turner's position is lndlca tive of that which will be assumed by the Democrats In the coming session. State "and City Bonds Accepted, WASHINGTON, D. C. "Aug. 5. Sec retary Shaw, on "the first of the month. resch4red his previous order . that would hayvcompelled the banks to substitute VCmment bonds for sta,te and city ecuruies that were accepted a year ago to relieve-the strained situation of the banks In numerous places. He will allow them some time longer in which to prepare for the substitution. About $30,000,000 was accepted at that time. Only a small part of It has been taken up. The act of the Secretary is inter preted as proving weakness in the situ ation that must be relieved by the gov ernment temporarily. The time when the Secretary will compel the substitu tion of government bonds to replace the state and city securities is not intimated at the Treasury Department. James Robertson, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Minnesota, has Just decided that a man Initiated Into the order within the last two Weeks is not a Pythian. .

"Compelled -by the arguments of trans portation economies, eventually, the Union Pacific system Will haul its freight via a line running down the Snake River to Lewlston, on a water level -route, thence down the Snake to Umatilla, thence down the Columbia to Portland. "Passenger traffic .being controlled by different-laws, the prime necessity, speed, the Union Pacific will continue to haul its passengers via the ' present line that runs from Huntington across the intervening mountains through Ba ker City, La Grande, Pendleton, Umatilla and down the Columbia River to Port land. 'It may be IS years before such changes are consummated.. But. some time, they must be accomplished. These changes will not operate to the disad vantage of towns along the present line, and they will continue their growth and the development of their splendid resources. "The great State of Oregon, great In nature's endowment and susceptible of marvelous attainments, has a future, as sured that will make the mere matter of hauling through freight through given town a comparatively trivial con cern. Out from the movement now started will come results so stupendous as to cause those then living to look back with an amused remembrance Of the fright that caused people In the year 1S0S to view with alarm' a proposition Involving mere application of the lr- refra ible laws of railroad economics, and the following of enforced procedure In handling traffic." Some Bail way Philosophy. The foregolag statement was made by a competent railroad man who knows the engineering features or the o. k. A N. system, and who also has accurate Information on the subject or general railway management His Interesting commeiff wojild possess added value to the public, but considerations or discre tion moved him to request that his name be withheld. A study of the map bears out his as sertions. The configuration of the coun try traversed by the O. R. & N., be tween Portland and Huntington, argues logically for finally utilising the Snake River water level route for handling heavy business. Freight traffic muBt fol low the lines of least resistance, it must take advantage of the law of grav ity when that is possible, and the law of rravltv helDs the engine to haul a train of cars down a riverside, while useless expenditure of motive energy Is involved In hauling a train across a mountain range. From Portland to nunungion is o miles. The Blue Mountains are crossed at Kamela, where the elevation is ap proximately 4.000 feet. At Telocaset and near Baker City are other hign elevations. From Huntington down the Snake River via Lewlston to Umatilla, i about 400 miles, Is nearly twice as far I as via the present route from Hunting ton to Umatilla, which Is 217 miles, But. to avoid crossing several high ele vations, thus effecting a saving In ex pense for motive. 'energy, it would be economical for the O. R. N. to build by the Lewlston route. No one instructed in the subject will doubt that in time the O. R. & N. will be hauling its business via the routes here Indicated freight via Lewlston, passengers via the present line. Hot a scatter of Sentiment. These matters are nqt governed by sentiment. No railroad company could continue to meet competition Indefinitely and oppose unnatural conditions, such as mountain grades. Indeed, the ad vantage possessed by Oregon and the Columbia Valley Is that it has this water level route that enables the haul Ing of greater masses of freight a given distance by the expenditure of a less quantity of power than Is demanded by any other rail route that brings traf fic into the; North Coast states. Witness an engine of ordinary capac ity hauling 60 to 70 loaded cars down the Columbia' River, and appreciate the leverage thi6 water level route ha over other lines that must cross high moun tain rangea. or build tunnels at a cost so great that the Interest on the invest ment decreases the- net return of profit below the living point. Magnificent as that system is. no one maintains that the Northern Pacific, for Instance, can haul freight so cheaply across the Cas cades as the O. R. N. can Haul it down the Columbia River. The Great North ern is subject to the same limitation im posed by the configuration of the coun try through which it runs. The Cana dian Pacific is in the class with these two other lines. It is simply the decree of Mother Na ture, who frequently dispensed her gifts with apparent partiality, and who in this Instance endowed the State of Ore gon and particularly the Columbia River Valley with advantages that can never be overcome though other rail systems labor for coming centuries. Nothing less innovating than air ships can ever roD this valley of its surplusage of nat ural advantage. ConoomKant Bailroad. Talrnees As a concomitant, and in a sense pre senting the other side of a controver sy, fairness on the part of the railroad systems must be assured, if nat ural laws are to find complete applica tion. Absence of sentiment does not In volve absence of humane- and generous considerations. The mathematician need not be cruel, the business man lacking In the finer qualities that mark the Ideal man and the conserver of right and justice. In analysing conditions governing transportation, we 'find frequently a dis position to await the action of some railroad company in dopg work that should be done by the people of the re gion affected. Many Western cities fall into the fault of desiring paternalism that has more or less cursed our civil governmental affairs. But, en the other hand, while there is a duty on the part of the people too often neglected, often railroad mana gers Ignore their obvious, duty as Con trollers of the arteries of commerce, and adopt selfish policies. If a people by virtue of location must depend upon a given corporation for their communi cation with other regions, the .company that commands the business owes quite as much to the community as the com munity owes to it The relationship Is reciprocal. And these comments are not to be cast aside as glittering generalities. They are apropos to the statu quo. The parties Involved principally In the present Issue are the Harrlman system and the people of Oregon. Their Inter ests are peculiarly In common, and their duties and rights of demand mucl the same. Interior Oregon. Oregon is skirted by rail lines. In the Interior is an empire susceptible of development scarcely thinkable by those or us who are now living. The railroad problem Is perhaps largely technical, and Is often Ulogically solved by many laymen who have not professional rail road training. Yet. the cool blooded truth remains that interior Oregon is not developed. and that at present there Is no prospect of Immediate performance of that task. Probably, the duty of accomplishing that work Is co-ordinate, the people and the company being under equally imper ative auiy. Portland, as the commer clal entrepot, has been derelict. The company has been derelict. Both are chargeable with failures to measure up to meir-piain auty. So that, the conclusion Is forced by processes of logical deduction, that the chief concern that should ene-axe the attention of the people of Baker City ana omer .eastern uregon towns on the main line. Is the development of the Interior, not the possible construction of a line of road that may at some remote day in the future haul through freight from Huntington via Lewlston and umauna, instead or via the present line. with the comparatively small benefit to those towns of watching long lines of rea cars rusn through without stopping and hasten on to the terminus of the road. What they need and what Oregon needs and what must come at once, Is the development of Interior Oregon by means or tne construction of rail roads. The Prime Desideratum. jnai is tne prime desideratum. It transcends in importance all other de mands that could be made of the rail road magnates. Compared with It, the Issue as to the route for through freight Is as a question as to what sort of neck tie President Mohler Is going to wear when he makes his next trip to New Tork.

The Kind Yoa Hars Always Bought Bears the Considerable amusement was created on; Washington' street near Fourth the other day when two or three clerks for cheap clothing store were observed plunging into as many cases of cotton- made hand-me-downs, and after tne clothing ctme to the surface pause to see Whether anyone was looking at them. Some weeks ago, with a great flourish of trumpets, the clothing house, which Is known as "Strain s," announced- tnat it would receive a consignment of Fifty thousand dollars' worth of goods from Chicago." About that time The Journal exposed the peculiar methods of this store and showed conclusively that poor people were being overcharged for cotton-mades. Furthermore, at a branch house of the concern, timber cruisers nrowled about and "Hub: customers were pounced upon and told fairy tales about timber lands. one man was caught for $60 and The Journal ex posed the gang and the swindle was stopped. , Strain's business .has been slowly but Surely dropping off. hence tfie ' funny demonstration of a few days ago in re ceiving the "Fifty thousand dollars' worth of cotton-mades." Three Strain boxes were unloaded on i the street under a few - tawdry decora tlons surmounted by a Cheap sign that read: "All Nations Day for Sales." An Irish flag was in close proximity to something that looked like the flag of England and several other alleged em' plems of nations were scattered about A few dirty pieces of cloth represented the red, white and blue. The first dive of an "All-Nations' clerk Into 'a box resulted in the un earthing of a lot of light-colored trous ers, the meshes of the cloth of them being visible at 20 paces. Another 41 ve brought out a bunoh of .peppery-looking coats of the cheapest quality. Other dives were made from time to time when a crowd of people would pass the cases and various styles of cotton-mades de veloped after each plunge. In all about $160 worth of Stuff was there, and the "Fifty thousahd-loHars' worth" seemed to have dwindled wonderfully. The lookers-on laughed and shook their heads wisely and remarked something about "Funny, 'isn't ltt". The people seem to be appreciative of the fact that one of the mof t notori ous cotton-made clothing places In Portland-is gradually being eliminated and congratulated The Journal on Its good work of helping to put them out of competition with legitimate clothiers.

Mayor Williams and others believe that it is the best disposition to make of the remainder of the fund, amounting to a sum exceeding $15,000, and today he appointed tne roi lowlng a permanent board of trustees to have1 future control of the fund: I. N. Fleischner, L. A. Lewis, I. Long, A. De vers, H. Wittenberg and W. H. Chapln. "I and others to whom I have talked, have decided that this Is the best method of disposing 'of the unexpended portion of the fund." said the Mayor today, ana hereafter when there Is any case of great need or distress, where Immediate assistance is necesRary. tne money win always be available. There are times, undoubtedly, when an Immediate dona tion of $500 would do a great deal more aood than four or even five times that amount a week afterwards. Besides, the possession of a large amount of money for such a purpose is a great thing for the city to have and we may be en abled to render untold good with it." Trustees to Have Power. The plans of the officials are to give the" fund into the hands of this perma nent board of trustees and allow them to make such disposition of it temporar ily as they see fit. It is possible that they will Invest It in some interest-pay-ins: proposition, where it will always be j ' available and still- be accumulating. In a few years, in case the money Is not needed before that time, it will greatly Increase by such a scheme of invest ment.
