The long-looked-for railroad Into Cen
tral Oregon is at last soon to be built.
From Shaniko, the present terminus of
the Columbia Southern railway, south to
Bend, a distance of 100 miles, the line Is
to be extended. Work will begin about
the middle of next month and the line
will be completed Jn about 18 months or
two years.
"It takes quite a little while, said
President E. K Ly tie of the Columbia
Southern this morning, "to construct ioo
miles of new. railroad, but we expect to
have trains runhlng on the line within
two years. We Intend to begin work
just as sooi as the weather clears up,
and I expect we will-start about the
middle .of March. There is still some
snow In that part of the country."
The extension of the road from Shan
iko has been anticipated ever since the
line was first built. It.was thought the
road would have- been constructed before
this, but as the Columbia Southern Is a
feeder of the O. R. A N. Co. and It has
been understood that the company held
back in hopes that the Harriman people
would buy the road. . The price asked
was intimated by an O. R. ft N. official
to have been too much.
The region to be opened to the outside
world by the Columbia, Southern is di
rectly through the targes t woolgrowlng
region in the United States. 'Annually
B. 000,000 tons of wool is shipped from
Ehaniko. . The land of Central Oregon

resented and at 1 o'clock a. m when
the morning papers' released their staffs
all the newspapers published here were
accounted for-through the "men of the

over 400 people from midnight till dawn
and there was not a dull moment during
all that time. Miss Russell wal de-
lighted with the reception and . on re
ceiving a gold key to the club portal
she expressed her thanks to the journal
ists for ' the delightful entertainment
they bad afforded her. '. r-
The Transport SerTioe.
The army transport service is won
dering whether It will be called upon t
put on a number of vessels to transport
troops and marines to the Philippines.
While the officials in charge have not
received direct orders from Washington,
many of them admit that It is evident
to them that the government Is prepar
ing to send more men to the island and
to offer some of '. the ships that, are
available to the navy - department for
the . purpose of sending marines to
Cavite. U is known that the situation
in the Philippines does not justify this
and' It is surmised that, the intention
is to. keep a larger force at the islands
that they may be available should
trouble occur in the far east that might
involve the United States. There has
been a deal of activity at army head
quarters and all of the troops at the
Presidio are being drilled with a con
stancy that the men cannot understand.
The heavy coast batteries are manned
and operated by alternating detach
ments of coast artillerymen that all
mav understand thorouehlv the work-H
ings of the big guns. Barracks have
been Inspected and there is talk of en
larging some of the quarters, which is
sfgniAcant in view. of the statement re
cently Issued from Washington that
troops would be scattered among the
posts of the country and not held any
longer than necessary at San Francisco.
It Is thought that, the Buford. now
under1 'orders to proceed to Portland for
lumber and forage, may be turned over,
to the navy department - when she fin
ishes her voyage to Manila.
War Causes mil Trade.
The war in the Orient has caused
some dullness In business circles here,
but-merohantsll-eem to- be-of - the
opinion that the effect of the struggle
between Japan and, Russia will not be
serious. In the end, they say, the war
will help the Pacific coast, especially if
Japan is victorious. Real estate trans
actions show an increase over last year
and there have been a number of sales
of large properties. Building operations
have not fallen off, but most of the con
struction is confined to small homes
and stone buildings In sections removed
from the center of the city.., There -are
a number of big building contracts to
be carried out contingent upon the price
of material and the status of the labor
market - Spring will show a big In
crease In building permits Issued.
Building Industry. -
. There are several millions of dollars
worth of large buildings under construc
tion that will not be ready for occupancy
for, 10 months or a year.. The new
Merchants' Exchange, that will also be
the home of the Southern Pacific com
pany, will be completed In January, 190S,
and the Fatrmount hotel will be ready
to receive guests about the same time.
James Flood's magnificent structure on
the site of the old Baldwin hotel at
Market and Powell is receiving the in
terior finish and Is pronounced one of
the handsomest specimens of architec
ture in the west The hotel St Francis
is ready for the furnishers and will be
opened In' the summer. The Paclflo
Union club cannot occupy their new club
house before next winter. The famous
Bohemian club has purchased a piece of
property 'at the corner of Mason and
Post, streets and will erect the most
unique club '; house In the city. Plans
are' now being drawn. A great deal of
complaint has- been made of the Inac
tivity of "the Hellman syndicate in the
matter of improving their. Market street
property, which is an eyesore and a
menace, because of its flimsy character,
to the fine structures that have been
built, in the vicinity.

Before we go any farther It might be
profitable for you to know a little some
thing about, the country we -call India,
the character of Its population, and the
plan of government, because it is neces
sary to have that knowledge in order
to understand certain t matters - about
which I Intend to write. : What surprises
one most for a few days after arrival
Is his own Ignorance and misapprehen
sion, and he is compelled to discard and
abandon most of the ideas he brought
with him and begin again upon a new
basin to study,. the situation. 1
The first impression or India Is .its
vastness and Its variety, . Few travelers
have even a alight conception of either
fact until they are brought face to face
with them; and. to a. newspaper writer
both are so bewildering that, he is per
plexed where to begin and what to talk
about first. ' .!.-.'
1 India is a great triangle,. ,1,900 mlles
across Its greatesc length and an equal
distance across its greatest breadth. It
extends from a region qf perpetual snow
in the Himalayas, almost to the equa
tor. The superficial area is 1,766,642
square miles, and you can understand
better what that means when I tell you
that the irnlted States has an area of
2,970,230 square miles, without counting
Alaska or Hawaii; India Is . about as
large as that portion of the United
States lying east of a line drawn south
ward along the- western "boundary of the
DakotSs, Kansas and Texas.
.The population of India is 224,261,056,
or about one-fifth of the human race, and
if comprises more than 100 distinct na
tions and peoples In every grade of civ
ilization, from absolute savages to the
most complete and complex commercial
and social organizations. It has every
variety of climate, . from the tropical
humidity of the Jungles along the south
ern coast to the frigid cold of the moun
tains; peaks of ice, reefs of coral. Im
penetrable forests and bleak, treeless
plains. One portion of its territory re
cords the greatest rainfall of any spot
on earth, another of several hundred
thousand square miles is seldom watered
with a drop of rain and is entirely de
pendent for moisture upon the melting
snows of the mountains. Twelve thou
sand different kinds or animals are
enumerated in lis fauna. 28.000 plants in
Its flora, and the statistical survey pre
pared by the government fills 12S vol
umes of the sixe of our census reports.
. One hundred and eighteen distinct lan
guages are spoken in various parts of
India, and 69 of these languages are
spoken by more than ' 100,000 people
each. There are a large number of other
languages and dialects spoken by differ
ent tribes and clans of less than 100,000
population, and to reach them the British
Bible society has published the whole
or parts of the Holy Scriptures In 42
languages, which reach-120,000,000-peo
pie, but leave 74,000,000 without the
Holy Word. In drder to- give the Bible
to the remainder of 'the population of
Ihdla it would be necessary to prepare
108 additional translations, which the
society has n'o money and no men to
perform, i From . that liftle statement
some conception of the variety of the
people may be obtained, because each of
the tribes and clans has its own distinct
organisation and Individuality, and each
is practically a separate nation.
The province of Bengal, for example,
is nearly as large as the North Atlantio
eta tea .combined, and contains 122.468
square miles. The province of Rajpu
tana is even larger, and has an area of
127.541 square miles. Bengal has a pop
ulation of .74,744,886. almost as great
as that fit the entire United States.
Madras Jfias a population of 88,000,000,
and the central provinces 47.000.000,
while several of the 160 different stacii
Into which India Is divided have more
than 10.000.000.
The population is divided according to
religions as follows:

It will be interesting to know that of
the Christians enumerated at the lain
census 1.202,039 were Roman Catholics,
453,612 belonged to the established
Church of England, 322,588 were ortho
dox Greeks, 220,863 were Baptists, 155,
455 Lutherans, 63,829 Presbyterians, and
167,847 put themselves down as Protes
tants without giving tne sect to which
they adhere.
The foreign population of India is
very small. The British-born number
only 96.653; 104,683 were born In Europe,
and only 641,864 out of nearly 300.000.-
000 were born outside the boundaries of
India. '.
India consists of four separate and
well-defined regions: the jungles of the
coast and the vast tract of country
known as the Deccan, which make up
the southern half of the territory; the
great plain which stretcnes southward
from the Himalayas and constitutes
what was formerly known as Hindustan,
and a three-sided table land which lies
between in the center of the empire and
is drained by a thousand rivers, which
carry the water off as fast as It falls
and leave but little to refresh the earth.
This is usually the country of famine,
but the government Is pushing the irri
gation system so rapidly that before
many years the danger from 'that source
will be much diminished. .
The whole of Southern India, accord
ing to the geologists', was once covered
by a great forest, and indeed there are
still 66,305,506 acres in trees which are
carefully protected. The black soil' of
that region Is proverbial for Its fertility
and produces cotton, sugar cane, rice
and other tropical and semi-tropical
plants with an abundance surpassed by
no other region. The fruit-bearing
palms require a Chapter to themselves
and are a source of surprising wealth.
According to the latest census the
enormous area of 646,224,9(4 acres is
under cultivation, which is an average
of nearly two acres per capita of population,-
and probably two-thirds of it
was actually cropped. About one-fourth
of this area Is under Irrigation and more
than 22,000,000 acres produce two crops
a year.
As many as 171,735,000 people are
wholly engaged In agriculture; 26,4(8,000
are more or less employed upon farms;
3,646.000 are engaged in raising cattle;
14.676.000 In producing food and drink;
11,220 are servants in households; 12.
(11.000 are engaged In the manufacture
of textiles; 2,3(1,000 are In the manu
facture of glass, pottery and stoneware;
1,285,000 in manufacturing leather;
4,293,000' In the manufacture of wood.
cane and matting; 6.(72,000 belong to
the learned professions; 664.000 are in
the military service,, either as soldiers
or in other capacities; 5,800,000 are em
ployed by the Imperial state and local
administrations; and the enormous num
ber tif 1.663.000, which la equal to the
population of half our states,, are in
what the census terms, 'disreputable'
occupations.
Another startling fact Is that out of
a total of 140.496.136 women In India!
only 543,496 art able to read tad writs;
and 197,(62 are under instruction, the
great majority of them in missionary
schools. The total "number of illiter
ates recorded Is 248,546,176. leaving. 47.

Referring again to the languages the

There are 2,148 cities in India with
more than 5,000 population, and 31 with
more than 100,000 population. The largest
Is Calcutta, which, ascending to the. cen
sus of 1901, has 1,125,400 people; Bombay
has 776,006 and Madras 609,346. .
Few countries have, such an enormous
birth rate and death rate. Nowhere else
are babies born In such enormous num
bers, and nowhere does dath reap such
awful harvests. Sometimes ' a ' single
famine or plague, sweeps millions Into
eternity, and tbolr absence Is scarcely
noticed. Befor the present - sanitary
regulations and Inspections were Intro
duced the death rate was nearly double;
what it .is , now; indeed, some experts
estimate that it must have been several
times as great, because no records were
kept ' In some of the provinces, and in
most.o'f them, they were (incomplete and
inaccurate. India is now In a healthier
condition than ever before, and yet the
death rate varies from 31.10 per 1,000 in
the cold provinces of Agra and Oudh to
82.7 per 1,000 In the tropical regions of
Behar. : In Bombay last year the rate
was 70.07 per 1,000; in the central prlvlnces
66.75; in the Punjab, which has a wide
area In northwestern India, It . was 47.7
and In Bengal 36.63.
The birth rate Is almost as large, the
following table being reported from the
principal provinces named:

I venture to say that no othr country
shows such an enormous birth rate as
Ihdla.
Notwithstanding the crowded condi
tion of the country and the density of the
population, ' which is 167, to the square
mil9forihe ..entire empire, mountain,
desert and Jungle, as agatnat 21.4 in the
United States, the people of India love
their wretched homes and few can be
Induced to leave them. The largest im
migration ever known in any one year
was in 1901, when the total reached only
34,147, and tne greater, part of these were
induced to go to Uganda, Africa, to work
upon a railway; and it Is asserted that
the greater part Of them have already
returned to their homes. The average
annual immigration for the last 10 years
has been less than-10,000.'
Bengal, the province of which Calcutta
Is the capital, on the astern coast of In
dia, is the most densely populated, hav
ing 688 people to the square mile. Behar
in the south has 548, Oudh In the north
631; Agra, also In the north, 419 and Bom
bay 202.
Some parts of India have a larger popu
lation to the acre than any other part of
the world.. The peasants, or coolies, as
they are called, are born and live and
die like animals. Indeed animals never
are so closely herded together, or live
such miserable, wretched lives. In 1900
64,600.000 people were more or less affected
by the famine, and 6,607,000 were fed by
the government for several months,
simply because there was no other way
for them to obtain food. There was no
labor they could perform for wages, and
those who were fortunate enough to se
cure employment could not earn enough
to buy bread to satisfy the ' hunger of
their families.
It Is estimated that 30,000,000 of people
starved to death in India during the 19th
century, and in one year alone, the year
in which that good woman Queen Vic
toria assumed the title of empress, more
than 5,000,000 of her subjects died from
hunger. Yet the population without Im
migration is continually Increasing from
natural causes. The net Increase during
the 10 years from 1891 to 1901 was 7,046,
3S5. The struggle for life . Is becoming
greater every year; wages are going
down Instead of up notwithstanding the
rapid increase of manufacturing indus
tries, the extension of the railway sys
tem and other sources of wealth and
employment that are being rapidly de
veloped. '
More than 200,000,000 persons In India
are living upon, less' than 5 cents a day
of our money; more than 100,000,000 are
living upon less than 3 cents; more than
50,000,000 upon less than 1 cent and. at
least two-thirds of the entire population
do not have food enough during any
year of their lives to supply the nourish
ment demanded by the human system.
As I have already shown; there are two
acres of land under cultivation for each
Inhabitant of India. This Includes gar
dens, parks and pastures, and It is not
evenly distributed. In many parts of the
country, millions are compelled to live
upon an average of one-fourth of an
acre of land and millions more upon
half an acre. '

Clerk Maher of the port of Portland
commission is compiling data from the
weather bureau records giving the low
est and highest stage of the Willamette
river at Portland during the past 13
years.. The lowest water known in Feb
ruary during the period covered was in
1903, when the river, was only 2.4 feet
above the low water mark. The high
est during the month for that year was
11.3 feet. During the present month it
has been up to 18 feet.
The highest water ever known at
Portland was during what Is termed as
