Oregon. .-.,.. ,.. PROMISED NEW LINES FOR 'THER1fT5-TTOrAXwoM to Oregon s I are o( so- much importance as those of E. H. f Harriman. The head of a system which has dominated the state "since the day when railroads were ;first known in it he enjoys here what constitutes, a practi , ijcal and n mavy important sections an absolute monopoly '-of -ourtrBportation facilities.- He is or to a large ".extent.he may be.a dictator of our development, aiding ' us to move along the line of least resistance or through ; mere inertia 'without interposing any obstacles . to in crease'the cost to Inhibitory figures. He may retard our growth or, as railroads can and do, he msfstimulateit. 7" A formalisiOrbnT him" then is' a matter of much importance even as self-respecting people look at 'it. From the Oregon point of view the development of the ', iatate is a joint undertaking. While there is a degree of responsibility which the people must assume there should ' be a Urge degree which the railroads themselves should i; assume. -nToucbing lightly on the past they are inclined to fee) thafewscything possible has hot been done, and i r while they do not hold themselves entirely blameless ;for the. lack of results neither do they acquit the rail? -roads.. But let the dead past bury the dead except in " so far as it constitutes a lesson. That with which Port land and Oregon are: now chiefly; concerned' are the , present and the future. On both of these propositions Mr. Harriman has something to say which is well worth " listening to." He talked last evening at a banquet and in such a'tbrmat wayas to give force and weight to Jus Twords." " What did he say was being done to hclp-thc situation and what did he promise would be done?' Here .;. the list a( both: . Line from Riearia to Lewiston, 79 r miles, and from Lewiston to Grangeville, SO miles, which are being jointly built by the Harriman system and the Northern racitic a-line xrorn jugin to joacpii, wr " m;t frnm. Arlington to Condon, completed, 45 miles; from Sorinefield to Eugene. 4 miles: f;M XI milM .nd the extension ef ern from Sbaniko'td Bend, 100 tnilesi ' There is a total mileage of 4531 NbVr this is not everything, it does '. not gridiron the 'state with branch lines, but it consti tutes a start' . It fills up gaps, it makes connections and it constitutes extensions that will materially aid in the 1 development :of, the state and bring its different parts "into closer relations. That is, it will do all these things when the mileage is built. aiHhe people will now, very naturallv exoect to see it built, This wdrk once done other extensions must follow as a matter of course, lead ing to that not far distant day when Oregon will take r the place which.her natural advantages entitle it to take in the sisterhood of states. There is very much work ahead Tor the people! and there i much ahead for the railroads. Oregon will expect more consideration in the future' than it has received in the pastr and we hope these extensions which are now assured are. but the ' precursors of others to' follow, including that most Im portant, of all, an east and west line to. tap the heart . of the interior of the state, v ; .

' The late - Representative Tongue -contended for-such-a-ptovision in the law.but was Overruled. . Tbere were indeed some ' very good reasonjUwhy the law should not embody such a rrnnirement But since Oregon has contributed nearly one-fifth of the total fund, and has large areas that are undoubtedly susceptible of irrigation, it certainly would be only fair and just to this state for the government to give" Oregon projects the preference, or at least an rrmal consideration with others. - ' : " Io this connection, however, St is to be observed that the government has run against adverse, influences and 1 activities in several cases in Oregon. In Klamath county there had to be long negotiations and considerable fric tion before the rights of a private company could be purchased. Mn the Deschutes .valley a private company was ahead Tif the government which . therefore kept' its hand off. la Malheur county the general opinion and report tip. there' are that the government-project is,held iW.HfeAVJV. & CLvM.

Ip. the northwestern Umatilla region the ' government it " reported, will go ahead with a reclama . tion- project if certain private interests and rights can : be obtained. ' ' , ' So it seems that while the government has been after -its fashion-dilatory, and has -spent a great deal of time in dawdling and unwinding red tape, yet wherever it 'has gone in Oregon it has encountered difficulties and . opposition. ! . ' ' . . ' ' The oeoole should stand in with-and aid and encourage the erovernment in this work, not thwart its purpose by throwing difficulties Tn the wayt and - -over express very plainly and clearly their opinion, even . . l they can do no more, of "land hogs" who ask unrea aonable terms ofithe government, to the great injury of all other settlers, and even, if they could but see the . , truth through, their avidity, of themselves. But the gov ' eminent is not legally obliged by the law to expend the $4,000,000 thatJ2rega,n hai contributed tp the reclamation fund, nor 'any ;part ot it, m uregon.

IT IS MUCH to be regretted that such cases as the Taggart and Cody and many similar divorce cases could not be kept out of the courts andj so out of the papers, and not exposed to public view"; that, the parties and. their immediate relatives and friends would not get together and agree on a separation and division of property, and perhaps of children, and if a divorce is essential have it procured quietly and on agreed Jerms. These scandalous exposures and bitter wrangles in court are not conducive to the public health. Yet since they get into the courts, and the people want the news, the details must be published. ., lt seems, as far.Ane can gather, from the v,jence, tw prohably it is a case of about six ot one and half a dozen with the other in the Taggart case, though the heavier blame will fall on the woman, because a woman is required to behave herself and , keep within certain bounds, especially if she have young' children, whether the man-4oes so or not. , - . , .1 Taggart, being a capUin and a man with aiv'income besides, had the swell-head and. was a high roller. . .It appears, that he was not drunk all the time, but there is some intimation of delirium tremens, from which it is inferred that he was not a model of sobriety. And as to other matters, since he was away from his wife a good deal, it may be assumed that his house is largely composed of glass. - -- Mrs. Taggarfs main fault it seems, was drinking beer and whiskey with Various men, mostly other officers, at all torts of times and places.

Some glrla sauce the amount of as- tention shown, them by the amount of money spent on them. ' - unieae a man is constantly treating 1 them or - invltlna them te- eome place of amusement . they place, small,, value on his attentions. If they could but realise the mistake they, are making in demanding this ex penditure I think they would etop It. I don't mean that they should rorego II the little attentions and treats of fered them by men, but that they ahoud be reasonable In their expectationa. In the first place tha average young man earns a vary moderate salary. out of tbla he haa to support nimaeir. perhaps help bis family a little, and If he Is provident put away "a little In view .of a rainy day. . If added to all thla ha la trytner to meet . the demanda of some exacting young goddeaa, who constantly urges him to apand hie money, , It Is small wonder that he finds the burden rather heavy. ' ... t .- ... - . ' It lan't fair, girls, and I -think you should make up your minds to put a stop to It. .' Don't expect to be treated every time you go out with a man. ' It a very nice, of course, and If the man can afford It, "well and good. But nine times out of ten he can't afford It and only'doea It becauae he knows you expect It. ..'-" Naturally when a man. Is Interested In girl he la anxious to do all be can to gain her favor. . r He knows she likes to go about to places of amusement, etc., and the result that he frequently spends more on herthan-he-should, ; ' k I think, dear girls, you would be act ing a fair part If you dlaoouraged rather than encouraged thla extravagance. It la better to help a man save his money than to help him equander It. Tha man who la worth cultivating la the man who la trying to get on in the world, to make a success of his life. He know that he cannot do this and fling away his money at the same time.' Tha result Is that he keeps away from temptation. . . If you only enjoy a man s society for the presents and treata he give you, you are paying him a very poor compliment. There are dosens of fine young men who keep away from the glrla simply because they know they cannot spend as much money as the glrla expect them to. 1 . . An exceedingly nice young man, to whom I was- talking the other day, ex plained the situation to me. How is It." I said, "that you pay so little attention to girls f Don't you like theraT" Like themf he echoed: "of course I like them, but I can't afford to show my liking. you see. It le thla way.

The other great lasue In Ruasla's In ternal policy about which ithe kalaer wished an opportunity to 'impress ni views upon ths csar is of equally direct eoncern to Germany.

His dominating Idea of paving a way for German hegemony from Hamburg to the Peralan gulf oannot be reconciled with Russia's finally abandoning her ambition for empire upon the Pacino, and any rapproechament with England would preclude a Russian advance on India and the middle eaet.
