WILLAMETTB VALLEY' DEVELOPMENT
I HE MEETING of the Willamette Valley Devel
opment league at 'Eugene today and tomorrow
should be productive of ' somev good results,
'even if nothing more than a renewed or. sustained in
" terest hv various development"; projects. To be sure
Something more, much more,' than conference, speeches
nd resolutions is needed, but these are always neces
sary jpreliminaries. Qnce-the: aplrit . of development i
" thoroughly aroused and development sentiment is gen
erally diffused, action along one line or another will
'follow when feasible means -present themselves, or' are
evoked by leaders. ,-..-.
' The-Willamette valley is susceptible of almost illira
' v:able development It has a great many progressive
-Witiaena, yet in a measure has lain dormant- for many
, , ;ars. Along with the rest of Oregon if is -awakening
to a. new. and more active and progressive life, and far
heater industrial ' achievements. It is acknowledged
ty all to be one of the most beautiful regions in the
world, 'and its natural resources , are almost boundless".
.. Properly tilled, its lands are generally productive, it has
plenty of timber and abundance of water, most of its
treat expanse is excellently adapted to diversified farm
Lag, including dairying and horticulture, ' and it is
capable of sustaining several timet Its present popula
tion. V. .'. V ;' 1
A good many bometeekers have, bought land in- the
. f.Villamette . valley this summer, and many more will
come during the next few years, partly ia consequence
cf the Lewis and Clark exposition, and these will make
: (development work easier..---,- . ': , ; .;
' jOne-thiag that must receive a good deal of attention
U good; wagon roads. Several counties -have made , a
1 good start in this work, and will find that money thus
, applied-is a; very, profitable investment Electric lines
between the principal towns will doubtless be built in
', the near, future, and will serve as great agencies of de
velopment .While outside capital will be needed "for
i -these enterprises, local capital might ia some Instances
). be profitably invested in them. " ,"'',.''-
The great need of the Willamette valley Is more peo-
pie, and to aid in securing them the large and only par
. tially tilled farms should be divided up and sold off at,
; moderate prices.. A small farm well cultivated and man-
. aged and with all its resoorceS'Vtilised to the best ad
- vantage is more satisfactory and profitable, than a large
one not well cared for and used.. Portions of the Wil-
lamette villey should within the next quarter of a cen
tury be very much more populous than they are now.
-Creameries and canneries should multiply, fruit aud
' 'dairy products should be made the most of possible, only
high grades of stock should be raised, and allthe op-
portunities of this great and splendid valley should be
appreciated and taken advantage of as they never have
been heretofore. ' ,?':,'' ,
' : With the farmers and business men of the Willamette
.' valley awakened a they are 'and working together, we
: may be sure that great development will take place in
that part of Oregon during the next few years.' V.V
POLITICS IN MARYLAND.
MUCH .OUTSIDE INTEREST is taken In the
. : political campaign in Maryland this year, be
cause oh its outcome may depend the continued
existence of the Gorman machine, and' because of its
attempt to disfranchise the colored voters of the state,
as has been done by severer southern states. Ranged
against the Gorman, organization which dominated the
Hate convention yesterday, arc not only the Republican
party but many independent voters and a large contin
gent of the Democratic party as well, including the gov
ernor and attorney general of the state, so that ss Mary
land is close politically it looks as- though Gorman
might lose' considerable of. his prestige, and his' seat in
the senate when his present term expires. The Demo
cratic machine hopes to intrench itself in power through
the disfranchisement of the negro voters, though there
fs no such excuse m Maryland for this provision as
exists in ' Mississippi and some other southern,, states
where the blacks outnumber or equal the whites.' In
Maryland there are only 53,000 colored men of voting
age,,to 235,000 white' voters." The proposed amendment
not only provides a literary test but also that the voter

overthrown, this result will be largely due tto a new
primary law, under which many men, particularly young
men of political ambition, have been encouraged and en
abled to declare their independence of Gorman and his
sub-bosses. The appointment of the election boards

Z$ THE FAIR AS. AN; INVESTMENT. V
THE ATTENDANCE at the fair during September
, was large beyond. calculation or expectation and
this will have a very desirable effect upon the
financial showing which will ultimately be made. But
there has 'grown up an expectation of extraordinary
financial results which it is well, to have known now
will never brreaHjtetSometime ago" it was stated by
one of Portland's- newspapers- that the fair at its elose
would show a profit for its stockholders of about, a
quarter of a million dollars. ' This is manifestly absurd.
It is now known that when the fair opened the in
debtedness which confronted it amounted to a very con
siderable sum of money and that this amount was not
completely liquidated until the early days of September.
Under those conditions to raise expectations that the
fair was going to be a tremendous financial success is
only to breed disappointment later "on. The fair has
been a great success in many ways. It has been great
in and of itself. It has greatly benefited Portland, it
has greatly benefited Oregon, Washington, Idano, Cali
fornia, -indeed all the states bordering the states of ;the
northwest Pacific coast - In other respects it has more
thin" met original, calculations. ' But it jvill not make a
very great deal of money for its stockholders. . , ; v
V OREGON'S LONE' REPRESENTATIVE, v
E of the grave consequences of the, land fraud
prosecutions is that at tbe-cominr session of
conarress Oregon will have but a single repre
sentative. Senator. Mitchell and Congressman William
son have both been convicted of violation of. law and
cannot take their, seats. ; Congressman Hermann is
under indictment botfvint Oregon and in the District of
Columbia, and even if he so' far defies public sentiment
as to anoear "in the house his-usefulness is" at an end.
virtually stand alone as the repre
sentative of the state.
..How long this condition will continue it is difficult; to
sav. Senator Mitchell's case is before the United States
supreme court and it is possible that many months may
elapse before a decision is rendered. - His term does not
expire until Marcb, 1W7, and in tne event ot a reversal
by the supreme court he would have.thejight to retain
his office until that time. In the meantime the state
will have but a single active senator. If the decision of
should be sustained i before Senator
Mitchell's term expires his scat would become . vacant
and Governor Chamberlain would have the appointment
of a successor,' who would serve for the unexpired term.
In the case of the two congressmen a condition quite
as unfortunate exists. Both Hermann and Williamson
were relected in June, 1904, for two-year terms, but their
terms did not begin until March, 1905. .They have there
fore a year and a half to serve, notwithstanding the fact
that the next congressional election is only nine montns
distant- " i" .hc 1 i..
'Congressman Williamson will doubtless appeal from
the verdict rendered against him. - It is possible tnat the
ultimate decision Of his case might not be reached be
fore the expiration of his term, and in that event his
seat will be practically vacant in the session of 1906-7,
as well, as .during the coming winter. The successor
whom the people of the second district elect next June
cannot take his seat until March, 1907. .- -v ; I
In the case of BingerHermann there is little prospect
that a' final determination of the charges against him
before the . expiration of his term.
Three indictments are hanging over him in this state and
a fourth was returned tby a grand jury in Washington,
D, C Without attempting to forecast the result of the
several trials, it is safe to assume that unless he should
acquittal in each the cases wjll still
when- his term expires." For a year
the people of the first district will
would bo of 'Vast benefit In augmenting

He le engaged In playing a game that
la quite popular these days. Th name
of the game Is high finance, and Thomas
Fortune Ryan 1 almost if not quite, th
most expert player in th lot
Tou have seen Thomas F. Ryan'a por
trait many times, in the press, and you
recognise th man at once. His physi
cal appearance is that of a groat many
others. He 1 Wg standing over six
feet and solid, but" not stout His
broad shoulders are .wall thrown back,
and he looks In the prime of life, despite
the fact that he le past 14 years of age.
His hair is barely sprinkled with gray,
hla cheeks are smooth and ruddy and
he wear a close-cropped mustacher The
chin la unusually abort which means
nothing at all with thla man. .
The strength in hie face la confined
to the eyes. ' They are gray, and very
steady and coot Tou look at UtUe els
when you are talking with him. If you
are studying the man you find here your
ciue to- bis character. There IS little
to be. .gained from his voice, which is
quiet modulated and dispassionate. It
ia said of him that he la a much bet
ter listener, than talker. This attribute
seems to be a common property of those
Who play "the game.' Aa In Whist, there
ts more to be gained by thinking and
acUng than by talking about It. ;
During hla office hours Mr. Ryan la
eaaUy approached by those who have
bualneee with him, but there must be
no time wasted. His official, day begins
at 10 o'clock, when he reach th build
ing. He works sfter a well-ordered sys
tem. . Before his appearance, hla secre
tary makee up the appointments for ths
day in calendar form and places the list
upontbe desk. There le a brief at
tention to the correspondence that sifts
past the various secretaries' desks, and
then, within a very short time after th
financier's arrival the Important con
sultations begin.
As a rule the other playera In ths
game come to see Mr. Ryan; he seldom
goes to see them. His dally task Is
more that of a captain- in a conning
tower -who direct operations through
subordinates and a thorough system of
wires. Mr. Ryan's system of wires is
th finest In th country and he Is sn

"W started out In Minneapolis to
aoooropllsh four objects, and have come
very hear doing It. These objects were
the eegregatlon of the immoral element
of the city; the restriction, of the liquor
t raffle; th suppression of gambling, and
th annihilation of slot machines... -.
"W beat the gamblers. Then they
cam to ua for terms. We demanded
unconditional surrender, and got IU Slot
machines, a In Seattle, ere limited to
vending purposes. They can be played
In cigar atores, but. the player must get
some sort of cigar for every clip ha

couraged the slot machine players.

should bo provided. The best detectives

in 'making th necessary acquaintances

Men outside the city are sometimes
used. Thla policy haa kept the knights
of the green cloth on the run.
"Blind pjgs and Uquorrselllng drug

w keep the evil very well suppressed.

"Saloona are restricted to th patrol

In the residence section. The Idea that
they should be is fallacious. '
"'Streetwalkers are rigidly watched,
and are - given workhouse . sentences

"The district primary voting system

though unsatisfactory to the machine

It soon will be. ' '
"There Is not much agitation In Min

Automobile Farming. .
- ' From Harper's Weekly. .
A new and special type of automo
bile, has recently been put on the mar
ket in Scotland which is ' designed es
pecially for farm work,- and which Is
not only suitable for plowing, but may
be equipped with a eultlvator or reaper.
It will prepare the ground, and aow the
seed at one operation, and can be oper
ated at a better speed, than a horse.
Thus, when plowing, it can cover from
six te seven acres a day, and goes oyer
th field so as to leave it In final shape
for- cultivation. When not in us In
th field, th motor can be used to drive
all farming machinery, end when plow
ing, the cost of fuel, labor and depre
ciation has been oomputed at It per.
acre or leas than on half th expense
ef plowing by horse. It is Interesting
to note that the coat of the machine
la about fl.KOO, an amount that doe not
seem -prohibitive t for a - large farm,
where a thorough test of the new tna
ohlne could readily be mads. The au
tomobile, unlike the farm animal, doe
not hav to ba fed when It le not work
Ing, and it Ie her that a substantial
element of , economy- can probably, be
secured. . ."' ,..' . -'"'' !
