President 7 Hofer of the Willamette Valley 'Development league stated that thla was the first of a series ol county mass conventions that were planned to further the development of western Oregon and promote the Improvement of transportstlon facilities and opening of harbors on the west coast. The organi sation had also during the past ' year taken up ths taxation problem as under lying the whole altuatlon of promoting the rational development of the state. A report from the committee on draft ing a tax bill had been submitted st tht Eugene convention and its recommenda tions had met with general favor, while -jione of the propoaltlona there laid down had been questioned or controverted. What Thla Xrfag-a Steads Toe In calling together -this mass conven tion of the farmers and producers and shippers of Tarn hill county It may be of interest to tell Just -what this league standa for.. The motto adopted at tht Eugene convention indicates the prin ciple Involved "A Square Deal for Ore gon. The first address Issned to the people setting forth the transportation condiyons prevailing In this state reated on four declarations of fact that have never been questioned, and ware vouched for by the transportation committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, as followat i '. 1. -That Oregon had enacted no hos tile or drastic railroad legislation and had repealed the commission law. Z.. That Oregon had 'taxed railroad property lightly compared to other states all around us, on an average about HOI per mile leas taxes annually.- ' I. That compared with the states all around us Oregon had received almost no railroad construction, while the other three ooast-states showed from J00 to BOO miles of new lines each. 4. . That there was a large net surplus of earnings to the credit of the lines In Oregon, and .that large sums of money earned on the. lines In Oregon wareoex pfcnded In constructing new! Jln.e . Is other states. --- i?- More Xlnesal relief. Based on- these undeniable proposi tions offset.' this . organisation de manded of the Harrlman system a trior liberal policy for the development of Oregon and we are happy to say that this has been met In a substantial man ner. A new line la to be conatructed to Coos bay that will open a large deep- sea harbor to the producers of western Oregon. There hss been 'further an nouncement of 14.100,000 set aside for construction of additional mileage. Tht auggestion that the Harrlman system annually expend at leastrone- half-its surplus earnings' In construction of new lines In Oregon, made In good faith, hat been well received and If carried out In good faith will bridge a chaam that was widening Into an almost Inseparable gulf tn this state between the people an3" ah corporations, . ,.,...,. - Thla league stands for absolute Jus tice In the relations between capital In vested In the-railroads-and the people, asking no favors for either but fair play and Justice for both. . The people should not be deceived by much of tht stuff that Is printed asserting that 140.000.000 Or $50,000,010 are tp be spent on new railroads In Oregon. Such It not the case. If . we have tS. 000,000 spent the coming year we will bo well satisfied. ' It means the employment of . . . - i Ka II... I ",.y.r m"" "" TJX TITO jt-sx w i. i voibibiiiiiv en. good to the community.

A special guard, however, has been employed to keep watch on the twoprlsoners, day and night. As the cells will be exposed to the cold weather outside for some time, the prisoners are kept In the city Jail at night . The heavy, cells, which are all bolted firmly together, are moved bodily as ont piece.) Their combined wAght Is -five tons. The entire end of the old Jail was torn out to give' ample room for their removal, and they are bejng net up on the oonaroto foundation of tlm " nsw atructure before the walls are raised.

The salary of Dr. Matsonr the city health commis sioner, will be Increased from $90 a month to $140 and ne will be made ex officio assistant city phyaiclan. For several weeks past the members pf the city council showed considerable antagonism toward the proposition on the ground that It emanated from Mayor Lane. It was shown the council that the health office was In need of as sistance and that the sanitary- condi tions of the city might be seriously Im paired through lack of attention Mayor Lane also theatened to close the doors of the health office and lay the blame on the council If additional funds were not provided. The councllmen have, therefore, dec Wed to make provision for me aepanmenu - Another deputy Is badly needed.
