The' country was ripe for it long ere this but the railroads were not. They were willing to follow the community of interests railroads refrained from building because of an agreed upon division were based not upon cost with a upon the cost, "ito a oig: prum suucu, u. ... freight on the longest, most difficult and most , un natural lines to a seacoast terminal. This has lasted for years, crippling, development and retarding trie growtn of the country. ,' ' r-. - In the natural order of things it could not last al uava. Ultimately railroads, like . any other business, must take into consideration the But a tremendous factor to bring this about was the evident purpose of the Harriman roads to control the bulk of the. choice transcontinental traffic. For years it has been at work in bringing its roadbed and equip ment ud to the highest possible standard of excellence. In this it succeeded by the expenditure of enormous sums of money. San Francisco, under this arrangement, was the chief beneficiary and made tremendous strides in consequence With railroad conditions -constantly improving through the central belt-of the (west, it soon became evident that all transcontinetal lines must be . brought up to the same 'standard of excellence or sooner or later they would drop back to their logical places. -. A realization of this fact brought the Northern pa cific and the Gre Northern to the front Theyrtoo, had learned the great lesson of the railroad engineers that distance no longer cuts much figjithraiir roads;jtheicniciaLt--with avoidance of curves and grades., It. was commercially ridiculous to - think that these roads could compete with the Harriman lines in central west traffic if they continued to send their freight over the impossible routes through which ihey had forced their ways to the sound country While they required two locomotives to haul over eight or ten cars ovT-th4B-rnountainsronthe naturar-water grade haul to Portland, one locomotive could haul 40 cars, or as many as k was safe to put back of it into Portland. 'Here then was the natural seaport to reach. Back of them was the Burlington seeking a direct and cheap route to the ocean and miserably failing in its mission so long as that was denied it. So it -has come about, hot through any love for Portland or any desire to sin gle it out for special consideration, that the center of western railroad activity the coming year and for some time thereafter must naturally be the Pacific northwest with its focus at Portland.- . ' AH of this means that as San-Francisco has grown during the past eight years, so Portland must grow for some years to come. It has the enormous advantage, . too, in its favor of the only natural water haul in the United States to reach, the Pacific ocean. , It has, too, the advantage of an incomparable country back of it J which drains through here as though lhrougb-4he small - end -of the"'funiler ahd"under natural conditions, which must hereafter be closely regarded, there is no way of diverting the trade. So the outlook could scarcely be .improved and Portland has good reason for the faith that is in it that it is- destined to become one of the very great cities of the country. WOMEN'S .WORK IN Women are "doing things, - Bays the Baltimore American, according to a report of their activities in all parts of the country laid before the recent . convention of the American Civic association. A large proportion of this activity is directed toward the improvement of the conditions of life in Amer ican cities, this improvement consisting in the clean ing and betterment of filthy back yards and alleys, -proper care of streets, attention to the trees and proper sanitation in homes. . t I N HIS is the very heart of civic , will clean, up our alleys ' fslums" will disappear If streets clean at a reasonable cost, municipal politics will very nearly take care of itself. 1 It was long ago written that .cleanliness is next to godliness, and there was significant truth in the remark. Righteousness right living ever tends toward and strives for . cleanliness of person, ' clothing, house, grounds, streets, alleys, stairways. , The women, as is intimated in the remarks quoted, are taking the lead in this good and growing wofk of civic cleanliness and the women are interesting the children. -, '- '- ,' ; The next generation will be cleaner, in many ways, than any preceding one. . A. VERY GOOD PLAN. THE "GET-TOGETHER" DINNER organized by Mayor Lane and held last night was a novelty 'in some respects but back of it was such keen ' good sense that doubtless it will not be the last of the kind. Af it vere gathered the members of the city government, ; executive, administrative and legislative. - The purpose was to talk things over, for each to get the 'point of view of the other and without reference to politics, thrash out, if not a program, at leasts to in dicate t line of work that would be vastly beneficial to the city as a whole. In this respect it is said by all concerned-to have been a huge success. Nearly all - public officials . are . concerned in what is to the. best interests of the city. '.The aim is sometimes defeated by the exigencies of narrow, politics but. this need not be. As in private life, so in .public, most misunderstandings occur from lack . of explanations' made at the proper , time and in the Monument to Brigham Young.

The business of the United States' court and the business of the' Roseburg land office has been shamefully neglected 'apparently for no other reason than the belief that it was next to impossible to. gel here men suitable to fill the places with credit to them selves and a full appreciation of the value of their oaths of office. There have been all sotts of agents sent out here from Washington to make investigations of men mentioned for place. The simple fact that they had re ceived the indorsemenVbf our only senator seemed of itself to make them objects of suspicion to the presi dent. ' While all the selections made by Senator Fulton might not have squared to the very highest demands, there has been a studious effort put forth to make plain to the public that he was persona rron grata with the administration and that there were a dozen sources through which the president's ear might' be more ad vantageously reached than by way of the senator from Oregon. . f ' It may be true that Fulton, as attorney for certain in terests, may have been carried tod far in his zeal to serve his clients; it may be that he proceeded to indefensible lengths. To whatever extent-he may. have done so The Journal has nothing to say in his defense or his behalf except that corporation lawyers are seldom tod nice in making discriminations between the duty which they owe to their clients and the greater duty that they owe as citizens to the state.

Nov. 80. To the Editor of The Journal I have lust returned from the union Thankaglvlng services at the First Congregational church. In which five clergymen participated. Includin an tmpreaalve and Instructive sermon by Rev. C. T. Wilson. D. D., of this city. Among other, valued utterances waa one truth which many eastern voters have llluatrated this year: "The political Sal vatlon of this country rests not upon KepuDiicans, Democrats, socialists . or Prohibitionists, but upon the lndepend ent voter. - : . Th speaker closed with an eloquent appeal to all the churches, of whatever faith or order, to unite In opposition lo tne aaioon power, and especially to stand againat the proposed amendments to the loosl option law. Coming from the well filled church I gave my opinion on this subject to a friend, and he asked me to amplify It In a letter to The Journal. therefore submit this communication. Al active experience of more than half century aa a private In the tern perance army has- reluctantly driven ma to this conclusion, namely: The strong est allies the saloons have are the ultra- Prohibitionists. Millions of voters are In favor of ore- hlbltlng saloons wherever practicable that Is. where publio sentiment will sua. tain the .enforcement of a prohibitory law, but -who are In favor of anything everywhere which will lessen liquor drinking when prohibition Is Impossi ble. Such people are the real enemies of the open saloon. Qui Its snother man Is ths ultra-Pro- hlbltionlst.

To the Editor of ine journal in your Isaue of Novem ber to appeared a telegram under a Nst York date under the caption "Force Equitable From Germany.

Ws believe you would not publish anything Inten tionally misleading, and where an ar ticle perchance does not state the facta you wilt. In Justice to the party ag grieved, glvs him a hearing. Permit us therefore to say: . The article published Is not in accordance with the facts, and the heading serves only to accentuate It. The Equitable society hss not writ ten any nsw buslnsss in Germany f-r about six years. At that time the Prus sian government mads a compact with another Insurance company, giving them ths exclusive privilege to write insur ance in Germany, under such- onerous terms that the Equitable would not com ply, and thence withdrew from tha field. Since that time the Equitable has kept the then existing insurance in force, but haa not written any new buatnesa The reserve against ths existing business Is constantly- Increasing, and what - tha German government now objecta to. Is that the Equitable doe) not Invest tha entire reserve In Prussian securities; aa those securities realise a lower income than can be realised on other gilt-edge securities, ths society feels Justified, In the Interest of its policyholders, in plae Ing the money elsewhere. ' The article is apt to create the im pression that the society-has failed to comply with som Just requirement of the German government; Is liable to the appointment of a receiver; will be re stricted In,. its neid or operation, with consequent Toss to Its policyholders there and elsewhere. Inssmach - as we are not writing any 'business In Ger many none of-thoae evils can befall us; ths most ths government csn do is to require the society to increase its hold ings In German securities to cover the reserve. . -,.'

He predicted with eonfldence the elec tion of John M. Psttlson whsn hardly anybody elae agreed with him. and he amed almost ths exact plurality that his candidate received.
