Forbes of the American Corporation Securities company, whose offices are la the Ten ton tmlldlng. "Personally I have no ob , Jectlon to the initiative and referendum, excepting for the effect It has upon the : business Interest I am la touch with. I do not believe the operation of the ' law' will have a wholesome effect on business, requiring considerable Invest ments of money In Oregon. Upon the I way ; the people of this etate exercise the powers of the ballot during the nest yesr or two will very largely depend the development of Oregon's resources. "There la a decided feeling In the east that the people of Oregon are antag- uoiUetxtj iLirpprsiinn anq arn nov ma- posed to treat capital fairly.

In due course of time, people might be educated to a point' where they would treat these questions rightly and would be safe arbiters, but meantime a serious injury would be Inflicted on the state's Industrial Interests and development of its resources be indefinitely retarded if the newspapers and the voters failed la their duty.

"The room used by the carriers while waiting to go on duty Is in the basement. It is all right If it were kept clean. The cus pidor are not attended to, the wast boxes are left la a filthy condition. Many of the carriers eat their -tunehoe here and' scraps are thrown Into the boxes.

Both subjects are admirably treated from many as pacta The San Fran- clsCo disaster probably steals from the Alaskan subject In interest because peo ple like to read of horrors, and ths event is of. more sudden and recent happening. A personal account of en tering the city of ruin, and of its de vastation is given in clear graphlo lan guage by Marshall Douglass, who went with the first train of passsngara from the north. F. O. Popence, who was in ths city at the time, gives a personal narrative of the disaatsr and' accom panying sensations and sights, and Rea Irwin, who went down from Portland, gives his impressions of ths recon struction of San Francisco. -r Ths situation is discussed Intelligent ly- by Oovernor Pardee of .California, James D.
