PORTLAND AND SEATTLE.
M'
R. DANIEL PRATT of Seattle,
In an article published In the
Westerner, a periodical of
that city, most glowingly and
In rather perfervld terms predicts
and pictures the future greatness of
Seattle, which he says Is ere long to
be one of the world's very great
cities and the Incomparable metrop
olis and mart of the Pacific north
west. In starting out to tell why
this Is to be so, he says: "There
are a number of factors which fix
centers of population and build and
maintain cities. First of all, per
haps, there Is the surrounding ter
ritory with Its resources and Its op-
portunlty for deTelopment."
' Mr. Pratt has correctly pointed
out the greatest factor, "perhaps,"
In the making of a great city, and
while dilating upon It, as he does at
length, he might have looked over
fcere and perceived that as to this
possibly greatest factor In the up
building of a great city Portland la
better situated than Seattle. It not
only has an Immensely larger and
more rarled tributary territory to
rely on, but it can be reached as
Seattle cannot, except via Portland
by down-grade route from the
great upper country. With a suf
flclent channel and an Improved har
bor certain of attainment Port
land also" has1 the great advantage of
an Inland, fresh-water harbor.
Seattle has Ita advantages, too
and will become a great city, but
we think not so great as Portland
providing Portland people Improve
their opportunities and advantages
as well or anywhere near as well as
Seattle people have dope and doubt
less will continue to do. This in
fact Is Seattle's great advantage If
wo muBt aay the truth over Port
land. But Seattle has had the ad
vantages also of a great, deep har
box, of nearby developed coal fields,
of the enormous Alaska trade, of
better treatment by the railroads
and of greater development of the
state of Washington than of Oregon
In 'consequence of more railroads.
We do not know nor predict which
will become the greater city. Seattle
has a fine situation in some respects;
Portland, a deep channel and a larger
harbor being possible, occupies a
better position. Portland has some
handicaps, which can be overcome.
Seattle's main handicap, the moun
tain range behind it, cannot be over
come. But happily there is room for
two very great cities in this region,
and for others not small.
could do nd let them understand ests'," but this is by no means cer-
that if they are to grow they must tain. That he has been highly fa-
get the surrounding country devel
oped. These are large yet possible
things to do, and once they succeed
In a case or two, the example will
be followed In other places. One of
these things is to build local rail
roads, not waiting for Harriman or
any other railroad king, as Eugene
and Corvallis are planning to do,
and as Forest Grove has talked of;
and the other Is for a corporation of
public-spirited citizens in a town to
get hold of several thousand acres of
land near by and cut It up into small
farms and sell It at but a small
profit to immigrants.
Railroads must antedate extensive
and thorough development of any
region, but there are cases In which
local roads that will pay can be
built. Are we to wait upon the Wall
street nabobs and stock gamblers
forever? Let us help ourselves more.
As to the land proposition, the
greatest objection to it Is that it
would Increase the value of sur
rounding land hogs' holdings, but no
advancement or development was
ever made except to the benefit of
some people who would not lift a
finger to help. And this cannot be
avoided In this case. If In a few
cases a section of land now occupied
by perhaps two or three families
could be put in possession of from
16 to 24 families, who would raise
stuff in an even greater proportion,
it would be a most valuable object
lesson to other places. And If this
example could be repeated 20 times
within a few miles of a now dead-and-alive
town, it would soon quit
wondering why it didn't grow, and
the grass would disappear from its
streets.
Oregon's greatest need Is clearly
seen. To supply it Oregon people
have got to do something besides
talk. They have got to make their
money talk.
vored and honored by the president
is not conclusive; so was Paul Mor
ton. New York, If the people of
that state have any voice In the
convention that elects delegates, will
present Governor Hughes as a can
didate, and It Is probable that he
would be nearer what Is popularly
understood as a Roosevelt candidate
though an entirely different sort
of a man from Roosevelt than any
other man prominently mentioned.
If the ring politicians get control of
the New York convention they will
try to nominate the worst man pos
slble who would stand any chance
of election.

OREGON'S GREATEST NEED.
0'
, REGON NEEDS to raise more
products, particularly those that
it now Imports, and for lm-
porting which every Oregonlan
ghould feel In a measure ashamed,
even though not individually at fault.
Oregon ought to produce Immensely
greater quantities of pork, eggs and
dairy products, and should multiply
Its fruit canneries and material for
' them. j
But to produce far greater
amounts' of these and other products
Oregon must have more people, more
producing people, more people in the
country, on the farms, particularly
on small farms. To put it In another
but an equivalent way, what Oregon
peedavmore than anything else is to
' get itself settled up. Not to build
up ltd cities; they will take care of
themselves; but to settle up the
. country- ,

F
OR A really able Jury lawyer,
one of the born kind though
Indeed there Is no other kind
such a case as that of the state
of Idaho against William D. Hay
wood presents a great occasion.
Often, perhaps as a rule, a lawyer
in a criminal case has little if any
influence over a Jury; frequently he
hurts his own case by talking too
much, by absurd exaggeration, by
manifest insincerity. But many a
man, either Innocent or guilty, has
been saved by the plea of a lawyer
who was an artist one who knew
human nature In general and the
twelve specimens of human nature
in the Jury box In particular; who
by that wonderful Instrument of
power, the human voice, guided by
a masterful brain, played upon and
swayed and moulded the inferior
minds before him as he would. There
are few such lawyers, and Juries are
not nearly as easily influenced as
they used to be, because they read
and think and know and reason
more.
The father of Chester Thompson,
pleading in behalf of his son, was
such a lawyer. Delmas, pleading for
Thaw, fell short of his reputation.
Haywood's verbal pleaders appear
not to be up to the highest type of
the kind of lawyers we have men
tioned. Darrow may approach It,
but he seems to have made the mis
take of Intruding his radical Ideas
regarding social wrongs too much.
What he needed to do was to get
those twelve hard-headed men in
sympathy with him as to the one
question "of Haywood's guilt, not to
convince them against their will that
belligerent socialism and anarchy are
Justifiable. He could scarcely overdo
the censure and condemnation of
Orchard; he was Justified in play
ing long and loudly on that string
for in this he must have had the
Jury's sympathy; but his radicalism
that must rasp on them he should
have kept subdued. The fragmentary
reports Indicate that Darrow made
a really great speech, but we doubt
whether it was the speech of a great
legal artist.
T HAVING been proposed to hold
the Vanderbllt cup automobile
race In New Jersey this fall, it
was discovered that under a law
of that state such a race Is unlawful,
and now an attempt Is being made
In the legislature to change the law
so that the race can be held. The
Horseless Age argues against the
change, on the ground that the race
"is a gamble and nothing more," and
"Is undesirable and unlawful from
every point of view. It presents a
thrilling spectacle, and consequently
draws great crowds, but the human
emotions played upon and the lm
pulses created are not for good
ends."
It seems to us that this goes rather
farther than the case warrants. The
gambling element has been to a
large extent eliminated from horse
racing in many states, and why could
it not be eliminated from automobile
racing as well? Races If permitted
ought to be conducted under such
restrictions as would protect specta
tors from Injury as much as possible,
though the danger to drivers of
racing machines Is always great and
Imminent. But there Is some danger
In connection with a balloon ascen
sion, a boat race, a horse race, or
almost any amusement, and amuse
ment we must have. But perhaps
automobile racing will come Into
such disfavor that, like prize fight
ing. It will be tolerated only in
Nevada, the happy home of Larry
Sullivan.
Letters From tLe People
Just for Today.
A reader of The Journal write :
"It was mr privilege to read a. let
tor from his mother to a young: man
who had left the old home In an east
trn atate and had oome to Oregon to
carve out a career, xn tne letter I came
upon this, written in the wavering hand
or age;
"Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
do not Dray.
Keep me from ataln of sin and wrong
lust for today.
Let me both diligently work and humbly
nrav.
Let me be kind In word and deed Just
ror today.
Let me be swift to do thy will, prompt
to obey.
Help me to sacrifice myself just for
today.
Let me no wrong or Idle word unthink
ing aay.
Set thou a seal upon my lips Just for
today.
So. for tomorrow and It need I do not
pray.
But keep me. hold me, guide me, just
for today.'
" 'Now, my son, If yon will keep re
peating those linos, and cling to them,'
she wrote, 'vou will come to realise that
Clod, the rivlne Principle, will guide
you and Keep you eacn day (IBd Psalra).
You will be surprised to know what It
will do foe you In everyday life. Tou
wui come to Know.' "
Acting President Louis V. Hill of
the Hill railroads doubtless "has a
kick coming" regarding the terminal
grounds situation in Portland, but
It is not clear what Portland can do
to relieve it, since the matter is In
the courts" for settlement. Portland
owes It to the Hill people, however,
to do whatever It can to aid them
In getting the terminal grounds they
need, with as little dejay as possible
but Mr. Harriman has never so far
manifested any eagerness In behalf
of Portland's Interests and is not
likely to pay much attention to any
petition the city might make with
reference to this matter.

Every wreck at sea and many
other disastrous Incidents on water
are constant repetitions of the lesson
that everybody, girls as well as boys,
ought to learn to swim wnen young,
and also to learn how to conduct
themselves coolly and calculatingly
In or under water. Some people can
swim with but slight effort or prac
tice, almost naturally, like an ani
mal, but others have to be taught
and to make prolonged and persist
ent efforts In order to become swim
mers. But every one should learn.
Not to do so may be fatal.
CORTELYOU.
T
HE TALK of Cortelyou for pres
ident Is part of the silly sea
son's hot air. New York state
is not likely to make Itself
ridiculous in the next national con
vention, at the suggestion of Steve
Elkins or anybody else. Not that
Cortelyou Is not quite a considerable
and a Bomewhat admirable figure.
From a stenographer he has risen
to be a member of the cabinet, hold
ing several portfolios In succession,
and mostly, it must be supposed, on
merit. But nobody regards him as
a big enough man for president. Be
sides, his collection of that campaign
fund from Harriman, the insurance:
companies and the trusts, and his
refusal to tell anything about It,
would rise against him inevitably.

Down In North Carolina another
federal Judge has been setting aside
or ignoring a state law, one fixing
the passenger rate on the railroads,
and the state authorities are going
ahead to enforce the law neverthe
less, and in defiance of the Judgo's
orders. On the information at hand
it seems to us that the governor and
other state authorities are right. A
federal judge ordinarily has no busi
ness meddling with a state law. But
let us hope that another civil war
will not result.
Utilize Bull Run Power.
Seaside, Or, July 28. To the Editor
of The Journal Your editorial on the
possibilities of the Bull Run river for
light and power, as well as water for
domeetlo purposes, Is timely and of
more Importance to the city of Port
land than would appear without thor
ough Investigation. The source of Bull
Run water supply la a lake three miles
long and nearly a mile wide, fed by
the everlasting snows of the Cascade
mountains. It contains at a very con
servative estimate approximately 66.
686,300.000 gallons of the best water
on earth. This reservoir has an eleva
tion of 3, COO feet above the city grades
and 2,800 feet fall to the Intake at the
head works on the Bull Run river.
It would be no very great engineer
ing problem, with the utilization of
this vast amount of hydraulic pressure.
to develop power sufficient to light the
cuy or J'oruana rar into the future.
and this same force would Increase the
water supply enormously. There Is no
other dppartment In the city govern
ment tnat could be utilized to a creator
advantage than the harnessing of this
power ror the benefit of the people.
Think of the 28 100-foot dams that
could be constructed across the Bull
Run river from Its source to the head
works and the storage of water and
power that could be derived from it,
as well as the amount that could be
obtained from the present reservoir
system and those that will be con
structed in the future. The interest
on the bonds necessary to the develop
ment of this power would be very much
less than what the city is paying at
the present time for lighting her streets.
1 he operating expenses could be con
ducted under the supervision of a
water and light hoard and done so that
the only cost would be the Interest on
the bonds and operating expenses.

From, the Chicago Tribune.
The fat 'woman has hef faults In
dressing badly, for nearly all fat
women dress poorly. But she has this
In her favor that she can look slimmer
If she wants to do so, Tbsre are stout
women who have the art of looking
thin right down to a ntoety. They nan
age to take off some 10 pounds In their
appearance. Of course they are trying
all. the whllo to get thin and are re
ducing according to established meth
ode. But, while they are struggling to
get rid of their fat, they ax studying
how to look thinner than they really
ar.
Looking slender la easy If one will
Study It. Actually It la tk producible-
01 an optical delusion which makes one
Imagine that the figure la taller and
more slender than it really is.
The fat woman always should carry
a walking stick. Bhe may not want to
carry a cane, but she can carry an um
brella rolled like a stick. Queen Alex
andra never walks without her umbrella
rolled as a stick and most of the court
ladies follow her example. The walk

should be exactly the color of her gown.
And the handle should be loner and slen-
aar. ino carved top. nut the long, sum

The cloves of the stout woman should
be the oolor of her parasol handle.
Most fat women appear to have arms
a foot too short for them. The dark
umbrella, with Its long, dark handle
ana tne long, aarx, ronea gloves win
make the arms look longer. It gives
an awfully pretty effect and one that
ought to be atudled by every fat woman
wiin snort arms.

The fat woman always alts down
awkwardly. Bhe has a trick of balanc
ing herself upon the edge of the chair.
This .gives her a look as1 If she would
break In two. The spectator realize
that the stout woman Is not at ease
and does not know what to do to make
herself more comfortable.
The fat woman should select a chair
the proper height for her legs. If they
are short and fat she should select a
low chair. And she should sit squarely
upon It with her back agalnat the back
of the chair. When the fat woman
puts on her corset she should test It.
She should sit down flatly and sauare-
ly and she should stand and sit down
gain. If It Is Impossible to do this
he may know that she is laced too
tlffly.

look much thinner by wearing trim

And the partridge cock Is drumming
In the spruce;
I can smell the fragrant odor of the

For the spirit of the summer woods

There's a green, enchanted valley In

There's a never ceasing call that

When I go to seek the magic of the
