T THE ALTON DEAL. fHE FACTS about the "Alton deal" hare been repeatedly pub lished, but since Mr. Harrlman is Just now assuming an air of : Injured innocence, and Is posing as persecuted martyr, the following restatement of the "deal," condensed from the New York World, is timely: ( The Alton was a comparatively abort but a rich and prosperous road, owned by a few elderly men, which paid 8 per cent on Its stock and was conservatively managed. In 189S Mr. Harrlman purchased nearly all Its stock, and by new stock and bond Issues Increased the capital Indebted ness from $33,000,000 to $114,000, 000. Of this Increase of $81,000, 000, $18,000,000 was expended for betterments, the balance of $63,000, 000 going Into the possession of the syndicate of which Mr. Harrlman .was the controlling spirit and chief beneficiary. Just how much, and bow, Harrlman and his associates mad In the roundabout deal Is what the interstate commerce commission failed to find out, but it is supposed that by selling bonds to themselves at low prices and disposing of them on their own account at much higher prices, by appropriating the sum which they paid the company for its manufacture la Oregon, and les sen the volume of fat available for butter. The ice cream business will grow. The cheese production w41f vastly grow, for Oregon Is certain to become a great exporter of that product. Portland will grow. Otter Oregon cities will grow. A11 this will mean a constantly diminished raw product for butter manufacture. That will mean constantly Inofcased demand for butter, with prices to match. It means that the dairy farmer may look ahead with confi dence. He may lmproro his farm and better his herds with a certainty that his market will become firmer and surer. With skies above and a soil beneath that vie with each other in giving him perfected condl tions for his enterprise, the dalrjr farmer of western Oregon can face the future with a serenity and assur ance common to few callings. "revival" is needed there, an awak ening, an Infusion of the spirit of rural and agricultural progress. How can it be brought about? Small ( CLuieW'.;i- WILL THE PRESIDENT YIELD? Tf T A BANK'S EMBARRASSMENT. T HE Oregon Trust & Sav ings company's embarrassment 18 REPORTED how many i things false as well as true, and more that are partly both, are discussed with this preface, "It is reported " that the president in his next public address will In dicate that he will now cease active warfare upon the trusts, believing that It Is Injuring the legitimate business Interests of the country. and that Secretary Taft in his speeches on his trip to the coast will take the same tone. The president believes. It Is said, and will say, that the trusts and law-breaking com bines have been sufficiently scared so that they will hereafter be good; and that further prosecutions would so antagonize and alarm large busi ness interests that the country and the party would suffer. All of which Is another way of saying that the trusts, combines, railroads and ' . , other corporations nave at last suc- snoca 10 ioe community. ii was not expected In any quarter, except among those who were well versed in the art of legitimate and conservative banking. There has been no rascality or grafting In connection with the In stitution; no intention to squander the money of the depositors or to rob them of their earnings. The good intent of the institution was the best In the world, but the Judg ment of the investing bpard was to say the least very raulty and con trary to the laws of good banking. A very large amount, more than half of the deposits, is tied up in Home Telephone securities. The appointment of Mr. T. C. Dev lin as receiver promises well, as Mr. Devlin has the ability, and The Jour nal believes his love of duty and re gard for his fellows Is such as to cause him to exert himself to save every cent of the depositors' money, and pay It over to them as fast as he can collect It. He has a great opportunity to prove his worth In this connection, and If he does, and The Journal be- the bonds by means of a special and ! Heves he will, the service will be the secret dividend amounting to more greatest a man can render, and one ceeded in scaring the president and Inducing him to let up on his cam paign in behalf of the common tax payers and plundered people. It is needless to speculate upon the prob ability of this report, for we shall soon have the president's own words to read and consider. Our guess is that he will not materially alter his attitude or policy, although no doubt a tremendous pressure Is being j brought to bear upon him to do so. It would not be very surprising, how' ever, if he gave way to some extent to the abler and steadier man.

' Rockefeller might earn part of that fine money by becoming; a Chautauqua lecturer. The Alton has some reason for think ing it should have an immunity bath if Harrlman does. Shouldn't senatorial courtesy prevent the prosecution of the powder trust or the smelter trust? As a persecuted benefactor of the hu man race, Rockefeller is perhaps the happiest man in the country.

The casual observer of this little western town might at the first glance think I had picked out a very poor sub ject. On the contrary. I think it is the very beat, especially if you are the rail road agent in a place like this. This burg Is small, but we have all the griefs that come the way of the information bureau manager or the union lamest depot. An ordinary person with an ordl nary job starts the day's work In the morning. I am on deck all the time, so I will begin when the discordant whistle of a locomotive wakes me from a peaceful sleep.

It's all off; then I know there is nothing to do but get up and do what I can to relieve the suffering of that puffing demon; so out of bed I roll, and the cold, crisp atmos phere makes me hustle. Slipping into my clothes, I throw an overcoat over my shoulders, and make a break across the street, stepping on my shoelaces as I go to that shack dignified by the name of depot. I meet a shivering con ductor and brakeman In the waiting- l room; unlocking the office door, I find Now that The Journal contest Is near Ins; an end and the distribution of scholarships and bags of gold Is almost in sight several contestants, pretty well along, are dropping out.

The Journal sympathizes with the stockholders as well as the deposi tors, with the officers of the bank, as the burden this affair places upon them is almost overwhelming in its responsibilities. To President Moore of the bank especially the happening is heart-breaking and affects him greatly. He has the confidence and good will of a very large number of people and nothing will be left un- A Swede having licked three or four or half a dozen Japs, oyer on the Bound, and destroyed a lot of their pictures and photographic ma terials, we suppose threats of war will be resumed.

And this is one specimen of Mr. Harriman's financiering in the Interest of the beloved public. HIGH PRICES FOR BUTTER. I ' T IS believed that Portland Is today paying a higher price for butter than Is any city in the United States. It happens so, in spite of the fact that Portland lies at the gateway of western Oregon, which, by the gifts of nature, is as good a dairying region as there is In the world. What makes the condition phe nomenal is that it is mostly home consumption that is accountable for the enormous figure of 35 cents a pound now quoted. It is true that considerable shipments of dairy products go to the orient and Alaska, but these are Inconsequential in con triving the almost fabulous figures that now obtain-. A larger factor is the growth of home consumption and the diversion of the dairy yield into himself heroically in the trying or deal, to the restoration of every cent of the depositors' money. In short, he realizes the trust Imposed in him. The Journal believes there is a silver lining to this oloud. CLACKAMAS COUNTY. F The Jamestown exposition Is such a failure that the government, to get back its loan of $1,000,000, must take charge of the gate receipts, and then may not take in enough, while other creditors will be "out and In jured."

Who ever saw a young man walk on the water? Those who come to Astoria for the regatta and county fall, saengerfest and meeting of the State Editorial association, which commences on August 30 and lasts until September 4, will see this feat accom plished. It will be the first time It has ever been performed on the Paclfto coast. Similar to the manner in which an eastern man walked from Cincinnati to New Orleans on the waters of the Mis sissippi river last year, a man has been secured who will walk around on the water In the harbor In front of the grandstand erected at the foot of Elev enth street. This spectacular feature of the regatta sports will amaze all be holders. A youth of Astoria has volunteered to be thrown to the bottom of the river tied to an anchor, from which he will cut himself loose and arise to the top, barring accident. He has begged the chamber of commerce to allow him to accomplish this feat, and this gives some idea of the enthusiasm for the celebration In Astoria. free Scholarships for Boys and Girls in Leading Educational Institutions. Sums of Cash Also to Be Distributed Among Industrious and Meritorious Students Who Participate in The Journal Educational Contest. sources a severe "roast" on account of their unyirlftlness, mossbackism, and disinclination to development. The people, he says, don't know how to farm. Neither do they care to farm any better. The cattle are poor, ill-bred, ill-cared-for things; fine op portunities are neglected; though dairy products and fruits are so high and profitable, lands excellently adapted to these products lie unim proved and unused; and In a word, backwoods conditions of a genera tion ago largely prevail. Of course, as Mr. Reed! Intimates, there are exceptions to this rule. We think there must be a good many obey the laws. They must desire to break the laws, or else they would not protest against the efforts that are being made to enforce the laws. other products. The condensed milk exceptions, or else Clackamas county factories, which, Incidentally, are growing and will continue to grow in number, are consuming enormous quantities of milk that formerly went Into butter. The ice cream industry In which Portland has become a heavy manufacturer uses, all the year round, hundreds of tons of cream. Trivial as it may seem, this factor Is a prominent contributor to the fancy butter prices. Still another factor is that butter is now scientifically made, a fact that has given Immense impetus to Its consumption. These agencies, with the swiftly increasing popula- tlon pf Portland and othej-,, Oregon " cities, adding enormously to the con ' Burning population, have made but , ter, in spite of its greatly augmented production, actually a scarcity In the market, with prices far above any record of the, past at this season. It is Impossible to misconstrue the logic of the situation. The condens ing plants will Increase, and they -will consume .more and more milk. Western Oregon, because of feed, cli mate and other0condltions, produces a condensed milk, that brings a price considerably higher than that manu factured elsewhere, That is aa in ttueaca 1Ijt wlll ; ivreatlj stimuJaU, t ' is not keeping pace with Washing ton, Yamhill and others. But there is altogether too much truth In the picture. It may be said by the own ers tjf these little-used farms that It Is nobody's business what or how little they raise. In'one sense thl3 is true, but they can't stop disgusted observers from making comments. Clackamas county is splendidly situated to make the foremost county in the state in everything but popu lation, and the second in that. It lies near to Portland, a large and profitable market. It is large In area, and has fine lands for various purposes dairying, fruit, grass, grain, hops, stock find vegetables. It has great quantities of timber yet for fuel. It has magnificent, water power. There is no reason on earth except persistent and blighting moss backism why Clackamas county should not have 100,000 population within ten years, or less. There is room in that splendid county for two or three times that number of prosperous people. We know that there are a good many enterprising and ""progressive farmers in Clackamas county, but their number ought somehow to be multiplied. A -great and veritable Mr. Harriirjan becomes melodra matic and pathetic, and says that he is not understood, that his great and good works are not appreciated by this perverse and untoward genera tion, but that he will be given due credit hereafter, perhaps after he is dead. We are willing even yet to say a lot of nice things about Mr. Harrlman as soon as he builds need ed railroads In Oregon, and gives Portland decent ocean service. Until then, our heart Is marble to his tears. Old Rameses having been proven a fraud, we suppose the muckrakers will show up Moses and Abraham next, and maybe Adam and Eve.
