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?

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

the party would suffer. All of

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-

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. Root

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.

Astoria, Or., Aug. 21. 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.

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

break the laws, or else they would
not protest against the efforts that
are being made to enforce the laws.

quantities of milk that formerly went

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,

It is Impossible to misconstrue the
logic of the situation. The condens

-will consume .more and more milk.
Western Oregon, because of feed, cli

a condensed milk, that brings a price

Clackamas county is splendidly

lies near to Portland, a large and

purposes dairying, fruit, grass,

has great quantities of timber yet
