Harrlman made this statement in a public address on the occasion of his last visit to Port land, two years ago. He was ad dressing a gathering of the most rep resentative men of the city and state, and his statement was received with unbounded enthusiasm. It was re garded as the definite, authoritative assurance that the railroad into cen tral Oregon, for which the people had been waiting for weary years was at last to be built and as quick ly as the vast resources at Mr. rlman's command could accomplish It. That statement was made Augus 8, 1905. Two years have elapsed and Mr. Harrlman Is again visiting Portland. What has been done to ward keeping his promise to the peo ple of Oregon?

Brains and Capital. This annual holiday ought to be beneficial to society in general. It . ought to afford a proper pause In 1 which all these three partners should ' think," and resolve to strive together for Industrial peace, for the better ment of society, for the literal es- n tablisbment of the "square deal" all j around. l It will be well for everybody who can to join In and help along this . holiday. Make It as far as possible ' a real one.- Hats off to the brawny arm of Labor, that harvests the crops, that mans the ships, that oper ates the trains, that delves In the nines, that converts the forests Into 1 bouses, that builds cities, that makes the wheels of all Industry turn. And jdon't forget that there are plenty of brains In the laboring ranks, too. UNCLE JOE. U' NCLE JOE CANNON is an In teresting public figure. In many respects he is a like- able old fellow. He Is brunt, brusque, yet Jolly; "off hand"; outside of politics, Demo cratic; and withal Is a man of touch shrewdness, legislative ability, and, according to his lights, of pat riotism. But his "lights" are wrong, dim, j out-of-date. He Is of the old achool of Republican politlclajfe, that came Into power soon after the war, and has been thoroughly tainted ,wlth the political vices of the re gime that Roosevelt is seeking stren uously and yet with some grievous jnislicks, to end. The protective tariff has been the breeding nest of this brood of civic vices, and when a tariff for revenue only Is substi tuted for It they wfll disappear or become greatly diminished. But "Uncle Joe" has lived, moved and had his being so long in this ; tainted atmosphere of legislative L crookedness and corruption, robbing i , ; ,the many for the benefit of the few, fjT n one wav or another, that it is i" now the very breath of political life to him; and what are really great national wrongs he has come to re gard as all right. He thinks that i - the tariff and the trusts and the ' criminal corporations, and enormous y . fortunes acquired through the opera Is tlon of unjust laws, are proper or necessary, and has no svmnathv with V. any efforts or demands for any ... changes. Jge scorns all attempts and ; arguments for reforms of any kind, announce any plans for building a railroad into that part of the coun try," and he adds that until the various routes have been surveyed and the results compared, nothing can be determined as to the con struction of the line. The people of Oregon will find but cold comfort in these vague and unsatisfactory statements. There Is a widespread conviction that Har rlman will do no railroad building in this, state except where forced to It by the imminent danger of I competition. When the people see his construction crews actually in the field, then they may begin to be lieve that a road is to be built, but In the meantime they will build no hopes upon his Indefinite assur ances. perattfres "wera far too high, and the excellence of the dried product dimin ished proportionately.

It Is claimed that with a tem perature of only 130 degrees, hops can be more satisfactorily cured in almost half the time required by old methods. If the plan on further trial proves as efficacious as now ex pected. almost a revolution will be worked In drying; for, by use of the blowers, and by the perfecting of the latter, the cost of drying will be greatly reduced, and the capacity of drying plants be doubled at a single stroke.

And It may have been travel Ing there for thousands or millions of years, and yet so vast is its orbit, if It has an orbit, that since the earli est earthly records It has never ap peared In our solar system before, and Is not expected ever to appear to us again. These statements sug gest to our limited minds space In such terms as to be utterly Incom prehensible, distances of which we can form no conception. We think it useful, however, for adult people occasionally to look into and refresh their memory by read ing, if they have forgotten, a few of the simple yet tremendous facts that the science of astronomy has gleaned that our own sun is but a star, and one of only moderate magni tude; that there are thousands of such suns visible even to the naked eye, millions discernible by the tele scope, and for aught we know bil lions and millions of billions of such suns, each perhaps with Its planet ary system, beyond our ken, and each of these suns tens of millions or billions of miles apart and when we have time to grasp a little, dim, vague realization of all this, think that it, the utmost that we can imag ine, may be only a little patch of the Universe of God. Yet we are prone to think that the earth is the main thing in the Universe, and that mankind on this infinitesimal speck Is the master piece of the Almighty'B handiwork. Such contemplations should tend to keep men duly humble and pre vent them from becoming absurdly egotistical; yet we must necessarily be chiefly concerned with and ab sorbed In our immediate environ ment, and so have a right to re spect and admire out species, on ac count of the relative height to which It has climbed and the remarkable things It has wrought out. The -article of President Buchner of the Oregon and Washington Man- facturers' association, published re cently In The Journal, fairly and con vincingly set out the vast importance f the lumber Industry in this re gion. It needs no very prolonged or deep investigation to see that the prosperity of this Industry is bound up with that of great numbers of people of different occupation, not only many thousands of employes of the lumber manufacturers, but farm ers, merchants and others. Nobody wants the lumber manufacturers to be otherwise than prosperous, and they have ground to protest against the raise of rates ordered by the railroads Yet lumber consumers as such are to be considered and they too have a right to protest If they have cause to believe that a lumber manufacturers' combine is making exorbitant profits by charging un reasonable prices. What is wanted Is a "square deal" all around. Wages In Canada. consui-uenerai cnurcn Jiowe, in a report from Montreal, states that the total number of wage-earners, "covering all classes of employes in manufactur ing establishments, in Canada for the year 1900 was 344.035. and the waees paid amounted to $113,249,350, while for the year 1905 wage-earners employed numbered 391.487. and the total waeea paid amounted to 1164,394,490, the de tails being: In five years the number of employex increased by 47,452, the amount of wages by $51,145,140, and the average waffe per employe by $90.47.

Taken all In all, the production with which the Baker season is opened shows thst a stronger company than ever before Is back of the attractions ac-neauiea ror tne season on that'stnga. Each and every member of the company appears to work In harness all bearing their strain of the burden, with the re sult that there is no lurching In the performance no unsteady or panicky moments. The acts pass as smoothly as though the play had been a month on the boards Instead of one night only. The Baker opening was a most decided success. It will be repeated each night this week, with the usual matinees. Nowj all that Is very clever.' and tnrougn us cleverness there runs a inreaa or trum. ur course me presi dent and the attorney-general can not and will not give assurances that thev are going io protect criminals and mat mey are not going -to enforce laws. Of orld editorial upon the mind of the average reader and It appears to be exactly the" effect which the World desires to produce Is that Wall Btreet and high nnance are entitled to no consideration whatever, and have no rlahta which anyone need respect; and that the pres- iaeni. tne aiiorney-generai ana the sec retary of the treasury are to be com menced ir mey pay no attention what soever to anything which Wall street may think. In other words, that it Is no business of the government In any way io imip ine maraei. Now wnat does the World and thnae who hold to its views of things want? the extermination of Wall street; Is It the wiping out of banking and credit' Is It the destruction of tha delicate and supposedly Important mechanism of finance?
