Marcus Aurellus. THE TRAGEDY OF A FREIGHT RAISE. I F THE opinions of many of the lumbermen are correct, sam ples of which were published in The Journal Friday, the pro- posed raise of rates on lumber will result Injuriously, disastrously, ' even amounting In many cases to a '.tragedy, to a great number of peo- - , pie. The big lumber manufactur- era are not the only ones concerned. If the trouble ended with them the general public might be disposed to pay little attention to the matter. Bat the trouble only begins with - them. Hundreds and thousands and 4 tena of thousands. of people beyond and behlad them must suffer. First are the smaller mlllmen, owners of several hundred mills r throughout the state, who in oon- , sequence of lack of pars or of this ' freight raise will have to shut down. Many would have to do this, have Indeed done so already, because of the car shortage, so the freight ques-j i tloa becomes temporarily, and, as to some, immaterial. But supposing ' cars were supplied, many of these mills would still have to shut down or reduce their, output one halt or more (which they could not do and ran at a profit), because of the raise In the freight rate. This means loss, injury, disappointment, hard ship and In some cases financial ruin : to these men. They went Into the business under certain conditions, s faring 4 no reason to suppose that the freight condition would change adversely. But the railroad com' ' pantes arbitrarily raise the rata and change the whole business aspect of these hundreds of men. A pros pect of success Is changed into a prospect of failure; where they read profit they now read loss; what yes terday , spelled fortune now spells ruin. -1 But we have as yet viewed only the edge of the disastrous results. There tire the thousands of employes end their families, as well as the families of the mlllowners. These men' must hunt up other jobs, In many cases away from home. For tunately, most of them can find something to do, yet It is not easy for a man accustomed for years to one kind of work to take up some thing else, and probably at less wages, and perhaps separated from his family. If several ..hundred saw mills in Oregon that were expected to run steadily shut down, even for a few months, what a vast aggrega- ! . tion of loss, disappointment, suffer- ' Ing and evil it will cause. Did we V exaggerate In saying that the re- V suits would be tragical? I But In ever-widening circles the . " evil results flow outward over the whole body politic, or body Indus-j trial. Men are able to buy less, , and so the merchants lose trade. 7 There Is less demand for the farm ers' products and he suffers loss. t There Is less money in circulation for everybody; some little tincture of tlie blight reaches every member t, of the community. And all this be cause some few railroad managers h decided to raise the rates on lum- . ber. - ; Now we say that no railroad presl dent, or manager, or other official, ; f Or combination of them, should have a right to do this thus arbitrarily. . ' No set of men? should be allowed to V have the power to bring about such V wholesale and widespread carnage. I Before the railroads could do this they should be obliged to show the -interstate commerce commission that inch an advance of rates was nec ';, 'Kessary or reasonable, and. obtain the r permission of that body to make the : ,' Advance. This amendment to the - rate law ought to be pasBed by eon- , f rest early next winter.

Have the demands for ap- thleves of any kind were authorized propriatlons for these schools and or permitted by the law or the man agement to carry on their nefarious occupation. It would seem that all this ought not to be strange, unusual, worthy of especial notice or comment, yet so it Is. Until recently many would have thought it impossible, imprac ticable, or at leaBt finical and fool ish, to prohibit these things, espe cially poolselling on the races. Old time sportsmen would. have said, doubtless did say, that horse racing without open and legitimatized gam bling by bookmaking and poolsell ing would be an utter failure; but they were mistaken. It has been demonstrated that the noble sport of fair, square horse racing can be carried on without public and mat ter-of-course gambling thereon. This shows large moral progress in this state within a short time. Gambling, not long ago almost uni versal and unrestrained, has been outlawed and for the most part ac tually" suppressed throughout the state. The liquor-selling business has been brougTit under stricter re straint, and has Deen pretty thor oughly taught to keep out of poll tics. Thieves and swindlers of vari ous kinds and degrees have a harder field here to operate in than they had a few years ago. There has been a manifest moral uplift, and The Journal, with due modesty, be lieves It has helped to bring it about. the fireworks speeches in their be half, sometimes been tinctured with a modicum of sentimental flap doodles? Has the pulling and haul ing of senatorial elections, the log rolling of school lobbies, the swap ping of votes on measures In gen eral, and the other untoward inci dents of legislative sessions put the figures of normal appropriations on an accurate or an inaccurate basis? Monmouth, by her self-reliance and pushing spirit In the present in stance, is a credit to the state, a true example of good western grit, and supplies most Interesting food for reflection along lines In which future legislators might find some thing of interest.

Do you hold the literal and strict and narrow con struction of the constitution In such fetich-like regard that you persist In Insisting that the legisla ture must "choose," literally, inde pendent of the people's previous choice? Would It be such a terribly catastrophic fracture of the sacred federal constitution if it should be openly and frankly understood that the legislature "chooses" only form ally, and as an act of ratification; that, as a matter of course, and of duty, and yet without any assassin ating designs oa the-constltution, it "chooses" in accordance with the expressed choice of the people?

A horse belonging to John Jacobs, residing on route No. 6, east of town, swallowed a live hawk the other day while eating hay from a straw stack In the pasture. The bird was not a large one and entered' the animal's stom ach nllve. The strangest part of the affair is that the bird did not die im mediately, but managed to perk its way through tha lining of the horse's Btom ach and through the hide. The horse died and was found a few hour later bv W. F. Carv. a neighbor, with the dead body of the hawk half protruding from the' horse's stomach. After peck ing its way outside the tough hide, the bird seemed to have become caught and was unable vo emerge. me peculiar and almost incredible incident is sub stantiated by several witnesses who were called to see the strange freak. It Is supposed the hawk had burrowed In the hay and the horse In eating from the pile of hay accidentally swallowed the bird.

Our life in the camp was muoh enliv ened by the. antics of Charley, the pet clam I have mentioned in previous ar ticles. Charley was a cute little fellow, and would come gaily out of hi. shell one. and awake me In the morning by lick ing my face. A curious instance of bt. Intelligence is this: On day. when It threatened rain, or even when the weather bureau predicted showers, Charley would never leave his .hell; he called It his hardshell machintosh. The little fellow would also turn pale when any one in the course of conversation would express a liktng for clarr. broth or chowder; and It wa. all I oould do to reassure him on such occasions by tell ing Mm that he wa. too "tough" for chowder. He usually replied with a tearful .mile that many a tough body hid a tender heart. Charley wa. very fond of mualo and delighted to set the pianola going on a ragtime song to which he could two-step.

'Twas a hot night in December on a cold September morn, When an old and gray-haired youngster, whose raven locks were shorn. Came walking down the boulevard on his brand new tandem wheel: The band was gone from off his shoes, his hat down at the heel. He whistled blithely, gaily,, as he chewed a wisp of hay; He was hurrying to .catch a train, for he had come to stay. The birds were sweetly e-fnglng, for the night was bitter cold; A hobo passed along the street, his pocket, lined with gold. The band .was playing "Dixie," and all was still ji death.

At the last offi cial count there had been more moun tains of timber stolen In the state of Oregon than Is contained in both hem ispheres, including the Aurora Borealis and the Milky Way. There are men in this state who have their cellars chock full of timber land and a lot piled up In the woodshed.

Look at the result of this wholesale burglarizing of timber lands. See what it has brought us to.- Here It Is almost winter again, and not a darn stick of wood in the house.
