A BIO THING FOR THE OREGON
! )':: COCNTRT.
' ' : ? a'
: MUS LOCATING here of the enor-
1- moug . packing plants Is a big
thing not only for Portland, but
, : ..for the entire tributary region
. . The Journal commented on this
months ago, when It exclusively
roresnaaowea -tne result - now ren
dered a certainty. Here will be the
greatest livestock market west of the
Missouri river, if not west of Chi
cago. This will encourage stock
raising and make it more profitable.
This in turn will make a better mar
ket for various farm products. The
whole vast region from British .Co
lumbia to California, from the Rocky
mountains to the Pacific, will be
. benefited.
"' Portland, the commercial and
transportation , center of this
great " region, : will be more
directly benefited. This busi
ness will at first employ hundreds of
men for, many months in construct
ing their plants, and then hundreds
of men, permanently, who will make
their homes here and. many of them
will be men with families. This ot
itself will add considerably to our
population and volume of business.
, Bat beyond this, the building here
of this enormous Industry Will at
tract others. It will advertise Port
land as all our efforts for a year
could scarcely dd. The city where
Armour and Swift locate, after a
careful examination of all the cities
on the Pacific coast, must be. all
right., people will say, must be the
best city of that region, the one des
tined to pre-eminence. . So other big
capitalists and enterprises will fol
low. ; And they will judge rightly.
No clty: of the coast is so favored In
point of location as Portland.
' But there will be another large re
sult. "These great plants will stim
ulate and hasten the construction of
other transcontinental and local rail
road lines to this city. The north
bank road Is as good as here already.
The road to Salem is finished. And
others' will have to come; These big
industries will hasten their coming.
;i Portland Is all right. It Is just
' beginning - to come into , its own;
There are ino hard times here. The
little wave off depression will soon be
past and forgotten. Push and pull
for Portland, for Oregon, for the Pa
' ciflc northwest. We' have the finest,
most enjoyable region, and the one
with the greatest opportunities on
earth. There is room for everybody
here but the pessimist and the
knocker.

THE PIPE DREAM METHOD.
BECAUSE IT is spokesman for
the politicians who propose, if
possible, to elect a legislature
. that will take away from, the
people their right to nominate can
didates in the primaries, their right
, to select senator, their right to make
laws and their right to veto laws
and ' appropriations, the Oregonlan
has frequently to be mentioned In
, these columns. That paper's known
distrufet of the plain people is of
record in many of Its late editorials.
Yet It'" is out with an argument
against Statement No. l, claiming
that method ot . selecting senator
does " not secure the "people's
1, choice." . Remembering that the pa
per hates anything 'savoring of "the
people's choice"4 as the devil hates
' holy water, its objection to a meas
ure on the ground that it does not
secure ; "the people's choice"' is an
v immense hit in. comic opera. It
says: "The Statement No. :i system
of v electing senator, by the people
does not secure the people's choice
i and is humbug.'
- Then every attempt, by every plan
of nomination or election, does not
secure "the people's, choice" and Is
humbug.' Every governor, every
secretary of state or other officer
that haa been nominated by a con
vention was nominated by a minor

to deny it? If nominated ty a mi-"

ing, no candidate ever: elected after
such nomination' became "the peo

HARRIMAN'S VICTIMS.
T
HREE PEOPLE killed and 28
injured, .this time right at
home. Hence we notice and
feel it more. It happened on
a Harriman . railroad, near Forest
Grove. An old, light, rottep rail,
long ago unfit for use, broke, or
split, and several cars tumbled over
Into a gulch. The train crew ws
careful, at least was running slowly.
But the-"accident" was long over
due. A similar, one Is likely to hap
pen any day anywhere on a large
portion ot the Harriman lines in
Oregon.
The roadbed Is out of repair The
rails are antiquated. Harriman can
not afford to buy new rails, and if
he did, the bloated steel trust, that
governs the country to a great ex
tent, will sell him poor ones at an
extortionate price. He cannot af
ford to hire even common workmen
to repair or watch his roads. He has
lately discharged thousands of
them. Tens of thousands of men
want work, but Harriman sends out
trains whose passengers must risk
their lives to ride. '
Harriman can't keep his roads in
Oregon, in a safe condition, although
In 10 years he has ma.de $30,000,000
net profits out of the people of this
state. He Is building a $4,000,000
mansion, yet his parsimony causes
the death of a woman and her baby.
and a man, and maims many. Yet
now he and other railroad magnates
are combined to starve workingmen
and scare voters by refusing to build
and improve, and they charge the
people with hostility , because they
Insist on government regulation of
railroads.' '
