IX la an inter view today, C. A. Barrett, representa tive from this county, declared himself strongly upon the subject of the sen atorahlp. : He la a Statement No. 1 man and declare that he will stay with hta pledge regardless of the efforts now being made to influence statement men to the contrary. According- to Mr. Barrett the antl atatement agitation la largely In the na ture - of a reconnoiaaanoe to find out the strength of . the Statement . No. 1 proposition, v He believe a that it will be found that the atatement men are all going to atay with their pledgee ana mat wnen ut raci la ascertained the opposition to Chamberlain's election will melt away. "It la simply a matter of common honeety," declarea Mr. Barrett "The atatement men are pledged to vote for the popular choice for senator and Gov - ernor Chamberlain' waa choaen. State ment " No. 1 men cannot go back on their pledges without being dishonest "If a man la dishonest in politlca to me extent or Dressing a aoiemn pieage he will be dishonest In other things. He will be dishonest iq buslneas. If he were & merchant he would not be entitled to credit from wholesale men or bankers or anyone else. "The movement to set Statement No. 1 men to so' back upon their pledges is really an insult to those men because the whole thing is based on the idea that the statement men may not be honest enough to keep their pledges." Not only is Mr. Barrett strongly in favor of voting far Chamberlain be cause he received the popular vote, but he alao has much confidence in his senatorial ability, despite the fact that he is a Democrat. According to Mr. .Barrett, ine governor snouia mass ure on a very creditable senator. But re gardless of whether he will or not he should be elected because the people showed by their votes last June that they wish him to be senator. Regarding the organization of the legislature, Mr. Barrett declared it yet too early to say much. He says the statement men are keeping still and are allowing the antls to talk upon this subject. However, he Intimates strong ly that should the senatorial question be brought into the organization that fact will force the statement men to unite for their own defense.

What is claimed to be v the most complete and perfect tunnel for passenger traffic to De round anywhere in the world has just bsen completed in this city and will be opened for use dilrlng the coming week. It is known as tbe Washington street tunnel and Is designed to relieve the .congestion of the narrow and crooked streets of Boston's business ssctlon. The tunnel will be used to carry the trains of the' Boston Elevated Railway company through the downtown section of the city. The. old tunnel, known as tbe Tremont atreet subway, which was the first to be built In America, will be employed exclusively for the so-called surface car traffic. With both tunnels in use the --downtown streets will be practically relieved of all streetcars. The new tunnel is M7 feet long. . It Is fireproof throughout. Alt the steel construction . is protected Dy concrete from rust or fire. All the doors and ticket booths and escalator balustrades are encased In sheet bronze. The tele phone offices and package rooms and electricians' closets have tiled walls of masonry. The signs ax' of metal and the seats and benches of cement. There Is not a bit of wood throughout the completely fireproof structure. Built Without Mishap. " The construction of the tunnel varies in' different places, being adapted to tbe constantly changing conditions of the streets and buildings above it. Sometimes a vault is used, held to- f ether by ties in some cases, and edme Imes the roof is spsnned by girders, and in the choice of these methods one factor waa the necessity ofeontlnuins traffic in the streets whlUrconet ruction was in progress. In acoompiisnmg mis the engineers achleveda great success. The tunnel was berunrand finished with no disturbance to tie trafflo overhead. To Insure against the cutting off of the current at any time and thereby plunging the stations Into darkness, three different sources of supply are ar ranged for, each Independent of the Other, and all so arranged that should the current be shut off from one source It Is instantly supplied from another source automatically by an arrangement of the main switches.

Stockholders of the 0.1 & K R. R. Have Received 79 Per Cent The Oregonian newspaper on November 17 made the startling announcement that on oath, before the tax equalizing board of Multnomah county, officials of the O R & N railroad announced that the directors of the great highway had this year paid dividends of 79 per cent on its common stock, and 77 per cent on the pre ferred stock of the company, This-is "going some," isn't it? ISN'T IT GOING SOME? ISN'T IT GOING AT A TREMENDOUS PACE? That's Twenty Times as Much as the Banks Pay for Money This week Tohir D. Rockefeller has been testifying before an Ohio court, and declares that the capital stock of the present Standard. Oil Company was at the begin-. ning only $4,000. It has made thousands of persons rich, his own private fortune being FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS! It was the stock of the com pany that paid these matchless fortunes to its owners. Bank deposits or land mortgages, even at 10, would yield but pauper incomes compared with the Standard Oil. Lvcry Great Fortune in America Has Been Made in Stocks of Corporations, and Those of Gold Mines Stand at the Head The stockholders of ths O. R.& N. railroad might have -invested In bonds or Placed their money- In a bank, or loaned it out on real estate, but they didn't do It. They bought the railroad company a stock and prosper with ths railway. They procured the atock when It was first on the market, and left It to the management to make their Investment pay. - And that Is exactly what h been done. The great corporation has been cCbin" climbing; CLIMBING! until a. mighty ' h Admantine Hills, and every stockholder has risen with It. IT IS THE MAN WHO BUYS THE STOCK.. THAT GET S RICH, not the one who tucks his savings away lVTt per cent bank. THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE BANK GET RICH BECAUSE HE DOES IT the depositor makes them rich but the latter plugs along letting his money work for some one else Instead of woricing for himself. Such csnnct see an Inch ahead of their noses. They do not seem to know that no man on earth would start a bank If there were not mors fn It than 6 per cent per annum. They do not know that he would not starra bank it he were not sure of more than 10 per cent. They are Ignorant of the fact that bankera make as much as B0 per cent on the money of their depositors, therefore, it is strange that INSTE AD OF DE POSITlNOTHEIft MONET IN THE BANK. THEY DO NOT BUY THE STOCK OF THE BANK, and share In Its profits. Our Gold Mine Stock Will Pay 60 to 150 Per CcntTcr Annum To show the value of some small paying stocks It may be mentioned that the American Brass company pays only 6 per cent, yet its shares are sold on the stock exchange at 1100 each. The Union Typewriter is a 7 per cent stock snd it sells at $110 per snare. Pratt & Whitney per cent goea at 1100, Borden's Condensed Milk pays 6 per cent and its shares sell at 1100. its preferred bringing 110; National Cash Register 7 per cent stock is worth 1117; Nlles Bement Bond 8 per cent. $100 to $110; Otla Ele vator per cent, $101. etc With these figures before us we cannot help but wonder whst will be the value of our shares, paying (0 per cent to 130 per cent on their cost, once wa are In full swing. We wonder more thst people will buy these low Interest stocks, when there Is at their beck and call a proposition of the magnitude ef THE OREGON-GOLD HILL MIN ING COMPANY, with its 700 tons of ore upon the dump, and ws lacking only the funds "o buy a mill-to extract the gold from it. The People Do Not Know What We Have , Got, That Is the Reason They do not know that $1$ miles from Portland, and only V4 miles from the town of Gold Hill, we have a gold mine rich enough to build castles in every large city In the United States. We are confounded with the small concerns we are not understood our magnitude is not realised the Immense volume of our ore deposits Is not known or this stock at 10 cents per share would not last three hours on this msrket. How Rockefeller Did It In a recent interview reported in the New York Journal, John D. Rocke feller has given one of the Important principles which has helped him to schlave the most gigantic fortune known to modern tlmea In that inter- view Mr. Rockefeller stated that at the age of IS he waa digging potatoes for a neighbor at the munificent rate of. 75 cents for a day of 10 hours. He had already saved a little money, "and it dawned upon me one day." said tbe oil king, "that If I icould Invest what 1 had saved at 7 per cent, which was the legal rate at that time. I would soon get more than I could earn at digging potatoes, and not have a backache, either. I was very deeply Impressed then with the advantage of having your money work for Sou. and' he added characteristically, "I have never forgotten that." 'ever forgotten It. Indeed! Today Rockefeller has a fortune of FIVE HUNDRED" MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to bear witness of the constancy of the thought in hie mind. But Rockefeller did not make his appalling fortune by hard work or in stocks that netted him only 7 per cent Not on your life. If, when dig ging in the potato patch, he had $S,S00 and had put It at Interest at the rate of 7 per cnt, letting It compound for 60 years, he would have bad $199.KS4.1S. Tom Lawson, in his recent attack on Rockefeller, tells us that Mr. Rockefeller made in 45 years, not $199,664.15, but FIVE HUN DRED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS the life earnings of 1BO.0O0 people. Rockefeller Put His Money to Work The oil king Is, of course, a phenomenon. Such Instances of great In dividual success are comparatively rare, but the point la that as Rocke feller got rich, he made others, thousands of others, rich with him. His success began In 1865, when Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Andrews and Mr. Flagler united aa a firm, the cauae leading to the combination, to qnote Mr. Rocke feller's own words, being: "To unite our skill and capital in order to carry on a business of some magnitude and- Importance in place of the small business that each had separately carried on." From this combination sprang the Standard Oil company, which. In 2 years, has earned for Its stockholders over $800,000,000, enriching Its early . stockholders far "beyond tho dreams of avarice." The Laming Power of Money When money and opportunity get in touch the combination - has tre mendous breeding possibilities. An astounding prolific crop of dollars Is the result. Some men look at the opportunity, but do not perceive It. Others many others do. Those, who recognise the smile beneath Op portunity's mask, firmly telse. her, and are swept onward to great fortune. For example: It Rockefeller, say. In 18J, not having learned that deposits at Interest represent the' minimum earning power of money, as the strength of childhood represents the minimum power of man if, we say, not having learned this he had bought In 1899 a i per cent certifi cate of depoalt In the Chemical. National Bank of New York, his money to date would have earned him 3 per cent per annum, while, if he had BOUGHT SHARES OF 8TOCK in the Chemical National Bank In the earns year, his money WOULD HAVE EARNED HIM 150 PER CENT PER ANNUM! Why, then, will men and women rent out their money? The bank will pay S to 4 per cent rental for its use. Enterprise pays the bank 7 to 10 per cent. Then enterprise Invests the loan in such projects is this snd is started on the roid to fortune. In London, for ex ample, the big banks lend to smaller private banks, the private bankers to note brokers, note brokers to nots and time-check shavers, and these to merchants of the less conspicuous classes. Money, therefore, earns its smallest mites for the original depositors and scatters its earning capabll itlea along until it has ended its usefulness in enriching the man who puts It into tha channels of his business. Functions of a Corporation A corporation, like a bank. Is formed under corporation laws. Like a bank. It Issues sad sells stocks. Like a bank. It has shareholders, di rectors and officers, and, like a bank. It la farmed for the purpose of mak ing money. We form a corporation as Mr. Rockefeller formed his: "To unite skill and capital, in order to carry on a bualness of some magnitude and importance, in place of a small business hitherto car ried on." And while It Is not given to all corporations to achieve the success of Standard Oil, the fact remains that, producing a product that people use and want, together with wise snd conservative management, auch companies frequently achieve most spectacular successes. THE EARN ING POWER OF MONEY INVESTED IN A PRODUCT IS LIMITED ONLY BY THK DEMAND OF THK PUBLIC FOR THAT PRODUCT! IF SUCH PRODUCT BE IN WIDE DEMAND, EARNINGS MUST NECES SARILY BECOME THE MORE STUPENDOUS 1 Find something that people want then manufacture It. 'The world will beat a pathway to your door." But, above all. we readers of Ths Journal must remember that we live In America, the magic land, where people poor yesterday are rich today a land of millions snd millionaires. We sre residents of the great est country beneath the sun, and in a part of that country the equal of which is nowhere else to be found on earth. If we lived In China, the land where Initiative Is frosen. we might face the hopeless future, fully content to live snd die poor as the poorest of the lassarona of the earth. If we lived In tyrant-ridden Turkey, or lethargic India lands with their future behind them their pall of Inaction could well chill our spirit of en deavor, but WE LIVH IN AMERICA IN OREGON IN PORTLAND and We Have Just a Good a Money-Maker as John D. Rockefeller Lver Had The whole capitalisation of 'the Oregon-Gold HUI Mining company Is but $100,000, and before the public was asked to buy a share of the com- Zany's stock the directors opened up $.000 feet of the property with two unnels. and If we can only install a mill capable of handling SO tons of ore per day we can pay 60 per cent on tbe investment. What does this mean? It means that $100 put into this stock now will return $60 each ?ear to the owner of the shares; $200 will return $110: $300 will pay $180; 400 will pay $250; $600 will pay $$00; $600 will pay $360; $700 will pay $420; $800 will pay $480; $900 will pay $40; $1,000 will pay $600. or $1000 return to the Investor $100 per month for more than a lifetime. One thou sand shares. If bought for cash, may be had for $0, and 10,000 for $900, so that the latter sum would create a eonatant income of $(00 per year, and $1,800 would bring in $1,200 per year, or two thirds the capital in vested. But If !t b desired to sell the stock, ence the mill Is in operation. It would not be at all difficult to dispose of the shares st $3 to $$ each. In fact, stock returning so greet an interest on the Investment doubtless would sell for as much as $5 or $6 per share, for at $6 it would pay 10 per cent. . But If We Can Install a 50-Stamp Mill. We Will Pay Double This Amount Let us get a 100-stamp mill and we will par profits of at least ISO per I cent, ana ror at least so years to come, in iscc wnn tnai capacity tne person having so small an amount aa $1,000 Invaated with us will have a 60-year Income of at least $1,500 per annum, and thoae with but a $260 Interest in the mine will reap an annual harvest of $376. From present appearances, we believe that we shall have 100 etampe at work within a few montha. Hcarat haa 1.000 in his Black Hills mine, and ae have the Treadwell people in Alaska, and suppose we have half of Hearst's equip ment in ten years AND WE CAN IF THE STOCKHOLDERS SAY SO the person with $1,000 worth of stock st present prices would draw down $7,600 yearly, and the one with $250 worth would have an income of $1,876 each year. . These Are Gold Tacts, People There Is no humbug asseveration In thse predictions. Our Gold Hill Mountain is packed full of free milling $10 ore, and all these figures sre based on only $7.50 rock. Hearst s is only $3.96 quarts, and ths Tread- , well'a Is leaa by 10 cents per ton, yet these mines are paying millions yearly. It Don't Pay to Work for Wages If a laborer were paid $5 per day for every one of the $13 working days of each year for 10 yeara, he would receive $16,(50. This, of course, contemplates no holidays, no sickness and no idleness of any kind. If he paid $6 per week for ooard during this time, the bill would be $3,(00. If It cost nlm $100 per year for clothing and another $100 for medical attention, laundry, amusements snd miscellaneous necessities, $3,000 more must be added to his expense account. Deducting no other items, the laborer would bank $11,050. But suppose he Inveeted $1,800 In the stock of tbe Oregon-Gold Hill Mining company, and received and banked his 60 ?er cent each year, at the end of 10 years he would have the handsome lit is fortune of $12,000 to the good, or $960 more than his 10 yeara' toll amounted to at $5 per day. And from that $13,000 there would be no de ductions for anything. On tbe contrary. If at Interest all this time, as received from the mine, there would be a splendid addition to the sum. Shares 10 Cents Lach Never Assessable You may buy 500 by paying $10 down and $1 per month. Toil may have 1,000 If you will pay $20 down and $20 per month for four montha. . You may secure 1.600 by paying $30 down and $39 per month for four months. You can get 2,000 shares at $40 down ana $40 per month for four months, and other amounts on similar terms. , But if bought for caah, 1.000 ahares may be had for 190; 3.000 shares for $180; 8.000 shares for $270, snd 4,000 shares for $340 end so o alt " the way up the scale 10 per cent for cash being deducted on all pur chases of 1,000 ahares or more.
