Statement No. 1 Man De
' clares Himself Strongly
Upon the Subject of the
Senatorship People Must
Be Obeyed. -
(Special Dispatch t The Joornal. )
Athena, Or.. Nov. 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.

; Boston, Mass.,, Nov. 11. 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. To keep the tun
nel at all times free from water, pump
ing atatlons are Installed at three dlf-

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.
