AS TO RIGHT OF WAY
VERY PAIR i chance should be
- M given Mr. Harriman la any Bin
I , cere effort to . get a line into
"V" central Oregon. I In order to
: build he must of course have a right
of way. . His engineers have selected
the Deschutes canyon as the best
route, but question has arisen as . .'to
whether a line through that pass will
- or will not seriously interfere wjjth
a ' government reclamation project.
. It is an issue that would seem to bej
easy to harmonise, pn jhis point:
.the Interests of the state and the in- j
terests of the railroad would seem to
be identical. Reclamation , projects
expanded to the uttermost are prof
itable,: for both. More irrigated
'farms' make more population,-more
products and mere wealth, and these
in-turn make more traffic and' more
profits for the railroad and more,
prestige and strength for the state.
From the business point of view the
interests ,of Mr. Harriman and the
state are joined and- indissoluble. If
the proposed line through the Des
chutes canyon would r hamper the
-reclamation enterprise, Mr. Harrl
;man ought to know it, and it jthat
'hamDerine is a serious consideration,
he should find another route. It
.not; then the right t way should be
".speedily granted and all' possible as
sistance' be given him in that behalf
by the commercial organisations" of
. . Portland and Oregon , ,
The thing that-lsrwanted is this
"and other xattroads. . It Mr. Harrl
, man or 5 other1 private interest will
do the building thai way is greatly
preferred.4;' But it iaactnal building
and surceas: from this overworked
nolicv of a bottled-up Oregon that is
- Insisted upon. Every public and prl-
rate influence should be- extended to
Mr. Harriman's assistance In getting
. proper right of way, and to this
fwlicy this newspaper is committed

-NO PACIFIC- WAR FLEET
i HE PROVISION in the naval
bill authorizing themalnfen
ance of half . the navy on the
Pacific coast was stricken out
ynd will not be in the law.. 5 Presi
dent Rocevelt is reported as say
. 3ng It would be foolish to divide the
3avy and keep half of It so far apart
. Tnom the other half. So there is no
present prospect of more than a very
small portion of the navy being
"maintained 1n Pacific waters.
I iW ot the Pacific oast naturally
look at the matter from a local point
f view, and with some measure of
elf-interest, yet allowing for this
there seems to be ample ground for
rgument 'that the more suitable
i Uc for the bulk of the naT at
pTtHn and i the lmue
iMste fntare is along the Pacific
' tatcer than the Atlantic coast.
'.The navy is a war InsUtntlon. It'
li t.u'.'.t for s-a fighting. It is said
io be aa Instrument making ' for
t e ce, becauee It makes other na

says. And many of them predict

could destroy our coast cities and
march over our coast states, pernap?
going so far as to plant the flag of
Nippon on Pike's peak. President
Roosevelt himself has lately inti
mated that if California should pass
a law that displeased the Japanese
there would be war, at once, with
terrible consequences.

TAINTED POULTRY
ciiT a TIOJJ AGAINST the sale
A. of undrawn dressed poultry is
rtfe in . some of the eastern
b cities. There are consumers
in Portland whom the propaganda
will interest. A correspondent of
the World says "dressed poultry In
New .York is often tainted with the
abdominal contest.- Frequently the
gall has burst, rendering the flesh of
the fowl bitter and unm ior numan
food. ; In dining at some oi me oi
restaurants I have been compelled t0
ralt chicken that fcaaben serfia
to me on account of the taint Induced
br tha Intestine haTitig bwn aW
lowed to remain so long in am so
domlnal cavity."

before being shipped. In Boston th
health department requires all poul
try, to be completely cleared of all
waste before sale to - the public.
Portland housewives would probably
welcome a similar requirement in
this city. A sound reason for the
sale ot unusable chicken! heads,
chicken feet and the abdominal con
tent has probably never been
evolved. V '-
Georgia is another state that needs
more railroads, or etenslona. and
improvements of existing railroads,
and that, has had a good, deal of
trouble "over - exorbitant freight

railroad In, that state, and while

appeals for more . and better serv
ice: "If the state will cease' o be
antagonistic to the railroads in this
state I will spend 110,000,000 on the
Central of Georgia railroad.1' " Com
menting on this remark the Farm,

history: and not to in Individual, but

is the same Ous, we suppose, who
not so very long ago helped elect ft
Democrat to one of the most import

The select committee of tbe'jiouse

the duty on the latter rrom o w

by congress, would effect ft long

particular, and would be, ot material
benefit to consumers. . ..
President Taft Is probably the
only man, except perhaps Cleveland
when first elected, who never owned
a home, and Cleveland was ft bache
lor. Taft has always been too poor
to own a home comporting with his
official position, and so has lived in
rented houses. He will have
house free of rent for four or eight
years, and 175,000 year salary, and
go may be able to save enough to
