BAILEY TO COOPERATE
11 HE PUBLIC promise by the
, state dairy commissioner that
he will cooperata in the pure
mUk ' movement will, if the
pledge be kept, 'solve the1 Portland
milk problem. Bucn a promise was
tsade yesterday, by Mr. Bailey it i
ure milk conference presided over
by Mayor Simon and participated in
' by the dairy commissioner, members
rf the state and city health boards,
Gty Health Officer Wheeler and oth
ers. Mr. Bailey has 1 consented to
deputize the three city milk inspect
ors, a concession that clothes them
with, full authority to enterand in
spect dairies either within or with
out the city limits. The city paya the
inspectors and arms tbem "with all
necessary 'power within tht city, and
the state dairy commissioner by dep
utiring them, sires them all required
authority ; as , to dairies ' outside ' the
city that ar supplying milk to -Portland..
It is an arrangement that, at
last cleart-the way for an effective
control, of the milk supply, ' If in ad
dition the city council will now pro
vide a laboratory for tha bacteriolog
ical and chemical analysis of milk, the
enginery for dealing with the situa
tion will be completed, so far as
cleanliness is concerned.-
By 1 his. changed ' attitude Jthe state
ifiairy commissioner shifts the respon
sibility for the Portland milk supply
from himself to the city authorities,
' and lays, upon them the burden o
bringing results. , It is a step that is
most wise for him to have taken, for
in all such activities, a spirit of com
promise and cooperation is the surest
means of reaching results.; It is a
course so sane that it Is worth cut
tivating by, any and' all 'who are con
nected with the milk supply, whether
it be dairymen supplying milk, or of
ficials charged with protection of the
public; - - ' f
.. When the sew pure milk ordinance
waa-iramed and- presented -to the

the state dairy commissioner would
cooperate. It Is fair to the mayor
to say that at this time he seems to
be making headway id having the

INCREASE OF FREIGHT RATES
EARLY AU, the high officials
of the big railroads of .the
country are insisting that there
must be an advance in freight
rates, owing to demands for higher
wages of employes. Increased cost o
. materials and improvements, and di
minished receipts due to attempted
national and state : regulation. The
plea is also made that the railroads
must recoup lossef incurred during
the panic of ISW-8.
Whether' Increased freight rates
are justifiable, for the reasons state'd,
is a question of fact that the ordinary
business man or newspaper cannot
answer positively. And the railroad
men are interested parties, and their
representations cannot be taken as
conclusive. But a recent issue of the
Financial Chronicle of "New York,
recognized authority on industrial
and financial matters," contains an
femphatic refutation of the hard luck
stories'-sty industriously circulated
lately by the railroad presidents and
managers. That periodical a month
ago gave the earnings, expenses, tax
es, Interest payments, and every Item
of revenue- and disbursement of all
the railroads in the-country for years
past, by year and month; which fig-
ures ' showed that they were very
: prosperous nnder present conditions,
and that their prospects were , very
bright. t , v ' - . ,
To. mention only a few instances,
the net revenues of the Union Pacif
ic for the three months ending Sep
tember 3p, 1909, were $12,311,998, an
increase of $1,833,989 over the corres
ponding three months of 1908; of the
Southern Pacific, $41,184,640, an in
crease of- $5,941,963; of the Northern
Pacific, $9,195,861, an increase of $1,--095,719;
Great Northern, $712,040,
increase; : $2470; Santa Fe, $Z,
693769, ncrease$19349. .All the
. other roads showed, an increase ex
rept the Chicago, Burlington t &
Quincy. These net incomes, note,
were for but three months, and be
Jore ; the heavy crop moving traffic
was well Tinder way. And the: panic
was pretty .well oycr by; July, 1908,
so that, conditions were about nor
mal in both years. 'Even 'the Bur
lington, that showed a slight decrease,
- - and the -rNortbwesternt7 vWth but a
small increase, had profits of about
?2,000,000" each during the; quarter
mentioned in 1908, which would in

The West for Itself.

The west has been too dependent upon
th east in many ways. It wa natural
in the early development of th west
that w should lean upon th richer
communities on the Atlantic seaboard.
Ther was , not capital enough in the
west to develop It resources, to build
its railroads or to establish llf and fir
Insurance companies. But this . 1 ' all

January 6 in
Today is the birthday of one of the
greatest and moat useful Inventions of
all times, the telegraph. If was on
January , 1888, that th first telegraph
apparatus was completed. Samuel F..B.
Morse possessed the master mind which
conceived this wonderful Instrument
but he lacked the money to carry out
his project. , He gave private demon
strations of what he had accOmptibsed,
but through the financial assistance of
Alfred Vail, also an electrician and in
ventor, Morse's Idea were ' put - into
workable shapa Alfred Vail, following
Morse's; plans, constructed the Instru
ment which was made at the Speedwell
Iron. Works, near Morrlstbwn, N. J.
- Th work ws conducted with great
secrecy. William Baxter, who was an
employe at th works, rendered valua
ble assistance., , Morse had devised a
serlea of 10 numbered leaden types,
which were to be operated in giving the
signals, but which necessitated the use
of a dictionary by which the numbers
could be translated into words. This
wa not satisfactory i to Veil ana he
constructed an, entirely new instrument
involving a lever or "point" on a rad
ically different principle, which, when
tested, produced dots and dashes. v: , s
Vail found that the letter "a" was
the most frequently -used, and he ac-.
cordlngly assigned it the shorter sym
bol, a single dot He visited a printing
office, and from the problem, as Worked
out tn the compositor's case, devised the
famous- dot-and-dash alphabet, mis
named the ''Morse. At last . the ma
