THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 8, 1811. HHHH CAPITAL SHOULD BE TOLD OF OREGON LAYS Statutes Are So Favorable to J Railroads Thaf European Money Would Pour in for Building Purposes. Coys' Friend Vill Speak To Pcrtlandcrs Portland, Or., Jan. 7. To tho Editor of The Journal.--If -over 700 miles ol railway have been built Jn western Or egon with foreign moe exclusively, and if QreKQaaprQductsJCorJ(L years have been bought by foreign capitalists whose railway bonds in Oregon have yielded them profitable Incomes, Is it not reasonable that after, the opening of the Panama canal these foreign fi nanciers will desire to build additional railroads In western. Oregon under their own foreignrcorporate laws? .They will, because money so Invested in local - railroads running through a country -- that will furnish unlimited timber traffic for the next 60 years. is bound to bring excellent returns. Tnls timber trafflo appeal! especially to for elgn" capitalists, because by shipping from the Oregon coast through the ca nal, they can get lumber to Europe in from 21 to so days. This gives tnem not only their own steamers running from the Oregon coast to European ports, but their own railroads operat ing through the, very timben that would be the important part of the trafflo carried by these ships r Compulsory Seaport Conaeotiom. . furthermore, their railroad bonds or stock so Invested is protected by the KllllnRsworth Saw of 1906, giving com pulsory trafflo connections to all Ore gon seaports. All investors in Oregon railroads now : possess - equal rights. There Is now "free trade" in the con structlon of railroads in Oregon. Un fortunately, foreign Investors are large ly in ignorance of the fact that the state of Oregon extends these rights in all Tnrnnpun innornorated railroad companies just aa.it does, to the Amer ican companies. Foreign corporation now have compulsory trafflo powers identical with those of the American companies and they are permitted to exchange freight trafflo at as reason able rates and have corporate powers pqual to those enjoyed by' the Hill and Wbrrlman .lines. These matters are all rearulated by the governor, sec tary of state, state treasurer and the Oregon railroad commission. taws Should Be Had Known. I therefore suggest that the coming session of the legislature pass an ap propriation bill authorizing the Oregon railroad commission to expend whatever money may be necessary to print 60,- 000 copies of the railroad laws now in existence In Oregon and have the same circulated In Europe, bearing the sig nature of tne governor and the Individ ual members of the railroad commis sion. - s It is useless otherwise, for ua to try to convince foreign railroad Investors that the state of Oregon has given such extraordinary powers to foreign rail way companies, and hence what railway capital from Europe is now invested in this state comes through the channels ' either of the Hill or Harrlman lines in New York, under the erroneous impres sion of foreign Investors that Hill and Harrlman control all the rights to build railroads in this state. One Good Chance Kissed. Last summer a London and Argen tine railroad builder was here with an offer of (6,000,000 for railroad con struction In this state. I was then absent from Oregon, but London cor respondents wrote me saying that while this gentleman Represented $50,000,000 for Investment "purposes, yet he and his associates were Informed that Ameri can companies alone controlled this state. Of course, assertions coming from me or from any private firm in Oregon carry no such weight as would a pamphlet issued by the state. Hence 1 suggest that Governor West and the railroad commission ask from the leg islature the publication of the "Oregon railroad laws and also the right to Issue a monthly report for general circula tion abroad and in America of the va rious opportunities existing in differ ent counties of Oregon for railroad con struction. Buch a monthly publication Issued by the state printer would be Inexpensive and would result undoubt edly in important correspondence be tween the state officials and foreign capitalists, that in turn would result in the building of the very railroads that we most need. . Sailroad Ave What's Heeded. The Investment by the state of Ore gon of $35,000 In publishing its re sources should he left to the various publicity organisations in conjunction with the Hill and Harrlman lines pub licity departments. -What I am afraid of is not a lack of immigrants to Ore gon. The state is well advertised now and its various districts are doing much to place their advantages before the world; but what l iear is mat we win not have railroads to take the people who may come here to the very country that Portland needs settled up the most.

Judge Lindsey will be introduced by Dr. Benjamin F. Young of the First Methodist church, who is a personal friend of the speaker and who has been closely associated with hlnj in his phil anthropic and public work In Denver. Judge Lindsey's work in the juvenile courts and especially among the boys, has been so extensive and of such, a quality that it has almost overshadowed his reputation on the bench in other capacities. Yet he was a successful lawyer whose name meant . much throughout Colorado before he was as sociated with the children's work, which has now so thoroughly usurped his In terest that he has made the future of tne boys his life work.

Jan. 7. A death which robe the world of a boy, prodigy and is attended with more than ordi nary pathos, is that of, Charlie Brown In this city, kpown as the "boy mer chant." -" ' ', - ., ., Charlie was credited with toeing the youngest lad in the west who had ob tained a stock Of merchandise and opeped a store entirely through his 'own efforts.

LECTURE TONIGHT UPON CEMETERIES 'The Cemetery Beautiful" la the sub- Jeot of an Illustrated address to be de livered by Howard Evarw Weed, land scape architect, at the Hawthorne Presbyterian church. East Twelfth and Taylor streets, tonight. Mr. Weed insists that his lecture is neither unique nor weird. It Is to be given under the auspices of the Lone Fir Cemetery Lot Owner' association, of which J. A. Strowbrldge Is one of the most prominent and active mem bers. Mr. Weed has been engaged by the Lone Fir lot owners to beautify Lone Fir cemetery, where 35,000 of the first residents of Portland are buried. The cost" of Improvement is to be $10,-000. The landscape architect insists that a cemetery should have the appearance of a park. Tho monuments should be diversified, the ground should be car peted with grass, and fences and foot stones about graves should be done away with, he aays. Lone Fir ceme tery r he declares, can be brought from the tangle It is now In and be made a place of beauty. Mr. Strowbrldge. who is chairman of the lot owners' association, said yester day that about 800 people whose rela tives are burled in 'Lone Fir cemetery had become members of the organiza tion. There are about 1000 more, said Mr. Strowbrldge, who should be heard from. There have been many manifes tations of Interest In the plan. One man came all tho way from Seattle to see what he could do, another from Seaside, and another from southern Oregon.
