THE POTLATCII
.ORTTjANDERS will go In nnm

latch. . They ought to, Port
land and Seattle are of the
great Northwest- Their Interests are
, mutual, and their purposes Identical.
If 'Seattle grows, Portland will
itow. If Portland grows, Seattle
will grow. The forces that make
the one. must perforce build the
other.
A state line. Is a nothing. It Is
; sot tangible enough to constitute a
declaration of war. The fact that
It puts Portland in one state and 6e-
' .attle in another instead of both m
. the same commonwealth Is not a
casus belli.
Seattle Is seeking to accentuate
'Alaska and the great Pacific north
' 4jwest by the Potlatch. It is a twin
activity to Portland's Rose Festival.
Zt Is a splendid conception in city
and state life. It , is a great plan
working for the higher life of com-
, - znunltiea and peoples. It is a pleas-
- ant change from the dull routine of
the busy workaday world. It is ef-
fort to drag human activity for a
- brief period out of the ruts and riot
of existence.
It is a movement to be encour

two cities' In the struggle for trans
portation rates, and in a hundred
"other mutual relations, Is reason for

any of Its parts and that the triumph

all parts, . Is ' reason for encourage-

people in large numbers to the Rose

BROTHER CHARLEY
HE BEST thing Brother Charley
could do would be to hibernate.
The country doesn't look upon
him as good society for the
president. He 1b regarded as a sort
of Big Business annex to the cabinet.
The late pronounced bourbonlsm of
.the president Is, by common consent,
attributed to the millionaire brother.
It 1b( the supposed connection of
Brother; Charley with the incident
that gives some color of authenticity

Charles did ; not actually turn the
trick, for the lesser Dick, but few are
Teady , to ; believe that he wouldn't
nave been willing. If little "Dick"
. didn't ask him. nobody will opine
that Jt was through fear that Broth
er Charley would refuse.
We all like to shine under the
reflected light of great and near
t great relatives. Brother Charley
' will never fail to believe that he Is
king maker, and thereby entitled
to loaf around the throne. Whether
he did It or not, the country will In
sist on believing that he actively ap
proved the dismissal of Pinchot. the
extravagant indorsement of "Dick"
Balllnger, the presidential approval
of the Payne-Aldrlch bill as "the
best ever enacted," and Mr. Taft's
earlier war on the insurgents.
It was William H. Taft, not
Charles P. Taft, that the country
elected president.
Oregon Is one of the show spots
of earth. Her Willamette valley is
almost without a rival. Her Colum
bia gorges, her snow peaks, her rlv
ers and mountain ranges, her match
less forests, her Crater lake and oth
er natural wonders are nature in
her happiest mood.
When the great seeing-Amerlca-
first caravan begins to move, these
are sights along the way, and a
necessary part of the vast Itinerary.
Other show places are Alaska, the
Colorado Rockies, and abovo all
Yellowstone Park, the place of
rarest, mo6t picturesque and most
beautiful sights on the globo.
When the earth was finally r-ut In
order for the coming of man, Yel
lowstone with its geyrers as least of
Its wonders, was mado for man, the
last word In creative handiwork to
marvel at. It Is a spot belde which
the best show places of Europt are
tawdry tinsel. And yet. the United
States is spending $400,000,000 a
year In seeing Europe first.
Oregon's reward from a seelng-
Amerlca-first movement will be the
hew men and new money that sight
of the state will draw into her life.
It Is of record that those who come
are delighted and that they are made
parts of us by what they see. It Is
Oregon's greatest opportunity for
expansion when a seelng-America-flrst
movement is inaugurated.
And the nation can profit heavily
by such a movement. The main gov
erning forces In this land dwell be
yond the Mississippi. No president
has gone to Washington from west
of the Mississippi. Aldrich, who
was the power behind the throne at
Washington for twenty years, was
never west of Chicago. Horizons
would be broader, visions wider,
mentalities jnore expanded and con
ceptions on bigger lines, if all the
men of the country could look on the
magnificent distances, the broad ex

ILLAMETTE valley lumber
men are to have a rate on
' rough lumber and lath of
3.50 per ton to San Fran
cisco, except on the Wendling branch
from which the figure is to be $3.75.
The new rate is the result of a
decision by the interstate commerce
commission. Its former order for a
similar rate was voided by a court
decision. The present ruling has for
Its authority the new rate law passed
by congress in June, 1910, and It
will remain effective.
The commission found the South
ern Pacific a heavy earner of divi
dends in Oregon, and declared that
at the lower rate the company would
profit handsomely from the lumber
business.
An Interesting phase of the com
mission's finding is that the South
ern Pacific In Oregon has net earn
ings of $6196 per mile, while the net
earnings of the Milwaukee are $2670
per mile, of the Northwestern sys
tem, $2886; of the Burlington,
$2755, and of the Illinois Central,
$3299. The earnings of the South
ern Pacific In Oregon are nearly dou
ble the figures of the Illinois Cen
tral, one of the hest paying roadB in
the country.
The Intervention by the commis
sion will have large factorship in
promoting the lumber industry of
the Willamette valley. It was Im
possible to ship the rougli lumber
on a $5 basis. This 'pronouncement
is made by the commission Itself.
Transportation rates are the life
or death of any Industry, and pecul
iarly so In the case of lumber. The
Willamette lumbermen are now as
sured a ctahle rate that is fair alike
to them and the railroad, and can
go ahead and make contracts for de
liveries that will stand unchanged
from month to month and year to
year so far as freight rates are con
cerned. It is better for the millmen
and better for the rallroaJ.

Anne Boleyn was the second queen
of the oft-n.arried Henry VIII, one of
the most plsturesque figures in English
history. At the time when he fell In
love with his second wife the English
court had become extremely dull and
senate. Henry himself was not especial
ly endowed with brilliant talents, and
his elderly wife, Queen Katherine,
was severely plain and unusually de
vout.
It was somewhere between 162S and
1527 that this lovely woman, the daugh
ter of an English nobleman, burst upon
the placid and stupid atmosphere. Anne
had spent her early life at the French
court, which was as eay and wicked
as England's was stupid. In France
she had acquired the dash and clever
ness of that court, and naturally, upon
her return hoi.-j to become maid of
honor to the queen, she took the English
court By storm..
Almost Immediately she set herself
to work to win King Henry. This was
no difficult task with such a fickle.
nature. She aimed for the throne, and
It was but a short time until she had
hit the mark. Soon as Henry came to
admire her. he made her a marchioness
and heaped rich gifts upon her. She
feigned lnfiifference, which was. part of
her garre, but she gave, the king to
understand that she was willing to
become the queen of England.
Henry promptly decided to divorce
Katharine. He claimed that as she had
been his brother's wife, he professed
to have qualms of conscience as to the
legality of such a marriage. , lie called
on the pope to sanction a divorce, but
his holiness refused. Henry thereupon
tore England away from the church of
Rome, altered the form of the country's
religion and declared himself sole head
of the English church.
They were married in 1583, and Anne
was crowned queep on May 19. They
had been wedded but a short time when
Henry began to show weariness for
his new"' wife. , There has always been,
and probably always will be, a mystery
in the fact that Anne Boleyn so soon
lost the affection of the king. She did i
