MELLENEZED RAILK0AD9 T HU forced retirement of Presl- dent Charles S. Mellen of the new Haven raiiroaa irom tie presidency of the Boston & Maine road is significant, for It may mean the early end of Melleniaed and Morganlsed railroads in Amerl- ca. Railroads have learned mnch since 1903, when Mr. Mellen let! the Northern Pacific to undertake mo tasa ot suDjugaung jnow h-ng- iana 10 a mercuess morgan monop-1 oly. The task was accomplished, but the accomplishment is falling of its own weight . Mellen was the hired man. He carried out orders and seized upon New England's transportation fa cilities, rail and water, including lnterurban lines. The Morgans fur- nlshed the money. They approved the method and accomplishment I The inevitable happened, for with isew England subjugated to i vicious transportation combination, vicious operation oi transportation facilities followed as a natural con-j J. A. McDonald, editor of the To sequence. jronto Globe and a leading Christian New England's recent railroad history is a record of methods dif- ferine in no essential particular from the methods of a high- wayman.

AT LAST HE state of Oregon la to . be congratulated on the fact that there has "been . a final ap proval of the West extension of the TJmaUlla reclamation project, W m3r think we taOW.What re- clamatlon means,, but, we do not KriT: Tt. .i bilitles. ri Only In Italy and some of the v older v countries where Irrlga- I tlon has been perfectly; adjusted to local soil and, climatld Venditions Is there a full realization of 4 what reclamation can do." 1';!vv - In Oregon,- someare doubters as tT Its "possibilities. . That is why there are reclaimed -tracts that are Nor s the doubting confined to Oregon. It Is every where. " That U why but one third "of the . great reclamation areas of Idaho are. as yet occupied" and - In " productivity, It, Is why. in every reclamation dis trict many tracts are neglected with the water at hand and the world calling for products and paying enormous prices for. them. In Oregon, we shall better appre ciate Irrigation by and by. We shall think' more and more of it as we better understand lt.: There Is al most no limit to the things It can do when the scientific union; of water, soil and plant life is ade- quately developed. in time, we shall bring recla- matlon to Its ultimate. We shall have accurate Information as to when and how often to apply water, We shall have dependable knowl- edge as to what crops are ' best adapted to given communities, and what tillage and what methods yield best results. On these points we are yet nnlnstructed, because the science of. agriculture under ir- rlgatlon Is but now working out But it Is a splendid fact that Secretary Lane has finally approved the West Umatilla extension. It as well as every other properly dl- rected reclamation district in the state, means a great deal for the future of Oregon. It means products on lands that ire sterile. It means lifs In re- were glons that were dead. It means men, women, children ana nomes where only the coyote and. the Jack rabbit habituated Nobody has worked harder or longer tor the result finally achieved las to the West Umatilla extension than has Senator Chamberlain.

Through all the dps and downs of the project, Senator Chamberlain hu ben its defender and tro- motor. In this he was ably support- Ud by Senator Lane after the lat- ter's arrival in Washington, and previous to that by Senator Bourne. it fa to b horjed now that there will be no more drawbacks, and that the full development of the project will go on unhampered and nn- hindered. PUTjPTI AlfD PRESS S PBAKINO at the Christian En- deavor convention in Los An- Angeles, Rev. Charles M. Shel don said the press would be greatly improved by eliminating stories of crime. He urged that. newspapers give more space to church and religious news, and put- usn on alternate aays so tnat sational matter need not begiven prominence. Endeavorer of Canada, told the delegates that In his . opinion the church had become a "futile lnstru- ment'" in the solution or problems arising between capital ana laDor. "From my point of view," he said, "the churches of the Republic and! the dominion have in the nast been in danger of losing the national out- look and becoming mere denomina- tlons Of tne intellectual ana wen-1 to - do."
