NOW IS THE TIME
NE of the chief Influences that
The railroads are no longer in m?S f,
position to ; apply their rule by
take those odd sections within ' the
strip which had been ."previously
disposed of. reserved or occupied by
setUers." To : make up . for ' sucn
deficiencies ' as : might eorae from
these' causes, congress made further
provision ; by - which odd numbered
sections r could '. be selected ; In lieu
of unavailable odd ' sections in ' thi
40 mile strip," the selections Wf b9
made from a strip 10 miles wide on
each side of the originally designated
40 mile widearea. -V . ; sv-.
Obviously none of these odd num
bered sections. In either, strip, could
be selected until after survey, while
settlement could be made prior V
survey- Some of the lands, particu
larly iii the , outlying strips, in all
probability, have not yet. been sur
veyed. ' -. ',-:,; - :
This condition puts the bars down
for the railroad company to contend
that it has not been able to acquire
the full measure of the . grant . to
which It was entitled by the grant
ing act, and to ask that such poten
tial area be Included with that actu
ally acquired, as a basis of settle
ment ':
This contention. If it Is raised
as it has been intimated will be
the case, together with others, will
make the suit for an accounting ona
of vital ; interest, both to the gov
ernment, the companies and the peo
ple of Oregon; to the government
because it must disburse the fundi
in final account: to the company
because' the larger the acreage the
larger, the final sum it will receive.
and to the people of Oregon because
the more the defendants are given
from the proceeds of the grant land
sales, the less the school fund and
the port and road funds will receive
for their, respective uses.

AS A JAPANESE SAW THE1I
"C
OMPETITION between dif-.
ferent railroad companies has
resuHed in duplication of
service to the point of a loss
all round in many districts."
This Is the statement of a mem
ber of the Japanese mission after an
exhaustive study of the railroads of
America. It ia a conclusion that is
sound to the core.
For example, there Is duplication
in the wasted effort In which the
Union Pacific carries traffic past
Portland to Puget Sound In order
to engage In competition with the
northern, railroads at that point It
is a needless and wasteful haul of
186 miles, a needless and wasteful
expenditure of locomotive energy, a
needless and wasteful expenditure
of car power and man power.
To haul freight the additional 189
miles when the traffio so carried
could be put on the high sea from
Portland at a cost of 5 cents a ton,
Is throwing conservation ; to the
winds, is casting stookhoMers' money
Into the sea, is helping the roads on
ward la their drift toward- the bank
ruptcy about which they are con
stantly shrieking.
By his own words. If this observ
ing Japanese commissioner had par
ticularized, we can be sure that hi
would have cited the situation in the
Northwest as a "duplication of serv
ice" that is nothing but waste, ex
travagance and folly.
The railroads try to respond that
they go where the business is. Whs
made the business? Who made mora
ocean traffio at Puget Sound than, at
Portland?
. Mr. Hill, ; on completion ' of the
Great Northern, built and put on his
own line of steamers to the Orient.
The Northern Pacific sent its own
traffio man to tie Orient to go
business for Its line after making a
contract for Oriental 6teamshlp con
nections. The Milwaukee arranged
for. steamer connections to the Ori
ent and had an established buslnes
the moment its tracks reached Pugt
Sound. '

the roads did not combat in building
