this paralyzing burden.
Rallroail ltiilldlng Needed.
We are living in a commercial age,
and lines of transportation are the ar
teries of commerce. The westward
rush of population follows the rail
roads in every state, and the measure
of railway construction In new terri
tory Is the measure of material devel
opment. The habit of our time Impels
the masses of men to establish homes
and Initiate Industries where they are
In touch with the world and Its mar
kets. The day of the stage coach and
pack train Is ended, and railroads are
the advance agents of settlement and
Industrial advancement.
No transportation company In the
conditions under which we live can be
regarded In any sense as a private
business enterprise. AH are public In
fact and character, and must be held!
to owe duties to the slate higher than
the mere payment of taxes and obedi
ence to corporation laws. i
This western country Is as absolute
ly partitioned among the great trans
continental lines as was ever tha old
world among the barons of the feudal
ages. Freedom of railway construc
tion and operation is the merest fic
tion. Only upon the rarest occnslons
and under peculiar conditions can an
independent road be constructed or
live after construction. Those who at
tempt rival lines are promptly crowd
ed from the money markets, their
stock and bonds remain unsold, and
the end Is ruin or surrender.
Under such conditions the great
companies must accept the burdens
and responsibilities as well as the
profits of the situation they have cre
ated. They will increase In revenue
as the state grows in population.
It Is the duty of the potent system
which dominates this state to prompt
ly send its lines to the Isolated harbors
of our coast and through the vast In
terior region aureoled with promise.
This work has been already too long
delayed. Had the Oregon Pacific
been constructed from Albany to the
Snake river when It passed from the
control of Its builders, Oregon today
could boast a population of an added
quarter million. Had a friendly rail
way sought our southwest coast a de
cade ago a city of material proportions
would now rest on the finest harbor
between the Columbia and the Oolden
Gate.
Time for Action Is Here.
Promises kept In the present will
-veil a deceptive past, but the time of
talk has ended and the season of ac
tlon Is being ushered In. The people
have learned that rails will not rest
on broken promises.
A SQUARE DEAL FOR ORKiiON
REQUIRES THAT RAILWAY MA.t
NATES. EAST AND WEST. SHALL
BE MADE TO REALIZE AND PER
FORM THEIR DUTY TO THIS
STATE. WHICH FOR A GENERA
TION HAS HALTED BENEATH THE
CURB OF THEIR NEGLECT.
The state, the people, must be su
preme. They will deal Justly, hut
must Insist upon and receive from the
corporations, creatures of the state
and recipients of Its bounty in fran
chises and privileges Invaluable, that
which in this age Is justly due.

TO RAISE LICENSES?
WILL THE PRESENT COUN-
C1L ATTEMPT REFORM?
Persistently Rumored That a Raise In

COURT HOUSE REPAIRS.
Expected to lie Completed In lime
For Coining Supreme Court Session.
Work on the remodeling of th
county court house Is now progressing
very satisfactorily and some semblanc
of order Is coming out of the confusion
Into which the building has been
thrown during the past few weeks.
This morning Architect Troutman
stated that the plasterers will proba
bly be started on Monday, and prac
tically the entire Interior of the court
house will be replastered. It Is now
expected that the work will be all
completed early In November com
pleted before the session of supreme
court.
However, the circuit court room wil
be in shape for use In time for the be
ginning of the session of October 24
though the room will probably not be
II finished at that time.
Is the present city council going to
raise the amount of tha saloon licen
ses? That some such action Is being
premeditated has been persistently
rumored for several days past and It
Is said that there is a possibility of
such a step being taken. It Is said
that It was Intended to bring the mat
ter up t the last council meeting, but
for some reason the matter was de
ferred. Just why the present government
should seek to advance the licenses
Just as they are leaving office after a
two years" term. Is not understood, es
pecially In view of the fact that sev
eral are known to be opposed to any
such raise.
In view of this and the past atti
tude of the council It would seem thai
the action, should It be taken, would
be mainly for political effect and de
signed to Influence the coming elec
tion.
By making a show of saloon regu
lation themselves It Is possible that
the council seeks to meet the demand
for reform that has been created re
cently and thus prevent the govern
ment from passing from their hands.
Also It Is possible that the council-
men may think that if the licenses are
lo be raised that It would be better
for the deed to be done by the present
council rather than to risk the mat
ter with those that are soon to be
elected. However this may be. It Is
certain that the subject Is being dis
cussed by members of the council and
they evidently have some plan on foot,
though Just what it Is, will not likely
be known until the matter is formally
brought up at the council meeting.

Under the arrangements now made
for the gymnasium there Is no extra
charge for Its use by mombers off the
association. However, the sum of $1
a year will be churged for the uso of
lockers In the dressing rooms, and also
a deposit of 25 cents Is required for
each locker key.
RAIN WELL APPRECIATED.
Grass Has Started on Foothills and
Streams Are Now Supplying Plenty
of Water.
Perhaps a rain was never more
thoroughly appreciated by all dosses
of people in Umatilla county than the
one which has fallen during the post
three days.
During the harvest In this county
not a drop of rain fell and as a con
sequence many streams were running
low,' wells were dry and grass was
drying up early.
Since the rain, streams are running
full, grass is already springing up
on the foothills and seeding Is general,
or will be, In a very few days all over
the county.
Sheepmen from the southern part
of the county are rejoicing in the pros
pect of good range and the herds will
be In excellent condition for the be
ginning of winter.
GOOD ATTRACTIONS COMING.
Philliamionlc Society Has Secured
Some of the Icadlng Entertainers
In the Country.
The list of entertainments to be
given by the Philharmonic society
during the coming winter Is made up
of excellent numbers. The first at
traction to come will be the Parian
Newhall Concert company, which will
consist of a male quartet of nutlonal
reputation, bell ringers, brass quartet
and specialty acts. This company
will come to the Frazer theater on
October 19, under the auspices of the
society. '"' '
Among the other attractions to
come during the winter are Sam
Jones, the famous preacher-lecturer,
Maro, the Magician, and the rendition
of "The Messiah" by Walla Walla and
Pendleton musicians.
The season tickets, Including all the
six coming attractions, are being sold
at 12.50, or less than 50 cents each,
a remarkably low price, considering
the quality of the entertainments and
the popularity of the people engaged
for the performances.

CLEANSING, PURI
FYING SOAPS
Toilet soaps are all supposed
to be made for the purpose of
oleansing and purifying the skin,
but many soaps have another
quality that of Irritating and
roughening the skin.
The soaps we sell are not only
pure, but they are neutral,
which means that they are all
soap and do not contain an ex
cess of cuticle destroying alkali.
We have pure Soaps at all
prices from Dc to 11.00 per
cake. '
We have a small amount of
our soaps displayed In our win
dow. Can't we sell you soaps?

ALLEGED 1IOGUS CLAIMS.
Effort to Collect for Write-ups In an
Alleged History.
Complaints have been made to Dis
trict Attorney Phelps bv people re
siding in the county, that certain par
ties who published an ojleged histori
cal work of this county several year
ago, are now making an effort to col
lect money from people who were
treated of In the work, but who did
not contract to pay for the same. One
complainant la Jacob Cherry of Pilot
Rock, who states that the company
has been trying to collect a note or
him which he did not sign. The dis
trict attorney has written to the men
regarding the matter.

LARGE SHEEP SHIPMENTS.
At Astoria John Bramer, aged 25
years, has been sentencea to etgm
years In the penitentiary for forgery.
He has a remarkable record as a
swindler.
.1. E. Smith Livestock Company Has
Just Sent Out Two Tralnlonds From
M enchain.
The J. E. Smith Livestock company
of this city and Pilot Rock, has Jus
shipped two trainloads of lambs from
Meacham to Minnesota. The sheep
were purchased by Howard, the wel
known sheep buyer, and were sent to
the Minnesota feeding districts.
Resides this large shipment the
same company has sent a carload of
Shrop bucks to each of the following
points this fall: North Ynklma. Rolse
City. Baker City, Caldwell and Hums
and still hus a large number of the
same breed of young bucks on hund.
The demand for Hhrops Is bonstantly
growing, because of the large Blze and
early mnturlty of the lambs. Along
the railroads where sheep are shipped
fnr mutton, nt all seasons of the yeur
the tendency Is to breed Shrops for
this trade, while In the Interior uis-
trlets where wool Is the principal ob

TEACHERS 1(1 MEET
INSTITUTE CALLED FOR
NOVEMBER 8 AND 3 NEXT.
Expected to Be Largely Attended, and
Will Present a List of Lecturers of
Ability and Reputation School
Boards Expected to Excuse Their
Teachers on Full Pay Affair Will
Be Mode a Social Event and Intel
lectual Treat.
Arrangements are now being made
by County Superintendent Frank K.
Welles for a county teachers' Institute
which has been called to meet here
on November 3 and 4. Under the act
passed by the last legislature no an
nual institute Is to be held In any of
the counties this fall, but the local in
stitutes will be carried on the same
as usual. Consequently, the one to be
held here will probably be considered
as a local Institute, and only two other
such sessions be held during the fall
and winter. However, all of the
tcuchers of the county have been re
quested to attend, and the superin
tendent believes that they will be
present. Letters have been written to
all the directors of the various dis
tricts asking them to excuse their
teachers for that Friday with full pay,
and he states that favorable replies
have been received from many al
ready. Btute Superintendent J. H. Acker
man will be present at the institute,
and City Superintendent Travcr will
also assist. On Friday evening, No
vember 3, there will probably be a
lecture by some prominent speaker of
this state or of Washington, though
no selection has yet been made. State
Superintendent Ackerman will explain
the new course of study to the teach
ers that are assembled.
According to Superintendent Welles
it Is the Intention to make the com
ing institute as pleasant an affair aa
possible, and consequently there will
be a good musical program, and It
will also be made a social occrasion
so that the teachers may become ac
quainted with each other. To this end
there will be little formality about the
meeting and n.t too much hard work,
so that the affair promises to be a
