IN. D. FENTON ON RAILROAD SITUATION
The following letter to the Wlllam- reach the orient, its hops must go to
ette Valley Development league has New York unci London. Iti farm pro
been made public here, In which Wll-' ducts ot other kinds muHt largely da
llam D. Fcnton, chlet counsel of the pend on a local market
Ilurrlman lines In Oregon, discusses "The development of Coos Day Into
the proposed belt lino from Ontario, a market for the orlont and other sec
vrt) Drain to Coos Hay and the devol- tlons of the world will not affect or
opmunt of that harbor, as follows,
suys the Salem Statesman:
'"First, while I am not familiar with
the possibilities of the harbor of Coos
Uuy. I have no doubt that the con
struction of the railroad from Drain
to Coos bay, which is now a certainty,
will brlns public attention to the nat
ural advantages of that section, so
that all the possible bcnoflts will add
largely to the material wealth of the
state and will not In the slightest in
terfere wlh the material advancement
of any other section of the stale.
"While it may be fairly conceded
that the Improvement of the mouth
ot the Columbia river Is at this time of
lurger Importance to the present com
merce of the northwest, It must al
ways be borne In mind that a state
must be developed In ull Its sections,
and that one section ought not to be
developed at the expense of all others.
I do not believe in abating any effort
to secure the improvement of tho Co
lumbia river, but I do not think such
effort should minimize or affect dis
advantage ously needed development of
other coast harbors. Just now the
eyes of all southern and western Ore
gon are turned toward Coos Hay, and
I am persuaded that the development
of the harbor and the business of that
section of the state will bring ridded
wealth and business of benefit to every
other section f the state.
"Second, It ought always to be
borne In mind that the development of
uny section of tho state is of greater
advantage to the people and the com
munities served by such development
than It an possibly to the trans
portation line.
"The Increased business which a
new line of railway may bring to It
self Is but a small fraction of the
great volume of material wealth cre
ated and distributed to the popula
tion served by such a new line. To
Illustrate, while the construction of a
line of railroad from Ontario to the
Willamette valley and from Drain to
Coos Bay would practically give
belt line of railroad through a central
portion of the state of Oregon, and
bring to that new lino a certain volume
of business, giving to tho transporta
tion company that may construct the
line a certain Income, this Increased
traffic thus handled by the railway
company, and this Increased revenue
is leas than 10 per cent of the total
developed wealth coming to the state
on account of the construction and
operation of such a line.
"Third. Another Important fact
ought to be always remembered in a
rilscnsslon of those questions. There
Is an eqmllty of benefits and a dls
tributlon of added wealth which af
fects every Interest in the community,
and it ought not to be forgotten that
the Interests ttt the railroad aad the
communities served by them are mu
tually Interdependent
"If a community does not prosper.
the transportation lines necessarily do
not prosper, tf there is Increased
population. Increased manufactures.
Increased subdivisions of farms and
added families, there must of necessi
ty be Increased revenues coming to
the railway companies serving ouch
communities.
"I believe that tho northwest Is on
tho eve of a great upward and forward
movement and In that movement lies
the hope of western and southern Ore
gon. Tho Willamette valley Is capa
ble of sustaining a population of more
than 100 times that now here. South
ern Oregon could easily maintain 50
times tho present population. Instead
ef farms of large area there would be
subdivisions Into small parcels and
close and intensified farming encour
aged, and a market for the produce
provided.
"The history of the stato of Wash
ington on the north demonstrates the
fact that the prosperity of a graat
commonwealth Is augmented by the
development of large centers of pop
ulation In various sections of the
state. Washington has Tacoma. Ev
erett, Bclllngham, Spokane and Walla
Walla as active and populous centers
of wealth, trade and Industry, each
city affording a large and constantly
growing market for tho products ,f
the mill, soli and mine.
"The state of California on tl.e
south has two hvrge and rapidly grow
ing cities, and while undeniably true
that the chief markot nt the present
time for the products of the Willam
ette valley Is the city of Portland. It
Is nn admitted fact that much of the
produce of the state must be shipped
to foreign markets, manufactured nnd
sold, bought or shipped to Galveston
for steamer transit to Europe or to
New York for transhipment,
"Its lumber must reach a mnrket
In tho Mississippi valley or In the mir-
kcts of the world across soas, its
wheat must be ground to flour and
retard the great growth and develop
ment of other sections of the state.
What Is needed primarily Is a (jojii
market for tho man who lives upon
tho farm or Is engaged in manufac
turing wherever he may he. Give him
a good market and the centers, of
population will take care of them
selves. The prosperity of all sections
of the stato must finally rest upon
the man who Is the producer, and nit
tho man who Is merely noting as a
clearing house agent.
"I bespeak fur your development
conventions an enthuslaKtlc and hope
rui outcome, and I trust and believe
their deliberations will be guided by
wisdom and a desire to benefit all sec
tions of tho state and primarily to
awaken a new spirit of enterprise and
hopefulness In that section of the state
that has so long been dormnnt and
thnt has so long been neglected. Yours
truly."

Damage Suit AgnlnHt noise.
Suit waa brought In the district
court Friday by Luther Snyder, of Me
rldlan, through J. C. Johnston, his at
torney, for the recovery of $3000 as
damages for false Imprisonment In the
city Jull a year ago. The defendants
to the action are Jared Doollttle, John
Maloney, J. R. Bock and George
Schweitzer, who are claimed to have
been Instrumental In causing Snyder's
arrest
It will be recalled that Snyder was
arrested by the police for a violation
of the city ordinance prohibiting the
peddling of meat without a license.
He refused to pay the fine imposed
by the police magistrate, and was
thereupon committed to Jail. He was
released on a writ of habeas corpus
from the supreme court, and the mat
ter was later appealed to the district
court and thence to the supreme court
It was held that the ordinance under
which Snyder was convicted was void,
largely because of tho fact as shown
that the meat he was peddling was
raised upon his own ranch.
Snyder, who Is a farmer, residing
near Meridian, now brings suit against
the four butchers named, charging
them with having been responsible for
his arrest and Imprisonment Boise

Physicians From Three State Have
Mut at Memphis.
Memphis, Tcnn., Nov. 21. Nearly
500 physicians from Mississippi, Ar
kansas and Tennessee are assembled
here at present attend the trl-State
Medical association convention, which
opens here today for a three days ses
sion. The opening session was held,
us In former years, in the Hotel Ga
yoso and .as rullw to order by Dr.
H. L. Sutherland of Itnsedulc, Mls.,
the president of the association. The
attendance Is larger than ever before
and the Interest among the delegates
Is greater than In former years, owing
to the fact that matters of the utmost
Importance to the three states repre
sented In the convention will come up
for consideration.
The Trl-State Medical association Is
the largest and most Important ointrlct
medical society In the south and its
ttievtlngK are practically a clcurlng
house for medical Information, as the
physicians get together nnd exchange
Ideas and Information ami profit In
each others' experience. This year
many Important papers will be read
concerning the prevention and treat
ment of yellow fever, malaria and
other diseases prevailing In the Mis
sissippi valley. The entertainment
program Includes a banquet which
will be tendered to the visiting dele
gates tomorrow evening. The quar
antine question will be carefully discussed.

Feeding Six Weeks Early.
George V, Lelghton has returned
from a visit to his sheep ranch near
Payette. lie said over In that section
sheepmen were having to feed from
a month to six weeks earlier than last
year and that already nearly all the
hay in the Payetto valley had, been
bought up. Mr. Lelghton said ho
commenced feeding his lambs on the
10th of the present month. One thing
that is helping out the sheepmen
there, said Mr. Lelghton, Is that the
sheepmen of the upper country were
not bringing their herds down to the
valley for winter feeding as they usu
ally do, but are securing feed nearer
their range. Mr. Lelghton said
that probably considerable corn woald
be shipped In for feed later In the
winter. Hay Is selling for $4 a tou
generally, but he tried to purchase
two or three small lots of hay and
could not secure it for less than 14.50.

Little Rock. Ark., Nov. 21. The an
nual meeting of the Masonic Grand
Lodge of Arkansas, which convened
hero today. Is one of the most Import
ant which has been held In this state
for many years. It also means a re
sumption of the annual sessions. For
six years, by special provision of the
grand lodge, biennial sessions were
held as a matter of economy, that the
money might he used in discharging
the obligations due to the Masonic
Temple. By this means the board of
control will be enabled at the meet
Ing. which opened today, to lift the
debt of (10,000 still remaining on the
temple, and to have a balance of about
130,000 to form a nucleus of an or
phans' home fund.
There are two Important matters to
he considered at this meeting of the
Grand Lodge, that ot the establish
ment of an orphans' home and itn
amendment to the constitution pr
vldlng for biennial sessions for a per
iod of 10 years. It is believed thit
there will be favorable action upt i
both matters, as they are correlatl'
nnd are close to the hearts ot tl t
Masons of Arkansas. The biennial
meetings and per diem and other
Grand Lodge expenses to be applied
to the orphans' home fund. There Is
a strong sentiment In favor of estaii
llshlng the home In this city.
Profrnraw on tlie Anthony line.
Among the signatures placed upon
the register of tho Idanha Friday was
that of J. B. Evans, tax agent of the
Short Line. He has been visiting the
St. Anthony country, where he found
his company already had six miles of
steel laid nn the Yellowstone Park
extension.
The grading Is well advanced and it
Is possible the road will reach Marys
vllle this winter. Mr. Evans says,
though that Is uncertain. It Is his
understanding that the road Is to be
crowded through to tho Yellowstone
terminal next year. Tho line will be
some 60 miles in length. Holse Statesman.
Foul Play Suscctcl.
There are rumors thnt foul play
was responsible for the death of the
unknown man found on the Payette
river near Marsh on tho 8th Inst. The
body was hanging on a willow tree
by a rope mado from the man's under
shirt. Jules Chapman, who came
down from Pearl yesterday says there
are Indications that the man was mur
dered. No papers were left on the
body nnd nothing was left to Identify
the man or the crime. A coroner's
Jury at Plowman's rendered a verdict,
however, of suicide. Holse Capital

Those Swift Time
This age In which we are living is
one of swift progress. The methods
nnd customs of yesterday have faded
into traditions, today and tomorrow
they will have passed Into romance,
says the News-Sclmlter.
For Instance:
A telegraph line Is soon to be open
ed from the Mediterranean to Tlmbuc
too. It Is going to be possible to wire
messages from any metropolis In the
world to the very heart of the great
Sahara desert. A line has for soma
time been opened to the Luat oases,
which were once one of the favorite
stopping plnres of those roving pirates
whose outrages upon caravans were
features of history from time imme
morial. The taut wire is compressing
the world Into small space.
Another Instance:
The rush of gold miners to Death
valley In Nevada, Is being accommo
dated by a thoroughly equipped line
of automobiles. The stage coaches
and mule tennis of the earlier day
have gone to the museum. The 200
miles from the nearest railway to the
mines at Bullfrog and Goldfleld are
covered In specially built gasoline cars
ut the rate of 20 miles an hour. Level
headed enterprise Is keeping pace
even with the wild rush for gold In
the heart of the wilderness.

Wishiiigton, Nov. 21. The senate
committee on Interstate commerce
met here today In compliance with a
call Issued by Senator Elklns, the
chairman of the committee, to consid
er the question of railroad rates legis
lation, which will come up In the
eomiig session of congress.
Kver since the hearing on the sub
ject closed, the committee has had two
experts and a number of clerks em
ployed, compiling information for the
i,"' ot the committee and the senate.
1 D'-y have collected a large mass of
data and will have It In shape avail
able for the committee's benefit.
The committee will take up the entire
subject as If no bill had been consid
ered, heretofore, but It is expected the
chalrn.an will be prepared to present
a measure of his own as a basis for
discussion. Senator Foraker also has
a bill which will receive consideration.
It is eypected that the committee will
continue Its work until the opening of
congress on December 4, and It is by
no mean probable that it will have
finished Its work by that time.
The committee Is divided In two
factions. .-Jen ..tors Cullom, Dolllver
nnd Clupp are .--trongly advocating the
passage of a measure incorporating
the view;;, of I'resldent Roosevelt on
the subject of railroad rates legisla
non, while the opposition Includes
Senators A!!rl;-h. Foraker, Kean, Mil
lard and Oialnnan Elklns. There Is
practically no hope that the two fac
tions will be able to agree on any
n -hsu re and It Is almost certain that
at least t o reports will be submitted,
a majority and a minority report, with
poMbly individual reports by one or
two members, who hold particular
vlevs on the subject and cannot agree
with their other colleagues.
What the senate Is going to do Is
a mutter of speculation among the
mcmlcrs. It Is understood that some
of the eastern an J southern railroads
hnve in some way signified their In
tention to support President Roose
velt's policy an I the opposition Is con
siderably wori:,,l up over the rumor
that other important lines are about
to give up i he .right and line up with
the supporers of the president's pol
icy. Chairman Elklns has been counting
senntorltl noses Junt ns anxiously as
the president and fv friends have
been doing. The southern tour of the
president, It Is claimed, won over two
votes, those of the Loulsinnn senators.
It Is also reckoned that, ms the senate
stands today, l-iire Is a majority for
some kind of conservative bill such as
Elklns, Aldrlch, Fo-akor and Millard
can agree upon. The fight Is exceed
ingly bitter, although entirely under
the surface. It may soon develop In
to an open struggle between Mg trunk
lines, arrayed In opposition to each
other. It Is charged that the si aboard
