Will the entire summer of 1908 pans away without accomplishment of anything In the way of completing the many Important railroad projects now under way In Oregon? It be gins to look that way, and the very people who will be most directly bene flted are the ones who are responst bio for the delays, guys the Portland Telegram. The matter has really reached a serious stage, and practically no pre llmlnary Or construction work Is be Ing done on four distinct big projects. one steam and the other three elec trlcal. The aggregate expendJture Involved runs Into the millions, and the money is on band to be put to use. Yet it Is Idle, has been idle for months, and indications are that It will lie Idle for months to come. Th four projects referred to are: , The Oregon Electric company's ex tension from Portland to Hlllsboro. The Mount Hood Railway & Pow er company line into Portland. The United Railways line from Portland to Forest Grove and Hlllsboro. The Pacific Railway & Navigation Company's line from Portland to Til lamook. The one great obetacle In the way of pushing the plans of these corpor ations to Immediate completion is the obstructionist tactics of property- owners along the proponed rights of way. More deplorable still is the fact that In each Instance only a mere handful of property owners has been able to delay progress for months. In the case of the Oregon Electric line, ust two property owners have been successful In forcing the company to bandon all work, have compelled the company to remove the steel and oth er material already on the ground and tho throwing of hundreds of men out of employment. Each of these men Is asking more than the company believes his prop erty Is worth, and Insists that the company erect a permanent depot on hie property. This the company has steadfastly refused to do In all cases on the ground that It feels better able to Judge where the prospective traf fic conditions will require stations and depots, both freight and passen. ger. This matter, the company main tains, Is governed entirely by the ra pidity of development of the various sections tapped by the road. In the case of the Mount Hood Iln five property-owners controlling less than three-quarters of a mile of right- of-way territory, have obseructed the company's operations, and It may even be found necessary for the com pany to build clear around Greshnm a prospective station on the line, for It Is In that neighborhood that' most of the difficulty has been encounter ed. A few other landowners, some on the north side and the rest on the south side of Mount Tabor, have baffled all attempts of the company to secure a satisfactory route at fig ureg that it considers reasonable. With the United Railways the condition Is somewhat similar. This company has run lines and made sur veys for their road to Forest Grove and Hlllsboro and expected to be able to begin construction work long be Tore 'this, but because a few ranchers out near Llnnt,on and in the vicinity of Cornelius Gap demanded prohibi tive prices for their property, the company has not been able to do any thing, and so much delay has been caused that options already obtalneo are beginning to lapse and cannot be renewed .save at exorbitant . figures, Officials of this company now have a corps of engineers at work, and they are running four separate lines in the hope they may secure a right of way along some one of these where the grade will be convenient and not too many engineering obstacles 'met with. President Hen ham declared yesterday that there was some doubt In Tils mind whether his company would ever be able to bull dthls line. He added that If some of the obstruc tionists did not come to terms, the whole project would be abandoned Tillamook Cut Out. No work of any Importance has been done on the uncompleted road to Tillamook, the Pacific Railway & Navigation company. President Ly tie, when the financial flurry came last fall, abandoned work from this end, and during the winter, his right-of-way men did their level best to se cure strips of property needed near Tillamook, but the property-owners and business Interests over there did not keep their promises, and the com pany was obliged to spend $20,000 for small strips of land which had been promised them as a bonus If the road would be built. Tlllamookers are still holding up work now, and Pres. Ident Lytic, when asked when opera tions would be resumed, exclaimed: "I'll be d d Jf I know, and I'll be d d If I care." , Summed up briefly, here are hun dreds of miles of steam and electric railroad work already under way, backed by -almost unlimited capital, to tap rich, undeveloped regions which have been crying for transportation facilities for years, on which a stroke of work cannot be done, thanks to a few greedy landowners, whose prop erty will be tremendously enhanced In value, the moment these railroads are In operation. The effect is even more far-reach ing and serious than appears on tht face of It and as explained above, for when eastern capitalists who come out here from time to time lookine for Our Special Inducement For you to dress well on the Fourth of July and during your Summer Vacation.

That land monopoly Is not only ag itating eastern Oregon counties, but Willamette valley as well, Is shown by the following letter from "A Booster" safe and profitable Industrial invest-J to the Salem Statesman concerning BAB T MED F Oil Ii MONTHS By Terrible Itching Eczema Face and Head a Solid Sore Spread to His Hand and Legs Would Scratch Until He Bled Tiny Suf ferer Immediately Relieved and ENTIRELY CURED IN 2 MONTHS BY CUTICURA " When my son Walter was three weeks old, eczema ppeared on his face. We did not know what it waa no went to a doctor who treated him for three months. Then he was so bad that his face and head were nothing but one sore and his ears looked as if they were going to fall off, so we tried another doctor.

First I tied his hands to me criD to keep him from scratching, but when it got so bad I tied him in a shawl or he would scratch himself all Dioody. when he was seven months old we tried a set of the Cuticura Remedies.

There Is also another deplorable as pect to the situation. At no time In years has structure material been so cheap as It Is now, and so easy to get The structural steel market Is slug gish, with prices away down, and there Is a sufficient supply available to fill all orders almost Immediately. At the same time the Inactive bus! ness world generally has found the railroads with an enormous amount of Idle equipment on their hands, so that the material could be laid down here on very short notice. What obtains In the structure m& terlal market Is largely true In the uuur niuraei. i ne widespread re trenchment In the Industrial world threw hundreds of thousands of men out of employment last winter, and hordes of them are walking the streets looking for work today. The over- supply of labor has. of course, re duced the price of labor commodity anywnere from 20 to 40 per cent. Yet, In the fact of all these con ditions, so favorable to railroad build ing In this territory, capital Is dor mant and labor Is restless and idle. while the great and undeveloped re sources of Oregon are needlessly ne glected. CLASS OF 82 AT O. A. C. Blgjrest Graduating Class In History or Oregon College. The graduation exercises of the Or egon Agricultural college opened at 10 o'clock Thursday, attended by an Immense crowd despite the drizzling rain, says a CorvaJlis Item. Hundreds of alumni and other visitors from all over Oregon were present. The Arm ory, where the exercises were held, had been converted Into a veritable rustic paradise by the use of ever green boughs, potted palms and ferns, profusion of bunting was used In the decorations. The program this morning follows: invocation, Rev. D. H. Leech: "Spring Song," chorus; "Beauteous Waltz, chorus; salutatory, Mary Rose Scog- gln; valedictory, Herbert Edward Cooke; two vocal numbers by Virginia Spencer Hutchinson; address, J. H. AcKerman, state superintendent of schools: conferring degrees. President Kerr; "Triumphal," chorus. The commencement events through out have been successful. The drill of the cadet regiment yesterday was witnessed by hundreds. The alumni banquet was held last night at Wal lace hall. i A recital at the Armory was given last evening by the pupils of the school of music. The lust lnter-soclety de bate for the Gatch cup, held last night, resulted In victory" for the Ami. cltlans over the Zetagatheans. The enrollment for the year closing was 1156, against 835 a year ago. The growth has been not only in numbers but In collegiate ad vatrcement. "The standard of the college has been lift ed! Muuh building has been done and more Is in progress. Next year greater things are expected at the In stitution. There are 82 graduates this year. the largest class In the history of the school. the Immense holdings of Salem citl zens. The letter Is as follows: The greatest drawback to the de velopment of this country Is the large tracts of land In the hands of a few people. For Instance. I know of my personal knowledge of one man, M. Croisan, has in his own name and under his control, over 1900 acres of land within from two to seven miles of the city, some of the finest garden grain and fruit land on earth Take, tor Instance,.- the large tract near the B. I. Ferguson cherry or chard In Pofk county. If this splen did tract of land was cut up into 10 acre tracts it would make homes for 75 families. This is as good as the Ferguson land, and some of It Is bet trr for garden purposes Mr. Croisan also has a large body of land southwest of the city, of some 800 acres. A lot of this Is the best prune land In existence, being one and a half miles west of Liberty, the best prune district In the world. I say nothing against Mr. Croisan as an Individual, but I condemn him for not dividing up this land and al lowing actual nomeseekers to come in and build up the country. Such men are a hindrance to the develop ment of the community in which they live -and there should be a law to compel them to disgorge hls land, all but 160 acres. Iow this man is holding land enough to setUe 150 families and glvt them a comfortable living, whereas there is now not to exceed a half doz en families on all of this 1900 acres. Just see what this would mean for Salem If cut up Into small tracts. BOOSTER Salem, June 17, 1908. Slwt Partner by Mistake. R. Drummltt and B. F.

It Is expected that the department of Justice in the near future will bring suits against the paper trust. says the Washington correspondent of the New York Times, on the ground that it is operating in re. stralnt of trade. Agents of the de partment have been at work In New York for some time, and evidence Is now in such shape that actions may be commenced. The greatest secrecy is being main tained at the department 0f Justice, and none of the officials will either acknowledge or deny that such liti gation is contemplated. It was de nied emphatically, however, that the department would wait or consider Itself bound to postpone action In the prosecution1 of the paper trust until the congressional committee finished Its labors of Investigation.
