This paper has enlisted With the government in the cause of America for the period of the war FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1918. about $11,000,000 on the Deschutes line, and that Harriman spent a sum only sJlghtly less. Harriman re fused to build the line there until Hill accepted John F. Stevens' rec ommendation and began preliminary work. The race that followed is familiar history in Oregon. Millions were wasted, as though it were a game by drunken sailors. A compromise was not reached un til the principals to the light were sobered by the reckless expenditure, and, when within 40 miles of Bend, agreed to use a joint line. Under a further agreement each road oper ates a passenger train each per day. It is known on the highest author ity that Wall street was disgusted with this extravagant battle of mil lions. A prominent banker there told a western man that the waste of money in the Deschutes canyon had a great influence in weakening the confidence of eastern Investors in western railroad enterprises, if not in all railroad enterprises. That and similar waste of money is largely responsible for the failure of the railroads to .get sufficient money for their uses, and that in turn is responsible for the breakdown of transportation and the taking over of the lines by the government, along with the great loan made by the government to put the lines in condition to handle war traffic. It Is, in part, to pay for such In excusable and wastful performances that the people are now called upon bo pay large increases in freight and passenger rates. f, instead of double tracking De schutes canyon, one line had been built and the rest of the millions had been spent in building to Lakeview and Klamath Kails, Southeastern Oregon would have been Portland territory, and that virgin empire would now bo in 'the midst of a swiftly advancing and highly import ant development. The Deschutes canyon folly was a crime against Oregon. It Is a crime whose evil effects have done great harm to Portland and have deprived an active and splendidly intelligent people In Cen tral and Southeastern Oregon of a development that would have been of great value to all Oregon. It Is a situation that all the state SOLDIERS FOR POLITICIANS '(joQtiDuu .rom Page One.) TO MY PATRONS. Mrs. MuMer lias returned to Band ami will open her parlor on Monday, Ihe 24th.

A BATTLE OF MILLIONS, A.N'l) (OroKon Journal.) A crime has been committed In Oregon against the people In a great belt of territory between the summit of the Cascade mountains and the eastern border of this state. This belt extends from the California bor der northward 100 to 1 50 miles, in cluding the Important towns of Klamath Kalis, Lakeview and other places capable of great production. These people are In Oregon, are loyal to Oregon, and want to do busi ness with Oregon, They are at the farther end of a vast plateau, which has a gradual slope northward to Bend, and northward and westward down the Deschutes canyon and the Columbia gorge to Portland. A loaded car of livestock, or wheat or other products, stalled in motion at! should help to remedy LakOVlew would almost roll into Portland of Its own momentum, The altitude, for example, at Lakeview, Is 4,92r, feet, and at Klamath Kails slightly less. There Is scarcely a rise In the ground from Lakeview on th northward journey, almost as straight as the pigeon Hies, through the rich Chewaucan anil Summer Lake val leys, which, with the Silver Lake and Goose Lake valleys, make a con tlnuous sweep of valley land 150 miles long almost as long, but not nearly so wide as the great Willam ette valley. North of Sliver Lake ami on the way to Bend, there is a grent area of deep woods, made up of yellow pine, extending the greater part or the distance to Bend. All these people, 15,000 or more 111 number, are anxious to do business In Oregon, to sell their products in Oregon, to buy their supplies in Ore gon. IBut they cannot do it. Their rail road connections are all with Cali fornia. Klamath Palls Is served by the Southern Pacific and Lakeview by the California, Nevada & Oregon, a narrow gauge, from the south. The Lakeview rood extends 240 miles southward and eastward to Ilono, touching the Western Paolflc and the Central Paolflc, giving the Goose Lake, Chewaucan and Summer Lake valleys nccess to San Francisco in a roundabout and unsatisfactory way. A carload of livestock, to come to Portland from Lakeview. would have lo gx hundreds or miles south, and then westward, berore It could even stnrt 111 tho direction of Oregon and Portland. A carload of potatoes started from Klamath Kalis would have to go CO miles or more south ward on an extended exclusion Into California before It could even be pointed In Ihe direction of Portland. Worse still, the rates for anything destined for Portland or coming from Portland are all the way from ." to 20 tier cent, higher, though the distance Is about the same. More over, there Is a through and direct oiling or not ii passenger and freight traffic to San Pranclseo, while Portland-bound freight. If there were any, would he subject to transfers and do I iys as Is tho case with all passen ger traffic. And here is Ihe crime of all this: Enough money was speul In building I wo lines of railroad track, parallel ing caeb other a few yards apart i.iiougn i lie Headlines canyon to have built one line through De schutes canyon and with extensions to both Lakeview and Klamath Kails. Tho money wasted in th i toollsb building of two lines In the Deschutes canyon would have tied the business tind the people In a big empire on iho huge plateau in Southeastern bills come duo just the same, and the fact that one pays for what one gets Is a maxim written irrevocably on the tablets of time. If the state wishes to be a godfather to stud horses, and shower Its' parental bless ings in other directions, it must re member that parenthood always costs money and that babies need shirts and shoes. The only way that money can be saved is to merely eliminate and blot out. And history show3 that this can't be done. So far no one has pointed out that any of the state activities are really useless, and all of them are backed by an im mense following, that sits on its hind legs and howls every time some pa triotic taxpayer suggests that tho immense followlng's own particular state hobby be cut out. Stories for Newspapers. If the new plan of government goes through it will mako lots of stories for the newspaper boys, but the cost will be there just the same. And the cost will bo sufficient the next two years. This became evi dent when bids for the last six months' supplies for the present bi ennium were opened a few days since. Mounting costs indicated that many of the institutions will require deficiency appropriations before the year is up. Numerous supplies have jumped 25 or 30 per cent, on this latest batch of bids and when It is considered they jumped 26 or 30 per cent, six months ago, and 25 or 30 per cent, six months before that, and have been keeping up that ratio for sovorul six months' periods,. It will be seen that expenses of state gov ernment have been compounding with a vengeance and the taxpayers will have to - handle the freight charges when the time comes. There will be considerable cussing over tax receipts the next few years, but, as a matter oi fact, the state officials cannot be blamed for it. It is a certain fact they have been holding down expenses as economically as possible, and in some instances have perhaps been too parsimonious. But uny householder, who has to pay for groceries, shoes, fuel and the other accessories of a not too luxurious life, will appreciate the fact that ex penses are growing and the state cannot get off any cheaper than a private individual. The high cost of living Is hitting things with a stiff wallop and appar ently there is no way to avoid it. Might Help Politicians. Down In Portland the other day veterinarians of Oregon and Wash ington succeeded, so they said, in successfully removing the bray from a mule. This is in Itself quite a feat, but It might be put to a prac tical use during campaigns, and next fall no doubt would be a valuable asset If some of the spellbinders that could be named were touched up under the new plan. Governor on Vacation, Governor Wlthycombe has been away from the capltol on a vacation for a few weeks, visiting his son Rob ert at Union and enjoying himself with his little grandchild. A long drag with his son's illness back In Washington, when for many weeks it was believed the son would never survive, along with the worries of a campaign and an attack of the grip, all have tended to make the govern- I have a few thousand dollars to loan at low rate of interest on good mortgage security, pre ferably producing farms.

Superin tendent Steinor of the state hospital is finding such great difficulty in keeping employes at the institution, with competition keen for labor In the shipyards and war industries that the institution is operating on a shorthanded basis and probably will continue to do so more and more. But two alternatives are left either to lock up all of the patients tight, or take a chance on some of them wandering away. A large share of insane people are made worse by being locked up, and the best cure for them is sunshine, work and air, Consequently, Superintendent Steiner is going to take a chance and he ex pects plenty of elopements this C. O. I. Order Hang!!. Final disposition of the distribu tion scheme for tho Central Oregon Irrigation company's project under the order of the public service com mission, Issued some time ago, is hanging In abeyance. The commis sion, In its order, provided that the distribution plan shall be subject to the approval of the desert land board, meaning the state engineer. When the company sent in its plan to the. commission, the commission sent It to the state engineer for his ap proval. It Is now there awaiting final decision. The company has passed the buck to the commission, tho commission has passed it to the engineer, and now it may be shoved back to the commission. Time will tell. I Si7;.
