Indications are now that peace is near at hand between Russia and Japan. Of late great pressure has been brought to bear upon the Czar who is about to yield. All the nations of Europe are urgiDg a peace policy. The Russians have sent to the front an army of 800,000 men. Out of this great army the effec tive fighting force) is only 300,000 men. Such are the terrors of war. Peace would be welcomed by the whole world. There can be no better indica tion of the prosperity of a country than the building of railroads. The Railway age predicts the con struction of more than 9300 miles of railroad in the United States this year. Contracts for 7500 miles bave alieady been let. The great northwest is making rapid stiides in the way of com mercial importance. No better indication of this can be than the fact that the railroads are reach ing out after the rich traffic that is constantly developing. The di rectors of the Cnicsigo, Milwaukee & St. Paul road are planning to m .ke an extension of their linpti to the Pacific coast. An under taking of lira kind certainly re quires confidence in the future of this coast. It would involve the building of 1500 miles of track and au expenditure of 100,000,000. The growth of the northwest ctn not be stooped. The dawn of a new era of prosperity is near.

The cheers of the multitudes which greeted Kioeeveit when he took the oath of office March 1 had scarcely died away when the activity of the campaign for the succession began in earnest Although three years mast elapse before the delegation to the nation! convention can be elected the several candidates are already at work upon the founda tions that their chances stand on. Vice-President Fairbanks seems to lead the procession in the present condition of the race, however, such men as Joeeph B. Foraker, Leslie M. Shaw, Henry Cabot Lodgp, William II. Taft, John C. Spooner, Elihu Root, Stephen B. Elkins, Robert M. Lafollette, Al bert J. Beveridge, Joseph G. Can. con and Petr J. Groscup are mentioned among the possibilities. Wiiile there is much good timber amoog the candidates mentioned the aspirants for the highest gift in the hands of the people are much more concerned in the fatare of the presidential chair than the people in general are at present. All are well satisfied now in the way ttat the reins of government are ban-ikd. A neat prospectus has been l ued hy I e Pendle'on Railroad & C al com- pany. rne capital s-ock li u:e luih pany is $3,000,130. The prospectus 9ta'ea that it i the ohject of the book let to sell one million shares of stock, the money to be used in making sur veys, purchasing terminal ground?, rights r f way and to fn it! er devel p the property. The booklet contains some inter esting data in relation to Oiegon nnd ill do considerable good in spreading farts that ought to be before strangers. Following are a few excerpts taken from thn pamphlet : 'Oregon, the largest of the Pacific Noithwes-t States, contah s an aiea of Oti.OoO i-quare mites, or 61,4")!) L'OO acres. It is 3,030 Fqiiire miles, or l,!i3'.t,200 acres larger than the gieat states of II inois and Indiana combined. "No state in the Union holds out such inducements to the investor as O.egon. Prosperitv and plenty a-e seen on every hand ard the influx rf new settlers and investors has been so gra t the past few years that the in dustrial conditions luve been entirely changed. In 1004 th-? industrial tecord for O.egon showed a total of over 50, 000 00, an ave age of over 8100 for every ma i, woman and dul l w thin the s ate. The t- x piye'S have no interest- bearing debt, and consequently every dollar of public money is used in main taining the pubPc, institutions, or con structing permanent improvements. The 8?Hf.e of Oregon has nearly 5,000 manufacturing establishments and the outpu' of these establishments in 1004 a-nounted to $05 ,000,000. "Heppner, the county seat of Morrow county, Orrgon, hss a population tf about 1,400, and is r-ached by the Heppner branch of the Oregon Railway & Navigation. Company. Everything found in a modern, live, western town of the above population, is found at Heppner. It has splendid churches, bushels of wheat, while the town handles hb nit 3,500,000 pounds of wool, and is tha trading point for Urge sec tions of Mo-ro', G'ant, Crook, Wheeler, Gilliam and Malheur counties. "The lands of the Pendleton Railroad & Coal Company tne located n town ship' 4 and 5 south, riuige 2S east of Will met e ir eridian, in Mnrow coun ty, 0 egon, and embrace a toa' area of 5,000 acres, 800 of which a'e timber land and the remaining 4.200 acres ate coal land. Tamarack, ytPow tir and spruce are found on the timber land, a careful estimate ehowing that these ar ds will en' from two and one halt to four million feet per quarter section. The coal lands are also heavily timbe -el, sufficient to supply the mines for years to come. There is an ample sup ply uf good water on the property for -very purpose. "It is the intention of the company to immediately bui'd and eq np a standrird guge road from Pendleton to the co 1 fields via Heppser. "The road will be fu ly equipped to do a general passenger and freight busi Hess, and will tap a large section of rich country. It will draw a large business from Grant. Umatilla and Morrow counties. It will tap a tract of some thing like 25.0C3 acres of timber, mostly yellow fir, which will be carried over the road when cut into lumb-r. The local business of farmers, settlers and stockmen will be Urge, aa this road will be t e oidy source of carriage. The mountain spur, on which the Heppner coal fields are located, ex tei ds westerly from Mount Ruth on the ma;n ridge rf the Blue Mountains to near the town 'f Fossil and has a length of nearly 115 miles, the altitude varying from 7,CJ feet down. This spur forms the divide between the John Day River to the south and the various creeks flowing north toward the Colum bia Kiv r. T.ie geological history of the Blue Mountains and ta western spur consist? in the elevation of old mines, is of large extent, from twelve to fourteen miles in leng'h and several miles in width. The elevation of the coal mine and camp is 4,250 feet above sea-level, aneroid measure. The Dollars nnd CentM of nit Open Ilivcr. From such in'ormation as we can gather it should not bo very difficult to el boats in operation . both on the Columbia and Snake rivers. Those interested should help themselves. Self reliance and loya'ty cannot hot win. If the producers rf the inland emp re will get together and stand by their boats as the peoi 1 of The Dalles did hy theirs, they will not only g-t low rates, hut will make money. No stretch of river in this country offers more fruitful returns, both in volume of traffic and rates, than does the upper Columbia route. The moat cu-sory examination of the rate elvet will show the possibil ities in this direction. We will take for illustration three points on the Colum bia river The Dalles, 88 miles from Portland, where they enjoy river compe tition, Arlington, 54 miles beyond, or 142 miles from Portland, and Umatilla, 99 miles from The Dalles, or 187 miles from Portland, the two latter points at present without river competition. The commodities taken are those easiest bandied and most generally used. Let the figures speak for themselves. The rate eiven is that by the car load, the less than car lrad rate being generally twice the car load rate or more. The rates given are bv the ton : Salt 8ngftr Nails Wire The Dalles 11.50 $ 2.00 2.00 $2.00 Arlington 5.30 8 00 8.00 8.00 Umatilla 7.50 10.20 9.00 9.00 If these figures do not furnish incen tive enough for the farmers and mer chants of Eastern Oregon and Washing ton to get together and do something, we confess we do not knew what will. On down freight the differences are not bo great. To Portland on some of the staples frcm the saTe points the rates are as follows: Live stock Wool Grain Car Load . I ocean beds Intn drv land.

It can do no more. The charges over the portage road will be low. As to this no one need worry. The key is in the hatcU of the people to unlock tire dr or. If they w II not do so, thn t'.e blame ' an rest only on themselves. Away up in tin V,t Iowa country, along the eastern b undaiy of which flows the Sni k- riv r, the tt amer, Mou dairi tie - U j ist made a success ful trial ti ip an. 1 will pive that rection of country an outlet by rivor to L wis ton, r r on down the liver to Portland. If on the sift running S iak? river they can and do build and operate boats, surely on the lower Snake and Colum bia the e ought to be those that will do likewise. We are urging action now for the renson that the portage railway will soon be finished, and if the producers want the relief it will furninli they must O'ganiza and b"ild ba's or guarantee freight and bu-iruss to thor-e who will operate them. Eastern Oregon ought to bave its own line, controlled by her own peop'e and operat d in her in terests. Portland Journal. New Style Engine. When its nsuel progressive ppirit the O. R. A N has ordered six of the new style locomotive1, known as the four cycle class, these to be the first of the class to be seen on the Pacifio coast, while yery few of them are ir use in the East. These engines have a double Bet of eccentrics and connections, creating four points of pressure to the revolution of the wheels instead of two as with other locomotives. This makes a moie steady pressu'e, is more economical In the use of fuel and water, and causes less jar to the mechanism of the engines in bard work. The engines are being built by the locomotive trust at Philadelphia and will be ready for service in a short time. A. B.
