ALASKAN RAILROAD The building of the Alaska railroad by the government seems now to be settled and as shown by the vote in the senate it is not a political meas ure, a big majority of the senators voting for the measure regardless of politics. The few voting against the bill being both democrats and repub licans. The measure was first recommend ed by President Taft, and has since ben recommended by President Wil son. The opposition comes lorm those who dread even the faint echo of government owenerslnp of rail roads. The Alaska situation is quite different from that here in the states, and what the government does in de veloping Alaska cannot be taken as a precedent in the United States proper. After the government builds this road and establishes equitable rates there the development of that coun try will be assured and no special in terest can contirol its building. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE I This department is yours and if you desire to write something that you think is of interest to the gen- , i il :n erai masses, semi it in. yc win ic of the community at large; numerous other instances might be cited, but that is not necessary, the Commerc ial Club may be an instrument of much good and a majority of the members are honestly striving to make it so, but a few that are in terested in themselves alone have of ten times had too much influence: The Hill line that has been surveyed up through McMinnville, Dallas, Air lie and on south will no doubt be built in time, but might it not be pos sible to get early action in the mat ter if all of the business men of Dal las would sign an agreement to give their freight haul to the Hill road if built at once, such contract to run for one or two years, or again might not Mr. Hill he induced to run a line over here from Salem if this freight, was given him and he was made to know that he would get it f Past experience with the S, P. R. R. shows that it is useless to ask anything from it on the grounds of fairness or right, the only way to get anything from that road is by coercion; if the Hill line had not been built up the valley the S. P. would hardly be equipping their lines with electricity now or in fact making any other im provements, their policy for years seems to have been to take everything out of the country that the traffic could bear and put nothing back in return, but at points where the Hill lines touch a wonderful change has uated in Polk County.

Address The Observer, Da'ias, Ore gon. Several papers are running the "hot wind" electioneering doap for John Manning, one of the Democrat ic candidates for governor, he seems to have adopted a scheme that so far is working fine, if all those who like his plan and writo him as re quested, he will be provided with a splendid list of names to whom be can address further "hot air". Of course he has figured that there is monev ready to finance such a vast undertaking as he proposes and that there will be plenty of applications from good honest farmers who are desirous of buying farms on time, and that the state will not he injured at all by going security for anyone who might wish to try the plan out. All candidates are accused of hav ing .wheels in their heads, and if this is true, Mr. Manning has no doubt his share ,and has them well oiled and in fast running condition.

Editor Observer: I read with considerable interest in your last issue, of January 20th, the article signed "Reader" in re gard to the Dallas Commercial Club, also the answer to the same in your issue of January 23rd. I realize as suggested by the article of the 23rd inst., that it is easier to knock than it is to boost, but I do not believe one is to be classed as, necessarily a knocker because they offer sug gestions, and anywny what would this world be if it was not tor the, knock ers. The knocker is just as necessary as the booster and in fact if there were no knockers, there would be no boosters, hence if I may be allowed the space I should like to make a few suggestions, bearing in mind all of the time that the Dallas Commercial Club has done some good work for which they deserve great praise, for instance the work incident to the lo cating of the Packing plant, their present efforts to establish a cannery and many other good things, but should they on account of what has been accomplished sit still and rest on past achievements? I notice by the Daily papers of January 23rd, that the P. E. & E. R. R. is going to run homeseekers excursions up the valley so that prospective settlers shall have a chanee to see all of the varied industries, different kinds of soil, etc., of the valley towns, making short stops at each place visited, bur nowhere do I see that any of the trains are to visit Dallas, in other words, for years the S. P. R. R. has liscnminatied against Dallas and Dal las business men notwithstanding the fact that the monthly reports of the S. P. R. R. Co., show that more freight originates at Dallas than any other station in the State of Oregon with the exception of Portland, in fact it is almost as much as any two other towns in Oregon, excepting Portland. In view of the foregoing facts, and t'hey are facts, doesn 't it seem as though something was wrong some where 1 About a year ago or such a matter, it. was rumored that on account of lack of room the S. P. R. R. was going to build a new depot at the foot of main street and what was the result f A few selfish inter ests got together and went to Port land and entered a protest against moving the depot, and as you know the Company put an extension on the present building, which is a disgrace to any community, and let it go at that, in other words the Commercial Club has allowed a few self interest ed members too often to run the af fairs of the club in the interest of a little group instead of in the interest mepciul Club by a little negotiating with Hill be able to change the sit uation in Dallas It seems to us that something might be done along this line; it has been done in other places and I would respectfully call the atteniton of the Commercial Club to the matter. Also it might be well" to remind the members of the Commercial Club that at the time a delegation of the Club visited headquarters of the S. P. R. R. in Portland during the year 1913. It was reported upon their re turn from the Metropolis, that the officers of the Company, had prom ised that by January loth, 1914, the Railroad would furnish Dallas with improved train service in every way, so there would be no further kick coming fom the citizens of Dallas. Was the Committee of the Com mercial Club wrongly quoted or has the S. P. failed to keep faith? We are inclined to the latter belief and it seems to us this matter might be taken up by the Club with profit to the community; a matter of this kind when pushed by an organized body will, often bring favorable results where the efforts of single individuals must fail. The Commercial Club is at present, we understand, doing every thing in their power to make a suc cess of the coming County Fair for next year and that is good, very good, perhaps no other one thing does more to call attention of the public nt large to our immense re sources, and in their work tor the Fair the Club is deserving of the help of every citizen that has the wel fare of the County at heart, but there is lots of other things to be done and it does seem to us that one of the greatest of these is the transporta tion problem, and that the Commerc ial Club if they will go after it in earnest can do more than any other body of men.
