ACTIVE OPERATIONS
HAVE RESUMED
Active operations have again been
resumed on the line of the Willamette
Valley Traction Company and the
work of building the road will be
rushed to completion. A large crew
darted work on the Salem end of the
line thiB morning, and another gang
will liegin grading and building at

tons of 70-pound steel rails with the

in order for 16,'MMI rail bonds, will be

EIGHTY-FIVE
GREEKS ON
A STRIKE
The gang of 85 Greeks who are em
ployed by the Southern Pacific Co. in
laying the new 80-pound steel rails,
the work having reached a point
ai uut two miles below the city. wrnt
out on a strike this morning and
m -t of them have been in town a
greater part of the day.
From what could be learned from a
number of the strikers, very few of
whom understand a word of English,
they bad a grievance of some kind
again t their foieman and all agreed
to quit work unless a new foreman
was put over them.
Some of the Greeks became drunk
during the day and created an occa­
sional disturbance on the streets. One
of them with a happy jag on was ar­
rested by Acting Chief of Police Fur­
rington aliout 2:30 o'clock this after­
noon for indecent exposure on the
streets.
The (¡reeks are an ugly lot when in­
toxicated and have no regard for the
iaws of the land. It will be remem­
bered that several months ego a gang
if them near Roseburg became engag
ed in a riot and they tired upon a
number of Americans, killing a wo­
man.
Ii is said that a nr» foreman and a
nww timekeeper have been appointed
to take charge of the gang tbut struck
this morning and that they will all re­
turn to work tomorrow.

PHYSICIAN AND sti
CAKE OUT FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR
I believe the public service corpora­
tions should lie subject to govern­
mental regulations and control.
lhe
power of regulation should lai vested
in the Interstate Commerce Commis­
sion and should lie exercised w ith due
regard to the respective rights of the
jieople and the corporation.
Trusts or combinations of capital
organized for the purpose ol cont roil
ing the utilities and necessities of the
country, to the exclusion cf legiti­
mate competition, are contrary to
public policy, iu derogation to the
rigiits of the pejaile, and should come
un ler the bun of the law.
I believe in preserving the dignity
of our American citizenship and the
' reedom of the laboring classes of this
country, hence 1 am opposed to the
admission of the Chinese coolie labor
of China and the undesirable classes
of continental Europe.
The growing commerce of Oregon
demands the deepening of the bar oi
ttie Columbia river, t.ie construction
of The Dulks-Celilo canal, the opening
of the upper Columbia, the improve­
ment of Cors Bay. Tillamook and Ya-
quma harbors, the dredging of the
Willamette and the government own
ership of the locks at Oregon City ami
Federal appropriations should Is-
made, securing these improvements.
A tariff should be maintained for
tlie protection of American industries
and American labor. Where, however,
the necessity for protection is remov-
e 1 by the growth ami development of
a particular industry,the tariff should
be modified to meet the changed con­
ditions.
The reclamation of the arid lands
is one of the pressing needs of the
Northwest, and a condition necessary
to its development, and the efficiency
of the reclamation service should be
one of the first cares of the Federal
government.
The Federal constitution should lie
amended to provide for the election
of United States senators by direct
vote of the people, and I am in favor
of the establishment of the parcels
