German financial interests are being tempted to invest in China, and a preliminary arrangement has been made for a loan of $18,000,000 to the Chinese government for railway con struction. Doubtless China is a fine field for the expenditure of such a large amount of money, and unquestionably the investors have arranged for heavy interest. But the Sacramento Union wants to know why these people should go to China for their invest ments, and at the same time declares that they are pursuing a short-sighted policy in doing so. That territory offers small returns in freight business for many years to come, when here in the United States the construction for the main lines would double the value of the subsidiary properties in the short period of ten years. Main-line railways now cover the surface of the country in all directions, and Eastern Oregon and a few other western fields alone offer any promise of profitable returns in that di rection; but smaller lines to connect with the trunk roads and navigable water bringing the neighboring communities into close touch with the through route, are assured of good busi ness from the day they run their first train. This has been the exporionce everywhere. It has even been found by the great railways that to operate an auxiliary passenger service on part of a main line, making it something in the nature of a feeder for itself, proves profit able, as In tho running of gasoline motor cars between thriving towns. Eloctrio railways into the country have demonstrated the value of the feeder system everywhere. Would it not bo better to spend $15,000,000, then, in sub sldiary lines in a civilized country, than to risk the same money in an untried foreign land, where the prejudice against railways has several timos led to tearing up many miles of track? This matter of building a railroad from Eugene to Siuslaw tide-water is too important to the city's future to allow any number of failures to discourage our efforts. No other enter, prlso should be pursued with the persistent energy that this one calls for. Possibly after nineay nine failures, the hundredth effort will succeed and Eugene and all Lane county will profit by it in tho end. And here's another thing that does not indicate an early ad Journmcnt of congress. In accepting two suits of hot weather clothes, made of Goorgia cotton linen, "Sunny Jim" said he was mighty glad to get them, as he expected to bo in Washington the greator part of the summer. Isn't the female orator who says. "Adam Whs the first man to shield himself behind a woman's skirt'' a little shy on her bib lical history? As we romembcr reading it in our Sunday School days, Mrs. Adam didn't have any skirt until after that shielding stunt had boon pulled off. Artor the hoboes succeed in getting Uncle Snm to construct a national highway from Washington to San Francisco, they'll arrange to have free breweries, distilleries and lunch joints not more than a milo apart thereon. A London committee, which has been looking into the opcr ations of our beef trust, says the trade methods of the trust arc superior to those prevailing in England. If, gobbling methods will also be found world-beaters. This more daylight league, which wants to start things two hours earher in the morning, will have to put a kibosh on the midnight league now in the field before it can win. The Odd Fellow, w.ll come to Eugene next year. They would indeed be queer fellow, to turn down an offer of the bo,, pitality of tho queen city of the Willamette valley. Not being accustomed to handling glnss. though some of its member, are said to live in house, of ft. the senate did some smashing in that schedule of the tin iff bill.

Association. without avail What are laws and ordinances for, anvwav, if they are not enforced? Is intemperance the only crime which can he prosecuted?. Our au thorities keep busy on this one line, although there Is no more danger to the innocent ones in this than in dangers mentioned here. How about I he milk and meat In spection? I read of some ordinance having been adopted, but Is It en forced? The writer was rebuked last year for suggesting hygienic measures. I don't want to force myself ujkih the public, but I understand the duties of a cllizen such, that he comes out openly If he sees lawlessness and abuses. As said before, let us apply the "Eugene way to these matters. We have given a great example In pub lic improvements: let us lead also in the enforcement of such laws, which in their evasion may hurt the innocent more than the guilty one. Hy the way, the speed ordinance for automobiles needs enforcement. Do not let ua wait until the unex pected happens, but "take time by the forelock." Fellow citizens, see that the au thorities act and lend them your sup port by dutiful vigilance. This is for the sake of the poor and the rich, the weak and the strong. Let us act one for all. all for one. E. SCHWAKZSCHILD. ORDER YOUR WINTER'S WOOD NOW Seattle and North Yakima, on the trip, they were impressed with the number of well-paved streets in com parison with the thoroughfares of Portland. In these three cities much good paving has been laid within the last three years, and the excursion ists were shown over these pave ments In a manner which brought home to them the shortcomings of their own city. It is admitted that Portland has a good many improved streets, but the neglect shown on streets adjoining these well-paved thoroughfares needs remedying, aa the travel nearly ail favors the hard pavements; and this subjects the improved streets to un due wear, a? well as to mud trailed in from the old-style maca dam surfaces. Improvement by dis tricts w'ili therefore be urged here after, so that whole sections of the city may be rendered fit for travel at all 'times of the year. LOOK AX!)
