THE HUGHES WHISKERS
It gives my wearied heart a wrench to boo such whlskors on
the bench. The highest court In nil the land should the respect of
all command, and nothing should disturb tho nwo with which we
view the home of law. Hut how can people, calling there, regard
that wide expanse or hair and think of anything but soap and razor
strops and barber's dope? The lawyer, when ho pleads n caso, will
see tho green on Hughes's faco, and Btrnightway all his thoughts
will fly to where tho fields of Bpbjaeh lie. A man can't think of
law, alas, when fuclng such a strotch of grasB. The othor Judges,
sitting near, with faces shaven, calm, scvuro, will find thoso whls
kors in the way ubout five hundred times a day. If It should
chance that Justice II should turn to speak with. Justice I), concern
ing things most profound, he'll find that six or seven pound of woep
Ing willows Intervene, and hide the Judge as with n screen. Will
lnw bo purtriod or cleared when filtered through that widespread
board? Will court decisions scum more fair delivered through n lot
of hulr? I cannot think It, and 1 hope that Justice Hughos will get
somo soap, a brush, some water and a saw, and whack thoso tasaelB
from his Juw.

SIDE LIGHTS ON RAILROADS
3d the grounds at its own expense, installed cluster electric
lights in it, built the finest passenger depot in the state, and a
large freight house.
HOW IS THIS FOR A FAMILY ROW
Speaking of the business methods of the Oregon Power Com
pany, the Morning Register says :
In this mad rush for the almighty dollar, there serins ngt to have been
any particularly fixed ralo, rather a policy of suceilng as much out of each
consumer as It was thought ho would stand the more energy consumed
the higher the into. For Instance, ono power user with a 100-hoiBepowcr
motor consumed 4400 kilowatts, and was assessed $224, while mint her con
sumer, with a 40-horsepower motor, consumed 4 200 kilowatts and was only
charged $10fi. On account of such discrimination tho power users have or
ganized, and will offer considerable encouragement to somo porson or com
pany that will set! them servlco at a living rate.
ii,, i ii, II,,. nrmnii I'mvnr Ciiiiiiuiiiv sav. they will give a tell per cent
reduction nflcr tho first of tho year - that Is, lifter the heavy business of the
holidays arc over, and tho deninnd drops back to (he minimum, wo will got
a reduction. A ten per cent reduction. For, In the language of the niuim
ger, "the electric business has been good better than we niitlclimtod."
Whv. he even offered a discount of $3 on the Uegister's bill of $172 fur the
past two months' servlco. Hut knowing Unit tho company was hard up. nnd
needed the money, this most generous offer was refused, and a check drawn
fr,r Mm full illlliill II t .
Wouldn't that jar you I Hore is a paper which has been doing
the dirty work of the corporations for years past compelled to
pay like other people for its lights nnd power base ingratitude
on tho part of the aforesaid corporation, to say tho least. The
Guard has during the samo timo boon bearing tho brunt of the
fight for the pcoplo until they now own and control tho water ays
tern, and in a short timo will have a municipal power and lighting
plant in operation, and it is only compelled to pay for its lights
and power at a rnte probably twico that charged tho morning pa
per. Our bill from the Oregon Power Company was nearly ninety
dollars for last month alone, and we never burn lights all night,
as the Register does". But the main point is the ingrntitudo of
the corporation toward those who are faithful in their service,
and tt feel that the morning paper has a right to "kick," al
though it seems poor ttste toooxhibit its domestic troubles in
public. Sonic of the more unfeeling and less sympathetic of its
. Interesting sidelights on the railroad situation in Oregon and
elsewhere are afforded by the annual reports of the Southern
Pacific and the Oregon Short Line, filed with the state railroad
commission, says the Medford Mail-Tribune.
The Southern Pacific's business in Oregon totaled $8,859,-
945, of which $4,520,526 was expended, leaving a net profit of
$4,139,419, or 47 per cent. The entire system paid $22,976,
039 in dividends, besides laying aside a surplus of $8,897,614.
The Oregon Short Line declared dividends of 50 per cent,
amounting to $20,822,846, operating expenses $9,541,573, or
4 5.8 per cent. j
These two railroads are operating under supervision of the j
3tate railroad commission, so regulation cannot be very injuri- j
ous. i
The ordinary business man is well satisfied if there is a
profit of 15 or 20 per cent or less on the volume of business, yet
we see these railroads clearing nearly 50 per cent, resorting to
the courts to prevent the just and reasonable reduction ordered
for Southern Oregon by the railroad commission.
Poor's Manual gives the net profit above all charges of the
Hill system for 1907 as $45,730,163, and the gross earnings as
$206,152,485, or about 22 per cent, so that it is evident that
the reasonable reduction ordered by the Oregon railroad com
mission for this section, does not mean "confiscation" of the
Southern Pacific, as their attorneys plead. They will still clear
up more than the average railroad.
It is because the public is beginning to understand somehting
of the railroad business, something of the fabulous profit made
through promotion and excessive tariffs, and to resent the unjus
tifiable robbery of being made to pay inexcusable charges in
order that interest may be paid upon "watered" securities, andj
"melons" cut for the benefit of the controlling interests, that we
behold the spectacle of railroad magnates threatening the coun
try with panics and cessation of railroad building, unless they
are permitted to run the country to suit themselves.

Tho development of Lane county, alon? material lines, is
proceeding as rapidly and satisfactorily as could be expected un
der the existing conditions. For instance, the fruitgrowing in
dustry i3 rapidly expanding, as shown by the report of the sec
retary of tho local association. He reports that 54 carloads were
scut East, bringing in a revenue of about $25,000. The prices
received for tho fruit were from $1.25 to $2.25 a box, which (
was as much as was received for apples in any fruit section,
with tho exception of Hood River and Rogue River, which com
munities have spent thousands of dollars advertising and making
a reputation. While tho price of apples did not come up to the
expectations of some of the local growers, the results have been
highly satisfactory as a whole. The apple acreage is constantly
increasing in tho vicinity of Eugene, many landowners and far
mers this year setting out thousands of trees each.
