Railroad Development Tho Orerron state rmblio service commission peti tionod tho interstate commerce commission to order, under authority of the Each-Cummins act, that trans- continental railroad systems operating in uregon mina a lino of railroad southward from Bend, the terminus of the joint Ilarriman-Hill line, to a connection at Odoll junction with the Natron cutoff of the Souhtern Pacific company, and then southeasterly to Lakeview, and that it order a cross-state line built irom urane, ine cna oi tho Union Pacific line, to Odell junction. A branch line from Crano to Burns also wns recommended. Hear ings on the petition were held before Examiners Kephart and Wagner, or the interstate commerce commission. Examiner Kephart has now recommended to the interstate commereo commission that construction in substantial, although not complete, accord with the peti tion of the Oregon body be ordered. The recommenda tion includes a north and south line from. Bend to Lake- view and an east and west line from Harnman to a junction with tho Natron cutoff. Students of interstate commerce commission procedure consider it likely that tho body will adopt the recommendations of the exam iner. Execution of the pjans called for in Mr, Kephart 's recommendation would give to central Oregon tho rail roads that it has lone desired and needed. It would promote tremendously tho development of that vast and sparsely seitiea Territory, xi wouia give 10 utanc oi mo upper Willamette valley -and southern Oregon a direct outlet eastward. It would bring. from central Oregon and territory to the east and south in this and other b taxes a volume ot tramc which would te great and would grow greater. This traffic would flow through tho Eugono gateway. When the harbor development at Coos bay is completed, this traffic would help greatly to make that port a world port. . But in tho nature of things and in present conditions of railroad control realization of all this is far off. Mr. Kephart also makes a recommendation that the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon shall bo detached from tho South ern Pacific system and reassigned to control of the roads which aro to do tho building in central Oregon in case bis recommendation is adopted and enforcod. Eailroad attorneys contend that thero is no warrant in law for such a proceeding. It would amount, they contend, to confiscation of property. Any such, attempted action by the government, they declare, will be fought through to the highest court. While power is given to tho interstate commerce commission to order new railroad construction in terri tory not being served and which plainly is in need of" railroad service, no such stop has evor yet been taken under tho law. Attorneys for tho railroads indicate quite clearly that there will not bo compliance with an order issued on Mr. Kephart 's recommendation except after resort to the courtB and upon docroo of the highest court. It is quito clear, then, from all this that execution of tho central Oregon railroad plans called for by Mr. Kepli art's report would bo, of very groat advantage to Eugene. It is equnlly clear, wo think, that such a reali zation is renioto. Maybe railroad companies can bo com pelled to build lines against their will and judgment and expend for, them vast Bums (in this enso $15,000,000) upon them. Maybo railroad lines enn bo takou away from one railroad company and given to another, as is horo proposed. But until those things aro dono and dem onstrated most of us will bo skeptical. Meanwhile tho natural tendency of tho Kephart reoommondation is likely to bo that of holding railroad development in the Eugono territory to nil until such tiino as the central Oregon case is fought through tho courts and. decided by the supremo court. For tho Southern Pacifio company will hardly make further investments in this torritory until it finds out finally whother its lines in Oregon are to bo taken from it and given to nnothor company.

Captain Blood land ed at Maracaybo and had found the town empty. Too soon he learned of the trap. Espinosa had pnt into the narrow neck of the bay with his ships snd hsd bottled the bucancers in the bay. A sloop, captured by Captnin Blood, was loaded with combustibles and powder was sailed directly at the Spaniard until the grapnels held the two like a vice. Then it was set aflame. The admiral's flagship burst into blaze, and fine seamanship and hard fighting with his three chips made Captain Blood master of Mara caybo bay. But, when the Spaniards turned tail for shore and he gave chase, the fort which guarded the bay and which seemed deserted, poured down a raking fire upon hiui and drove him in mortification and despair to take refuge in the town. The Hpaniarde secured themselves in the fort. s With the devil's luck and clear beaded thinking Captain Blood feint ed with preparations for a land at tack after ne had managed to acquire a large ransom in gold from the gov eronr of Maracaybo, and, opening, a broadside, put the fort in flames.

It placed him in the rare position of heing nhlo to pick and chooso the crews for his nugmentcd fleet, and he chose fastidiously. AVhcn next he sniled awny it wns with n fleet of five fine ships In which went something over a thousnnd men. Thus you be hold hira not merely famous, but really formidable. Three captured Spnntsh vessels ho had renamed with a certain scholarly humor the Clotho, Lncheals and Atropos. a grimly jocu lar manner of conveying to the world that he made thorn the arbiters of the fate of any Spnninrdfl he should henceforth encounter upoi. the scss. And meanwhile the Spanish Ad mlrnl Don Miguel de Espinosa went raging up and down the Caribbean seeking his enemy, and in the mean time, ns an hors-d'oeuvre to his vin dictive appetite he fell upon any ship of Knglnnd or of France that loomed above his horhron. This illustrious sea enptnin and great gentleman of Cnsttle had lost his head. And so, reeklesa of the fact that Captain Wood was now in vastly superior strength, the Spaniard sought him up and down the trackless sea. Put for a whole year he sought him vainly. The circumstances in which eventu ally they met nre very curious. On the Kith of September of the year lOHJi memorable year in the annals of England three ships were afloat upon the Caribbean which in their coming coniunctiona were to work out the fortunes of severol per sons. The first of these was Captnin Wood's flagship, the Arabella, which had been separated from the buccan eer fleet In a hurricane off the lesser Antilles. She wss beating up for the Windward rnsange homing for Tor tnga, the natural rendenvous of the dispersed vessels. The second ship was the grent Spanish galleon, the Milagrosa. which, accompanied by the smaller frig -ate Hidalgo, lurked off the Caymltes, to the north of the long peninsula that thrusts out from the southwest corner of 1Iipanioln. Aboard the MHagrnsa sailed the vin dictive Don Micucl. The third una" last of these shins wns an English man-of-war. the Uoyal Mary, which wns at anchor in the French port of St. Nicholas on the northwest coast of llispanbdn. She wns on her way from Plymouth to Jamaica, and carried on hoard a verr distinguished rasaenger In the person of trd Julian Wade, wbo came charged bv his kinsman, my lord Sunderland, with a mission of some consequence and dellcacr. directly arising out of that vexations eorreonndencei h tw'n Eoclnml and Spain, To satisfy King J:ime's anTtety to conciliate Spoin. and In response to the 8pap'h amhnssd-rs constant I stead and grierua expostulations, my I,rd Sunder Uml, tha secretary of atate. hsd anrsVnfed a atrovt rn to the deputy-governorship of Jamaica. Thii atrong man waa that Colonel Biahop who for soma years bad beii tiie moat influential planter in Barbadoea. from his first corning to Jamaica, Colonel Bishop had made himself felt by the buccaneers. But do what he might, the one buccaneer whom lie made hia "particular quarry that Peter Blood who once had been hia slave eluded him oyer. He confessed aa much in a letter to the secretary of state. My Lord Sunderland be thought him of the plan adopted with M orpin, who had been enlisted into the king's service under Charles II. It occurred to him that a similar course might be similarly effective with Captain Blood. Acting upon this concision, Sun derland aeut out hia k inn man, Lord Julian Wade, with some commissions made out in blank. The crafty Sun derland, master of all labyrinth of intrigue, advised hia kinsman that In the event of hia finding Captain Blood intractable, or Judging for other rea son that it waa not desirable to en list him in the king's service, he should turn hi attention to the offi cers serving under him and by se ducing them away from him leave him so weakened that he must fall an easy victim to Colonel Bishop's fleet. , The .Royal Mary made a good pas sage to St. Nicholas, her last port of call before Jamaica. It was under- stopd that aa a preliminary Lord Julian should report himself to the deputy governor at Port Royal, whence at need he might have him self conveyed to Tortuga. Now it happened that the deputy governor's niece had come to St. Nicholas some months earlier on a visit to some relatives, and so that ahe might es cape the insufferable heat of Jamaica in that season. The time for her re turn being now at hand, a passage was sought and in view of her uncle's rank and position promptly accorded. Lord Julian hailed her advent with satisfaction, Hia lordship was one of your gallants to whom existence that is not graced by womankind is more or less of a stagnation. And Miss Arabella Biahop was a youug woman and a lady; and in the latitude into which Lord Julian had strayed this was a phenomenon sufficiently rare to command attention. On his side, with his title and position, his personal grace and the charm of a practiced courtier, he bore about him the atmosphere of the great world in which normally he had bis being, a world that was little more than a name to her, who hod spent most of her life in the Antilles. It is not, therefore, wonderful that they should have been attracted to each other before the Royal Mary warped out of St. Nicholas. Each could tell the other much upon . which the other desired information. Considering how bis mind was obeased with the busi ness of his mission, it is not wonder fill that he should have come to tnik to her of Captain Blood. Indeed, there was a circumstance that direct ly led to it. "I wonder now," he said, as they were sauntering on the poop, "if you ever saw this fellow Blood, who was at one. time on your uncle's planta tions as a slave?' "I saw him often. I knew him very well." "Ye don't say!" and came to lean beside her. "And what manner of man did you find Jiim?" In those days I esteemed him for an unfortunate gentleman." You were acquainted with his story?" "He told it me. That is why I esteemed hlm-for the calm fortitude with which he boro adversity. Since then, considering what he has done. I havo almost come to doubt If what he told mo of himself was true." 'If you menn of the wrongs he suffered at the hands of the royal commission that tried the Monmouth rebels, there's HtUe doubt that it would be true enough. He was never out with Monmouth: that is certain. Ho was convicted on a point of law which he may well have been ignor ant when he committed what was construed into treason, But, faith, he's had revenue, after a fashion." "That," Bhe sair in a amall voice, is the unforgivable thing. Ithas destroyed him deservedly." Destroyed him? 1 His lordship laughed a little. "Be none so sure of that. He has grown rich, I bear. He has translated, so it is said, his Spanish spoils into French gold, which is being treasured up for him in Fronce. His future father-in-law, M. d'Ogeron, has seen to that." future father-in-law?" said ahe, and stared nt htm round-eyed, with parted Hps. Then added: "M. dOgeronr Ihe governor of Tor tuga?" "The same. You didn't know?" She shook her head without reply- 'ng. After a moment she spoke, har voice steady and perfectly controlled.

He wss the girl's lover ana mood s associate on a venture. Mood coveted the girl, snd killed Levasseur to win ber. Pth' It's an unsavory tale, I own. But men live by different codes out in these parts. She had turned to face him. She was pale to the lips, and her hasel eyes were blazing, as she cut into his apologies for Blood. "They must, indeed, if hia other associates allowed him to live after that" "Oh, the thing waa done in fair fight, I am told." ' "A man who sailed with them, a Frenchman named Cahusssc, whom I found in a waterside tavern in St. Nicholas. : He was Levasaeur's lieu tenant, and he waa preaent on the ialand where the thing happened, and when Levasseur wss killed." "And the girl? Did yon ssy the girl wss present, too?". "Tea. She waa a witness of the encounter. Blood carried her off when he had disposed of bis brother buccaneer." "And the dead man's followers al lowed it?" He caught the note of incredulity in her voice, but missed the note of relief with which it wss blent. "Oh, I don't believe the tale. I won't believe it!" "I honor you for that, Miss Bishop. It strained my own belief that men should be so callous until this Ca hausssc afforded me the explanation. Blond purchased their consent, and his right to carry the girl off. He ijoid them in pearls that were worth more than twenty thousand pieces of eight." His lordship laughed again with a touch of contempt. "A hand some pricel" ' Tour Cahussac seems to have been accurate enough. Alas!" Ton are sorry, then?" AS we are sorry to hear of the death of one we have esteemed. Once I held him in regard for an unfortu- nate but worthy gentleman. Nowr" Such a man is best forgottajl.'' And upon that she passed at once to speak of other things. The friendship which it was her great gift to command in all she met grew steadily between those two in the little time remaining, until the event' befell that marred what was promising to be the pleasontest stage of his lordships' voyrgo. The marplot was the msd-dog Spanish admiral, whom they encount ered on the second day out,, when half way across the Gulf of Gonaves. A shot from the. Milagrosa got among some powder stored in the Royal Mary's forecastle anil blew up half the ship almost before the fight hsd started. Before the men of the Royal Mary had recovered from their consternation, their cap tain .killed and a third of their num ber destroyed with him, the ship, yawing and rocking helplessly in a crippled state, the Spaniards boarded her. In Ihe captain's cabin, under the poop, to which Miss Bishop had been conducted for safety. Lord Julian was seeking to comfort and encourage her, with assurances that all would yet be well, at the very moment when linn Miguel was stepping aboard. Fortunately, Miss Bishop did not appear to be In desperate need of the poor comfort he was in case to offer. The cabin door flew open and Don Miguel strode in. Lord Julian apon round to face him and clapped a hand to his sword. The Spaniard was brisk and to the point. "Don't be a fool," he ssid in his own tongue, "or yonll come by a fool's end. Tour ship is sinking. Come, all of you, aboard my ship," Don Miguel invited them, and stode out As for the survivors in thst ghast ly shambles thst hsd been the Royal Mary, they were abandoned by the Spaniards to their own resources. Let them take to the bqats, and If those did not suffice them, let them twim or drown. If Lord Julian and Miss Bishop were retained, it was because Don iliguel perceived their obvious volue. He received them in his cabin. Lord Julian commanded himself with difficulty to supply them. Then haughtily he demanded to know, in his turn, the name of their aegressor.

Unfair Discrimination (Salem Capital Journal) State 'Market Master Spence, whose main occupation is drawing $4,000 a year Balary for the preparation of propaganda letters on Non-Partisan League marketing, indignantly denies that he Is using state owned automo biles in his political campaigning. In this he differs from all other state officials appointed by Governor Pierce, who emulating the executive are circulating the state with person al appeals and not in Fords either. It is an unfair discrimination, for Mr. Spence is as much entitled to a state auto, for campaigning as the other officiuls there arc enough on Land for all and then some unless he thinks it more effective to stay with a horse and buggy, like a back woods rancher. Hut if Mr. Spence is not using state autos, he certainly is using time bought and paid for by the taxpayers for political campaigning, in violation of the corrupt practices act. His orgsnization, along with other state officers of the Progres sive party, frcm which ho was forced to resign when his delinquency was made pnbllc, is proof enough of his pernicious political activities. Commercializing his former posi tion as Master of the State Orange, Mr. Spence is a valuable asset to the governor in his political schemes aU of which shows that the main aspira tion of profesfionnl saviours of the farmer, as well ns of the people, in a sinecure of public office. Once in the public payroll, the country Is saved. JUNCTION- UTYToerH Junction City.
