Railroad Prospects.
WHEX the Southern Pacific company completes the
standard-gauging of the Nevada, California & Ore
gon and connects it up by finishing the Oregon, Califor
nia & Eastern between Lakeview or some jioint in con
tiguous territory and Klamath Falls, the traffic of a vast
territory in south-central Oregon and in states beyond
will flow into western Oregon through Eugene, via the
Eugenc-Klamath cut-off.
Comnletion of that project will place the perishable
products of the upper Willamette valley nearer to the
eastern markets by more than 400 miles a full day's
vim fhnn thev are at rirescnt. Klamath and Lake
counties, which have long held trade relations almost
exclusively with San Francisco, will be brought for the
first time into intimate touch with western Oregon.
Eugene, more than any other western Oregon city, will
be in position to establish close. trade relations with the.
newlv hrougnt-in territory.
The Southern' Pacific comnanv is showing a disposi
lion actively to develop its territory and to extend it
these days. It is the only large railroad system in
America or the world which is expanding heavily at
present. In addition to its Natron-Klamatli line, now
well advanced toward completion, it has, bIbo nearing
completion, a new cross state line in Arizona, irom i.uc
Kon fo Yiinm and a lino under construction in old Mexico
between Topic and Guadalajara, which will give a direct
route to Mexico City. In practically, all its territory
the Southern Pacific company at present is pursuing an
active and aggressivo policy and is prospering. This
condition is reflected in its securities, which for some
time past have shown more strength in the market than
those of any other railroad company.
In the movements which it has just announced for
, developing its south-central Oregon territory and bring
ing western Oregon into direct connection with its route
to the east, tho Southern' Pacific company has obtained
n certain advantage over its rivals. of the Hill and the
ilarrimnn railroad groups. "Whether that advancement
will be permanent is something the. future alono enn tqll.
t. will depend entirely . upon what the Hill and the
llarriman lines shall do to meet tho situation.
When it Rains.
IT hasn't been raining rain nlono in Lane county this
nasi week. It .has also rained increased yield of growing
things and prolongation of the green season and lessened
liability of forest fires in tho coming summer and fuller
and moro promising trout strenms nnd a cleaner face
for nature thnn is usual for this tinio of year.
Tho weather man says that tho rainfall for May will
set up n new record.. That is nothing to feel gloomy over.
Perhaps to that scientist back east who predicted re
cently that we arc to havo no summer, it may even bring
n glow of evanescent satisfaction.' And after that there
will be plenty of dry and warm weather.
The rains of the' past few days havo been general over
Oregon. In the whentfiehls east of tho mountains thoy
have started tho recently re-seeded acreage of w.heat
to growing in earnest. They havo made dry-farmed
hay henvier than it otherwise would have been. Thoy
havo done wonders for growing truck gardens. They
linvo prolonged the blooming period of early wild
flowers.
Yes, we havo rains in Oregon. AYe are very glad
indeed that wo do. The rains nro responsible for many
of the things that make life .here worth while. It is rare
indeed that they damage, anything, except the feelings of
some party or other of picnickers for the day. Let us
paraphraso tho familiar song: "11 isn't raining rain to
us; it's raining things worth while."

(Portland Journal)
Governor Pierce wires President
Cooiidge that "sentiment in this state
is strongly in favor of au annual re- J
view of our military strength Armis

Where does tbe governor get bis
Information about such aentiincnt in
Lbia state?
Armistice day Is a peace day, not
a iiiy tor war preparations. It Is the
day commemorating the dawn of
peace sfter the bloodiest war in his
tory, not the dny tbat bostiiies com
menced. It la a day to rejoice for tbe
peace that came on the 11th day of
November. 11)18. not to net out our
cannon, rattle our sabres, and inspect;
our fighting forces iu anticipation nf
more conflict. Jt la strictly a peace
day, and peace days aro not war
days.
President Coolidge has already an
nounced tbat be is against military
gestures on Armistice day. He con
ceives the occasion as one to I'm
thankful for peace, not to anticipate
more war. In that conception tbe
president is correct and he will no
doubt he so adjudged by the people of
Oregon.
An Outdoor Tonic.
(Pendleton East-Oregonian)
If there are any residents of
Umatilla county who feel that their
ardor for Oregon la being undermin
ed, a trip over the Old Oregon trail
and the f,a Grande-Enterprise high
way Is recommended as a tonic. Tbnt
person who csn look out over the
wheat fields of Umatilla county from
the heights of Emigrant hill, or see
the beauties of Wallowa lake and tbe
surrounding country, and still reni'iln
untouched by natures offerings in
Oregon must he losing his sense of
appreciation of the beautiful. The
month of May lends the color and the
atmosphere that enhances the attroc.
tlveness of those scenes.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS

sinco then. It's his idea that worry,
not work, killed his predecessors who
succumbed to the cares of office.
One thing he mny die from is being
hit by an automobile. Anybody may.
He initaed it by a rather narrow mar
gin a few days ago. That is; he missed
being hit, not necessarily being kill

The cop had the east and went traf

president's defense but they knew
there was no hope of stopping -that

Well, they gnt there, somebody's

best flivver stories I have heard
concerns young Henry ltogers, son of
II. H. ltogers, the Standard Oil mil

use of one of the waraily cars because
he drove too fust along the Long la
