civil service rules. Complaint also

The new survey, of tho Ojwego
branch of the Southern Paul tic Co
road up the Tualatin Valley has pro
gressed ao far that Kngioeer MeLeod
has given out for publication "tste
menls that load to the belief that the
branch will be built. He i-tates in
private conversations tliut in ull lili
travels he has not seoua more bcautl
ful valley save one than the Tualatin.
Going to make tip that beauty Is Itr
trade possibilities, McIod allows
the following paragraphs to be priu
ted in the Oregonian.
"The plau Is to start at Willabury
Multnomah Co. and build a branch
line through Milwaukee to the Int
opposite Oswego, then along therivei
toward Oregon City. From the point
opposite Ojwego the . Willamette
river will be bridged when a railway
will be budt up tho Tualatin river to
Hillaboro. ?
This was the frank statement made
yesterday to an Oregonian reporter
by Engineer McLeod at Milwaukee,
wno has made all the surveys of these
routes for the Southern Pacific Co.
(oothing but an observation survey
baa yet been uiado up the Tualatin.
The surveyors are to run a line or

is still at Milwaukee, where ho has
been for some time completing a few
details of his work. Engineer Mc
Leod la thoroughly informed about
the country. He said that, of course,
he does not know when these ex
tensive changes will be made, but be
did not hesitate to say that the com
pany is la dead earnest about mak
ing them. '
lhe object of building the new
railway through Milwaukee to Ore

said that an engine can. hardly get

Now that the first Indignant out
cry of British Free-Tradere agaln-t
the proposed colonial Tariff prefer
ences has somewhat moulded, we
note That Mr, ' Chamberlain's policy
is receiving strong backing from col
onial statesmen and the colonial
press, while British public men are
gradually but surely working over to
his side. Mr. Halfour, his colleague
In the ministry, has spoken favorably
jf thB policy, and the disruption of
tho ministry, which was generally
predicted as ' the result of Mr.
Chamberlain's ' utterances, has not
yef taken place. ' In fact, at this dis
tance, it looks as if the tide was turn
ing in his favor, and that Free-Trade
was likely to be discredited in the
land of Its birth,' who statesmen
have been proclaiming' Its" beauties
for tho past sixty years, and urging
its adoption by other nations.-
