FRIDAY APRILS 9W l'WSH FOR CKNTHAI. OKHOON. It is not likely that Central Ore gon will remain long without a rail .road. It might go unrecognized indefinitely if there were only the ' Tact of its resources to cqmmeud it. vto transportation men, for maguifi vccnt resources arc not alone sufti- cicnt to justify the building of rail' roads. Hut those resources .arc .drawing people, and a numerous . population will have railroad trans . portalion. Their presence in the Jxcouutty will produce a traffic that JwiK make it an object for railroads to build there. And where there Is remunerative traffic there will trans portation lines be built. The settlers pouring into Central Orcgqn and the development agcu cicsalrcaaV,at work there make it jccrtain thattthat section will have adequate transportation facilities. It cannot be that it will remain iso lated for any considerable period. While this may be accepted as an assured fact, there is no assurance yet that Central Oregon will have railroad connection with Portland. The natural tendency of its trade is (his way, but there are no commer cial channels established that would prevent diversion of the trade of that section to other centers the mo ment transportation facilities should be better in any other direction. If, for example, the Nevada, Califor nia & Oregon ' Railroad were ex ' tended up lo -Bend or Prinevilltf.thc .bulk of the Crook county trade ' would go to San Francisco. And the chances would be greatly against our regaining it. Now is the time, to bend the trade twig of Central Oregon; now is the time to bind it to us with rails of .steel. The field now lies waiting. There is no enemy to disposes?, there need be no fight for control. A proper efibrt on the part of Port laud will give it railroad connection with all the Deschutes valley, which vOu the cast side of the Cascades cor- responds to the Willamette vallcj on the west side. Local interest has been shown by the appointment of a committee to harmonize di (Ter ences that now stand in the way of railroad progress up the Deschutes. TJiis committee has given its atten tion to the matter, and its chair man, Mr. T. H. Wilcox, is about to go to New York to present certain propositions "to Mr. Harrimau in .person. It is believed that some form of success will result from this mission. . Portland must keep alive and pushing. A mere spasm of activity will not accomplish much; it is the constant pressure that counts, the determination not to rest when there -is work to be done. It would 'aid Mr. Wilcox greatly if he were to have a general expression of bus iness sentiment in favor of the open ing of.thc Deschutes valley to Port land. We are not greatly concerned oveOhe method of that opening, so ' Jong as it does not work needless injustice, but we must have Ceil t traj Oregon opened, and the door ' Should swing this way. Oregon- ian. The above from the Oregouian shows that a kw people at any rate in Portland are not asleep. These few recognize the fact that the peo ple in this Central Oregon country are anxious to dispose of their pro ducts, and equally anxious to tratle for all the necessities of life and a few of the luxuries. They are not a sentimental class, and they will give their 'business to the first peo ple who will offer them inducements in transportation, whether they come from California, Salt Lake, Spokane or Portland. If the business men of Portland want the trade of this great country they will have to work for it, and working for business docs not con sist in sitting dowtt in an office re pcating in loud accents: "wi iiavk A t.KAn-wi'K ClKOU,'" with nn ac cent on the lead pipe. It will be a case of Mahomet coming to the mountain; and if some of the mon eyed people in Portland will realize that without a venture they cannot hope to gain, and expend some of their potential energy and business enterprise, and also scatter some of their moss-bcdcckcd safety deposit in encouraging" and fostering a rail road from Shaniko to the Deschutes valley, it will not be long until they will reap the benefits of good rail road communication with this coun try. We want a railroad, and do not greatly cure whether it reaches us from the north, cast, south, or from the west. The Columbia Southern is logically the first road to be extended into our country. It is the nearest to us now, it has an unusually feasible, easily con structed, well planned route already sun-cyed nnd mapped out. It will place us in the quickest communi cation with the great mart of North west trade Portland. It passes through the barren grain raising portions of Sherman county and southern Wasco, and through the great Agency Plains and Haystack grain belt where millions of feet of our lumber can be .exchanged for wheat, oats, barley, hay, and other products, which cannot be obtained here jty, present for love nor money. It .will not be very. long until'the Deschutes Is turned out on the des ert, and the sage-covered flats will be transformed into alfalfa fields where thousands of cattle, sheep and hogs will be fed and fattened, all of which will go to the packing houses in Portland by way of the Columbia Southern. The chamber of commerce and board of tratle in Portland are inter esting themselves in the matter of the disagreement between the liar riman people and the management of the Columbia Southern, with a view 10 the establishment of railroad communication between the Des chutes valley and Portland over the Columbia Southern. They have dallied long over this business and have not shown energy and enthus iasm to any great extent. The bast thing they have accomplished was the appointment of Mr. T. H. Wil cox as committeeman to confer with Mr. Ilarriman in regard to Colum bia Southern affairs. Mr. Wilcox is a' man who can realize what trade expansion means. His company is probably the largest shipper over the Harrimau lines in the North west, and he can undoubtedly bring Mr. Harrimau to sec titc Portland side of the question better than any other man on the coast. We wish him all the success possible and hope that his mission may bring about the extension of the Colum bia Southern in the very near fu ture. The people of Portland should keep their eyes open and re member that other towns are look ing tins way besides themselves; that "actions speak louder than words," and that nothing was ever gained without a venture. In the body changes that take place as we grow old, Metchnikoff and other physiologists suppose that an important part is taken by the phagocytes, or devouring cells. Some years ago it was made to ap- 11 ' " "" ' pcur that some of these cells are color cntcrn, and that they whiten the hair by seizing the pigment grains and conveying thctu into the skin or out or the organism, On further study the theory has been evolved that old age itself is due to phagocytes that destroy thdjtcrvc cells. The nerve-eating cells have been found in the brains of many old people and old mammals, as well as in persons suffering from nervous disease, but in no case have they been known to reach such de velopment or to have so nearly taken the place of the nerve cells as in the brain of it parroqttct that died at the great age of eighty-one, after some years of feebleness and senility-. .HOMH CAt'SKS 01' DKI.AY. One of the causes of the trouble between the Columbia Southern Ry. Co. and the O. R. & N. Co., and one of the principal reasons why the business men of Portland and outside Oregon towns have not at tempted to assist the Columbia Southern in its struggle for exten sion from Shaniko to the Central Oregon country, is the opposition aroused by the stories and knocks which have been circulated' among those in power by a certain bunch of houry-hcaded, long-bearded an tediluvians residing along the Col umbia river basin. These people have been here in Uastern Oragou since Mount Hood was a hole in the ground. They made the founda tions for their fortunes in the early days by roping the miners nnd trap pers into skin games of various de scriptions, and 'by selling firewater of the vilest character to the unso phisticated red inen. Their for tunes and their rapacity grew apitcc and they finally came to believe that Eastern Oregon and all con tained therein was their lawful prey. Mr..E. K.ytle trespassed upon their territory, seized an opportuu ity which they had overlooked, gave the state an industry of which they had never thought. and began to ac cumulate a neat stack of this world's goods, then they immediately waxed wroth and became sore and envious because he was corraliug some money which, by all that they be lieved was right and just, should have found its way into their cof fers. These men are moderately heavy shippers over the lines of the O. R. & N. Co., jind control to a small extent the wheat crops of Sherman, Wasco, Gilliam and Klickitat counties, and they have used this influence to give straits to their talcs of woe and to bias the opinions of the Ilarriman Unas and the business men of Portland against the Columbia Southern. If the ieo)lc of Portland would investigate the business methods of these men and their heelers if they would send a delegation to the seat of war and contrast the differ ence in feeling towards this set of grafters and the management of the Columbia Southernand decide strictly on the merits of the case, we of Central Oregon would feel that the time when we could ride from Bend to Portland on a railroad train would not be so far off in the dim, misty future. There is certainly enough mail carried between Hcud and Priue ville to justify the postal authorities in putting on a daily mail. We could then hear the outside news a trifle more frequently, and could depend upon receiving our express with a great deal more regularity .than heretofore. It will mean more business for the stage company and a great deal more comfort and con venience for U& Objects too Small or two distant to be seen like fixed stars are made perceptible by their light. nil '"r ' ' ' , '' MuO NO:'PV0 L E , Ask Your Grocer For . .THE BEST in Tens, Coffees, Spices, ami Baking Powders.

Taking advantage of this fact, Sic deutoffnnd Zsigmoudy have ma uificd strongly illuminated particles, and in this way have made visible the diffraction discs of specks of matter approaching moleculos in minuteness. Their dUervnttous were made upon particles of gold embedded in ruby glum. From the known quantity of the gold anil the number of discs, it was calculated that each particle, with an appar ent diameter of otic millimeter, had n real diameter of 1 -50.000th of a millimeter, and it was further shown that the limit of magnification would be 150,000 diameters. The grwittttt powers of this method would show a particle having tun time the diameter of a molecule. We need a great many of the comforts and conveniences of mod ern civilization which are oujoyud by the citizens of more favored lo calities, and they all depend upon a railroad. When the railroad final ly reaches us, the other things will not leave the new field unoccupied long. And iutftoad of being com el!ed to send to Portland, or The Dalles, or Priucvllle, every time wc want anything, our morchnuto will have everything imaginable, which we can purchase at Portland prics without having' to pay thrue or four railroads anil stage companies express rates. Among many important things we neod.a-po.stal money order office can be found at the top of the list. It is very inconvenient to have to wrap up a lot of loose change and have it registered whenever we want to send for anything. The loard of trade, or whoever has an interest in the development of our little city, ought to attend to this matter at once. Pygmies arc now found only in the interior of Africa. A Oernuin anthropologist shows that they have once lived in Switzerland and Al sace, and in Silesia down to the tenth century, and. that some of the Alsace race were less than four feet in height- o o Q r m FOR THK OREGONIAN siy BULLETIN.
