This Is a step the people of tho coast have worked for for years. Oregon people havo not been ahlo to boo ahy Justification for going to middle West ern coal mines for fuel and hauling It by train half war across the coun try, when enormous coal mines In Alaska, easily accesslblo from tide water, can be opened and coal brought by ship-load at a remarkably cheap rate for use here. President Taft favors the leasing ot coal and phosphate lauds In Alaska na well as In the United Statos, so that theso sources of wealth mny contri bute their part to thcprospcrlly of the nation. The prosldent also favors a commission form of government, at least half of which should bo elective, for Alaska. In his desire to open Alaska and dovelopo It. tho president goes so far as to urge a government railway from Seward to tho Matunska coal fields and Into tho Tnnana and Yukon val leys. That these steps aro favored by tho president, only because of their benefit to tho peoplo of the west, Is his own statement. Ho said. "I think Uio United States owes It to Alaska and to the people who have gone there, to take an exceptional step and build n railroad that shall open tho treasures of Alaska to the Pacific and to the people who live along that ocean on our Western Coast."

Is a big man, but he be lieves be- met a bigger one on his re cent trip through the east, on board the Governor's special train. IJko all good cltlsens who go to Washington, he visited tho White House, nnd sat down to dine with President Taft. Press dispatches say that Mr. Hanley's quaint philosophy, so generally enjoyed hero In Oregon, delighted the president, and the two Dills had a very pleasant visit "President Taft Is a mighty fine fellow," said Mr, Hanley afterward. "He was especially good at making the boys feel at home that evening when he entertained our party at the White House. Both be and Mrs. Taft and the samo amount In carload lots, has passed through the ware house. In addition to local business, it Is exnectcd that with the improvement of roads and the establishment of better auto-truck ' transportation, an enormous tonnage will bo distributed from this .railroad point, much of which will be handled through the warehouse. RECORD HIS PLATFORM FAMILY MAKES NEWSi Portland Paper Says Hanley Was Hero to Welcome Arrivals. W. Lnlr Thompson Wants State to Aid In Agricultural Development In reply to a letter from The Bulletin requesting a statement re garding what ho stands for at the coming primaries, W. Lair Thomp son, of Lakevlew, candidate for nomination for state senator, states that his platform chiefly consists of his legislative record. Mr. Thompson served two terms as chief clerk of the house of repre sentatives, and one term as member of that body. His letter, in part, It as follows: "Had I a platform It would con sist principally of a statement of a determination to work In harmony with other legislators from Central Oregon In a united effort to secure Legislation for our section of the State. I have some very definite Ideas regarding the duty of the State to install and maintain demon' stratlon farms both In the dry farm ing districts and under private and public Irrigation projects in pro tection of the settler and home seeker who is now coming to Oregon." CROSSROAD SIGNS Supervisors in County Must Bee That Law U Complied Willi. The county clerk Is notifying all road supervisors In the county to soo that the state law relating to signboards at crossroads Is enforc ed. The statute reads: "Kvery supervisor shall erect and keep up at the forks of every highway and every crossing of public roads with in his road district a guide or finger board, containing an inscription, in legible letters, directly the way and specifying the distance to the next town or public place situated on each road, respectively; provided, that the road supervisors shall not be paid after submitting their re port to tho county court until they have shown to tho satisfaction of he court that the provisions of this section have been compiled with." (Portland Oregonlan) Central Oregon soon would be completely populated with citizens of a desirable class were other resi dents of Missouri and Middle West ern States to follow the example of B. E. Klmbrell, who, with his wlfo and eight children, has Just arrived at Bend. The Klmbrell family for merly lived at Harrlsonvllle, Mo. One of the first persons to see them after their arrival at Bend was "Bill" Hanloy, who Immediately took an interest in them and as sured them that they would get properly located on the light k)nd of land.

Nation Owes Debt of Qratltuds. Money Indebtedness Is not the only obligation we Incurred and assumed In the great Civil War, There was a still greater debt, an everlasting obli gation that could never be paid In full. But In years that have followed, the Republican party has Inaugurated and developed pension laws under which over three and a half billion dollars have been paid to disabled veterans, or to the survivors of tbos who gave their Jives for their country and their flag.
