M Mr. H;u riman had made anoth er uroHiiho at a ;ety opportune time. Tlu purposed amendment to the constitution giving author ity to the people of Oregon to build vailroails had passed the house and this promise was thought the proper thing to stop the measure in the senate. Whe ther it hn had such an effect we have not learned at this tinie. It beems strange to those who are familiar with the general to pography of the country that Mr. Harriman should choose the Deschutes route. To spend $4, 773,000 for 130 miles of road through a section of the charact. or of the Deschutes canyon k reach the Bend country wheK the only possible tonnage can be found is something of a mystery when the Corvallis & Eastern is , so near and much less expensive. The real secret may be in the fact that the Oregon Trunk has surveyed up the Deschutes and this is supposed to be a Hill line. A locul business man who has just returned from Portland was told that the contractors who had built the bridges across the Columbia and Willamette giving HJI entrance to Portland from t'io north bank had moved their outfit up to'the mouth of the PiM.hu tea where they had pur tl a.ed a small ranch and stored u'l iheir tools. Its looks very much as though this outlit might begin early in the spring to build another bridge across the Colum bia r.t that place give-Mr. Hill ani-ilier inlet to the considered h'li.man territory. This, it v ui! seem is the real secret of tn i pensive road promised by J I lluiriman up the Deschutes. I . Portland Journal takes this i w of the promise. It sayB: The wisdom of the railroad a' . ndment is already confirmed. Tu mjHure proposes to give Oil '- -ii people authority te them si ie build railroads as a means of n.rthrowing the Harriman riii of bottling up Oregon. No ooner does the measure ap- pi.rirthe legislature with the er.v strongest of influence back of it than forthwith- comes the announcement that Mr. Harri ma.i proposes to build a line up tho Deschutes into Central Ore ton. Ntver before was such cclontv manifested. For years, our policy of supplication and mcckn. s brought nothing but indifk ience and arrogance. Our P nt n 5 were spurned. Our ap pc al v . re treated with a cold, unheeding disdain. Our requests wire as the requests of bad cl i 1 . p to a lofty and omnipo tent "rtat father. We got noth ing but resistance and for that re 'iu.ee paid Mr. Harriman a net profit of more than $6,000,000 in Fold last year. Wc changed our tactics. We alUr-d our attitude. We went to tn. legislature with a plan for helping- ourselves. We introduc ed f . railroad amendment, and harL: iftly on the wings of tcl'Tapii comes the tuuiounce r.vnc that the great father is with a'l speed to luild t- railroad into cr u.,al Oregon. Thatwhich vt j.If.ided for and appealed in vin i, at the moment we 3how p-ord Aruencan fight, forthwith VGrich licet. 1 thf i e not a moral in the in cident? Do we not Bee now that Mr. Hamman, though he spurns u i v. hen we are submissive, dm.fl ,1-, when we show fight? What el ,e then should wo do but pi the railroad amendment, . .-J 1 1 ) ourselves in constant po i i io give battle?

The following; is clipped from the Portland Journal of Wednes day: Governor Chamberlain sent a hot special message to the leg islature this aftenv'-n cnPing upon them to put .rough' the amendment to ti, constitution providing for 8tte aided rail roads. The limcnHmciit hnH nl. rend) puaaori the house, but has en assume such responsibility as ' been hung up in the senate. Tho is necessary and seo to that pub lic officers live up to their oaths and do their duty. If thoy fail in this invoke tho recall and kick them out ', -. The Times-Herald wishes to be charitable But it knows that our public officers have not done their duty in the -past. This is not al together the fault of tlfb officers as the people fail to give them the moral support they should. However, this is only half an ex cuse for any public officer who would show a determination to strictly enforce the law would be i dress you backed by decent citizens to the fear that message is generally looked upon as striking a hard blow at Harri man and emphasizes the slate's determination to build her own railroads. Coming as it did with announement alleged to have been made through Harrimin of a road up the Deschutes, it caused surprise. The President and Members of the Senate: The Importance to the people of the state of house joint resolution No 16, introduced by the speaker of tho house of representatives leads me to ad- a brief message for in the multitude of 1 V last ditch!' If there aro ordin-! matters demanding your atten ... . .. .. ... ... . .. auces that should not be on the tionai the close of die session its books the better way to find it; importance maybe overlooked, out is to enforce it so people may see the injustice and it may bo repealed or modified. The Oregonian picks out Col. C. E. S. Wood from a multitude who are advocating state aid to railroad building to give him an unwarranted dig and extols Mr. Cotton's stand ujon the subject. Col Wood is advocating what he believes is right and is sincere. Is Mr. Cotton doing likewise, or is he earning his salary as a Har riman attorney? We could ex pect nothing else from Mr. Cot ton considering the position he holds. If the Oregonian would use its energies, talents and means to assist in bring rehef to a neglected district and show the sincere friendship that Col. Wood is showing, it might be of much more benefit to the people of Oregon. That was a good suggestion of the Burns delegation to invite Portland people to see us during fair week, as the weather is gen erally ideal for traveling at that time, besides they will have an opportunity to see good samples of our products without travel ing all over the county to find them. This resolution passed the house on Monday night, 1ms been received by tho senate, and am just advised imported upon un favorably by tho committee to whom it was referred. It has for its purpose the submission to the people of an amendment of article 11 of the constitution so as to authorize the creation of railroad districts within the state empowered to construct railroads or other highways, authorizes the purchase or construction of rail roads, the pledging of credit of state or county, the levy of tax es, the condemnation of rights of way and the exercise of other powers usually incident to rail way construction and tho opera tion of railways by the state. The people of Oregon and par ticularly those along the coast line and in central and south eastern Oregon have been en tirely neglected and ignored in so far as their needs for trans portation facilities are concerned. The railroad company winch con trols the destinies of the state has premised from time to time, through its officials that it would extend its lines into the neglect ed territory and give some relief to the producers and consumers, but as often as these promises have been made they have been violated, and although the sec tions to which I call your atten tion are being rapjdly settled up i aim are oemg aeveiooea. trans ...... ..iiiin i iniiuuluH iu an xui themselves it may bo propho sied with safety that tho ono system now opornting within tho Blnto will redeem promises which have been nmdo from timo to timo and which have thus far been vlolnled. Certainly it can do no harm to submit tho proposed amendment to tho constitution as tho resolu tion undor consideration author ises, to tho pcoplo for their con sideration and lot tho pcoplo nay whether or not tho Btnto is ready to construct' and opcrnto a rail road for their benefit. Business men from different sections of statu have been bo fore commit tees in tho legislature in behalf of tlie proposed resolution and it seems to mo that your attention nerds only to bo called to tho im portance of tho resolution to lmvo this distinguished boby give it earnest and careful consideration.

T. ,1. Monroe, a prominent stockman of Mitchell, in an interview in the Orogon Journal says: "Wo east of tho mountains, are in diro need pf something of the kind. We feel that we have been slow to develop; and the lack of state and federal institu tions only goes to prove that we have been cared ' for by factory made politicians. Wo are sadly in need of a largo experiment station to assist us in the science of dry farming to say nothing of what wo need in way of asylums for the blind, the deaf mute, t',rt insane. A reform school would bo'in order, and what about a penitentiary? "Wo stockmen are forced to spend hundreds of dollars in or der to got tho least recognition in the way of legislation in out line. And our representatives in the legislature must fight like demons to even get a pleasant smilo for Eastern Oregon. In the isolated counties such as Crook, Wheeler, Grant, Malheur and Harney, we need a system of good roads, and stat assis tance in mnintnning them, but we might as well ask for a U. S. Senator from Eastern Oregon. This may seem foolish talk to some of you, but the older set tlors will bear mo out in the statement, that tho forming of a new state hero in Eastern Oregon is the ono paramount issue when it comes to doing something for the development of our resource ful country. The attitude which a certain stripe of politicians displayed to ward George Chamborlain, the people's choice (in Eastern Ore gon) goes to prove that the soon er we act the better. As I said before, I am not alone when I advocate such a move, and I shnll use my best endeavor to enlist the voters of my locality in an attempt to hold a meeting in some of tho larger Eastern Ore gon towns-cither Pendleton, Baker City or La Grande -for the purpose of forming a permanent organization, which shall have for its solo purpose a now state, witnin the pounds ot what is known as Eastern Oregon." Mr. Monroe is ono of the old est settlers of Wheclor nnd Crook '"uinties, is a democrat, but takes no further interest in politics nan a strong desire to see a more marked improvement in tho means of developing tho great resources of Eastern Oregon.
