FROM WAVERLY.
A special from Washington to
tha Telegram says: Senator
Chamberlain recently sent a let
ter to Senator Bourne and Rep
resentatives Ellis and Hawley,
inviting them to co-operate with
him in obtaining legislative re
sults for Oregon interests. He
suggest that the delegation act
aa a unit and that the members
meet and onranize. selecting a
chairman and secretary and take
steps to render the state the best
possible service. He calls atten
tion to the efforts to remove tho
departmental headquarters from
Vancouver to Seattle, and tho
desirability of united efforts to
prevent, and the desirability of
having Portland made the head
quarters of tho new railway mail
division contemplated in the
Northwest
He disclaims a wish to partici
Date in the distribution of Feder
al patronage, and of a desire to
interfere with state politics, say
ing: "lam actuated solely by the
hope that in all affecting com
mercial and industrial develop
ments of Oregon we bury politi
cal, personal and social differen
ces and act as a unit"
Representatives Hawley and
Elli3 have not yet answered
Chamberlain's letter. Both say,
however, they are as intensely
interested as any one in promot
ing Oregon's interest and will
continue to work along such line.
They say there are many occa
sions when individual effort is
necessary. They will reserve to
themselves the right to work
along lines that seem to them
most likely to obtain results.
They will have a conference be
fore making a reply to Senator
Chamberlain.

WHAT TO HAT IN Sl'HINO.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson in th
April Woman's IJomo Companion
tells a great many t hinge about
food, what to eat and when to
eat it, that most of us never
knew before, and lie tells it in a
most interesting wny.
"'Tis in tho spring the young
man's fancy lightly turns not
merely to thoughts of love, but
heavily away from tho dull mon
otony of corned beef, cabbage
and potatoes. Our clogged pal
ates begin to yearn for the clean,
sharp acidity of 'pie plant, ''the
crisp, bitter freshness of 'spring
greens.'
"But, alas, with the longing
Nature does not always provide
tho means of its gratification.
To the careful housokeopor in
her marketing, spring, not win
ter, is the peculiar 'season of her
discontent.' 'Tho llowors that
bloom, etc.,' ore lovely to tho oye
and cheering to tha spirit, but
they furnish oxeftlinrV few
'ingridiments' for oi.ii- . des

very poetical, but you can't eat
'em. Thoy stir up longings for
sourness and freshness and things
that 'cranch' botweon tho teeth
in April, but tho substance of
these things hoped for, the gar
den sas' and berries, don't come
in satisfactory amounts until
Juno."
And then Doctor Hutchinson
goes on and gives a complete
springtime menu for every meal
for an entire week. It is not nn

OUR UNDEVELOPED SECTIONS.
That Oregon has large areas of
territory which are of no com
parative value that is as com
pared with what they would be
with transportation facilities is
a fact patent to all who have
looked into the question.
Hence it is a fact, that with
railways to these sections lliestate
would have a large increase in
taxable values, for it is true that
much of tho land now lying prac
tically waste is far better than
large areas in eastern Oregon
and eastern Washington now
producing large yields of cereals.
Our greatest undeveloped coun
try is, of course, in the Harney
country, by which wo mean that
vast section bounded on the south
by California, on tho west by
tho Cascades, on tho north by
tho Blue and other mountains
and on tho east by the Snake
river.
This area embraces practical
ly one third of tho state, and
very much of it can and would
iio irrigated and much of it
"farmed" after tho manner of
the Umatilla wheat belt, provid
ed tho products could find a mar
ket. For a quarter of a century tho
people of that section have been
clamoring for a railway, clamor
ing for relief. Had a road been
built through there nt the time
the roads wero built through
enstern Washington, tho Ilarnoy
country would now bo as wealthy
and as populous as tho Palouso
or Big Bend sections.
The peoplo of tho Ilarnoy
country want railways. Thoy
want them as soon as thoy can
bo built. They play no favor
ites and will welcome any real
builders who will give them a
lino from Boiso to tho Pacific,
Coos bay being tho most prac
tical terminus for tho good of tho
road and tho good of the people.
But if no railway builders ap
pear, the peoplo want to build
thoir own roads, and they want
permission to bond their lands
for this purpose.
Tho Oregonian would havo us

A dispatch from Tncoma Wash,
to tho Everting Capital Nows
says: Articles ot incorporation
have been filed bore for the
Pacific-Orogon Railway & Navi
gation company. It is thought
by railroad men that Jamos J.
Hill is behind tho corporation,
although the incorporators arc
all Tncoma men.
Tho articles stato tho company
will build railroad lines in Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Cali
fornia and transact a steamship
business between this city, San
Francisco, Portland and other
Pacific const porta.
The promoters of the enter
prise aay one of the first Bteps
of the new company will be to
construct a railroad from the
Coos Bay country, Oregon, 1(50
miles inland, traversing a rich
agricultural country. MarBhlielfl
or North Bend will most probab
ly be tho ocean terminal of this
road.
A. E. Law, one of tho incor
porators, was for many years a
loading official of the Northern
Pacific railroad in the west
With tho filing of articles of
incorporation in Tncoma for the
Pacific-Oregon Railway & Navi
gation company, generally re
garded as being 'i corporation
backed by James J. Hill, it is bo
Jieved that tho railroad builder
ha commenced" active prepara
tions for the invasion of the Har
riman territory in Oregon and
California.
Tho article state that th"
company proposes to build rail
road lines in Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho and California and
transact a steamship busmen i

secure possession of the United
