For the Orst decade of tbe twentieth
century ouo of Canada's greatest ac
complishments will be tbe completion
of the Dominion's second transconti
nental railway. Tbe Grand Trunk
has finished its prairie section from
Winnipeg to Edmonton. From Ed
monton to tbe coast, 700 miles, through
the mountuins, three years more will
be noded. The work is exceedingly
difficult and expensive.
Officers of tbe autbraoite railroads
have notified sales ageuts in Eastern
cities tbat indications now favor a
serious shortage in tbe domestic? sizes
of coal tbo coming winter, as tbe total
output of tbe mines up to September 1

same period last year. The mines will
ke operated at full capacity from this
on.

mercial travelers. It is said tbat no
less than 40,000 commercial travelers

Tbe saving of expense bas profited
tbe consumer nothing, but on toe con
tra! y. with added power to reduce
prices, the trusts have steadily inflated
prices until tbey are now as bigb or
higher than ever known and with
further expansion of trust organiza

influence for combating the trusts Las
arisen and a big organization of com

otherwise, is fighting bard for Bryan

ENEMIES OF THE STATE.

NEW FOEMEN FOR TRUSTS.
A new influence hns arisen to com
bat the trusts, and it is apparently to
be a considerable actor in tbe present
campaign. l urtuor developments and
expansion of trusts, if permitted iu tbe
country, promises to almost entirely
eliiuiuute tbe commercial traveler.
Standard Oil already takes its raw
material from tbe ground, manufac
tures it into tbo refined prod Dot, and
itself delivers it to tbe door of the re
tail dealer, pooketiug every cent of
profit earned or earnntlo, from na
ture's origiual deposits to the lamp or
stove that finally burns the oil. When
all of tbe rest of tbe great combina
tions complete their arrangements and
apply similar methods, a small group
of a few hundred meu will be almost
the solo euruers, between mother eaitb
nud the consumer. Employment with
its moans of support for hundreds of
thousauds of families will thus be
denied !to numbors'of workers, promi-
Outside people who read of tbe atti
tude some Oregouiang take towards tbe
schools of tbe state will tbink tbat
Oregon is a miserable little place where
tbe people are barely able to eke out
an existence.
Last spring terrific objection was
raised to tbe appropriation for tbe
University of Oregon, although the
amount voted for tbat fine institution
was bat one-fourth what the state of
Washington bad voted for its univer
sity.
For years tbe state bas taken a nig
gardly polioy towards its normal
schools. Past appropriations for them
ave been meager far lower than
what Washington bas given to its nor
mals yet narrow-minded men bave
bjeoted to every dollar tbat bas been
spent. Now these men are trying to
start a movement to still further ham
per tbe normal sohools. Tbey are
urging tbat one, two or all of tbe
present school J be abolished. Ibey
promise to take the fight into tbe leg
islature.
If the course advooated by these
men were followed to tne logical con
clusion Oregon would abolish all of its
schools. It would spend money for
nothing. Tbe state would go baok to
the period when grass and pine trees
grew in tbe streets of Portland and
people lived upon the game they could
Kin and tbe llsb tbey could catch.
Oregon is not a primitive state. Its
people are not starving. The natural
resources of tbe state are unsurpassed.
Its people are prosperous and tbe pop
ulation is growing. In a short time
there will be a million people here in
stead of tbe 600,000 at present.
It is time for this antagonism to the
schools to stop. Upon tbe good work
done by tbe sohools, normal and other
wise, hangs the salvation of the state.
They should be given all tbe money
they need and should not be hampered
at every tarn.
Tbe men who try to block just school
appropriations are enemies of the state
and of civilization. EastJOrogoniau.
