, ' TOO HIGH WHEAT FREIGHT8.
C ivTfca producers of tit Northwest have

W ahy other state, excepting, perhaps,
front some parts of Washington. Even
California, traditionally complaining at
th exaction of, th' Southern Pacific
Cocapeay, does not pay so much for
; wheat-freight per bushel, proportion to
th distance, we of Oregon have been'
too patient. W have been content When
, i we should have been Insistent. We have
permitted, when should havs pro
fclblted, excess!, charges.
, Th opening of th Columbia River to

solved th problem of carrying products
. of the Kiddle West to the Atlantic. It
would be td th Inland Empire of Oregon
- b4 Washington - what the Sues Canal
was to Uionesota, Wisconsin, th Dakota
and Iowa, and for even a much larger
cop of country.
It la a subject that must be hammered
Fpon, It must b brought constantly to
th attention of tbs Houses of Congress.
. It must be forced upon th thought of
those who go to Washington to represent
. us, or, too often, to misrepresent us, in
"the deliberations of legislation.
j There must b an irrepressible conflict,
. never ending strife, a persistency that
know no rest, ntU th end ha been

Portland, a the commercial mart of
the Inland Empire, has vital interest in
th Columbia's opening to , navigation.
Portland will reap as much benefit as will
-- th producers farther Inland. The Colum
bla open to the free passage of boats will
, make Portland such a city as Will be to
Aim present sice and importance as ten
t one. There will be no San Francisco,
nor any Taconm, nor any Seattle that
" will compare With the Portland that re
ceives the flood of trad waiting upon
. th opening of the Columbia. It is the
' on enterprise that should be inaugurated
(or the good of this city and the towns
and country that depend Upon it
- LITTLE HELP FOR THE PEOPLE.
Senator Thomas R. Bard of California
, Toted for the Panama Canal route. Mr.
' Bard a one of the men who was elected
. by a Legislature absolutely pledged to
' th Nicaragua route and he himself was
pledged to it. . Yet he falls IFown before
. th railroad Influences that were at work
T&l tb able hands of Mark Hanna. The
rafllaoads have fought the canal from the
tarv)to th present time. The substitu
tion W the Panama for the . Nicaragua
rOUtB Was at their instigation and for the
purpos of defeating the Scheme. They
' know as well as nearly everyone knows
.- that the Panama route Is not a practical
" rout and Its adoption is defeat of the
measura ' Mr. Hanna Is the man who la
' leading the fight for the railroads. When
' such, men as Bard, who has been above
reproach, will bow to such an Influence,
.,., It, makes one wonder what show tin peo
' pi )iave against corporate Influence.

SCHOOL DAYS AND AFTEffWARD
Perhaps the school boy and girl are to
b Pitied for that" they must hear so
much of ltdvlce--cheap commodity freely
given and less freely followed. Tet
there are some thing that young people
may read without lack of profit There
as some experiences that oiaer persons
have ba4 that Would be as accumulated
capital were the youngster to heed them,
and , not eomoel that, they learn only
.T - - - . ,
in th school of th same experience.
The school 1 but n epitome of the
world. It is not troe that tne stuoeni
comes forth to find an atmosphere differ,
eiit, with standards of opposU character.
As on live! in Wl school days, as one
hopes and fears, as one succeeds or is
dlseppolntad, so 1U It bo In the future
into which tUT graduate steps whan h
read bis essay or speaks bis oration.
Thar wilt b th sain glittering prom
ises; tb cam things ht seem but are
hot gold; the same -high, hopes with th
same bitter disappointments. There will
b ti ; same striving for tb, prises of
lit, Wita the nam contestants and the
same jealousies.
IB the school are young men and wo
men, grown somewhat older, but hever
tneJes -with just the needs, desire and
ambition that caused striving among
th student
It Is a false philosophy that teaches
young people that thiar aotiv world is so
different from th irorW of school days.
Ruoh philosophy grows either from lack
bf knowledge of th school, or from fail
ure to conceive what 1 tb real meaning
of life. Wherever are people will be the
things that go to make up the school
days. There will be that which interests
them, which they love, which they hate,
which they desire and that for which
they strive.
The religious philosopher argues that
death is but an incident in an endless
career, that end of physical life Is but
a point in time that never ends. In the
same sanoe, graduation-is, but an inci

that goes rt the witness th same expe

MR. PERKINS SHOULD EXPLAIN
Senator Perkins of California Withdraws
hie support for the Pacific cable, and,
favors one constructed by private own
ers. He cite the fact that th company
now offering to build th Paoiflo cable
will transmit message at fl per word,
Whereas the present sat i tl.66.
This appears to be about all the reason
given by th California Senator why there
Should be a cable owned by individuals.
Instead of by the Federal Government.
Mr. Perkins should explain his position
further. He has not covered the ground.
He apparently forgets that the British
Government is to transmit messages over
the same bcean.it SO cent "per word;
that if th cable b owned by th Gov
ernment it will be operated upon the cost
to th consumer principle; that when
business develop Sufficiently the rates
will be lowered; that, like th postal sys
tem, the Government-owned- cable line
would gradually be cheapened until the
ordinary person could afford to use ft;
in short, Mr. Perkins seems to forget
about all of the salient points in favor
of a Government-owned cable, and to
dwell upon the one that is not essential.
If there be any enterprise that the Gov
ernment should own, it is the cable next
to the.poetoffloes. Especially Is this true
In view of the fact that our relations With
the Far Ka.t are strengthening each year,
and our business growing rapidly. For
the reasons glVeti herein; the Pacific cable
should be owned and operated by"
the
Federal . Government. . Senator
Perklns
ongbt to know this, and, knowing It, he
ought to stand by th position upon which
he stood formerly, when he waa a
champion of the eenetructien of the cable
by thia Government and Its ownership

AN HISTORIC AFFAIR.
A sit should b selected for th 1905
Fair where Improvements cOftld be made
that would be permanent in their charac
ter. For Instance1, the primary object of
tb Fair Is an historical display. It Is
to commemorate H eVeftt of much im
portance to th NorthuneajU Taking that
as a central feature then the idea should
be to erect upon the site selected 'an his
tOMc build!.. . It . itiohid be permanent
and for ; U: time.' After the Fair has
passed; away this J hittorloat building
would J in th naura- of: A 'monmnt

and interest them. To accomp&sB th
greatest good In the erection oT iueV i
monument the site of the Fair should b
as cantrally located as possible, vv .-,
Mr. Rosenblatt thinks" that" in whole
people should not be taxed tor th benefit
of the few. H thinks th benefits de
rived from a flr boat would be for
those along the water fro&t Tree, 'but
if it was not for this same1 water freiif

man on the water front cannot be suc
cessful to any great Extent without ex
tending bis success to those doing busi
ness up on Sixth street, ' or even to
Twelfth street, or for that matter to all
parts of the town. No, that sort of
doctrine is not the kind which makes the

"HOLINESS" SECT'
Mi-Mi.-.'.
Religious Enthusiasts Who Are
Alwajs Looking for Trouble.
The "Holiness" adherents are a pecul
iar sect They believe that the Pay of
Judgment Is near at hand, and are ex
ceedingly demonstrative In their 'prepara
tion for it Whenever a few of them
get together they begin to sing, and their
hymns ar of the most doleful klnid all
about the condemned soul and the hor
tors of perdition. Their religion is of the
Fame doleful kind, and the beauties of
religion, of the world and of life have no
place in their creed. "Praise God" is
their way of saying "Good morning," and
the reply Is "Amen." The men kiss eaeh
cither When they meet and they, have
many other curious customs. "Thank
God I see you alive!" la another saluta
tlon.
They ar faith curists and have no
uss for physicians. .Their ministers ar
not xtald. but work at some trad a a
sld line. Their religion, will not permit
them tb wear neckties. They wear col
lars, generally of celluloid, but no ties.
Singing of hell, preachtng of hell and
praying to be delivered from heU oc
cupy most of their time, and they seem
to be trying hard to dodge th fiery fur-
ances of the hereafter, but as they go
through life they lose sight Of much that
Is beautiful and Inspiring:
More Date Trees id Arizona.
"Another carload of date palm tree
recently arrived at the experiment-sta.
tlon sooth of Tempe to be plantel. They
came from Egypt a year age," say th
PhoenlXH-Hepubllcan, "but did hot arrive
m Arisona until October, being kept in
the station greenhouse at Tucson
through th winter. They are of large
size the largest weighing as mucn a
600 pounds. They are 8$ in number, com
prising some six or seven of ths choicest
varieties.
Professor Forbes reports the orchard in
fine condition, 17 of the suckers imported
two years Ago being In blossom. This
a record-breaker for transplanted
sucker; and there" will be early informa
tion on the raamy of fruit produced by
these imported trees. Thus far the date

the reason that M eon be grown success

investigation carried on by th expert'
ment station that Is resulting satisfac

undertaken by private enterprise.
Artificial Marble.
The lack of marble in Denmark has led
te many attempts to produce a substitute
whicb would equal in deooratlve effects
the natural product. A Danish roaster
builder Is producing a stone of such dell
cate transition of tints and play of color
that it Is impossible to distinguish it from
th natural product,- whli as to cost of
manufacture, , it can compel , with, al)
other artificial marble The imitation of
th most expensive species does not ex

The process of manufacture is slmpl
scd the cost of the outfit doe not ex
ceed 1175. The artlcl oan be prodoped in
any form desired columns plain or flut
ed, and capitals as readily a flat slaba.
It la claimed that even pictures mar be
made of this marble, it seems, to hav
the durability of genuine marble, but its
cost is only about one-tenth as much., -
How to Tie a Woman' 6hoi String.
