AGAINST A SEPARATION
resident fishing and hunting li
cense of tourists is to take away
one of the charms that induced
them to travel through the
country. He says the small a
mount of fish or game such per
sons take, does not justify then
in paying this license. He re
commends a small license fee,
covering a period of 30 to 60
days, for this class of persons.
A tourist on our auto camp last
week was inquiring about fish
ing license; and expressed the
thought that he and perhaps
other tourists would be glad to
catch a fish or two for a meal,
and enjoying for an ' hour, a
sport which they had been led
i to believe was a characteristic
feature of the country; but
i they could not afford to buy a
I license for a year, at the high
Irate charged residents, for what
they would get-out of It.

WHAT WILL PORTLAND DO?
In the contest which is now
i being wged over the threat
ened separation of the South
ern and Central Pacific, the at-
titude of Portland is a mattei j
jof some uncertainty and some
iconcern. Several other power-!
jful railroads have, possibly. ;
larger Interests in Portland
than the Southern Pacific. At
;any rate, the Influence of the
; other railroads with which Port-!
iland is connected might be ex-j
'vected to bring about some con
flict of interests and some dl-;
j vision of sentiment.
I But there are other kinds of1
interests to be considered. Port-i
land is the chief city of Oregon,
.res preponderance is greater
.than that of the metropolis of
.almost any other state In the
.union. It is manifest that the
interests of the greater part of
the state, geographically, and
the interests of the state as a
whole, considered economically,
are decidedly opposed to the
separation aA this time. Will
she raise her voice and throw
iher strength. In this critical
itime. In union with the voice
land in harmony with the Inter
ests of the rest of the state?
To retain her present commend-
While there may have been
a good economic principle In
volved in It It certainly was In
line with the popular sentiment
of the country at large at the
time the breaking up of the
old Harriman merger was one
of the hardest blows that have
ever been struck at the devel
opment of Oregon. It separat
ed two Interests that should
have cooperated to put through
the railroad line thnt had boon
projected to run through' the
center of Oregon from east to
west. That line was a vital
part of the combination of lines
and other facilities In which
Springfield was peculiarly in
terested. When we consider
the other hindering causes that
have intervened since that time,
we may question .whether that
line would have been built
through by this time In any
case; but the building of that
l!ne. or such a line, was greatly
hindered and the development
of Oregon, especially eastern
Oregon, greatly checked by the
unmerging of the two parts ot
the great system on which the
welfare of this state so largely
depended.
If, the recent supreme court
decision separating the Central
PaclMc from the Southern Pac
ific should be carried Into ef
fect, as we still hope It will not
be, It would be another hard
blow struck tit the development
of Oregon as a state, and espec
ially of western Oregon and that
portion of southern Oregon ly-i
ing Immediately east of the cas
cades, and a blow coming with
special force upon the most
promising Interests of Spring
field and the region round
about.

In the contest that Is now being
waged to settle the disposition
of the Central Pacific proper
ties. The greatest hope that
Springfield has for its own fu
ture prosperity is based on the
Southern Pacific's property In
terests here and the plans for
the future which these Interests
were intended to serve. With

Folks
Just between you and yourself do you always ask
for home manufactured products of your dealer? When
buying poultry or dairy feeds, do you Insist on the NOXAI.L
brand? Do you buy flour from the grocer thnt recom
mends NORTHWEST FLOUR?
Let's be fair with ourselves and our community. It
always pays to use home products.

fostering the Interests which
Springfield has In common with
the Southern Pacific.
If the Central Pacific falls un
der th control of some other
company, say the Union Pacific,
It might in time complete tne
Natron cut-off, snd it might
even build their shops at Spring
field. But it might do neltbe.
But both of these enterprises
are known to be parts of the
plsn of the Southern Pacific;
snd we have good reason to be
lieve that the time Is at hand
uhn If It In not Interfered with.
It will speedily carry them both
through.
Springfield has every reason
to dread the. effect of the un
merging, and every reason to
oppose It by every means In her
power.
