the present rapid gr.iwth cununue, will, sometime, rival
Albany in sise.
With the bul'ding of our railroad. Scio is lioun-l to take
her place in development with th«- other t iwns of the county.
With the < xtending of the line to the limlier twits up Ttioma»

obtaining a sufficient milk supply ia furnished and the pro­
posed railway lines into the Jordan and l.acomb countries,
will furnish the mean* of transportation fur the largt- sec-
lions of ideal «lairy country up taith creeks. Also the rich
sandy bottom lands of Loth sections will ta- taxed in the
production of food product* for the consumption of the
|M-ople less fortunately aituatc«l, as never before.
What is true of Albany, l.el snon ami Scio, is true «if all
other portion* of the county, or of all othrr portion* of the
state, for that matter. Oregon i* taking on the greatest
period of development, of her-history. Th«- transitron of a

The people have found that Oregon soil is capable of pro­
ducing numerous crop* other than grain and which are fa»
more profitable. The other stat«-» f^vc heard of our *plen-
did climate and the womierful productivrne*» of our »oil.
They have heard of the astonishing returns of the orchards
of H« m «I River ami Southern Oregon. They are, also, ascer­
taining that the thou»amia of acres of the western Cascade
slerw-s and the entire Coast range of mountains, are just as
productive anti d«-»irabl<- fruit la«»«)» a* Hi-<»l or Rng.a- rivers.
The fabulous prices at which lamb are value«l in those »ec­

Millar-I 0. Ixinfl.ile i* one of these ami hr has demonstrate*!
that either the cast or west hill slopes of the Willamette
valley are just a» valuable apple lands as are the hill lamia
of H««l river.
So the outlook for «levrlopment in Western Oregon wa»
never better than to-day and in no part of the valley is there
a better nor more varie<| section than Eastern Linn county.
With thr bevt bcxli * of timtar awaiting the lumberman, the

ing that Mr. Taft w«iukl «arry on th* so-called Rr»>*cvclt
policies of government. The interests di<) not mu--h hk«-
Mr. Taft. Had a I) •morra’, wh«i would have been • ¡L-
servent to their wishes. Iweu hi* opponent, Mr. Taft would
hive been defeated. But the interest knew that Mr Bryan
was a jieople « man from start to hnish and that they com«!
nope for no favor* from him. So they gave their influence
and support to Mr. Taft and they now know no mistake,
from their viewpoint, was made.
But will not, ha* not Mr. R-«o<«evclt concluded ere th»
that ho wa* mirtaken in his estimate of hia war «ccrctary?
Will h«- not. judging from his past history, he apt to do so n>
insurging himself ami bi come sligt.e<l with the i.isurgt-nt
wing of hi* party? Even in the last year uf hl* i residency ,
he began t.> Sec that th«- Republican party must divorce itself
frtun the domination of the moneyed interests, if it maintain­
'd supremacy in th«- politic* of the country, arid he is too
g«s>I a politician and ia too sagaciuus not to see that, during
hi* year of absence, this condition has become intensified and
that the eaam, lx tween the interests as rejiresc- tc-i by
Canno i ard Akfrich, has brccmc tm dirp and t<o wide to
b- bridged over. An«) too, he cannot help but sec that
i'resident Taft has become allied with the Cannon-Aldrich
crowd ami that the great mass of hia party i* against it.
It ia nonsen*«« to suppose that Mr. Ruoaevelt will not soon
become active in |sditie* again Silence an ) nonparticipation
is for« ign t > his nature, lie likes to talk and use I iji |ien
too weil to I «ecu me a mere private citiaen. An«l he is too
pstriutie to tail see that th«« people needs ju«t »u«h influential
champion* as he for their interests and too wise not to see
that hia uarty, t«i be aa«e«l from «mmplete disruption, must
tie saved from the rock* and shoals, into which th.« men who
have ha«l charg«« uf its d«-»times during hi* «bgoncr. h*\«-
pilot«»l it.
So the people, th* rank and flic of the Republican party
am) the insurgent congressmen will greet Mr. Roosevelt
with the warmest possible f««elirig of friendship ami h >peful-
nee*. The protect«--) interrats ami the congressmen who
have am) are serving th«'m *o well, would be perfectly con­
tent if he ha-l declibvl to »|n«nd the r* st of his day* hi the
African jungl-««; for there he was harmle»» to their ii ten- ts
an) efforts am) here he will be a source of great danger to
them.
Ilia return will, also, place I’residerit Taft in somewhat of
a predicament. Mr. Taft was el««cted to carry out Roo«e-
vdt'a policim. He acknowledge«! that such was ths case, in
a late publi- speech. But his acta, as president, in several
particular*, are not in harmony with what Mr. Rms« velt
would have done, had he h»en In Mr. Tafts place. It i* saf<-
to say that President Taft w«xild not have done some of th-
things which he has. had Mr. Roosevelt Iwen in his home­
land. lie will alm«i*t have to a|>ologiie to hi* preifeeesiior
for several of his acts.
If Mr. Roosevelt will accept, there is no doubt but what
he will be nominated to be Mr. I aft-* successor. The magni­
ficent reception which is being prejmred for him. is intemied
to be the owning gun of the campaign. The Nswa Iwliovc*
that he is the only Kepubii an which can lie elected and
even HR. may fall; because of the jieoplc being so bw'ly
buncoed in the revision of the tariff. But should he rstwike
congress for fading to live up to th«- promise* mad«- by hts
(-arty in thr last campaign, in spirit aa well a* in letter, he
will have a |»opulanty among the j>eopl<- unbounlxl.
Mr. Roosevelt'* I .Ze history would lead one to think that
when he fully umleratanda the cause* which lead to in
•urgency flrat ami the curtailment of Speaker Cannon's
power later on. that he will align himaelf with the insurgent«.
If ao, with hia large influence and hia known qualities aa a
fighter. there ta aenoua trouble ahead for the Cannon Akinch
crowd. Ina trail of being a pacificator, he la liable to add
fu«l to the fire.
