CATARRH SUFFERERS
Good ThlHg to Know.
It you now own a Hyomel hard
rubber Inhaler, Chas. Strang wants
you to know that ho will sell you a
bottle of HYOMEI for only 50 cents.
Remember this, all who suffer with
catarrh a bottle of HYOMEI (pro
nounce It HIgh-o-mo) is put up In a
-separate package and sold for 50
-cents, to accommodate the vast army
-of people who already own a Hyomel
'Inhaler.
Chas. Strang will sell it to you at
that price and give you the opportu
nity to begin at once to rid yourself
of vile catarrh and the snuffling,
hawking and spitting that go with It.
Many people through years of neg
lect have let catarrh get a strong
hold upon them. Some of these peo
ple unreasonably think that one bot-
tlo of HYOMEI ought to cure them.
ZNo matter how chronic your ca
"'tarrhal troubles, HYOMEI Is guaran
teed by Chas. Strang to cure them If
you give It half a chance. Just
breathe It, that's all, and its healing,
soothing, antiseptic, properties will
;mako you feel better in a day.
If you own an Inhaler get a 50
cent bottle of HYOMEI today. If
you do not own a Hyomel inhaler,
ask for a $1.00 outfit, which includes
Inhaler.

THE OREGONIAN GROWING LITTLE.
H
WING- searched long and carefully the record of
Oswald "West without having found a single flaw,
the Oregonian and its feeble echoes are striving to make
a campaign scandal out of the fact that Mr. West col
lected mileage money to which he was entitled from the
matter NO- ,rAi'iiniiwitf in?l liiiii no hmIiiiiol' iw? fni'iirwl nwi1 Jill Mill: I
Office all Sv" Vl1""1 "M lm "' o n " ii.iiv.oo, unit minim vr . v v .... ,
his legitimate expenses to the state as a refund of his sal
ary, because he considered it belonged to the state, of
which he was an cmnlove.
The action was unusual. Mr. West could have kept the j
money. But his puritanical idea of duty would not permit
him to, and now these assembly organs are censuring him
because he was conscientious enough to return it to his
employer. xV candidate with these commendable strict
ideals is a rarity in politics, and no wonder the pie-counter
politicians cannot understand it. If this is graft, give us
more of it.
This campaign is demonstrating how littlo a big paper
like the Oregonian can become, how meanly it can distort
and color trifles, how unfair and' contemptible it grows
in its selfish effort to foist its own assqinbly candidate and
system upon the ueople'.
The Oregonian has all the meanness, spite and unfair
ness it ever had, but it is littler: the old ability is lacking
the master pen is missing.
l
ALL THE TRAFFIC WILL BEAR.
M
TT WAS a pathetic plea that Attorney W. D. Feutoii made
for the poor old Southern Pacific at the depot dedica
tion ceremonies. Despite the utmost economy, the rail
road is still some six or eight millions "in the red." Yet
the outlook is not altogether black; this aurora borealis
of hope exists if railroad rates are let alone, and pres
ent prosperous conditions continue, and the development
of the state proceeds, in some eight or ten years this an
cient deficit will be wiped out. So .eloquent was the speak
er that one almost felt called upon to pass the hat to keep
the poverty-stricken Harriman system from the poorhouse.
Of course, records show that the Southern Pacific
charges the highest tariffs and pays the biggest dividends
of any system in the country. Its common stock, which is
all water, is worth, in the present depreciated market, only
120. Its entire line has been rebuilt and modernized out
of the earnings, leaving in addition enough for fat divi
dends. It holds, bottled up, millions of acres of land, in
cluding vast forests, valuable mining prospects, fertile
valleys, farms and fruit land, which it refuses 'to sell or
develop on any terms, despite the agreement under which
the grant was received from the government for develop
ment and colonization purposes. The sale of these lands
would more than take the railroad out of the red, but they
are "for future generations," as the late Mr. Harriman
once said, and if the debt Avas wiped out there would be no
excuse for exorbitant tariffs.
Medford appreciates her new depot very much, and is
glad that the Southern Pacific made a virtue out of a ne
cessity and built it. xUl too frequently public service cor
porations show so little consideration for their patrons,
pack them in old cars like sardines and let them stand
for horn's, in mere sheds, called by custom, depots. So
when a railroad supplies a long felt want, even though it
is for its own interest, the occasion calls for a public cel
ebration. It is hard to criticise the Southern Pacific. The offi
cials are all so obliging and courteous. Surely no railroad
ever had a finer set of officials than the Southern Pacific
lines in Oregon, none more anxious to please, more willing
to accommodate. Yet their authority is limited. Thev
onlr govern the surface. Masters of Wall street are the
real rulers, and Wall street only thinks of dividends, only
or increased profits to push the sale or inflated securities.
Wall street has ever followed the late Collis P. Hunt
ington's policy of charging "all the traffic will bear," of
increasing tariffs where possible, of building branch lanes
only when forced to, of contesting in courts every reduc
tion ordered, no matter how just and reasonable. Hence
we have the Southern Pacific, boasting of its friendship
for southern Oregon, demonstrating this friendship by en
joining in the federal courts the order of the state railroad
commission written by Oswald West, ordering a very rea
sonable reduction and more equitable schedule of freight
rates in southern Oregon, the principal thing needed to
develop this section.
There is no justice in forcing the people of southern
Oregon to pay higher rates than the people of eastern
Oregon pay, than the people of Washington or other sec
tions pay for the same service. Yet that is what we have
had to pay, and what the railroad is trying to force us to
continue to pay. The excess profits in Medford alone have
paid for man' a depot.
At best the Southern Pacific can but delay the en
forcement of the rate revision ordered. Through techni
calities, the railroad may secure respite for some months
and continue its extortionate prices, but not for long. The
legal phases of the matter were determined by the suit
over the reductions ordered on the O. R. & N. by the state
commission. These were contested in the highest courts
with the result that the railroad commission was fully sus
tained and the reduced tariffs placed in effect. It will be
the same with the reductions ordered on the Southern Pa
cific.
Southern Pacific attorneys claim that the cut in rates
proposed Avill cause them a loss of $300,000 a year. They
declare that the Southern Pacific is not making any money
and never has made any. They assert, that the enforcement
of the reduced tariffs will be equivalent to confiscation,
and question the validity of the act creating the railroad
commission.
All of which is clap-trap, foil no city in the land is pay
ing higher rates than Medford rates that are inequitable
and unjust.
The railroad is entitled to a square deal but so are
the people; and the people of southern Oregon are not get
ting it under the present freight rates.
