Every lartre railroad
up in detail, and the issue
and statistics regarding both the traffic lines and the
country tributary to them.
Regarding Oregon, the Times says:
"If one familiar with tho whole country woro naked what statu would
probably show tho most progress nml tho highest rate of development In tho
next ten years, anions tho first ho would mention Oregon. Its average
length east, and west la ,100 miles nnd Its length SCO miles. Tho Cascade
mountains divide It Into two section. Tho constat portion, which has been
nettled for CO years, has a mild, moist cllmnte. Is rich In agriculture, nnd
contains tho great city of Portland, with 207,000 people, built up around
Its splendid harbour ou tho Willamette Klver, up which ocean vessels Sail
freely. Tho eastern section, a high tableland, much of It richly forested and
with a drlor climate, Is almost virgin territory. Old laud grants. In aid or
road building aggregating SOO.OOO acres have recently passed Into private
ownership, and aro to bo opened up. Into this country tho railroads aro
building now, and tho ranch is yielding to the farm.
"Eastern Oregon is n fine wheat country, the yield In 19 11 being 10,
725,000 bushels. From tho big ranges US.000,000 pounds of wool were
taken. Tho value of farm property Increcensed 205.8 per cent In the last
ton years, aud tho value of land per acre 213.7 per cent. The lumber cut In
1909 was nearly two billion toot. Tho fisheries bring In wealth amount
ing to. $1,350,000 a year. Some of the finest fruit in tho world Is grown In
the Roguo Hirer Valley nnd in orchards along the Columbia Klvor. Tho
stato In 1910 had 30 times the population It had In 1S50, while tho popula
tion of tho United States was multiplied by but four. Portlnnd Is one of tho
finest cities of the country, with 2,200 manufacturing establishments and
bank clearings of $S5S,000.000. Salem grow from 4,000 to 14,000 In Iho
last ten years ana Medrord from 1.SO0 to S.S00; and yet tho whole stato
nvorages only seven persons to tho square mile. This Is tho battleground
whom the northern and tho southern transcontinental railway systems moot,
and their contest for supremacy is opening up tho country nnd producing
many changes and a remarkable development,
"When it is remembered that the London Times cir
culates all over the globe, and that it is the great authority
of countless Englishmen and .the bible of the army o'r
English investors, such a notice is the best possible adver
tisment for Oregon.
The railroad section is a veritable encyclopedia of
railroad information and valuable alike to "the railroad
man aud the general public.
The United States Postal Express
By K. L. McClure.
Tho Inter-Stato 'Commcrco Com
mission has published Its report In
the matter of express rates, prac
tices and revenues, which exhibits
the express business la all Its naked
deformities. Express companies
have built up a gigantic business by
a scrvlco that has become Indispens
able for public convenience. They
havo fixed tho rato of charges with
out accountability to anyone but the
railroad company, whoso contract
to operato over Its territory Is tho
first essential to do business; and I
tho railroad is only concerned that
tho rates shall not bo low enough to
ariect tho disparity between pass
enger and freight train service to pro
duce all tho traffic will bear. The
express companies touch everybody's
pocket book with tho dictum of the
bandit your money or your life.
Tho enormous revenuo of tho ex
press companies Is tho least evil
of tho gigantic monopoly. Tho high
cost of living which puzzles all the
pundits, while fundamentally caused
by the circulation of .money,' Is af
fected directly by every distribution
of wealth.
The express business is the natural
channel of distribution between pro
ducers and consumers for all dally
needs as the mall Is for letters and
papers. Any person having a pack
age to send should bo able to send It
by Postal Express, by a regular perio
dic service, to any person in the
United Slates with the same positive

COMMUNICATION.
Tho Parsing of Judge Ilnnford.
To the Editer:
Gone but not forgotten, may well
be said of tho late lamented Judge.
Hanford was a strict tec-totalcr
and gave many Illustrated temperanco
lectures. And as the Judge stag
gered down the street closely imi
tating a drunken man, many a fond
parent has called their child's at
tention to tho diro effect of tho
demon rum. In fact all but his most
intimate friends were deceived, so
closo was tho imitation. As a jug
gler ha was second to none. He could
pass out receiverships with tho loft
hand as well as with tho right, keep
lng four In the air at onco and bal
ancing two others on his chin. Han
ford was strictly non-partisan In his
benefactions, he could pass a dona
tion to a republican railroad or a
democratic street car company. Ho
has left a monument to his party
second only to a Lorlmer or an Arch
ibald. A monument that a Keeno, a
Colvlg or a Taft can point to with
prldo. Tho outgoing president paid
this glowing tribute to him. "Ho
exemplifies the highest typo or re
publican citizenship on earth nnd
typifies tho kind of mon wo will moot
In hcavon," or words to that effect.
AH of which wo heartily ondorso.
Tho one thing this truly grand old
bulwark of tho (J, O. P. could not
Vnld. A monument that a Keeno, a
crcnturo of that faith acted on tho
Judge as a red flag on an enraged
bull or a suffragette to a Whlstlor.
But after all both Hanford and Wills
ler must admit a socialist and suffra
gette Is part human. As a JuBt and
cqultablo Judgo Hitiifonl ,)(( noth
ing to be; desired and bo will bo
greatly missed by many of tho vory
best people, of Seattle and the stato
(Washington Including; tho Dnllon-

It ft 1
svstem in Ameriea is writ ion
in replete with aeeurato data
dependence of the lettor scrvlco. Tho
scrvlco should cover rural, town and
city, local business as well as out-of-town
business, to make all deliveries
whether one packago or hundreds for
store, trade, farmer or individual,
saving the hundred fold duplication
of service, driving back and forth
over the samo territory, and substi
tuting a perfect dcllvory scrvlco for
u!l.
t
This would put ovoy producer In
direct contact with every consumer
nnd cut out tho broker and middle
man, who takes tbo lion's shari of
profit In every exchange in thcTtfls-
trlbutlon of wealth, and Is tho most
active agent In tho Increased cost of
living.
This niost-ta-be-dcslred object can
never bo attained until tho national
government supersedes all tho ex
press companies by establishing a
Postal Express, as an excluslvo
monopoly, to handle every kind of
express dcUevcrlcs, local and out-of-town,
rural, town and city, through
out the United States and connecting
with all foreign countries.
The practical suggestions of tho
commission cannot lm realized, with
out the actual management of tho do
taile aro diverted by officials re
sponsible to the public to operate tho
busbies solely for the Interest of the
producer and consumer, instead of
making profits for tho corporation
first, favor to special interests second,
nnd tho public interest last, as the
expresc business is conducted nt the
present time.

FEAR OF DEATH SEALS LIPS
OF WITNESS MURDER CASE
NEW YOItK, July 25. -Fears of
revenge at the hands of tho East Siilo
gangsters was ever present In the
minds of witnesses In the Rosenthal
niurdor Investigation, and temporar
ily blocked tho efforts of District At
torney Whitman to draw closer the
net about the men who assassinated
the gambler.
Apparently awed by tho presenco
pf gangsters In tho coroner' court,
John llcisler, a barber, retracted 'it
tho coroner's examination statements
alleged to havo been made a few min
utes beforo to Whitman to tho effect
that ho saw "Brldgy" Webber run
ning from tho scene of the murder.
Tho coroner's hearing was In tho
nuturo of an examination of Wcbbr
and Paul, both charged with com
plicity In tho murder. It was to con
nect Webber more closely with tho
case that Uelslor was placed on the
stand. It Is believed Whitman was
laying lines to force Webber to a
statement which would implicate the
"higher ups".
It Is at the door of tbo "police
system" that Whitman places the re
sponsibility for tho murder of tho
man who charged tho polices were ex
uding tributo from tho gamblers. The
proceedings this afternoon wero hen
national, llcisler was tho first witness called.
Ho testified ho saw Webber after tho
Itoscnthu! murder. Whitman asked
If ho was running and Itelulor'a eyes
shifted uneasily toward Webber,'
Paul and others und replied: "I don't'
knpw."
