Sho if n Chicago woman and ha
n Chicago fear of Imrjilnrt. Tho oili
er day when she went to Iht room
on I0 hpeoin floor of a well known
2f. Ilartlett residence, slje noted that
the kitchen door wn open. Litter;
she heard n nohc in one of the room
down flairs. Trembtiiijr, hut with
true, qonniftc, she ndvnuced to the
henil of the .Ioim nml called in as
inupji of n man's voico n she could
iptnier, "("tome, forth, ymi thief, come
forth." There was n, moment's s5
lepco nnd Ihen n fearful rah ami
several muttered exclamation.
'Corac forth you thief, come forth."
rcjenicd tho brave woman ami a slim
and frightened man came to icw.
lie unvn one look at tho woman, emit
ted a heavy Rasp, and said, "Gee,
I'm plad you'm only n woman and
thnt oti Imcn'l a gun." It wn
the giis man who had been forced to
craul under (he kitchen table to
read the meter. At the first "Conic
forth" he fell over and pulled the
tabic and an assortment of dMies
and pans down oxer bU ears. He
nays he was never n frightened in
his life and the woman says she
feels the same way.
The other day ono Medford family
lost a cow and the new columns
told how the eannv animal had un
locked the bam door and climbed a
fence to get away. Thinking the
cow wns stolen (ho fazsily riotifScd
the police and instituted search pro
ceedings throughout th6 county.
Theroiwcro 110 results. The next
noon tho cow stuck its head in the
ront door and let loose one long and
gladsome "moo." "It is sy J that ljn
wife in the family wept with joy and
the, husband embraced bossy's neck.
The milkman got order to quit leav
ing bbltlea on tho back stoop for
bossy in on I ho job iigain.

FIOHTIlf O THE SQUARE DUAL
MMMMMMMMaa
PORTLAND niul the rnili-oads ItfaRUPtl with it, nre still
(Vying to prejudice (he public ngnin.st (ho inllintivo
rato hill nnd the opponents linve invoked the md ot the
courts in thb effort to knock put tho now Inw.
The rqilrotuhvcoiiinlnhi that it will kill industry by fore
intr (hem (o chnrjro higher rates. At the same timo they
(hum that it will bankrupt them. This is a Hiunpln of the
specious arguments being made against the measure.
If tho'bill increases freight rates, why should the rail
rpftds fight it? It it lowers'them, whyshould (he shipporrt
fight it f A4 a matter of truth, (he bill accepts as a base,
tho, first class rates established by tho railroad com
mission last Jjtnuary, and establishes a new ratio
which increases the spread between carload and less
than carload shipments. Tho less than carload shinments
are left about as they are, but the carload rates are re
duced.
The bill does not, as the railroad pretends to believe,
interfere with commodity rates any more than the sched
ule established by the railroad commission does. The new
rates nre maximum rates, just as tho old rates were, and
the railroad can make special rates as much lowi'r as
desired, but not ineroaso tliem. This is a principle recog
nized by the interstate commerce commission, and whicli
eoverns all rate making.
Tho hue and cry against tho bill is inspired by the Port
land jobbers who would prevent tho development of dis
tributing editors to cinch their monopoly as the one dis
tributimr point in the state and throttle all other natural
renters. a policy that dwarfs the development of Oregon
and eventually reacts upon the metropolis.
The real complaint against the new rato law is that it
gives every locality a smiare deal by ending the discrim
ination against them all in favor of Portland.

LYNCHINGr THE KNOCKER.

THE Mail Tribune is preparing data and statistics for
its. annual Xcw Year's issue, so that tho world may
know ot the material progress and prosperity of the Kogue
river valley.
The size of the paper and tho number issuc.d will de
pend entirely upon tho support accorded by the public. It
deserves a liberal patronage, for the Now Year's issue is
a most creditable publication and superior to that printed
in any city in Oregon, outside the metropolis.
Quality, rather than quantity, is the controlling idea
of the publishers not a waste of white paper but concise
and accurate statements of conditions with as many illus
trations as possible. Too Jarge a paper would destroy its
eficctiveness.
As no publicity pamphlet, has been issued for six
mouths and as none will be for as many more months,
the New Year's Mail Tribune offei-s the only available
medium of publicity for exploiting the valley.
The hearty co-operation of the entire valley is request
ed in making'the issue a success.
