Hint it is to the advantage of stock growers generally u, pass Uils market and no to Heat tip. was asserted by lir. W. I.. Itisliop ol Dundee while In Cortland last week. "The stockyards in Portland u'serimlnate 1 .1 cents a hundred aalmit Willamette valley hogs and 7.0 coins a hundred against M-fllainetto. vallev lanibs," said Dr. itisliop, who until recently has been shipping about -ion hogs a year. i Here are the figures: 1 can always not 2S Cents a hundred more for hogs In Seattle tii'tu In l'ortland. Seattle does not enforce the discrimi nation of !.- cents a hundred agailiHl Willamette valley hops nor 10 cents a hundred for variations in color. Aciirload means IS, 000 pounds and I have received never less than $90 a carload more In Seattle than in l'ort land. which leaves $."iti extra after paving the freight. As a matter of fact, tiie not profit has UHtially been more." Tliiit is tlie usual l'ortland policy. In southern Oi'etron stoekiiM'ii i'rcqiient ly ship to San Francisco and secure bet ter prices than they would have got in l'ortland, despite the addit ional J'l'ciht. I!ut it is not only in livestock, but in nearly everything produced, that l'ortland does not give fair treatment to Oregon. To l'ortland, Oregon is a lemon to be squeezed drv and in tin squeezing, l'ortland has squeezed herself. Slit' has no money to spend developing the state, but plenty for einply skyscrapers. The shortsighted policy has built up a citv at tin- expense of the state's development a city larger lliaii its dwarfed Iribiitarv territorv can support. That is why Fort la nd has failed sion, as f-iealtle anil otliev cities l'ortland is now trying to Oregon by insisting on securing the same freight rates tin iber to (.'aliloi'ina inland gon mills, ISOO miles nearer California, have and success will mean the dosim1: of lumber mills in the interior the oiijet-r iieing to i.-tui up ine lumuer mills 01 j'ortianu at tne expense of thosi' n Fort la nil's tributary territory. Forlland already litis the portation and through rales to her, and if she succeeds in closing the soul h to the inter ior mills thev must shut down or haul their loirs to l'ortland or nianilfacf tire. ' In (lie matter of freight rales, l'ortland has succeeded n securing rates so tlisci iniinatorv against cverv ot her cit v in the state Ihat she has succeeded in throttlinir their rowth and stifling their development, with the inevitable result t liar her own in-owm lias .After such a hoggish policv, it is a relief to see that in the single matter of good roads, l'ortland has broadened out to metropolitan proportions. Slit! has consented to lation of expenditure from the proposed .(!,()()(),()( )0 road bond issue, which will be icenses, and although a great share of the burden will be ionic by Forlland, none of the road bond money is to be expended in Alullnoniah conntv. A similar liberal policy followed in industry and in freight rates would so develop Oregon that' Portland would short Iv double in size. " ' UNITED BY Til' charge was recently made in congress and repealed in peace-at-any-price meetings that the newspapers of the' United States were in a conspiracy to force this country into war wilh (ieriuany. It was asserted that -j. r. -Morgan iv v o imanciai organized ami financed the conspiracy in the interest ol the allies and munition makers of America. Xo proof w;ts offered, except the unanimity of tin press in supporting the president in breaking diplomat h relations with Oerinany. Of the charge hut airs tlie chagrin Jvuly in tlie war, (lerman sympathizers made similar charges. Fecanse the viewpoint of the lail T.ribune was different from that of many of its readers, some of them alleged it was in the pay of Britain. Such charges are characteristic of small ami venal minds who accuse those who differ from them of being corrupt, and their frequeiicy are parr ol Hie penally mulcted upon editors lor honest aggressiveness. , There must be a good reason for the unanimity of sen timent on the part of the newspaper editors of America in supporting the president. Only a few months ago more than half were doing I heir utmost to defeat him for re election. F.iil the national crisis finds them united iu sup- i 1 1 ...:.t i: . . .

Newspaper editors are, from Hie nature of their work, gal he ring, (list ill ml ing. interpret ing the news of the world, specialists in current history. Thev do not interpret alike and have different mental at I it tales and different selfish interests and different prejudices, as oihcrs do. but tht very fact that they have, renders it impossible to unite litem by corruption. Do the peace-at -anv-prico editors arc crooks and traitors, because thev have been broad enough to lorgct their prejudices when the welfai't of the nation and of every one iu it is at stake.' Such ai interpretation is preposterous. No newspaper is urging war with (Ieriuany.

Heir Pokker, the builder of one of the most successful military flylnt; machines used in tho Herman and Austrian armies, predicts an era of aerial passenKer traffic alter the war. Speed, he says, is hound to niako aircraft a popular vehicle of travel, but only for great distances, for which reason the inventor pre dicts the successful operation of air cruft on route between Kurope and tho rnitod Suites, which will run competition with trans-Atlantic liners. IHerr I'okker believes the first at tempt lo fly from Kurope to .New York will he made immediately after the war and asserts the route can be travelled in two days at the outside, lie Is of the opinion that all technical handicaps will he easily overcome. Jlerr Kokker was a Dutch pilot who built a monoplane without the warp ing wing device. The machine was difficult to handle and Kokker was ordered by the Dutch military au-M thorities to abandon this model. He then ort'ored it to the British flying service, but It was refused on the ground that it was not practical. Kok ker later carried out successful lqop ing flights on a monoplane with a modified chassis. During the war be developed this later typo and supplied large numbers of monoplanes and of biplanes with similar bodies to the Prussian, Ilavnrian and Austrian armies. Last year, Kokker, while at his factory nnd aerodroino ut Scliwerin was visited by the grand duke of Jlecklenburg-Schwerln, who presented to the Inventor the war cross.
