acknowledged their iudebtedmss to
Mr. Smith for his aid iu that enter

has taken a prominent part. He at
tended the National Irriagtiou Con
gress at Ogdeu, Utah, and at Kl 1'bso,
Tex., and was chosen, along with Gov
ernor Pardee, of California, Uovjruor

Mr. Smith was one of the McKiuley
Presidential Electors in 18'. Hi, and in
the campaign made a speaking tour
through the counties of Josephine,
Douglas, UniHtilla, Union, Sherman

Underctandlng that the spirit of the

into no combination aud has solicited
110 man's support iu advance of the

his re lunation as president of the
State Hoard of Horticulture and of
tho State Development League without
delay and trusts that bis example will

Delays In Kate Declslens.
From an address by Samuel Sp-ncer
bclore the City Board of Trade of . New
ark, N. J.
"It has la-en claimed from ntauy
sources, some high in authority, that
the necessfty for expediting decisions in
case of complaints to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, constitutes one
1 f the chief reasons for additional leg
islation granting to the Commission the
power to revise and name rates and
innke them effective, prior to review by
court. This view is founded apparently
upon lack of information as to where de
lays have ocrured or a misapprehension
aa to their causes.
lie chief delays complained of have
been undoubtedly with the Commission
and not with the courts The Coiimiis.
sion tin a presented to it in eighteen
years about 4,000 complaints, many re
iiirirg prolonged investigations and
hearings, and in addition to the time
consumed thereby much additional
time must have been requ red to dis
pose of the 3,200 complaints In whicn
there were no lornial hearings and no
record, lu tbe same period United
States courts, with twenty-niuie Circuit
Judges and seventy-eight District
Judges, have been required to review
but fourty-tjve cases.
"Tne Commission has rendered two
hundred and nineiy-Beven formal de
cisions. The Unhed States courts
have llnally decided thirty-four. T e
Commission ban pending before it In
the neigh boorhood of seventy cases, and
the courts had pending at the date of
the Commission's Inst report, five cases
for the enforcement of the Commission's
orders. It has never been claimed that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has not been fully employed. It can't
be claimed from this record that the
court dockets have been clogged by
cases arising under the Interstate Com
merce Act.
"It is not difficult from this to draw
fairly accurate conclusions as to where
delays are likely to have occiirrrd, or
is to what would be the result in point
of delay if power should be granted to
the Coin mission to prescribe and make
effective future rates even upon com
plaint and bearing only."
Xew Machinery for the ol I Bun.
S. H. Cox returned from Portland
last week, where he repoits that tbe
Gold Kun Mining Co. have purchased
X) worth of machinery for their
mine near Cape Horn, and are busy
installing it The machinery consists
of air copmresHor, drills, etc. Tbe
water power at tbe mine a sufficient
for all the power that they will want
for some time, and considerable ma
chinery can be added without look
ing elsewhere for power. This is a
big item, and will belp to swell the
dividends.
The day before tbe stock was in
creased to '25 cents per share, Mr.
Cox sold over 11100 worth, which gave
tbe company sufficient money to pay
for the new improvements.
