For a railroad into Tillamook, citi

Harriman interests profess desire to
build the Tillamook road as soon as
convinced it will pay.
But very few roads have been built
that wav in Oregon—indeed, not more
than one or two. it the promoters of
the O. R. & N. ami the Oregon & Cali

prises should pay, most of Oregon
would yet be a wilderness.
Perhaps alter the Tillamook road

advisable by Mr. Harriman. It so, Ore
gon will be a gainer from independent
enterprise ai.fl Mr. Harriman’s in
terests will profit also. Independent
railroad projects have accomplished
much for Oregon—in fact, they have
been Oregon’s chief means of railroad
progress from early days until the pre
sent hour, and owing to the policy ol
Harriman interests in this state may
be the chief means in fiqure.
The Klickitat road, built by Portland
capital as an independent project, has
opened a district in Washington and
connected it commercially with Port-
land. It has been absorbed li v one of
the great railroad interests. If Port-
land capitalists had waited tor the
Northern Pacific or the 0. *R. & N. to
build the road, would the w histles of
locomotives now be heard in Golden-
dale ? Perhaps not ; probably not.—

Laws
Will be Enforced.
Every report coming from Washing
ton gives assurance ot the firm determin
ation of the administration to enforce
the laws and punish any who violate
them. The course taken in regard to the
members of the beef combine who are
alleged to have disregarded the injunc
tion of the federal court at Chicago, sus
tained by the supreme court of the
United States, is a notable evidence of
the ourpose of the federal authorities to
see that the law as defined «by the judi
cial tribunals shall he fully carried out
and no favors shown. It is jet to be de
termined, of course, whether or not the
persons affected by the injunction in the
beef trustcase have disobeyed the court's
injunction, but there is said to be ample
evidence against them, secured by agents,
and if such is (he case it is not to
be doubted that the parties will be pun
islied as the law provides. They may
not be criminally prosecuted, though
possibly they are liable to this, but they
can at least be punished tor contempt of
court.
In regard to the Standard Oil investi
gation, interest in which is growing
space, every report coming from Wash
ington, is t hat the president is taking a
most earnest interest in the matter and
will spare no effort to have the inquiry
prosecuted as thoroughly as possible. It
is understood that Commissioner Gar-
field of the bureau of corporations will
by direction of the president go to Kan-
sm to conduct the investigation in that
field and he is said to have all the a u
thority necessary to enable him to probe
tile situation there to the bottom. So
general and intense lias become the feel
ing respecting the investigation of the
Oil trust that the Government is assured
of all possible assistance from the public
in carrying on the inquiry, which as
heretofore noted will not lie confined to
Kansas, but will embrace several other
states where it is alleged the Standard
Oil company has been unlawfully operat-
mg.
What these movements on the part of
the administration mean is that the law
relating tocombinationsengaged iticoiu-
inerce among the states ami with foreign
nations are to be enforced that there is
no longer to lie a truce between the gov
eminent , and the so called trusts, by
which the latter will be enabled to go on
fleecing the public and iucrcasioii their
p< wer for mischief President Roosevelt
has declared a “square deal’* policy
which he intends to persistently and
constantly pursue and he w ill probably

even more vigorously than lie has al
ready done, The combination* amena-
ble to the anti trust law should under-
stand that they can exftect no favors

How to Thrive Locally.
Corvallis Gaicttc publishes the fol-
lowing editonallv.
It is a well timed
article, ami very appropriate :
1 he question, ‘ \\ hat is necessary
to make a town or communitv thrive ?’
is of % ital importance and one often in
the minds ol the thinking citiiens. Many
things accrue to the benefit of a people
lhe most essential thing is a good pa*
roll Without this there is no hie. and
ol course without lite the town is dead
so to speak. But how to secure a pa*
roll ?
” It is patent that the poor man—
the laborer-—cannot l»e expected to
create a pay roll. So we must look
to the rich and fairly well-to-do man tor »
this creation. But there is the sticking
point. Such a man is already indepen- I

enough to try and “ make sure ” befoie

ol people. He must exercise good judg
ment in determining what is a proper
business in which to engage. Must con
sider the country, its products, and coni
inuiiity, less needs.
" Having determined all this, he next
gives attention to the temper of his
fellow men. Here his heart may fail
him, lor lew, if any will ' patronize home
industry ' if the home manufactured
article can be secured for a few cents
elsewhere.
“ This sort of thing is what is retard
ing the growth of Oregon, and all of the
small town, Corvallis among the rest.
And the people are to blame. Never a
week passes that orders do not go from
this city to some other place for some
thing that could have been secured here.
In purchasing at home you may pay
out a few cents more for a given thing,
• »lit your money is here. Its presence is
necessary to the life of I he place in which
you reside. You lock to your home
town to supply you a living—you owe it
something. In a degree the possibility
of creating a pav roll is in your own
hands, be you rich or poor.”
A Reciprocity Experiment.
Beyond any other seperate govern
ment in history, Cuba has received
favors at the hands of the United States.
This country liberated the island bv force
of arms and paid the cost of the war.
When hostilities ended, Cuba, after a
short period of probation, was allowed
to set up a government of its own, and
one entirely free from debt. The Cuban
soldiers, who were largely invisible when
our troops landed, have received for
their services the proceeds of the first
Cuban loan, amounting to $35,000,000,
and have made a further claim of $28,.
500,000. A reciprocity treatv with Cuba
has been put in operation, and the island
gets much the best of that bargain also.
As soon as the treaty was assured, Cuba
advanced its tariff rates, which was
quite a surprise to the Congress and
people of the United States. The old
definatiou of gratitude as a lively sense
of favors to come held good in this case.
A glance at the trade figures of 1904
shows Cuba still to be one of the most
favored of governments. Its exports to
the United States last year were $74,-
000,000, an increase of $17,000,000
over either of the two proceeding years
Nearly everything that Cuba exported
came to this country. The United States
sold to Cuba $32,000,000, an increase
of $9,000,000. But the loss to the Unit,
ed States in revenue, through the recip-
ricity treaty, more than equal the in
crease in our exports to Culm. More
over, Cuba’s imports from other coun
tries increased in a larger percentage
than her imports from the United
States. With the revenue of this country
running behind expenditures, this little
memorandum of the results of sentimen
tal statesmenship is instructive, and it
also throws light on the practical work
ings of that what-is-it, reciprocity.
Cost of Producing Milk.
At a number of experiment stations re
cords were kept to determine the cost of
producing milk. At four of the stations
it cost 55 cents to produce 100 pounds.
This made the cost of one pound of
blitter fat 13.3 cents. Milk was pro
duced at the lowest cost during the sum
mer, and at the highest during winter.
I’his tact, however, doesnot preclude the
operation of another fact, and that is,
that with the right kind of cows, the
winter production of milk is consider
ably the most profitable. This is due
to the higher price for the product, and
the larger feeding value of the skim milk,
particularly if fed to calves.
A calf dropped in October or Novem
ber. ami ted warm, fresh skim milk from
the separator, with addition, daily, of a
spoonful of blood meal, a pint of oats
and a little alfalfa hav, will make a much
belter grow th in 2(H) days, than if bom
in the spring. This is due very largely
to six months’ exemption from the tor
ment of Hies. It should he added that
the calf must be kept perfectly drv, clean
and comfortable, which is not a hard or
expensive thing to do, under the right
method. All this adds much to the
value of winter milk.—Hoard's Dairy
man.
