For a railroad into Tillamook, citi sens of that county have all but sub scribed a $35,000 subsidy and a long promised and much desired project seems in fair way of achievement. Il the Killingsworth car-exchange bill has helped the project along, well ami good 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 fornia had waited until those enter prises should pay, most of Oregon would yet be a wilderness. Perhaps alter the Tillamook road shall have been built, its absorption bv the Soul hern Pacific will be d« emed 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.— ()rrgonian. 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 do this during his present administration 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 from tin* administration if they are to and to lie violating the law. 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 dent in a sen.se and is generally discreet enough to try and “ make sure ” befoie hr invests in any business that will pro­ j vide meansol substance f.»r any number | | 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.
