Tho Willamette Development leufguo starids pledgnd to a square leal for all Oregon, especially the greitt undevol- oped' interior and the undeveloped west coatl and its harbors. It is an undc niablo fact that Oregom at best can get only a ccirtain amount of appropri ations, arid if tho interior and the west coasb committees do not bestir them- selves all tlio money appropriated' by congress will bo absorbed by tho im provement at the mouth of the Colum bia, by deepening its channel up to Portland, aiull by the projected1 im provements on the upper -Columbia, aud by ttho carml and locks at The Dalles. Let us bo fair about this and look tho fao.ta of tilio past squarely in the face, any wo will admit that not half onougb money can bo obtained1 for properly (taking caro of tho neds of the-Colum bia river ami its harbor at Astoria. Tho gneat fact -that stands out is that throo states aro properly chargeablo wih all appropriations for tho Colum bia a mil ItH hnrboTS, and' not Oregon alone. Portland has done nobly in sup porting tho work of the- port of Po't land commission, but the west coa&t harbors, tho Willannctto river and the locks at Oregon iCty aro entitled to just as much consideration as tho Co lumbia river if 'tho whole state is to bo developed. All Oregon; should unite for a square dul. Tho abandonment of Improvements at Yaquina Bay land tho pulling off of steamers from that port has cost tho producers and shippers of tho Willam ette valley hundreds of thousands, of dollars and retarded tho development of wYt)ern Oregon. A four-foot ehnn nel in tho Willamette rivor at least as far ni CorvnlHs tlie year around would mean saving of hundred's of thousands of dollars annually to tho farmers of .tho Willamette valley. Free locks at Orogon City would mean a net paving of $100,000 a yeaT to the farmers of this valley alone, and as much more tto the merchants ami ship pens in reduced freights. The openiug of Mich harbors w.s Tillamook, Sluslaw. WincluMter, Coquille, Weddorbum and Port Orford menus tho creating of new cities, new industries and' new centers of commerce and population. Making Coos Hay a deep ea harbor, with a transcontinental railroad irrto it, moans a compotitivu nwrket for tho wholo in terior of the tito, and new lifo for the mercantile and manufacturing in torcwtM of nil Oregon. Aro not theso things worth all niggling and organlzlnz fort INSURANCE RATES JUMP. TAKE BIO Tho eighty insurance companies rep resented on tho Board of Fire Under writers pf 'tho Pacific Coast havo taken hot lou to recoup thwuselves for their San, Fnnclsco laaos by raising the rates approximately 25 per cent, The states nffoctod aro California, Nevada Oregon, Idalio, Utah, Montana and Arizona. Tho state of Washington is tho only sttito outtjido th jurisilictlon of the board, Snvoral years ago this stato enacted a law kwown as tho anttcom pact law, prohibiting iaauranco com panies ftwm uniting la fixing ratos, or in any -way controlling insurance affairs. ' President) lluven said, Tho law does uot permit us to fix rates for the tato of Washington, but we aro charg ing them just tiho nanio," Tub is clear ovWonco that tho board members preeonted by agnta la Wash ington will exact tho Vabed pates there as iu other tMt. Now that Iho campaign , is over, would it not bo a good idea for Colonel Hofcr to renew his campaign in the stato for a grealter Oregon, an open Willamette river, a deep sea harbor, etc.? Thoie is much, work to bo ac complished along this lino, and with rropcr agitation somo good may bo ac complishekl in congress. Silvortonian Appeal. The campaign for development had to givo way for. the political campaign fir a few months, but development conventions aro slated as follews: Southorn Oregon Development league t Ashland, July 17. Forest Gove, first week in Septem ber. Salem during tho Stato Fair, second week !n September. Cottage Grove, first week in Novem ber. Zi-v will bo no lotting up on this campaign until western Oregon, east ern Oregon soutfoenn Oregon and all Oregon is ahead of any stato in the west in enterprise, in progress along nil lines, and until this stato haa the same population that any state of is sizo and) fertility of resources is enti tled to. There must bo largo cities built wlicro Salem and- Eugene now stand, and a lange city on a west coast harbor and another in tho Klamath country. Our senators and congress mri and stato officials must all become ai-ios in thia work, and tho people will not be satisfied with any listless, lack ada'n'cal, salary-drawing, stall-fed in difiVrcjitism on (their part, either. Columbia River Appropriations. Portland commercial bodies aro act- ivo in making demands for deepening tin. chancel of tho Columbia from Port land to the sea. A threo-staito develop ment league; haa been organized at Spokane to unito 'tho threo states of Ongon, Washington and Idaho to sc- eu", eppropriations for tho Columbia river find its hiarbor. Tho Starto De velopment League, of which Thco. Wilcri, of Portland, is president, has been called to meot) at Salem during tho Stato Fair, September 10-15. Deepening tno Columbia will un doubtedly be endorsed at tho meeting of the ttinte Development League to bo held at S.i'em. Tho Willamette Val loy Development Leaguo holds conven tions at Forest Grove in' September and Cottage Grove in November,, will not oppose Columbia riVer appropriations in fuct will favor them but will keep up !tr. fight for recognition fa Coos Bay and all tho west coast har bors and rivers and free locks at Oro gon City! O " IMPORTANT REPORT. Tho transportation committee of tho Portland chamber of commerco on Sat urday filed1 its report with that body on Wio open river situation. Tho re port discusses exhaustively tho condi tions as I hoy havo been, as they aro and as tbtfy should bo and shows by tolling- facts tho great great need for making and maintaining the upper Co lumbia availablo for steamboat traffic. It follows in sutrftnnco. "This committee is more convinced than over that if Portland is to be a groat) commercial seaport, of tlio in terior in to receivo tho benefits of rea sonable Tntes and to reach its proper development, it will be brought about only through a dcop sea and safe chan nel to tho sea, and tho opening to navi gation of tho waterways of the north west. Realizing theso conditions, this commlttoo, und thoaa acting with it, will not, cannot, censo their labors un til their hopes aro realized. Moreover, we feel tho pooplo should know the facts respecting tho work to bo done. When ithciy do know them and appre ciate tho importanco of the early com pletion of what this committee Is stnv ing for, then tboy will demand, as they havo tho right to, that tho money nee 4sary to completo tho work shall bo forthcoming. Now Keeping Up With Rivals. "No commerco is growing as is that of tho Pacific coast. Is our locality keoplng pace, with that of our rivals? ro vo in a. position to handle tho great ocean traffic which will cortainly follow tlto ojwning of the Tehauntepec railway and tbo 'building of tho Pna man ciural? Aro wo getting our right ful shaTO of tho Ahiska trade, that of tlio Hawaiian islands, tho Philippines, Ohina, Japan and other counrles?. WTe aro not, and tho Toason for it is plain. Today the largo steamer with great carrying capacity is used, because it must bo used, to carry freight cheaply on long voyages, and for these vessels to dock at our vharvfcs requires great or depth at the mouth of the Columbia. It may ba deemed unwise, possibly un patriotic, to say this, but it Is truo, and it is useless to conceal it, particularly whcrvi It) can bo remedied. lishos at tho request of County Super-1 intendent Bunch a communication fromf Stato Superintendent Ackerman. With all dkio respect to theso gentlo men aad with duo appreciation of tho groat Cnlifo:tnia losses, tho HaTbor begs to oxpress tho belief that Oregon should not bo eallod uponi to build Cal ifornia school houses Lot us take Coos county for example. Outsido of ithio towns thero is not a school houso in tho county worthy of tho name. In North Bend wo aTc straining every ncrvo to wovido school facilities. Our school building is unfinished and the needed bondls wero voted down. It will take long yoars to pay for thrt hnntfs alrcaidi vvotcd. Wo had to go around and bog small subscriptions to put tho grounds in prosentable shape. Wof need all "the inonoy wo can possibly raiso for our own schools. When ai man is drowning you are justified in' ovary exertion to save his lifo. When tho people of San Francis co wero in dire distress from tho earth quake Coos county contributed gener ously of all it had for -their bonefit. In tho final analysis when a man has nothing, whether ho was bona that way or whether ho hadl millions arid lost it by earthquake, both mood tho same charity. Tlio people of Orogon sltarted in with nothing. All they- had was their hands and they built their own school houses. California is just as ablo to build Its own school house as Oregon was.

Johnson & Q U ia tttaa fcy S aittH Kipling in London Again. Rudyard Kipling is back in England indulging his cleverly caustic wit at London banquets. At tho Academy dinner, which followed tho private view of thei May exhibition, speaking to tho toast of "Literature," he de clared that lieraturo had always stood ontsidij the law as the ono call ing that is absolutely free free in the sense that It needs no protection. And he illustra'e.l his point in this fashien: "For instance, when, as oc casionally happen?, a judge makes bad law, or a surgeon makes a bad oper ation, or -a manufacturer of food makes bad food, criticisms of their actions is by law and custom confinedito compar atively narrow limits. But if, as oc casionally happens, a man makes a bad book, thero is no limit to tho criti cism! that may bo directed against it. And it is perfectly as it should be. Tho world recognizes that little things like bad laws, bad surgery and' bad food, only affect the cheapest commode ity that wo know about human life." TheTo is a fine mixture of philosophy and satiro in this Boston Herald. O. A. R. RATES. Tho G. A. R. encampment will bo hold at Grants Pass June 20, 21 and 22.
