Tho people's friends, tho gas grafters
of Portland, in tho company of othor
franchise barons, on ono sido of their
fuco favor public control of the peo-
plo's utilities, and on the other keep
from tho public (as long as they can)
tho means of controlling thosos utili
ties.
They frame a charter for tho city
and withhold) from the public tho right
to regulato tho price 'and quality of
gas. They model this charter after
that of San Francisco, but lea,ve out
tho clauso, in the organic law of that
city, conferring this power.
Thoy also deny to tho public the
powor to regulate street-car fares,
when tho people's interest, in every
largo city, needs this right, too.
They capitalize tho franchises, thus
fortified, at prodigious sums of money,
compelling tho public to pay interest
and dividends not alono on tho legiti
mate value of physical properties, but
(and this is far more) and the Illegiti
mate valuo of watered stock for which
they paid nothing all this at the ex
penso of thoscs who burn gas or ride
on street-cars.
Tho promotors of these schemes to
rob tho peoplo nro among its "best
citizens." They nre men of "integ
rity" and "chnractor," "philanthrop
ic," "public-spirited," "progressive"
and! "highly respected." Thoy stand
for purity of life nnd honest govern
ment, and boost along reform of the
wicked. Tho purse-snntchor they help
send to jail, but they themselves, who
snatch franchises and rob tho public
though they brenk life's first precept,
the golden rule, aro held righteous.
Mr. J. N. Teal, defonder of tho gas
company beforo the investigating com
mltteo of tho city council, was ono. of
tho leading frnmers of the present city
charter. Ho says tho peoplo should
control tho gas service, but tho char
ter ho helpod to mako deprives thorn of
this privilege. Ho says tho gas com
pany is willing to sell to the people.
Certainly, but uot until paid a graft
price, from which Mr. Teal and Mr.
C. F. Adams would grab fat rakcffs,
as did tho mou who grabbed the fran
chises of tho consolidated street-car
company sold out to Philadelphia and
Now York capitalists. No wonder,
with such a big steal as this In viow,
tho gas owners would like to "sell out"
too,
Mr, A. L Mills, who was president
of the board of charter-makers, no
no doubt could explain why th charter
and franchises doprlve the public of the
right to regulato street-car fares. As
ono of the organizers of tho present
gas company, he might explain how
the stock of tho company was diluted
with water, on which the public Is ex
pected to pay "fair" dividends and
interest, beforo it can have lower gas
prices.
Tho tricks of tho franchise gang of
Portland are coming to light. They
havo not been understood by the pub
lic until tho host two or three ywrs.
Their doers havo used cleverly the
means of fraud to gall tha peopH i
of hypocrisy to mask the acts. Tbi

Why cannot all friend's meet) in the

No month seems to follow us through
tho rest of tho yoar with such iswcet

and so much of tho delicate aroma of
lifo and fcho rainbow hues in tha air
and sky. In this month tha earth in
Oregon g"ows warm, tho grasses dry
arid the forests become aromatic. We
scarcely know wh'ero day ends and
night begins. Tho birds surely foTget

A FINE SONNET.
Following beautiful sonnet appears
in the July Century magazine in mem-
ory of the late Senator Hoar, of Mas
sachusetts: ,
You of the spirit fresh with Mayflower
dew,
A Pilgrim Fathor faithful to the end
Stout-hearted foe and truest-hearted
friend,
Who never trimmed your sails to winds
that blow
With brcatho of popular favor, but
foro know
Storm followed sun, and, knowing,
did depend
On One behind all storm high aid to
lend
And from Heaven's fount nlono your
wisdom drew,
Fnrowell! In nil these illiterate later
days
Wo ill can sparo tho good gray heaH
'that woro
Tho honors of a nation. Faro you
welll
When Love and Justico climb the starry
ways,
And Freedom wins tho holght whoro
angels dwell,
They thcro shall find your presence
gone before.

Treating Wrong Disease.
Many traes womon call on their family
physicians, suffering, as thoy imaglno,
ono from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from llvor or kidney
dlsoaso, another from norvoiis oxliaustion
or prostration, another with pain hero and
thoro, and In this way thoy all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate ami distinct diseases, for which ho,
assumlilg them to bo such, prescribes his
pills and potion's. In reality, they aro all
only 8fmitom$ caused by some utorlne
dlsoaso. The physician. ignorant of tho
cause of sutferinuf. encourages this prac
tice until largo bills aro niacin. Tho suf
fering patlontgots no bottor, but probably
worse, by reason of tho doluy, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine liko Dr. Plorco's Fa
vorlto Prescription, directed to the cause
would havo entirely removed tho dlsoaso,
thereby dispelling all thoso distressing
symptoms, and Instituting comfort in
stead of prolonged misery. It has been
well said, that "a disease known Is half

A Pleasant Way to Travel.
Tho above is the usual verdict of
tho traveler using the Missouri Pacific
railway between tho Pacific coast and
the east, and we believe that the serv
ice and accommodations given merit
this statoment. From Denver, Colora
do Springs and Denver there are two
through trains daily to Kansas City
and St. Louis, carrying Pullman's lat
est standard electric-lighted sleeping
ears, chair care and up-to-dato dining
ears. The same excellent service if
operated from Kansas City and 8t
Louis to Memphis, Little Bock and Hot
Springs. If you are going east or
south, write for particulars and fall in
