How to do away with railroad traffic could bo handled for. Then
monopoly 13 the question of the ' wo would find out what It was worth

Tim nresent day civilization must soy to Portland; then wo would find
have railroads as we have got used out w,int 't was worth to haul a
to them and could not sot along i mn f'" Eugene to Portland, antii
without their Bervlccs. But many , " ennnces are unit it would not bo
think that they could do business over 50 cents.
tiio A. & C. Railway carried pas
sengers from Portland to Astoria for
25 cents, and made money at cent
lior mllo rntp and kept It up for two
years.
When the people onco grasp this
simple plan and commence to put It
Into practice, then railway ownership
of government will ho n thtifg of the
past ns the railways will then go out
of politics and then men will he free
to do business without the fear of
somo trust crushing them.
As tho rnllwnyu aro now managed,
they nro IbIuimoIUos ns their hand
without tho railway nouses, nnu
every man. woman and child knows
wo hnvo railroad abuses so we do
not have to write on them. What wo
want to know Is how to set rid of
tho abuses and bnd services or tho
lack of service
There was a nay wuuu wo nnu

kind that a progressive people de
mand Hallways should serve the
'peoph', hut tho monoply makes tlio
people servo tho railways, and tho
' railway managers think that tho
people's only exctiso for living Is to
servo them.
What tho state of Oroson needs
! la a competing rallwny and tho only
i way to ret It Is for tho Btatu to build
i a good double track road bed from
Portland to Ashland and throw It
open as a tool road. Lot any com

'who will run tliem on schedule time
and give the rlyht of way to thoso
I trains which carry freight nnd pns-
Isengers for tne leant money.
Tho state would have tho train

tors and station agents and all
trains would be subject to tho train
despateher when on tho rjpnd: Let
' the state do tills und then wo would
.have n genuine competing railway.
Trains would compoto over tho same
tracks Inst ns the steamboats do on

This principal Is In tho hands of
any state In the union and can be ap
plied to tho railways'by any stnto,
and 1 olalni It is tho only way to

The objoctlon to this Is that It is

HEARD
. AGAIN
Astenishing: Demonstration is
Made By Cooper in St.
Louis
St. Louis, Jan. l). On Wednesday
afternoon somo remarkable ronion
startions wore given In public of T
L. Coopor, or the "GreaUCoopor," ns
he Is called, who is Introducing for
the first time In St. Louis tho prepa
ration which created a sensation in
eastern cities.
Tlio demonstrations took place at
Mr. Cooper's headquarters" and were
wltnossod by Bovouil hundred pooplo.
As nearly nk could bo learned tho
facts wore these:
At 3 o'clock In tho afternoon tho
yqung man agreed to show what ono
of his remedies would do for deaf
noss, nnd agreed to make any' ono
prosent who was adllctod with deaf
ness hear again In less thnn throo
minutes.
Thero woro many donf pooplo
present and about a dozen of these
were given tho-demonstration,, con
slsltlng of a single application of one
of tho Coopor propnrntionB.
The henrlng of thoso people was
then tested nfter an Interval or h'o
tweon two and throo mlnutos. Tho
test consisted of questions put to
them In an ordinary conversational
tone at dlstnnoos varying from five
to atrfeet.
T;ie results woro roniarkahle in the
extreme. Somo of thoso puoylo. who
woro- treat ell had boon donf for a
number or years, wiion tho first
question was asked u look of nmnzo
nient would sproad ovor their faces
and they would fogot to answor the
question. As tho questions wero re
pented tho surprised ook would glvo
way to ono of dollght. Many wore
so nffoctod that thoy hurst Into tears
and woro scarcely nblo to answer
tho question. .
In no single Instanco, bo far us
could bo learned would an Idlvldual
rail to hear. Many woro ablo to hear
a linger Hnnp at a distance of 30
feet. At tho roquost or .Mr. Cooper
questions were put to them by their
frIeivl8,or by various spectators In
an ordinary tono of voice nnd tho
quoHtlons woro rondlly nnswored.
In giving nn account or these
demonstrations, Mr.. Coopor said:
"Tho propagation used In not the

and to which I owo my success is for

"Tho stomach is tfc sent or a groat

Many pooplo soon who wore pres
