. DAILY OATI TAJi JOUBNAI., SALEM, OREGON, SATURDAY, 3LUICH 30, 1007- o -f rt 1 f" ! ii N I let!. mw YORK LETTER Now York, March 30. Tho mout significant ovcnt of last week wns tho announcement by, tho J3rlo railroad that tho Important improvements It had entered upon, Involving a now oulranco and torminul In Jorsoy City, and estimated to coat all told over 120,000,000 nro to bo abandoned, nt least for tho tlnio being. This Is calculated to mnko tho most rockloss nnd thoughtless mnn to stop and think for a whllo whothor tho wild work with railroads is to continue or not. Tho ohlof troublo with tho Brio fact is that It Is not nlono, hut bo Jongs to n class. Thoro Is seldom a day pnHscs without soino rnllrond announcing that It Is hauling in, In fltend of oxpundlng; that operations that wero to cost millions, and tho money for which was nt hnnd, nro now put on tho shelf, becauso tho inonoy ennnot bo got to push thorn through. Tho rnllronds hnvo been linrd hit in tholr crodlt, tholr busi ness, nnd in tholr standing, 'and tho public will Boon find thnt Its tlmo to suffer is fast approaching. Whon a railroad stops a big Improvement, It menns that millions of money that would hnvo boon spent will now Ho dorinnnt, consequently thcro will bo no much Icbb to float nmong tho peo ple, frucltfylng tho labor market, nnd following that, freshening up nil lines of trndo, nnd putting tho mnrkot in its fluonl condition. AVo hnvo boon doolnrod to hnvo boon on joying nn unpracudentod dogruo of prosperity, but n ohaok has como to It. Tho hnrunt-Hcnriim crowd hnvo had tholr panjandrum, and now tho public can proparo to pay for It. It lias takon 70 yours to build up tho railroad system; It has takon only a fow mouths to bring It to tho edge of ruin, and common pooplo hnvo boon thinking that all that would hnppon would bo ehaapor rat oh, and loss coHt to thoinsolvos; but soon thoy will find that business lias dulled down, nnd that thoro Is loss money HBtlr, and that thoy aro getting loss than thoy woro getting, of whnt Is nllont. It Is tlmo that thoro wax. a let-up on tho rallroadH, If it Is not nl ready too lute. A bravo effort ha certainly to bit made to stay tho de struction, and nlas, tho inun who can best mnko It aro dlicrodltod, and do prlvod of the power thoy oncio pos nosHod to tromjithon tho business nud uyMtetu.

Tho rush towards subways hns In oioauHl, and th day n dull ouo oa whloh tha psopio of tho city do not hear of a now nno. Already thu number projected, or lrcidy built Iim got beyond tho mutuary of u ordinary citizen, and tho cry is, still they come. Well, thoy nro expected to bring prospcclty to wngo-enrners especially. It Is estimated that Now York wage-earners will save $2G, 000,000 n year by means of tho rapid transit subways which aro to bo open ed noxt Bummer, Tho totals repre sent only tho Baving in rent, carfnro and tlmo. Thoy will save much more In tho matter of health, and in gen oral poaco of mind. Another gain will rosult from tho increased busi ness that can bo transacted by quick er communication botwoon all parts of tho metropolis. Thousands of per sons will ge nblo to do moro busi ness in tho snmo time. Thoy will make moro monoy. Thou monoy will clrculnto moro rapidly, and gonornl buslnoss will bo stimulated. Suoh savings, in tho abstract, cannot bo etlmnted, oven approximately. It Is known In gonornl, howovor, that tho total must bo many millions n yonr. Itoalty exports estimate that the 500,000 persons who will louvo Man hattan flats this year will bo divided as follews: Two hundred nud fifty thousand to Now Jorsoy; 150,000 to Brooklyn, 100,000 to Queens. Tho general readjustment will glvo 35, 000 to tho North Bronx, AVostchoster and gtalon Island, part of which will como from Increaso of populntlon. How tho panic In tho stock mnrket nffected tho young rich pcoplo of Now York city Is llluslrntod by tho reports from tho nutomobllo mnrkot. It haB boon Btntcd that In ono dny one pfomlnont manufacturing firm of nutomobllos in this city received can cellations of no loss thnn 37 sales of high class machines. Othors woro not bo oiiBlly henrd from, but the cnncollntlons nro said to havo boon numerous In tho oxtremo. This shows that tho young bloods of mil lions who nro following tholr fathers In following tha mnrkot, nro not so successful. It has bean said that a group of young millionaires was slaughtered out of $20,000,000 of solid cash In tho panic dnys when tho stocks slid down the scnlo Ilka groused plgx In n slnuxhtsr house. Twenty millions would pay fur n great many nutomobllos and not hnv Ing Iooho chaugo to thnt amount, In tholr pockets, the young follows nro forcod to deny thomsulveu luxuries, of which an unto Is chlof, nnd tho moHt wasteful and coHtly. Hut so far tho bwoIIs invo kept up tholr costly stylo of olothos, and Fifth nveuuo is sun rnuiaui wuu inoir j frequent bright nud stunning raiment. Information about tho mosqultoos of Now Jersey Is always rocolvud In New York olty with great lutorast. The mosqultoee, though born nnd broil In New Jersey, como ovor to New York quite readily, and It Is n fart thnt New Yorkers living In New Jersey last season escaped any trouble from mosquitoes, except at Intervals, while thoy encountered litem as soon n they took the ferry boats on the New York side of the river. It Is therefore a matter of routratulation for them to learn Uiat John U. Smith, state entomologist of New Jersey, believes he has solved the mosquito problem for the Kack sHSMrk Meadows. Ills plan Is cheap at any rate, nod Involves no bad smells. He Is a r ranging for a net work of tren cli es aud lateral ditches, the farmer two feet wide and 3d inches deep, the latter ten inohes wide aud not deeper thnn n epsclAlly constructed plow can furrow. There will be 10 miles of these trenches and dltohea. Through them tides will swoop, and the theory Is thai mosquito larvae will be carried off, destroyed or eateru by fishes. The expense will be lees than M0B8. UrouklyH and Long Island will watch this experiment with Interest, for those sections have been mulcted h badly with the pestiferous Iwseet that they have acquired as Iwd h reputation as New Jersey hnd. Much us been done In h more expensive way to mitigate the mosquito hhIs tutee.
