DAILY OAPI TAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 0, 1008 f tii TELECONI SECRET OF LIFE SAYS DR. LARSON 1'coplo Wlio Laughed nt Juries Aus tin IirM" ns n " 1'ivu liurs Ago Sow Admit He Was Just that Jfcmy Years Ahead of tlieIlmcs. Portland, Ore., July C "What Is Teleconl?" The nuery was propounded to TM AuBtln Larson, the originator of the science of vibration, which be t,fl clven the name Teleconl, ana ,r which ho has effected cures in Tacoran, Seattle, Vancouver, D. C, Portland and elsewhere that have .orHnit ninny and cauped medical men to ask: What is it this man poBscsses that accomplishes what medicines fall to accomplish? Mr. Larson was busily engaged in put ting his uffnlrs In shape for his visit to Snlem. where he will be located at the Willamette hotel for a Urn, but stopped long enough to respend: "Teleconl Ih Life." "Yes," said Mr. Larson, "teleconl Is the secret of life." Asked to bo moro definite, Mr. Larson centinued: "Teleconl Is vibration vibration ! the life. There Is vibration every where. It anplies to in fact is wireless telegraphy. It Is the basis of nhotoKranhy. Vibration governs our hearing. Tho vlbrationB strlko the eardrum and we hear. Music Is vlbrntlon. Tune to violins to the same nltch: hang one on the wall and strike a note on tho other. Tho one on tho wall will respond. Cover tho wnlls with violins tuned nt the tame pitch and tho sound will bo dcafnenlng. Science Yields a Point. "Science begins to yield to elec tricity vlbrntlon tho credit to which It Is ontltlod. What was ont.e recardeJ as n vagary Ib fast becom ing a recognized fact. Fifteen years ago," said Mr. Larson, "a man who would havo told of tho possibilities of wireless telegraphy would have been pronounced crazy. Now the newspapers aro filled with reports of the achievements of tho wireless. Messages are sent hundreds of miles' and there is no longer room for skepticism on tho subject. Mental Telepathy. "Mental telepathy," continued Mr. Larson, "once scoffed at, Is now an established fact. It Is not gainsaid by any Intelligent person. When ever the human body censes to send forth or receive vibrations, It U dead. It hns gono back to tho orig inal dust or clay. Vibration bus ceased and tho human being has passed nwny never to return In hu man form. "The 6lck person getting back health Is merely having restored healthy .vibrations. Eliminate tho vibrations nnd tho world would be o dead plnnt. ' Wiiutfl Only Credit Due. I am taking no especial credit for what I have accomplished with Tel ecom," said Mr. Larson. "I wus merely certain that I could apply to the human body what others had applied to mechanics. Marconi harnessed vibrations and perfected the wireless telegraph. Ben Frank- Hn discovered vibrations of electrici ty in tho air and learned how to utilize ,them. Thomas A. Edison, the master mind, applied the science of vibration to light and power. He established a new era in his part! cu'ar field and accomplished woe ders that the average mind deemed Incapable of accomplishment. Teleeonl's Special Field. Telecon," concluded Mr. Larson, "finds Its Bpeclal field In constipa tion. It is this dread ailment that l the cause of nine-tenths of the com plaints human flesh is heir to. There Is nothing miraculous In cures ef fected by the treatment. There 't nob'ng supernatural nothing to cenreal Teleconl Is the developed science of vibration, and that It will cure the ills It is promised to cure Is established by actual results. Teleconl is most effective in rheumatism, nervousness, paralyse, a 1 stomach troubles, In fact, In many cf tho ailments to which flesh Is heir including that much-abused and mistaken disease appendicitis." - o Thera la a lmttin nn over the in junction plank at Denver.

RAILROAD COMMISSION HAS TASK TO DETERMINE PHYSICAL VAL UATION OF RAILROAD PROP ERTY IN THIS STATE FOR PUR POSE OF TAXATION. One of the facts that Is Btarlng tho peonle of Oregon In the fnco In while Washington has 1000 miles of Bteam railroad under construction, not n. mile In hnlncr Imllt. liv ilm TInr. Viman system in this Btate, the werl: that was begun on the Drain and Coos Bay line hns been entirely stopped and the steel rails hauled away. That the Harriman system has been treated .liberally and fairly by the people of Oregon Is shown by the light taxation of those properties that hfi3 prevailed. But even that Is changing, ns In the past seven years valuations of farm lands have been increased nboilt 300 per cent, while railroad property Is assessed six tlme3 as high as it was seven years ago. To get at the true valuation of tho railroads of the state, and also to ascertain tho true valuation of their lands and stumpnge and put them on the assessment rolls is n ta-k now undertaken by the peo ple of this state. It is believed to bo a fact that tho Harriman lines in Oregon ea.n moro money thnn in nny other Btate in tho Union, nnd the people want to know why not a mile of new con struction 1b undertnkpn by the sys tem that has a practical monoply of trnnBportalon in Oregon? Conservative men fear If thcro 'b not moro of a policy of reciprocity shown by Harriman towards Oregt thcro will be radical legislation If not confiscation ns far na tho courts will permit. At any rnto tho farmer and merchant who is assessed on the full cash value of his land and mer chandise will not stand to havo rail road property assessed at one-halt Its true value, and at tii same tlmo hnve tho great railroad Kings ikuk none of tho burdens of developing tho neglected areas of this Btate. The convention that hns been called at Coob Bay in August will ask for a showdown nnd renew tha bnttlo for a Bqunro denl for Oregon. A Salem special to tho Portland Journal has this to say: Tho Oregon rnllrond commission hns undertaken tho gigantic task of determining tho physical valuation of all tho railroad lines In this state. Only four Btates TexaB, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Washington havo so far accomplished It, but nearly all aro coming to the conclusion that It must be accomplished before tho rallroadB can be fairly dealt with in exorcising tho rate-making power. The supreme court of the United States has determined that the rall roadB aro entitled to enrn a fair profit on the'r Investment. Tho nroblem Is. however, how these In vestments are to bo determined. In tho case of Smythe V. AmeB the su preme court endeavored to lay down what must be considered in making nn estimation of the valuation of a railroad. "In order to ascertain that value," says the court, "the original cost of ponstruotlon. the amount expended in vpermanent 'improvement's, the amount and market value or ub bonds and stockB, the present nB compared with the original cost of construction, the probable earning capacity of- tho property under par ticular rate3 prescribed by Btatute, the gum required to meet the operat ing expenses, are all matters for con sideration and are to be given such weight as may be Just and right In each case." The cost to the Washington staie commission wa3 approximately $50,- 000, The work has Just been com pleted under the supervision of in expert who was paid' an enormous price for his services. The result Is regarded as quite satisfactory and the work will be a foundation and a guide for the Oregon commission to follow. in states where the physical char octerlstlcs are similar to those In Oregon and Washington, the task of determining railroad work was comparatively eay. It Is a state of prarles and plains. In Oregon tho mountainous topography renders It necessary to determine each mile separately. For example the cost to tlio Northern Pacific in building Us roads over the mountains from Seattle to Spokane was $300,000, a coei far In excess of the engineers' ciimntoB Th tirade varied and' vfere in no place the same. The Oregon commission has adopt ed tho method followed by Wiscon sin. rThe railroads will be. askej to furnish the Information and it will be checked over by the commission, It is less expensive than the Wash ington method, which wns nn orig inal research of the records Jn tht. railroad ofTlces and v a measure of every foot of railroad In the state. Some progress hn' already been made. Tho railroads have submitted the original cost of constructing tho Umatilla & 'Central' and Columbia Southern branches of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation company nnd also the estimated cost of recon structing .tfiose roads, at this tlmo, These figures, however, nre far from the actual value of the roads nnd nil those stopB must be taken that weie laid down by the United States su preme court. The rnllnoads nre no longer re sisting the efforts of stnto commis sions and toward the latter part or tho investigation in Washington they gave considerable assistance to the commission. In Oregon they nre furnishing tho figures v6ry grac iously and employ their own oflVo force to seek them out. MUST RELIEVE IT When Well-Known Snlem People Tell It So Plainly.

Congress man Hawloy speaks on tho 27th on "Religion and Public Life." f1 7j Tho Pie. of Merry New England. In delivering ourselves the other day of a thoughtful essay upon the coincidence of the decay of Puritan ism, and pie we may have been mis understood, for what we designed to call attention to was a falling off in the quantity not the quality, of pie consumed in New England. The pie of merry New England still holds Its primacy; it still has its Phldiases, Its supreme artists, who appeal to the palate and peristalsis of their countrymen. It is for these great artists, and they aro JargelyPurltan es'.es, to say tho first and last wor 1 on plo; the mere outsider may in dulge In the piffle of pleana, may even carp in criticism and comment of the bonne bouche, under certain conditions, but when the art of the master 13 discussed with flippancy, when the supremacy of the work is questioned, when primacy and su premacy are claimed for the infer ior products of inferior regions anJ races, a Bhocked community rises In Indignation to protest against a Philistinism which Is perilously clos to sacrilege. The Sun has been put ting on airs about pie and its lore; It shoiiltt pwt them off at once; 11 as- vim J. L STOCKTON .

Plo Is tho pabulum of tho Purl tan brain; that it appeals to tho pal ate is a mere detail; that it feeds dyspepsia and fosters indigestion is merely a coincidence. Linked as it has been with the Puritanism, prag matism and poetry of New 'England for ngee, pie has attained an nlmoat sacrosanct station in the affections of the people; and who shall pull It down? We have noted with sur prise and indignation the efforts of tho Sun to dethrone plo, to speak of it lightly and irreverntly; wo have watched Its Insidious efforts to boost tho plo of Vlrglnan and to reach the polar plexus of Yankee pie and pride by satire nnd scoff; and of into, rec ognizing the futility of trying to turn the great heart and appetite of America from pie, It has sought to erect Itself Into a Bupremo court on all questions of pie. The march of time, the changing Interests of tho ago, the shifting of the center of population, tho growth of' the "West and the coming of now peoples, havo threatened nnd weak ened the supremacy of Now England In many ways. Tho poets and pub lishers havo gone to New York, tho South stretches a greedy hand for our calicoes, while Ohio rsaches for our leathers and our; shoos; the bloodroot of Chicago challenges tho sarsnparllla of Lowell, and the plas ters of Terre Haute rival the pills of Lynn and Lydla; but In one grent department of human activity Now England Is still supreme, even though her sway and primacy may be questioned by envious rivals Pie. We tell this to tho Sun more in orrow than In anger, with tho hope that It will ceasa Ub assaults on a historic and honored Institution, and that If It must ndd to Its lltor aty lure the department of pleology It will come to New England for !t- pleographers.
