TELECONI
SECRET
OF LIFE
SAYS DR. LARSON
1'coplo Wlio Laughed nt Juries Aus

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."

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.

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-

Bumes too much; It is getting on dan
gerous ground, Into a field of know
ledge nnd art In which it is nlion;
It should recognize its limitations
and not bring grief to a proud and
pie fed people.
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

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
