About a month ago John F, Steevens of the Hill railroads made a thorough investigation of the Central Oregon line pro posed via the Deschutes canyon i toi Brothers wont Into the oanyon with construction crews and began to take posscsson and throw dirt. Next C, H. Carey, corporation counsel for the Hill system in Oregon, Introduced Mr. Steevens at a Commercial club dinner as owner of the Deschutes line. Then it Is publicly announced that J, J, Hill is backing the Porter Brothers in their fight for a foothold on the Deschutes as the entrance to the storehouses of wealth in Central Oregon. President A, L Mills of the Portland First National Bank is "more than glad that our prayers are finally to be answered." Mr. Mills is a praying man and has joined our class. Mr. Lang, president of Lang & Co., wholesale grocers, says! "A railroad into Central Oregon means $10 to Portland where $1 is received from the North Bank line." Portland budinoss men are awakening to the importance of the fight for ooomiifi up Central Oregon. So Tt may be set down as a fixed fact that a Hill line will pen etrate Central Oregon via the Desohutcs. This means that a bridge wM cross the Columbia at The Dalles. It moans tha: a big city will sp sing up at thai point, and on the Oregon side, The Dalles w'll becomo tlie gateway city to Central Oregon, and the point for trans-shipment of commerce of the upper and lower Columbia and the interior. Watch the development of power and the establishment of manufactures at the falls of the Columbia. As a creator of business a stimulator, of cities and an em pire builder, Hill is the unrivalled king among railroad mag nates. The Inland Empire has waited long for its king. The coming of Hill Into the Oregon field for development means the establishment of another big city on the Columbia, It means death now and destruction forever to monopolies that have kept the great undeveloped interior from coming to its own for twenty years oast. It will bo a great day tor Central Oregon when the first train enters the steel-encircled empire of Harriman. o WHAT ABOUT RAILROAD LEGISLATION? Progressive railroad legislation would nover have got through the Oregon and Idaho legislatures but for the Oro gonlan's help. Tho Orogonlan is now riveting attention upon the proposed railroad amendment to the Oregon constitution and may in sure Its adoption before the people by its tactics. When that amendment had practically failed to be consid ered in tho Oregon senate the Orogonlnn in prominent head lino articles promised Immediate construction of Harriman lines into Central Oregon ,to Klamath Falls from Natron, from Drain to Coos Bay, and branch lines in all directions. It promised too much. That was done for soveral days, with hints -that if tr.o amondment was passed ty Hie sonate all promises of new linos mado by Harriman would be linmodlatoly withdrawn , and all orders for construction would be cancelled in Oregon and Idaho. That aroused the bushes interests of the whole state and they doscondod on tho pooi old doddering framed-up state sonato and made it come through with the railroad amend ment in spite of the interests. Harriman has not withdiawn fiom Oregon and has let more construction contracts than ever before. Two weeks ago the Orunian called In question all Its as sertions made to the legislatuie by publisilng an array of railroad construction pioposed in the Pacific Northwest of $35,000,000. and of this $17,000,000 in Oregon railroads. Further refuting the Orogonlan's predictions of dire disas ters flowing from adoption of the railroad amendment, Hill has entered the Oregon railroad field. Twenty steam and electric extensions are under way In various parts of this stato, and Oregon never saw such activ ity in railroad development as during the year 1909. Since the submission of the i ailroad amendment Hill and Hnmman have paid Oregon more attention than ever before. It is to be deplored that conditions were such as to drive the business interests of Oregon and Idaho to demand such drastic far-reaching legislation. As tho Oregonlan "assisted1' the measure through the leg- mmmmmmmmmmmmmmrxzxiri; WOULD YOU BECOME WELL-TO-DO?

Of course, no one disbelieves the Oregonian's statement that $17,000,000 will be spent on new rallroas in Oregon. Have you ever stopped to think that at $20,000 a mile that sum will build 850 miles of new lines? One of two things must be true: Either the Oregonian is publishing paid dope for theHarriman interests, o rthe sub mission o fthe railroad amendment has the desired effect of awakening the aforesaid interests Harriman and the allied "interests" are taking more than $20,000,000 a year out of Oregon and Idaho in net earnings. In justice to Oregon and Idaho, why should they not build more lines here than in any two states of the Union? Can tho Oregonian answer? Idaho and Oregon are developing fruit industries and irri gated districts that have rapidly outgrown transportation fa cilities. The Oregonian hammered Harriman policies unmercifully until it got a special early train service out of Portland that gives it an absolute newspaper monopoly of Oregon. Since then it is the trucculent mouthpiece of cold-water pol icies to maintain things as they have been for twenty years, It sings the siren song thatt sounds so consoling to the hibemator. "Oregon as she was is good enough for Oregon as she is and for all time to come." Keep Idaho twenty years behind Oregon, is the slogan. Webster's spelling oook and three months' school a vear are good enough for the masses. Why should the people be given any power to break trans portation monopolies? Didn't our forefathers do business on the Erie canal, and didn't Uncle Harvey Scott coome to Oregon on the original Democratic mule? Harriman and the Rockefeller interests don't want the rail road amendment ,and yet their organ is employing the very arguments that will rivet it upon this commonwealth. pnny horo early today, four safe crackers mado their escape without obtaining any loot. The thieves entered the Dorn blacher factory early this morning, Bolzetl and bound B. It. MIckley, a vntchman,,and carried him outside tho Millding. There they found a tramp asleep. Tho hobo was bound and laid helpless beside tho watch man. Then the burglars entered tho company's offlco, attacked the safe lack with a sledgo hammer and fired thrco chargeo of nltro-glycorlno. As they wore preparing to ransack tho safe a switch englno ran In on tho Dornblachor siding nnd a brakoman entered tho offlco for orders. He was met by a volley of bullets from the thugs revolvers and fled. When tho englno returned with The Mission Of those corpuscles In your blood that have been callod "Llttlo Soldiers," Is to fight for you against tho disease germs that constantly ondangor your hoalth.
