The heads of these great institutions, whose giant intellects illuminate the pathways of commerce, should come back to the soil and renew their acquaint ance with Mother Eearth. They should occasionally swing a scythe, wield an axe and 'plow a round or two so as not to forget their raising. A touch of the plow handle makes us all kin. The heads of great railroads cannot look out of a private car window and comprehend our problems; neither can they ac quire understanding by sending a messenger with a standing collar and a long title to make typewritten reports. The heads of these institutions must get back to the soil and take hold of the plow handles if tbeyi want to leed the heart-throb of agriculture." I Peter forgets that when the lion and the Iamb lie down together in these modern days, the lamb is invariably inside of the lion. The express companies especially Wells Fargo, before the advent of the parcels post, according to a report made by an investigating committee in California, "earned t6 per cent a month or 800 per cent a year and declared dividends of that amount. This is what Wells Fargo did when it had the people in its grip. It has lost that grip and is now seeking a strangle hold. The old song applies peculiarly well to the express companies: "The devil was sick, the devil a saint would be, The devil was well, the devil a saint was he." ALA8KA AND ITS POSSIBILITIES. LASKA anneals tremendously to mv imagination." said Franklin K. A Lane, secretary of the interior, just before he left Washington on a 1 tour of inspection of the work being done under his department. The A-4 secretary has a long head and evidently knows a good thing when he sees it. Few if any, even the residents of that big and rich ter ritory know anything of its vast possibilities. We are all disposed to look upon it as an icebound, snow-coverod country, incapable of growing crops, or of no value other than as a producer of gold and furs. We overlook one thing, and that is that in the far north the lateness of the spring and the shortness of the season is offset by the fact that there is little if any night, and that growth continues uninterruptedly, from sprout to harvest. Of its mineral rosources we know ,but littlo, in fact the vast torritory is an unknown country. That it contains immenso bodies of coal is known, and while yielding half a million a month in gold, it is practically unprospocted along that lino, and what its ultimate yield will be no one can oven guess. That it will, much of it, grow wheat has been abundantly demonstrated, and the samples of vegetables grown at the Arctic circle would make those grown here in Oregon hustle to beat them. It is a virgin torritory and offors a splendid field for trying out government ownership ideas. The territory is so sparsely settled that no private company will be tempted to build railroads through it, and as the development of the country will demand transportation facilities, it will become necessary for the government to do the work, or sub sidise some corqany, and this iiystom is not now in good repute. It is proba ble that the first government owned railroad in Uncle Sam's torritory will be built in Alaska. Its fisheries are another great source of wealth, and its tim ber of Incalculable value. Strange as it may Boom to most of us, Alaska is to coiuo to the front as an agricultural country. There will be a time in the near future when Alaska's wheat crop will liavo to bo taken into consideration in the world's markets, and tho price of beof and mutton in this country may yet depend on "Seward's Folly." t Attend Ou r August Sale-Powerful Reducti Made in all departments to make fast selling. During this month there will be no mercy shown to ALL CIBCUMST AN TIAL EVIDENCE. DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY HELTZEL Saturday filed an informa tion against Y. Koda, husband of the Japanese woman killed at a Jap restaurant here Thursday night, and also against Joe Nakamurra, and I. Matsura, both Japs, charging them with murder in the first degree in the killing of Koda's wife and baby and Joe Kiyokawa. The evidence against them is, so far, purely circumstantial, but it is strong enough at least to warrant their holding pending investigation of the crime. According to the latest story, the police were careless in not searching the house thoroughly, the basement being overlooked, or, as some one said, "it could not be searched because the door was locked." This, in the light of sub sequent developments, was a serious mistake, for Friday night some one broke into the basement. There was nothing in the basement the next morning, and presumably nothing the night before, unless it was the bloody clothing of the murderer or something that might have some bearing on the crime. Whatever it was the burglar was after he presumably got, and disposed of so that it is gone forever. However, the not is tightening around Koda, all the circum stances pointing to him as the criminal. Even the nature of the wound that deprived the little baby of its life bears testimony against him. It was the disemboweling, the hara-kari, the seppuku, tho death given by the Japanese government to disgraced noblemen. It is pre eminently the death for "disgrace." Of course it is possible that Koda is innocent, but when one considers that the motive of tho crime was undoubtedly jealousy, it points to either Koda, the husband, or to some other lover of his wife, who was jealous of tho dead man. It is known that the woman and tho man who was killed with her were, let us say, very close friends, but there was no other man known, who bore this relation to her, and bo with jealousy as the motive the evidence all points to Koda as the murderer. The fact that his friend, Nakamurra was on the acene so soon after the crime that he picked up the baby still alive, indicates that he was present when the crime was committed. The district attorney did well in filing an information against the three Japs, for it is pretty certain that the other two, if they had no part in the crime, at least know the criminals and wore present when tho murder was done. It is hardly prohablo the prelimin ary examination will disclose tho murderer, but it will probably justify the holding of all of the accused over to tha grand jury, and time will do tho rest. A GREAT SCHEME OP ROBBERY. WE ACKNOWLEDGE tho rocoipt of "our copy" of a typo-writton lot tor ostensibly Bent us by tho author, ono Peter liadford, Texas Farm era' Union. At least that is what ho signs himself, and for all wo know what he may bo. Peter writes more like a paid promoter, a smart, wordy, worker of the lend pencil variety, who would defend Pontius I'ilato and tho rabble at tho crucifixion, if paid for tho work, rathor thtu a farmer. Tlio lottor was written for the benefit of Wolls Fargo express company, more than likely at its dictation, and for tho purpose of assisting that company In getting an everlasting grip on tho food products of the Uni ted States, and the consumer and producer alike at its mercy, Potir draws a picture, a moving picture, of the great bonoflts that would follow tho making of tho express companies tho middlemen of the whole coun try. This great Wells Fargo express company takes the load, and. has already organised an "Ordor, Commission and Food Products Department." Sounds fine, doesn't itf It Is what Potor calls the "most weighty economic project now before the American people, and the most gigantic co-operative plan that has ever been submitted in which tho prosperity of the producer, carrier, deal er, consumer and all tho peoplo, 1b mutually and equitably involved." It will rut down, the cost of living 30 per cent, it says so itself, and Peter says bo for it. It Is going to involve everybody, too, and that is no dream, that is if ev erybody is Billy enough to bo Involved. Peter is not like his famous namosako of some 1000 years ago. He Is just the opposite, lie denies nothing, but goes out of his way to admit almost ev erything, especially if it Is bad about tho big transportation coinpanioa, in cluding the Wolls Fargo express company. Peter oases his conscience thus: "Tho common carrier has, in many Instances, been satisfied to look upon tli o distress of tho farmer with Indiffornnco and has given small concern to a glutted market. Ho usually gets his before the stuff is dumped and sends a glib talking agent to express sorrow to tho producer and collect any balanco due on tho freight and then sets about to encourage an increase in farm ton nage next year, but now those mighty agencies of commerce are looking toward the marketing side of the fanners' problems and the common carrier nover faced more golden opportunities for usefulness than now confront him." Wo hope ho feels better after getting that load off his mind, but ho certain ly told nothing that tho public did not know long ago. That is the reason he admits it so cheerfully. He, as tho lawyers say, "confesses and avoids." Tho companies were bud, but now they lmvo found a way by which they can como to his relief and their own and at the snmo time bo good. Kvorvono who has ever had business with an express company knows that it would take tho last acorn from a blind sow with nino suckling pigs, in a nice business way, of course, and have the pigs jailed for squealing, besides, Then Peter, just to mak in all feel good, 'fosses up for tho companies, and shows somo of tho things they have done, ami points out that the companies are now all good and will not do such things as gouging the public any more unless they get a chance and that tho Ethiopian has changed his skin and tho leonrd is now spotless, Toter points out that the fellows with the giant intellects and gall, "illumi nate the pathways of commerce," when they should throw their light on tho trail to tho penitentiary Instead, must get in touch with the plow handles and tlio producer. Peter need feel no alnrm on this account. The giant Intellects will touch tho farmer up all right ami make him produce just as always only more so, oven though they can add nothing to the productiveness of the farms. Peter outline his plan for making tho big fellows feel the "heart throbs of agriculture," and Invites all farmers to get together in "an organized effort to uplift sgrieultunv" Hero is the way he puts it: "Our common carrier have made mistakes. They have endeavored to bo come masters and sit in the councils of tho great and they have paid tho pen alty for getting out of their place. They are the teamsters of civilisation and belong In the servants' quarters,' The politliinu hna been making a saddle horse out of tho common carrier and riding into office; the courts have, In some Instances, whipped him repeatedly and the commissions have cut down his Colonel Goethnls, the builder of the Panama canal, announces that the last blast, tho ono that will tear away the dike at Gatim, the last barrier to the pening of the canal, and tho meeting of the waters, will be fired October 10. Whatever may be done by tho eastern side of the continent, the Pacific coast ill keep the day in remembranco, and it is probable make it a public holiday. Professor Thomas Shaw, ono of the best known authorities in the country on all industries and interests that affect the fanner, says that putting wool on tho free list is not going to injure that business in any way. Ho points out that in England, whore land values are much higher than in America, that millions of sheep are being raised and that it is one of the most profitable branches of farming. The professor says "if tho American farmer undortakes to raise mutton of quality, Bhoep raising will be found exceeding profitable, though there may be no tariff on either mutton or wool." He adds that the sheep grower should prepare to raise the general standard of the industry and embark in it more heavily than over. , I LADD & BUSH, Bankers TRANSACTS A GENERAL BANKING BUSINESS.
