Trains runs direct from Portland to Marshfield without even stop ping for lunch in Eugene, and a ton of Coos bay coal can be Slipped from Marshfield to Portland cheaper than to Eugene, Salem or any other point on the line of the road. That means that any manufacturing industry desiring to use Coos Pay coal for fuel would of necessity be compelled to locate in Portland. Portland sawmills are forcing rates upon the valley mills that will all but close them. Evidenty Portland interests are attempting to force lumbermen to locate I heir mills there and ship the logs to that city to be sawed into lumber. . , . , Portland iobbers make special and nigner prices iu mei is some suggester, It is said that a famous French em press once applied to the French treasurer for money to replenish her wardrobe, buy jewels and like uses. The treasurer's reply was : "Madam the people cry for bread." The queen answered with the, to her, unanswerable ques tion: "Why don't they eat cake." If Mr. Mazwell will point out anything cheap in the way of a substitute for potatoes, or for that matter any really cheap food, he will do a great service to the country generally. It appears the law concerning the election of school directors is badly mixed. It is too soon yet to judge of the condition of other laws, but judging from the way bills were referred and re-referred, called back from the governor's office, acted on in committee of the whole and whnt in Western Ore con than in those sections of j finally on third rading, were found defective and sent i sovereign stale affected inter relations the mutter should au Ilv fall within the province of mal government ami be ml just - n dues not want war with the the Northwest where they nave to e.i,r,.1tl nr.icn nr nr.hAv inhhinp cities O llilVflin-, u""v v. ..v..... j o , railroads have fixed their freight rates so as to aid (he Portland interests to enslave the Willamette valley, md it is because of these conditions that development is go slow and business refuses to respond to the boom that -.ilont throughout other sections ol me counuv ficht with Seattle, 1 back to committees again, it is lair to presume there is or the trade.

If western Oregon ever reaches the state ol develop ment it is entitled to reach because of its natural re sources it will be when its smaller cities are live centers of industry providing markets for the products of an in tensely developed count ry about them. If Portland wants everything and devotes her energies, aided and abetted by the transportation companies, to that end there is no bote that conditions will ever change for the better. Portland people and Portland capital have a wonder ful opportunity to assist in developing the state by adopt ing a broader' policy of business-building, or they may continue to extort tribute from our people and throttle our industries and all our efforts to help ourselves. The narrow policy of the past has resulted in making Portland the slowest and dullest city of all the big com mercial centers of the Pacific Coast. Honors are easy between the legislature and the governor. The former reduced the salaries of the sunreme court stenocrauhers making a great saving to vwi mrv ci'ue .Mfttii . , , . if mi! . f , .

HUR'S GOSPEL To the Kdilor: I lead with interest the open letter in the last Bulletin, written by Brother r'ordon of Hood Kiver, and I agree heartily with everything he says, and I am glad such leaders as Brother. I'orden have awakened to the fact that if the Orange is to remain the leading Organi sation among the fanners, it must ar range to take care of their financial needs, and I am convinced thnt the time is now ripe for this necessary advance in our work. My dear Brothchr h'orden that is the gospel thai I am preaching. Hotter mail. els must be developed, and above all, core scientific distribution of farm produce must be secured. ( 'ommuuities must learn to major on some particular crop, so that they will be able to mar ket it iu ear lots rather than in small uantities. We miust get nearer the ulti mate consumer.

We have handled over 40,000 pounds of wool for our members, and have sold several ears of other produce. All this without the investment of one cent of capital. In addition we have opened a public mar ket in Kugeno, where our farmers bring produce, meats, etc., and sell di rectly to the consumer. On one Saturday by actual count over 4,000 people visit ed this market in four hoiirs This has had a wonderful influence, not only for those who have sold on the market or through the market committee, but it has raised the price paid for all live I stock in the county. t am citing these facts to illustrate! what the grange can do, not alone with! live stock and wool and through the the city league public market, but in all kinds of iarml dished, to be able to an- such nrmngemeats have g perfected in ounties to pool coming year.

He hands down daily, his decrees, explaining why we roast or freeze. Today we shiver, in our woe, because somewhere there is a "low." To morrow we shall bake or fry, because some where there is a "high." I do not like the weather chief ; he is unmoved by human gref. He sits up in his moldy tower, like Marianna in her bower, and scans his dreary maps and charts, and plies his dark and mvstic arts. He doesn't care if people freeze and have rheumatics in their knees: he doesn't care a whoop or wurst how many kitchen pipes may burst. The weather is to him a game, and stolidly he plays the same. While we are thawing frozen toes, he rants away about his lows. When icicles are in our eyes, he hands us bunk about his highs. There's nothing human in his spiel, and no emotion does he feel. If he would help us cuss a streak, when cold winds blow, week lifter week, if he'd admit he has a pain, when this old world is soaked with rain, he might draw closer to our hearts but no, he reads his dippy charts, and through the same old motions goes, discussing tiresome highs and lows. msandi MILDRED IS DISTURBED OHAPTEE (T.V11I The very spirit of unrest wa me.
