1t May Be.

Considerable interest is being taken in
the article in Saturdays 0regonian. in
reference to the extension of the o. G. &
E. across the mountains irto eastern
Oregon. There is report of proposed
railroad from Pencleton to Prineville
with the suggestion that il is to be q
branch OF tie o. G. & E. An interview
with Mr. Hammond has lead s1me to
believe that it is proposed to build into
Eastern Oregon regardless of the i'm
provements at Yaquina, connecting the
road with the Astoria road. The fol-
lowing are Mr.. Hammond's words on
the subject, while somewhat indefinite,
yet containing some encouragement:
We have 99- year lease of the North
ern Pacific between Gobie and Portland,
which completes our connection between
Portland and Astoria 1t msy be that
il will be deemed advisable to give the
Eastern Oregon feeders an outlet at the
mouth OF the Columbi instead ofeonfin-
ing them to sYaquina Bay, which the
government seems slow 20 improve for
ocean craft In that case l suppose 8
new line will Qe built up the valley, un-
less satisfactory arrangements can lie
made for using existing roads. The ten
dency of ocean commerce is to ship in
large vessels, and the harbor that will
not accommodate the largest merchant
ships is hardly safe one TO tie an ex-
tensive railroad system to- The condi-
fions have changed greatly during the
past few years, and deep water harbor
is essential TO any transportation scheme
involving fereign commerce. II plans
now in mind shall be carried out, there
will be plenty of business for Yaquina
harbor without clearing commerce for
foreign countries there. Tue coastwise
business will be large. Ysquina bay is
the nearest seaport TO the rich William
ette valley, it should be remembered.

STOOL.PIGEONS, COMMISSION.
HE police department of Min

The police department of Min
neapolis is receiving a severe and
apparently we'll deserved drubbing
at the hands of the Minneapolis
Journal, for keeping secret a large
percentage of the robberies COM
mitted in that city. The Journal
showed great enterprise in secur-
ing a detailed list of the crimes as
reported to the police during July.
How the list was procured is
known only to the alert manage
ment of the journal. Sufficient
for the reader that it is there and
to all appearances correct as pub
lished in last Saturday evenings
issue. The list comprises 122
thefts Of various articles, includ-
ing jewelry, bicycles, clothing and
a wagon. The last entry on the
list is buggy, stolen from No. 5
fire engine house. The Journal
does not seem able to account for
the secrecy Of the police in these
matters. AS there are something
like sixty "stool- pigeons in active
service in Minneapolis it is plain
that large percentage Of these
offenses may be traced to such
source. The police force consider
themselves in honor bound to pro-
tect "stool-pigeons" under all cir
cumstances regardless of the honest
citizens who must suffer, as this
species is considered a necessary
adjunct to the police department
Of a metropolitan city. To the
number of our readers unacquainted
with the occupation Of the ''stool-
pigeon" we may explain that he is
a thief allowed by the unwritten
laws Of detective departments to
ply his nefarious calling in con-
sideration Of information given to
the police about other thieves.
He is supposed to work his graft"
only on non-residents of the city,
but occasionally deviates from this
rule. AS there are about sixty Of
this class in Minneapolis the
Journal may readily see the ''sup-
pressed cases would only average
two crimes each to the host of
''stool-pigeons.''

erly adjusted before we can hope
for the modicum Of happiness that
should be a part of the lot of each
mortal. It is we'll to have the best
ideas applied to prison methods in
the reformation of criminals; it is
a grand benefit to society to have
laws for the punishment and prop
er detention of offenders; but it
would be still better than either to
have proper safeguards thrown
about the sacred Office of marriage
to prevent the further propagation
of degenerates whether among the
rich or poor, the patricians or the
plebians.
Society regards marriage as the
most sacred consummation Of
mans earthly destiny; yet there are
practically as many laws govern
ing the licensing OF a cur quad
ruped running the streets, as in the
granting Of marriage license.
All that is essential in either case
is that you have sufficient money
to pay for the permit. Moral fit
ness cuts no more figure in the
latter case than does the particular
breed Of dog in the former. It is
for society to decide whether it is
preferable to continue caring for
the moral dross caused by a lax
social condition, or whether they
shall repair the leak in the social
fabric that is the primary cause.

standing that when they were put

share the royalties accruing there

The profits to the Ladies' Home

THERE is no passport to success
and happiness SO effectual as a
frank, open countenance. 1t does
not matter if the face be as homely
as the proverbial barn door, the
man who is honest at heart has
that fact branded upon his coun-
tenance. 1t is customary at times
with the humorous periodicals to
affect bright paragraphs about the
"honest" faces of crooks as their
main stock in trade. While there
may be cases at times wherein
such is the fact they are by no
means the rule, any more so than
it is a rule that ALL men serving
sentences for offenses are natural
criminals.

been emphasized in the last few
years of industrial depression by
the many instances in which work
ingmen have lost their all through
the failures of banks in different
sections of the country. The
postal savings bank system has
long been in successful operation
in England and Canada. The
patrons of such institutions do
not receive high rate of interest
but they are always light-hearted
from the very knowledge Of the
certain safety of their earnings.
If the American workingman had
government savings bank as a
depository for his earnings he
would have strong incentive to
lay by few dollars for the pro-
verbal rainy day. Backed up by
a government guarantee he could
afford to take a lower rate of in

difference two per cent. less to feel
that what you already have on de-
post is safe, regardless Of how the
