RAILROAD MEETING
IN MATAMOROS

A HERALD reporter has been in
formed that state representative of
Tamaulipas, Mexico, ST.. Dastugue
and a civil engineer will arrive at
Matamoros by this evenings train.
Their visit to Matamoros is for the
purpose OF comforting with the
Chamber of Commerce and property
owners Of that city regarding the
extension of the NJ. NJ. railroad
from its present terminus to Monte
rey via Camargo, Mier and Cerralvo.
A meeting of the business men Of
Matamoros will take place at the
Teatro de la Reforma at s 80 tomor-
row morning.
The concession obtained from the
Mexican government 70; the build
ing of this proposed road, we under
stand, carries with it a subsidy Of
5000 per kilometer or $4,000 per
mile, which is in itself is a great
factor towards the building Of the
road.
We also understand that Monterey
citizens will contribute handsomely
towards the enterprise and it is
without doubt that Matamoros will
do likewise.

There are signs that important
changes will yet be made at the state
university. A professor has been ap-
pointed to ill the vacancy caused by
the death of Prof. Mcclure. There
may be other changes including a new
president. The one manIof the pres
ent faculty and pioneer Oregonian
who in dignity, breadth of culture and
real character and manliness stands
at the head of the faculty, and if an
Oregon man is selected ought to be
made president, is Professor Condor
Of the chair of natural sciences. In
spite Of his age he is splendid type
of man and gentleman. He arouses
real enthusiasm that lifts his classes
out of the atmosphere 'of personality

Owen Wister, whether as man or
author, is most interesting peason-
ality. After graduating at Harvard,
his allegiance seems to have been di-
vided between music and law, and be-
fore making final choice Of profes-
sion he determined to pursue course
of musical study In Germany. AL
though it resulted in high honors, he
finally declared for law, and opened an
office in philadelphia. But it was
neither as musician nor lawyer that
he was destined TO become known to
the world. His vacations were spent
iu Wyoming. The strong, free air of
the plains impregnated his blood; the
life of the cowboys, Indians, and SOL
diers, from being merely observed, be-
came known and sympathetically un-
derstood. He has done for them
through his contributions to the Har-
per periodicals, what Bret Harte did
for the Californian pioneers and Rud-
yard Kipling for the soldiers and sail
ors OF the British Empire.

Hon. J. r. Proctor, President OF
the United States Civil Service Com
mission, in his article in the Septem-
Der Forum on "Hawaii and the Chang
ing Front of the World" considers
that events are so shaping that the
United States, Great Britain, and
probably Japan, will be drawn int0an
alliance to prevent the closing Of the
ports of the Far East, as a result of
the expansion Of Russia in Asia and
the possibility of a compact between
that power and China. With regard
to Hawaii, Mr.. ProcGer directs at
tention to the facts that modern bat
tle-ships are dependent for their ut
ility upon their coal supply; that tue
great distance across the Pacific rem
ders it difficult for warshlp to cross
from Asia and return without recoal-
Jag; that, in the possession of hos
ii power, Hawaii would give al adj
ditional base tor coaling and repair
from which to attack our extended
coast-line, but that with Hawaii in
our possession, and Pearl Harbor we'll
fortified and stored with coal, we
should be safe from an attack from
across the Pacific and should require
fewer Notifications on our Western
and Alaskan coasts.
He concludes: The Hawaiian Is
lands-the most important strategic
position in the Pacific--are today like
a derelict flying a dag of distress in
mid-ocean.
With a government representing a
minority Insignificant in numbers,
liable to overthrow at any time from
internal causes, or from dangerous
complications growing out OF the pre-
ponderance OF aliens, the situation, in

EDITORIAL.

Those who talk OF the KlOndike ex-
citement dying out with this year are
not fully informed of the history OF
gold colonizitiOns. Gold discoverl es
are the most vitally potent civllizing
influences. The rush to the Alaska
gold fields is checked for this year.
But next year will see 200, 1000 venture
some Americans going to Alaska for
gold. The streamlet of population
will grow to.a torrent Of population
and the fall of 1898 will see the valleys
OF the Yukon country settled with
villages and towns, and hitherto
considered uninhabitable country will
be as thickly settled as the Columbia
basin was In 1860. The northwest will
feel the effect of this as a permanent
stimulus to business. The Willamette
valley produces -four, fruits, meats,
vegetables and woolens, and has COM
mercial facilities to handle the trade
and will reap a constant benefit from
the Klondike. The floods of colonial
tion and the wealth returning from
there will leave valuable deposit of
increased population and prosperity
in Oregon. AS to how much gold will
be taken out, it makes no difference so
long as it is enough to keep up the ex-
citement and keep population moving
there.

We believe a 10 to so cent price fol
wheat will continue to prevail. The
trade wind of permanently better
times has surely set in, but we eau
tion all against undue exaltatlon or
speculation upon the basis of boom
era. Money is not yet much easier to
get even on good security. High taxes
and high interest and all fixed charges
are still out of proportion to the earn
ing power of the people and will keep
times stiff. The American securities
sold in the London market are mainly
sold to Americans. UpThe mortgages
cancelled are those foreclosed by loan
companies as much as from being paid
off. Henry Clews, in his circular Of
August 28, is hopeful, but upon con
tingencies:
The market has yet to receive its
main stimulus. 1t has risen so far
upon anticipations. When we witness
the realization in uniform large in
creases Of earnings among the rail-
roads; when the swelling of the inter-
ior demand for merchandise based on
dollar wheat has told it tale in the
distributing market; when the in
creased demand for goods begins to
advance commercial values; when our
enormous cotton crop reaches the
stage of marketing; and when an
other surplus of exports over imports
brings a free importation of gold
then we shall have the force of things
seen in place Of hope of things unseen
and Wall Street will witness such a
harvest as it has not seen for many
years past. A few weeks more will
land us in that stage Of the great re-
covery; which, however, is not to be
expected to exhaust the upward tend
ency of prices.
