Among the most comfortable and

will be fouut the homes of Geo. Gibbons
and G. j. Quinn on Keys Flat near
Mayville. These men settled on their
present locations less than 20 years age
and were the first to SOW and raise
graln on Keys Flat. They did not
have much oi this worlds goods when
they came but their surroundings today
show what industry and Gillian
County soil win do for the man who
will stay with itssad who has desire
to surround himself with the comforts
aud luxuries of life. Both have com
modious modern dwellings surrounded
by shade trees, flowers and fruit and
both are strong believers IN cultivation
as the best means of growing trees,
shrubs, flowers or vegetables in Gillian
County soil. Mr., Qninn has almost
completed an elegant dwelling and
being an expert carpenter himself the
work is all by his own hand and of the
best. The turned work was done by
Mr.. Quinn aud has been pronounced
finer work than can be done in Port
land. Such homes are credit to the
county and Mr.. Quinn says can be had
by any man who will work and who
wants comfortable home.

Pullman Ordinary SIeepers

The tourist travel between the East
and the Pacific Coast has reached enor-
nous proportions in the last few years,
and calls for special class Of equipment.
To meet this demand the Pullman Co.
has issued from its shops what it tech
nicalIy calls the"Pullman Ordinary
Sleeper" These cars appear similar TO
the regular sleepers being bnilt on the
same plan, but not furnished with the
same elegance. They are equipped with
mattresses, blankets, sheets, pillows,
pillow-cases, towels, combs, brushes,
ect. requiring nothing OF the kind to
be furnished by the passenger. Each
car has stove for making tea and coffee
and doing slight housekeeping, and
each section can be fitted with an adjust
able table. A uniformed porter accom-
panies each ear, his business being to
make mp berths; keep the car clean, and
look after the wants and comforts of the
passengers. In each Of the trains which
are dispatched daily from Portland by
the D. X. & n. Co. is to be found one
of these "Pullman OrIinlry Sleepers".
The car attached to the "Chicago-Port-
land Special" goes through to Chicego
without change, and :hc one il; the
Atlantic Express" rims to Kansas City
without change. Passengers in this car
for Chicago change to similar car at
Granger.
Much OF the first class travel is being
carried in these cars, the rates being
lower, and the service nearly equal to
that in the palace sleepers.

SOCIALISM ING.

the present economic conditions

honest enough to tell what they see
John Burns, the English work
ingman's friend and representative
Parliament, who is called a Social
ist. is so only to a limited extent,
predicts that America will become
socialistic, and hints the effort to
become SO will resultin another
great war of this country. This is
no wilder or more unreasonable a
prediction than one of the war of
1868 would have been 20 years
before it occurred. Up until the
war broke out-nay, even after it
had been actually raging for
months There we're millions of
people who refused to believe that
such tremendous tragedy had
occurred, or could occur. Men
awoke up every morning all over
the North and rubbed their eyes
thrice before they believed that the
great tragedy was not dream
even though their elder sons seats
were vacant at the breakfast table.
Let a plain, blunt statment be
made here and now. Causes of
great war are making as surely
and rapidly now, if somewhat more
under the surface, as they were
made from 1920 to 1860. It may
not come; we are wiser: we look
back on the war of Rebellion and
say it was inevitable; no wisdom
could have avoided it, and this is
true. So very likely, in 1850, the
200,000.00O people of this country
will look back on bloodier fields

The Portland Charter Comlais-
sion, recently. by vote ofI To ~,
. being absent, declared in favor Of
the public ownership Of public urii
ities--water works, light plants,
street railways etc. This means
that the principle of public owner,
ship will beembodied in the new
charter aud if the people ratify the
charter the public ownership idea
will become an established fact in
Portland.
The Salem Statesman is much
vexed over this matter aud proceeds
20 put the brand Of its displeasure
on the proposition and also to put
itself on record as being opposed to
the public ownership Of anything,
mot even of water works, not even
of mail cars and mail routes" The
Statesman seems to be an extrem-
list in its ardent advocacy Of monop-
elistic control of everything. If all
the cities now owning their water
and light plants would be benefited
by turning them over to private
company why would they not be
still more benefited by turning
over their streets, sidewalks, bridg-
es etc. to some private toll-taking
company? II the national govern
ment would gain by turning over
the post Office department to the
express companies why would it
not gain still more by turning over
its army and navy and light house
and life saving service and all 9th
er public business TO Morgan
Rockefeller syndicate?
Carried out to its logical conclu-
sion the Statesman's views are "a
little extreme.
