There is a growing conviction that
| the backward development of eastern
Oregon, as compared with the prog
ress Of eastern Washington, has not
been due to a lack of resources, but
to the failure of railroad and other
capital to exploit the country, says
the Spokane Spokesman Review The
Slow development of the coal fields
near Heppner is to the point, These
coal noaasuras wer4 discovered about
20 years ago. Seventeen or Is years
ago the owners had done sufficient
development to warrant a strong hope
that the find was of great value, but
development was allowed to drag
along for two decades. 1t is hoped
that the report will be verified that
the o. r, & N Company is seriously
contemplating the purchase of these
mines and the extension of its Hepp-
ner branch to them. If the expect
ations of the present owners hre
realized the opening of these meas. |
ures viii mean a great deal, not only
for eastern Oregon, but for eastern
Washington as we'll The coal is
said to be superior to the Wyoming
product, which now sells in Spokane
for IS per ton, and the secretary of |
the company owning the veins de-
clares that it can be laid down in
Portland for less than SO per ton. If
hat proves true, this coal can be de-
ivered throughout eastern Washing
on for the sahae price. Three dol
ar coal would mean great deal for
he Inland Empire.

II is the opinion of theOregon Law
Journal the problem flax lodging
can he quite successfully treated by
amending the law on assessment and
t9Xation so as to cause the assessment
roll to be printed in condensed form
prior to the time that it is presented to
the board of equalization. BY follow
ing such course of publicity. il is
argued that the opportunity and the
liability for making any extensive
changes in valuations after the listing
of properties by the assessor will be
largely eliminated, Those champion
ing this. change in the tax law contend
that the advantages to the state will
more than justify the slight cost Of
causing the list to be printed. The
proposed amendment is deserving of
at the hands of the states
lawmakers when the present faulty tax
law is corrected at the special session.

AN uNscRuPuLous EDITOR.


A singularly unfortunate condition of
affairs has come to light up in the little
town of Goldendale, Klickitat county,
Washington. A man named Story con-

ated by w. F. Byars. Byars is a
married man, who has seven children,
while story is bachelor with none to
look after but himself. All this Is very

itor Byars saw fit to take unto himself
Jne wife and seven children that Is
likewise his business.
But there are other serious consider

course is operating to the decided dis

Story succeeded to the plum upon the

be- Now, this selfsame Story con-
tinued to enjoy the business during
Mr.. Clevelands term, and when the
county repudiated the democracy he,
too, became repudiationist, Topping

hold! the patronage went with him!
TO this the editor of the Sentinel
takes exception, and well he should.

The FREQUENT Railroad Wrecks.

Columbia correspondence News and
Courier: The railroad COMMISSION
will in it's report to the legislature dis
cuss the frequent wrecks that have oc-
Cured in this state during the past SIX
months. The report will review every
one that has occurred and there Will De
several important suggestions made.
From a statement made by chairman
Garris this morning all OF the Dlame
will not be put on the management
either. The commission keeps rec
ord of the wrecks in this state ana tne
roads all file official statements with
the commission as to the causes OF
each wreck, with the number of lives
lost. This will be added to the report
In speaking of the wreck at Chester
Wednesday, Mr.. Garris said: i am
satisfied that the cause of this wreck
was the criminal CarelesSness OF the
EMPLOYEES Of the road, taking the OF
fetal statement handed out by the off1-
cials as a ground for this assertion
In some Of the wrecks the public has
been quick to place the blame upon
the management, but in this and IN
several others investigation has shown
that they were caused by neglect o!
duty on the part of the employees OF
the road. Dismissal is poor punlsn-
ment for this sort of business, and
think that such cases are for the sollc-
itors to take cognizance Of. The CON-
mission will commence their annual
inspection Monday. going over the
Southern from Charlotte to Augusta,
and over the Carolina Midland as far
as Hardeville. The inspection was de-
layed a little by request Of the super
intendent. who desires to accompany
them.
