NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-07-09

Within the past four years tide of settlers ha,
set in this direction small at first but steadily grow
ing each years as the new comers spread the news
and thus helped to attract their friends and ac
quaintances The railroads for their part have don,
their full duty in this respect not only in scattering
attractive literature but in reducing rates so as I,
induce the right sort of settlers to come here and
anime things for themselves Other public bodie,
have aided in the work but yet it altogether was moi
nearly so far-reaching and systematic as to com
pletely meet the demand.
1t is now proposed to go far beyond anything
heretofore attempted not merely to advertise the
country, but its products and to make them stand
forward as they do in the enerprisng state to the
south of us. This is big undertaking and it re-
quires general cooperation to make it complete
success 1t is not the work of one section or of one
class of people for special interest but it should
be made the work of all the sections and all the
people for the whole state 1t should be appreciated
that anything done for any part of Oregon will
surely help every other part of Oregon and that no
part can be very prosperous without the other parts
feeling some benefit from it.
Some time ago called attention to the fact that
the state does not get the benefit is entitled to out
of the fruit for which some of its sections are pre-.
eminently celebrated. All Of this should be rem
edied and it win be remeded when the state organiz
alton gets in full working order To this movement
everyone should lend willing hand If that is done
we venture the prediction that the growth of the
state and its various cities in the next 10 years viii
be amazing to attract the surprised attention
of the whole country. Those who live here know
that all that required for the states resources
and advantages to be known. Once man comes
here to see for himself it is almost matter of course
that he becomes a resident and property owner The
whole problem then is solved when people are in.
duced to come here and this is why the work of
the associated organizations Of the state win be at
the basis of our future growth and prosperity.

VALUE OF STATE ORGANIZATION.

There is no movement recently started that de-
serves more hearty encouragement than that to sys
tematicaly advertise the state through organizations
for that purpose, says the Portland Journal In
this respect Oregon has never put it's best foot for
ward. Unless man actually came to the state
and saw for himself he had no real means Of know
ing just what we had here and the advantages af-
forded as section in which to SETTLE For this
reason chiefly Oregon now presents the best oppor-
tnties of any Of the states to those who seek new
homes with the certainty that conscientious work will
bring about the best results that could be expected
anywhere.

Anyway, conscience is a queer crit
ter. I've noticed that them 1t goads

III. Par. American Railway


In the United States they continue
TO cherish the scheme Of an inter-con-
tlnental railway which win connect the
systems OF North and South America
through the isthmus OF Panama, and
ultimately create q continuous line
from New York to Buenos Ayres. The
report OF the commissioner appointed
to study the possibilities of the ques-
tion has now been published, and he
points out that certain important
events have been working together Of
late to give II more hopeful aspect.
Mexico has been gradually working It's
systems down to the Guatemala hor-
der. and has now only lie miles to
40 to reach Il. II Is still prosecuting
the work in that direction. while the
Central railroad OF Guatemala IL COM
ing northward to meet II from the cap
ltal OF that republic. lntersectlng
this there Is to be n route between
the oceans, and an extension TO the
boundary OF San Salvador Is said TO
be only question OF time. Negotla-
tlons are going on for line through
Nicaragua. and similar activity IL
beginning to appear In Costa Rloa.
The United Fruit Company has lines
ON the Atlantic coast which II proposes
to extend TO Boca del Toro, In Panama.
At the same time. says Mr.. Pepper.
Indications have become more favor
able at the South American end "The
boundary dispute between Argentina
and Chill has been settled, and the
latter country has concluded an arr
rangement for the construction Of a
tunnel through the Andes under the
government guarantee, which win re-
suit in connecting Buenos Ayres and
Valparaiso. The trouble between Bra
I'll and Bolivia over the Acre rubber
region has also been settled. Argen-
tina is extending Its northern railroad
lines. not only to the border OF Bo-
livia, but beyond to Tuplza. Bolivia
is also to receive an indemnity OF g.
000.00Ol from Brazil. and President
Pando has recommended It's use for
securing further railway credit and
the development OF lines which would
become links In the inter-contInental
route, Peru Is also being moved by
foreign enterprise to the development |
OF her mines and the establishment Of
better railroad communications. Col.
ombia Is in an unsettled state. but an
event of great promise is the inde- |
pendence OF Panama, and the UNDER
taking Of the inter-oceanlc canal by
the United States" The link OF great
est difficulty and uncertainty In the
scheme Is the long one through the
Isthmus and the republic Of Colombia;
but this is by no means regarded as
Impracticable to construct. Mr.. Pep
per declares that at the present time
only $500 miles Of railway are lack
Ing, all the way from Mexico to Ar
sentIna, to make the system complete,
and over this distance much Of the
work Is going on" within the different
The entire cost OF the con-
struction is set down at 10000. O.OOOl.,
but 1t would probably work out at
very much more, and one doubts If It
would ever ay.-Engineering.

THE PEOPLES TRUST.

"Billions Staked in Gambling with Death" is the
way New York paper heads report Of the past
years life insurance business of the country That
expresses concisey an old delusion that it not en-
tirely extinct says the Saturday Evening Post.
Many people used to refuse to take out life insurance
because they thought it wrong to bet and others be-
cause they would not go into game in which they
had to die to win"
But the mere statement Of the magnitude Of the
insurance business is enough to show how these ideas
have been outgrown. This is not such nation of
gamblers that its people would bet $18,0O0000,000
on game of any kind. The truth is that the gamb-
ling is on the other side The man who does not in
sure bets that he will live. If he wins he saves
little premiums; if he loses he leaves his family
mprovided for
Insurance has now become recognized form of
property. If the holder Of policy dies its value
goes to his heirs; if he lives he collect it him
self The latest statistics show that in Philadelphia
alone the amount of insurance in force is nearly
100000, 900 equivalent to the entire bonded ma
tional debt of the United States. In New York it
is about $2,3OO0O0OOO or nearly four times the
market value Of the Standard Oil Company.
The people Of the United States are carrying life
insurance policies about equal to the nominal capital
Of all the trusts and all the railroads Of the country
combined They represent sum substantially equiv
alent to oneffth Of the entire estimated wealth of
the nation public and private There are five life
insurance companies each of which has policies out
standing equang or exceeding the interest bearing
national debt The oldline companies have all told
about 100000 policies in force and there are over
100000 members in the fraternal insurance or
ders 1t safe to- say therefore, that at least TO-
100000 heads of families, representing 50,000,000
people, are carrying life insurance of some Sort It
is the most gigantic cooperative enterprise in his
tory. 1t is a voluntary pension scheme on scale
that dwarfs anything attempted by any or all Of the
paternal governments of Europe It's scope is ex-
tending so rapidly that there will soon be hardly
family outside Of the Submerged tenth, without
a share in its protection
The American people are now taking out new In
surance at the rate Of 100000 day-probably
three times the present cost Of the Russo-Japanese
war to both the combatants combined When we are
worrying about the concentration Of wealth in the
hands Of the trusts we may console ourselves with
the contemplation Of this tremendous popular savings
agency, whose operations throw all the trusts put

1t was near ten o'clock when Doctor
Moran returned and his face was
sombre and thoughtful-the face of a
man who had been listening for hours
to grave matters and who had not
been able to throw OF their physical

"Who else? She has brought him

James Lauder, Scotchman who had

He declared that having had occasion
to go to Guys hospital in London to
visit a sick comrade, he saw there
Captain Jacobus. He would not admit
any doubt of his identity. but said the
Captain had forgotten his name, and
