WHAT RUMoR SAYS.
About new Facilities for Travel Be-
tween Corvallis and Albany.

Ali kinds of rumors are in circu-
lation concerning the proposed new
mail route between Corvallis and
Albany. The new route is plan
ned by the posto66ce department
for the purpose of increasing the
mail convenienccs of Corvallis and
vicinity. I1is scheduled to leaveCor-
wallis at 6:3o in the evening and to
arrivefrom Albany at s: 80 the follow
ing morning. Bids forIthe service are
to be opened at Washington Febru-
ary 2nd, and if accepted, the service
will begin March 18th.
The government figures that the
passenger traffic on the route will
be large consideration, and it is
supposed that this item will be a
factor in the bidding. 1t is with
reference to this that rumors are
flying. One report is that the G. &
E. railroad company proposes to
put on train between the two
! towns, so scheduled as to do the
proposed passenger business. This
report is current both in Corvallis
and Albany. As to whether there
is foundation for it nobody knows
The company has always claimed
that its former attempt to operate
morning and evening train betweei
the two points was financial fail
ure, and on this account, most peo
pie place no credence in the report
Another rumor bearing on th
subject is that an automobile servic
making fast time and maintaining
regular schedule, will go on the rout
just as soon as the spring roads vii
permit. AS to the truth of eithe
of the rumors, no confirmation ca
be had. 1t seems probable however
: that better facilities for passing be
tween the two valley towns al
likely to soon develop.

A SIGNIFICANT LETTER
About Insurance Rates-New Fire De-
partment to be Organized.

At 7:3o o'ciock this Wednesday
evening. there is to be a meeting OF
citizens in the City Hall for the
purpose of organizing fire depart
ment. Robert johnson, appointed
by the city council to undertake
the rehabilitation of the department
has been at work on plan for sew
eral days. Monday and yesterday,
he spent among business men and
others in a personal canvass of the
situation. Without exception all
business men were found to be edeep-
ly interested, and nearly all prom
ised to be present at the meeting
tonight. to assist in the organiza-
ton of the new department In ad-
dition over forty young men with
out solicitation, have signed an ag-
greement, in which they volunteer
to become active members. 1t is
believed that there are many others
who could not be seen, who will
also, add their names to the roll Of
membership of the proposed, new
department. A letter received a
day or two ago from officers of the
board of Fire Underwriters at Port
land, shows what importance alta
ches to the proposed plan of rehab'
ilitating the department. The Un-
derwriters it should be explained
are final authority on all matters o1
FIRE insurance. No matter In wha'
company an insurance policy i:
written, it goes first to the Board o
Fire Underwriters, and thereaftel
to the officers of the company II
which it is placed.
The letter in question is to a1oca
i agent, who wrote the Underwater
respecting the rate on a building
: about which certain charges ha'
: been made. The reply to the in
quiry, was as follows: "Referrin'
to your diagram, showing change
in the dwelling referred to, we be
to advise you that this matter wi
have the attention Of our surveyo
when he next visits Corvallis. Th
exposure distance is but . few fee
greater than heretofore, and th
q present rate is somewhat under tai
= if. With the present condition {
l the fire department in Corvallis, W
do not deem it advisable to issu
lower than tariff rates. If, on th
9 the next visit of our surveyor, th
y conditions in the department al
9 not improved, thee is stron
, probability that all ofthe rates wi
be advanced to meet this lax cond
ton of the department."
Everybody is invited to atten
, tonight's meeting.

WHY NO COMMERCE THERE?

The newest report of engineers
With reference to the further I'M
of the entrance at va
auuina, is slightly more favorable
than some that have preceded 1t.
IN it, the engineers say that cond1'
tions will not warrant an improve
ment at the present, but they leave
the question of future improvement
open, intimating that whenever the
commerce will justify, further at
tempt to deepen the entrance might
be considered.
This matter of lack of trathc
in and out of the Bay is the in
luence that will unquestionably
continue, so long as it .prevails TO
stand in the way of further govern
ment aid for the harbor. A pecul'
lar fact connected with the whole
matter is, how does it happen that
4here is no commerce at the port!
A railroad maintains a daily serv'
ice between Yaquina and the valley
In the latter oats, lumber, hops
fruits and tons upon tons of otbe'
products are lying in warehouses
awaiting shipment with no mean
available for their transportation
Cars are not to be had in suthcien
numbers over the S. P. railroad t
accommodate the immense trath
that is offered. Time and exper
ience has demonstrated that thes
products 60 to market via Yaquin
with equal convenience and ia
more cheaply than by other routes
Then, what unseen and myster1ou
influence isit that prevents thl
vast aggregate Of products from &c
ing to market that way? Why
it that Yaquina has no commerce
Who can explain?

the program. the greater the mum.
Der of shooters that will be induced
to attend and the greater the ad'
vertisement of Corvallis, There
are a number of lately organized
Gun Clubs in Benton county as
none of their members are especial
ly expert on the art OF smash
ing bluerocks, it has been decided
by the management to bar ali
cracks from outside localities as
the few that would attend would
discourage the attendance of anna
teurs and initiate against the sue
cess of the tournament. The Club s
profit will be derived from the tar
gets thrown and the more shooters

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.

Commerce between the United States
and Cuba has increased, it may with
out exaggeration be said immensely,
under the operation of the reciprocity
treaty that went into force December
81, 1908. Sugar imports from Cuba. as
q matter expected, have had much to
do with the expansion of trade be-
tween the countries-no doubt account
ing for much of the increase of exports
to Cuba as well as for swelled imports
the United States, not only in greater
quantity but with special advantages
under the treaty, the Cubans can afford
to buy more heavily than hitherto of
American products. At the same time,
the increase in Cuban sugar imports
has not demoralized the market.
The imports from Cuba for the first
three months of this year amounted in
value to s23. 217, $50. against 81, 94S, So
for the corresponding three months
1903. Exports to Cuba for the first
three months of 1904 amounted in value
to IS. 495, 149, against $5.211,063 for the
corresponding period of last year. OF
the imports from Cuba sugar made up
$19,315, 2S5. The increases in the values
of articles exported from the United
States to Cuba are much more diversi-
fed than in the case of imports. Espe-
cially important increases have been
registered in the exports to Cuba of
flour, cotton cloth, sewing machines,
locomotives, leather, lumber and fur
niture.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE.

The address of Thomas F. Finn, the
,,rasident of the Stablemen's Union, to
the public of San Francisco to "hlch
the Advertiser alluded on Wednesday
of last week, has not produced the
effect that was anticipated In the
s+ri1a of the members of that body
against the Stable and Carriage Men
Association, there have been severai
instances of brutal violence towards
pon-union men. 1t remains to be seen
whether Mr.. Firms promise VIII De
kent and the criminal strikers expelled
and successfully prosecuted
Nevertheless the progress towards n
d1strial peace is unlntefiIliteeh''
Among other evidences of this face Is
late book by George L. Bolen on inc
Problem of Wealth and Poverty-oI
Profits. Wages and Trade Unionism'
In which the author plainly and statis-
tiealIy deals with strikes and lockouts.
He writes for the church, in its proao
sense. embracing many denomlnauohs'
in which thousands of unionized wage
learners are included, and which pro-
bibits hate ard anathen1a, as sug-
gested by the blackleg inferno and as
made terribly real in the manning ana
killing of scabs." In accordance with
many lay thinkers in the United States,
he recognizes the full right of organiza-
fion by labor as we'll as by capital,
and. he considers that the reorganized
or purified unions, respecting the law
and ununionized citizenship, have come
to stay, and he suggests that, as the
church is also to stay, both should CO..
operate in securing needed reforms and
in the peaceful solution of present and
future controversies. Great force is
attributed by this able and con-
scientious man to the fact that, in
America, religious bodies are earnestly |
s'trying to prove that the Christian re-
1igion is the means of social redemp- |
ton"
All suca expositions of the truth and |
all such influences for harmony be-
tween the two great factors in indus |
try. are both welcome and useful. The |
trend towards industrial peace is con-
slant and practical, and is little i'm
peded by occasional outbreaks, such as
have occurred in San Francisco.
