McMinnville. Nov. 11.-(Special)-
The willamette Valley section of the
Oregon Development league met in
this city with a large attendance and
much enthusiasm marking the pro-
ceedings.
Railroad rates, rights OF way and
railroad building in general will be
thoroughly discussed. The principal
address OF the day was delivered by
DR.. James Withycombe or the Agri-
cultural college at Corvallis. his sub
ject being. Competitive Markets as
Factors in Agriculture" The address
was an able and brilliant effort and
was in part, as follows
"The Pacific Northwest is undoubt-
edly entering upon the greatest era
Of commercial development ever
known on the coast. Geographically,
Oregon is most favoTably located and
her coast should be the commercial
zone for the populous centers of the
world Every condition conducive to
the upbuilding Of u great maritime
commerce can be found here, as her
coast il studded with harbors from
the mouth of the Columbia to Coos
Bay, and her farms, forests and mines
are teeming with natural wealth.
These natural endowments, II
properly safeguarded, will support a
large and prosperous population. But
there should be an honorable effort
made for an equitable distribution of
this natural wealth among the various
industrial classes. The OK, which
treads out the corn, should not be
muzzled. neither should the farmer.
Iumberman and miner be deprived of
a just proportion OF the value of the
products of their labor and skill. The
laborer is worthy of his hire, but in
these days of selfish commercialism
the reward for his industry is fire.
quently small.
This brings up the the question of
markets. A market to be a market in
fact as well as in name is a place
where an equitable exchange is con-
summated. II the producer of the
commodity is deprived of his just pro-
portion of the value of the article. pro-
duction Is discouraged. In the alb
sence of competition markets are
prone to become unfair. There Is a

Expose of the Shylocks.

THAT the Journals expose of the Shylock loan
- companies proved interesting. goes without
saying. These concerns have been doing large and
effective business in this city. They ensnare hun
dreds of victims The Legislature passed a law
directed at them despite their desperate protests
We understand the companies assert that they are
violating law because trust companies are esl
cluded from the law as passed by the Legislature
prohibiting usury on the part of companies or
corporations.
Be that as it may, no proceedings of legal nature
have been taken against them. So far as practical
results show, the law is dead letter. Doubtless
Attorney General Richards will be able to tell
whether the companies under one pretet or another
can continue their Shylock practices and filch
enormous percentages from their victims.
Since the publication ofyesterday The Journal has
received many commentators for its work. We e,c-
pect to give more interesting information in con-
tinuation of the publication of the practices of the
loan companies.
The path for the victims is made smooth and
attractive. The shrewd players of the loan game,
pounce upon their prey at the most appropriate time
The raising of money for Christmas gifts to many
people has become an increasing burden each year
How alluring then is it to see picture of a roll of
cash being handed out to you for the asking,
and Christmas tree for which many poor father
would almost sell his hope of Heaven to give his
children. No trouble, all done easly-et the future
take care of itself. No wonder the bright bait is
swallowed and the victims find. themselves entangled
in the meshes of the sharks.
The whole scheme is artfully conceived and carried
out with consummate skill The profits must be
enormous. The companies are practically secured
They are not losers. We thought the high fnaneiers
of the Insurance Companies had reached the pinnacle
of greatness in extortng money and manipulating it.
but evidently, they ought to go to night school to
the gentlemen who make loans at such a lofty
percentage.

Are Known in America.

HE new Liberal ministry in England formed by
- Campbell -Bannerman, is Of peculiar interest to
Americans. It's leading members are in touch with
American thought and tradition. Most of them are
known on this side of the water. Every one who
has read Bryce's great work on our republic, will be
glad to see him occupy prominent place in the
cabinet He is one of the most careful students of
American ideals and friend of this country.
Fortunate, indeed is it for his party that Mr.. Bryce
is member of the cabinet John Morley is another
public man known in America almost as well as one
OF our own leading statesmen. He was recent
visitor to America and frank commentator upon
our conditions. His life of Gladstone has been
widely read in this country as well as his other works
John Burns's career is as familiar to American
worSingmen who keep in touch with the union move
ment, as are the lives of our own Gompers or
Mitchell. He is the most potential factor in English
labor life. He is a radical with state socialistc
tendencies. His influence has done more than any
other thing to prevent the spread of the German
socialistc ideas as represented by Hyndeman in
England. II sappointment to the cabinet is as though
Gompers or Mitchell or some leader of the labor
force in this country occupied place at the Presi-
dents table. The venerable Earl of Rpon is another
distinguished member He was one of the trainers of
the treaty of Washington that issued in the Geneva
award, Another notable figure is the Welsh non.
Conformist Lloyd George. whose Pro. Boer sym
pathes caused him to be mobbed in Birmingham BY
followers of Joseph Chamberlain. At one time he
severely scored Campbell Bannerman himself for his
opportunism Other cabinet members are relatives of
Harcourt and Roseberry former leaders of the
Liberals. Altogether the cabinet which is sup
posed to be sympathetic with Irish home rule will
be watched rather closely in America.

OWNERS WANT
BULKHEAD BUILT
Plan to Fill in Along Front
Street From Harmony to
Chestnut Street
TO ASK AID OF CITY COUNCIL
Special to The evening Journal.

New Castle, Dec l3-Property owners
along the river front are considering
seriously the proposition Of taking steps
to bulkhead Front street, extended be-
tween Harmony and Chestnut streets,
thereby enhancing the value of their
holdings and making that portion of
the city more attractive I'm the future.
The plan under consideration is to
build bulkhead from point begin
ming near the end OF and adjoining the
Bebee (or Truss) wharf and extend 1t
northward parallel with low water
mark to point of the foot OF Chest
nut street. After this has been done,
officials having in charge the dredging
of the Delaware river channel, have
agreed to hll in the space thus enclosed
with the mud taken from the channel,
as &c will be "a convenience for them to
have "a nearby place to deposit IT,
II is proposed to get an estimate on
the cost Of building the bulkhead and
present petition to Council asking il
to bear a portion of the expense as by
filing in the lowland it will thereby
open up that portion OF Front street for
public travel.
