which most physicians are powerless

Hot Air Won't Go, and the Meeting
of the League Sets the Die
tatOr to Thinking

Funds have been collected and plans
are well under way by which the trans
portation committee of the Chamber Of
Commerce hopes TO accomplish that
which is Of vital Importance to the
state Of Oregon-railroad development.
The conditions which have spontane-
ously created the necessity Of active
work in this regard are as follows:
For about 25 years the o. r. & N. Co.
has been a dominant factor in the
transportation fields in this state. Dur.
ing all this time the people Of this city
and state have, in every way they
could, both by giving it their business
and otherwise, shown their loyalty, go.
ing 30 far at times as even TO discoun
age other roads in their attempts TO
secure a foothOld here. During all this
time the people have been waiting pa
tiently for the building Of branch lines
and extensions into tributary country,
and for aggressive efforts to develop
the state and contiguous territory.
Every map and folder issued by this
company for 25 years showed extern.
sions in embryo. Every year prom
ises have been made to build, until its
record is now one long chain Of broken
promises. Now the north, the Great
Northern (baeked by the power Of Mr..
Hin) and the Northern Pacific have
pursued al aggressive policy and are
doing all in their power TO build up
a commercial rival to Portland, and
have forced the o. r. & N. Co. to cease
even attempting to serve territory trib-
utary to this city. Immoral, and per.
haps illegal, "truces" and agreements
have been entered into by II respecting
interstate commerce; not only is Port
land deprived Of the support Of as rich
a country Is there is on the face Of
the globe, but the country itself is
practically set back for years for lack
Of transportation facilities and rail
roads, these companies not only d.

they cannot agree as to a division, the

stances, will this movement be con
fined 20 Oregon. Idaho and sections
Of Washington are affected alike, aud
are equally interested. Nor is the
committee starting for a short cam
paign. IL knows the resources Of the
great railroad companies and how they
work. In the past it has apparently
not been difficult 10 divide and dissi-
pate the strength Of such movement.
II has often been said that the peO-
pie Of Portland ever pull together,
but IL remains TO be seen whether
or not they can be divided this time.
A number Of meetings have already
been held, and some progress made.
Certain propositions have been submit.
ted 10 the companies, and when their
answer are received il will be time
TO discuss them publicly. The eem-
mittee desires TO work on fair and
friendly lines IL wants 10 cooperate
with the railroads In the development
Of the state, but II wants eo-Opera-
tionj 1t 10 only too willing to recognize
and act on mutuality Of interests, but
the interests must DO recognized as
mutual. But the committee will not
abandon its position or work until this
great state receives fair treatment
from the hands Of the great transPor-
tation companies. II feels that as
Portland il the great center Of the
population and business Of the North
west, and grows only as the country
grows, il should take the lead in this
movement. The committee further
