Another Delusion Removed.

tne py one tue delu>lons OF the par

swept away. Last week it came in
the form of triumph for the merger

believe that the Administration had
their subordination well in hand.
Now it ss the beef trust that triumphs,

Commissioner of Corporations, James
X. Garfield, OF the Department of Com

have only resulted in the discovery
that the high prices OF meat, the value
of cattle and the profits of packers, are
not in any way related. The report
appears to be nothing more than a
certificate OF character, laboriously is
sued to the packers by courtesy OF a
government investigation.
While the report makes it clear that
six leading packers control the beef
supply OF the larger cities. that they
are entirely devoid OF the selfish i'm.
pulse which animates ordinary hu.
mainly is implied, and in support of
that belief, Mr.. Garfield believes that
even in 1902, when the price of beef
scared the highest, some, at least, of
the leading packers were actually
losing money on every head slaught-
cred!
The report of the Commissioner is
a complete whitewash of conditions
which the people had been forced to
believe were appalling, and which led
to serious labor troubles few months
ago. The Administration then prom
ised relief, and the ever.honest and
easily deceived public rolled up phe-
nomenal majority, on the bare prom

people had more interest than any
other that came before it:

homily ratified off by the scribes when

that harmonized, even though in q
minor key, with golden memories.
Our people have never disparaged
Portland's efforts to hold her own,
although she is 80 far inland as to
make her aspirations for commercial
importance almost ridiculous. The

TUNNEL D|GG[RS UNDER
EAST CAPITOL STREET
Remarkable Progress Made in the Hole
Under Ground-Excelient Con-
struction Work.

At 1:36 o'clock Sunday evening the ad-
vance force of men employed in the
railroad tunnel on First street reached
Il point directly below the center of
East Capitol street This IS considered
by engineers remarkable progress for
the short time the underground work
on the tunnel has been under way.
1t Is now possible to enter the tunnel
from East Capitol street, where a shaft
was sunk at the beginning Of the un-
dertaking. 1t was this shaft which the
drift Of the tunnel struck early Sun
day morning. The shovel is still at a
point short distance north of 3 street
south.
Engineers who went through the tun-
mel yesterday are singing the praises of
the construction work. The work has
been characterized throughout by thor
oughness and rapidity. Not a serious
accident has marred its progress.
The sinking of the pavement near the
Congressional Library, it is now claim
ed, is not due in the slightest degree
TO any fault in the construction of the
tunnel supports, but more probably to
some change In the underground water
cnanneis caused by the constant pump
