If it is true, as the old "saw" says
that your ears burn when people are
talking about you, there must be q
blue blaze about the ears Of Il. II
Hartman since his visit to Oregon
last week.
Mr.. Hartman boasts that $3.50, 900,
600 has been expended on the Union
Pacific, Snort Line and o. K. q ". in
the past few years for Improvement
and betterments, and yet Oregon, his
best territory in the west, has been
neglected, held in bondage, refused
railroad branches, and made subject 10
his arbitrary will.
Oregon has been a treasury for Har.
riman, and for the o. r. & N. before
Hartman, yet the state has been de.
MED its just and equitable needs by
the Hartman management. Instead
Of building branch lines into the in.
terror, as other railroads do into trib.
utary territory, it has forced the pro-
dueers to haul wood, wheat and other
produce hundreds Of miles, and drive
livestock, at great loss, from the far in.
terror to the very northern border Of
the state to reach shipping points.
All this is history. No excuses
from I'M. Hartman nor his attorneys
can make the best policy Of the road
under his management appear just and
right in the eyes Of oregonians.
IL oregonians now invite other roads
and turn business other ways Mr..
Hartman cannot hold them to account,
for they are under no more obligation
to him, than he has been to them in
the past. There should have been
some sort Of friendship between the
system and the people, aside from a
cold commercial game which has been
praeticed upon Oregon.
Had there been such a friendship
exhibited by the road in the past, II

their commitment, instead Of having
the sherifs deliver the unf~ortunates to

the matter Of humane treatment, but al
so in the matter Of expense. As now

Conan Doyle's Great Story.

All readers of fiction will be interested in
the fact that tomorrow The Star will begin
the serial publication of the latest novel
from the gifted pen Of A. Conan Doyle.
This is a literary event Of first Importance.
for this author Is now regarded as one Of
the worlds foremost novelists. He numbers
his admirers vertically by the million, and
they accept eagerly all his offerings, whether
he writes OF the days of romance or the re-
markabie analytical achievements of Sher-
lock Holmes.

THE White Company" which has always
been rated as Conan Doyle's highest liter
airy achievement although one of his earlier
works. Consequently, the character of Sir
Nigel Loring. the hero of that tale, is now
familiarly known to all readers of this
paper.
In the serial which opens tomorrow Sir
Nigels earlier career Is described. He APP
peared in 1.-THE White Company" at the
age or forty-stx, and there was that in his
bearing which strongly suggested an in
teresting past. With his characteristic
skill the author now picks up the thread Of
those adventures which fitted Sir Nigel for
his strenuous activity Of middle age. In
this second story he is described as setting
forth to mend with his sword the broken
fortunes of his noble house and family.
From that action spring many results, sur
prising and thrilling In their nature, and
the author has related the tale with all his
skill in holding the reader from the first
word to the last.
