There does not appear to be any
occasion for all this hubbub over the
light contract. Last year the city
spent s1o,3s3 for lights. This year
$4,000 has been appropriated for
lights, and If the contract for 10
lights were let now to private com
pany at the price proposed, they
would cost the city $3.50, as there
will be not quite year for the con-
tract to run. This $3.50 for 10
lights, added to the $4,000 already
appropriated by the general council.
for t25 city lights, Will make the to-
tai cost OF the city's lights this year
$11,150. This will be only s7G7
more than the city spent last year.
and the city will get SO more lights
than 1t had last year Certainly

Kipling in London Again.

Rudyard Kipling is back in England
indulgimg his cleverly caustic wit at
London banquets. At the Academy
dinner, which followed the private
view of the May exhibition, speaking
to the toast of Literature he de
clared that literature had always
stood outsids the law as the one cali
ing that is absolutely free-free in
the sense that 1t needs no projections.
And he illustrated his point in this
fashion: "For instance, when, as oc-
casionally happens, a judge makes bad
law, or a surgeon makes a bad oper.
alton, or "a manufacturer of food makes
bad food criticisms of their actions is
by law and custom confined TO compar-
atively narrow limits. But if, as oc-
casionally happens, a man makes bad
book, there is no limit to the criti-
cism that may be directed against it.
And it is perfectly as it should be,
The world recognizes that little things
like bad laws, bad surgery and bad
food, only affect the cheapest commod-
ity that we know about-human life"
There is fine mixture of philosophy
and satire in this-Boston Herald.

portland Telegram.)

Attraction of the Oregon coast coun-
try have drawn party of Michigan
capitalists who are reported to be ne
gotiating for land in Tillamook county
which is heavily timbered. The pro-
perty lies south of the territory to be
tapped by the Pacific Railway & Navi-
cation company's line, and an offer has
been made the Willamette Valley Trac-
tion company to build west so an out
let would be afforded to the Willamette
river.
So sanguine are the eastaners in
the scheme that they are willing to
enter into a contract to furnish 100,-
100000 feet of timber annually as traf-
fic for the road. No decision has been
reached in the matter, but it is prob
able if the road is constructed from a
point ON the main line 1t will be car
ried through to the coast. The mem
bers of the party made a thorough in
spection of the country and the tim

and have returned to the east to report
to associates.
The first rails for the line of the
Willamette Valley Traction company
are due. The initial shipment will con-
sist of 1000 tons of steel, and this will
be brought through Portland for de-
livery at Salem. The entire order is
fo- 5000 tons, and the first delivery
will complete One-third of the road.
The work is to be carried on from the
Salem end until the bridge over the
Willamette at Butteville is finished,
after which rails and other material
will be hauled from Portland by water
and the road completed into the city.
Under the terms of the franchise
granting the company the use of Front
street the United Railways company
has a year in which to finish the belt
line. If the Willamette Valley com
pany chOuld commence at this end as
well as at Salem, the officials say. the
road would be rushed to completion.

INSURANCE RATES TAKE BIG
JUMP.

The eighty insurance companies rep.
resented ON the Board of Fire Under
writers of the Pacific Coast have taken
action TO recoup themselves for their
San Fvnncisco losses by raising the
rates approximately 95 per cent. The
states affected are California, Nevada
Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Montana and
Arizona.
The state Of Washington is the only
state outside the jurisdiction Of the
board. Several years ago this state
enacted law known as the anticom-
pact law, prohibiting Insurance com
panies from uniting in fixing rates, or
in any way controlling insurance
affairs.
President Haven said, "The law
does not permit US to fix rates for the
state of Washington. but we are eharg,
ing them just the same"
This is clear evidence that the boar'l
members presented by agents in Wash
ipgton win exact the raised rates there
as in other states.

fishes at the request of County Super
intendent Bunch communication
from state Superintendent Ackerman'
With all due respect to these gentle
men and with due appreciation OF the
GREAT California losses, the Harbor
beCs to express the belief that oregon
should not be called upon to build Gal
ifornia school houses.
Let us take Coos county for example.
Outside of the towns there is not
school house in the county worthy OF
the name.
In North Bend we are straining every
nerve to provide school facilities. Our
school building is unfinished and the
needed bonds were voted down.
1t will take long years to pay for
the bonds alreaJd yvoted. We had to
90 around and beg small subscriptions
to put the grounds in presentable
shape. We need all the money we can
possibly raise for our own schools.
When a man is drowning you are
justified in every exertion to save his
life. When the people of San Francis
co were in dire distress from the earth
quake Coos county contributed gener-
ously of all it had for their benefit.
In the final analysis when man has
nothing, whether he was born that way
or whether he had millions and lost it
by earthquake, both need the same
charity.
The people of Oregon started in with
nothing. All they had was their hands
and they built their own school houses.
California is just as able to build Its
own school house as Oregon was.

IMPORTANT REPORT.

The transportation committee of the
Portland ehambec of commerce on Sat
urday fled its report with that body
ON the open river situation. The re-
port discusses exhaustively the condi-
tions as they have been, as they are
and as they should be and shows by
telling facts the great great need for
making and maintaining the upper Co.
lumbia available for steamboat traffic.
1t follows in substance.
"This committee is more convinced
than ever that if Portland is to be a
great commercial seaport, of the in
terror is to receive the benefits OF rea-
sonable rates and to reach its proper
development, it will be brought about
only through deep sea and safe chan
mel to the sea, and the opening to navi-

THE CAMPAIGN FOR
GREATER OREGON

Now that the campaign is over
would it not be good idea for Colonel
Hofer to renew his campaign in the
state for greater Oregon, an open
Willamette river, deep sea harbor
etc.9 There is much work to be ac'
complished along this line, and with
PROPER agitation some good may be ac-
complished in ongress-Silvertonian
Appeal.
The campaign for development had
to give way for. the political campaign
fyr a few months, but development
conventions are slated as follows:

Oregon is ahead of any state in the
west in enterprise, in progress along
all lines, and until this state has the
same population that any state of is
size and fertility of resources is enti-
tied to. There must be large cities
built where Salem and Eugene now
stand, and a large city on west coast
harbor and another in the klamath
country. Our senator's and congress
mon and state officials must all become
allies in this work, and the people will
not be satisfied with any listless, lack

DEMANDS A SQUARE DEAL

The Willamette Development league
stands pledged to a square deal for all
Oregon, especially the great undevel-
oped interior and the undeveloped west
coast and it's harbors. 1t is an unde-
niable fact that Oregor at best can
get only catain amount of appropri-
ations, and if the interior and the west
coast committees do not bestir them
selves all the money appropriated by
congress will be absorbed by the i'm
provement at the mouth of the Colum-
bia, by deepening it's channel up to
Portland, and by the projected i'm
provemente on the upper Columbia, and
by the canal and locks at The Dalles
Let us be fair about this and look the
facts of the past squa7ely in the face,
and we will admit that not half enough
money can be obtained for properly
taking care of the needs of the Colum-
The great fact that stands out is that
three states are properly ehargeable
with all appropriations for the Colum-
bia and it's harbors, and not Oregon
alone. Portland has done nobly in sup
porting the work of the port of Port
land commission, but the west coast
harbors. the Willamette river and the
locks at Oregon iCty are entitled to
Just as much consideration as the Co
lumbia river if the whole state is to
be- developed. All Oregon should unite
for square daal.
The abandonment of Improvements
at Yaquina Bay and the pulling off
of steamers from that port has cost the
producers and shippers of the William
ette valley hundreds of thousands of
dollars and retarded the development
of western Oregon. A fou--foot cham
mel in the Willamette river at least as
far as Corvallis the year around
would mean savings of hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually to the
farmers of the Willamette valley. Free
locks at Oregon City would mean a
net saving of 100000 a year to the
farmers of this valley alone, and as
much more ITO the merchants and ship
pens in reduced freights. The opening
of snch harbOrs as Tillamook, Siuslaw
Coquille, Wedderbu-n and
Port Oxford means the creating of new
cities. new industries and new centers
Of commerce and population. Making
Coos Bay deep sea harbor, with a
railroad into it. means
a competitive market for the whole in
terlor of the state, and new life for
the mercantile and manufacturing in
berests of all Oregon. Are not these
things worth struggling and organizing
