RELIEVE THE SHERIFF.

At the state convention of Oregon
shcriffs to be held in Salem on Sep
tember 18, the matter Of relieving the
sheriff Of tax collecting will be dis
cussed and perhaps an amendment to
the present law will he offered for
consideration.
TIL, East Oregonian believes this is
a wise movement. Tax collection in
oregon has become a task Of import
ance and magnitude. Formerly when
the state was new and sparsely settled
the sheriff could handle the work cas-
ily. Now the counties are thickly set
tlcI and the collection Of taxes re-
quires the services of one and two men
in even smaller counties and of more
in tho larger counties.
Either the county treasurer or els
q regular tax collector should be en-
powered by law to do this work. Tho
sheriff'g duties are entirely foreign to
tax collecting. except in leyyng fol
collection Of delinquent taxes and he
should be relieved Of the work.
This law should be amended and the
office of state examiner Of accounts
should be created at the next session
of the legislature. The volume Of
business of the state demands thesc

oREGON's RAILROAD POLICY

The oregon sunday Journal Of Sep
teu5cr .. reviews in a thrilling and
unsparing manner the policy of Har-
riman and his railroads in oregon
The history of the o. +. & y. is re-
viewed from the beginning and the
failure Of the road to build branches
and extensions into new districts which
need roads is bitterly condemned.
This may lead the public TO believe
that the local officials Of the road H..
Oregon are responsible for the policy
Of the system.
such is not the case. The local Of
ficials Of 'he O. r. & y. in Oregon
would gladly respond to the demand
of the state for new and better facili-
ties, but these officials do not make
the policy of the Hartman system.
In the New York offices from where
the finances Of The Hartman system
are directed, is where the injustice to
Oregon has been hatched and propa-
gated.
Had the officials Of the system in
Oregon been empowered to do so, they
would have built branches and exten-
slcns Of the system long ago, for they
have been over the ground and know
the resources of the conutry and the
need Of better facilities.
Put Oregon TO Hartman is one lit
tie room in the vast playhouse of ,his
activities.
His attention is riveted upon larger
Interests than those Of insignificant
branch lines for the 0. r. & y. Trans
continental lines are driving him to
tho limit in momentous questions OF
traffic and he must care for these
first Then If the pin pricks from
Oregon happen to attract his atten.
tion. the magnate may turn his atten-
ton to the toy lines demanded in th-
inland empire.
Let Us place :he blame whore It be-
longs. one ST. okc Of 4 pencil in Ha-.
riioan's New York office makes tho
railroad policy cf JI,gcn. The locd,
officials must obey the master Of 5he
system or step down and out.

Ship of today, ! watch you sail
Across the lessening hours to me!
What storm can those brave wings

What tempest toss that peaceful

All happy things you seem to bring
A cargo of long sought desires,
Rebirth Of JOY, glad songs Of spring
And subtle hints Of hidden fires.
Yet stand I silent and apart,
Unwelcoming your fair array,
With eyes turned toward you, bu,

Still with the ship Of yesterday.

SAN FRANCISCO
CARGO AFLOAT
Local Shippers Again
! Move Merchandise
for Siberia.
Goods Worth 5000, 900
Are Dispatched by
Steamship.

San Francisco shipping houses have
resumed their traffic in Califor-
MIA products with Asia. The first cargo
to be moved from this port to the Asiat:e
coast by any one concern since the hre of
April is now on the way to Siberia on the
steamship Hazel Dollar. The cargo was
dispatched by Getz Bros. & Co. The tot1l
value of the goods is estimated at s20a,-
000 approximately The bulk amounts 70
1900 tons.
Since the fire there has been no stop
page of shipments TO Asiatic points by
the regular lines of steamships. The
goods have, however principally come
through from the East by rail and were
transshipped at this port. This was due
to the destruction of local warehouses,
stocks of goods and the general confusion
that followed in the train Of the fire The
cargo that sails on the Hazel Dollar, con-
sisting of assorted merchandise, was con-
traeted for early IL April The steam
ship was chartered by Getz Bros q Co.
some time ago. The charter rate holds, as
a ma tier of course. The sailing was has
tened as much as possible TO save de-
nlurrage, but there were difficulties in
the way the mention of which would make
a good story alone.
Included in the orders for goods from
Siberian dealers YVES a large quaHtity of
salt. The rail connections with the
marshes south of the city, where the salt
was, had been disrupted for the time be-
ing. 1t became necessary to resort TO
barges to get the salt to San Francisco.
When the attempt was made to move out
from the marshes the discovery was made
that the bed of the bay at that point had
been disturbed, and the water was shoaled
so that it was necessary to dredge to
deepen a channel for a short distance.
When the salt reached San Francisco
there was no burlap to put it in. The
burlap~ being procured from another point.
the lack of machinery to make bags
caused the adoption of another expedient.
Similar difficulties were encountered in
other ways with different commodities.
Finally, however, the merchandise was
all aboard, and San Francisco as a COM
nunity. in its sole capacity. is again rep
resented by an entire cargo on the ocean.
