FILIPINOS ARE FARMERS.

The agricultural class of the Phil
ippines, comprising probably over 30
per cent Of the population, does not
think deeply upon American control
says Hamilton Wright, in the World
today. They feel the results We have
done absolutely nothing to better the
condition Of the vast population en-
gaged'in agriculture or Of the people
as whole. They are worse off than
they were under Spanish rule. These
people are simple, friendly, and very
industrious for tropical workers. TheV
are mainly Interested in purely local
affairs. in the village in which they
live, their amusements, their family
They are of a common Malay stock
and consequently, 1t may be added
without dispaagement to them, are
totally ignorant as class Of the priv
ileges or responsibilities Of a repub'
lican form of government as we know
IT. They do not particularly care fol
independence, as the Anglo-SaXor
mind conceives 1t, for it means moth
ing to them.

In Bates county. Missouri first
class apples are selling for u cents
per bushel and there is little market
in the surrendering country, even at
that price. In Pendleton the same
grade of apples are selling readily at
$3.50 per box, a box containing about
one bushel. If the government own
ed the railroads and operated them
at cost the Missouri producer and the
oregon consumer would be able to
strike bargain. But as it is the
freight rate from Missouri to Oregon
is so high that the Missouri apple will
rot under the trees. Really, if the
government owned the railroads and
could distribute the products of the
country at moderate cost, the inequal-
tiles and disadvantages of present
conditions would be largely removed

OPEN THE RIVERS.

one Of the best articles on open
river. canals and water highways in
general which it has been the good
fortune Of the East Oregonian to see
in many months. appears in recent
number Of smiths Magazine, and was
written by c. H. Forbes-Lindsay.
The article discusses a Lake-Gulf
waterway from Chicago to New Or
leans and compares freight rates and
vaIumes of business on railroad lines
parrlleling waterways with those not
in river or canal territory.
Discussing the relation of railroads
to river transportation, the article
says:
In the final analysis, an active
waterway will always prove a bene-
factcr to its railroad competitors
Past experience has established this
fact beyond question.
The most prosperous freight car
rying roads in the country are those
subjected to such competition. The
New York Central and Lake Shore
roads run within sight of water traf-
fic through every mile of their
routes. Nevertheless, their freight
business is as profitable as that of
any roads in the United States,
Germany completed the canaliza-
ton of the river Main from Mayence
to Frankfort in 1856. There was an
independent railroad upon each bank
Of the river and these lines opposed
the enterprise for fear of resultant
competition.
However, in the year following the
opening of the waterway, the business
of the roads increased S6 per cent and
in the. second year, 5S per cent.
Recently these same railroads have
energeticaIly supported the improve
ment Of the waterway, because they
realize that it has stimulated enter
prise and made more business foi
all"
The opening of the Columbia rivel
and the establishment of electric
lines throughout the inland empire
would make more business for tht
railroads now in operation by stimu
lating settlement and creating new
enterprises.

foundation for a great industry as the
state grows.
There is no great complaint coming
from Washington about the distribu-
tion of sacks. The fact that over o.
100000 sacks are placed in the hands
Of Washington farmers each year at a
cost of but y cents each while the
trust made sacks sell for 10 and IL
cents each, justifies the Washington
jute mill. AS the capacity of the
state prison increases. the output wilr
be increased and the entire farming
industry of the state will be supplied
in time.
The Tribune has not even been fair
to the jute mill proposition. From
the very first it quoted all the pos
sible objection to it and even now
while expressing undying loyalty to
the farmers, (who will vote for United
States senator in 19OS) its only argu-
ments are against the jute plant.
If it is in favor of the jute plant,
why does not the Tribune seek out the
plausible arguments in favor Of the
mill and give them prominence, and
join in the efforts to overthrow the
unfavoruble sentiment among Will
lamette valley politicians?
1t would be better to stand up for
/ the farmers, unfalteringly and fail
in the end. than to pursue a veiled
policy, from which it could flop either
way it saw the tide running.
The farmers need the help of every
newspaper in the state. The Tribune
must be either for or against the
/ farming interests of oregon. The re-
suits of the Washington jute mill are,
too apparent to admit of uncertainty.
| Sacks for next May delivery are now
quoted on the markets of Washington
at ~ cents each. With jute at its
present high price, the Washington
jute plant will be able to produce
sacks at a cost of about cents each.
This saving of 4 cents each ON p
SOC, 900 sacks is certainly a matter of
Importance to the farmers of oregon
1t means a clear saving Of 100000.
This would he enough to pay half the
exuense of establishing a jute mill.
The Tribune says the raw jute trust
is something entirely beyond the reach
Of American legislators. How about
the tariff If S-.55 per bale on raw
jute? Is that beyond the reach of
congress That amounts to almost
, cents per sack, which the farmer must
pay.
While the editor of the Tribune ha'
been farming for the past 80 years h,
has also been a strong advocate of {
high protectice tariff. This jute tar
iff is a fair sample of that policy

about as profitable as any the farmer

ness of North Dakota as a stock-growing
country and wherever he goes he boosts

time ago he met prominent stock
grower of Iowa to whom he unburdened
himself as to the richness of this section.
AS result the stock man said he would
convince him of his error, and took him
to the stockyards. Three of the best
looking punches of cattle in the yards
were picked out and inquiry made as to
where they came from. One bunch was
corn fed and came from Illinois, another
came from Iowa and was also corn fed.
The third bunch was found to be ship
ment from the vicinity OF Dickinson and
the owner said he could prove that they
had been raised entirely upon the native
grass of that section, and all hands
agreed that they were the best cattle of
the three lots selected, judgment that
was confirmed by the sale of the animals

c. F. Sailor, special agent of the agri-

been investigating the forage resources
of this section of the world and makes
the remarkable statement that the ma
tive grass of the Missouri Slope is the
richest for stock purposes of any in the
country, and will so report to the depart

Mr. Sailors Investigations on behalf Of
the government cover the native and
cultivated grasses of the country and his
entire time is spent in investigating the
growths of these products.
In speaking of the superiority of North
Dakota buffalo grass over the native
grasses of Iowa, Illinois and other states,
Mr.. Sailor said one inch of buffalo grass
was equal to I3 inches of native grasses
of the other states, or in other words that
it was I3 times more nutritious.
He is great enthusiast over the rich

Penitentiary Offence.

Some time back, unbeknown to me, a
neighbor came down to my bunch of cat
tie and cut out steer and shipped him
to Chicago. did not even know until
three days after that one was taken and
then just learned of it by accident.
When the neighbor was questioned as
to this high-handed manner of dealing
with my stock, the answer was, "they
needed steer to fill out car"
These people are evidently not aware
of the fact that they could be lodged in
the penitentiary for such an offence.
1t did not seem to make a particle of
difference whether would be inconven-
fenced or not by having a steer thus
taken, as had not yet made shipment
of cattle myself.
If things of this kind are allowed, any
one can 60 to any bunch of cattle and
help himself. Had they come to me like

out there is no doubt would have &C.

WOMAN HAS CASE
AGAINST LACK PENDING
Man Arrested at Long Beach in
Check Case Believed by the
Police to Be the Principal In a
Civil Action

H. S. Strayer, under arrest at Long
Beach charged with forgery, Is said to
be the same man who, under the name
of Charles S. Lack, was accused by
Miss Ida j. Hayman, a former employe
at the Hotel Coronado, with taking her
purse, containing $40, several months
ago.
She told the police she thought he
took the purse as a joke, but he ne
elected to return it when she later
asked for it.
Believing a criminal action could not
be sustained the police advised the
woman to bring civil suit. This was
done and the case is pending in Justice
Pierce'S court.
When Strayer, alias Lack, was ar
rested in Long Beach Tuesday he tore
UP an envelope, as printed yesterday,
and it was afterward pieced together.
From it the authorities learned Strayer
was known by attorneys in Los An
geles and from them his other name
was ascertained.
The man is accused of passing f1c-
titious check upon Silverwoods Long
Beach store for 81.

CURED i'm an endeavor to complete the
sewer in accordance with the original
pans, and concludes as foilows
Now, after doing all this, what do
we get? We are given an estimate for
the month of June Of only $2,t1S.75 for
work performed and material fur
nished. We get nothing for extra brick
work which had been ordered and
completed months ago; we get nothing
for lumber left In place; we get moth
ing on our hauling contract, which Is
more than seven weeks in arrears. This
June estimate for S21iS.75 is less than
one-fifth of the amount OF the May es-
innate, and yet there was more work
completed in June than in any of the
preceding four months.
"This small and unjust estimate Is
no doubt due to the fact that there is
a shortage in the sewer construction
fund. We assert that, even II there
were no difficulties out of the ordinary,
there is not money enough in the
treasury to complete the sewer.
More than this, however, If the un-
finished portion of section of the
sewer is built under the present plans,
the cost to the city In providing a
proper foundation will be so great that
that item alone will go a long way to-
ward exhausting the fund.
you well know that il the sewer
construction fund is exhausted before
we get our money we will be unable to
collect the amount due us from the
city.
Most of the statements here made
can be readily substantiated by refer
ence to the official records. If there is
any doubt as to the truth of any other
of the facts stated, we are confident
that Inquiry will remove it. Aside from
our personal interest in the questions
involved. and Independently of any
wishes of our own in the matter, 1t
seems to us that the immense public
Importance of proceeding properly here
after is sufficient to Justify your hon
orable body in giving some consldera-
