The Railroads. Big Stick.

In "The Way of Railroad With 9
Town." in the June McClure's, Ray
Stannard Baker shows how common
carrier holds up an entire section OF
country, and says whether this indus
try or that shall prosper, or whether
this class or the other<sha be utterly
driven out of business. Mr.. Baker spent
a long time studying his material for
this article in Danville, Va, which is
tapped by only one railroad, the
Southern, and which on this account
is quite at the mercy of the rate
makers. A comparison is forcefully
drawn between the conditions here
and those in the city of Lynchburg, 66
miles away, which has plenty of rail
road competition. Mr.. Baker states
facts which unless backed by statis-
ties might we'll arouse incredulity.
For instance, fertilizer is shipped from
Chicago to Danville at $3.50 a ton,
whereas if it went 66 miles further
to Lynchburg, the rate would be only
$440. Horses shipped from the west
can be delivered at Richmond, 141
miles further, at so much less freight
that Danville shippers have been
known to book their stock all the way
through, and then remove it by stealth
from the ear as they stood in the Dan.
vile freight yard. The tragedy of all
this lies in the fact that Danville has
contributed hundreds of thousands of
dollars to railroad companies for com.
petition and is still paying interest on
a part of this money. Mr.. Baker tells
how the tobacco growers are barely
able to struggle along, while certain
favored exporters are given rates
which are like finding money. The
story of the contest between the rail
road and the anti-railroad parties in
the town is of absorbing interest
Everyone who wants to understand the
big stick powers of the railroad should
read this sane and forcible article.

the prevalent disregard of the for
est primeval" Passing westward from
New England, there are few states,
save the prairies commonwealths of
the middle west, in which thousands
of citizens have not toiled in their
youth at "log piling." There was no
market at hand in the earlier days for
lumber, however good it may have been
and the logs were simply collected
in piles and burned So far from deem
ing this a wasteful practice, the set
tier found it the only way to obtain
cleared land. The era of middle west
ern development created a vast demand
for lumber, and then still more land
was cleared for the profit to be made
out of the trees. This could not be
regarded as waste when it also opened
the way for agriculture.
Long schooling in the destruction of
trees for utilitarian reasons has doubt

Indifferent in large degree to the loss
Of our forests. National habits of

DEEDS, NOT WORDS
Salem People Have Absolute Proof Of
Deeds at Home.


It's not words, but deeds that prove
true merit
The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills.
For Salem kidney sufferers.
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of Salem
people who have been cured to stay
cured.
William Baumgardner, of 424 Water
street, Salem, Oregon, says: "I speak
from personal experience when say
that Doan's Kidney Pills do all that
is claimed for them in curing kidney
complaint and headache. L had felt
the need of such a remedy for a good
long while, but did not know just
what / should use I have found that
many medicines are worthless and that
even physicians prescriptions do not
always prove effective. When / read
of Doan's Kidney Pills, however,
was induced to go to DR.. Stones drug
store and procure a supply. The back
ache and irregular condition of the
kidneys which had annoyed me quick

w1THYcoMBE AND CHAMBERLAIN
(FOrest Grove Times }

(FDrest Grove Times)
1t is a matter of great regret tha
Dr.. Withycombe should be defeated
for governor. Not another man on eth
er ticket so fully represented the
farming, the stock g-owing, the great
producing classes as he. His work as
an educator in connection with the
| Agricultural college and experimental
station for many years has put him
in closer touch with them than any
other man in the state. He is fully
qualified for all the duties of the po-
sition; he is man whose private life
is above reproach, yet he is turned
down, and the keenest regret Of all is
that is has been done by the very
men of all others who ought to have
supported him. Multnomah, the one
county where the agricultural inter
ests have smallest proportional vote,
stood by him nobly, but Washington
and Marion and Benton and many 9TH
srs that ought to have each given him
almost enough to have wiped out the
majority against him, fell far short
of doing what they should. 1t is one
of the freak results of a peculiar cam.
paign.
The Chamberlain meeting held at
Vert's hall last Thursday afternoon
was the largest held in this city dur
ing the campaign. The governor is
probably the most persuasive cam
paigner in the state, and he patted his
hearers on the back and told them |
what nice people they were, and what
a nice fellow he was, and what lot
he had done for them and now if they
wanted to show that they approved
what he had done then the way to do
Z was to vote for him. People may
Iay that speeches do not influence
'otes, but the governor is proof posi-
i've to the contrary. The states bust
less has been no better managed dur.
ng his administration than during 9th.
II administrations, but the governor
makes the people believe he is the on
y simon pure executive who ever sat
n the chair, and then they go out and
'ot for him as if it were the privilege
If their lives. His speeches are vote
yetters and the proofs of it are the
election returns.

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have Ill
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close confine-
rnent to home, Office or factory, and In
consequence the stomach must be treated
In a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, In fact In every weary,
thin and thin -blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS a result

long. The demand for nutritive aid Is

stomach for the work of taking up from

for the remedy. There wore certain
