Governor Talks of Law

In a recent conversation the gov
ernor said:
"yes. expect to enforce the law
requiring the railroads to give an
nual statements OF their business.
My attention was called a few days
ago to the fact that the railroads
were net complying with the law AMI
There is no question that the law is
still in force and that It is the duty
OF every railroad doing business in
Oregon to make these annual reports
TO the secretary Of state. This has
not been done.
81 have therefore written to Secre-
tary of State Dunbar, calling his at
tention to the matter and requesting
him to call upon the railroads 10
make reports. In my lester l said
that If the railroads failed or refused
to comply with the law I would then
take steps to enforce The penalties
prescribed. My letter was written
Friday and probably has not yet
reached Mr.. Dunbar, as 1 understood
that he went to Astoria TO spend
Sunday"

Acting under an almost forgotten
statute. Governor Chamberlain has
instituted steps which may precipi-
tate gitHnis struggle with the rail-
roads in Oregon, says the Salem Jour
nal
In 1885 law was passed requir-
ing every railroad i'm the state to file
with the secretary of state an annual
report showing the amoun- of busi-
ness transacted, the value of its
properties, the receipts and eXpendl-
tures and the physical condition of
the road, together with much other
important Information. This law
though still In force, has been ig-
nored for the past eight wears. Gov
ernor Chamberlain now proposes &c
see that the law is enforced and he
has requested Secretary of State
Dunbar to notify every railroad il
Oregon that unless the reports are
forthcoming steps will be taken tC
exact the penalties prescribed by tn,
'tatute.
For every failure on the part of :
railroad TO file the annual report %
its business the law provides a pen,
ally of no; less than $4,000 and no
more than $1,000. For every fsHs'
return by railroad there is fur,
lther penalty of not less than S5pDl
nor more lhan $4,000. or imprir IN
;nent of the offending officials 10,
from two to five years.
Has Investigated Law.
The attention OF Governor Cham.
herlain was called recently 10 thi!
forgotten law and a careful iuvesti
cation of the statute was ma De. Th'
governor has satisfied himself tha
the law is still in effect and that Il!
the states chief executive he is IL
duty bound to enforce ID TO the let
ter. Such enforcement viii have {
material effect on relations br1weer
the public and transportation compa-
nies.
The principle is firmly settled thn
common carriers are subject to con.
trol and regulation by the state; tha
charges must be reasonable and with
out discrimination and thai the fix,
ing Of rates and fares is within tn,
power Of the legislature.
The new interstate commerce law
even goes 20 far as to empower tht
commission TO require the accounts
of railroads shall be kept in cer-
tain way so that the commission
may know exactly what expenditures
are for. and that statements cannot
be jugsled. This is, it is said. is
equally important with the obtaining
of the statements themselves, for un-
less the items are known which make
up the different accounts it would be
difficult to arrive at the real earning
capacity Of the road.
II is therefore necessary that the
exact condition, receipts and expen
ditures of railroads operating in this
state De known, and from what
order TO fairly consider the matter
of reasonabieness of fare and rates.
1t has been claimed that some roads
in oregon are earning 20 TO 30 per
cent on the Investment, besides pay

Chinese Etiquette.

Very curious are some of the rules OF
etiquette observed by Cinnamon. Emile
Bard. who has written a book on the sub
jeCt of Chinese life. says that in nine
cases out of ten, however. the form of
etiquette has replaced the substance.
with the Chinese, a refusal or unpleasant
truth must be expressed evasiyely. If a
Chinaman does not wish to accommo~
date a friend he never gives the true
reason for his refusal; that would be
discourteous. He lies politely. The
ceremOniOus forms OF expression used
in ordinary conversation seem very
amusing to the European listener. 1t is
fixed rule that one must speak of him
self and of all belonging to him in the
humblest of terms and use the most ex-
allied language in referring to the per-
son or property of another. Whether
two mandarins or two beggars meet and
accost each other this is a sample Of
their conversation: What is your hon
orable name?" Your insignificant
brothers name is Wang" where is
your noble dwelling?" The hover IN
which | hide myself is in -" desig-
mating the place. How many precious
sons have you?' Il have only five stupid
little pigs"

The eclipse" he said, may only last

him during these precious. minutes. One
man makes hurried pencil sketches. An
other man photographs. A third man takes
observations, while a fourth jots down his
remarks.

certificates of the company, however,
were signed two names. those of Rob-
ert l.. Lindsay, president and Orlando
Van Hise, secretary.
While there remained much detail
work to be done, | believed we had a
pretty good line on the activities of
Lindsay. In addition to the points
Col. GraysOn. a banker, that James
Lindsay had a large number of old
land patents concealed in the safe of
an IrontOn lawyer There was no
doubt of the elder Lindsay's having
connived at the removal from the land
office of thousands Of patents by his
son while Lindsay, Sr., was registrar,
and it is still a question in my mind
whether the father had not been the
actual originator of the steal and
turned the execution of it over to his
son. But even had this been true
the statute of limitations had run
against his offense, and there was no
use in wasting time securing evil
dence against the father, except such
as might be OF benefit in convicting the
son.
But, clear as these conditions were
there remained two important facts
confronting us One of these was
that while Robert Lindsay was the
head and front of the great conspiracy,
there were conspirators almost as
important. The other was that sound
legal cases against all of them were
yet to be made. J had abstracts of
title made to "a parcels of land, and
by following these and others through
the records of the Washington land
Office had clearly established the fOrg-
cries of signatures 10 applications and
deeds. This record searching was te-
dious and surrounded with many tech
nicalities-so many In fact that AT one
stage of the invest cation ! suggested
that another man more familiar with
them be assigned TO the work but Sec
retary SchurZ declined 20 relieve me

the building and the grounds around it
were deserted. The origin of the fire
in each case was mysterious, and no
one ever was punished, owing to the
great influence of the leaguers in pre-
ing an investigation.
In each of the other counties in
which the ring had operated the court
houses had been destroyed in the
same manner and at the same hour
building. In some cases they had
been burned twice. Courthouse burn
ing came to be such a common occur
renee it excited little comment, but
throughout the section there was a
very distinct but well suppressed no.
ton that the fires were of incendiary
origin, and that the tire-bugs were
working in the interests of the land
league. When the government in
vestigation started these crimes were
too old to be available in furnishing
the criminals, even had it been pos
sible to establish their identity, but
they served to show the length to
which the land leaguers would go.
This wholesale destruction of records
rendered it practically impossible to
trace titles accurately in these coun-
ties.
About this time / learned of a
scheme, fathered by Robert Lindsay,
to build a narrow gauge railroad from
Salem, Dent county, through Shannon.
Carter and Ripley counties, to inter
sect the Iron Mountain road at the
Arkansas line. Elaborately engraved
stock certificates were issued and
some of them sold. The road, as
projected on paper, was to traverse a
section in which the land was practi-
ring. In connecting this railroad pro-
motion plan with the land thefts
reasoned two ways: First, with so much
of the land along the line of sur
vey in his control and available
through crooked methods, Lindsay CAL
culated on developing the district by
building the railroad; and, second, to
advertise the construction of the road
in the near future would greatly en-
hance the market price of the lands
he was unloading on the suckers"
This price had ranged from so cents
to five dollars an acre. 1t was clear
that the lands along the proposed road
would Immediately jump to a much
higher figure if the gullible public
could be convinced such a road was
to be built, and | formed the opinion
that the Missouri & Arkansas" railroad
would never go beyond the paper
stage of construction. To the stock
