Secretary Taft is on a tour of
the world and will reach Port
land today. At eight o'clock
this evening he will address a
crowd of 5000 Oregonians in the
big Armory hall. Secretary Taft
is easily the second leading Am
erican Of today and if President
Roosevelt persists in refusing
another nomination he will in all
probability become the first. The
president has made public the
fact that Mr.. Taft is his choice
for the great Office and if Mr..
Roosevelt absolutely refuses it,
we should all turn toward Taft
and continue prosperity.

LAND VALUES INCREASING


The advance in land values
which has marked the progress
of the exceptionally prosperous
agricultural conditions that have
prevailed since early spring viii
have no reason to be checked
this year. Judging from the
great crop of wheat and barley
that is being harvested there Is
every reason to believe that the
present price Of land will not on
ly be maintained but win greatly
advance. It is the good crops
selling at good prices that attract
so many to land investments and
this demands not only from the
homeseeker but also from the
the speculator and investor who,
when they put their money
into Gillian county lands, know
that it is a safe investment and
viii bring them good returns in
q short time. The farmers of
Gillian county have made money
! this year and where money is
made, those who have money
will invest as soon as it is known
to them. Cheap lands and the
great desiie with all classes of
people to become land owners,
together with the demonstrated
ability to produce great crops un-
der conditions at all favorable,
accounts for the land craze that
is bringing so many people from
the East. Prices of good farm
lands at $25 or even $50 per acre
are said by some to be too much
because they will not pay good
interest on on the investment.
but this is not true. 1t is OBJ
served that the good practical
farmers who have made money
from their farms are the ones
who investin lands of this price,
it is also observed that as these
lands are farmed in the right
way they keep on moving up as
the cheaper lands advance in
| price. Farmers who two years
ago or even one, year ago would
have sold their farms for $12,
SIS or $18 per acre are now ask
ing from $40 to $50 and not
a few are getting it. This is the
! time to invest in Gillian county
lands. The belief in a producing
value of land is the real incentive
to the desire to invest money in
lands. Everyone here is salts
fed as to the productive ability
of Gillian county land. People
outside are awakening to the fact
that this is a great country and
why some people are foolish
enough to knock" their owr
county is a problem. Don't
knock" but boost.

cinnatf would be followed by reduce tion from Eastefn territory generally. We believe that . reduction from Cin- cinnati and tho East would result in an arbitrary reduction from the South Atlantic Coast by the authorities of the Southern States. as, in fact. is already proposed.
 aAn important question to be deter. mined is whether on the articles ac- tually manufactured at Richmond there is any competition with Cinc,1nati The Southern lines interested in this sit. uation, therefore, suggest that the committee representing the merchants of Cincinnati should by proper means develop exactly what the competition is on specific manufactures. Your as- eociation is, of course, advised as to whether the articles maufactured in Richmond are also manufactured In and shipped from Cincinnati. If the same equivalent articles are not shipped from Cincinnati. then there can be no competition"
 Tn concluding its answer to the let ter from Presidents Finley and Smith, the association stated:
 Entitled To Just Rates.
 ''The plants in the section you refer to are entitled to fair and reasonable rates, but you cannot deny this section fair and reasonable rates into cmmon territory upon the theory that to do so might disrupt certain conditions. We are entitled to reasonable and just rates and to have all determinations removed. even though such result would follow In this simple state ment is diclosed the real reason that has operated for years against fair adjustment of rates from this section to common territory into the South east.
 This statement also Illustrates the evil effects of having the same inter ests control the rates from Cincinnati and Richmond into the Southeast. It also shows that the Western lines are not allowed to play their proper part in the matter of competition. but that unreasonable rates are maintained from Cincinnati to Atlanta and other South eastern points by the railroad inter ests controlling the rates from Rich mond, in order not to disrupt condi- tions--in other words, an effort Is made to restrain interstate trade and commerce from this section Into the Southeast in favor of Virginia cities and Eastern territory in general
 with reference to the concluding para graph of your letter, will state that even though the necessity of the entlre shipping anu 1aNeiihB pupiiS for increased facilities and greater safety be great, yet you are not jus tified in continuing rates that are un- reasonable and unjustiy discriminatory. The laws says that your rates must be reasonable and just and that you must not discriminate To seek shelter un- der the cloak of public necessity in declining to remove proven case of unreasonable rates and discrimination Is not meeting the issue fairly, nor, In our opinion. wisely.
 We are not seeking low rates. Our demand has been for reasonable rates, and rates that will not unjustly dis criminate against this section; rates from this section into the Southeast that bear a just and equitable relation to the rates from Eastern and Vir- ginia cities.
 We had hoped to settle this mat ter through friendly conference"

CHARGES SAID TO BE ABSURD

Tn all probability the Montgomery Traction Company will reshfne the night service beginning tonight on all the different lines in the city. A representative of the Traction Compa- ny said yesterday he saw no reason why the cars should not now be run At night as well as in the day. as there was now sufficient number of men here to make the two shifts.
 s.The cars have not been running at night lately" said the Traction man. mot because we feared any vio- fence to the men operating them, but because we have been short of men and we could not expect them to work both night and day. When the cars start out tomorrow night We may be annoyed somewhat by ruffians in cer- tain parts of the city, but we antici- pate nothing serious"
 President Apperson, Of the Traction Company, said yesterday that the story that any effort had been made to intimidate the men was so absurd that 1t was hardly worth taking seri- ously.
 There is no way we could keep these men here if they desired to leave our service. They have per feet right to leave the barn at any time they choose, although we have told them we much prefer to have them remain there and not to mingle with the strikers, as It would result in stirring up discord.
 "we have no objection to the strikers addressing the men on the cars and stating their side of the case if they will do so In gentle manly manner, although I do not think they will gain anything by do- ing this.

They came back to the barn and tried to induce the men there to join the strikers. These men were then told that such a procedure would not be permitted and were told to leave.
 = Forty-Three More Men Arrive.
 Twenty-three cars were running yesterday and forty-three new men arrived to add to the men now on duty, taking the place of the strikers. Nineteen of these men arrived in the morning and twenty-four came In the evening. They will be ready to go to work this morning, when. Tn all
 
 will be running on the regular sched- ule.
 ''The only reason all the ears were not running today" said Manager Ragland, was on account of the d's- agreeable weather. The continuous rain kept the people in their houses and the cars that were running were amply able to supply the demanS. The park cars and other cars were ready to go out at any time and the men were there to run them. but un : der the weather conditions 1t was not deemed necessary to send them out Of the barns" .. orgafiizer Fleming said yesterday that he had no further statement to make except that he still felt conf dent the strikers would eventually win their fight against the company.
 "You will see many more or tne new men leaving within the next few days, assI still say they were orousn here under false pretenses ana are anything but satisfied with the con d,tiof, of affairs," said he.
 Fifteen more men are on the way to work for the company and are ex- rected to reach here this morning.
