WHEELING IN
BAD SHAPE
Streets In Places tiesped With Debris
and Buildings Carried From No
One Knows Where.

WHEELING, March 19.-Tae food
OF 1907. the most disastrous in the
history Of Wheeling, is now but a
memory. The receding waters have
a residue of thick, Shiny mud coating
on the streets, in places depth Of a
foot and more. The loss Of life and
property has been the greatest in the
history of Wheeling from any one
cause. Fire added to the disaster Of
the high water and 1t would be i'm
possible .to state with any great de-
gree Of extctitude Just what the loss
has been. 1t has been estimated at
four millions and 1t may go even be-
yond this. Fire added the foods loss.
the destruction Of the plant of the
Scott Lumber Company, at Bridge
port, Causing a loss of about $4,000
and The fire at the Warwick pottery
entailirg loss of about $4,000. The
latter loss was fully covered by il.
surance and the former about half CO :
cred.
The closing Of mills and factories
and tie general tying up of business
caused a loss running up into the mil.
lions. In the retail business district
many OF the stores suspended business
and those that were open had no Gus
toners. Some plants were flooded and
lost nearly week causing many hun
dreds CT thousands OF loss. The
Wholesale district was flooded and put |
out Of business for four days, causing a |
loss OF many more thousands Of dol.
lars and in addition to this much prop
erty vas either destroyed or damaged
the loss in pianos alone running up
into thousands.
The loss and suffering Is much great
er than that of the food of 1884, al
though that food exceeded the food Of |
1907 by two feet in height. The food
of 1907. however, found the people
wholly unprepared and the water

was going to Clarksburg with Mamie

commission has not been able to
cleanse the transportation situation
in that state.
What is needed is a law with teeth
in it; a law which any humble citi-
zen may invoke in the court nearest
TO him. There is a maze of red tape
and needless technicalities in the
procedure Of any large commission.
Before the grievance OF the lndivid-
ual shipper is brought into
through commission, the sting OF
the abuse has been forgotten and
overshadowed by the infinite compu-
cation Of the procedure.
If the legislature will pass a real
railroad regulation Iaw-one which
makes the company liable for viola
ton, and which gives the humblest
shipper in the state the power and
protection needed in bringing his
grievances into court. Oregon will get
much better results than from a COM
mission.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP PAYS.

Railroad companies in the United
States lose no opportunity to create
prejudice against government owner
ship, very truly remarks the Sacra-
mento Bee. They try to convince
the public that it does not give satis-
factory results in those foreign coun-
tries where it prevails. But a useful
lesson in this regard may be had
from the experience of Australia.
Prosperity prevails in this Union
to an unexampled extent. but the
railroads are not reducing charges on
that account, although their profits
are enormous. In australia, on the
other hand. the premier recently an
nou9ced that in view of the buoyant
state of railroad finances reductions
amounting to S75O,OOO would be made
by the government in beth freights
and fares, effecting a total to the
public of S1,5OO,OOO a year
Australia is so well pleased with
government ownership that a bill re-

WHY DO COMMISSIONS FAIL?

In the state Of Ohio, with 912s
miles Of railroad, the railroad COM
mission is not success. There is
no state In the Union having more
corruption in transportation than
Ohio. II has been impossible to pre-
vent the Standard oil people from
giving and taking rebates, from
throttling independent companies in
conjunction with the railroads and
from debauching courts, commissions
and officials having the regulation Of
the roads.
The Pennsylvania commission has
not prevented rank determinations,
unjust rates, rebates, combines, merg-
ers. arbitrary tariffs which favor the
railroads against the shipper and
other forms OF abuse which It is
hoped TO prevent in oregon through
q railroad commission.

THE WORD SILHOUETTE.

The making of silhouettes can
hardly be classed among the lost arts,
since there is so little art ABOUT them.
The best of them represent the hu-
man profile in a crude way, and they
were regarded as rather a cheap kind
Of pictures even in the days when
they were most popular.
Indeed, the very worG silhouette
means something poor and cheap and
It had its origin in a spirit of ridi-
cule. II is taken from Etienne de
silhouette, who was a French cabinet
minister in the year 1859, when the
treasury of France was very low be-
cause of costly wars with Britain and
Prussia and by the extravagances of
the government.
When Etienne de Silhouette became
minister of finance he set ABOUT max
ing great reforms in the public ex-
penditures. He was, b. nature, a
very "close" man, and he went to
public expenses that he brought great
ridicule upon himself, and finally
anything that was cheap and poor
was referred to as la Silhouette.
A very crude picture was popular
at that time. 1t was made by tracing
the shadow or profile Of face pro-
jected by the light of a candle on a
sheet af white paper and the outline
defined with a pencil. This was such
a very poor and cheap sort Of pic
ture that it was at once called a sill
houette in further derision of the very
saving French minister, and the name
has stuck"
It is an instance Of the curious de-
rivation Of some words In common
use, and this unkind slur on a man
who was really trying to introduce
needed reforms in the spending of the
public money has long been accepted
as a good and proper word. Indeed,
there is no other word used for pic
lures Of this kind, although there
were such pictures long before Mon
seur Etienne de Silhouette had his
name attached TO them in so embar-

No MORE CHEAP LAND.

Senate bill No. 15S, by Senator Ma
larkey of Portland, provides for the
sale of a large amount of land in
a road grant in Coos county for S2.50
per acre.
The East Oregonian urges the de-
feat of this bill on general princi-
pies. No timber land nor school
land in the state of Oregon should
ever be sold for as low a price as
$3.50 per acre. 1t is ridiculous for
the state to sell valuable land for this
price, when it is worth from 10 to
100 times this sum in the open mar
ket.
The state of Washington fixed the
minimum price of school land at $40
per acre, years ago, and has reaped
an excellent income for its school
children from this wise move. The
same quality of land has been sold
in Oregon for but s1.25 per acre until
within the past two years, when the
price was raised to $3.50.
This Coos county road land may
not he fit for settlement, but it is
worth more than $3.50 per acre for
grazing or timber The state should
get something near its value or keep

But TWO NORMAL SCHOOLS.

The sentiment Of the Oregon leg
islature is crystalizing on but two
normal schools, one in eastern and
one in western Oregon.
There is no getting away from that
decision. it seems.
The senate yesterday afternoon in
structed the senate ways and means
committee to report appropriations
on but two normal schools and this
viii be done.
The Miller bill now before the sem
ate provides that these two normals
shall be at Pendleton and Ashland.
The senate in instructing its ways
and means committee for but two
normals practically went on record
for the Miller bill, which is said to
represent the sentiment Of Governor
Chamberlain, Of Portland, of practi-
cally all the leading members Of the
legislature, and that the Miller bill
win pass, is now almost assured.
Pendleton did not originate the
