PORTIAND'S SEIFIsHNESS.

In the railroad rate Investigations
held during the past week by the in
terstate commerce commission at
Spokane. the newspapers of Portland
have had nothing but ridicule and
srar's for the effort of the inland
empire to remedy the rate evil which
has cursed the interior for the past
quarter of a century.
Portland is to blame for the termi-
raj rate which has robbed the con-
sumers of the interior of millions of
dollars in unjust and extortionate
freight tariffs since the o. r. & N.
railway was completed through Ore
gon and Washington.
Portland jobbers dictated the rates
which the .. r. & N. put into effect,
and by that robber rate every effort
20 start wholesale and jobbing indus
tries in eastern Oregon has been sti-
fled.
Inland empire shippers who buy in
the east must pay freight to Portland
and return to the point of destination,
thus making Portland a favored point
to the detriment of every point in
the interior.
IN THE NEW DEAL THAT HAS
BEEN INAUGURATED IN OREGON
IT WAS HOPED THAT PORTLAND
WOULD ASSIST IN REMOVING
THE DISCRIMINATING FREIGHT
RATES WHICH HAVE THROTTLEp
THE INLAND EMPIRE FOR so
LONG.
But ONCE AGAIN WE ARE DIS
APPOINTED. PORTLAND HAS
NOTHING PUT RIDICULE FOR
OUR EFFORTS.
Pendleton, Walla Walla and Spo-
kane are entitled to terminal rates.
Portland and Puget sound cities have
nonopolized. the commercial interests
of the northwest so long that they
feel that they have a perpetual right
to do so.
They forget the growth of the coun-
try which has released the shipper and
-he consumer from their bondage.
Portland should at least assist ir
removing the abuses which she has so
long fostered. and should make an
effort to hold by friendship the trade
ard prestige which she cannot much
longer hold by favoritism with rail-
road managers.

FUEL MADE FROM PEAT.

A company known as the Anthra-
cite Peat Fuel company has pur-
chased SO acres of the richest peat
land situated in orange county. two
and a half miles north of Huntington
Beach, and has installed an up-to-date
peat fuel plant, says the Los Angeles
Times.
The company has been incorporated
for the purpose of manufacturing and
selling in California an improved
composition peat fuel, and has ac-
quired the sole right to use in the
state the carpenter patent, which
covers the latest and most approved
process. by which the ordinary peat
soil is readily and economically con-
verted into a high-grade commercial
fuel.
This process consists of the COM
bining of certain inexpensive chem
icals in fixed proportions with a nat
ural peat soil. forming the same into
convenient shape for handling and
use. The process Is result of many
years application and experiments by
practical men, who have had for their
object the invention of a substitute
for coal, which would be equal in
heating power to the best coal, at the
same time having the distinction of
producing no smoke, SCOT, or gas, and
being entirely free from clinkers and
other waste material. In other words,
supplying an ideal fuel, and at a cost
less than coal or any other acceptable
fuel now in general use.

DUBOIS OPPORTUNITY.

Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho,
whose gallant fight against Mormon
ism has given him a world wide rep
utation, may now do his country an
inestimable service by taking the lee
Iure platform for the purpose of ex-
posing the political corruption of the
Mormon element in Idaho and Utah.
Senator La Toilette has given the
people of the United States a price
less education on the railroad rate
bill fight by his series of lectures. Du-
bois is now confronted with the same
beckoning opportunity on the Nor
mon issue.

The association of women opposed
to the equal suffrage movement is
acting in a very narrow and non-pro-
gressive way in placing obstacles in
the way of those who desire equal
suffrage. 1t is a sort of "dog-in-the-
manger" policy, which does not wish
to vote and will not let other women
vote. If 100 women in the state de-
sire to vote, should they not be allow
ed the privilege? What right has one
woman to say what another shall or
shall not dc, in the exercise of citizen
ship? The way should be open and
then those desiring to vote might do
so and those not so desiring would be
at liberty to stay at home.

remarks Councilman Joseph Ell, when

work of paving is still ahead of u.s."

WHAT is ARTESIAN WATER?

Many persons suppose that the
name artesian, as applied to a well,
contains some allusion to the prin-
clple on which it operates. but that
is a mistake. The name comes from
Artois, in France. anciently called
Artesium, where the first well of this
kind was dug.
A good illustration of how the well
operates is furnished by the water
pipes in the upper stories of a house.
The water will rise in these pipes to
the level Of the reservoir from which
the water comes.
In some localities there are per-
vious strata lying between impervi-
Gus beds, and the water percolates
