MANUFACTURING.

to time, deploring the almost
total lack of manufacturing en-
terprises in Oregon. Time and
again this, that or the other thing
has been set forth as enterprises
in manufacturing which might
be easily established and sue
cessfully conducted to the en-
richment of those Immediately
interested and the development
lof the natural resources of the
state.
| These things are usually pre-
sented by men who know moth
| ing of the conditions which must
attend the establishment of such
enterprises, and who have not
been long enough time in the
state to learn what conditions do
exist, and what manufacturing
resources we really possess and
might safely and proftably de-
yelop.
Assuming that capital stands
ready to lay hold of such pro-
jects the moment the conditions
are such as give rational promise
of success, we may direct our in
uiuiries to the conditions neces-
sary to successful manufactur-
ling.
| Cheap raw materials must be
near at hand or be easily obtain
able; markets for products must
be near or easily reached; de-
4 mand for manufactured products
must be great enough and perma-
nent enough, or easily made so,
to consume the output; both
skilled and unskilled labor must
be present or readily obtainable,
j These are fundamental condi-
tions and must exist with all they
suggest-as adequate transporta-
tion facilities-before manufac-
turing projects may he under
taken with any reasonable hope
of s1ccess,.
i Oregon has had many instances
of failure ard loss because one or
more of these conditions have
been overlooked or ignored by
those attempting to establish
manufacturing enterprises. At
tempts to establish the manufac-
ture of woolen goods have been
prolific of loss and disheartening
failure. This has been ascribed
to ''bad business management
when in truth the management
was blameless. The cause OF
failure was because some of the
conditions necessary to success
had been disregarded.
Oregon is yet a young state.
Considering that in truth she has
had TO fly with her own wings
she has made remarkable pro-
gress in establishing and devel.
oping manufacturing enterprises
Naturally attention was first
: given to the development of the
lumber interests. What has been
done on this line makes a show
ing which is most creditable to
the energy and wisdom of those
engaged in that trade. -.
j Other lines Of manufactures
will follow, presently. Indeed
some important manufacturing
projects are already firmly estab.
lished and we'll on the way te
larger things and wider success.
| But, for all this, Oregon has
other ard better resources than
her manufacturing possibilities.
These invite and should receive
the attention of our people, for
lit is to the development of these
!, | possibilities our people must look
for the acquisition of competency
and contentment and happiness.

HONESTY IN PUBLIC LIFE.

The past year has clearly and
most foreibly demonstrated that
it pays to be honest, both in public
and private life. In the wave of
unprecedented prosperity which
we have enjoyed as nation dur
ing the past year men and women
have lost sight of honesty, the
fundamental principle of success
full business, and gone wild in
their eagerness for wealth. To
such people the present unex-
pected ripple in finance came like
a clap of thunder from a clear
sky, hence the individual, as well
as the bankers Of the coun-
try who were indulging in
ways that were dark and
tricks that were vain" were forced
to uncover their guilty heads and
receive that just condemnation
which is sure to the transgressor
either in this world or in the
world to come.
How, humiliating it must Ee to
such people is evidenced byJames
Hazen Hyde who robbed the Eq-
uitable Life Insurance Company
that he might live in luxury and
ease, who now as a fugitive from
justice and heart-broken, offers
to return $1,OOO,O 900 if the suits
against him could be dismissed.
Our own Horace Greeley McKin-
ley, now hunted by relentless
Uncle Sam" like wild beast at
bay, would, no doubt, give all
his earthly possessions could he
once more look honest people in
the face, and with a clear con-
science, lay his head upon the pill
low at night and rest in peace.

nor should the man who CANDLES

he expects to get something for

If the guilty alone 2cfered for
their misdeeds it would not be so

through the pa ses of history we
are confronted with the testimony
of some father or brother gone

How different the man who
recognizes the claim humanity,

home to the bosom of his family,
tired but conscious that the
righteous shall be rewarded when

FARMER WANTS $1,000
FOR LOSS OF WHISPERS
Sues Barber for Damages for Shaving
of Beard He Had Spent
Twenty Years in
Growing

NEW YORK, Sept 4-When Farmer
George Palmer left Parksville early last
month for his first visit to New York In
twenty-one years there adorned his chin
beard that was his pride and boast. It
had taken him twenty years to grow 1t
and it had always been pointed out to
summer boarders together with other
choice bits of Sullivan county scenery.
Palmer arrived here primed for good
time, but was panied by the fiippant re-
marks he heard concerning his whiskers
Now, up in Parksville the beard was
held in reverence, so the farmer decided
that he must spruce up a bit. He hurried
to the first barber shop he saw, which
happened to be the Reisler establishment
at Broadway and Thirty-sixth street. The
tonsorial artist who tackled Palmer at
once started in to tell funny stories.
BY this time the whirl of the city had
entered the farmers head and he was
drowsy.
"Cut it short" he replied, and then fell
off into a sleep.
While Palmer slept the barber removed
the accumulation of twenty years from
his face, and gave him fine, clean shave.
Palmer consulted Lawyer Jacob s..
Strahl of $50 Broadway, and as result
has instituted suit for $1,000 damages
against John S. Reisler, proprietor of the
barber shop.

LENOX, Mass, Sept 4.-Attorney

The attorney generals statement fol-
lows:
ION August IA Judge Lands asked in
substance, that the department of JUS
tice consider portions of the transcript
of testimony in the case of the United
States against the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana in order to determine
whether the Chicago & Alton Railroad
company, its officers and employees were
entitled to the benefits of an agreement
assuring it and them of immunity
against criminal prosecution in connec-
tion with the granting of certain re-
bates to the Standard company. The
department, in compliance with the de-
sire of Judge Lands, examined the
above mentioned records and carefully
Investigated the entire subject and as a
result of such investigation the attor-
ney general on August 30 wrote to Ed
win w. Sims, United States attorney at
Chicago, informing him in substance
that the agreement was shown to have
been made in June or July, 1906, by T.
B. Morrison, Mr.. Sims predecessor in

pears to have been duly authorized at
the time by the department.; that In the

ment had greatly facilitated the indict-
ment and conviction of the Standard Oil

tions of the evidence might be fairly
open to unfavorable comment, the de-
partment regarded the government as
bound in good faith and also as mat
ter of public policy to give effect to the
agreement.
"Mr Sims was instructed to read this
letter when the grand jury reconvened
on September 8, and to take such fur
ther action to the foregoing end as
might seem to the court and to himself
appropriate in the premises.
"The department learns that Mr.. Sims
did not comply with these instructions
by reason of his having had called to
his attention very recently certain new,
and in his judgment, material facts
which he thought should be submitted
to the department for its further con-
sideration before it's conclusion should
be finally announced. For this purpose
he asked and was granted by the court
a delay of three weeks. The depart

the facts thus ascertained by Mr.. Sims.

SACRAMENTO, Sept 4-There was
change of scene of the storm center In
connection with the national irrigation
congress today. This time the committee
on resolutions held the stage while peace
prevailed at the sessions of the main
gathering.
The committee was in session the
greater part of the day, and the feature
of their work was the squelching OF the
"1Sickers" from Owens valley and the In
dorsement of the government reclama-
tion and forestry service and the policy
of President Roosevelt and the adminis-
tration in connection with the service.
Another important action was the lay

by Arthur Briggs of California providing
that the congress ask that the action OF
the department of agriculture In regard
to the sulphuring of dried fruits be modi-
fled and rendered less unjust to the pro-
ducers. Mr.. Briggs made an earnest ap-
peal in behalf of the resolution, but 1t
met the same fate accorded 1t earlier In
the morning at the meeting of the Cali
fornia delegates.
The airing of the alleged grievances OF
the people of the Owens valley has been
awaited with much interest, especially as
