The Value of Franchises.

The one conspicuous thing that
sticks out in the confession of the
San Francisco grafters is the value
of franchises to public service cor
porations. The idea usually convey
ed to the public by these corporations
is that the franchises are absolutely
worthless, but, If they are allowed
to have them, they will make them
valuable for the sole benefit of the
people. incidentally, however, they
will not refuse such profits as may
accrue to the company. But, for
these worthless franchises, the sew
eral corporations have willingly paid
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
the grafters and there can be no ex-
cuse after this, for not payinglike
amounts to the city for the benefit
of the taxpayers. There is no reason
why franchises should not be sold to
the highest bidders.

Yaquina Again a Port.

The arrival OF the steam schooner
Francis ii. Leggett in Yaquina Bay
Wednesday TO take on cargo of
lumber for San Francisco, marks the
resumption of traffic from that port
after a Quiescent period of more than
ten years. With the exception of
some small vessels plying in local
coastwise trade, such as the Robarts.
OF Florence, no loaded vessel out
ward bound has crossed the YaQuina
bar for a decade.
The Leggett has been chartered
for the Yaquina-San Francisco run
by the Curtiss Lumber Company, and
will carry i.5O0.O feet OF lumber
on the first trip. II will spend sew
eral days in loading, and the lum-
her Is daily being taken to YaQuina
on the Corvallis & Eastern from the
oompany's big mills at Mill City, s5
miles east OF Albany.
1t is said that the plan of the Cur
tiss Company, IL the Leggett makes
successful trips, is TO put other ves-
sells on the run and transport all its
southbound lumber in that way. The
resumption OF traffic at Yaquina will

Woman Suffrage i'm Finland.


Although the women suffragists
have thus far been rebuffed by the
liberal party in Great Britain, as we
formerly noted, they have attained
their aim in the grand duchy of Fin
land. and their first exercise of the
parliamentary franchise, which has
since taken place, presents some in
teresting results.
1t is we'll known that soon after
the issuance of the reform manifesto
of October 30, 1906, Nicholas II re-
versed his policy toward Finland and
gave back to It the autonomy which
had been guaranteed by Alexander
I. The first use made by the Firms
of their semi-independence was to
adopt an amendment to their consti-
tuition by which the full suffrage was
conceded to women. Not only were
women made electors, but they were
also qualified to enter the popular
branch of the Finnish parliament.
They availed themselves of the privi-
lege at the recent lecetion by re-
turning about a score of members Of
their own sex. Ror the first time,
then. in history women will sit In
national legislature. 1t will be re-
membered that no woman has ever
become a member of our house OF
representatives, although women
possess the full franchise In four
states, namely, Colorado, Wyoming,
Idaho and Utah.
We often hear II asserted by oppo-
nents of woman suffrage that the ma
jority of women do not want the
franchise and would not use 1t IL
they had II. The assertion Is not
borne out by the experience of the
four states that we have named, and
it has been refuted emphatically In
Finland, where a much larger pro-
portion of registered women than OF
men went to the ballot box. Had
they chosen, the female voters could
have returned majority of their
own sex to the popular chamber,
but in most districts they seem to
have preferred to vote for men.
The parliamentary career Of the
women members will Of course be
watched with lively interest, espe-
clally If any of them should become
ministers. From one house OF the
Finnish parliament women are still
debarred, namely, the senate, the
of which are not elected,
but appointed by the czar. This last
surviving discrimination will doubt
less be effaced should any of the
legislators win great dis
tinction. Nicholas ii is known 10
have a profound respect for the po-
lltical abilities OF his mother, the
empress dowager, who was Princess
Dagmar of Denmark. sister of Queen
Alexandra.-New York Sun.

Severe Storm Near Baker Does Some
Damage.

Damage.
James Richardson, of Bridgeport.
one of the best known farmers OF
the county, who was driving into
Baker City during the storm yester-
day afternoon, when nearing the
Carey farm. six miles south, says he
met the worst hail storm he ever ex-
perienced. He had to stop his team
and the horses stood for n time up
to their belly in water and hail
stones. A few hundred yards furth'
er along he found the roads dusty
again.
A bolt of lightning split the big
tree in front of James Bowden's real
estate Office yesterday afternoon dur
ing the storm. at the time of the big
thunder clap. The electric current
drove its way into the ground and
plowed a hole you can step in. The
tree shed splinters like tears.-Bak'
