Railroad Bonds

WHICH?

From Mosdy MagaSine. September, 1907
Arguments advanced a few
years ago, contcmporaneously with
the conditions prevailing at that
time, appeared logically to favor
railroad bonds over real estate mort
cages as investments; so under pres
ent conditions the recent steady de-
cline in the price of railroad bonds
argues logically in favor of real
estate mortgages. The inter
est rate is usually higher on real estate
mortgages by q 10 per cent

j. B. Powles, head Of the firm of J. B.
Powles & Co., Seattle commission mer-
chants, recently completed a trip
through California, which was remark
able in many respects, but notable emil
nently on account of the wonderful work
accomplished by his machine, which was
a twenty-horsepower 1907 model Frank
lin machine.
During the tour, which covered several
thousand miles, over 60 streams were
forded and only in one instance was the
assistance of horses needed, the machine
on other occasions passing the streams
by it's own power and without any acct
dent or breakdown, although in several
cases the fording was a difficult one.
Some very bad roads were encountered,
but the car throughout worked to the
very best satisfaction and there was not
a single accident, with the exception of
one time when the car got into an I'M
usual mire which was utterly impaSS-
able, and then some assistance was re-
quired before the party could proceed
on their journey. The machine also
crossed one pass at an elevation Of
three thousand feet without any serious
accident. The pass was forbidden to
automobiles, and consequently the tour
of it was quite an achievement. Mr..
Powles is loud in the praises Of the ma
chine and cannot say too much for the
good work accomplished by it.
The tour Of Southern California was
made during the winter at the con-
clusion of the unusually rainy season
which has been visited this year upon
the state. The party shipped their car
and went by train to San Francisco,
where they secured the auto, and started
to do" the country. They secured their
auto February 10 at Oakland, and on
that day drove about 80 miles in and
around San Francisco, visiting the points
of interest around the city.
The log book kept by Mr.. Powles tells
as we'll as anything else could the
story of their adventures. The most in
teresting features of it follow:
February 10.-Drove today about 80
miles, including drive to the Cliff House,
where we encountered some very deep
sand on the beach and were stuck for
a while, but finally got out without a
great deal of trouble. Visited Sutro
museum and baths. Rode about the
city to see the ruins. Went to Preside,
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-04-15

to get to Los Olives and then missed
the road and took the one to Los Alamos.
This was very dangerous road because
of bridges being out and the roadway
undermined by the overflow of the river.
We resumed the right course and pro-
ceeded to Los Olives. After passing
this place we lost our way to Alamo
Pintada, but were redirected. There
were lots Of washouts along the way.
At both Alamo Pintada and at Paso
Robes we found that no other auto
mobiles had been through for seven
weeks on account of the bad roads.

OF j. D. FUWI6S % 90.
Both of these places are popular stop
ping places for touring tars, and there
are usually many machines stopping
there every day.
February 19.-Had to avoid the regu-
lar pass to Santa Barbara-Caviota Pass
because of bad washouts. We took
the San Marco Pass, which is dangerous
under any conditions, and is prohibited
to automobiles. After leaving Alamo
Pintada, we encountered the river and
found that the bridge was washed out.
After some trouble we located a ford

Nothing of Importance Has Been
Accomplished by Delegates to
The Hague Conference.
Prevailing Opinion is That Absence OF
Results in Great Questions is Due
to the Lack of Preparation by
All the Countries Repre-
sented.

The Hague-After having been in
session more than three months, and
with adjournment probably month in
the distance, it is recognized gener
ally, and even by the most optimis-
tic in the peace movement, that the
second international peace conference
has been and will be, at its conclusion,
nent measures of benefit to the peace
of the world. Even the proposition
for future meeting of the conference,
which was unanimously adopted on
Saturday, has been so altered as to
suppress it's most important part,
namely, the periodicity of meetings,
merely providing for the calling of
third conference, but establishing moth
ing with regard to the convening of
the future conferences.
The prevailing opinion, as expressed
by one of the leading delegates, is
that the absence of results in the con-
ference on the great question was due
10 the lack of preparation by all
the countries represented. This, he
said, was especially striking in the
case of the American delegation, which
was supposed to have come here in
complete accord with the Latin-Ameri-
can countries. This accord, however,
neither existed, nor had it been reach
ed during the conference. Indeed, the
chief result of the conference will be
growing feeling of difidence on the
part of the South Americans towaro

they accuse the United States of hav-
ing neglected them and of caring only
for working in accord with Great Brit
ain and Germany.

ROOSEVELT PLANNING TRIP.
Will Sail Down the Mississippi From
Keokuk to Memphis.

Washington.-Wh the prepara-
tions for President Roosevelt's west
ern trip have not been completed, the
program has been sufficiently arranged
to make it certain that the tour will
be one of the most spectacular ever
undertaken by him. He will leave
here next Sunday, and will be absent
from the seat of government until the
23d or oath of October The trip has
three distinctive objects: The dedica-
tion of the Mckinley mausoleum at
Canton, O.; the inspection of the Mis-
sissippi river with view of arousing
interest in the ship channel from it's
mouth to Keokuk, Ia, and the Great
Lakes, and the securing of a period of
recreation for the chief executive be-
fore the beginning of the duties of the
winter.
incidentally there will be some
speeches on the return journey, which
will deal with current issues.

These operations were chiefly notable
for a brilliant forced march of the

low squares, one behind the other. In
this formation they marched some

daybreak and forced a half hour
halt, during which shots fired by tn,

ADMIRAL DEWEY OPPOSES
SURRENDER OF ISLANDS
Regards Philippines as Gateway to
the Orient, and an Aid in Main
tanning the Open Door Policy.

hington-Admiral Dewey strong
iy resents the proposition that has
been discussed in a more or less aca-
demic way to surrender the Philip
pines, which, of all men, he was a lead
ing factor in bringing under the Amer
lean flag. In an interview, the admiral
sets out the reasons which impel him
to insist upon the retention Of the
islands. The strong point of his ar
gument is not based upon the military
or naval Importance of the islands,
but upon the great value, present and
prospective, of the Philippines to
America in the extension of our trade
with the orient
The admiral says: Abandon the
Philippines? l don't believe our coun-.
try will ever do that. Certainly it
should not, because it has altogether
too much at stake. 1t is only our con-
troll over the Philippines that makes it
possible for us to insist upon the open
door in the east, toward which our
diplomacy has been directed for years
We want our share of the enormous
commerce of the east and we can't
keep the door open for it unless we
hold the islands. Why did Spain for
200 years dominate the commerce of
the orient? Just because she had the
bay and harbor of Manila as a great
commercial and naval base. That
base can be just as useful to us COM
mercially as it was to Spain. For ten
years every strong European nation
has been trying to get foothold for
commercial and naval purposes in the
far east. Through the fortunes of war
the United States obtained the best
position possible, giving us superior
commercial advantages over the ma
tlons. What sort of a common sense
would it be for us to give up such a
position?
suppose we should dispose of the
Philippines and Japan should acquire
them. See how the islands stretch
along the coast. Here are the Philip
pines and Formosa If Japan had them
she could command every gateway to
the orient and the United States would
be completely shut out. Every one
comedies that the orient is the future
great field for the principal CONNER
cial operations of the world. We ought
TO be the leaders, but we must at least
have a share in the enterprise, and
In order to do so we must maintain
the position we have occupied. I
think 1T is plain that we must have a
commercial base such as Manila. and
then in order to protect our commerce
we must have a naval base, and at Su-
big bay such base is being deveI-
oped"
