OPEN THE COAL FIELDS.

Portland business men who
visited Heppner on their recent
itioerary through Oregon and
Idaho, expressed genuine surprise
.t the quality and extent of the
Heppner coal fields.
After they return home and cast
no the needs of the state, from
their observations, will they de-
mand that a railroad be built into
that coal field?
Really, is it not crime upon
the part of the railroads to refuse
TO build to the Heppner coal fields,
when the need of fuel is SO urgent
ia Oregon?
No matter who owns the fields,
no matter if the railroads cannot
secure q controlling interest in the
miues, no matter if the output can
not be controlled by the railroads,
p branch line should be built into
those mines.
IL urder the railroad commission
act, the state can force the con-
sfruction of a branch line into
that part OF Oregon, steps toward
this end should be taken at once
This is only another illustration
of the inconsistency of private

tensive field to market.
Will Portland serious ly consider
the needs of the state and endeavor
to bring about the logical and
practical development of her re-
sources? 1t is said that the obje
of the visit to eastern Oregon was

OF course theories may be wise or
otherwise. When you say that men
often burden themselves with foolish
theories, you are saying nothing to the
purpose, either against theories IN gen.
eral, or against theories in detail. Men
make fools of themselves about politics.
Shall we all quit voting? They make
fools OF themselves about religion. Shall
we all turn agnostlos or atheists?
Besides, you may be mistaken in sup
posing that they are making fools of
themselves, for in some cases nature has
saved them the trouble.
