VANDERBILT WAS 20 BEFORE
HE MADE HIS FORTUNE
urtOn ]. HendrIck I'm McCn

(Burton j. Hendrick I'm McCmre's
Magazine for November.)
The Vanderbilt fortune. once the
greatest financial power In the United
States. probably amounts, at the pres
ent moment, To not far from $780,
100000. or this, William Kissam
Vanderbilt, who controls the major
ity OF the family properties. holds
I'm the neighborhood OF 100000. 600,
while twelve or fifteen descendants
OF the Commodore share among
themselves the remaining 100000
900.
Perhaps the most remarkable fact
In the whole remarkable career Of
Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. is
that he did his really important work
and heaped up his enormous fortune
after he was seventy years old He
was born In 1874, and almost all his
energies, until the outbreak OF the
Civil War, had been absorbed In the ]
of his numerous steam
boat and steamship lines.
Cornelius Vanderbilt when run
mig his boats up and down the Hud- |
son river, had felt keenly the COM |
petition OF the railroad along its |
shore. Later developments
led him clearly TO perceive, what |
most of his contemporaries saw only |
that transportation In this
country would follow the line, noy NJ
the canal and the river. but OF the
steel rail. IS soon as ha had caught
this glimpse Of the future, Wander
bilt cha a." arstically acted upon it
Fifty years before foreseeing the pos
5ibilit!es OF steam travel by water, he
had sold his whole saillnS neet ANA
purchased steamboats,; acting Just az
promptly now he has sold all his
water craft and began purchasing
railroads.

BAD GUNNERY IN
THE SPANISH WAR

In an article in McClure's Maga-
zine for November on THE Fight for
New Navy" the author in telling
Of the strides made In gunnerv re-
views the conditions that prevailed In
he Spanish War He says
The Spanish War was Won ny two
naval victOries-Manila and Santa
go. Naturally, the fame of the Amer
ican navy, AID especially OF it's gun
merry, famed across the world AS
a matter of fact, the shooting at
Manila and Santiago was lbOut as
bad as possible. Al Manila 30 Per
cent of the shots missed at 4 range of
from 5000 TO 1000 yards; AT Santa
go-the chief battle of the war
at least SO per cent. 4 special com
mission of officers, which was fp-
pointed to examine the wrecks of the
Spanish ships AT Santiago, stablish-
ed this fact officially. VI reported
that of $500 projects fired. only 1873.
or 1.3 per cent, had found a mark
on the Spanish ships. Making every
possible allowance for hits which
could not readily be seen upon the
wrecks, not one shot in fifty struck
its mark. The day of the battle was
ClSdI, lhe sea Sihoothi tue targets
were 90 feet high and 200 feet long,
and the range was $500 yards Ing
lish gunners at that time could have
hit the Spanish ships at least two ont
of every five shots. Fortunately for
us, the fact that We were lighting a
thoroughly senilc power whose ships
had neither gunners nor proper Fm
aboard, gave us an undis-
puted victory"

OREGON "a REPUBLICAN
STATE"

It is argued that because Oregon
! Is a Republican state the legislature
must elect a Republican senator and
must ignore the result OF the June
! election when Chamberlain was de-
clared the popular choice for the Of
fee
But who made Chamberlain the
popular choice? Republicans.
Who made Chamberlain governor
In 1902 and again ~ 1906 by an in
creased majority? Republicans.
Whose votes passed the direct pri-
mary law by which voters are al
lowed to declare their choice for SEN
ator? Republicans.
Whose votes enacted the measure
parsed last June by an overwhe!m-
ing majority directing the legisla.
ture to elect the peoples choice for
senator? Republicans.
But the Republicans who voted
for Chamberlain for senator did not
really want his elected by the leg
islature," say his enemies and the
enemies OF popular rule. VIII any
of those Republicans come forward
now and say that they were simply
engaged in an effort TO defeat the
nominee OF their own party and that
they were deliberately plotting to
overthrow later the decision ex-
pressed by the people in rhe June
election? What standing would such
men have I'm the court of public
opinion? Shall self-confessed trait
orr TO their party and TO the people
be permitted a hearing now? Are
their hands clean? Must not he that
seeks equity do equity?
In truth Oregon Is q Republican
state. In the very same election
which made Chamberlain tn peo-
pies nominee COR senator the Re
pmblican candidates for congress re-
ceived an aggregate plurality OF
nearly $4,000 votes. eYt Chamber
lain was ths popular choice for en-
ator. What does this mean? ri
means that I'm this Republican state,
with this overwhelming Repub lean
majority, % many Republicans de-
sired Chamberlain as Oregou's rep
I'm the United Stats EN-
lte that he became the peoples nom.

Kings Who Are Hard.up.

A king, surrounded by all the
pomp and luxury of his court, Is in
the eyes of some a favored indiyidu-
al who never knows the inconven-
fence Ito put IL mildly of beng
hard ap," But he does-often
Then many are the means he EN-
ploys TO get money.
Since the assassination of King
Carlos of Portugal there has been a
committee formed to inquire into
late monarch's debts which has as.
certained that since the year 1890
the sum OF 100000 has been al
vanced to the crown. Deducting a
sum OF $4,000 which still remains
to its credit, there is a debt OF e1S4,-
900 left.
A very remarkable sequel TO this
has arisen with the new Portuguese
tcW weeks ago, for, according TO the
official figures contained therein, not
a single penny of income has b IN
received by the roval hou-e since
the accession of the young King
Manuel.
This is indeed reversing matters
with veng eance; but this omission
has been since rectisied, for a few
days ago Parliament granted the
young king an income of e20O day.
The debts of the late King of
Servia, too, were matters OF severe
anxiety TO his government, and there
were rumors hoeting about at the
time OF his mnrder that II Was partly
due TO the embarrassed state 10

ANNUAL CONVENTION OF ELKs.

This great event for the b. p. o.
E. tbest people on earth,) is sched-
uled for Los Angeles.
The S. p. Co. is planning to take
an excursion train of Oregon Elks
TO THAT CITY OF THE ANGELS.
While the Los Angeles members
of the order may have sprouted more
wings, the noble herd in Oregon have
longer horns.
There are more big-souled, big
hearted men In that order than in
almost any other aggregation on
earth. But THEY DO NOT WANT
TO BECOME ANGELS.
When one of them steps up to
another and slaps him on the
shoulder with a Hello BILL" there
is an immediate response OF GOOD
YILL AND GOOD FELLOWSHIP.
Be the one a laborer and the other
a millionaire, prince or potentate. he
recognizes a common humanity.
There is need of more such orders
in the world, or rather THERE Is
NEED OF MORE OF THAT SAME
SPIRIT IN OTHER ORDERS.
Recently Supt. Fields of the
Southern Pacific was greeted with
Hello Bill' by brakeman in over
alls.
The response was quick as n flash
and the handshake was so hearty the
WINGED.
Not word was said but the men
met, NOT As SUPERIOR AND IN
+ ERROR, BUT AS BROTHERS.
That railroad is made safer with
such relations existing between its
employers than by the block signal |
The men are better men and their
services are more valuable and THE |
ROAD Is SAFER TO TRAVEL |
OVER FOR THE "HELLO BILLS"
The world is better every time the |
inks OF brotherhood are connected |
ly the ties OF fraternal order that

PAVING HAS ONLY BEGUN IN
SALEM.

Paving is not going to stop at Sa.
lem with "a blocks.
While our streets are wide and
our blocks are long, and the pave
ment Is the most expensive In the
world, PAVING MUST GO AHEAD
MORE RAPIDLY.
All who see them say that our
paved streets are THE MOST BEAU
TIFUL IN THE WEST.
But when towns like Eugene can
pave sixty blocks in one year, Salem
can't afford To quit on "a.
Court street should be paved TO
Twelfth. and Twelfth street TO THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC PASSENGER
DEPOT.
The cross streets between Court
and State should be paved.
As soon as the South Commercial
street bridge is put in, THAT
STREET SHOULD BE PAVED TO
THE MACADAMIZED PART of the
street that ends at Mission street.
The rainshackle, dirty tumble
down streets are block to making
this the beautiful residence city IL
should become.
LIKE THE ELECTRIC LIGHT,
PAVED STREETS REQUIRE NO
ARGUMENT.
There can be no valid objection TO
street paving but expense.
Yet improved property surrounded
by unpaved streets IL THE GREAT
EST EXPENSE an individual can be
subjected TO.
No one thing ever done at Salem
has created so favorable an impress
sion or has caused so much favor
able comment as paving.
PROPERTY HAS ADVANCED
MORE THAN TEN TIMES THE
COST OF PAVING.
Property on paved streets is
sought after to rent andt o pur-
chase.
There are no stores or residences
for sale on paved streets.
All petitions for paving before the
city council should be acted unou so
that the contractors may begin work
early in spring.
With all the advantage Salem
possesses rs a city we cannot afford
10 drop behind I'm this matter of
paving more streets.
WE CANNOT STOP WHERE WE
ARE,

THE ARMY OF
CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS

Some striking figures showing
changes that have taken place In
stock ownership since the panic OF
last year indicate that this is the
case and also that the rank and file
OF investors reaped rich harvest,
while the wealthy spectators bore
the burden OF the loss. Sixteen of
the leading railroads and industries
which had 100000 shareholders be-
fore the panic now number $4,000
stockholders. In other words, i00,-
600 small investors took their mon
ey out of the banks and bought at
the bottom. The stockholders in
seven railroads have increased from
$4,000 To $4,000, and OF all the
roads In the country from $4,000
To 100000. he average dividend for
each owner, according TO the Apple
ton figures, is about 5000, equal
practically TO the average earnings OF
the 100000 railway employees.
or the industrials, seven OF the
largest number 100000 stockhold-
ers, the steel combination leadlug
with 10000. IL is said that the
stock OF his corporation is held in
every country In the world These
seven Industrial account for only a
small fraction of the country's total
IL is figured that there are at least
400, 900 additional small stockhold-
ers in similar enterprises scattered
throughout the country. American
mines, not taking into consideration
wildcat schemes, have about $50, 900
stockholders. The most widely dis
tributed mining stock is held by 3O,-
900 persons. The stocks of national
banks is distributed among 100000
holders.
Altogether 2 100000 is given as
figure representing the
total number of stockholders of all
classes in the United States. This
is an increase OF nearly $50, 900
since coming OF the panic a year ago.
In other words those who benefited
by the financial depression We're p5o-
pie at small or moderate means who
took advantage of the number of
of million of the op-
portunity 20 buy cheap Frank IL.
