DIFFERENCE IN METHODS.

1t has been plainly apparent during
the current year that the 0. r. & N
Company has determined to make a
strenuous fight for the cream and bulk
of the Portland and interior summer
travel to the Washington beaches
within touch of its coast system and
river route, and to this end, has not
only framed up quick and direct
schedule out of Portland, via Megler
(their new river port opposite this
city,, but they have flooded the In
land Empire, and the press OF both
States with fine advertising matter OF
all kinds, so that it is almost impos-
sible to escape it wheresoever one
goes; and what is more their river
craft and trains and the north beach
resort hotels are literally swarming
with delighted tourists and summer
ers," who seem to think there are no
other coast resorts anywhere near
them.
On the other hand, the Astoria &
Columbia River Railroad Company,
which has even finer resort objective
on the Oregon coast, from Astoria to
Seaside, and with swifter, equally as
direct, and splendid service out of
Portland, and from the North Bank"
and Northern Pacific lines, from the
interior, seems to have utterly aban-
boned the program of advertising its
summer havens and schedules for
which it was famous two years ago,
and has allowed the travel to the
Clatsop resorts to diminish notably
this year 1t rivals its rival in every
detail, save that OF skilful and attrac-
tive advertising, and the people of the
coast country are wondering and
complaining OF this laches, of which |
the A. & c. was never guilty before.
The service they put UP is ample
and as fine as any in the country for
the lineage and territory, and why the
advertising has been suppressed no
one but the management can say. At
all events the travel is markedly less
and is commented on here and all
along the line, as remarkable de-
parture by a company which in re-
cent years has done some Of the best
and most attractive advertising in
railway annals.

Expected Nine to Depart.


Deputy Insurance Commissioner w.
M. Waite says that the insurance de
partment has received only four no.
tees of withdrawal from life insur.
ance companies who intended to leave
the state. The department expected,
however, that nine companies would
go. Others had notified the commits.
sioner that they would cease doing
new business after December 81, but
it was expected they would remain
closing up their collections until the
expiration of their licenses March /.
Mr.. Waite said that some of these
companies might return after they
had seen how the companies, which
had decided to remain, got along
under the new laws. He expressed
the opinion that the National Life of
Vermont, whose secretary was in
Madison recently, would remain in the
state, as the secretary had intimated
as much, he said, when in Madison,
Officials of the Aetna company, Mr..
Waite said, were at Madison for con.
sultation with the commissioner. II
was the understanding of the depart
ment that the company would write
nonparticipating policy, though this
had not been finally determined. He
expressed some surprise when told
that the Mutual Life would retire
from the state, as the department, he
said, had received no formal notice OF
its withdrawal.

the industrial slump that has followed

Steps will be taken to interest labor

lands. The secretary of the North

starts out shortly with stereopticon
lantern and lecture on the advantages
offered to poor men and men of mod
crate means by the new Wisconsin,
where work will win independence.
The state commissioner of immigra,
ton has prepared large amount Of
literature that will be distributed
among the unemployed wherever
list of names can be secured. Mr..

arranged a list of the places to be

Former State Senator w. H. Hatten
Of New London, candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for United States
senator at the primaries next Septem-
Der, and State Senator George B. Hud-
nall of Superior discussed the new
Wisconsin railroad companies at a
meeting of the American Political Sci
ence and American Economics associ-
alton. Senator Hatten is generally
credited with having had more to do
with the drafting and enactment OF
the railroad commission law than any
other man in the state, and Senator
Hudnall is accorded similar credit re-
garding the public utilities law. Re-
garding the candidacy of Senator Hat
ten for the Republican nomination for
United States senator next September
Mark w. Waite, deputy state insur
ance commissioner, said: "W. H. Hat
ten is a candidate for the United
States senate. This fact was made
about as clear as could be made with
out a formal announcement immedi
ately following the vote which elected
Isaac Stephenson to complete the un
expired term Of John G. Spooner. Mr.
Hatten's statement at that time: I am
still candidate for the long term is
doubtless the only reason that a for
NAL announcement has not been
made"

The Wisconsin capitol commission
at a meeting selected materials for
the interior finishlngs of the west
wing of the new capitol, awarded a
contract for the tearing down of the
east wing of the old capitol and the
construction of the half mile tunnel

plant to the new capitol, and rejected
all bids recently submitted for fur

other equipment for the heating and

stone is what is known as "Kasota, p"
and is quarried in Minnesota. 1t is
largely used in the interior finishings
of the new Minnesota capitol. Some
Wisconsin granite will be used for
pillars and balustrades. The wainscot
of the assembly chamber, which will
occupy the second, third and fourth
stories of the west wing, will be OF

leading to the chamber will be faced
with it. The department of state,
