TRANSPORTATION RESOLUTIONS

]
At a recent meeting of the Oregon
Idaho Development Congress at Rose
burg. Oregon, a report presented by
committee consisting of Francis j..
Clark, Frank B. Waite and G. A. Hur-
ley, was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we hereby reiterate
and re affirm and approve the resolu-
lions of the last Oregon-Idaho Devel
opment Congress, held at Marshfield,
Or; and,
Resolved, That it is the sense OF
this convention that the time has ar
rived for the development of the state
of Oregon when the needs of business
in all productive and diStributive lines
require the improvement of the wagon
roads throughout the state and that
the Legislature of Oregon at it's 1909
session be and is hereby urged to enact
laws and make ample appropriations
in aid of such roads; and,
Resolved, That the aid of the Fed
eral Congress should be invoked in
the cause of good roads, and the dee
cations in Congress from the state
of Oregon are hereby urged to further
in every possible way any enactment
which may be designed to procure ap-
propriations for the improvement of
such roads, and,
Resolved, That the legislation need
ed for the peculiar conditions of the
state of Oregon includes proper dis
position of convict labor so as to with
draw the same from all competition
with free labor and place the labor so
withdrawn in the work of constructing
dc f,,rt thot tho
preparations for good roads should
amount to not less than 100000 an
nually to be used in all parts of the
state; and,
Resolved, That the great need OF
better facilities for rail transportation
in Oregon has become oppressive and
that the failure of great transportation
companies which have prOfited to the
extent of many millions through the
business loyalty of our people to ex-
tend their lines to meet the demands
of our growing trade and to give Gen.
trail and Southern Oregon a short and
convenient outlet to the ocean and
cheap water transportation, presents
condition which can only be met by
providing state aid for local roads
where possible, and state construction
and operation of lines which are nee
essary for the relief of our people;
and,
Resolved, That the need of the 140,-
900 people who inhabit Coos, Curry.
Lane, Douglas, Josephine and Jackson
Counties of a railroad outlet to the
ocean by way of Coos Bay, and the
very evident profit which such road
would produce in handling the bust
ness of the people, as well as saving
the shippers and producers hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually
through cheap water rates, and the re-
fusal of the Southern Pacific Railway
Company to build such line, present
an emergency which should be met by
the construction of such road by the
state, to the end that Central and

The winds breathe low; the whitening
leaf
Scarce whispers from the tree:
So gently flows the parting breath.
When good men cease to be.
How beautiful on all the hills
The crimson light is shed!
IT'S like the peace the Christian gives
To mourners round hts he'd.
How mildly on the wandering cloud
The sunset beam is cast;
'Tis like the memory left behind,
When loved ones breathe their last.
And now above the dews Of night
The vesper-star appears.
So faith springs in the hearr of those
Whose eyes are bathed in tears.
But soon the mornings happier light
It's glory shall restore.
And eyelids that are sealed In death.
Shall wake, to close no more.

Tho Penal Laws.

Are loyal to the British throne?
Not till the light of time deNarts,
Till all the days Of earth nave flown,
Shall they forget their country's woes,
The centuries of blood and tears,
Her countless wrongs. her ruthless
foes,
Her agonies through all the years.
Gould hell invent, or earth apply
A torture worse than British rule,
When priest and teacher had to fly,
Or die-from Ireland's church and
school?
Could demons frame blacker code
Than were those bltghting peral
laws,
Could malice find a darker mode
To vent its wrath, without a cause.
Not ancient Rome in all her pride,
In all her revelry of blood,
When Peter preached the Crucified
And martyrs at the fagots stood
Excelled in brutal butchery,
The Anglo -Saxons of that day,
The peerless in iniqulty,
Whose mission was to rob and s,ay
The rack, the gibbet, block and stake,
The torch, the pitch-cap, sword and
gun, as
Were chosen instruments TO make
The Irish race loyal one.
What love for Him Of Calvary,
Those pious British hirelings felt.
Who came by England's vile decree,
To kill, or extirpate, the Celt.
They came to conquer and to rule,
Without Divine or human risht.
They banned the Mass. they closed the
school,
And left behind a CHASTITY sigt;
ITO hell or Connaught," was the cry
OF those the monster Cromwell led
To stay, to linger, was to die,
And SO the homeless people fled.
Read but the annals Of our race,
Far back as history can go,
You'll find at every time and place,
A people brave to every Zoe.
They met the Dane and bore him
down,
They kept the Norman in the Pale,
On foreign fields they've won renown
At home, is still the dauntless Gael
We still are fighting in a cause,
For which our gallant fathers died.
The right to make our country's laws,
Alone, her destinies to guide,
Let England take her rule away.
Give back our titles and our lands.
Then. and forever, let her stay,
And wash, at home, her ood-statn-
ed hands.

The Old Violin.
I climbed the attic towe. tonight,
Among the curios Of the years,
Discarded long, and put away,
That caused my eyes to fill with
tears.
Upon the wall, to my surprise,
Hung by a cord now faded grown.
The violin Of boyhood days,
I once was proud to call my own.
Fond memories gather thick and fast,
Long since forgotten in the flight,
BY this event-this circumstance
OF climbing up the tower tonight.
Neglected form, once highly priced,
And valued by its weight in gold,
That ofttimes blended sweetest strains
In key with David's harp Of old.
What were the tunes I used to play.
That filed my soul with rapturou.

cOLLIDED WITH A A
Swimmer Attempting to Cross British
Channel Has a Halr-Ralslns
Experience.

In the latest attempt to swim the
English channel ]. Wolfe, the
Scottsh amateur, had a narrow es-
cape from a shark. The monster
struck the swimmer across the loins
and he is yet sore from having come
in contact with the monster Of the
deep. Wolfe was going well on his
right side and there was every chance
that Webb's great feat would be
emulated after 50 many unsuccess-
full attempts when suddenly the
shark appeared from below.
The swimmer, in making the
stroke, thought the huge bulk was a
piece of wreckage, but as his hand
went back it passed along a shiny
body and at that instant the shark
jumped clean out of the water.
Wolfe turned around to see what
was the matter and the shark Owed
Those who accompanied Wolfe say
that it was n Of the bottle-nosed
species and these never attack swim
mers in the water.
Wolffe's attempt has been the best
so far and probably had he escaped
meeting the shark he would have
completed the journey. He was
within a mile and a half Of the shore
when he was forced to give up.

LESSON FROM THE PAST.

Thomas Jefferson was writing the
immortal declaration of independ-
ence, and had just evolved the rev
olutionary doctrine that all men are
endowed with certain ~inalienable
rights, among which are 'life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness"
"Of course" he reflected, "there
will be about one week in the year
when the boy with the cannon
cracker or the toy pistol will be at
liberty, in his pursuit of happiness,
to take anybody's life"
Smiling as he thought of the
havoc the automobilists would play
with these principles some day, he
proceeded to submit a few facts for
the consideration Of a candid world.

ALL HAVE LITTLE TRICKS.

1t is said that every man has some
little trick or other which he per-
forms unconsciously, especially when
he is thinking. The sovereignk of
Europe have all their own pee Iiar
habits. For example, King Edl erd
has a way Of passing his finger back
ward and forward under his chin
the German Emperor twirls his mus
tache with energy, while the king
of Italy strokes his gently and af-
fectionately the emperor of Aus
tria combs out his whiskers, and the
czar frequently passes his hand over
the top Of his head. Lastly, ex-
President Loubet has a trick of
struggling his right shoulder, and at
the same time smoothing the front
of his coat with his right hand
