In every way the new depot will
be a splendid modern structure. It
will be provided with a steam heating
system. the steam coming from the
round house; the windows will be of
plate glass and the walks adjoining
the depot will all be of concrete.
Under the new plans the round
house is to be located on the south
side of the track opposite the end
of Cosbie street. It will he near the
old zee house now standing upon
the grounds. The track for the
Washington divisions trains will be
on the north side of the depot as at
present, while the main line track will
be on the south side. AS there will
be the distance of one block between
the depot and Main street that thor
oughfare will n olonger be blocked by
trains. either freight or passenger.
A driveway is to lead westward
from Main street along the depoA
grounds, and this will be used by
busses, cabs, etc. A team track, for
the discharging Of local freight will
extend from west Of the depot along
Railroad street but will not extena
farther east than Garden street. Thir
will leave the vacant tract south OF
the Hotel Bowman open for park
purposes. \ grassy park will also be
provided at each end of the depot.
II is estimated that tha cost Of flo |
new depot together with the ground |
improvements. will involve an ex- |
penditure of between $4,000 ana !
$4,000. This is considerable more |
money than was spent upon the Walla
Walla depot and will give Pendleton
the finest depot in the inland em-
pire outside OF Spokane.

New York, May 6.-In the current
number of the outlook out today, an
editorial by Colonel Roosevelt. in part
follows:
There are certain elementary prin-
ciples all OF which should be kept In
view If nation wishes to act justly
both by itself and others. It must in
slst upon what Is necessary for its own
healthy life, this even at the cost of
a possible clash but this insistance
upon what Is due itself should always
be accompanied by all possible cour-
tesy to and fair dealing with others.
These are the principles upon which
the people Of the United States should
act with regards to the question of
immigration Of Japanese into this
country.
'The Japanese are a highly civilized
people. of extraordinary military, ar
tistlc and industrial development
They are proud, warlike and sensitive.
| believe our people have, what
personally certainly have, a profound
and hearty admiration for them. But
this admiration and respect is accom-
panied by the firm conviction that II
isn't to the advantage of either peo-
pie that emigrants from either coun-
try should settle in mass in the 9TH
er country. Japan would certainly
object to incoming masses of Ameri-
can farmers, laborers and small
traders. Indeed, the Japanese would
object to this at least as strongly as
the men OF the Pacific coast and
Rocky Mountains object to the in
coming mass Of Japanese workmen,
agriculturalists. laborcrs and men en-
gagged in small trades. The japanese
certainly object to Americans acqulr-
ing land in Japan, at least as much
as Americans in far western states OBJ
ject to Japanese acquiring land on
our soil.

japanese who come to America should |
be OF the same general class that is. !

and men sojourning in a land for
pleasure or study. II is against the
interests of both nations that such
emigration or settlement
in mass should be allowed as regards
to either nation. This Is the cardinal
fact in the situation and 1t should be
recognized by both countries. But In
achieving this policy we should bear
steadily in mind II is our duty to COM
bine maximum efficiency with mini
mum offensiveness. Only national
government can carry out such poll

D. R. & n. COMPANY WANTS
BIDS UPON FINE NEW DEPOT

That the o. r. & n. company is
intending to begin Immediately upon
the construction of the new depot is
indicated by the fact that Agent r.
f. Schuyler has received the detailed
plans and specifications for the new
building. They have just arrived from
the office of Chief Engineer Boschs,
together with instructions to Mr..
Schuyler to submit the plans to local
contractors so that they may be ready
to bid upon the work when the pro-
posals arc called for. 1t is said that
preference will be shown local peo-
pie IN the matter of awarding the
business.
Under the plans the new depot is
to be located in the block between
Garden and Cosbie streets, just one
block west of the present depot. The
new structure will be 1854 feet long
by 35 feet wide The building will
be of pressed brick, with concrete
floor throughout and asbestos slate
roof. A fine commodious waiting
room, sos feet by S5.4 will occupy
the center of the depot and the tickle.

cupying the center Of the building.
The office will be provided with four

Washington, May 6.-Warning the
senate that if the tariff bill in its pres
ent form becomes a law the condition
will not be remedied, and the agitation
for revision will not be stilled, Senator
Cummins of Iowa, made a sensation
al address in the senate today. He
said; The senate finance commit

favoring tariff revision as either full
fillment Of the republican party's
pledge or a settlement of the contro-
versy, If it becomes a law the cam
paign for lower duties will continue
with increasing ZEAL"
Cummlns continued: 'It does not
give me pleasure to utter this prophe-
cy for I earnestly hoped that the re-
vision progressing would end this dis
pute for years to come"
Consumer Demands Revision.
Cummins declared that the demand
for revision comes from the consumer,
and referring to the republican plat
forms he said: The senator who i'm
agines he can satisfy these people by
saying that a revision with higher or
substantially the same duties is COM

with the largest postal receipts OF

been no results. And now Medford
can hang her head, while Grants

knowledge that they have taken
one more step toward civic better

West Virginia Governor on Com
petition.
Efforts to get competition usually
result in the last condition being
worse than the first. For example,
take the telephone and the capital
city of the state as spectre IN
stance. At first there was one tele-
phone company doing business in
Charleston. The people thought it's
rates too high or its service in
adequate or both, and to get COM
petition and correction another tele-
phone company was granted the
privilege. Now citizen Of the city
is practically compelled to have two
telephones in his place Of business
or his residence, and therefore pay
the rental Of two, and pay for each
OF the two what he had to pay for
one, and get only the service that
one ought to have given to him for
the money. The effort to get COM
petition therefore has resulted in
paying double the price that ought
to be paid.--GovernO Dawson OF

MICHIGAN LEARNS LESSON
CONTINUED from page ~

In the older days OF duplicated
telephone service In Detroit, the
most noticeable feature OF such sue
cess as the earlier promoters had
was the extent to which duplication
Of service actually took place. The
independent telephone went In
alongside the older installation. In
addition the field was developed by
the lower rates which ensued and
great many people were educated
into using telephones who found
that they could not get along with
out them when the competitive sys-
TEN went by the board. In the pre-
sent experiment there does not seem
to be any such evidence of wholesale

A Case OF Righteous Indignation.


The editor OF the Medford Trl-
bune grows righteously indignant
over the failure of his town to Sc
cure city mail delivery. To read his
vigorous English one must feel that
the editor has a right to blame GER
tain city officials and as he plies the
lash we find ourselves in full SYM
pathy with the words which are fit
ly spoken including the quotation
from Milton. Grants Pass, It can
be said, secured mail delivery
through the foresight Of its post
master and Its mayor and council
and there Is no reason to believe
that Medford would not have been
equally successful had its proper Of
ficials been true to the city's best
interest. Below are the editorial
remarks in question:
"To Medford's sister cities-Ash-
land and Grants Pass the wires
have brought good news. On June
10 in each OF these communities,
the postal service will be materially
improved by having free mail de-
livery service instituted. One search

ford in this connection. Medford,
famed for her progressiveness, en-
thusiasm, energy and her splrit--the
spirit which builds up cities and
makes them famous--has been out
stripped. And most bitter OF all Is

Our resources are a ten mill tax
on 100000 in the city of Grants
Pass, equals $4,000; and twelve
mill tax on s6,OOO,OOO in the county
outside of Grants Pass, equals $72,-
900; total $4,000.
This leaves a surplus Of $4,000
to redeem outstanding warrants. In
this connection, will say that the
person who paid thirteen dollars on
property valued at one thousand
in Grants Pass last year will pay just
two dollars more to the County and
State this year, while property Of the
same value outside Of Grants Pass
will be taxed three dollars more.
It should be borne in mind that
the county court has nothing to do
with city and district school taxes.

In these days when SO many op-
