MOTIVE FOR OPPOSITION.

1t will be very regrettable if there
should continue to be captious criticism
of the plans and methods of the Ore
gon-Idaho Development congress to
bring about matters of the gravest i'm
portance to the state.
In all great undertakings it is to be
expected that not all connected with
the enterprise will he fully and wholly
satisfied with each aud every individual
step that is taken or with every word
that is spoken by others interested, so
that any captious criticism, or criticism
directed at matters extraueous aud not
directly connected with the enterprise
itself, may be regarded as being put
forth for the purpose of creating some
dissatisfaction whereby the real object
sought may be frustrated.
If building railways in that manner
is socialism, then this government ia
pretty we'll along in socialism and the

Be it socialism, republicanism,
democracy, or what not, the de-
velopment of a country by the
residents thereof is to be COM
mended. But to wait idly by
while some outside promoter
takes the cream and leaves the in
habitants the skinned milk, has
taught the people of Idaho and
Oregon, that if they wish to have
the resources of the country fully
developed, they must depend up
The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1909-03-05

When the republican senators
at Boise found that the minority of
10 democrats had out-generaled
them in securing three republicans
to support the direct'primary meas
ure, they all hut one made a grand
stand play and supported the bill.
1t is we'll known fact that the re-
publican leaders held caucus the
night before the bill came up for
final consideration, trying to induce
the three patriotic republicans to
consent to some amendment that
would kill the bill, but when they
found that the trick could not be
turned, they swallowed the bitter
pill with the best grace they could
muster and now are trying to take
the credit for the whole shooting
match.
The citizens of Idaho can not be
hoodwinked on such a proposition
and will not forget that the pas
sage Of the direct primary law was
due to the democratic mem bers
who stood solidly for the measure
from start to finish, and that the
republican leaders would have de-
feated it, or so loaded it down with
obnoxious amendments that it
would have been of no practical val
ne, lift bad been in their power. We
are somewhat surprised that the
minority found 3 out of the 13 re-
publican senators who could SO far
forsake their party fealty and set
defiance to the dictations of the
party bosses, as to stand for right,
justice and for the principle of ''let
the people rule"
Senators Shawhan, Goodnight
and Rowton are the three republi-
cans who joined the democrats and
made the passage of the bill pos
sible, as they refused to be party
to the republican combine to defeat
the measure, but stated that they
personally did not approve Of the
bill but had been instructed by
their constituents to support such
a measure, Had they not been so
pledged, the bill would have gone
down to defeat.

FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1909.

GOD helps those who help
themselves, is we'll Illustrated in
many ways, we have many in
stances of this in the develop
ment of this western country.
One of the most noticeable can be
seen in the work now being car
ried on by the citizens of Ontario
Oregon, where for years it has
been known that a deposit of oil
and gas existed, but the people OF
that section were waiting for
some one to come along and de-
volop the proposition for them.
Several times promoters, with
more wind than money took
leases on the surrounding ter
ritory for the purpose of sinking
wells for oil and gas, but moth
ing was accomplished. About a
year ago they concluded that
they would "cut their own wheat"
and got busy, with the result
that they have a well spouting
gas and oil in paying quantities,
and values OF property have dou-
bled and the town and country
are on the boom.
The same conditions prevail in
southern Idaho and eastern and
central Oregon in the way of
transportation facilities and the
people are awakening to the fact
that if this country is provided
with the proper railroad facilities
they will have to take a hand in
the work of construction of the
lines they want built. The atti-
tude of Hartman on the ques-
ton of development of acountry
by construction of railroad lines
is shown by the following:
Portland, Ore, Feb. 24-E. HI.
Hartman has sent the following
telegram to governor Chamber
lain:
"Hot Wells, San Antonio,
Texas, Feb. %, 1909.-Hon'
George Chamberlain, Salem, Or:
Investigation all completed.
Construction already authorized.
Matter in hands oflocal shippers.
Is there anything else | can do ?
81 told the delegation from.
Coos Bay that | would recon-
mend construction of road to
that point if they could satisfy
us that it would earn 4 per cent
on cost or have that amount
guaranteed each year for a term
of years. This still holds good
to you or them. E. H. Harri-
man."
By this message Mr.. Harri-
man places all responsibility for
the speedy construction of the
Deschutes branch upon the shout
ders of j. P. o. Brien, general
manager, and w. w. Cotton,
chief counsel of the Oregon lines.

oRMER NORWICH PASTOR
ON COLLEGE EDUCATION
Would Do IL He Was to Go to Coll
lese Again.

Some sterling advice to those enter
ing college is given in an article by
Rev. Thomas Simms, formerly pastor
of the East Main Street Methodist
church. but now located in Braintree,
Mass. This article won honorable
mention in a prize contest last month,
the subject being If l Were to Go to
College Again. 1t is as follows:
Granted that as a youth l possessed
the same experience and wisdom
which mature years have brought me,
l should select a COLLEGE having for
its president a strong virile, ccnsci-
entious man, in whom the students
have the utmost confidence, and who
inspires men to covet a noble man
hood. / should decide upon a, college
which. while giving due prominence
to physical training, does not subor-
dinate all else to athletics.
The college of my choice would be
one where the fraternity spirit is nor
college and where the expenses of
societies and fraternities do not en-
barrass students of average means.
While in college. / should. through
the gymnasium and by other methods.
seek to build up a strong physical
body, to serve me in good service
through the stress and strain of the
many years tnat follow.
My relations to the college faculty
ought to be quite different from that
which obtains in many quarters. As
Stunning that they are men of superior
ability, without whom it would be
impossible for a college to exist, it
would be wise for me to avoid a
spirit of hostility. criticism and aloof-
ness and in every possible. way to
avail myself of the advantages that
would result from a friendly attitude
toward them and of close personal
contact. It would be a great gain to
me while in college IL I were able to
keep free from all hostile criticism of
men. addresses and sermons.
Approaching the great value of
friends and the rare opportunity COL
lege affords for cultivating a body of
sincere friends, to whom | may be

slow to choose and eager to hold as

purpose and sterling Qualities. 'AIlegi-

As a student it would be my pur-
pose. while seeking to learn, something
about many things, to become an au-
thority upon one line. philosophy, his

end of the freshman year is none too
early to begin this specializing.
1t might be wise for me to make
confidant of a sane college graduate,
either of or outside the college, with
whom 1 might consult and up to
whom might look for counsel
As a student, it would be my aim
to master subjects, rather than par
ticula- textbooks, and TO gain a broad
and accurate knowledge rather than
to make fine recitations-to learn to
think, to ask of myself questions and
seek for answers and to learn the inn
portant art of investigation.
As to finance-were | TO earn my
way through college it would be wise
for me to do a maximum of wage
earning during vacation, so as to de-
vote the maximum of time while coll
lege was in session to regular college
work. 1t would be folly for me to
devote the. major part of my time
while in college to earning money,
and far better either to borrow. secur-
ing myself by a life insurance policy
of a thousand or two thousand; dollars,
or prolong my course by remaining
out year or two rather than impair
my health or my scholarship by out
side work during college time.
Reaching the Junior and senior years
ii might be well for me to-seek to &C
quire that very important knack of
leading men. since every college grad
uate ought to become leader of men
in after life. $50
Upon graduation should I have
sound. strong body. a trained and sane
mind, a sweet companionable spirit

eousness and God my four years
course would be productive of the
highest permanent benefit

foolishly shun the faculty be indiffer-

Mrs. Lyman Rogers, who resides
with her daughter. Mrs. Nancy M.
Street, in. a pretty. flower surrounded
cottage ON the Gay road. Palmertown,
passed her one-hu udredth birthday
August 10. Today Mrs. Rogers is
mentally and ply sically more active
than the majority of persons is at the
allotted three score years and ten
and is able 10 converse interestingly
Hupcn matters that happened away
back i'm the early days of the nine-
teenth century.
When the idea strikes her, she
thinks little of taking a walk to the
homes of neighbors and deeply resents
the watchful care which. on these oc-
casions. her. relatives feel thev must
exercise. Mrs. Rogers does not wish
to be reminded of her age-that, Of
course, being a general feminine trait
and her family takes care to avoid
mention Of this in her present.
Shd was born in North Groton, now
known as the town of Ledyard, August
Is, 1909. Her maiden name was Nan
cy c., Perkins and she was one of
family of Is children of which she is
the sole survivor. She was the oldest
daughter, and the second oldest in the
family, a. brother being the eldest.
She is daughter of Russell Perkins
and Bathsheba Chapman.
When 4 "a years old she married
Charles Iandmoan Perkins, a Groton
man. Four children were born Of the
union. After the death of her first
husband she remained a widow for
six years. then married Lyman Rogers,
by whom she had five children.

on the flower beds, writes a Montville
correspondent Except for slight
deafness in one ear. no evidence of
impairment of her faculties Through
old age is apparent. Her eyes are as
bright and snappy as they were long
ago and she wore no glasses to aid
her vision.
Reminiscently she talked of old
times: There was a big family of us,
10 boys and girls. Yes. we lived diff
ferently then. 1t was hard work in
those DAYS. ~ Folks nowadays think
they had it hard working ten hours a
day. but they worked fifteen or more
hours <xsIfen i was a girl and thought
nothing tef it. And now they tell me
they are TO work only eight hours
day
@Children? o, yes I've had two
flocks of them. four in one flock and
Ave in the other. and there's just one
of each flock left We didn't have so
many fame ythings to eat in those
days. We had plenty of milk and pud-l
