The Oregon Electric Company COM
pieted its first line from Portland
into the Willamette Valley two years
ago. At that time four daily trains,
with fourteen stations. furnished all
necessary accommodations. Today the
company runs forty daily trains. and
the number OF stations is ffty-four
What the next two years may bring
forth is difficult TO anticipate 1t is
not improbable that the number OF
trains viii then be one hundred or
more, with every village and town
from Portland 10 Eugene a station.

starr. Unlike Jones, Is Not Willing to
.Pay the Freight"

II the State Tax Commissioners fail
TO assess the Hartman railroads next
year at figure that will cause Messrs.
Lovett KEutschnitt. Stubhs o'Brien,
ct al to sit up and take notice, it will
be because Secretary Starr has no in
fuence with the members Of the
board. For, be it known. the sunny
tempered secretary is greatly peeyed'
and for good cause. How and Why
the crouch supplanted the grin Is
best told in the following Salem dis
patch in Saturdays oregonian:
&C. l. Starr. formerly clerk Of the
state Normal School Board and At
present secretary Of the State Tax
Commission, was the 'maddest' man
in town today.
after the normals had been put
out Of business by the Legislature,
starr visited the schools and disposed
of considerable miscellaneous state
property.
AT Ashland there was an old bus
or carriage that did not seem to be i~
demand. so Starr had il stored A few
DAYS ago he found a chance TO sell the
rig for sac and ordered it shipped to
salem by freight. The ccnsisnor failed a
to crate the bus and the railroad
company exacted a freight rate OF
three and ore-half times the regular {
rate. making a total OF
something over SsT.
Mr.. Starr has not yet made up his
mind whether TO take the $40 offered
ind pay the Southern Pacific the diff
.erence out Of his own pocket or TO
~ to induce the purchaser to annul
he bargain and make the railroad
company present Of the bus"
The Observer would suggest that
J. l. pay the SCI and use the bus in
lauling his Polk County friends back
nd forth between the Capitol City
nd the West Salem depot, free Of
harge. Such a solution Of the diff |
Guilty would assure a lively business
rom the start and would add to the
popularity as an all-round
ood fellow. True. there would be no
roft in the business; but no one has
yer yet accused Starr of being mer-
enary.

AT the meeting Of Angora goat
breeders TO be held in Dallas next
Saturday, the subject of continuing
the annual goat shows in Dallas will
come up for discussion. 1t is to be
hoped that the breeders will decide
favorably and hold bigger and better
shows than ever in future. The annual
shows held in Dallas for many years
did more TO stimulate the goat indus
try throughout the Northwest than
all other movements combined, and
the Observer believes that the breed
ers viii make serious mistake if
they drop this important feature Of
the livestock industry in the state.
Give us another goat show. It will
mean increased prosperity for the
farmers and a worldwide advertise
ment for Dallas and Polk County.

The Morning Oregonian, with its
usual enterprise, issues an excellent
New Year number. The first edition,
reaching the enormous number Of
10000 copies, was disposed of in a
few hours, and the publishers found
1t necessary to print second edition
to supply the demand. As to the ex-
cellence Of this annual, 1t is only nee
essary to say that it is up to the
Oregonian standard in every respect.
Thousands of copies of this splendid
number viii be scattered broadcast
over the Middle and Eastern States,
and the benefit which will result to
Oregon cannot be oyerestimated.
