An instance of the advance of
realty values in Portland during the
past so years was brought up lately
when the corner at Fifth and Nor
rison streets sold for $405, 900 and
an additional $4,000 was paid for
the transfer of the leases. Peter w.
Severson, who has sold the property,
owned it for fifty-one years. 1t
was literally forced upon him as
apparently of little value. He
was then owed a weeks wages by
the owner of the property, who also
borrowed Severson's shotgun and
lost it. The man who held the
lot offered the property in lieu of

1t does not look reasonable that
there is man living in this country,
whether he resid es at Salmon river,
Yaquina bay or the extreme Eastern
end OF this country, who could not
see the advantages to be gained to
the whole county by the creating of
the Port. The taxes will be
nothing compared to the advance
ment OF property values. The in
dividuals tax will amount to very
to very little anyway, as the big
timber and railroad companies will
have to pay The large portion of the
tax. After the port is formed and
the rivers improved we believe the
people will be so well pleased with
the results that they will waut to
form district of the county to bond
and build modern wagon roads.
Which we believe is the only way
we can hope to construct many good
roads.

Col. E. Hofer
Talks Development
The Colonel Speaks to Toledo
Citizens on the Question
of a Port.

Col. Il. Hofer, editor OF the Cap
itol Journal of Salem and President
of the Oregon-Idaho Development
Congress, spoke to the citizens of
this community at Woodman Hall
in this city last Wednesday evening
The colonel Is one OF Oregon's
greatest boosters, in fact he does
nothing else but boost, not only for
his home city of Salem, but for the
whole state of Oregon and his speech
last Wednesday evening was an
enthusiastic and instructive effort
along this line.
At the beginning of his talk he
explained the workings of the
D,59,o pn3lt Congress, OF how
through this organizations efforts
laws had been enacted in Idaho
allowing people to form districts for
the purpose of constructing railroads
and how the same amendment was
passed at the last Oregon Legislature
and on which the people of this
state at the coming election in Nov
ember will vote. This law will
allow the people to form districts
to build wagon and railroads, the
same as the law enacted at the last
Legislature regarding the forming of
port districts to improve the water
ways. This law allowing the people
to create ports is the one under
which the people of this county are
working to create the port of Lin
coin County.
The Colonel explained how they
were proceeding to create these ports
at Siuslaw, Tillamook and other
places where ports are being formed.
He told us how the business con-
ditions are being stimulated at these
places where ports are being formed
because the people are determined
to help themselves by improving
their rivers. How the railroads are
pushing to there points to be in
readiness to handle the business.
How the property was advancing,
and how there was general spirit
OF progressiveness and prosperity.
He said the same things would oc-
cur in this country when this port
is assured. Mr.. Hofer is so sure the
port of Lincoln County will be
formed and that things will boom
here that he invested in several
town lots in this city. He says he
wants to be in Oh the ground floor
before the raise of property comes.
The colonel returned to Salem
Thursday morning, but will return
next Monday evening to meet with
the development league and port
committee at their meeting at New
port on that night.

more houses needed here. Many
families will come here by the saw

few houses to rent now. Some of

a better way to invest some of their
money than by building ten Or
twenty cottages to rent.

Miss Musgrove threw little light on
the mysterious tragedy of Thursday
night in which the young woman was
fatally shot and her companion,
Clarence Grimshawe, was wounded by
two pistol balls. The dying declara-
ton of the girl was read, saying she
had been attacked by negro. Grim
shawe's deposition was presented, de-
claring he was shot from behind by
an unknown party.
The police established an alibi for
the girls three brothers and suggest
ed the theory that Grimshawe shot
the girl though no explanation in that
event of the wounding of the man was
attempted.

wrecked, which made it necessary for
him to "foot" it into Columbia, dis
tance of several miles, in the night
time.

A CHICAGO GIRLS KICK.
With One Blow From Her Boot She
Kills q Bulldog.

With one kick Of her right foot Mil
dred Wilson, of West Randolph
street, Chicago, few days ago, broke
the neck of a large bulldog that at
tackled her on the way home from a
nearby store. Miss Wilson, who Is a
slender girl, 10 years old, has been
practicing stage dancing, and to this
she gives the credit of having been
able to ward off the attack of the ami
NAL. She was returning from the
store with her arms full of bundles
when the dog rushed at her. She
jumped to one side.
Before the dog could attack her
again Miss Wilson was prepared, and
as the animal jumped she swung her
right foot, which was encased in a
heavy walking shoe, against the dog's s
chin, much in the manner in which a
football player kicks goal. The dog
gave an agonized yelp and dropped in
it's tracks dead. No sooner had the
girl realized what she had done than
she began to cry out of sympathy for
the animal that had attacked her.

LOCAL OPTIONIST WINS.
Emmett A. O'Neal Nominated for
Governor.

Montgomery, Ala, May 2.-Em-
NETT A. O'Neal, leader of the fight
against the recent proposed amend
ment to put prohibition in the consti-
ton of Alabama, defeated H. S. D.
Mallory, supporter Of the amend
ment, by a majority of between 90
900 and $4,000 for governor in the
Democratic primaries held in Ala
hama to-day. United States Senator
John H. Bankhead received vote
which will probably equal the COM
bined vote of his two opponents, John
B. Knox and Frank S. White, and is
assured of a new term in the senate
The claim is made tonight that the
majority of the delegates to the State
convention, which meets on May Is,
will stand for local option and will in
sist on a modification of the present
Statewide prohibition laws. It is
also claimed that majority of the
State senate will favor local optlon'
although the attitude of majority OF
the members of the house will not be
known until later.
1t is accepted as certain that the
prohibition Jaws of the State will be
modified.
The anti-amendment candidates on
the State ticket appear to have made
a clean sweep.
The lines drawn in the recent pro-
hibition amendment campaign were
maintained in the primary to-day. The
candidates who supported the amend
ment received practically the same
vote as cast for the amendment, while
the anti-amendment candidates re-
ceived the majorities cast in the va
rious counties against the prohibition
amendment.

FUEL OF THE FUTURE.
Oil May Supplant Coal in the United
States Navy.

Substitution of oil for coal as fuel
on United States cruisers and battle
ships is being so seriously contem-
plated by the naval authorities that
it's early adoption by the navy is now
generally considered certain. Recent
experiments have demonstrated, it is
reported, that the plan is not only
feasible, but a great improvement
over the use of coal. It not only gives
the ships a greater steaming radius,
according to experts, but it elimin-
ates the telltale trail Of smoke that
in the event of war could easily be-
tray the whereabouts Of fleet.
Vessels now being built for the
United States government are being
equipped with auxiliary oil apparatus.
This is regarded as the first step OF
the government in it's contemplated
plan to eliminate the use of coal. II
the results prove satisfactory and it
can be demonstrated that Vessel OF
war can be better propelled by the
power derived from the use of oil as
locomotives are in the west, then the
substitution of oil for coal will be
made.
The change, it is believed, will he
of great benefit, as it will enable the
government to dispense with the SER
vices of half of the men now employ
ed in the boiler rooms, will save
space, do away with smoke and elimi-
nate the laying up of vessels for days
at a time in order to take coal sup
ply aboard. A way can be devised
for the filling of the oil tanks Of the
vessels in a few hours. At present
several days are lost in filling the
bunkers with coal.

JURY INDICTS PACKERS.
Presents Bill Against Firms and Indi-
viduals.


Savannah, Ca, April 30.-As a re-
suit of the investigation which has
been carried on by the federal jury
here for several days into the prices
of meats in Savannah and the causes
for them, an indictment was returned
against five Of the big packing con-
Germs and three men, local managers
of three of the packing houses, as
individuals.
The investigation began when the
jury heard an arraignment of the
so-called beef trust, delivered by
Judge Emory Speer.
The indictment is brought against
Cudahy & Co., the Schwartzchild &
Sulzberger Beef company, Swift &
Co., the Armour Packing company
and the Nelson Morris company as
corporations and Fred M. Hull, Jr.,
as local manager for the Nelson Nor
ris company; William D. Cooper, as
local manager for Armour & Co., and
Emmet B. Adams, as local manager
for Swift & Co. The Savannah rep
resentatives of the two other packing
houses named in the indictment are
not mentioned.
The datee of operations for which
the indictment is brought is for the
year 1908.
1t is alleged that the packing hous-
es named in the indictment bought
and slaughtered live stock at various
points in the West and Northwest,
shipped fresh meats to Savannah, re-
duced the price of meats and sold
them on the market at loss. The
result of this manipulation is alleged
to have compelled the South Atlantic
Packing and Provision company OF
Savannah to sell it's product at loss
and was a conspiracy in restraint Of
business, trade and commerce. The
intent of the larger packing houses
is alleged to have been to force the
local house out of the field of compe-
tition.
The second count alleges that be-
tween June 10 and August 1, 1908,
all of the defendants effected a combl-
nation whereby they fixed arbitrary,
non-competitive and exorbitant
prices for meats, thus eliminating
that competition which should natur-
ally exist among them.
William D. Cooper, one Of the de-
PENDANTS, is now in Nashville, Tenn,
and Fred NJ. Hull, Jr., is at Little
Rock, Ark. 1t is expected that SER
vice will be effected Immediately on
the defendants and bonds made.
In discharging the grand jury
Judge Speer said that acknowledge
ments were gratefully returned to
that body for what was sure had been
valuable service to the public.
Two assistants to the attorney gen.
eral, w. L. Gregg and o. E. Hagan,
have had the matter of the investiga-
ton in charge, and probably will re-
main here for several days longer.
The indictments are brought under
the act of congress Ito protect trade
and commerc against unlawful re-
straints and monopolies." The al
legged offense is punishable by fine
not exceeding $4,000 on each count
or a penitentiary service of year or
both.
The action of the grand jury came
not at all as a surprise. The status
of the Savannah meat prices has long
been the basis for comment and it was
known yesterday that an indictment
was being drawn by experts.

What Science Says of Alcohol.
amendment

~ LILO ID oil c5O LII LAS AAASSSAS ~ Wv
temperance reform when science
comes to the front, turning her X-rays
upon alcohol, and shows just what it
is. With unerring certainty it seeks
to focus the eyes of the world upon
this poison, and proclaims it to be an
enemy deserving nothing short OF de-
struction and death up to within a
few years men have looked upon the
effects of drink, and turned away
with disgust, while the State has built
refugees in which to punish the vic
tins and get them out OF the pubic
eye. Science now steps forward, calls
the attention away from results ana
fixes it upon the cause, and says:
Behold in alcohol a deadly enemy.
It has no redeeming feature. 1t
strikes at every vital organ in the
human body and leaves it worse than
it found it. 1t creates an appetite for
itself, that it may more surely do It's
work, and attacks the mental, moral
and physical powers at one and the
same time. It deceives its victim
into believing that it will cool him in
the heat of summer, and warm him
in the cold of winter. 1t points the
way from virtue to vice, and marks
out the road to the Jail, the work
house, the prison, and the galloWs.
It breaks down the will power and
laughs at it's slave as he tries to
break his chains"
Thus speaks science, and it is en-
couraging to note that many OF the
daily papers and most of the religious
journals are giving voice and wings
to the utterances of some of the lead
Ting scientists and physicians of the
world. Many of the latter say alco-
hol has no virtue as a medicine, and
have excluded it from their practice
In a recent article by Woods Hutch
inson, A. NJ, M. D., he makes the
following points worth needing:
"No human being ever developed
an instinct or natural liking for alco-
holic drinks. ~. -.>.,.
"Alcohol is a toxin or poison, pro-
duced by one germ to destroy an
other.
''The seeming Improvement in ones
physical condition that alcohol some
times produces is wholly imaginary
and due merely to a deadening of the
nerves.
"While the taking of true foods
produces a sense of safety, alcohol
produces only an appetite with no
natural or self-acting limitations.
"Is it reasonable to conceive that
drug which has an unvarying ten
dency to exaggerate and increase all
that is worst in US, can possibly have
an improving and Strengthening in
fuence upon our higher powers and
tendencies?"
We could quote from hundreds Of
leading men, did space permit. Let
the voice of science be heard and
needed. Let the truth be thundered
from the pulpit, and in burning words
taught to the youth in the Sunday
and public schools. Draw the pro-
hibitory line, not simply at the thres-
hold of the saloon, the brewery ana
distillery, but also at the door of .he
