Conditions Along the Columbia
River Indicate Contest for
Supremacy There
THREE POWERFUL ROADS
ARE IN THE COMPETITION
Milwaukee and the O.-W. r. &
N. Are Watching Each Other
Closely and the kennewick
Northern Has Been Revived

The railroad situation has assumed
interesting conditions during the past
week. and it now looks like an inter
esting fight for position in Hanford
will ensue. says the Hanford Column
bian
Milwaukee contractors are getting
things in readiness to begin opera
tons on the line from Beverly to
I1lanford. II. c. Schell has been
awarded the contract for grading the
line from Hanford to White Bluffs
and will soon be moving dirt He
will begin at the upper end OF the
grade and work this way. The re-
mainder of the contracts have been
let.
f. L. Pittman, chief engineer OF
the Oregon Washington Railroad &
Navigation company and an assistant
were in Hanford last Sunday inter-
viewing local people in regard to the
extent of development and location OF
the Milwaukee terminal in Hanford.
Over Milwaukee Right of Way
That evening the party left for the
upriver country and went over the
Milwaukee right of way to the con-
struction camp at Beverly. Mr.. Pit
man made no statement in regard to
the intentions of his road, but was
very much interested in the activity
of the Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee officials, who were
here last week, were equally as inter-
ested in the movement of the North
Coast.
Since then the Milwaukee has plac-
ed its crew of engineers in the inn
mediate vicinity of Hanford and they
are running lines to bring the road
nearer town. 1t is said that three
surveys are to be made through the
townsite and the plans submitted to
the officials at Seattle. 1t now
seems to be the intention of the Mil
waukee to locate the road nearer the
river. Contracts for the last four
miles of the grade including the work
through the townsite has not been
definitely let on account of the posi-
BILE change in the location of the
terminal. 1t supposed that this move
is being made to force other lines to
the outskirts of the town and it may
be for other reasons.
Kennewick Northern Revived
NJ. b. Haynes of Seattle is the cour-
Ter bringing the news of the revivi-
fication of the KennewiclS Northern,
an extension of the Great Northern
to connect the North Bank division
| at Kennewick with the trunk line at
Wenatchee. This proposed route was
surveyed through the valley several
years ago.
Mr.. Haynes says the Great North
ern has recently secured the list Of
property owners along the line with
the intention of purchasing right Of
way. Several months ago J. j. Hill
president of the G. N, made state
ments that his lines would be extend

BUILDING UP HOME INDUSTRY

Campaigning to boost home indus
try is one of the most progressive OF
the modern methods for promoting
the community welfare. 1t is a move
ment economically sound and certain
Of accomplish hing the ends at which
it is aimed. Dollars that are spent
at home are the ones that swell the
local per capita circulation and make
times easy for the local merchants
and the local tradesman. The dollar
that is sent abroad is chasing a de-
Irsive profit to the purchaser Of the
goods Immediately he may be bene-
fitted but ultimately he is personally
loser in the transaction.
What has proven good for the COM
munity and the state may be extended
to the nation. 1t is asserted that the
industrial and commercial prosperity
of Germany, now 50 marked as to
he the subject of international COM
ment and international inquiry is
based on the nationwide application
of the "buy-at- home" idea.
Germany's business creed IS
summed up on ten commandments
which by means of campaign OF
education have been dinned inces-
sanity into the citizens of the Father
land till they have accepted them as
home" idea is the basis of this creed
which, it is asserted, has done more
than anything else to bring that UNI
precedented prosperity to Germany
which the nation has enjoyed in the
past two decades, In this time Ger
many has outstripped England for
the foremost position on the continent
and has become a serious rival for
America in the markets of the world.
Germanys creed follows closely the
line of argument that Abraham Lin
coin once used in discussing the tar
iff. He said he had noticed that when
an American bought pair of English
boots England got the two dollars,
but where America made the boots
We kept the boots and the two dol
lars. This is the secret of the plan to
prom ote local, state and national pros
perity.
Buying at home builds up the local
industries, it furnishes employm ent
for the local wage earners, giving
them more opportunities to work and
Steadier jobs. The Industrial payroll
is in perpetual circulation and stimu-
lates every form of industry through
out the community. The ten COM
mandments of the German people
may fittingly be applied to every COM
munity, to every state in the Union
and to the Union itself

CHEERING UP ON PUBLIC SiINTI-

Campaign managers are talking

Regarding the Substance"

1t frequently occurs that the very
best means of interpreting what a
man says is TO know what he was
talking about when he said it. On
Nov. 8, 1904, the day on which Col.
Roosevelt was for the first time elect
ed president, and after having filled
out McKipley's unexpired term, Mr..
Roosevelt said
shall have served three and a half
years, and this three and a half years
constitute my first term. The wise
custom which limits the president to
two terms regards the substance and
not the form, and under no circum-
stances will | be candidate for or
accept another nomination"
That is exactly what was said and
all that was said. Now, what does it
mean in view of the language itself,
the conditions at the time and the
reasoning that prompted it?
Disregarding the form and getting
at the substance, the objection was
and always has been that president
might yield to the temptation to en-
| ploy the power and patronage of his
i office to perpetuate himself in office.
| The reasoning applies to a second
term as welA as to third term. Such
misuse of the office is an abuse of the
power reposed in president

waive all technicality, consider his
emergency term as an elective term

! Mr.. Roosevelt declared in 1904 that
he would not be a candidate for re-
nomination. He was speaking di-
rectly of 1908, when his presidential
elective term would expire. He KEEP,
his promise. This cannot be a basis
for a refusal to lead the great peo-
pies cause to certain victory in this
crisis of 1912. He cannot refuse the
call any more than he would refuse

The sole salvation of the country
lies through the enactment of an in
come tax. Such is the position now
taken by House Leader Underwood
who had found and is promulgating q
new paramount issue. Underwood
as a prospective candidate for .nomi-
nation on the democratic ticket has
been a very active man since con-
gress convened. His latest bid for
fame is the income tax. Notwith
standing the fact that the income tax
amendment has been before the legis-
latures of the several states for the
past two years he is now springing it
as something new under the sun and
the one panacea to cure the ills OF

INDUSTRIAL MOVING PICTURES

From a suggestion credited to Mr.
S. A. Perkins, of Tacoma, one of the
live Wire publicists, and enthusiastic
boosters of the Pacific northwest, a
great form of publicity has been over
looked for Yakima Valley by not
having made and exhibited moving
picture films of the orchards, hop
yards and other Industrial develop
ments of the valley and putting these
films on exhibition at some of the
land shows in the east and in CEN
tiers of large population to give the
prospective homeseeker an actual
birdseye view of the country.
The plan is excellent, and it has
been used to good effect by other
sections of the northwest. The loyal
boosters of the Upper Snake River
Valley took up this plan several years
ago and had picture films made of
their best fields, showing methods of
cultivating, irrbgatine, harvesting,
marketing and factory scenes. They
did the same thing with their po-
tato fields and with their alfalfA
growing industry. They showed
roads. orchards and orchard homes
and made the whole Upper Snake
River Valley an open book for thou
sands of eastern people who other
wise would have had vague and shad-
owy conceptions of that section of
the western land of promise,

The whole country is waiting to
know just what the state of Virginia
is going to do about the outrage at
Hillsville. Outlaws rode down from
the mountains and wiped out the
court for no other reason than that
one of their number was the victim
of court decision. He had been
found guilty of aiding in the escape
of a prisoner and had sworn in his
wrath that he would never go to pris-
on. His confederates subjected that
judicial decision to a recall, and the
people are interested in knowing
what the outcome will be. 1t is eX-
pected that the authorities in Vir-
ginia will have to rise in their might

breakers.

Waldo had given him orders not to

Captain Hayes testified that Com

The trial was resumed today, and 1t
may be that after all the long list OF

strong indications that Lawyer Thorn,

fact that Hayes was reinstated for an

srsssivss Who Oppose Him.
Fargo, N. D., Sept. TN this state
Of North Dakota, which rejected his
candidacy for tnat OF Senator La Fol
lette Of Wisconsin In the primaries
last spring, Colonel Roosevelt threw
down the gage of battle to all Progress
sives who have either declared against
the third party or have refused to say
whether or not they will support It's
nominees.
At Grand Forks the colonel said:
81 want you to remember" address
ing IN audience Of 5000, that any
man claiming to be a Progressive who
does net support the Progressive party
is merely an ally and tool Of the re-
aCtionaries." The colonel amplifed
this thought before the Progressive
state convention at Fargo.
The colonel found three topics of
especial interest in North Dakota be-
sides his comment upon the Progress
sives who secretly are knitting him
Canadian reciprocity, tariff and boss
ism. He did not fail to tell those who
heard him that the Wilson free trade
program would do far more injury to
the farmers here than the Canadian
pact would have done.
