to the contrary and in many similar have refused allow
hundreds OF claims to patent thus tying the coal fields
of Alaska and preventing development And since 1906 all

The cold STORAGE Crime.

When modern refrigeration became
a fixed fact it was hailed as benefit
cent system which would enable the
people of the country to enjoy the
/ fruits of the earth at a reasonable
rate the year around. But instead
1t has been turned into a means of
raising the price of living. In Port
land recently the board of health or
dered the destruction of seven thou
sand pounds of meat, some of which
had been in cold storage seven years.
From another storage plant in the
same city three tons of chicken and
turkey were ordered destroyed. 1t
ought to be made criminal offense
to keep foodstuffs in storage simply
for the Increase in price which might
be forced by an artificial scarcity.
The use of cold storage for the trans
portation of perishable foodstuffs
and for carrying eggs and fruit over
till the next season of production is
all right, but the keeping of such
foodstuffs over till they spoil while
thousands are compelled to go with
out them because of the artificial
price thus enforced is a crime which
ought to land the perpetrator behind
the bars for a long term of years.
The confiscation of all stuff held in
cold storage over a certain length of
time and its distribution free, while
yet wholesome, to the poor of the
cities would have a very deterrent
effect. If the speculator knew that
unless he sold his product by given
time it would be taken from him and
distributed he would not hold it for
eXorbitant prices. On the principle
that the raise in the price of one
commodity raises another, this would
strike blow at high living more po-
tent than any tariff or antitrust arti
Gle. 1t is the ability to hold the
product till people are compelled to
come to their price which permits the
trust. CONSUMER.

Police Protection InsufflcIent.

That Ashland's police protection is
not sufficient has been shown by the
recent burglaries. This is not at all
reflection upon the personnel of
the force. Neither is the fact that
I for several years Ashland has escaped
such depredations a proof of the su-
periority of the police protection dur
ing those years. The truth is that
Ashland, like many another town,
has been fortunate She has been
getting along nicely with a police
force of only one man to each $500
or more of population. This is far
below that required in most cities,
it usually running from one police
man to each 500 to 1000 inhabitants,
and that in cities where the bust
ness section is all contiguous. In
Ashland it is scattered over about
three-quarters of a mile of streets
and it is little wonder that there are
burglaries. 1t may not be that the
city can afford to pay sufficient
force. as is found necessary else
where, but if not it is unfair to crit
icise the police force for failing to
perform impossibilities. Ashland,
though law abiding in herself, is so
located that the problem of protec-
ton is a serious one. The keeping
of the peace amounts to nothing
here. One woman policeman could
attend to that, or a schoolboy even
But Ashland is a railroad terminal
All freight trains stop here. Every
hobo who comes in from north or
south is compelled to stop here, at
least until he can get another freight
out. The result is that the hobo
problem here is greater than at any
other place between Roseburg and
Dunsmuir. From 80 to IS arrive
every day and are started out of
town by the police. Most of them
continue on their way, but the Grim
inally inclined go distance, then
hide till night, when they come back.
In addition to this the professional
criminal, well dressed and stopping
perhaps at the best hotels, plies his
trade knowing that the unfortunate
hobo will be the first suspect, and
while the police are watching the
freight trains for them he can escape
on passenger unsuspected.
The problem is a big one; our po-
lice are trying to do their best and
should have hearty cooperation rath-
er than criticism.

whited on Railroad Watches.
tFrom Oregonian OF Nov. 1Ol

(From Oregonian of Nov. 10.)
Ashland, Ore. Nov. ITO the
Editor The article in the Oregon
ian regarding the order of the Illi-
nois Central Railroad officials that
trainmen must not carry pictures on
the glass or dial of their watches
does not, in my opinion. give the Of
ficials quite a fair shake"
The efforts of executive officers
in railway service is to promote in
every way efficiency of service. The
public constantly and strenuously de-
mand this. One of the items that
20 to make efficient service is cor
rect timepieces in the hands of all
men dealing with moving trains.
The time service is organized into
a complete system requiring these
men constantly to carry watches of
high grade American make, of a GER
tain high standard of quality. which
includes a large size watch, close
rate and a clear dial, to be kept in
perfect order. to be inspected, rated
and all details recorded at regular
intervals.
If the watch of an engineer stops
from any cause he is at once handed
the watch of his fireman or brake
man, which he takes in full knowl-
edge that it is equal to his in all
respects. He is thus placed immedi-
ately in position to handle the train
on its regular time. thus eliminating
what might be a serious crisis-an
engine crew without correct time.
I have seen watches with the glass
nearly covered with picture MAX
ing time-telling by one not accus-
toned to the watch a puzzle. To an
, engineer in dark cab, endeavoring
to make close meet with swift
train, this picture easily confuses the
figures sufficiently to make an error
of five or more minutes extremely
probable.
The sentiment that meant much to
the brakeman means little to the en-
gineer and still less to the passengers
whose lives are endangered by uncer-
tainties in time. They are not then

Better Accommodations Needed.

Editor Tidings: Kindly give me
space in your public forum to call
attention to violation of the stat
utes of the state of Oregon by the
Southern Pacific Railway Company.
The statutes provide that all passen-
ger waiting rooms shall be OPEN and
comfortably heated at least half an
hour before the arrival or departure
of trains. 1t also provides that there
must be fresh and pure drinking wa
ter kept in such waiting rooms. In
the case of the motor depot the re-
quirements of the statute are not
being fulfilled. Often there is no
fire when needed. Neither is there
water kept in the waiting room at
the motor depot. The same law re-
quires separate toilets for men and
women. But one toilet is provided
and this, though marked for women,
is of necessity used by both sexes.
Probably were the attention of the
railway officials called to this con-
dition of affairs it would be rene

or later in case a wreck occurs. able
to appreciate the inspiration to a
higher duty the picture on a fire
mans or brakeman's watch was to
an engineer who could not tell the
time by it and thereby caused the
wreck.
The officials who formulate these
rules are working night and day to
promote this efficiency of service:
endeavoring to make every employe
when at work give the best that is in
him to accomplish these ends, yet we
seldom give them much consideration
on ordinary occasions unless it is to
ask for new depots or some expendi-
'ture of money; yet when accidents
occur the men higher up" get scant
courtesy, often rank injustice.
In fact, the attitude of the public
as expressed in the laws, decisions of
the courts and commissions, articles
in magazines and newspapers practi-
cally resolves itself into a new "Dred
Scott decision"-the railways have
no rights that the public is bound to
respect. In fact, no large corpora
tion has any rights that the public is
bound to respect.
| observe that magazines as Tech
nical World, Hearsts and other peri
odicals and many newspapers seldom
if ever print an article in which it
ever enters for a moment that any
demand for lower rates, better SER
vice, bigger wages, more trains, elm
ination of grade crossings, better de-
pots, more supervision or more COM
missions should not be instantly
granted or put into effect
The usual final penalty proposed is
government ownership, through
which an endeavor is made to escape
partial monopoly by establishing an
all pervading monopoly from which
the only escape is death 'or emigra-
tion and before which all efforts to
mitigate evils fail through the we'll
established inertia of bureaucrats
