No. 54, the new northbound train
which passed through Tuesday even

passengers. The southbound which
went through at o'clock Wednesday
morning was run in two sections and
promises to become one OF the most

Railroads Will
Spend Millions

Two separate Oregon railroads an
nounced new development projects
last week. Work will be started at
once and will mean the expenditure
of several million dollars. There is
now more work going forward and
being planned for this year in rail
road development in Oregon than in
any other state in the Union. The
new projects announced last week
are as follows:
The Oregon Washington Railway
& Navigation Company will build a
thirty-mile extension to its line re-
Gently completed from Vale to River
side, Ore. The extension from River
side will be westward to Crane Creek
Gap.
The Southern Pacific announced it
would electrify between Whiteson
and Corvallis, distance of 43 miles,
as an extension of the electric unit
between Portland and Whiteson,
which until July l is known as the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern railway.
The work of the Oregon Washing
ton Railway & Navigation Company
will cost $1,500,OOO or more. N
In southern Oregon several mil
lions will be spent in railroad work
during the year. The Grants Pass
municipal railroad, which was taken
over by the Twohy interests, will be
extended into a heretofore undevel-
oped country immensely rich in tim
ber, mining and agricultural re-
sources.
The city of Roseburg has voted
100000 bond issue to build a rail-
road to the Cascade forest, contin-
gent upon which Kendall Brothers
lumber interests will build a $4,000
600 sawmill and engage in extensive
numbering projects.

Cantine Made Head
Of Highway Work

BY a resolution adopted Tuesday,
the Oregon highway commission de-
posed State Engineer John H. Lewis
as state highway engineer and put
his chief deputy, Z. |. Cantine, in
charge of all highway work save that
initiated prior to May 20. State
Treasurer Thomas B. Kay introduced
the resolution, which was supported
by Governor James Withycombe and
opposed by Secretary of State Ben w.
Olcott.
The resolution came as a climax to
controversy as to whether State
Engineer Lewis or his chief deputy
has highway engineer under a law
passed by the last legislature, merg-
ing the office of highway engineer
with that OF state engineer.

Club May Occupy
Larger Quarters

With the expansion of the Com
mercial Club the present quarters
threaten to become rather crowded
and there has been some talk of NOV
ing to larger quarters upon further
expansion of the club. The following
discussion appeared in the Mail Tri-
bune recently from the pen of w. H.
Day of Ashland
Contingent upon further eXpan-
sion as to membership, the CONNER
cial Club plans to occupy enlarged
quarters accordingly. A project is
under way whereby the organization
may become housed in the Mccarthy
block, on West Main street, occupy
ing those entire quarters which are
now available. The armory formerly
was located on the second floor of
this building and 1t Is equipped with
every requisite in the way of lobby,
auditorium, kitchen and pantry. The
auditorium affords one of the finest
dancing floors in town, and is also
suited for other social functions. The
plan is to locate the offices, reading
and billiard rooms on the first floor,
leaving the second floor to be used
as above indicated. The location is
an ideal one, with a north frontage,
and is situated on the principal thor
oughfare through town, where all the
travel over the Pacific highway
would pass directly by its doors.
THE club membership is now 375,
but this is far from the high water
mark which the promoters of the or
ganization hope to attain in the near
future If these expectations are
realized the change will be effected,
inasmuch as the club has received an
offer from the owners of the property
in the way of rental which is consid
cred minimum one in view of the
advantage to be derived. The wom-
ems auxiliary of the Civic Improve
ment Club is a prominent factor in
the commercial body, and the con-
templated change would afford the
ladies ideal quarters in which to hold
their gatherings"

WOMEN AND MEN AS BUYERS.

II is generally admitted that wom-
en- buy closer than men do. They
have a keen sense of values in house
hold furnishings. clothing and food
supplies. The family where the wom-
an does the buying usually lives
cheaper than the home with man
as purchaser.
One principal reason for this con-
trast is that women read newspaper
advertising very closely. While the
men are reading baseball or politics,
the women are after the store news.
They examine It thoroughly and any
announcement OF special values, bar
gain sales. odd lots, closing out sales,
is studied word for word.
After a woman has looked over the
newspaper and starts down on a
shopping expedition she knows pretty
nearly what she wants. She passes
the non-advertising store, feeling that
II It wanted her trade or had any
thing to offer of special interest, II
would have told the public about It.
She heads for the places that pub
lished special offers. believing that
a merchant must know an article had
good value, or he would not have
dared give the publicity TO II.

AGAINST LABOR LEG
ISLATION.

California, Oregon and Washington
legislatures followed the expressed
will of the people and defeated pro-
posed new labor laws. In the Novem-
Der election all eight-hour laws and
other laws put on the ballot to ham,
per industries were defeated by the
voters OF the three states. The legis-
latures of the three states enacted
laws to curb egressions by unions and
organized labor, recording reaction
against radicalism.
Washington passed an anti-picket-
ing law, California prohibits limiting
number of apprentices, and Oregon
annulled the eight-hour law as ap-
piled to certain industries.
Washington legislature repealed a
full-crew law and eight-hour law on
public work, the governor vetoing the
measure.
The legislatures enacted no new
labor laws or radical legislation of
any kind whatsoever.
The legislatures of the three states
went further and repealed existing
laws and enacted new laws bitterly
by labor politicians.

WORKING FOR PUBLIC IMPROVE
MENT.

The death of so prominent a news
paper man as William Rockhill Mel
son, publisher of the Kansas City
Star, always raises the question
among newspaper workers and read
ers as to how such great journal
istic success had been achieved.
One reason why the Star has had
so deep a hold on its home constitu-
ency has been the fact that it was
such a persistent worker for local i'm
provements. Street paving, parks,
art gallery, these were only few of
the things for which the Star la
bored in and out of season.
Public improvements come slowly.
The majority of the people in the
average community would naturally
be contented with rather slovenly sur
roundings. They enjoy spruceness
neatness and handsome architecture,
II provided ready made. But as to
improving their own properties oil
paying taxes for public improvements
they are loath to help.
But every place has its men with
a vision. They see the defects in a
towns appearance and realize what
more adequate surroundings would
mean. In the forefront of these men
with large hopes is almost always the
home newspaper. 1t usually is not 6
heavy taxpayer. But it pays its fail
share. either directly or indirectly, il
rentals which enable real estate own
ers to pay the taxes.
Agitation for public Improvement
would not get far without the news
papers. While the majority of tn
people OF most towns are indifferen
TO civic beauty, or loath to give up
few dollars extra tax, the newspape
has faith in the future and a discon
tent with what is sordid or primitive
Only rarely is the field big enougl
to win any such reward as came t
the distinguished publisher Of tn
Kansas City Star. But the newspa
pers should be able, and usually ar
able, to look about TO this and tha
permanent possession, and feel tha

LEGIsLATED TO A sTANDsTILL.

That has been the condition OF the
United States for the past three years.
In five years $4,000 new laws and
5000 high court decisions were en-
acted and rendered.
There has got to be less legislating
and more deliberation about passing
laws before business can possibly re-
vive.
Presidents Roosevelt and Taft
when in office both declared Elihu
Root was the ablest man in American
public life.
Senator Root told the New York
Merchants Association the other day
that making laws by congress and
state legislatures had grown to be a
gigantic excess and danger.
Senator Root intimated that the
public is largely responsible for this
appalling multiplication of laws, and
his indictment is just.
Over a long period we have been
making the mistake OF measuring the
capacity of congressman or a men,
ber of the legislature by the number
of bills he could put through the two
houses and cap with executive ap-
proval.
A member returning after the ses-
sion without several new laws to his
credit has been looked upon as unin-
fluential and a failure.
In future the legislator who helps
repeal laws, who votes to kill new
bills, and who gets up no new laws
will be most highly appreciated.

CONCESSION IN SLEEPING CAR
SERVICE.

The Great Northern Railway has
cut the time from Seattle to st. Paul
by eight hours and made a concession
on sleeping car service.
On through tickets an order has
been issued granting stopover priv
ileges on sleeping car tickets-some-
thing never done before. For in
stance, a passenger could stop over
at Spokane for a day and not have
to buy a local sleeper ticket on to
the coast. The same rule applies
either way going or coming and will
be great saving to the travelling
public.
II is probable that the Pullman Car
Company will reluctantly make the
same concession.

You remember Noah had to work
a long time on that ark. 1t was up
hill business, too, at best; building a
boat away out on the dry land, while
the local anvil and hammer club sat
around splitting tobacco juice upon
his lumber, whiting up his pine
boards with their jackknives and tell
ing him what a fool he was for ex-
pecting rain in a country that was
too dry to grow alfalfa. But finally
the flood came, and every mothers
son of the croakers were drowned.
That is the only instance we know
of in either sacred or profane history
where a bunch of hammer wielders
got exactly what was coming to them.
