The Spoknuo Spokesman-Review resents tli of Spokane made by the Mail Tribune for the After Only Few Moments of Deliberation. resents the criticism treatment, in,i i,n t TV W. members who are held prisoners for violating a city ordinance and speaking in the public streets, and savs that the writer must be an anarchist. This is characteristic of the Spokane attitude anyone that doesn't agree with the ruling silk socking aristocracy must be an anarchist. 1 This paper does not advocate the ideas of the I. "NY. AY. or champion the actions of its members, but it does be lieve in fail play and thinks the treatment accorded these men, not only in imprisoning theui for such a petty of fense, and maltreating thein during their incarceration, but in confiscating and destroying their newspaper, un just, unfair and nn-American. Spokane has an ordinance preventing public speaking on the streets in the business district, Out it taices a vei narrow view to construe its violation into such a heinous crime as it has been construed in Spokane. And there is absolutely no justification for the suppression of the so cialist newspaper, as free speech and a free press are the safeguards of liberty. Spokane's treatment of these men shows a deplorable lack of tact, judgment and common sense. A mountain is made out of a molehill by a bigoted ignoramus who wears the livery of chief of police, whose record as a police of ficial for many years showed him a biased, partisan and malignant prosecutor, whose great aim was to inflict pun ishment, regardless of justice. His intolerance is backed up by a "reform" mayor, anxious to make a record, by a get-rich-quick element, always ready to raise the cry of anarchist against anyone differing from them, and by a toadying press, whose reporters are kept busy magnify ing the mouthings of the prisoners to manufacture a public sentiment that will sustain the prosecution. In anv other city in the country the matter would have- been quietly and decently handled, instead of being enlarg ed to the dimensions of a dash of the classes, with a reac tion that is bound to spread the ideas that Spokane would suppress. Bigotry and intolerance never yet suppressed an idea,' and whether the socialistic propaganda is right or wrong, unjust persecution will only spread It. GOOD ROADS TWENTY CENTURIES AGO.' Charles E.

Elcctrio light Lest those of us who are wrestling with the problem of adequate highways imagme that it is one indigenous to our time, it is of interest to reflect that our predecessors in the misty beginning of the centuries were confronted with much the same quandary, says the Atlanta Constitu tion. There is, for instance, the great Appian way, which still stands in places, a monument to that stability, and permanence we are striving to rniroauce mio roauwuy im nrovement in Oregon. Discussing this wonder of the old world, the New York American recently said: "The famous Appian Way was constructed by digging two parallel trenches, three teet in deptn, at tne bottom or which were placed two layers 01 riat stones in monar, upon wnicn a layer or cooDiestones was piacea, aiso laiu in mor tar; then came a course of pebbles in concrete, over which were placed large, flat blocks of smooth lava, well joined together, forming an even, uniform surface. It was prima rily a military road, and extended from itome to jtfrundu sium, a distance of 350 miles. So perfect was the construe tion of this celebrated road that it still exists in. places as good as ever, hotwthstanding it was made mpre than 20 centuries airo It is not likely-that highways in Oregon will attain the rugged and lasting composition given in that early era of good road construction. Jut the thoroughness and energy of the Romans fur nish 'an excellent lesson to our road engineers of the 20th century. Just as they built nearly two thousand years ago "for keeps," so we can build now with a view to abiding rathei; than temporary results. 4 We will be doing fairly well, too, if even five centuries after we have passed over the land to the citizens of the future they can comment with admiring. emulation upon tne rarsight and the foresight or their ancestors. PROPOSED STATE OF SISKIYOU I (The Spokesman Review.) From tho Columbia on tho north to tho Mexican line, 1000 miles as the crow files, there aro only tho two states of Oregon and California, Many of tho people of southern Oregon foel that tlfoy aro too romoto from' their atato capital and commercial metrop olis of Portland, and others In north ern California havo felt that their political and commercial interests would bo bottorcd If a now state could bo carved out of southern Oregon and' northern California. This Idea took definite expression at a recent meeting at Medford, Or, of the Jackson County Press assocla tlon, when a resolution was adopted unanimously approving the creation of tho new state of Siskiyou, and a commlttco appointed to co-operat with tho press and tho peop0 of thp' affected territory. Whilo a way is provided by the Constitution of tho United States for of the territory of existing common-1 wealths, tho task is not an easy ono. J Tho Constitution provides that "now new state shall bo formed or erected within tho Jurisdiction of any other state, nor of two or moro states or n.irts of states without th.-. consent of tho legislatures of tho stato con-1 cerncd, as well as that of congress." Thero Is only ono prccedont, Tho Spokesman-Review believes, of the creation of n now stnto out of terri tory cut away from an old state, and In that Instanco tho act was somewhat I outsldo of tho Constitution, Virginia having adopted an ordlnanco of seccs- ion, tho western counties of the stnto, largely peopled by loyal unionists, re fused to bo bound by tho seceding legislature, and the now statq of West Virginia was set up and recognized by congress. In many Instances, no doubt, a feel ing of stato prldo has caused tho peo ple of sections of states to ncqulesco in tho existing stato lines nsnlnst their own best Interests. This Is no-. tably truo in the Inland Empire, whore tho northern counties of Iadbo would havo been benefited Immense-' ly by annexation to Washington. Un doubtedly If no state lines had been established, and tho peopplo of the Pacific northwest were Just now un dertaking the work of forming states, tho people of tho Inland Empire would b0 overwhelmingly in favor of a new stnto that would lacludo eastern Washington, northern Idaho, western Montnna and probably a part of eastern Oregon. has stood tho test of timo as tho safost and most economical light nnd before considering cheaper lights at tho cx perienco of people who havo used them several months nt least. 240 LIGHT AND BEAUTY Light nnd boauty glvo zost to lifo.

The loss of the Nor Star nnd of the two schoouc UOE mounted the olllcw stairs heavy North schooners meant a great deal to him nt that time. I can't uuderstaud why Floyd start Qrde. "He ought to kuow hotter than to face sure prospects of a fall blow-. I'll tan his soul for that. "I'm partly responsible," said Now- mark.v "Youl" cried Onle. "Yes. You see that Smith Mab- tcy shipment was Important enough to strain a point for and it's only twenty-four hours or so and it certainly didn't look as if It were going to blow. Poor Floyd feels bad enough." Orde began to appreciate his circum stances. The loss on the cargo of "uppers" represented $20,000 In money. As for the North Star and her con sorts, save for the Insurance, they were simply eliminated. Tho loss of $GO,000 or so on them, however, did not mean a diminution of the compa ny,' a present cash resources, to that amount and so did not Immediately affect Orde's calculations as to the payment of the notes which were now soon to come dne. Ordo disappeared for a week, his organizing abilities claimed for the distribution of the road crews. When he returned to the office Newmark showed him contracts for tho construc tion of three new vessels. "I get them for $35,000." said he, "with $30,000 of It on long time." "Without consulting men cried Orde. Newmark explained that he had real ly been taking 'advantage of a lucky opportunity. "Otherwise," he finished, "we shouldn't havo been able to get the Job done for another year. If that big Crontn contract goes through well, you know what that would mean in the shipyards nobody would get even a look In. And McLeod Is willing to giro us a price to keep his men busy. So. you see. I had to close at once." "It's a good chance, all right," ad mitted Orde. "but it never occurred to me we'd build any more vessels until we'd recovered a little." "Recovered," Newmark repeated coldly. "I don't see what "recovered' has to do with It. If the mill burned down we'd rebuild, wouldn't wo? And as we're making $15,000 a year out of our freighting It seems to me too good a business to let slip into other hands." "I suppose so," agreed Orde. "Therefore I had to act without you." Newmark finished. "Of course." agreed Orde drearily. "Joe," replied Orde, "I-I don't think I'll stay downtown this morning. I" Newmark glanced up keenly. "You don't look well," said be; "kind of pale around the glib; bilious." Orde closed his desk and went out Newmark turned back to his papers. From an Inner pocket he produced a cigar. The corners of his mouth slow ly curved In a grim smile. Ordo immediately set Into motion the machinery of banking to borrow on the California timber. Taylor took charge of this, as the only man In Monrovia who had Orde's confidence. At the end of a necessary delay Orde receiv ed notice that the west bad been heard from. He stepped across the ball to tho lawyer's office. "Well. Frank," said he, "glad we managed to push it through with so little trouble." Taylor arose, shut carefully tho door into his outer office, walked to the window, looked contemplatively out upon the hotel back yard and returned to his desk. "But there is trouble," said ho curtly. "What's tho matter,?" naked Orde. "Tho banks refuse the loan." Orde stared at.hlm In blank astonish ment "What grounds can they possibly have for that?" "It's about the title." "But I thought you went over tho title." "L did," stated Taylor emphatically, "and I'll stake my reputation as a law yer that everything Is strnlght and clear from the land offico Itself. I've wired for an explanation, nnd wo ought surely to know something defi- nlte by tomorrow." For tho first time in hfs business ca reer a real anxiety gnawed Orde's vi tals. He bad been In many tight placcSi but someuow heretofore sue- cess or failure bad seemed to hltn about immaterial, like points gained or conceded In tho game. Now tho game Itself was nt lssuo.

And I'll make If worth your while. Take Clara with .Vou. Now, straighten It out ns quick as you can. Borrow that money on It and semi It on p. d. q." Taylor hesitated. "All right," he said at Inst. "Good!" cried Ordo, rising nnd hold ing out his hnud. Ho made his way to the office of the Welton Lumber com pany. "Lock hero, Welton," be demanded abruptly when ho had reached thnt operator's private office, "how much of a cut aro you going to make this year?" "About 20.000.000," replied Welton. "Why?" "Just figuring on the drive," said Orde, nodding a farewell. Ha then drove to tho offices of all the men owning timber on the river. When "I'm &Anq to cut that whole 40,000,000." he had collected his statistics be re turned to bis desk, where be filled the backs of several envelopes with bis characteristically minute figures. He nodded his bead vigorously. "Joe." ho .called across to his part ner. "I'm going to cut that whole 40, 000,000 we have left" "Do you think you can do It? Ifs two years' work." "Sure thing," replied Orde. Then to himself be added, "I've got to." Chapter 32 OIIDE was lighting for his very I life. The notes given by New mark Ordo would come due beginning the following sum mer. Before that time Orde must bo able to meet them personally or his stock In the Doom company would be turned In to the firm. This would of course spell nearly a total loss of it as far as Orde was Concerned. The chief anxiety under which tho rlverman labored, however, was tho Imminent prospect of losing under the mortgage all the northern peninsula timber. Now, as the time approached, he realized that If he could not pay tho notes the firm would certainly bo unable to do so. What with the sec ond mortgage due two years later and to be met by Newmark, with the out standing obligations, with the new en terprise of the vessels ordered from Duncan McLeod, Newmark .Orde would be unable to raise anything like the necessary amount. lie fell upon the woods work with unparalleled fe rocity. A sale of tho 40,000.000 feet remaining of the Arm's up river hold ings, together with the tolls to bo col lected for driving the river that spring, would bring Orde through by "the skin of his teeth." J To cut lO.OOO'.OOO feet, even In these "latter days of Improve ments, would be a task to strain to the utmost every resource of energy nnd organization. Nevertheless Ordo accomplished the task. lie lived constantly 'In the woods. The Hough lied had charge of the banking, where his aggressive, brutal personality kept the railways freo from congestion. When the drive started the cut was banked for mUes along the stream, 40,000,000 feet of It. Tho strain over, Ordo faced tho task of driving tho river. From Taylor, Ordo hod sevornl com munlcntlons. The lawyer confesnod himself baflled as to the purpose of tho land otllee Investigation. The whole affair appeared to b tangled In technicalities and n unnrl of red Inpo.

(By tho Ringsidcr.) SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Dec'. 21. Thnt mast bo n blood thirsty bunah of sports down Barkorfield way. Not -satisfied with tho fight put up Inst .night by Kid Harrison and Kid Dal- ton under Qneensbery rules, they now BOXERS DELIGHT LARGE AUDIENCE Doan Wins Over Ralston Burke Puts Up Nervy Scrap Against a Much Heavier Opponent. The boxing contest Tuesday nigflht nt the Medford opera house drew a big audience, nearly every chair n tho houso being filled. Tho bill was worth tho prico of admission and then some. Tho two midgets, "Young Jeffries" want tho boys totfight it out under Lou prize ring rules. Of courso tho nutlibnues will not stand for any such proposition and the man respon sible for the suggestion is a fit sub ject for tho fool-killer. London rules havo been ou the shelf in this country for many a year and any attempt to resurrect them should bo immediately frowned upon. Anv promoter with even a half thim bleful of brains ought to know 'that n storm o fprotcct would bo raised and as the game, is getting along very nicelv in California under present conditions it is just as well not to stir up any opposition. Those op posed to boxing havo long awaited a chance to land hnrd and tho Baker field suggestion is justt ho sort of an opening that they will take advan tage of.
