The Financial Chronicle says: "Be garding the reported control of the Ore' Ron Short Line and the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company by the Union Pacific, through purchase of a majority of the stock of the Oregon Short Line, we are authoritatively informed that there has been no change in the situation re garding the Oregon Short Line stocks since the Union Pacific reorganisation acquired, some weeks ago, the block of stocks amounting to $3,460,000 from the trustees of the collateral trust mortgage ot iyi, securing union racinegold notes, 6b. While this block of stock gives the Union Pacific a preponderating holding of the Short Line's stock, of which the total is $4,778,000, it does not, we are in formed, give the company a majority in terest, nor is there any intention to dis turb the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company voting trust, which runs until 1906 " . "The importance of preserving the in dependence of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation as a terminal in the interest of three companies, the Union Pacific, Great Northern and Northern Pacific, is thought to warrant the belief that no one of these companies will attempt an inde pendent control."

There is no trnth in the report that the people of Harney county are Indig nant at the action of Judge Lewis in ad mitting Edward Oliver, the roan who shot Peter French, to bail, or that the bond is a straw one. As the prosecution presented a weak case, no other action was possible. The bondsmen are among the best business men and leading stock men in the country, who could easily raise the amount of the bond at any time on short notice. PUBLIC NOTICE.

Athena. A GOOD BUSINESS POINT. He Mentions Some of Our Business Houses. The genial Sc-ence. reDresentinsr (be East Oret;onian,was in Athena Saturday last. Air. Spence likes Athena and its people, as the following "writeup". in bis paper clearly shows: Rolling in wealth derived from golden grain, safer, surer, than the yellow nug gets of the Klondike, Athena is one of the most pioiperous little cities in Kae! em Oregon. It has a good water works system affording ample fire protection, one of the beet schools in Oregon, a suc cessful flouring mill and other industries, snd a contented population of about 1200 people. Moreover, Athena is blessed with pro gressive, wide-awake, up-to-date business men. From miles and miles around in the rich wheat districts farmers do their trading at Athena because large stocks and aharp competition have made it an advantageous point for the customer. Over a half million bushels of wheat were sold last fall at Athena, nearly all at the top prices, yet fully a qnartar of the crop is still in first hands awaiting another bulge in the market. Djbts have been paid, and there is still lots of ready ca&h for business. Drummers like to visit Athena, saying that it is one of tbe beet towns on their route. An East Oregonian representative who recently visited Athena found that tho usual depression following the holidays is now over, and that business is briek again. Curtis & Rigby, proprietors of the brick grocery, who deal in staple and fancy groceries, are young and eneigetic men who are building up an excellent business. They carry nothing but high grade goods, and make a specialty of school supplies and also musical instru ments and notions. F. C. Marquardaen, formerly of Boise uity, is proprietor of the New York Cash Store, with a slock of dry goods and gents' furnishings. Speaking of his trade, Mr. Marquardsen says that it has been very satisfactory. .With the first class line he carries, an improvement is expected. It is Frank J. Beale's pro vince to furnieh Athena's beef, lard, hams and bacon. This he dors right well, selling meats on such small mar gin that h? keeps out all competition. Ed Manass1, formerly of Pendleton, has the New Store, a merchandising es tablishment where all wants in his Hue are supplied. Mr. Manasee has an es pecially fine line of ladies dress iroods ana tancy gooas. it is in lact a metro politan stock, which explains the euccets he has already gained after a few months ol business. Max Lenin, one of Athena's most popular young business men. deals in general merchandise. The fact that Mr. Lewin has by degrees increased hie stock to large proportions, shows that be has tbe eonndeuce and trade of the pro pie. tor many years the 8t. Nichols hotel has been Athena's principal caravansary. It is so yet, for J. W. Froorae & Son, the proprietors, aeep a clean and orderly house and provide guests with excellent meals.

McKisson Will Conkst. It is settled definite! v that Rnhorl V. McKisson will contest the election of Hanna to (he United States senate. The contest will be made on the ground of fraud in the election, and the claim will be set op that several Vote A friro nnr- chased outright for Hanna. Notice of contest has to be filed within 30 dava after the election takes place, and tbe papers and evidence are now being com piled and will be sent to Washington within a few days. McKisson will at- tempt to show that Hanna did not have enough legal votes f o elect him, and that tbe only legal candidate was himself. The senate is obliged to take cognizance of tbe matter.

Five years ago Mrs. Elisba Woodford, who lives on a farm near Michawaka, Iud , placed $500 in gold in a boxful of bran in the cellar, which had served as a receptacle for eggs, says the New York Times. During Mrs. Woodford's lour weeks' absence last spring, the children decided to replace the bran to the chest, and the box was plaoed in a convenient location for the caw to reach its contents. Several weeks sgo the money was missed, but not a single member of tbe family recalled the incident of early spring. The money was given np as having been sioien. L.aet wee the cow became ill. and the Woodford's finally mourned her aeain. a veterinarian and several curl ous neighbors undertook to explain the cause oi tne animal's taking oil, and when the stomach was dissected tbe on lookers were startled to find a small Klondike. The money was counted, and proved to be Mrs. Woodford's $500 in gold. Against Mr. Cjrbett. ;The senate cimmittee on privileges and elections decided to make an adverse report on H. W. Corbett's claim to seat in the senate from Oregon. Tbe vote was 4 to 3, on party lines, except mat r-enator Burrows, republican, who was absent, was counted, upon his authority, as being in opposition to Cor belt. There were two votes, tne first being noon the motion to declare Mr uoruett entitled to nis Bar, which was r i- .. ...... .. ... supported by Messrs. Chandler, Hoar, rritcnard, republicans, and opposed by Messrs.

The mo tion was then made to declare Mr. Cor bett not entitled to his Beat, and was car ried by the above vote, reversed." New Statue of Lincoln. Siirnor Caccla's new statue of Abraham Lincoln, exhibited in the Royal Acad emy, London, is highly praised by the art critics on the other Bide, and has at tracted much attention from everybody visiting the Academy. Tbe sculptor calls it "From the Wood to the Presi dency of the United States." It ia full ol alertness and vitality snd represents Lincoln tue Doy. He is sitting in an at titudeof contemplation, his book in bis lap, and his ax resting against his knee. His costume is that of a backwoodsman, as me artist understood it. The head is finely modeled and the face is full of character. There Is no mistaking it for any other than that of the boy Lincoln, yet Caccia has so put the great character of Lincoln into it that the rugged features are Deautuui.
