Atlantic He
and Numerous Committees to Keep
Them Straight
THE PA UL HOUR ROAD ADOPTED.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce
met last Monday night and listened to
an elaborate report and made long
speeches and listened, to others and then
"resolved" by a vote of twenty to seven
-to adopt the Paul Mohr proposition for
the dalles of the Columbia. This plan
contemplates a road on the Washington
side commencing at or near Columbus
. and having its western terminus oppo
site Crates' Point. .The Norton line was
left severely out in the cold. Engineer
. Bogue estimated that itrould cost not
less than $641,000, which is a wide di
vergence from the estimate of Lieutenant
Xqrton.' Another proposed line' -which
would Darallel the present V. P. line
shared a similar fate. It is estimated to
cost $400,000. This is the line proposed
. in the Ralev bill which . it was said
would cost a million. Still another line
was talked of, the cheapest of the lot,
: commencing at a point opposite Celilo,
on the Washington side, and ending be
low Three Mile rapids. The cost of this
line is estimated at 1347,000. The line
adopted by the Chamber of Commerce is
- estimated to cost (640,000. The citizens
of Portland and others are Risked to take
300,000 of the first mortgage six per
eent. forty-year bonds of this Paul Mohr
company. These bonds are to cover all
the DTODertv of the company and the
eompany binds itself to have the road
completed within eight months from the
time, when it shall be notified that the
full subscription has been made up.
The conditions on both eides are sub
stantially the same as those already pro
posed by this company and need not be
repeated here. " The road will undoubt
edly be built sometime by somebody but
we shall be agreeably surprised if it is
ever built by any effort of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce. - If it could be
built with wind that body would un
doubtedly let the-contract forthwith.
But it takes money to build railroads,'
and if their generosity toward The
Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navigation
company is any criterion by . which to
judge their future conduct it will be a
long time before that 1300,000 will ma
terialize into the pocket of Paul Mohr. "J

Ji the holy coat at Treves has only
been able to perform twelve miracles of

even these twelve are not such as the
authorities there are careful to endorse,
it may well be believed that the virtue

any. There are millions in it, however,
for the cathedral and clergy.
Baker City must be in a bad way
financially. A late number of the Demo

To relieve the anxious mind of the

to say that it is not losing any sleep over
the question of the candidacy of Binger
Hermann but it dislikes amazingly to
see its esteemed contemporary lead a
crusade against a man who has the re

party but of a large number of his polit

valid reason for its opposition than the
admitted fact that Mr. Hermann is
good at shaking hands. '
The subject of irrigation is' receiving a
share of public attention never given to
it at any previous period of the nation's
history. The states west of the Rocky
" . mountains" have several ably conducted
' journals exclusively devoted, to" matters
connected with irrigation, and the con
vention lately held at Salt Lake City,
- with others in. contemplation, will do
- much towards formulating some practi
cal scheme for rendering fruitful vast
tracts of land in what is known as the
arid region. For the reclamation of
other lands the late report of the com
missioner of the general land office fol
lows the trend of public opinion when it
suggests their transfer to the direct con
' trc4of the several states in which they
are situated, subject to such restrictions
and limitations as would insure their re
clamation, and the transfer of their title
from the the sfates, in the first instance,
to "actual settlers, in quantities not to
exceed 160 acres to each settler. .
The Oregonian has today vindicated
its reputation as a great "newspaper by
writing a perfectly- fair and impartial
report of the. sentiment of the people of
this city with reference to the charges
made against Superintendent Farley in
the columns of that journal by some
sneaking coward who . stole another
man's name to do it with. Speaking for
himself the editor of the Cuboxiclk
thanks the Oregonian for the article
because it has given the outside world
an opportunity of judging impartially
of matters in which the Chbokicxe has
been largely interested, . which the Ore
gonian never had a chance perhaps of
placing in their true light before. The
Chronicle is perfectly willing to abide
by the judgment that fair minded men

A. government ; that . guarantees the
greatest liberty to the individual, social.
civil and industrial, consistent with flo
ciul order and equity and interferes the
. least with private affairs,, is a govern
ment of the people and for the people,
and is undoubtedly the best foriu of gov
ernment and the only, form in accord
' with the natural laws of . human life.
It is baser! on the individual consent of
the governed, is a government represen
tative of the people, and is good or bad
in its laws and in its administration just
as the people are good or bad and intelli
gent or ignorant. It should never be
forgotten that the people make the gov
ernment are the government, in fact
and not the government the people.
While the politicians are fighting like
Kilkenny cats and lying like dhunder
and blitzen about tariff and tin plate
the government pursues the even tenor
of its way opening np new -markets for
'American products and making recip
rocal treaties that are full of promise of
;. good times. ' Uncle Jerry Knsk has in
duced the German government to re
scind the order prohibitingtheimporta-
! tion of American hog meats, and after
January 1st German beet sugar will be
. admitte l free to the United States. The
former measure will open .tip a great
market to American producers and the
latter, it is hoped, will give the sugar
monopoly a death blow, from which; it
will never recover. "
Owing to reciprocity anangements
with Cuba on the first of January next
the duty on flour will be so reduced on
shipments to that island that instead of
costing, as it does at present, $11.70 a
barrel delivered in Havana, it will cost
but $6.50. This reduction is expected to
produce a demand for American flour
equal to the amount consumed, which is
more than 15,000,000 sacks annually, and
already thousands of barrels have been
purchased in anticipation of the open
ing of this new market. ,

What the ' farmers can accomplish
when they become solidly united for
their own protection and benefit was
well illustrated a short time ago at Ror-
den.a town on the Northern Pacific
railroad. The Farmers' Alliance had
built a warehouse in opposition to the
Northern Pacific Elevator company, but
th 3 railroad company refused to lay a
sidetrack to the building. Then the
farmers promptly refused to sell the ele
vator company a pound of their wheat at
any price, and the side track was laid at
once.
Hakbisbcro, Perm., Oct. 13. The
special session of the state senate was
called to order this "morning. The gov
ernor's message calling the session was
read. In it he said the session was con
vened to take action in relation to the
alleged misconduct of the heads of two
departments of tiie state government,
as well as other elective officers. The
governor reviewed at great length the
testimony taken by the various commit
tees which have been investigating the
affairs of Bardsley, the Philadelphia
treasurer, who is now in the peniten
tiarv, and Beverly arraigning Henry
Bover, state treasurer and Thomas Me-
Caman, auditor general of the state, for
their connection with Bardsley's rnisdo
ings. In conclusion the governor said
the responsibility of determining
whether a reasonable cause exists for re
moval, rests with the senate and public
It was expected it would be met and
discharged without regard to partisan
advantage and to honor the common
wealth.
A committee charged with the invest!
gation of the department of auditor gen
eral and state treasurer, this morning
adopted a report and sent it to Governor
Pattison. The committee finds the evi
dence wholly fails to disclose any just
ground for suspicion as to the personal
or official integrity of the state treasurer,
Boyer, and that it fails to show any act
of personal or official dishonor on the
part of Auditor General Commantor im
proper receipt by him of any money
either directly or indirectly . from Bard
sley. .- In regard to the present system
of depositing the state funds the com
mittee suggested, the laws should be

Mr. Edison announces the invention
of an improvement in electric railways
that will do away with the cable car and
the trolley. : He says the car will catch
its power directly from the rails and will
pick up tike current through tiro and
one-half inches, of mud, be entirely free
from danger, cost only a third of a cable
car road, and . perform every function
cheaper and better. Besides this, Mr.
Edison announces another important in
vention. He is building a large electric
locomotive for Henry Villard, to be op
erated between Chicago and Milwaukee,
which will also run without a trolley,
and which the inventor confidently be
lieves will supplant steam.
Dr. Willford Hall, the editor of the
Microcosm, claims to know of a" new
electric telephone which for the first
time steers clear' of Prof. Bell's patent.
For years, nearly ever since the Bell
company has been organized, numerous
parties have started telephone com
panies hoping not to encroach on Bell's
rights,- but . invariably the courts have
stopped them, Bell's Invention, as fin

A Rough Passage.
New York, Oct. 13. The story of all
incoming vessels this morning is bnt a
repitition of that of yesterday. Chief
among the Atlantic steamers to put into
port this morning was the Guion line
steamer Alaska. She was over due six
teen hours. HeT trip was a very stormy
one and there was considerable suffering
among the cabin and steerage passengers
from sea sickness. The steamer Poly
nesia and Slavonia also arrived this
morning. Both experienced severe
storms. There are now several liners
overdue but probably they wHl reach
port all right.
Set the Jail on Fire.
Caspeb, Wyo., Oct. 13. Dr. Joseph
Benson, who was confined in jail last
night for drunkenness set fire, to the

said his right name was Joseph P.. Riley,
and that he had killed a man near
Farmbigton, Mass., for which he was
sentenced to the penitentiary for fifteen
years, but escaped. He was well-known
in the west, and for several years was
army surgeon at Fort Kobinson.

Governor Smith at the time of the war
over Texas. Robinson "was the most
prominent man in -. he state, and favored
the independence of Texas. Ho was
captured by Mexicans and terribly
abused, until he promised to use his' in
fluence to have the etate return to
Mexico. This inade him unpopular,
and he went to California to avoid lynch
ing. There he became wealthy and died
in 1863. A son ot the Snyder womau be
came a member of the California legisla
ture, but died i h early manhood. The
Snyder woman, who all along had been
supposed to be Robinson's wife, had in- j
herited all the property, but twenty I
years ago sold all the realty, and a few
years ago returned to Cincinnati. Mrs.
Whiteworth heard of it two years ago,
hunted her up, and learned her father's
history, and began the suit which has
ended so well for her. Miss Snyder is
now 82 years old, but bright as a woman
of 50. She resides at Wyoming, a
suburb, and though rich, still cherishes
such a hatred toward her family for re
fusing to forgive her that she allows her
only brother to reside in the county poor
house. -
TH JC HOLY COAT.
A Large Number of Pilgrims Expected
Very Soon From France. .
Treves, Oct. 12. The holy coat exhi
bition nt Treves has not been closed as
a large number of French pilgrims are
expected in a day or two. : The number
of pilgrims has been increasing, instead
of diminishing, as the close of the exhi
bition approaches. The total number
now is about 2,000,000. About a dozen
miracles are reported through the touch
ing the holy- coat,-but the authorities are
careful about indorsing any one. They
propose to content themselves and to
satisfy the faithful by simply publishing
the certificates of attending physicians
as to the condition of the patient before
and after touching the relic. Apart
from these certificates these ecclesiastics
will have nothing to say. The cathedral
has profited greatly by the donations of
pilgrims, and a new and splendid shrine
has been prepared as a place of deposit
for the holy coat. This shrine has been
made at Stuttgart. The pope's share of
the donations is also very large, although
no public account of the sum bas been
made.

as having some weight and merit, but

GeoJge William Curtis, editor of Har
per Weekly, has announced bis deter
mination to support the republican
ticket in New York this fall. Mr. Curtis
had been a prominent and influential
republican up till the year 1884 when
Blaine was nominated for the presi
dency. He was even a member of the
convention in which Blaine was nomi
nated, but he refused to support Blaine
and became a leader among the faction
known as mugwumps. Mr. Curtis sup
ported Cleveland again the second time
in 1888 as against Harrison and would
probably do so again. He refuses, how
ever, to support the present New York
