Poetland, March 5. The Telegram
last evening Rave a fall account ef the
traffic war on the part of the .17. P. R
R. Co. It eays Gen.-Manager S. H. H
Clark, of that monopoly, will be in Port'
land within ten davg. The reason for
his visit doe's not appear to be known by
the officials of the road. If they do
know, thev will not sav whether or not
he is to start any . new projects or con
tinue the work in different parts of the
Northwest which ' was stopped on his
last visit, about eight months ago. His
arrival-is awaited with great interest
among railroad men of the Northwest.
WILL THERE BE A TRAFFIC WAK :
There is a war-cloud hovering above
the horizon of river steamboat traffic.
The withdrawal oT the Harvest Queen,
"which ran to Astoria'when theTelephone
was laid up for. repairs, and putting on
the speedy T. J. Potter to compete with
- the latter, yesterday, might be called
the first gun. The steamer Telephone
has started again on the run to Astoria,
but not under any arrangement or un
derstanding with the Union Pacific,
such as formerly existed. And Jacob
Kamm says that the I.urline will be put
on the route in two weeks, lhere are
some repairs to be completed before she
commences. When Bhe is put on six
boats will be running to Astoria, only
two of which will be controlled bv the
Union Pacific. The qusstion now is,
whether or not freight and passenger
rates will remain at the present figures.
Some steamboat men think they will,
others are doubtful, and some say that
the tarffic does not warrant so many
- boats, and that one or possibly two, of
them will have to pall off. But they
all express a determination to remain
on the river, eo it ' appears that war is
brewing.
THE UMOX'S PLAX.
The original plan of the Union Pacific
was to run four steamers from Portland
to Astoria. These were the R. R. Thomp
son and Harvest Queen at night, and the
T. J. Potter and the Telephone in the
flay, leaving Portland in the morning.
The scheme will not be carried out, and
the trouble to the monopolists was all
csnsed, it is said, by Mr. Jacob Kamm,
owner of the Ocean Wave (new), the
Lurline and the Undine. The monopo
ly had his Lurline and Uudine leased the
' former on the cacade route in opposition
to the DallS City, and the Undine to
Vancouver. They paid him $1,200 per
month for the two. The lease expired in'
December, and Mr. Kamm refused to
renew it. The probable reason is that
the Lurline was so battered up that it
has cost him $3,000 for repairs. The
U. P. R. ' system" desired to keep these
two boats off the lower Columbia, and it
feared Mr. Kamm would put oneof them
on the route. There is
ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT.
The Astorian was laid up until Janua
ry 17th in the Union Pacific boneyard,
under a $6,000 snbsidy. The owner of
this gteamer, Hon.'H. B. Parker, is now
opposing the UnionPacific in every shape
and manner, connecting in Portland
. with the Dalles, Portland andAttoria
Navigation company, notwithstanding
an offer to renew the $500 per month to
keep the Astorian off.. Thus, for a while,
by paying out $1,700 per month, the mo
nopolists kept three steamers off the As
toria route, the Undine, Lurline and As
torian. In the meantime Mr, Kamm
built the Ocean Wave, a side-wheeler in
every respect equal to the T. J. Potter,
'.. and by the refusals of Kamm and Parker
this entire fine fleet of -flyers may be
turned to good account in breaking the
. back bone of the Columbia river monop
oly, who no longer have the Telephone
as an ally.
WHAT ENDED THE COMBINATION.
It did not work for the 'reason, that
Mr. Kamm would not renew his con
tract. As a natural consequence, they
supposed he would put the Undine on the
lower run. So it was no use to continue
paying $500 per month to the Astorian,
and it was stopped. January 1st, she
was put on the Astoria route by Mr.
Parker. The last spoke in the combina
tion gave way on March 1st, when the
contract between the owners of the tele
phone and the Union Pacific was up
and was not renewed. As a result of I
this and the failure to control the traffic,
the railway company now appears some
what in opposition to the Telephone
company. The Harvest Queen had been
Tunning to Astoria while the. Telephone
was laid up, but immediately upon her
recommencing yesterday morning . the
Union Pacific took off the Harvest Queen
and. put on the T. J. Potter, the fastest
boat they posses in competition with the
Telephone. Whether or not rates will
be maintained now, and especially when
Mr. Kamm puts the Lurlineon the route
is anxiously awaited by steamboat men
Lincoln, March 4. The prohibition
state convention for the election of dele
gates to the national convention, conclud
ed its session this evening. The platform
adopted, renews adherence to thecause of
prohibition; declares the right of citizens
of the United States to "vote shonjd not
be denied or abridged by the United
States or any state on account of sex ; the
government should own and operate the
railroads, teleeraphs and : telephones of
the nation ; the moneys of the country
should be issued by the general govern
ment only, and in sufficient quantity to
meet the demands of business, and give
full opportunity "for the employment of
labor. Oonosition is declared to all
manner of compromise or so-called non
partisan action, to which the question of
the suppression of the liquor traffic is
made a secondary matter. , ' '
The New York Republican.
New Yoest March 4th. It is stated

of this state held an inportant confer
ence last evening, devoted to a disens
eion of the best means of achieving suc
cess at the coming national election.

Chauncey Depew, J. Sloat Fassett, Cor
nelius Bliss, Collector Hendricks, Post
master Van Cott, ex-Senator Piatt and
several other well-knowir-Ieaders were
present. A majority of the conference
believed the re-nomination of President
Harrison probable, although" a number
of expressions favorable to other candi
dates were made, "among them being
Secretary Rusk. If Morton retires Sec
retary Tracy is regarded as one of the
strongest candidates for vice-president.
It is stated that some of Piatt's friends
propose to nomiuate him for president
in order to show their confidence in
him.

Etate convention March 29, will be in

' NOT WEDDED TO CLEVELAND.
New. York, March 4. A morning
paper states every member of the na
tional democratic committee will be sent
a letter by the provisional committee of
the anti-Hill party, declaring in effect,
that the anti-Hill democrats are upt

Prohibition in Iowa.
Des Moines, March 3. The prohibi
tion question came up in the senate
again today in the consideration of the
Gatch bill, providing for county local
option. In presenting the bill, Senator
Gatch goes against the wishes of all his
republican colleagues, except Senator
Brower. "It is thought the bill will pass
with the help of the democrats.
Seed Potatoes for Distribution.
The following communication, just re
ceived from Professor French of the Ore
gon" Agricultural college speaks for itself:
CoevallIS, Or., March 2, 1892.
The Oregon experiment station is pre
pared to send out to the farmers of the
state a limited - number of varieties of
seed potatoes for trial. The potatoes
will be labled and mailed to individuals
in pound packages 'upon receipt of eight
cents postage for each pound ordered.
No more than two pounds will be sent
single individual. ' Persons ordering
will please state whether they" desire
early or late varieties. Address all or
ners to : H. T. French,
'Exp. Station, Corvallis, Oregon.
Chronic Office Holders.
Astorian : If we , hare not an office
holding class in this country, we have a
set of men who are in public office
pretty constantly. They exist in both
parties, and it is understood they must
be provided for whenever the party to
which they : belong comes into power.
So much an accepted fact is this that
other men at last come to step aside for
them, and only advance their own
claims after this class is attended to.
And yet office-holding is not a business
to which we would advise a young man
with a capacity for anything better. .
Most Withdraw the Boycott.
8an Francisco, March 6. All the
shoe factories in San Francisco closed
this evening and will reopen Monday
morning with non-union men because of
the boycott against several firms. The
offer of the Council of Federated Trades
to arbitrate the differences is declined
by the employers until the boycotts -are

- London, March ' 6.; In an interview
last evening Secretary Foster said the
gold-shipments now being made from
New York to Europe will not have any
serious effect upon the home monetary
situation. The gold can be well spared.
He added: "The trouble is, some of
our most sensible men in other respects
seem to have lost their judgement,
through the fear that free coinage will
be inaugurated. As a matter of fact
there is not the slightest chance of carry
ing such a measure. It is not true that
I am trying to arrange an international
monetary conference. I gather' that
public sentiment in England is growing
toward the rehabilitation of silver. Out
side of London the feeling seems univer
sal in favor of such a change. There
would be no difficulty in maintaining a
double standard if the great nations
agreed on that policy, and Germany and
France are only waiting to follow Eng
land's lead in the matter" He declared
that in his opinion the issue of pound
notes in England was perfectly practic
able,' and he regarded the opposition to
the innovation as absurd.
Met His Fate at Last.
Mount VERNON.Ky., March 6. Yester
day Emniett Snodgrass, the town mar
stal, was shot and killed by his brother,
Isaac Saodgrass. It was the result of
Emmet having killed his brother, Squire
Snodgrass two years ago. At that time
Isaac sent word to Emmet he had killed
his favorite brother, and requested him
not to speak to him. :. At Crab Orchard
some time last. year the two first met.
Emmet drew a "pistol and attempted to
shoot Isaac, but bystanders interfered.
Last week Isaac was in town. Emmet
met him and began, as usual, to abuse
him, when Isaac told him to go' away
and not bother him, sayin :g "You killed
One of our brothers ; don't add another
to the list. I don't want to be killed nor
to kill any one." Yesterday they met,
but blood was avoided -by the interfer
ence of citizens. Isaac went home,
armed himself and the two brothers' met,
Isaac killing Emmet: In 1876- Emmet
killed his brother James. Later on he
killed a negro. After this -his brother
Squire built a house on his own land and
allowed Emmet to occupy it and culti
vate the land free of charge. They fre
quently quarreled. One day Emmet
went over where Squire was living, at
his mother's, and when he met him
both began firing. Squire fell at the
second shot. His mother rushed
up and placed Squire's head upon
her lap, . when Emmet remarked :
"Three out of four is pretty good marks
manship, ain't it, mother?" For all
these crimes he was acquitted, strange
as it may seem, and was recently elected
marshal of Mt. Vernon.
Unfortunate Collins.

Collins, president, of the California Ma

Bad Blood.
Impure or vitiated blood is nln
times out of ten caused by some
form of constipation or indiges
tion that clogs up the system,
when the blood naturally be
comes impregnated with the el
fete matu-r. TheoldSarsaparillas
attempt to reach this condition
.by attacking the blood with the
drastic mineral " potash." The potash theory Is
old and obsolete. Joy's Vegetable SaroaparillaU
moden.. It goes to the scat of the trouble. It
arouses the lirer, kiduevsaud bowels to health
ful action, and invigorates the circulation, and
the imiirities are quickly carried off through
the natural channels.
Try it and note its delightful
action. Chas. Lee, at Bcamish's
Third and Market Streets, 3. F.,
writes: " I took it for vitiated
bloo- and while on the first bot
tle became convinced of its-merits,

fied and braced me up generally.
