COMFORTING CONSOLATION.
No thine Against Cleveland But Ala!
Nothing For Him Egotism
Conspicuous Feature.
Its
Chicago, Sept. 27. Speaking with re
ference to the long looked for speech of
David B. Hill, senator, it is assumed,
and perhaps rightly, that his utterances
are authentic evidences of the temper of
Tammany toward Cleveland. ForthiB
. . reason, and not because of any profound
respect that is felt for Sehator Hill, his
declarations were awaited with anxious
interest by both democrats and republi
cans. It was expected that in some de
' gree a reading betwden the lines would
disclose whether Tawinauy really de-
sired the election of Mr. Cleveland.
Most sagacious persons who read Sena
tor Hill's speech read it not to discover
what the senator himself thinks about
this, that or the other political issue,
but solely in order to detect any hearti
ness of support or any secret stab of the
democratic national candidates. Those
trustfnl democrats who look to this in
dicator of the wishes of Tammany for an
expression of hearty support of Cleve
land will be disappointed. They may
comfort themselves with the reflection
thrt there is nothing against Cleveland
in Hill's SDeech. And to that comfort
they are undoubtedly made welcome by
j , , I 1.1" iL. 1-
- me gentiemau who ueiivereu uie speucu.
Says Gen. Palmer, right for once.
Its most conspicuous feature is its
egotism. It is a personal explanation
of what Senator Hill himself thinks and
kis relations to public questions. "I
eaid in the campaign of 1888," the
senator declares, "that if I believed the
democratic party favored absolute free
trade I should not advocate its cause,
and I repeat the Etatement here tonight.
I insist that neither the democratic
party nor I have changed our position
on this question, but that we stand
where we have ever stood. Tariff re
form does not mean free trade." The
statement of Senator Hill that if the
democratic party should favor free trade
he would not advocate its cause is gratu
itous. His insistence that neither him
self nor the democratic party has
changed on the tariff question since 18SS
discloses the unfortunate vanity of the
man. Outside of his being the ther
mometer of Tammany enthusiasm, no
body would care whether Senator Hill
had changed his views respecting the
tariff question or not. Senator Hill's
utterances upon the force bill question
are somewhat significant. He says that
issue is of "equal, if not of greater, im
portance than the tariff." The ascend
ency of Ttlt. Hill and his ' faction is
largely due to their nntrammeled con
trol of elections in New York. Federal
interference with New York elections
might weaken or defeat this mastery,
I he federal supervisor and deputy mar
shal have always been terrors to Tarn
many. Taken as a whole, Senatsr Hill's
speech has little to do with the past,
touches the present indifferently and
looks to the future. It appears to be a
stroke in preparation for 1896.
Death of a Noted Pioneer of rortland In
England.
From the Telegram. , ' ' - . - . "
Long, yes, many years, before any one
ever dreamed that the Mount Tabor
locality would become a place of resi
dence for Portlanders, to say nothing of
its growing to be a fashionable suburb
of this city, a Hudson Bay company
clerk named Tom Hudson took up a
tract of land along what is known as the
Base Line road.
Hudson was of a taciturn nature, r'e
! ceiving a splendid salary, but never ex
pending a dollar not absolutely requisite
for his simple wants. He was exceeding
ly eccentric, and none of his old asso
ciates wondered at his seemingly insane
action. Tom was then, it was alleged,
about 28 years old. He built himself a
log hut, in which he lived, with the
companionship of several dogs and a very
large collection of books that he brought,
and some that were subsequently sent
to him from his home in Lancashire,
England.
In after years, as the time passed by,
straggling people settled within a mile
or two of the land he pre-empted, but
he entered into no intercourse with
them. To all intents and purposes he
was a hermit. When not engaged in
laboring in his garden or ' perusing his
books, he passed his time in manufac
turing all kinds of aerial propelling
machines. Some who knew him, but
are not willing to make the statement
under oath, say that they saw him fondle
his English golden sovereigns, earned
in the service of the Hudson Bay Com
pany, with that degree of earnestness
depicted by the hero in the beautiful
opera "The chimes of Normandy" Gas
pard, the miser. This may be true or
not, but this part of the story is given
for what it is worth."
It is something like ten or a dozen
years ago thet Hudson left his prcr
em p ted land, not further advanced in
improvement than when he primarily
located upon it. He bade no one adieu,
nor did he tell any person whither' he
was going, or how long he would be
absent. The only sign of human feeling
he exhibited was to transfer the care of
hia dogs to !i neighbor till his return.
But that : "day Thever dawned. He re
visited his native heath in Lancashire,
after an absence of almost an ordinary
lifetime. He, of course found very few
of the friends of hia youth alive, or
their old homes, and those having had a
similar experience can imagine
heartsickness that overcame him.
Well, to cut short what might be
woven into a romance in actual life
Hudson died in London about three
months ago, bequeathing his Mount
Tabor property, worth perhaps $1,000,
000 now, and other goods and chattels
valued at $230,000, to three Lancashire
cousins. The latter property the in
heritors will have no trouble in obtain
ing, but there may be some trouble in
getting hold of the Oregon property, as
it is alleged that the base-line land has
been sold for delinquent taxes. This,
however, is merely a conjecture. A big
law firm of San Francisco has the matter
in charge, a member of which will be
here in a few days to establish the status
of the Mount Tabor property. In any
event, should the matter go into court,
it will be of a more sensational nature
than has invited the attention of Ore
gon's judiciary for years. -

Chicago, Sept. 27. The lazy Jazaron
ian and unkempt plebiau and pauper of
Europe, who has heretofore kept us in
bread will have to take a back seat in
the future. Housewives .have become
so disgusted with the system in vogue
that today five bright, new wagons will
go scurrying about town. Each wagon
loaded to the roof with housewife bread.
The drivers are iueek and quiet., little
boys and they will have nothing to do',
except to say: "Geetup,". "Whoa," and
"Bwack." It is a rule of the- Woman's
Baking company that no man , shall
touch the bread from the time it be
comes dough to when it is handed over
to the customer. So a tidy woman will
sit in each wagon and wrap up the flaky
loaves and tell the quiet little boy in the
front seat which way to drive. It is the
first day of active business for the .Wo
man's Baking company. ......
Things were lively around West Madi
son street yesterday. A dozen ' women
were at work in the bakery and the res
taurant was well patronized. . The .only
man tolerated was a colored citizen who
lifted the barrels of flour and did other
heavy work. This bakery is to be. the.
hrst of many founded by .the company,
which is a stock concern, the . shares
being $25 each. The 2,000 shares offered
Borne time ago have been taken up by
the women all over the country, and
there are no masculine stockholders.

AX INVASION OF ICE.
Huge Glaciers From Scandinavia land

- The' Panama Canal.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Nic
aragua canal is going right ahead, the
French have decide to renew work on
the Panama canal. When operations
were suspended on the isthmus two
or three years ago the company was bank
rupt, and its machinery was left to be
wrecked and ruined by disuse and ex
posure, while the excavation began to
fill up rapidly.
The situation is most unpromising,
but the stockholders have invested too
much money in the canal to give it up,
and the concessions granted by the Col
umbian government are of such im
mense value that an effort will be made
to retain them. The latest intellisence
-is that a new company will be formed
with a capital of $30,000,000 to resume
-woric. it is estimated that this sum
will be sufficient to open forty-five of
tne nity Kilometers ot tne canal, and
with' such progress it is believed that
the remainder of the money needed will
be speedily forthcoming. . - .
Skilled engineers have time and again
reported that the difficulties in the way
of this enterprise are tremendous. Hun
dreds of millions of dollars have already
been swallowed up in the ditch, and it
-will take hundreds of millions more to
make it . a success. Its completion is
possible, but the enormous cost should
cause the stockholders to reconsider.
Recently leprosy has spread on the
isthmus, and that region is a lazaretto.
Yellow fever prevails there nearly all
the year round, and the horrors of chol
era will doubtless be added this fall and
winter. The canal, if it is ever finished,
ill be a rentable ditch of death. .
Recent investigation of the geological
history of Engiand has brought out into
verv clear light some of the Wonderful
scenes of the glacial epoch. Geologists
long thought that there were indications
in the north of England of two success
ive invasions of the ice, between which
the land had been depressed some 1,500
or 2,000 feet, so that the sea flowed deep
above it. But later research has led G.
F. Wright and other geologists to the
conclusion that there was no such de
pression of land in England, and that
the marine shells found high on the
hills were carried there by the ice as it
advanced across the country in the
great ice age.
From Scandanavia huge glaciers, ad
vancing straight across the shallow
North sea, had reached England at
Flamborough head. Down from the
highland of Scotland another resistless
column of glaciers was advancing to join
the first, burying hills and valleys under
the ice. Other glaciers pushed out on
all sides from the mountains of northern
Wales. From southwestern. Scotland
and across the Irish sea came a still
mightier stream of ice. That rich and
beautiful country, which so delights the
eyes of the traveler today, and upon
whose bosom rest so many prosperous
towns and cities, lay buried under a vast
frozen sheet.
In the meantime all forms of life that
loved the sun had retreated before the
on-coming ice, - while Arctic species
came to take their places, and so it hap
pened that the Irish sea was filled with
the shells of different species of animals
mingled together. As the ice advanced
it pushed many of these shells before it
over, the land and left them when it
melted away as a token to future ages of
the wonderful work it had done.

Twenty-four Hundred Feet Down an
Incline of Fifty-five Degree. '
From the Juliuctte Advance.
The people of Juliaette point with
proper spirit to the tramway which has
been recently completed, and which is
now in excellent running order.
It is difficult to enumerate the many
benefits that will accrue by. the opera
tion of this tramway. The 'farmers to
the east are elated at the prospect of
having their grain placed in warehouses
and ready for shipment in from one
quarter to one-tenth the time it took to
place the same or a less quantity last
year. Mr. W. A. McFarlane hauled in
two days last week to the warehouse on
the summit more than he marketed in
30 days last year at the foot of the hill.
A benefit indeed ! The farmer is will
ing and can well afford to pay 75 cents
per ton, which he does, to land his grain
under cover at the foot of a hill 2,400
feet from summit to base, with a slope
of 55 degrees a hill down and
along the face of which the old
wagon road, with its score of curves and
loops, strings out a distance of four
miles ere it leads into Juliaetta. Freight
and provisions are carried to the top at
the same rate as for cereal on the down
trip. A telephone line is nearly ready
for operation connecting the farmer on
the hill with the merchant below, so
that it will be necessary to wait but an
hour on the lofty perch before receiving
the goods by order, thereby saving half
a day's trip. Free transportation to all
who patronize the tramway is given,
which is a favor highly appreciated.
The wire rope upon which the car with
its load of five tons pins its faith, has
been tested and warranted to swing its
full length with an additional weight of
40 tons, which fact should banish from
the mind any thought of danger from
breakage. The upper warehouse is a
well-built structure of 40x1000 feet, while
the lower one is 60x200 feet with a
switch-off from the tramway into the
second story. Mr. Joseph Morris, the
warehouse manager and weigher at the
top of the slope, is kept constantly busy
and believes the enterprise will increase
the grain shipment, from this point by
about 350,000 bushels.
, Mr. J. D. Hallett, the originator and
builder of the line, and who is here in
person to superintend the working, is
to be commended on the success of his
venture. Before next year's harvest is
ready for the market, . Mr. Hallett in
tends to extend the line into the country
eastward, so that loss of time by hauling
grain long distances will be bat nominal.
