rKOflJT WITHOUT PAY.
The bill of Representative Maloney
to repeal tha law requiring the publi
' cation of county court proceeding,
now before the bouse, will not meet
with the approval of the people, and
hows clearly that its author doe not
particularly believe iii public economy
ai Implied by this bill. If the official
act of the county court were not
published, their constituents would be
ia total darkness as to their actions,
leaving it possible for cliques, rings
and bridge contractors to organise
.themselves for the purpose of defraud
ing the counties. While the proceed
ings are published at some coat to the
county, yet by so doing the people are
placed in a position to watch the acta
of their public servants and censure
them for any neglect and extravagance
in conducting the county's business.
They bave a right to know these
things, and it is right that they should.
Neither can a newspaper afford to
publish the proceedings for not bin c;
any more than it can sheriff sales or
delinquent tax lists, or the state printer
can afford to publish the proceedings
of the legislature. Wind will fill the
sails o! a ship all right, but it requires
something more than wind to run a
newspaper successfully. The rate for
publishing county court proceedings,
as fixed by the last legislature, is low,
extremely low, for that class of work,
Mr. Maloney is evidently of that class
of men who do not want their constit
uents to know what their official act
are when serving (?) the public
Where is the man who is not more
careful when doing business for the
public if be knows bis actions are to
be published to the world? We do
not wonder that Mr. Maloney wants
the strings taken off in his public ca
parity,
TBS GOBLS ROAD.
An Astoria dispatch of January 13
Indicates that everything is in readi
ness to begin work on the Astoria-Go-
ble railroad. A report has been made
publio by a trustee of the Goble rail
road subsidy, signed by Walter G.
Smith, chairman, and addressed to
the subscribers to the subsidy, as fol
lows: Your trustees beg to report that the 15th
day of December, 1892, they executed t
contract in the city of New York with
Messrs. R. B. Hammond and P. P. Dickin
son for the immediate construction of the
so-called Goble railroad. The gentlemen
With whom we have contracted are in very
good standing in railroad circles, and men
of honor and integrity. Before executing
the contract with them we examined care
fully into their financial responsibility, and
believe it ample for the building of this
line. We also secured from prominent
bankers of New York letters expressing
absolute confidence in the abili ty of Messrs.
Hammond and Dickinson to execute any
railroad contract which they might elect to
enter. By the terms of the contract, work
will begin near the Eagle cannery, in upper
Astoria, and also at a point in or near
"Klavel," on or before the 1st of next
April; these lines to connect at or near the
John Day river, and thence proceeding up
the Columbia river to a point of intersec
tion with the Northern Pacific railroad, at
or near Goble. It is agreed that work upon
the line shall be vigorously prosecuted, and
the road most be completed before the 1st
of October, 189.
The subsidy required is 2 000 acres of
land, fairly selected in and around Astoria,
and the west side of Young's bay. Our
contract stipulates that these 2,000 acres
shall be deeded to) our trustees prior to the
1st of February, 1893. There must be,
therefore, no loss of time. The subsidy is
' held in escrow by your trustees, and no
part of it is to be turned over until the line
is completed to a connection with a stand
ard gauge lailroad running into the city of
Portland. We herewith furnish a copy of
the letters obtained in New York, endors
ing the gentleman with whom we have con
tracted. The trustees are satisfied with
the contract they have made, and believe
that It will be faithfully executed by Messrs.
Hammond and Dickinson, provided that
the subsidy is immediately raised and
deeded to the trustees as required in said
contract. If the contracting parties shall
fall to begin actual construction by April
next, the trustees will, upon demand, re
turn the deeds to the grantors.
DID THE SALMON DO IT?
' (
" C. W. Drips and Mrs. Albin, of Wymore,
Neb., were found dead in a room, but the
cause of their death is not known, unless
the salmon did it On the table where they
had been taking a lunch was found part of
a can of salmon, says the Nebraska State
Journal. The question now arises, was it
Columbia river salmon , or was it rotten
Tillamook dogfish with Columbia river la
bels on T Astoria Budget.
It is very probable the salmon were
of the dogfish variety. These fish are
no doubt canned to a large extent in
Fortland, or they would not be shipped
, there. To can such fish and place
them upon any market is a gross out
rage that in some manner should be
speedily remedied. If there is no law
to restrain the Cannery men from put
ting up such rotten goods, perhaps the
fishermen may not be so much to
blame for sending such fish to the can
neries. Of course these rotten goods
do not find a market on the coast.
Tbey are sent to the states east of the
mountains, where canned salmon are
looked upon as a luxury. If this
practice of unscrupulous cannery men
Is permitted to continue unabated, the
honest cannery men will sooner or
later find no market for first-class
Roods. There should be a strict law
rigidly enforced against cauuing or
even offering for sale in any form the
damnable dogfish salmon.
An act passed by the Oregon legis
lature some years ago, says the Ore
gonisn, has wrought great changes iu
the minds of many who formerly up
held the mortgage UX. Thin act made
it lawful to lend money on mortgage,
with the stipulation that the borrower
shall pay the taxes. All mortgages
now are drawn that way. Formerly
the borrower supposed that as the
lender had to pay the taxes, the mortgage-tax
law was a good thing, for
many did not see that the lender made
the rale of interest higher on that ac
count. But now, it is found that
money may be had at 6 to 8 per cent
if the borrower agrees to pay the taxes,
aud, in fact, that money can seldom
be had unless the borrower does agree
to pay the taxes. So the borrower, at
least, seeing clearly that the mortgage
tax is simply a tax on himself, asks
for its repeal. .
Eepkksektativb Msbrill, of Co
lumbia county, has been placed on
two committees in the house. One of
great importance is the committee on
publio lands, of which he is chairman.
This committee will have some very
important work to do at this session.
The publio land laws of the state are
badly iu need of attention by the leg
islative body, and we know of no one
more familiar with the condition of
publio lands than Mr. Merrill. He
has also been placed on the committee
on enrolled bills. Senator Maxwell,
for Columbia, Tillamook and Wash
ington, is also on the publio lands
committee in the senate, so that we
have representation on this important
committee in both houses.
OREGON'S LAWMAKERS.
Scenes of Activity In the State Lcg-
lalattve Hall.
8 Aim, Jan . 12. The first bill upon the
much-mooted question of making salaried
positions out of the several offices now sup
ported by fees, comes from Senator Cross
of Oregon City, and is known as senate file
No. GO. The draft is one made by Judge
W. W. 'Thayer. The offices concerned are
those of clerk of the supreme court, county
clerks, county recorders, clerks of county
and circuit courts and sheriffs. The clerk
of thesnpreme court Is to receive $2000 an
nually and no fees; the county clerks $1200;
recorders, $1400; clerks of circuit courts.
11500; sheriffs from 11200 up to $3500, ac
cording to the county's population. Fees
can only be received for making copies of
papers on file at the rate of 10 cents a folio.
Matlock introduced the world's fair ap
propriation bill in the senate, aad Wright
of Marion, is the house. A joint resolu
tion has also been concurred in for a spec
ial joint committee, and Raley and Wood
ard have already been appointed by Presi
dent Fultoa. The bill appropriates $00,000,
which is to be expended by a commission
appointed by the governor from Tarioas
pubi:c bodies . This commission is to make
a complete report to the next legislature
The members are to receive no compensa
tion except to be reimbursed for transpor
tation expenses.
IN THE HOCSB.
The Rev. Bowersox, of Salem, opened
the fourth legislative day of the house with
p raver, after which the speaker announced
the following special joint committees on
the part of the house :
To visit the orphan's home Myers, Bus-
sell and Miller.
To examine public works Durham, El
more and Nichols.
To visit the state university, state nor
mal school and agricultural college Lam
son, Brown of Donglas and King.
RAILWAY COMMIBSIOSB.
Sauk, Jan. 13. Governor Pennoyer is
opposed to the continuation of the railway
commission, on the ground that they have
not accomplished what the people expected
of them and probably never will. From
the last report of the commission he has
prepared the following table showing the
freight rates on the Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific roads in this state and in the
states of Illinois and Iowa on the same
kind of merchandise:

The governor further says that the com
missioners claim to have secured liberal
concessions from the railway companies,
but from the foregoing comparative state
ment of charges it is seen that there still
is plenty of room for reducing the tariff.
The producers of Oregon, he says, are the
best judges of equitable freight rates.
Senator Huston's senate bill No. 46, is a
good measure, and reads af follows:
Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any
person over the age of ten years, with or
without malice, purposely to point or aim
