OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
The legislative fiasco at Salem ended
last Saturday, and it ia a good thing
that it did. Very little commendable
legislation recalled. True, some good
law were made, but, indeed, many
poor ones were enacted.
Tax peoplo along the Columbia will
Watch with more or leas interest the
movements ol the cannery consolida
tion. It ia a proposition shrouded in
tnystery, and is looked npon at present
as a scheme which brooks aril. The

in the ribs of the combination.

It will ba remembered that by the bill
authorising the construction of the Pacific
railroads, passed in 186t, the United State
agreed to lend it credit to the various Pa-
dtlo railroad eompanlea for the purpose of
aiding ttiera in construction of a railway
from the Missouri river to tbe Pacific ocean.
For that purpose bonds were Issued in the
aid of the Union Pacific railroad to the
amount of ti7 ,236,511; to what was subse
quently known aa the Eanaas Pacific to the
amount of 16,630,000, 10 the Central Pacific
te the amount of $25,885,120, and to the
Western Pacific te the amount of 11,970,580,
Upon these conditions, without dlreot re
imbursement, the United States paid Inter
est from the date of their respective issues,
so that In 1897 there waa due to the United
States from the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany the sum of 158,488,223; from the Kan
sa Pacific In round uumbera, the sum of
IIS.000,000. On the first of February, 1890,
there was dueliom the Central Pacitic Rail
road Company the sum of J53.330.062, ud
there waa due from the Western Paelfio oa

The agreement lust made with the Cen
tral Paeiflo Railroad Company assusee be
yond the slightest doubt the full payment
of the debt of the Central Paeiflo and the
Western Pacific railroads, aggregating Sw -
812,71548.
This debt, by the agreement, ia funded
for payment within the period at 10 years;
one-twentieth thereof being payable each
six mon ths during that period, and the gov

Aa Interesting Letter from tha Lit

Vmsomia, Or., Feb. 17. (Editor Oacaen
Vir,yAs yon asked fur opinions In your
last Issue of Ths Mis in regard to the Ne
halera road, we will air some et ours as w
see them.
Tb figuratlr situation of a good road
from the Nehalent valley to the Columbia
river. Men favor good roads and reason
men favor bad roads and do not reason.
We hear from a very few, complaints in
regard to the tax It will Involve upon them
to build the proposed road from the Neha
lent to the Columbia. Some one says it is
just a scheme to gull the people. If there
is any way to gull the people any worse
than they are galling themselves by not
having a good road, God help as I we will
give up the sponge.
But let na figure and see where the tax
comes in. Take the butter and sugar sup
ply at the present a tags. Good butter here
ia worth 25 cents per roll, (and four rolls
glut the market); Columbia river market
60 to 65 cants per roll. Soger, 12 pounds
per dollar, valley market Celanibia 18 to
20 pounds. One roll butter, valley market,
buys 8 pounds of eugar; one roll batter,
river market, buys 9 to 10 pounds; loea to
producer and consumer, H value or 68fi
per cent tax oa every dollar of exchange
products.
Take the coal oil and potato condition at
present. Two bushels potatoes buy 5 gallons
oil, river market; valley market, if we could
sell the potatoes at all, 7 bushels to buy 6
gallons oil ; a loss ef 5-7 to the producer or
71 X cents on every dollar.
