FRIDAY, HNUARY. Uil.
VNtTKIt ACTION.
A ttmo is comluR, ami that very
toon in the history of ItiuVpcudoihW
when, upon tho untUnl action of her
citisciia tlopetul in a great measure
her future prosperity. It will Iw a
decision not on what we can do,
but what we must do, M'e have,
through his paper, urged upou the
people the importance of a railroad
to Falls City. We have nhown
that the building of a railroad at
Uie Falls and tho establishment
there of manufacturing industrica
is of no disadvantage to this city;
therefore, our business men cau
with the Jutmost confidence en
courage Buch an enterprise. Our
property owners reuliie that with
the ail vent of a railroad prices will
materially advance, therefore, they
are ready to make definite promises
based on the future. Among our
formers it is recognized that con
venient markets and rapid transit
mukes Uveir property more valu
able aud home life ou the farm
more desirable; consequently, they,
too, are willing to assist such
movement. There are, however,
men iu every coiumuuity who will
not subscribe to any public nicas
are, which is in itself bad enough;
but what is worse thotw same kind
of men are the very ones to bo
most active in raising objections,
and imagining evils, aud in luct
being like the dog in the manger
not able to eat the huy themselves
nor willing to allow anything else
to eat it It is to such incu that
we now appeal. Let us have your
unqualified support! If you can
not help matters along from a
financial standpoint then use your
tongue in (Minting out to others
the mauy advantages so that they
may lend additional assistance and
make up your lack. If we, as a
community, can pull together, each
doing their part, be it great or
small, such united action will ac
complish wonders.
l)o you believe a railroad to Falls
City will be of any benefit to the
people of Falls City or of Mon
mouth or of Independence? If you
do theu it becomes your duty to
say so at every fitting opportunity
if you are desirous of seeing it built.
The seed sown iu a community
through the conversation of the
people is more beneficial than when
sown in any other manner. The
time, we believe, is not far distant
when a solution of this question
will be of the very greatest impor
tance, and even now it should be
amply discussed. The main ques
tion for each individual to ask is
this: Provided that a railroad is
built what will be my gain! If a
business man what i urn-. we in
trade, and if a property owner
what advance in values! Having
answered these questions, then let
each individual determine on the
amount of assistance which they
could give and if needed would
give. If you have one hundred
acres of land which is now worth
$10,000 and the railroad would in
crease it to 130,000, you surely
could give 13000; and if a town lot
now worth $500 which will increase
to $1500, you can surely promise
$150. The merchant who cnu in
crease his trade from $10,001) a
year to $30,000 can assist to the
extent of at least $300, aud even
the laboring man who can only get
work half the time at say $100 a
year, could afford to give $50 to
assist him in obtaining a yearly in
come of $800. The fact is that every
individual in a community is inter
ested in having a railroad and
should be willing to show his ap
preciation in some substantial man
ner. A Salera correspondent to the
daily Oregonian of Jan. 7th com
piles an ominous list of figures on
the clerical expenses incurred by the
last session of the legislature. The
communication is headed "Com
mittee Clerkesses," and is largely
an argument against the employ
ment of so many lady clerks. The
writer goes on to say:
"A member of the last legislature
has taken from the records and
handed to me the subjoined items.
For that session $15,000 was paid
for salaries of committee clerks.
Of this the engrossment committee
had $1000; the enrollment com
inittee $000. The cost of engross
ing was 65 cents per folio. The
judiciary committee had 43 bills
referred to it, and f 100 clerk
charges; that of elections, 4 bills
and $185 for clerk; claims, 9 bills,
$142 clerk; assessment 2, $105 clerk;
counties 10, $200 clerk; ways and
means 4, $200 clerk; education 0,
$220 clerk; commerce 14, $200
clerk; agricultural 0, $185 clerk;
roads and highways 0, 1105 clerk;
military affairs 3, $340 clerks; rail
roads fi, $325 clerks; mining 1, $200
clerks; publie lands 2 bills, $785
clerks; fishing industry 0, $200
clerk; federal relations 1 bill, $150
clerk; printing, no bill, $200 clerk.
The only committees reported with
out clerks were those on publie
buildings and corporations, the
first of which had 3 bills and the.
last 21. The clerical work of the
committee on corporations was per
formed by a member of the com
mittee. Not all these committees
'lady clerks,' but nearly all
, and .in my Knitt wrmtd'hure"
none if they had not had such.
to of the clerks, it is said, had

had

nothing whatever to do, and did
nothing, until at the close of the
session, they presented their claims
tor lorty itays service.'
If any citizen of any of our towns
In Oregon should borrow $1000 for
one year ou real estate security he
would pay at 7 ler cent, for the use
of that money $70. But suppose he
cannot get money at less than ten
per wnt. (and he cannot get any
great quantity at that rate in Ore
gon) he thus pays iu interest on
one thousand dollars $100, or a dif
ference of $30. That thirty dollars
represent the cost to every borrow
er of the mortgage tax law in Ore
gon, for iu Washington money cau
he had for 7 m- cent, while iu Ore
gon it is ten per cent, ou gilt edge
se mritv. When a man borrows
money at eight per cent, and agrees
to pay the taxes he, in very many
eases, twvs twelve ier cent, for his
money, aud yet the mortgage tax
law helps the Iwrrower they
and ''cinches" the money lender.
You cannot make money loan itself
for less than it is worth any more
than you can legislate aud succeed
iu getting labor for less than it is
worth. In both cast s you simply
do without, w hat you should pay
for.
The Salem Jimrmtl says that the
recent New Year's issue of the Or
goman was as much a Washington
edition as one of Oregon, aud says
this iu a spirit of censure, aud yet
the Journal knows and the Ore
gimuiH makes no secret of the fact,
that it is paid so much per page or
line for its advertising of not only
Washington but Oregon. Why
does not the Journal seek for a
cause for the fact that Washington
systematically advertise in Oregon,
but Oregon never ndvertises iu
Washington! The Journal would
lie only too glad to glad to get some
of that iiatronage itself. The fact
that the thtyoniiiH takes advertise
uient from astnngton or any
other state is not a proper subject
of censure. Better thut some gooil
reason be giveu why Washington
can afford to advertise outside of
the state while Oregon cannot,
Land in Oregon is cheap. Why!
Because lutercst on money is high.
The man who borrows at eight per
cent, (the lowest rate in Oregou)
and agrees to pay the taxes really
pays about eleveu per cent for his
money. If he can afford to pay
eleven per cent, for money and his
laud is now worth thirty dollars an
acre, if he could borrow money at
7 per cent his laud would be worth
about forty seven dollars an acre
for the interest on thirty dollars at
eleven per cent, amounts to $3.30
a year, at seven per cent, forty
seven dollars, it is about the tame,
Xow where is the gain to the farm
er in paying a high rate interest
John I. Irish is authority lor
the statement that wages in the
United States are 77 percent, higher
than in England. Using "statistics
for results we find that when a la
boring mau receives 35 J cents per
day in Russia, he is paid for the
same work f5cts per day in Italy,
72 cents per day in Germany, K0
cents per day in France, 91 cents
per day in England and 1.G0J cents
per day in the United States. Is
it any wonder that labor seeks to
make its home in America!

Km ixm Vwt Sum: As the Christ
mas vacation has rolled around, 1 find
tliuo to write you letter descriptive of
the unlventlty. For the last three
week the eauipus of the college ami
the country swund has been eovcM
with snow, sleighing Is excellent, aud
cent ml New York Is having sit old
fashioned Jolly winter.
The university Is located on the
eastern hillside of the Cayuga Ijike
valley Iu Tompkins county, New York,
and some four hundred feet alsve the
head of the lake. This lake stretches
away more than twenty mtu to the
south, In full view of the university,
From both sides of the laku ravine
run Istck, through which ionslderalilc
streams fall from four to six hundred
feet III the course of a mile.
The university L-rumulit consist of
two hundred and seventy acre of land
tsiunded north and south by I'all
Cnt-k liavluoaud tWatlllla Gorge
sHetlvely. The eastern sir(loii, of
alsuit two hundred acres, Is devoted to
the use of the agricultural drpiirlmrnl.
This feature Is a imslcl of lt kind.
All kinds of fanning is carried ou ami
they make the farm pay Us way. A
great ilcul of exH-rlmeutal farming Is
done here and they are having very
gixHl sum-ns In their forcing houses,
ljulte a ImTk-c nuiulH-r of lilisMled aub
louls htv kept. The deportment Is also
supplied w Ith model buildings of their
kind.
Two main avenues, Central and Kat
avenue, well shaded by elms, run
parallel to each oilier the entire length
of the eastern portion of the eauipus, a
distance of half a mile. Outhi-m- ami
ihe Intersecting avenues an' groiis-i'
the university buildings ami more than
thirty residences of professor. The
grounds re laid out with great care,
an- decorated with ornamental tain
ami shrulis, and are made to Illustrate
the courses of Instruction In botany,
horticulture, and agriculture.
Over thirteen hundred students are
registered In the college and there are
atsmt fifty full professors anil mure
than us muuy asshtunt Instructors.
rciilled the sl.o of the "student Isidy"
the other day w hen I mn across nil
other man from I'ortlaud who was
here three inoliths ts-fon we met, not
withstanding that I made a syste
matic hunt for Oreipmiuns.
The college has a tiumls-r Inre ami
huiidsume building and more are to Is?
built won. An agricultural hall is to
Isj put up next year. The large library
hall now building Is to Ite nady
by next fall, it Is the gift of a wealthy
Ithaeun and will have nmi for two
hundred students to work their at once
without hclnif the Isast crowd, ami the
library contains one hundred and llfty
thousand volumes.
The university hits three flue musn
ums where one never iris-s without
somethliiK new catching lilseye, They
have suitable building In which to dis
play only one collection as yet, but as I
said Is-forc the college is building
steadily. Inlen-stliig anil Instructive
lectures am given almiwt every night
In the week on some topic, A large
iiumls-r of the lecturers an noted men
from all over the country and the
lectures are given admission free.
splendid opportunity to hear gmsl ser
mons and noted prenchcrs Is given
every Sunday, when some well-known
minister occupies the college cbiis-l.
Cornell was one of the llrst of the
large college to throw Its disirs osui
to higher education for women, and
now women an- admitted to any cour1
on exactly the siunc finding as men.
At Sage college Is a dormlntory for
admit one hundred ladles with a lady
principal. It Ih always full of young
lady students niul many more have
room In private families.
There Is an entire alwcuce of the
dormitory system for the men. The
fraternities, or Greek letter secret so
cieties, Is'liig a favorite method among
the student In which to have con
genial lodging.
During the fall anil spring terms out
door athlclli-s are run In curliest,
Foot hall, base ball, rowing and tennts
all have many enthusiastic supporters,
In the winter term the gymnasium Is
always crowded with men exercising
and training for the Indoor class eon
testa in athletics.
In closing tills summary, I can only
say that at Cornell one cau gi t any kind
of Intellectual training he desires. The
only course that I urn aware is omitted,
