liiBt Monday night for the purpose ol
hearing the report of the committee ap
pointed to Inquire Into the different
pronations which have been aubmlt
ted for ojieiilng the Columbia river
above The Dalle. The committee
made two reports, a majority and a mi
nority report The1 majority reixirt,
which was adopted, recommends thai
the proposition of the Columbia IUver
and Navlgutlou company (Molor's com
pany) be accepted. The proposition In
brief is that the company agrees- to
build a portago road around the rapid
above The Dalles on the Woshlngton
side, and put on a line of steamer
above and below The Dulles, provided
the cltens of Portland will take three
hundred thousand dollars of the Co.'
bond. The minority report favored
the formation of a stock company by
the citizens of the country tributary to
the Columbia river and building tin
rood on the Oregon side. The minori
ty report claimed that if Mollr's plau If
adopted his company would sell out at
soon as the Union Pacific company
made them a profitable ofl'cr. The mi
nority report, on the other hand, as
serted that sufficient money could not
be rulsed by the cltissens, the amount of
each Individuals utock being limited to
a small number of shares. It was also
asserted thut the small holders would
sell their stock to the railroad companj
and nothing woult) tie gained.' Tin
majority report was adopted.

Thk Whit Hoihk. The Presi
dent' house In Washington City Is
built of sundstone, and is painted whit.
This latter circumstance I pretty
generally given a the origin of Its
nam of White House. Hut there may
be other reason. Among the many
possessions of the Widow Custla, who
became famous in history a Martha
Washington, the wife of our first presi
dent, there was au estate on York river
Virginia, known a the White House,
from tbe fact that the mansloii on It
wits white. It is not altogether unlike
ly that the executive mansion was
named after this estate. The White
Hons estate on York river became tbe
proHirly of General Itotairt 10. Is'
wife who wo a great gniiid-thiughtcr of
Martha Warshlugtou by ber first hus
band, and was among the first of the
great Virginia houses to fall Into tho
hands of tbe Federals after the begin
ning of the war between the state. Of
course 'President Washington never
occupied the White House In Washing
ton City. Ho was Inaugurated In New
York City lu 17NI), aud Philadelphia
was the National capital during the
grater part of hi two term. Thomas
Jatrersnii was the first president lining

Da M, A, Oct li-Tha Rtato Fruit
Growers' Association convened in Dhl
la last evening. Th exercise took
place In th city hall. Tbe building I
covered with a handsome display of
flower and fruits, which called forth
high expression of praise from be
holder. A large audience greeted the
fruit men on tlie opening of their de
liberation. Mayor M. M. Ellis called
tbe association to order, and made
neat speech of welcome to Delia lu
particular and Polk county In general.
In eulogistic term he referred to the
advantage of our county for fruit cul
ture, end hoped that the discussion
would stimulate Interest In the business,
extending to visitor the freedom of
tbe city. Dr. Oardwell, of Portlaud.oo
behalf of the society, accepted the wel
come, and spoke very flatteringly of
Dallas' beauty and of the wonderful
productiveness end adaptability to fruit
raising of the surrounding region. He
prophesied that tbe fruit Industry
would urs'rsetle in Importance the
growing of wheat and corn and oat.
Professor T. F. CampUII, of Mon
mouth, delivered an entertaining and
Instructive address ou the subject of
"Agriculture." Mr. Jennie Coad't
olo, "The Lauding of the Pilgrims,"
waa rendered in splendid volt, and re
ceived hearty applause. Mr. Quick, of
Polk county, gave eonie of bis experi
ence In raising prune, appk, pears,
aud peaches, In tbe valley, (Jtneral
Varoey, state horticulturist and (JoL
Allen, made pleasing remark.
The lweer Starter.
J. H. Stine, tbe editor of tbe new
paper In Yamhill county, the Wblteson
Advance, is a peculiar character In
Oregon Journalism. He ha brought
more newepaper Into the world than
any other man In tlie state. . Tbe ex
act number It would be bard to re
member, but there must have been a
doaen of them at k-ast, nearly all In
new town in Oregon. Nearly if not
quite every paper started by him ha
beeu prosperous slue tbe start, and are
now making a good living for their
owner. Among lueee maybe nieu
tlouod the Grant' Pass Courier and
tlie Independence Was? Bids, both of
which are good paying propcrtlc. Mr.
Stine' plan ha beeu In tbe past to
publish a typographically neat and
newsy naiier In some town not before
blessed by Journalistio enterprise, and
having secured a good subscription list
and advertising patronage, seek a pur
chaser and sell out "when the bloom
waa on the rye." He Invariably got a
good price, and It seemed to him that
he was doing bettor in this way than
he could If be bad settled down In one
plat. But It Is easy to see tbe mistake
now. Tbe paper to which he gave
an auspicious start lu life are now. do
ing better than ever. It is merely an-
other Illustration of tbe well-known
fact Uiat a man who wishes to succeed
In life must thoroughly identify him
self with one partlcularcommunlty and

- The HubSr Stamp. :
Whenever a wholesale house receive
letter from a merchant written on
scrap of paper without anything to
indicate w hat sort of business he Is en
gaged in, or the sheet I ornamented
Itb one of those hideous daub called
rubber stamps, bis name 1 Immediate

notice to the traveling salesman that
the said merchant Is a fit subject on
which to palm oh all the old, worni-
eateu, shelf-worn shoddy goods that
you possibly can. The poor merchant
then wonders why Ida customers uever
come back tho second time to buy
goods. Eugeue Guard, , .

J. W. Whalley, who was appointed
iferce to take tosilinouy in the matter
of the contention of tbe bondholders of
the Oregon Pacific Railroad, and who
left for New York August 2tith to at
tend to this bualuess, has returned, says
the Orcgonian. Some of the bond
holder claimed tlmt there were $1,000,
000 worth of tbe bonds illegally Issued,
but when It came to testifying before
the referee, It wa claimed tbat . tlie
Issue of the bonds had been Illegal.
Mr. Whalley would not allow this
claim to be considered . or dealt , with
