V. ; . , . .-. ., , ..
To the people of Crook 'cWhty,
an J jn fact of all of She central1
part of Eastern Oregon-, anything
-of an encouraging tnrt'arc Regarding
the construction of the fjregon Pa-
cific is rer&i'vied 'good news. The
O. P. tfd. has labored under roost
unft'vorabfe disadvantages, having
-u iad rather a limited credit in the
money markets, but now it appears
Vo be on a firm financial footing,
and there is little doubt that the
toad will be completed sometime,
- 'probably at no" distant date. The
following from last Saturday's Or
egonian is encouraging to the peo
ple on this side of the mountains,
especially since it has been gener
ally thought that Portland and its
- great paper were opposed to the
Toad, and threw obstacles in its
' way :
"The statement made by some
one, who was either too careless to
become informed or who intention
ally falsified, that work bad been
stopped on the Oregon Pacific rail
road, which statement was quickly
denounced as untrue and without
any foundation whateveryhas again
called jo inconsiderable attention
to this road. From its yery location
alone it cannot je otherwise than a
great factor in the development of
Oregon, and, more especially of
tiiat portion lying east of the Cas
cade range. It will bisect the state,
and for a great portion of the dis
tance across this commonwealth it
will be without a competitor for the
business which already awaits its
completion, and for that vastly
greater volume which will accrue
when sections isolated are by means
of transportation facilities, opened
up to settlement. Not much has
been said of the renewed activity
in the building of the extension
across the mountains and through
Eastern Oregon ; but the preiimi
nary surveys have been completed,
a contract of some magnitude has
beep awarded upon which work is
now being pushed with all possi
' ble energy, and representatives of
two or three other contracting firms
are no at the front figuring upon
many more 'miles of cuts, fi Is,
etc., which still remain - to be
built. All this is evidence sufli
cient that the $5,000,000 raised last
spring by the company upon its
bonds in New York, have been
made available for immediate con
struction. The future of the Or
egon Pacific is no longer a matter
of conjecture. Its success is as
eared beyond peradventure. For
several years its management has
struggled against failures and dis
appointments, never losing faith in
the greatness of the enterprise that
it was fostering, and now comes the
keen satisfaction of being able to
show to the jjiost pessimistic doubt
er the great possibilities which are
plainly before it.
..
''If there were no other aim in its
construction thun to develop Cen
tral Oregon, the road would be a fi
nancial success, as well as a public
benefit.. But we do not lose sight
of the fact that the bonds of this
road, upon which the $5,000,000
. for further construction were raised
were guaranteed by men well known
in the financial world, men whose
names are prominently connected
with the Chicago & Northwestern,
a road that has aspirations to be a
transcontinental line, and whose
connection with the Oregon Pacific
at Boise city will accomplish the
desired end.
The improvement of Yaquina
' Bay, for which cougress has been
so ardently and so successfully im
portuned in the past, will also ac
crue to the benefit equally of the
people of the state and of the stock
holders of these two railroads. The
management of the Oregon pacific
lias worked continually for this im
provement, and pending its comple
tion has not pushed the construc
tion of the exteusion of the road so
rapidly as otherwise it would have
done. Tq make the operation of
this line a complete success requires
a harbor at the western terminus of
the road, where deep sea ships can
come and go without delay of any
kind. By the. time this is accom
plished the railroad will be built,
and Oregon will have another ship
ping point for her rapidly increas
ing products." -
The date of the completion of the
road is of course not definitely set
tled, and it cannot be expected that
the road will be finished within
any remarkably short space of
time, for there are many obstacles
to overcome before the ndau reach
es the bunchgrass section. A great
amount 'of, heavy work mast 'be
aohe in the Cascades, "and the sea
son is tiow too far gone for this
work 'to be done tbit fall. Owing
to the expense of freighting supplies
and plant for working into the Cas
cades, it is not likely work will be
pushed very far ahead of the front.
Nor is it probable that the road will
be built across the desert east of
thecDeschutes daring the summer
months, since it can be done with
so much more convenience during
the winter, so if the O. P. is com
pleted to the Deschutes within one
year, and to Boise City by the
spring of 1891 it will meet the ex
pectations of the most hopeful.
Oregon has been especially favor
ed this season by visiting members
of congress from the Eastern states.
A party consisting of Goff of West
Virginia, Stewart of Vermont,' Bur
rows of Michigan, Hayden of Mass
achusetts, and Dorsey of Nebraska,
has just, completed a tour of the
Northwest, and these gentlemen
were favorably impressed with re
sources of the country.' The visit
of these "big guns" will have a
good effect in obtaining appropria
tions for river and harbor improve
ments in the future. Heretofore
they have been opposed to expend
ing money in improving rivers and
harbors, but after being shown over
Oregon by Representative Hermann
and seeing what was needed to de
velop the country, they will be'
more liberal in thus views.
As an illustration of what a fool
a man will make of himself on ac
count of a woman the following is
added to the already very long
list:
Mr. Bierce, son of a San Francis
co journalist, was to have married
a Miss Adkins, of Chico, on a cer
tain day, all arrangements being
made, but a day or two before the
wedding should have taken place.
the young lady eloped with Bierce's
best man, a Mr. Hubbp, "and mar
ried him instead. Their happiness
was brief, however, for after a two
day's visit amongst the groom's
friends they returned to Chico,
where Bicrcc was laying for them,
and a desperate shooting scrape oc
curred. Bierce shot his false friend,
fatally, and shot the false girl
in the head, making a dangerous
wound, and then shot himself. He
lived one hour after shooting him
self, . though he had been badly
wounded by Hubbs in the begin
ning of the fight.
"Sunset" Cox, the great New
York politician and statesman, is
visiting this coast. Last week he
visited the Washington constitu
tional convention at Olympia, and
was tendered a grand reception by
that body. Mr. Cox has always
been a warm friend to the territo
ries of the West, and it was due to
his efforts more than any other one
member of congress that the en
abling acts, allowing the D.akotas,
Montana and Washington to coiiie
into the Union as states were passed
at the last session. With his warm
feelings for the people of the We t,
and by personal observations made
during this visit of the needs of the
country, he will be better able to
legislate in our interest in the fu
ture. The Washington constitutional
convention is framing a most vol
uminous series of organic laws for
the new state in fact, so far, it is
an article about twice the length of
the constitution of the United
States. When the constitution
makers get through there will be
little for the legislature to do for
the next forty years, for there will
be enough law to run an ordinary
state thationg. An official of the
territory sarcastically suggests that
the document they are framing
should be named "the constitution
and by-laws of the state of Wash
ington." - '
If Tanner is not allowed "to bury
himself, he will have to take a back
seat permanently. How is this :
"Robert Marvel, aged 85, baa
gone without food and drink for
forty days. Hundreds of curious j
people have visited hi hnnao nnrt 1
the medical fraternity have thor
oughly awakened to the marvelous
nature of the case. The doctors
say that this marvelous fast is more
wonderful than Dr. Tanner's. Mar- ;
vel is growing quite weak, and on
account of his age the probability
is that he can not survive much
longer."
The above crank is. a native of
"Injianny." Therefore, Marvel uot,
my brethren. . . v
The latest disturbance that has
arisen in the Washington constitu
tional convention iaV wrangle over
the preamble, in which a large
number of the delegates want to ex
press gratitude to Almighty God
for the blessings of liberty, self-gov
ernment, etc., while others want to
keep the name of God out of their
constitution entirely. One hundred
yesrs ago, had a body of meo re
fused to acknowledge the fmnremn.
cy of Divine Providence, and shown i
reverence for such blessings, tbey
. .. i
would have1 been scoffed at as unfit
to frame organic laws,' or even to '
hold positions of honor in civilized
communities, and would probably
have been imprisoned or banished !
for heresy. But that day basgone,.
thanks to the more liberal channels
of thought in" which men's minds
run during this age of advancement.
it is not a question of gratitude or
ingratitude, reverence or irreverence
that actuates men to not thank the
All-wise for blessings enjoyed ; but
merely a practical view that men
are accountable to themselves, and
their happiness devolves upon their
own actions either right or wrong
and not exclusively on God.
Even the'attention of President
Harrison is at last called to the ex
travagance of Corporal Tanner in
the management of the pension bu
reau. , Secretary Noble asked the
president to remove Tanner on ac
count of his extravagance, but by
reason of Tanner's Grand Army
connections, the president said he
could not remove him,' but would
give him ajecture. This was done,
and it is to be hoped that Tanner
will be checked in his mad attempt
to make all the ex-soldiers solid for
the republicans, before the treasury
is bankrupt.
i Hon. Sol Hirsch, American min
ister to Turkey, recently arrived in
New York, having just returned
from Constantinople, where he was
presented to the sultan, from whom
he received many demonstrations
of honor. Mr. Hirsch says the
Turks have a very kind feeling for
America, and grant American mis
sionaries more privileges than those
from any other country. Mr. Hirsch
is on his way to Portland to ar
range his business afi irs before
leaving for Turkey to take up his
residence there, and assume the du
ties of his office.
On August 24th and 25th the ed
itorial fraternity are advertised to
meet in convention at Newport, on
Yaquina bay. It is important that
meetings of this, kind should be
heM, as the newspap( r men consti
tute a brotherhood whose interests
are common, and all editors and
publishers of newspapers ought to
atiend if it is possible for them to
do so. .A newspaper trust is" what
we need in Oregon, that is if there
is anything in trusts, and there
must be. All newspaper men of
the state are invited to be present,
and no doubt a grand time will be
had, and it is hoped that much
good may be done. .
Dr. J. A. Brooks, late prohibition
candidate for vice-president, says
the recent defeat of prohibition in
Pennsylvania and Rhode Island
will help the cause of prohibition,
"for men who were wavering will see
that the old parties are enemies of
their homes and families." The
Dr. certainly allows his enthusiasm
to get the upper hand of his judg
ment. . .... "... - , J
The conventions that are now la
boring to form constitutions for the
various new states are having a
kind of "monkey and parrot" time
with the woman suffragists and pro
hibitionists. The ad vocates of each
of these theories are most persistent,
and they keep the delegates be
tween two fi res as it were.
It is -not mprobable that, if the
Ohio legislature is republican this
fall, Murat Halstead will be the
choice for United States senator.
Should Halstead get into the sen
ate, what an evening-up he will
have with the members who voted
against confirming his appointment
as minister to Germany.
Princess Louise of Wales was re
cently married to the Earl of Fife,
and the British government was
called upon to put up $150,000
for her trousseau. . The earl is a
rich man "and will probably hot
have to call upon the government
to buy any more clothes for his

Tbe Memoirs of Sheridan.
Of the three great commanders
of the civil war, Grant, Sheridan
and Sherman, the career of Sheri
dan was by far the most romatic.
We all know with what interest
the whole country read the Person
al Memoirs of Grant and the Per
sonal Memoirs of Sherman and we
believe that the Personal Memoirs
of "Little Phil," will attract equal
attention and command as large a
sale. His- Memoirs have the val
ue of an important historical pro
duction and the interest of a great
work of notion, the book is not
statistical but full of personal in
cidents and the wonderful story
which it tells holds the reader
spell-bound. It is a clear, con
cise, graphic, and yet simple ac
count of a wonderful life. It is
penned not only because he desired
to tell the storyNf.hi8 life in his
own way, but witfr the hope that
bis family might receive a compe
tency for its sale. Coming as this
book does from one of America's
greatest and best loved soldiers, we
are sore that it will find a place la
every home in the country.
