Various Rumor.
From various gourees the rumor reaches
ut that it Is the intention of those con
trolling the destinies of the West-side
Railroad, to interject the Oregon & Cali
fornia road at this point. When the
subject of the construction of two rail
roads through the Willamette valley were
first discussed it was thought : probable
that the two lines would consolidate at
this point, and from this city south there
would be but one line of roai. It was
contended that to construct a track around
the bend to Eugeno City, on the West
tide, would be folly, as there would not
be traffic enough to pay the running ex
penses of the road, provided the east side
also had a line of railway to that point.
However true or false this argument may
be, it would seem now. as the cast side
has a railway completed to this city and
some miles beyond, and as the same
company who have so successfully accom
plished this work, also own and - control
the West-side road, the rumor that now
reaches us, that the West-side will form
a junction with the O. & C. Railroad at
this city, looks plausible. If one line of
road can do all the business that will be
offered, then certainly there will be no
necessity of building an additional road
nearly fifty miles in length, at a vast
expense, merely for the name of having
two roads. But it is not our intention at
this time to argue tho question pro or
con ; we intended when we set down to
indite this article, merely to give what
seems to be the prevailing opinions in
this matter of the West-side road at
various points outside of this city, and
let each reader judge for himself as
to the credit to be attached to them.
Another rumor is to this effect : That
a branch road will be constructed from
this city to Corvallis, and possibly, will
be continued on to Yaquina Bay this
latter event to be determined by the
success or failure of certain steps which
are now in progress to secure such a
result.
And still another rumor comes up,
backed by very strong "indications,"
that a bridge will be thrown across the
Willamette river, not only for thi benefit
of the railway trains but for the conveu
i ience of the general traveling public. A
bridge to span the Willamette at this
point has been talked of more or less for
the past three years, but the belief in
the ultimate carrying out of such an
enterprise, was never so strong as at the
present time. , "
The whole matter seems to hinge on
this point : If the cst-side road is to
be consolidated with the O. & C. Rail
road at this point, then the balance of
the programme, as laid down in this
article, will follow as a matter of coarse.
But further speculation at this time is
unnecessary, as Mr. Holladay will soon
arrive in Portland, prepared to push both
enterprises as rapidly as po.sibIe the
coming season, when his plans with re
gard to this part ef the State will be
fully developed. While we hope that
these desirable results will be brought
about, and while we believe that the
present showing is entirely in our favor,
at the same time we warn our citizens
not to be over sanguine in the matter;
to secure these ends there may be much
work yet to be done, and we hope our
citizens in the future, as in the past, will
be ready and willing, at any and all times,
to embrace every opportunity that may
be offered to secure the vast benefits that
would 'arise from the completion of the
objects herein contemplated.
! formation. The object of the bill thus
outlined, it will be seen at once, is a good
one it is to lurmsn reliable ana accur
rate information at headquarters in
Washington, whence it can be promul
gated throughout the country for the
benefit of those most directly interested
Should this bill become a law, and we
see no Teason to doubt it, it having
already passed the House, our farmers
will receive reliable official information
with regard to foreign demands four times
during the year, which will enable them
to act undetstandingly with regard to the
disposition of their crops, vi' ; !
The litigant Bill.
The "litigant bill," passed by tho re
cent radical Democratic Legislature of
Oregon for the benefit - of impecunious
Democratic orsrans. together with its
sponsors, seems to be receiving the
hearty curses of all classes of people, the
moment they feel the benefits it forces
upon them. Theie does not seem to be
an independent, self-supporting Demo
cratic sheet in the State that approves,
much less defends, the law. The
following paragraph under this head is
taken from the Eugene Guard of the
18th instant, the litigant organ of Lane
county:
Organ No. 2 rashes frantically to the support
of the Litigant Act, and supposes that tbe people
for whose benefit the act was passed, will appre
ciate the uniformity of rates to be eharged for
legal advertising. No doubt. "The people"
would probably appreciate a uniformity in the
price of smoked herring, or whot-stones, or car
penter's work. And we believe that a Legislature
has just as much right to fix the price of one as it

Reliable Crop Statistic.
It will be remembered by all who have
noted tbe foreign market reports, how
little dependence could be placed upon
them, and how oftimes our farmers have
been informed that the ' wheat crops of
Europe were fur belw the average, and
that necessarily there must be a large
demand from the United States to supply
the deficit; and how, in consequence farm
ers have held on to their crops, looking
and expecting higher prices, and how
they failed to obtain higher prices, and
lost largely by holding on. This- was
especially the case in 1868. The wheat
Crop" or Europe w n;portc- as"Btrort,"
and farmers were advised to hold on for
higher prices than current rates at har
vest-time, - because tho necessities of
Europe would certainly soon give them
a price for all their wheat that would
fill their pockets to overflowing with
golden eagles. Many farmers held on
and found, when too late, that the report
ed short crops of Europe was a blunder,
to call it by no harsher name ; that, on
the contrary, they were as good if not
superior to the average yield, and there
was no demand for foreign supplies. To
obviate this difficulty of obtaining correct
reports of the condition of cereals or other
crops raised in countries which come in
competition with tho United SUtes, a
bill was introduced sometime since in
the House, requiring Consuls residing in
such countries to forward, at least quar
terly, to the State Department, accurate
statements of the condition of . the , crops
in their respective charges; which are to
be furnished o -ibe Cowmissioner of
Agriculture, who, after carefully scanning
and correcting, if made necessary by any
reliable information in his possession,
they are to be published for general in-
has of tbe other. It is a law of men that due no
tice shall be given before commencing a suit. It
ia law of nature that we have houses before we
can carry on any business. Why does not the
Legislature tell us who shall build our bouses, and
fix the rates of root ? We had not intended to re
cur to this subject again. But when any news
paper claims that it is beneficial to "the people"
we shall endeavor to place it oeiore me people iu
its true light. We totally disclaim this as a
Democratic measure. Properly, it is a Patterson
measure. One of the good results claimed by the
defenders of the bill is that it will prevent legal
notices from being published in obscure religious
journals. There are three religious journals pub
lished in this State ; two of them iu the city of
Port and, each having a large circulation, aud one
in tbe backwoods of Polk county ; if any of them
are "obscure" it must be the lattjr ; yet it has
been proclaimed the litigant organ for that
county.
The truth of the matter seems to be
that instead of proving a benefit to liti
gants it is proving a hardship in most in
stances. As the matter now stands, liti
gants are compelled" to patronize any
sheet the Governor may select, and
pay the rates fixed by law therefor, which,
iu some instances, are higher than the
regular rates asked by other journals in
the county. The old law was much
fairer, as it left this matter of advertising
to the choice of litigants, where it right
fully beloDgs. Now they are compelled
to patronize one cf the Grover organ.",
no matter what its character, oltimes at a
cost of double what it would be were they
privileged to insert in another journal
printed in the county, equally as merito
rious and "responsible as the litigant organ.
The law is superlatively outnyjeous, and
we believe is really not worth, legally,
the paper upon which it is written. The
matter will soon be testod, however, in
the proper courts ; in the meantime let
"litigant organs" who uphold the swindle,
"cramp" on all the law allows them, as j
they will need all they can get hold of to j
outlive the odium brought upon thera by
their enforcement of the "letter ! of the
bond."

Tho Secretary of tbe Treasury announ
ces his fullest confidence in the success
of the new loan. Should the present
favorable prospects continue, it is predict
ed than in less than a month all classes of
United States securities will have reached
an enhanced value. " The N. Y. World's
financial article of the 12th inst. says :
The appointment by the United States
and England of tho High Commission to
settle the Alabama claims and other
questions at issue between tho two na
tions has had the effect . of giving an
improved tone of confidence in financial
circles, and that the abundance of loana
ble funds and the prospect of Jioutwell
receiving subscriptions to the new loan,
and carrying out his programme of fund
ins the Five twenties, have given a
powerful stimulus to investments in
Government and other first-class securi
ties. The impression ia gaining ground
that affairs are improving both here and
in Europe, and capitalists are mote dis
posed to invest.
It is stated that the Government will
withdraw its troops from Arizona Terri
tory. Since its first occupation by whites,
Indian troubles have been constant and
unceasing. As there are but few settlers
in the Territory, and as the greater por
tion of the country is a barren desert, fit
only for savages, aflFording little cr no in
duceaents for white settlement and culti
vation, it is deemed advisable to with
draw the troops sent there at great ex
pense nd no profit. If there aro rich
minerals to be found in her barren
wastes, Ihe hardy and fearless niiiier is
ever ready to take all chances necessary
to obtain them. In nine cases out often,
miners would prefer to "go for" these
"noble red men" on their own hook, as
they place very little reliance ou the
protection afforded by the military scut
out for that purpose.

Salem, Feb. 16, 1871.
Editor. Register : Although I have
signally failed for the past few weeks to
advise your readers of the progress and
prosperity of their sister city, Salem, my
shortcomings have not been in conse
quence of unwillingness but solely for
waut cf time. The great blockade to trade,
viz ; small pox, having been removed,
our merchants are making active prepar
ations for the spring run. .
A series of sociables are teing held in
Reed's Opera house for the upbuilding of
the various churches. This week the
Baptist church afforded an opportunity for
a large and appreciative audience to meet
with them for social enjoyment.
' Wilson's Avenue will soon be check
ered with trees which will assist materi
ally in ornamenting the city.
The different literary schools, of which
I have spoken before, are well represent
ed with both teachers and pupils. There
is no place in the State that affords su
perior advantages to Salem for acquiring
a good, substantial education. Besides
our literary advantages, it might be well '
to speak of the medical school. This in
stitution, though yet in its infancy, is de
cidedly a success. It has passed through
many uncomfortable scenes to be sure,
but with liberal hands and willing hearts
the Professors kept in vie the old axiom,
"if at first you don't succeed," &c, till
the barriers were overcome. In the first
place, when the propriety of establishing a
medical school was sugjested, it was suspi
ciously viewd by those who think all big
men must of necessity eminate from big
cities. They were aware that the pro
posed teachers were graduates of eastern
schools, and consequently were big, but
the success of such an institution of learn
ing in isolated Orecon remained to be
demonstrated. Another and greater dif
ficulty was iu securing the requisite num
ber of competent and skilled physicians
to undertake the task. Efforts were put
forth however, and eventually the doors
were opened lor the reception of stu
dents; but before many winters of its
existence had elapsed, changes in the
Faculty were found necessary; some of
the professors resigned to remove to
other parts, others proved themselves
iucompetent cither in morals or ability,
while death removed one. Others were
called upon however, to fill the vacancies
and at last the work is done. Dr. Chase,
a man of great medical worth, after pass
ing through the late war as one of Uncle
Sam's Surgeons, has recently been added
to the board of teachers. To cut mat
ters short, this institution should receive
a hearty welcome from every one inter
ested iu the furtherance of knowledge.
Every branch of medical science is sys
tematically tauiiht. Dissecting material
is furnished in abundance, giving the
students nn opportunity of leartnna; the
human frame, not only theoretically but
practically. Ihirty lectures arc given
each week, besides t-heiuicaV ittruc
tions on Saturday. Nor is this all ; from
four to five nights or the week are occu
pied in quizzing and cross questioning
students. This school is rapidly growing
in favor. I understand a new house is
soon to be erected for a lecture room. I
shall not attempt to .articuralize, but re
serve a more extended description of their
facilities for imparting medical knowledge
for a future article. Yours &c, L.

Barkis is Wilt.. The New York
Tribune rather encourages tbe idea of
running C Gratz Brown as a Democratic
Presidential candidate for 1872. It
says :
We Icarn with pTeasure that quite a
number of the Democratic leaders have
resolved to push JJ. Gratz Brown, the
new Governor of Missouri, for next
President. We do not sea how they
could bettor the choice. Gratz isn't
much to look at, but he has ideas in his
head, aud is rather honest for a success
ful politician. lie was a good second
rate editor, makes a i'air speech, is a rad
ical free-trader, and can get some negro
as well as some white Republican votes;
whereas, any known Copperhead will
get none of either but those who ean't
help themselves. If the Democrats were
in tbe ascendant, they wouldn't touch
him with a ten foot-pole that we all
understand but they are the under dog
at present, and must resort t6 strategy to
get uppermost.
