A special dispatch announces that
at a general meeting of tho holders of
the Oregon and California railroad
bonds held in Frankfort, a resolution
was passed by an almost unanimous
vote, adopting Mr. V Ward's phn for
reorgiuiixatiou of the company, by
which control of the road parses from
the Frankfort committee to Mr.
Villard aud his associates.
The reorganisation, as appears tVom
the plan submitted ly Mr. Villard
and advertised in London :ml Frank
fort newspapers, la, substantially, on
the following basis: Tho syndicate
believe the timehaa cotaewhen, under
more energetic and efficient manage
inert, the original plan of tho Oregon
and California railroad, aa authorized
by congress, can be carried out, and
the road finished with every prospect
of a prosperous future. According to
the plan of reorganisation propose!,
the principal of the old bonds will be

(valued at lift v per cent, of th?
principal) into common stock, and
power will be reserved to the company
to create a general mortgage on the
entire System to secure six per cent
Bold bonds, issued at the rate of
$20,000 on. each mile of constructed
road. The syndicate biud themselves
to purchase an issue of $G, COO, 000 of
these bonds at the rale obtained by
the committee for their issue oe prior
lien obligations, the proceeds of f I,
000,000 of which are to be employed
in tho completion of the roadx the
proceeds of theother $2,000,000 being
used to extinguish tho existing prior
lien. It is believed that the proceeds
of the bonds s r.d will be sufficient to
complete the road to California In two
years. Ex.

I am an old oid subscriber to your pa
per and take the liberty of a short note.
I notice a statement in your paper in
reference to the Santiam wagon road
as the only route open to travel to
Eastern Oregon. I wish to correct
this mistake. The McKenzie wagon
road from Eugene City via Springfield
is open and in good conditiou to Camp
Polk and Eastern Oregon. A new
Toll bridge has been completed on the
McKenzie River which is th only ex
pense of the entire route. Tolls rr-ason
able, and roads in good condition, anotf
on the mountains las than nsmal mi!
going off rapidly, wagons and stock are
moving from each side on this reals.
Regular conveyance for p.tss-ngors to
the Foley and Belknap springs from

It is a ery important eonuniltss for us
in Oregon, yet it is seldom that a m w
BMtther i pl.ieed jKn it. It would
seem that some representation wunikj
'o had on this Committee from ilmt
Krtion of our country drained by the

truthfully add that the area of this
vast water-shed of country exceeds that
of the whole fifteen States represented

of the last Congress.
Much more would it oftu that the
Pacific States and Territories combined,
and with them Sin Francisco, should
have a representative. How it Will lie
in the next Congress no one can say,

grand future of this iz'- t Northwest.
We talk a!on: n t.nainus aiel u great
commercial center in Oregon, o u the
Sound, but population tnraoghn ;t this
erest Northwest alone can brtos it, and
we will set poenlatkm only when we
get direct latlroad communieati.u with
the east, and with popidaiiun will come
the great cities nnd towns of the fotnre.
It is not much fanle-r from Portland to
Hewport on Yaquiua iy, than from
Xew York and Brooklyn, with their
almost millions of imputation, to Bos
tn, with its half million, or from N-w
York .City to the great city of Balti
more, and is about twice as far as to
Philadelphia, with s population of al
most ffie million, to .-ay nothing of the
many cities iihin the asms radius
shoot New York. a'-h nuniicring
thousands nmre than now inhabit the
city of Portland, and wane slsfOSf as
many as the entire State, of Oregon.
My belief in the great future of ov:r
State has been much strengthened by
my observations throughout the eastern
States this winter. Leaving this val
ley as I did after the worst of its win
ter was over, and then travelling and
being in continuous snow and ice fields
f.: nearly two mont' much of the
time on a latitude six degrees south of
is the half even of which I never ex
peiienced in a rest'1 n e in this valley
of over a quarter of a century, and
then leaving for home in a snow storm,
with trains snow-bound in the States of
Ohio and Illinois, and to arrive at home
to find the trees heavily laden with fo
liage, and good sized fruit uon our
cherry and peach trues all thie is not
calculated to inspire oue with a very
exalted idea of the M'.jwrioiity of 'the
older States.
We have all that they have, and
much that they have not. Population
will come to us ; our growth will be
rapid and as sure as the sun will rise.
The improvement of all our rivers and
harbors is essential to our future devel
opment, and wo must go about it with
determination and in a business-! ike
way. Unite all our forces ; stand in
with one another ; circulate petitions
extensively, etc. All the inforjuation
attainable must be brought before the
committee. InUuence, arguments, facts,
all must be brought to bear, and every
effort made to open up all of our great
harbors and channels tor our future
commerce. Whether success will crown
the effort of the Oregon de'egation is
for the future to say. I have every
reason to believe that we shall work in
entire harmony.
One more thought, in nearly all
oases appropriations are basod on
previous recommendations from the
Engineer Department. Like the case
in hand at Vaquina, that Department
expends tho appropriation and then in
regular order reecom mends a-uh addi
tional appropriations aa experience and
their judgment suggest. The dilliculty
in several other instaneea has been, nnd
in this case may lie, to expend the
appropriation and get the report in
time for next winters legitthitive action.
This will need looking after. Thia
Summer, during tho progress of tho
woik, I shall with my funily visit tho
Bay to examine tho improvements aud
as it is certainly one of thr moat pleas
ant seaside resorts to the State, will
thus combine pleasure with business.
All my time and my best, effort shall
be devoted to the development of tho

Stag New York Times of last Mon
day says editorially that when Brady
was assured that Prineville, Waco
county, Oregon, with a population of
150 people and a steady increase every
day, was exiled 120 miles from any
place of note, ho easily proved the ne
cessities of a daily mail from The Dalles
and proceeded to provide it. So urgont
was the case that he felt justified in
paying $17,000 a year additional to a
contractor, accepting as one of his bonds
men DeWitt Clinten Wheeler, of this
city, then or shortly after a confessed
bankrupt. When jietitions for expedi
tion over tho daily line oajns tiro clerk
reported that the net revenue at Prine
ville was 82G3.
Fuank R. Wilcox, of Portland, had
charge of Dorfiey's mail contract busi
ness in this State, and ex-Senator
Mitchell seems to be mixed up in it to
a considerable extent.

OUR EXPORTS.
It is certainly gratifying; to all true
Americana to know tkat of late years our
exports have largely exceeded our im
ports, not alone In such articles as wheat
and boef, but in almost every branch of
industry. Ten years ago nearly all tfe
perfumery and toilet articles used in this
country were imported from Europe; to
day we not only manufacture for oar
selves, but are largo exporters to South
America, China, Japan, and the Colonies.
The immense growth of this particular in
dustry on the Pacific Coast Is simpry as
tonishing. Slaven, who is now- one of the
largest cologne makers in the world, last
year exported some 2.000,000 bottles of bis
famous Yosomito Cologne. For sale by

say that I was agrroibly disappointed.

was astonish ml to too thn lane full of

could not get a hitching place at Ihe fence
on either fddo nearor than 150 yards to the
