A dispatch from Corvallis to the Port land Oregonian, undoubtedly upon sanc tion of the management, gives the pres ent 0. C. & E. situation, certainly an encouraging one. According tu it the company has already spent $75,000 in betterments, this week an order was placed for 750,000 feet of lumber besides ties enough to run all the mills along the road for sometime. The engines and rolling stock aie being repaired. The total improvements Manager Stone has already planned will amount to $150,000, ten months work ahead. Mr. Stone wrote to Mr. Hammond yesterday, strongly favoring the commencement of work immediately upon the extension of the line, from the present end of the track at Kock Creek to Independence Prairie. The distance is 12 miles, and 8 miles of the grading has already been completed, but no bridges have been built. The work is n it necessarily vwy heavy and could easily be done this fall it operations were begun soon. Mr. Stone has been informed, and believes, that the residents of Crook county will build a wagon road across the mountains via the Minto trail to the end of the track. Hon. John Daly, who gave the matter considerable attention a year ago says the route is a feasible one, and es timates the coast ot such a wagon road at not to exceed souuu. witu it com pleted, the hauling distance from it to Prineville would be reduced 60 miles as between that route and the one to The Dalles, over which their freight is now received. In connection with this plan, the manager favors the establishment of a mail route and stage line. This would afford the people of that . section better mail facilities, besides a saving in time of 24 hours. The point is made in his letter to Mr. Hammond that the work should be com pleted as soon as possible in order to re ceive the shipments of wool that must come out next spring. The wool clip that is tributary to this line is estimated at 3,000,000 pounds. The building of the line to Eugene is considered of first importance. Mr. Stone also mentioned the propriety of a branch line from Halsted to Salem, a distance of about 20 miles. The project, however, be aoes not consider demands such immediate attention. Jonxsox Hebjc Sheriff McFeron ar rived in Albany this noon from Los Angeles with A. R. Johrson indicted for obtaiuins money under false representa tions. They rode from San Francisco to Portland on the steamer Truckee. arriv ing in Portland lact night at 11 o'clock. Mr. Johnson is in tne county jau tem porarily. Mr. Johnson s version of the affair is that he had been in the habit of drawinc drafts on the estate in which he con tinues to have an interest, and supposed these would be honored; but there seems to have teen a family trouble, and the letters from Mrs. Johnson indicate that he knew the situation. Mr. Johnson when arrested was cutting meat for the Los Angeles Packing Co. at $4.50 a day with a promise of a raife. He is an ex pert at the business. His bonds were placed at $400 and will be sent to Port- snd by the next mail, where his bonds- mer have already been secured, and the whole matter will be settled. Johnson has a good many friends in Portland, but seems to have lived a little ahead of bis means. He will return to Lee An geles and resume his job. Sheiiff Mc Feron bad a pleasant experience at Los Angeles, but reports a rough trip from San FrancUco, the steamer reach in e Portland forty hours laic. A Bright Yocso Max. J. B.

As a draughts man, air. gainer nas lew equals, and with his long experience and originality in this line of work he will form a valu able acquisition to the leading scientific journal of America. Mr. Walker is the originator and patentee of a boltleea rail joint that has received consderable fa vorable comment by engineering jour nals. When once put in, this joint re quires no care or maintenance. It has attracted much attention among railroad men ot trie east, where it is quite exten sively need., Corvallis Gazette.

A Fbakcter. Wm. M. Hose has been in Oregon several davs on business of a private nature, says the Corvallis Ga- sette. Last week he took a trip over the O.

Mr. Hoag, since leaving Oregon some thing over two years ago, ha been at tending strictly to business affairs in San Francisco. He is regarded as one of the ablest and shrewdest financiers of Cal ifornia, where by his enerrv and careful management he has accumulated a for tune. Though well advanced in years, Mr. Hoag is as active and indefatigable worker, and appears as vigorous and sprightly as he did in 18&4, when he as sumed the management of the Oregon racinc. Brvas Comisg. The Statesman says the state fair committee is in receipt of letter from the silver-tongued silver advocate of Nebraska, Congressman Bryan, relative to bis intended visit and address at the Oregon (Itate fair. Among otner suggestions to mm was trie possi bility of a debate with Koewell G. Horr, to which Mr. Brvan reo'ies with that confidence for which the brilliant Ne- braskan is noted : "I am prrfectly will ing to debate the silver question with Mr. Horr or anybody else." Mr, Bryan looks forward to bis visit with pleasure and the committee has arranged for him to be here on Friday and Saturday, Sep tember 27th and 28th. His presence will be greatly enjoyed by the thousands of Oregon people who will wish to hear mm. Assessing Railroads. The following; from the balem f ost, on railroad assess' ments, is a timely one for Linn county assessors to consider : Hon. J. M. Chiles, county judge of Josephlne county, writes to County Jfudge W. C.' Hubbard, nnder date pf August J9, in reference to the as sessment ol railroad property, tie says that competent authorities say that the expense of building roads is about $62,. 0OQ per mile, that UaUlorma assesses railroads at $12,000 per mile, or $8,000 more than Oreeon : that this state should arrive at some conclusion in reference to what the assessment here should be. County Judge Hubbard thinks that $5, 000 would be a low assessment per mile for railroads in this state. Heretofore tbey have been nsfeeepd fit that' and lees, andif California can assess roads at $12, 000 Oregon ough t to get more than $5,000, Special Offer.

This rivet navi gation is uncertain business nowadays. Here is a sample from the Tost : The river steamer Gray Eagle has not been able as yet to reach Salem, on her down trip to i'ortland. On going np the river to Independence, Sunday, she stuck on the bar above Eola.and after a great deal of trouble succeeded in getting off only to get fastened again on another bar, and there she is tight and fast. The latest report we can get from this steamer is that the crew are working hard to get her off so that regular trips can be re sumed between Salem and Portland by boat. It is doubtful if she will try to reach Independence again this season until the river rises, which will not be till the fall rains have come. Orr for the Bat.

Times. Ox the New Womax Prof. Shorev.of Portland, occupied the pulpit of the Con gregational church last Sunday night. His subject was the "New Woman,"and while euksrixing woman as the equal of man intellectually and socially, be de precated the practice of women wearing bloomers while ruling bicvles or on an v ot ber occasion. He claimed the women houkl have an equal chance with men in all tbe proles.ion and ail the avenues of employment, but it was not necesmry lor viieni io uni tnemseivc to nil these place. Whenever a woman doe any thing to uosex herself, she destroys the high regard and esteem held for her by the male sex. lie said tbe practice of wearing bloomers wa a custom imported from foreiim countries, and a relict of barbarism. Several of the adie. who attended the service, and who are advocates of the advancement of the "New Woman," aseert that wearing bloomers does not detract from woman's modesty or charms, and that it is ab solute! t dangerous for a woman to wear tbe ordinary style of dress when riding a bicycle. Besides, in Oriential countries. where the virtue of woman is more jeal ously guarded, than in this country, and where wo.oen are I veld in tbe highest es teem, bloomers are the prevailing custom.
