The Coming Extension Mortgage
From the Oregoniaa :
The Corvallii & Eastern Railroad Com
pany, incorporated a few days ago at Al
bany, was organized for tbe purpose of
financing the project of extending the
aquina bay line through Eastern Ore
gon. Tbe objects of the incorporation
are to buy the 142 miles ef completed
track of the Oregon Central & Eastern
(tbe old Oregon Pacific), on which stock
and bonds will be issued to rake money
for the extensiou east of the mountains.
There ia not a t.ent of indebtedness now
against the Oregon Central & Eastern,
so it is in good condition to get money
for any extension enterprise.
Within the coming few weeks tbe
mortgage covering the present line eaet
from Yaquina, given to secure tbe bonds
to be issued, will be filed for record in
Lincoln, Benton and Linn counties,
where the railroad ia located. While no
official announcement has been made of
the amount of bonds that will be issued,
it is intimated that the mortgage will be
for about $15,000 per mile, or a total of
$2,130,000. Tbe new corporation is au
thorized to issue stock to the amount of
$2,S00,000. These figures are compara
tively modest for so important a project,
especially when it is remembered that
t,he books show an expenditure of more
- than $16,000,000 on tbe portion of the
road already built, but it is easy rail
road building through tbe part of East
ern Oregon selected for tbe new lire.and
the track will be stretched out rapidlv
over the plain at a mere fraction of the
cost per mile of tbe portion crossing the
two mountain ranges.
Tbe papers are being drawn in New
York, and tbe preliminary arrangements
may be somewhat changed before tbe
documents are signed. There are indi-j
cations, however, tnat railroad construe-:
tibn will begin on tbe eastward exten
sion as soon as the weather wilt permit
in tbe spring. As to whether construc
tion shall proceed from both ends or on
both main main line and branches. Mr
Hammond who is the prime mover n
tbe enterprise, is not prepared to say
now. "There's many a slip 'twiit tbe
cup and tbe lip,'- said be, "and it ia of
no use to declare cur intehtions ' before
all arrangements ate fully perfected. Of
coarse, our general purpose is set forth
in tbe incorporation articles, and we ex
pect to carry out that purpose. But
many of tbe details remain to be per
fected, and modifications are always
possible in tbe formative stsje of a busi
ness enterprise like this."

Some Alaska Advice.
Kuthyn Turner, of Corvallis, writes
from Skagway, that he ia about to start
on trip over the Chilcoot pass and that
he intended to go to the mines on tbe
ice. He gives the following advice :
"You say that Corvallis will send a
number of men to Alaska in tbe spring.
Well, I don't know wbo they are; but if
they are my friends I am sorry for them.
Most men fail to consider that when they
start for tbe mines they are chasing a
chance, and they make no allowance for
the hardships they are to undergo when
on tbe journey to the heart of Alaska.
Many of them must 'suffer the agonies of
the damned.' But let them coae; ex
perience is the best of teachers. I hope
them every success, knowing fu'l well
that many will regret the move. Remem
ber that there are many lies in the paper
regarding Alaska."
A Printer Robbed." This heading
appeared over a short article in a Wood
land, Cal., newspaper last week and
caused considerable surprise, as tbe
average prioter seldom has any money
says an exchange. However, a perusal
of tbe articles proved that this man was
not an exception, as the only articles
found on his person by tbe robbers were
a packrge of cigarettes and a corkscrew.

CAPT. SMITH ON THE VILLAM
ETTE.
In Sunday's Portland Tribune, is tbe
first of an interestsng account of the his
tory of navigation on the Willamette, bv
Capt. F. J. Smith, the pioneer steamboat
man. It is well told and will be reid
wun general interest. It begins with
comparison of steamboating now with
seven boats on toe river, and four lines
of competing railroads, with that of the
nines wnen mere were no railtoads and
tne steamboats had a monopoly. In 1856
IE cost zu cents a bushel to rtarrv i
from Albanv to Portland Anil til A Inflra
got half of tne mcnev. Wher fift-
pie would be an excursion party now, in
early days two hundred regular passen
gers was not uncommon. The changes in
the channel were noted in detail and a
description of the river ia given from Eu
gene, the head of navigation down
Where Long Tom was once navigable
now a skiff could hardly get up it. The
following about the Linn county line will
be of particular interest:
After leaving Cotvallis (once bearing
the name of Marysville.) the city ot Al
bany is reached, which ia now one of our
beet commercial towns in the state, not
only outgiowing its old name Iakenah,
derived from the Indians who had their
neaaquarters at that point, near the
mouth of the Calipooia, but it has now
two lines of railroad running through its
streets and branch line to interior
points of the county.
After leaving Albany the river has not
undergone very much change in the last
ou years, until tue mouth of the Santiam
is leached. This once navigable stream
has also at time been an important feed
er to tbe Willamette. In earlv days
boats have ascended as far as Jefferson,
where full loads of grain and flour from
the mills have been brought to Portland.
At one time it was considered one oi the
regular routes, and later an account of a
steamer going as far as Lebanon landing
will be related. Many steamboat men oi
today will not believe it possible, as the
stream near that city at tbe present time
would bardlv im Dress one with tha
thought that ever a steamboat could be 1
made to ascend that far. But the captain )
buu part oi me crew ot tne memorable
boat are still in service.and can subs tan
tiate the story. Since that day two rail-
roaas nave their bridges across the chan
nel, and tbe passing trainsof another can
be seen from4he river, making it an im
possibility to ever have river service
again.

JAVA ROBBED.
Two Ilaisey Young Men Arrested
for Robbing Three Japs.
Halsey has a case that is exciting a
great deal of interest in that city and vic
inity. Last Friday nijht about 8 o'clock
three Japs were visited at their room in
tbe section househy two young men with
handkerchiefs over parts of their face.
One of them flourishing a revolver de
manded tbe money of tbe Japs, wbo were
known to have been paid off recently.
Tbe Japs handed out about $25 and the
young men departed with the money
that was to cause them a good deal of
trouble. The Japs positively identified
one of tbe men as Clarence Morgan, son
of F. M. Morgan. During tbe evening
young Morgan and Walter Smith, a son
',of W. C. Smitb, bad been seen together,
uatiog started out on a bunting expedi
tion. Both young men were arretted
yesterday and in tbe afternoon inneared
before the Halsey Justice, J. R. Wyatt,
of this city appearing for them and Judge
Whitney for the prosecution. Tbe de
fendants waived examination, and were
held under $250 bonds to await the action
oi the grand jury. Some ooe who knows
young bmitb says he haa always been a
fine young n.an and does not believe be
could be implicated io such an act.

ilABaisBrao, Or., Dec 21. Mr. IT. R.
Lewis, Secretary Klondike Relief Com
mittee, Portland, Or Dear fcir: Yours
of roeect date, asking for donations of
supplies, money, etc, waa duly received.
We are not prepared to do much, and
are disposed to do less We look upos
socb schemes as advertising dodges, of
interest only to the place concerned. As
to starvation at Klondike, we nave no
knowledge. That there will be and
ought to be suffering we know. Those
wbo went there last summer had ample
warning, and knew tbe conditions fully
before going in. 1 do not think we
should waste any sympathy on people
who went to Klondike witti less than a
year's supply of everything. As to re
lief, I think worse things than starva
tion could befall a d n fool: For ia
staoce.he might survive and come back;
and, if we 'relieve bim this winter, his
tribe would increase to a hundred thous
and next winter, and clamor for more
relief.
We will take care of our own poor (if
on account of our "board ot immigra
tion" tbey do not swamp ua with num
bers and needs), but we decline to cou
tribute either sympathy or substance to
Kloodikers, boutti bea islanders, Hot
tentots or what not We are not heart
less, merely sensible.
In conclusion, when you wsnt contri
butions for tbe widows and orphans of
tbe improvident ones, who crowned a
useless lite by starving to dealu, wa are
with you. lours truly.
