That the privileges of railroad
corporations should be limited to
the purposes of their incorporation,
as carriers of passengers and freight
—that there should be fixed by law
a reasonable maximum of rates; that
the interests of merchants, millers
and shippers should be guarded
against wrongful discriminations ad­
verse to tliem; that prominent points
of business on railroad lines should
be made stations for shipment and
delivery of produce and merchand­
ise; and the road¿.should be requir­
ed to be fenced at all points exposed
to danger for went of protection by
fences, and that a simple aud direct
mode of bringing actions at law' by
parties injured, would appear to be
of obvious propriety.
The sentiment in this proposed ac­
tion is not one of hostility to rail­
way enterprises, but one of justice,
protection and encouragement to the
varied interests of the people and to
the commerce of the State. It is
the sentiment of equal and exact
justice to all; special privileges to
none. To exercise strict and defi
nite regulation in a difficult prob­
lem. There had better be no action
thau wrong action, but let the sov*
ereignty of the State-be asserted.and
its legislative power be made mani­
fest in this, as in all things subject
to jurisdiction under our Constitu­
tion.
T ra n s p o r t a tio n b y Vo'ater.
Oregon has for its western boun­
dary the great Pacific Ocean, open
ing out to the commerce of the
world. The Columbia, the second
river in importance io North Ameri­
ca, bounds us on the North.
The
Willamette extends its navigable wa
ters far into the interior, and many
beautiful lesser rivers furnish local
facilities for water importation.—
These are nature's highways,the Go]
given arteries of commerce.
The
obstructions to easy and general
navigation upon all our navigable
streams are not difficult of removal.
The natune of the river beds is such
that when once properly improved
the improvements will be lasting,
To indicate in a sentence the im­
portance of the improvements of one
of our rivers, let me say that are now'
being gathered into warehouses into
the Valley of the Willamette, within
easy delivery to the river, five mill
ion bushels of wheat. The improve
meut of this river for barge naviga­
tion in the dry season throughout
• its navigable .course would cost
§125,000.
The reduction of the
rates of transportation five cents per
bushel average on the wheat crop
of this year would leave to the p ro­
ducers of this valley in a single
season a quarter of a million of dob
lars. If there are interests which
should receive limited assistance
from the State this is one of the first
so entitled.
In the established policy of the
ireneral Government it is the duty
o f Congress to improve rivers and
harbors, as. facilities to general com
merce. An energetic memorial to
Congress from the Assembly might
strengthen the hands of our Senators
and Representatives in their efforts
in this behalf.

success

opment and stability O'* this interest
are assured. The remark of one of
our leading agrpdiltnrists, that what­
ever class of husbandry is suited to
the climate and soil of Oregon will
develop the most perfect product iu
the world, I believe to be true.
Another important interest destin­
ed to reach neat results, and n0^
just beginning to be developed, is
shipbuilding- Tie have the best
general supply of ship building tim­
ber anywhere to be found except
with otir neighbors of Washington
Tenitory. T h e spar timber of Ore­
gon and' Washington is shipped to
all quarters of the globe.
G e n e ra l P ro g re s s .
The progress of the State, during
the last four years, has been healthy
and rapid. The increase of its ipte
of development, in material products
has been at least four fold.
The
value of our exports have reached a
sum certainly exceeding ten millions
of dollars.
I estimate the export value of our
w'beat and flour at nearly §4,000,000,
g old ; oats, other grains and fruits,
§1,000,000; wool, hides, meats, cat­
tle and horses, §2,000,000; salmon,
§1.500,000; lumber and coal, $1,000,-
000; gold, silver and iron, $1,500,000.
This exhibit for a population of one
hundred thousand people is almost
without a parallel. We need mere
population. Let us maintain a re­
sponsible, just and prudent State
Government; let ns lighten the pub­
lic burdens, practice industry and
economy; encourage education and
maintain our pretent standards of
morals and religion, and all lands
will send us increase.

Belfounder is a dark bay, 15% hands high,
weighs 1,025 pounds, and for symmetry of
form cannot be excelled. As a trotter, ho is
noted on the turl, having trotted against
George Will-es on Long Island, in 2:28%.
His colts are of the most promising character
for first class Roadsters aud Trotters.

Belfounder was sired by Tattersall’s Bel-

by Abdallah. Bclfounder’s dam is by Engin­

are by Imported Messenger.

Oregon is the only State in the
Union in which bonds of the State,
o f counties, and of cities, have not
been issued as subsidies to railroads,
or in payment of stocks in railroad
corporations.

debts of this class. It is my judg­

The discovery that sugar could be
produced from beets wus made in
1747, and fi rst applied on a laige or
practical scale in the early part of
the present century. Since then the
manufacture has continued to in­
crease, and in 1866 (of which accu­
rate returns have been made up) the
production in Europe of beet sugar
amounted in round uim bersto over
600,000 tons, or in cash value over
iJl50.000.000. At present rhe cash
value of the beet sugar crop may be
set down at over $200,000,000, a
yearly increase or addition- to the
wealth of those countries in which
the manufacture is carried on,which
otherwise (as now in the case of Or­
egon) would have to be expended
in procuring from abroad this nec
essary of life. By the usual per
capita .estimate
of consumption
applied to .Oregon near one milliou
dollars worth of sugar may be as­
sumed' to be #j?ed, which in lieu of
being imported from abroad, might
be raised here.

We, week before last took a short
notice of political matters in Idaho
Territory, at which the comelion ed­
itor of the World look exceptions,
aud iotimated that we were enter­
prising in matters where we had no
business to intrude. We here state
for the the information of persons
and especially the editor of the
World,that we have a large number
of Subscribers in Idaho who expect
us to look after their interests a lit­
tle and we intend to do so even if
we thereby tramp on some other
peoples eoi;ns. We are well acquain­
ted with the people of Ada,Boise and
Owyhee counties, and when w'e speak
of them and politics there wre do so
. nnderstandingly.
The Democrats iu these counties
have nominated good and reliable
men as their candidates for the vari
ous county offices and for members
of the legislature, men who are old
citizens aud whose interests are
identified with the true interests of
their various counties as well as
with the interests of the Territory.
In Ada county the Democrats have
nominated as good men as can be
found in the county, and they are
certain to be elected. The Dem oc­
racy of this county are united ami
are determined that the following
ticket shall be elected by a good
round m ajority For councilmen
we have James H. Slater and H. C.
lliggs both old and substantial eiti-
izeira of the county’ and well infor­
med aud a b le to ca rry out tbe w ish es
and best interests-of their oonsiifc
uents. For Sheriff Jamss D. Agnew
is the choice of Democracy and is a
good man. and has been a resident
of Ada county since its first settle­
ment. He will make a good officer.
A. W. Flournoy for Probate Judge,
Charles Bilderback for Treasurer, J.
M. Thompson for Assessor and Col­
lector, Woodson Jeffreys, Wm Gess,
and A. Rossi for county commision*
ers, and J. H. Whitson for Superin­
tendent of Public Schools, are all
good nominations. Taken altogeth
er we think a better ticket could not
have been nominated,and the people
of A-.livcounty will most certaiuly
ratify the action of the Convention
at the polls on the first of next Nov­
ember.
In Boise eounty the .Democratic
candidates are for councilmen J. M.
Cannadv, James Hawley and J. L.
G. Smith.
For Assembly—J. W. White, John
