NEW RAILWAY ENTERPRISE,
On the 20th inst., "Tlie Oregon
Railway Company, Limited," was in
corporated in Portland. Wm. Reed,
D. Macleay and E. G. Hughes are the
incorporators. Capital stock, $2,000,
000, divided into shares of $100 each,
with power to increase it desired.
The business of said corporation is
to construct, equip, operate and mau
age a railroad and telegraph line
from Portland to and across the Cas
cade mountains to Goose Lake, in
this State. This is to be a narrow
gauge and it is the purpose ot the
eompan-y to construct a line 100
miles in length, beginning on the
"Willamette river, in Marion county,
opposite Rodger's landing, across
French prairie, and through Silver
ton, Sublimity, Scio, Lebanon and
Brownsville, to Springfield in Lane
county, and finally down to Portland
on- the west side of the Willamette
river by way of Oswego. This com
pany has also purchased the entire
stock of the Dayton, Sheridan &
Grand Ronde railway company, and
designs to extend this line to. Dallas
and into King's valley, in time to
move the crop this fall, and no doubt
ultimately the intention is to cross
the Coast Range and make New
port the terminus. We cannot have
two many railroads, bnt just now
this move is designed to check mate
the Yaqwina road, and either prevent
its being finally built or to draw
from it a large portion of its legi
timate traffic, and thus to indirectly
aim a hard blow at Corvallis.
We do not desire to raise an alarm,
yet we do firmly believe that this
move is made by Portland capitalists,
not only in self-protection, but also
to induce capital away from onr road
to Yaquina Bay, and the conse
quent development of our city and
the countryj along the line of this
road. For it must be apparent to
the most careless observer, that when
the Yaquina road is built, as it surely
will be, and Yaquina harbor im
proved, which is also a foregone con
clusion, that Portland's shipping in
terests will be materially aftected and
its commercial position and business
greatly reduced.
Of course we must not be so blind
to our interests as to suppose for a
moment that Portland does not see
this, in the near future, should the
Yaquina road be at once built and
Newport harbor made accessible for
the largest sailing craft, and they are
seeking by this new enterprise to avert
the results above indicated. Can our
people see it in any other light ? Is
there any other reasonable explana
tion of this rather sudden activity
among Portland capitalists in this
new undertaking ? It is only a few
days since this company sent an
eramissary here to purchase the iron
already bought for the Yaquina road
and now in Portland. We believe
their agent did not meet with a veiy
warm reception by the board of di
rectors of the Yaquina road. In short
we believe they refused to sell. Now,
then, gentlemen Hta did just right;
but you must do more, and do it
now. It is important that you act
promptly, energetically, and wisely,
go right ahead, lay down the iron
and put on the rolling stock on this
road, as far as it is graded, and work
incessantly to build this road at once
to the Bay. We must not delay
longer. Let us have a little more
activity and the glorious results to
beattained by the completion ot this
much needed road will be ours. To
falter longer is to endanger our high
est interests. We are decidedly in
earnest in this matter, and we cannot
r.est easy unless we warn you that
longer procrastination in this matter
ie likely to cost ns the long coveted
results, that are now within our grasp,
but may be suddenly snatched
from us.

FREE SCHOOLS.
This issue of the Gazette con
tains a call for a school meeting to
be held in the school house of District
No. 9, on Monday, March 1st, at
which meeting an attempt will be
made to levy a 3 mill tax to sup
port said school during the ensuing
year. It is to be hoped that there
will be a full attendance of all the
patrons of the school, as this meeting
is of the utmost importance to those
who are rearing families. The former
practice in this, and other districts, in
this State of levying a small tax and
then charging tuition besides has
been attended with deleterious re
sults so far, and now it is high time
that this should be a free school in
deed. There are many families in this
district that are possessed of but mod
erate means, and yet have from three
(o five cl ildren that they are anxious
to send to school, but have been una
ble to do so, for the reason that they
could not afford to pay $12 or $15
per quarter, tuition.
We do not know of a single Wes
tern State, except our own, that fol
lows the system here in vogue. In
many of the Western States the
school tax is from li to 2j per cent.,
and yet it is paid cheerfully. This
district dors not ask but a levy of 3
mills, which is a very light tax, and
no one ought to complain at paying
such a trifling rate. Fellow citizens,
we expect that you will levy the
necessary tai, and thus enable those
who are not fortunate in possessing
a sufficiency ot tiiis world's goods,
to ed tcate their offspring, at least in
the rudiments of our mother tongue.
If this course is adopted, and we
have strong reason to believe that it
will be, for it appeals to our better
judgment with an overwhelming
force, many children who are now
daily seen upon our streets, growing
up in vice and crime, will hereafter be
found in the school room, laying the
foundation for future usefulness. Let
no pecuniary consideration, or old
time notions prevent your doing your
whole duty when the time comes to
cast your vote upon this all impor
tant matter. But once adopt the
free system and you. will never regret
it, uor wish to retua to the present
one.
OURjtOADS.
" Now, don't you think something
might be done at the next Legisla
ture to get the roads of the State
into better order?" This was the
query we overheard as we sat in the
West Side car the other day. Never
mind the answer then given. It was
a little indistinct but the question
set us thinking, (for once.)
Is it not true that half the time
this winter our wives and daughters
are crying, like the starling in the
sentimental journey, " we can't get
out?" Is there any sense in sitting
quiet under evils all feel, yet none
take it in hand to cure ? Two days
ago we had supper at the house of a
cheery, hospitable fellow, some ten
miles out from town. The first thing
the wife had to do was to explain
that there was no tea nor sugar the
wagon could not get into town, and
the stores had ran out a week ago.
One man complains to his neighbor
that be had not got the seed wheat
he had bought; no help for it, the
wagon could not fetch it. The aext
man wants to sell some stock, but
he fears he can't deliver tbemr the
roads are so bad.
Then look at that man riding into
town. His weary horse drags one
foot after the other out of the mud
with a sound of slosh, suck, splash
at every step. The rider is bespat
tered lrom head to foot, face and all;
look at the crowd round the postoffice,
waiting for the mail half hour after
half hour passes no mail ; it can't
get through.
Now we put it to our readers if they
do not one and all recognize the
truth of these sketches ?
But this is only inconvenience you
say. Well, but money is lost, and
there's the rub. How can you ex
pect the country to please all these
men coming in now the railroad is
open, when tbey can't get about to
see it ? A man might as well take
his iamily to the Spokan country
(and that to onr mind is next to the
penitentiary for life) as settle down
where they can't get in and out to
and from town, and the children can't
get to school, and church is a forbid
den luxury, and if the doctor is
wanted it is ten hours business to
have him fetched.
But you want to increase the road
tax. No, we don't. All we want
you to apply your minds to is the
question how best to expend the
money and labor at present devoted
to this most needtul purpose. Is it
not possible to have some better plan
than for the Supervisor to warn, a cou
ple of men at a time to go to work on
such and such a piece of road, and
then leave it, without any instruc
tions what to do and how to do it,
or any oversight to secure that the
labor shall be faithfully applied. Is
it, or is it not true, that the majority
of the workers, so called, are more
anxious to get through their tax
and see that they do not do more
than their neighbors, and spend a
couple of very easy days, rather than
honestly labor to a given and well
considered end in fitting their piece
of road for traffic ? This matter
touches us all very closely,
see what the best remedy is,

A DOOMED MONARCH.
The recent attempts to destroy the
Czar of Uussia demonstate that the
nihilists are determined to have the
scalp of his majesty, at all hazards.
His narrow escape at the winter pal
ace has called forth reams of congrat
ulatory dispatches from the various
governments of Europe, and our
special correspondent, who is sojourn
ing at the Russian capital, informs us
by cablegram that the following was
received from New York:

To the Czar: Reform is necessary. You
must either make concession to the people,
or purchase leading citizens. I have fouud
the latter course effective. There is a charm
about the jingling dollar that even a Rus
sian nihilist cannot resist. Withhold your
income tax from the government and put the
money where it will do the most good.
Don't be caught in any more railroad wrecks.
My nephew is a good disbursing agent, and
is substantially reliable. I can spare him
this year. If you need his services, cable
me at once, and I will start him per first
steamer. If more help is needed, will send
Gabble, Garcelou, J. K. Kelly, Bellinger,
Chadwick, Noltner and Gullphrey. With
such advisers, income tax and nihilism can
be easily resisted and overcome, and the
purity of your government assured. I con
gratulate you on you escape.

m. THT STEAMERCALIFORNIA.
The steamship California, on a recent
voyage from Portland to Fort Wrangel and
Sitka, via Victoria, encountered heavy
seas in the North channel, at the mouth of
the Columbia, and lost her rudder. Capt.
Thorn stood out to see. A new rudder was
constructed, and lashed on, but the violence
of the waves carried it away, as well as
several others. Capt. Thorn had one rib
broken, by being thrown suddenly against a
case on deck. The vessel after drifting a
day or two, spranc a leak, the pumps fail
ing to work, the crew and passengers kept
the water below the furnaces by dipping out
with buckets; a portion of her cargo was
thrown overboard, and a portion of the
balance was somewhat injured. After te
ing buffeted by the waves for four days and
nights, all the time in eminent peril, the
good ship sighted Victoria and was safely
towed into port. Capt. Thorn, officers and
crew performed their duties, under the most
trying circumstances, and are truly alive to
the fact that had it not been for the assis
tance of the passengers, the steamer must
inevitably have.been lost.

FROM THE BAY.
Ed. Gazette: The S. S. Alex. Duncan
arrived on the 20th inst., with merchandise
to Siletz Agency, Williams, Hammond and
Case. The vessel was one hour and a quar
ter on the Columbia bar. At times her
decks were swept by the sea. She had pas
sengers and freight for Tillamook, but the
bar being rough, the captain concluded to
try Yaquina. He came in on the morning
tide, hardly realizing the passage across the
bar. E. H. Larson, of Astoria, and A. B.
Hallock, of Portland, were on board ; both
these gentlemen expressed their admiration
of the bar, the river and country. Allen
Parker, of the Oneatta mill, had some
freight, and Capt. Carroll kindly consented
to run up the river with the same. A gen
eral invitation was extended to the citizens
of Newport and vicinity to take a ride on
the steamer. The trip was enjoyed by a
number of our folks. The least depth of
water, low tide, found from Hammond's
wharf to near the mill was 21 feet. So for
commercial purposes Yaquina has 21 feet of
water at mean low tide, while Portland
laments having but 18 feet. There were
places where no bottom could be reach
ed in five fathoms, particularly along the
stretch of beautiful water between McLain's
and Coquille point, nearly two miles long,
a mile wide and perfectly land locked. The
Duncan is the second steamship that has
ventured up the river above Newport. In
1872 the (J. S. S. Shubrick ascended as far
as the ship yard, about eight miles from the
mouth. On the 21st the Duncan sailed for
Tillamook and Portland ; the bar was per
fectly smooth, not a breaker to be seen. A
gentleman named Elliot, recently from Min
nsota, was on board, going to Tillamook to
visit a brather. He told me Murray county
in that State had been eat out by grass-hoppers
for four successive years. The fifth
year crops looked well, but a very destruct
hailstorm destroyed nearly every thipg.
These live years the people have struggled
against pitiless fate. The sixth year brought
a long talked of railroad through the county,
and, Mr. Elliot said, "land that was value
less reached a high figure, and I sold out. "
Question If a country subject to such
ca" amities as the above can be benefited by
a railroad, what would land be worth in the.
Willamette valley with a road touching the
seaboard in 60 miles ?
Murray county, Minnesota, is many hun
dred miles from market ; half the value of
wheat is paid out in getting, it to water, or
rather to a place where competition makes
monopolies an impossibility.

A REMEDY FOR POGR STOCK.
Editor Gazette: I think it may possi
bly serve to call the attention of some of our
friends to a very useful crop if I send you
the following extract from a letter I received
a few days ago from Mr. R. E. Purver, who
lives six miles south of Salem. He was
described to me by an Oregonian friend of
great discernment as "a live Englishman,
and a regular rustler":
' ' We have grown Sutton's Yellow Globe
Mangle very well, as well as Swedes. It
may be interesting to you to learn of our
success with Winter Tares. Ours are ancle
high (two inches under snow). We had an
immense crop last year. Italian and com
mon rye grass, too, are quite a success. We
have cow grass, clover and winter beans,
and many things that pay for our bringing
here. I wish you could run over our farm
and see our progress an English commence
ment from the stump. We came six years
aco, cleared the land, grew nearly three
thousand bushels of wheat and seven hun
dred bushels of black Tartarian oats last
year. We have a nice breed of sheep, half
true Merino, half Ootswold. A neighbor
measured and weighed a rod of our Mangel
64 tons per acre. I think it is imperative
to sow grasses of many kinds to get good
pasture. Hop, red and white clover, rye
grass, red top ; and we find on our beaver
dam land the velvet grass gives much feed."
Here, Mr. Editor, is the remedy for the
skinny cattle and poor sheep that offend
your eyes as you ride about this country.
Really, nature has done her part, and we
must not blame the country if we are short
of feed. I know one neighbor of mine who
has kept his cow in full milk all this winter
on about half an acre of clover. And we
shall have this winter feed in addition to as
fine a crop of hay from the clover patch as
ever came off Timothy. If your friends
have not tried tares, get them to sow a
patch this spring, with a few oats to keep
the tares off the ground. They will never
repent it. W. N.

of fine cattle. All cattle men will lose from
50 to 75 per cent. Many who have hay can
not save their stock, as they are not fixed
for feeding. Those that do not need feed
get most, because they can contend for it.
Some hay stacks are entirely covered with
snow drifts. Horses seem to fare very well.
Many good judges of such matters say that
stock that is not fed at all looks better than
that fed. The trouble is that feeding has
been going on since January 1st, and the
cattle rely entirely upon this anil will not

THE ALEX DUNCAN.
Yamhill Reporter.
This steamer, about which more
lies have been told during the past
few months than one could shake a
stick at, has put in an appearance on
our waters. The Oregonian has this
mention of her
"The coasting steamer Alex Dun
can arrived at one o'clock yesterday
afternoon and landed at Pacific dock.
She left San Francisco on the 24th ult,.
and stopped at Crescent City, Coos
Bay, Yaquina Bay and Umpqua.
She took 17 passengers from San
Francisco for way ports, and brought
up 200 tons of freight. The steamer
will leave for Tillamook and Yaquina
Bay next Saturday."
It seems to us that Yaquina Bay is
rather looming up of late. This is as
it should be. No part of Oregon has
a fairer or more well assured future
before it. The region round about
that sheet of water and its tributaries
will in the course of time be by no
means, a small empire of itself. The
same may be predicted of the Tilla
mook region. The fact is the value
of the coast region of Oregon as a fac
tor in the future growth and prosperi
ty of this great State of ours is but
imperfecly understood even by those
who have penetrated and partially ex
plored this wild and picturesque re
gion. The great dairies of the world
will yet be located in the coast range.
'There -is lumber enough in these
mountains to supply the continent for
a century. But this is wandering
from the subject. We trust the Alex
Duncan will prove the successful, as
we are sure it will be the useful pio
neer of a great and constantly increas
ing coast trade. The Officers of that
vessel can contribute in a vary valua
ble manner to the much required
knowledge of the coast, by recording
and making public, private observa
tions upon the accessibility of the va
rious harbors which may be visited,
the character and changes of the tidal
currents, bars and other phenomena
which the intelligent mariner must
necessarily take observation of. Wt
repeted, we hope the Duncan will
prove both a useful and successful pio
neer in the work of developing a great
and growing commerce. Every step
in this direction is a move toward mak
ing the State of Oregon independent
and self-sustaining. Each vessel which
enters a coast port breaks down some
isolating barrier, knits together rautu
ally dependent coinmirnities, encour
ages the pioneer in his work of re
deeming the wilderness from the
curse otarrenes8, creates new wants
and opens new fields of supply for la
bor and merchantable commodities
and at once encourages population,
without which all our natural wealth
and our abounding resources are less
than nothing.

physicians as well as invalids to use it with
confidence. It is the most reliable remedy
for diseases of the throat and lungs that sci
ence has produced. It strikes at the foun
dation of all pulmonary diseases, affording
prompt and certain relief, and is adapted to
patients of any age or either sex. Being
very palatable, the youngest children take
it without difficulty. In the treatment of
ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat,
Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's
Sore Throat, Asthma. Croup, and Ca
tarrh, the effects of Ayek's Cherry Pec
toral are magical, and multitudes are an
nually preserved from serious illness by its

there is no other remedy so efficacious,,

The marvellous cures which Aver's
Cherry Pectokal has effected all over tho
world are a sufficient guaranty that it will
continue to produce the best results. An
impartial trial will convince the most scepti
cal of its wonderful curative powers, as well
as of its superiority over all other prepara
tions for pulmonary complaints.
Eminent physicians in all parts of the
country, knowing its composition, recom
mend Ayer's Cherry Pectoral to invalids,
and prescribe it in their practice. The test
of half a century has proved its absolute
certainty to cure all pulmonary complaints
not already beyond the reach of human aid.
