Corvallis, AprU 8, 1881. J.vlCIAL PAPER FOR 3ENT0N COuNTY W. B. CAltlKR. BE UP AND AT WORK. Surely if any note of warning were needed to call on the dwellers in Western Oregon and these Valley oounlies in particular, to combine to aisi in eviry possible way the com pletion of the Oregon Pacific Rail road, it would be found loud as a trumpet call in the suggestions re gnrding the relations of the Northern Pacific and Oregon Kail way and Navigation Companies,'' which Mr Villaid had the almost inconceivabk' audacity to require the Oregonian to publish on the 2d of April, 1881. It is a merciful provision of Provi dence that the most dangerous ani mals utter some sound, or create some noiee before their deadly powers are called into exercise. Too often with men it is different, and language seems to have been giv en them, as Talleyrand said, to con- eal their thoughts. But exci ptio lal cases are found now and again, where the inmost thoughts and intent ions are paraded without a blush and in seeming insensibility to the repulsion and disgust they excite in decent minded people. This is not tho first time fhat the blood and iron policy of control has been flaunted in our faces. Hardly had this Mr. Villard climbed into the saddle than he set out to ride. Who can ever forget his first circular with I'm " exclusive control of the Colum bia river, which isj.be backbone of the enterprise," and its declaration of intention to prevent opposing in terests from establishing themselves in " our own territory." And now hear him. "The Oregon Hail way and Navigation Company .has practical control of all the trans portation business of Western Ore gon, of Eastern Oregon, and all that part of Washington territory south of the main branch of the Columbia, known as the Snake River." Has it indeed ? What has the Scotch Company and Mr. iieid to say to th s, so far as Western Oregon is concerned ? How about the compet itive system of narrow gauge railroad, which so late as last August the special committee of the O. 11. fc N. Co. thought sufficiently important to prevent then their recommending the very purchase of the Valley stand ard gauge railroads, Mr. Villard now announces ? Read the following sentences from that same O. R. & N. committee's report: " The steamship portion of our traffic represents the bulk of the -export and import trade of the whole of Oregon aud the greater part of Washington Territory, neitier of which has any other means of com itnication with the outside world." It seems to us that when the rattles play so loudly the man who takes no notice deserves to be struck- aud will get mighty little pity when the snake has secured his victim for good and all. Surely there must be something in the old wife's story of fascination; and this great fertile, growing, country of Western Oregon, with its seventy five thousand of population, whose fu ture, that of their sons and daughters now is at stake on keeping the fatal powers of this all swallowing raonop. oly oft from their homes, is silent, lell bound, calmly watching the ap proach of their fate. Were it not so the whole Valley would be of the same mind as the Linn count? Grange, whose Resolu tions of Saturday last we print in an other column. All these counties would be up and doing. They would invite the fullest emjuiiy, they would seek the most ample information as to the condition and prospects of the Oregon Pacific railroad, but above all, of the Yaqaina Bay improvement. They would meet: they would organ ize: they would not suffer one month to pass until the succes of the harbor works, so far as money and intclli gence can insure success, was past al doubt. They would not call on this mm an the other, and this corporation and th Other to come & help them; but they would help themselves. How? do you say. Tim: The peo pie would say, this railroad or the other railroad may or-may not sue ceed now this yean bat the harbor is oiirs, our children's, and this shall be set right, so that the grain ships tniy cmie in. When the harbor is there the railroad to it is as certain as sunrise. B it then the people would go on to say. This Oregon Pacific is clean banded, so far as we are concerned' fit business lttelV liftYfj Wof lietf in mrtli ey, tinwe aind energy without stint to bring about the completion of so much of the road this very year as will connect the Valley with the Bay. The opposition they met is not 'honest or legitimate and we, the people, here by declare that cause our own, and when and how we are shown the back ing and support that road needs, then aud there it shall have it. A h for Mr. Villard, who thinks he . 1.11 . 1 - ! . . . . neeus out neciare a ining exists in make it : who plas the part of a ere at or, and struts the stage, with let il be done and it is done, in every word and atiitude; we, should recommend to him the study, the careful study, of the f ourth chapter of the book of the Prophet Daniel for in it he will find the most suggestive parallel we can rempmber, for his tone and style, and the record also of how Nebuchadnez" zar found it answer. ed oil' Saturday last, these were some of the questions asked and answered. We trust that Benton county will not be backward in responding, and that she will be represented at the Al bany convention on the, 21st, by her best and m st earnest sons. THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD, THE LINN COUNTY GRANGE, In these days, when corporations and monopolies run riot, and when all the ancient rights of farming popula" lions are made playthings of, to amuse and enliven the spare hours of the Presidents, who are rushing into pritr one after another, it is refreshing to meet sixty or seventy representative men and women, who know their pur poses and aims, and mean to carry them into execution. There, in that council chamber there was more common sense talked on this transportation business.' than would fill this papet. It would have done some people good to see how the completion of the Oregon Pacific and the opening of Yaquiua Harbor was absolutely proved to be as good as ten cents a bushel profit to the Val ley farmer. And that is practical ; i it not ? When our people in Benton county know it too. aud Marion, aud Lane, a'nd Polk, aud Yamhill, ami Washington, aye, and Douglas too, then all that nonsense about the Ore gon Pacific not being needed, and about the people of Oregon being well supplied with transportation, and about retting the narrow gauge pco pie to come in and lay their little track down to the bay, will p iss into the empty air it is. The people are there, the country is there, the pro ducts are there, the need of develop ment is there, to ensure, absolutely en sure, the immediate completion of the Oregon Pacific. Is it not not natural though to make sure of the Harbor ? Is it not true thatto complete these harbor improve raents the engineer's estima'.e of cost js about $340,000 ? Does not every one know that this jetty or breakwa ter is completed and the rocky points and edges of the reefs blasted out, there is every probability, short of cer tainty, that the improvement is per maneot and effectual? And is it not equally familiar to all our minds that then this harbor will be second to none on this Pacific coast, between San Fraucisco and the Straits of Fuca? Is it not provable to every sea cap tain, who sails to this North Pacific, that he is less than half an hour's dis' tance from deep blue water to his wharf? Will not the whole maritime world soon know that instead of being mulcted and fined for pilotage and towage until they are sick of paying, that a few dollars paid to the harbor tug will frank them from five fathoms outside to alongside tho warehouse ? Will not the chart then Bhow them that the harbor once reached is safe and land-locked, with good holding ground for anchorage, and room to swing in deep water right alongside the landing stage ? And is it to be supposed for a mo ment that unscrupulous misrepresen" tation can permanently obscure these facts, and keep the investing public from supporting an enternris. built on solid advantages like these? Is it not known to all who have any confidential news from Washing ton that the opposition to Yaquiua was there at this last short session in full force and pay ? And that thus even the moderate demand of $25, 000, put forward by the U. S. Engi neers, was cut down to $10,000 ? Is it not true that to supply the shortcomings of Congress and put the Engineers in funds for the vigorous prosecution of the works, would be but a trifling effort for the farmers of this valley? What would be easier than for each man to contribute so many bushels out of the coming crop, and send them to the warehou se at Albany, to be taken charge of and re alized by the Council of the Grange and the proceeds paid over as the disbursements of the works require, after the sums already appropriated are spent ? And would not the val ley population respond as one man to an appeal so supported, and made to them, not. by interested parties, but by their own best representatives, having no motive bat the common good ? These were the topics disouss- QARFIELD'S PLURALITY, The New York Tim essays: We announced several Weeks since that nvmo to the unexpected discrepan eies in the toolings of political alma- nacs. we are nnauie, even ai ims laie lav to decide whether Garfield or Hancock had a plurality in the conn try. Relying upon the first almanacs received by us and we are obliged to depend on these lext books for j.io litical statistics we had decided a few questions to the effect that Gar field fiaif a small plurality ; dui a lew days after the appearance of that is sue, we were staggered by a table from the Cincinnati fanquirer, show ing that a plurality for Hancock ot 8,100, and further donot was cast u on our first authorities by the appear ance of later almanacs giving the democratic candidateasmall plurality. In the meantime we were flooded with questions on the point No two compilations of the vole could be found to agree, and hence we deter mined to address the several oecrela rius of State ourselves aud publish a correct table when the full returns were received. These we now have. As the onlv just method of ascertain ing the vote or plurality in a State in the presidential election, we have in all cases used the highest vote cast in lhat State for either a republican or democratic elector. In Virginia the funiler and readjuster vote is added together, and in Maine the fusion vote is crediteil to Hancock. The complete table gives Garfield 3,522 plurality. We have in our possession state ments from Secretaries of States. These have leen carefully checked with the totals. The footings are accurate, and il may now be consid ered established for the first time that the actual plurality of Garfield over Hancock, based upon a compari son of the honest vote for the elec tors of each party in each Slate is 3, 522 neither more nor less. This may be accepted as the answer to the very numerous questions we have received on this subject, as il will be accepted by the country generally as finally settling this much vexed question. A screw loose already ? Why Mr. Vdfard's Presidential message in hut Saturday's Oregonian told the world that the O. R. fc N. " will control by virtue of arrangements now maturing in Europe, the 312 miles of stuidard gauge road now owned aud operated by the Oregon and California Kail- road in Western Orsgon. It will fur ther control," he went on, " 150 miles additional." And now the Oregon ian ot Tuesday says that the formali ties required for completing the scheme for absorbing, or swallowing, or "controlling the poor valley roads, may ''render the expected re organ i nation difficult, or at least may defer it fo ra time." So soon ? Is there another Mr. Billings objecting to be swallowed ? Or have some ot these foreigners awoke to the situation ? Really this Oregon Jupiter must take care; if any more of his thunderbolts miss fire, people will begin to think there is no real thunder alter all. A few mure fizzes and sputters and the charm will bursf Do you remember the fable of the donkey, who imitated th spaniel and tried to jump up aud sit on hi mas eer's knee ? There was a picture of it in theold book of jssop's tables that we were raised on, that occurs natur ally to the mind when a ponderous and unwieldy creaturetries to be joc ular and frisky. The Oregonian puts in a paragraph of this order now and then. On Tuesday last it was face tious over the St. Helen's paper pre dicting the rise of St. Helens. "When the cormorant and the bittern shall possess Portland, and when the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it ;" and points its joke by alleging that St. Helens, Yaquiua Bay, and Puget Sound agree that the City of Poi tiand has no future. Is not that wiity and in good taste ? We print in another column a fi nancial article from the New York Sun, of March 21st. It confirms the Opinion we hold strongly, that those of oar farmers and warehousemen, who have been bold enough to re fuse to sell their wheat at condemna tion prices will profit by their courage.

We now give it in full that bnr readers may see the view taken in New York of the attempt made by Mr. Villard and his folio wurr, to obtain "control" the- Northern Pacific : The announcement that the Execu tive Committee of the Northern Paci fic Railroad had decided to distribute nearly $18,000,000 of the common stock of the company, its briefly report ed in another column, created much surprise in Wall street to-day. It is said that some of the directors of the road were not aware of the act until it became generally public. On the reor ganization of the road in 1 873 its capi tal was fixed at $1UU,UUU,UUU, ot wnieo $51,000,000 were in preferred stock, issued in place of the old seven-thirty bonds of the Jay Cooke management. This preferred stock, being; receivabh for the company s lands at par, has now j been reduced to about $42,000,000.1 Of the $49,000,000 of common stock, j $18,000,000 were held m turret by the company to: ;eiivery to tne- owners or the stock before the reorganization. Although only $31, 000,00ft of this common stock had "one ofc f the company's control, the entire- 19,000, 000 were listed at the Stock Exchange. In explanation of the recast act of the executive committee, It is saiit that the proprietors of the, stock held in trust have been urgently demanding full possession of their property,, as their proprietary rights could noi ht dispos ed of for more than 20 or 25 while the price of the issued stock lias lately been about 50. The advance of more tbans twenty points in Northern Pacific stock dur ing the last three months is exphuued by the efforts of the pool formed by Mr. Villard, with other friends of the Oregon Railway and Navigation. Com pany, to get control of the Northern Pacific road. How this new distribu tion of stock will affect these attempts is a question much" discussed in Wall street, but in regard to which there is a lack of definite information. The present directors of the North ern Pacific Railroad are Fredeuiek Billings, of Vermont; Chas. B. Wright, of Philadelphia; Benjamin P. Cheney, of Boston: Johuston Livingston, of this city; Joseph Dilworth, of Pitts burg; Joseph D. Potts, of Philadelphia; Hugh McCulloch, of Washington; A H. Barnev, of this city; William R. Garrison, of this city; Henry E. Johnr- ston, of Baltimore; Robert Harris, of this city; John W. Ellis, of this city.. and John E. Bullitt, of Philadelphia.. The members of the Executive Corar raittce are Robert Harris, Benjamin P. Cheney, Joseph D. Potts, Johnston Livingston and William R. Garrison. On inquiry to-day at the offices of. the company, No. 2J fcifth A-venue, it was learned that the persons entitled to receive the newly-issued stock num bered from three hundred to five hun dred, and that the stock was pretty well divided among them. It was also said that nothing was known by the management of the company as to the amount of stock which had been secured by the Villard pool. A gentleman connected with the company said that the proposition to distribute the residue of the common stock had repeatedly been discussed in the Board of Directors, and that the matter was finally left 'unfinished in the hands of the executive committee. The latter body, under the by-laws, had all the powei-s of the directory, which would promptly ratify the act of the committee at the next meeting. The only reason for the distribution of stock was tht clamor raised by the owners, who could not in justice be kept out of its possession in the pres ent state of the stock market. He could not tell how the measure would affect the schemes of the Villard pool. The motive for the formation of that organization was obvious to any one who knew the character of the routes of the Northern Pacific Railroad and the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. The seaport of the latter comp.iny was Portland, Oregon, situa ted on the Willamette River, a tribu tary of the Columbia, The bar at the mouth of the Columbia River was very difhs ilt of passage by vessels going in either direction, and severe storms were very frequent off the coast there, so that it was not uncommon for ves sels to be weatherbound near that point for two weeks at a time. Then, there were many bars, shoals, etc, be tween the mouth of the river and Port- and, rendering navigation extremely difficult. On the other hand, there was perfectly plain sailing, with a deep channel, to Tacoma, the seaport and western terminus of the North ern Pacific road, on Commencement Bay, Puget Sound. There were twenty-five feet of water at low tide oft' the company's docks at that place, and from there to the ocean there was not a reef or shoal. In consequence of the differences noted, the cost of chartering a first-class vessel to go from this city to Portland was $6,000 more than to go from this city to Tacoma. Then, the line of the Northern Pacific road from Ainsworth, at the mouth of the Snake River, to Tacoma, would be 135 miles shorter than the route around through Portland. It follow ed from these facts that the railroads and steamboat fine of the Oregon Raiway and Navigation Company would be greatly injured by the com pletion of the Northern Pacific to Ta coma, and it was to prevent this com pletion that the Villard pool was form ed. Before tbat.lMr. Villard had tried unsuccessfully to induce the Northern Pacific Company to enter into some plan of consolidation, or to delay work on the road beyond Ainsworth. The same gentleman remarked that if the Villard party had not secured conteo? of the NcrM.om Pacific before the new distribution of stoc'r, the in crease ,,i niuketa'Je shares would be like' , to rid theui in t.ttitig their ol -jec. I'', however, they had practically sec red a controlling interest, tl e new issu mjghi ten 1 to lessen their hold. r.msB- Gf.oroe P. Wkenk, Auctioneer. E.
