OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COhHTY,
ANOTHER OF THE OF.rOONIAK'S BUMMEK
SAULTS. The daily Oregonian of the 11th
Binge an entirely different song to
what it did about two years ago, in
regard to the transfer ot the public
levee ot Portland. It seems that
bout two or more years ago some
of the sharks of Portland formulated
a scheme which wao not objectionable
to tue Oregonian, to sell the levee to
one of the well known corporations
of Portland. That corporation being
one to which the voice of the Ore-
ffonian is lilted with praise, no mat
ter what it does or attempts to do
Before the scheme spoken of came to
ji finality, Mr. Dundee Read, who
was then president and one of tho
principal managers of another cor
poration in building the It arrow
Gague Kailroad, concluded to enter
the contest, for the purpose ot ac
quiring the public levee for the bene
fit of his company, lie had only
just began to opperate upon that
suggestion when the Oregonian and
parties in the councel of Portland
and the other schecmers who had
been planing to sell the levoe to
the favorite corporation, all ef a sud
den changed their base of oppera-
and it is certainly time that their rep
resentatives begin to act upon some
basis which will protect the agricul
tural districts from a dozen or two of
the Portland sharks and leeches which
have for their object not the advance
ment of the geueral, but the promo
tion of selfish corporate interests.
Portland ia a nice cit y and a wealth v
one, and composed generally of a
good class of citizens, but they stay
ot home and attend to their legiti
mate affairs, while a dozen or two ot
her other inhabitants in the interests
of some jobs try to run the public
affairs and also swarm around the
legislature each succeeding sension ia
the attempt to boost their corporate
pels and retard the deyelopements of
all other parts of the State not calcu
lated to enf.ance the interests of their
pets. The people of the interior pr.rts
of the Slate can protect themselves
from the encroachment of these pub
lic feharks if their representatives wilt
go to work with the view of accom
plishing that object.
ABE THEY GA!riMIATE3 fOR UrTITED
STATES 'SuNATCSSf IF SO LOOK
OUT TOR THE 15.
It was currently reported about the
time of the session of ths last legisla
ture that certain gentlemen of this
stato came to Salem, ot that time to
occupy a position in the third house,
and tjiiii- they then declared their ob
ject there was lor the purpose of ''op
posing anything which Col. Hogg
wp.s interested in." While it is not
cur purpose ia una article to
enter into anv inquiry as to the
purposes and actions ol Co
Jlogg, Icwluer than to inquire
lions and began with all the vigor into what the above assertion
possible to oppose the disposal of the
levee, churning among other things
as a reason, therefor, that said loree
had been granted to the city for cer
tain specific public purposes, nr
that it must therefore forever remain
in tact lor that purpose in order to
carry out the will of the grant or.
They fought the question long and
hard in every way immagiaable find
Btter a long time they succeeded in
preventing its being disposed of.
Since which time, however, Mr. Reed
who then was desirous of gaming
control of the property, has solil out
his narrow gague road and probably
Bo longer wants the levee. Najv
meant to the people of Oregon, At
about the time of tho last legislature
Coi. Hogg was desirous of the legis
lature to pass tho bill kuown as Sen
ate bill S2. which the people by this
time arc quite familiar with, ,and
which was for the purpose pf regulat
ing traffic among common carriers; a
bill, the passage of which, was of the
utmost importance to the peep'.o ot
the Slate. II Coi. Hogg was anxious
at that time to accomplish anything
else before that legislature it was pro
bably in the interests of building the
Yaquina Railroad which as a means
of competition in the transportation
facilities of Oregon is of untold
that he is necessitated to have his
morning drams, so he continues gulp
ing down the firey element that is
inflaming Lis stomach and contract
ing and hardening his liver. To
burn out a man's digestive organs w
just as certain to end him fatally as
to send any missel of death to the
brain, heart or Kings, with this differ
ence only the process is slower. Let

comes the Oregonian again to the j advantage
people. It migbt
was Edvoc:ati;;g nl that lir-jc are now
candidates for election to tho United
States Senate. It is possible if they
are and should bs elected that they
might, oppose something there in the
people's interests because they, or
their master, did not admire some
Other person's desires or what come
ether person was inteiested in. If
snch parties now seek the
an
front and advocates the disposal ot 1 be well &c this tima for the Senators
the levee again because it says the and Representatives of the present
city Deeds a new hall to meet the re
quirements of its large and fastly in
creasing population, and it is thought
that $05,000 can be had for ii. It
is no longer necessary to keep the
levee for the purposes intended by
vits grantor as a water front for the
use of the public as contended by
the Oregonian and the vest of that
gang of jobbers of two years ago. The
use of it for tbe accommodation of
the many people for wharfage pur
poses who might coe proper to use
the water of tho Willamette river
and its tributaries for the purpose of
conveying the surplus to market of
the vast region of country which
those waters drain. It is now sug
gested by the Oregonian that the
constant increasing warehouse facili
ties will likely supply sufficient com
petition so as to prevent ny extor
tion in tbey ay of wharfage charges
whlcrfthe use of a public levee might
prevent. The increase in warehouses
in the last two years most certainly
have been great indeed in order to
allay all of the fears than expressed
by that "only organ." ot tho oppres-
ions likely to result to the shippers
ftiti peoples interests if that levee
was diverted from tta original pur
pose. What merit or demerit there
w two years ago in the r.clions cr
motives of either ct tho corporations
who wanted to gam control of the
public levee we do not protend to
know neither do wo care. Yet the
reasons so ftrocgly urged by the
Oregonian why tho levea chon'.d bo
kept for pub i in use : wo years isg-i
when Mr. Heed wauled i' has not
been changed! ia that zhovh space of
time.
THE CRKGOS PAC1ITC RAILROAD.
The Oregon Colonist for Septem
ber says: The Valley farmers are
one and all regretting the delayed
completion of the Oregon Pacific
Railroad, which they look to to save
them at least ten cents per bushel.
Of course one hears the old tale now
and again, "Sold out to Villard;" but
most appreciate the true position.
When thev look back only a couple
cf years and eotrast the slate of facts
lo-dav with that which all were
groaning under then, they cannot
but admit the progress made. Then
the improvement of Yaquina Harbor
was yet unrecognized as a National
object, and the railroad with but ten
miles of imperfect grade, with light
rsfis and rolling stock to correspond.
Since then appropriations to tho ex
tent of $110,000, have been obtanird,
it the faceof determined opposition,
and in spite of ignorance of the con
ditions of the place, which ignorance
has been the hardest foe. to beat.
The whole road between C rval!is
and Yaquina has been definitely lo
cated, and its practicability demon
strated, with the easy grade of cue
per cent, goiiiij Westwards from the
Valley to the Ocean. Only those
who appreciate the vast importance
of having a road safe, easy, and
economical to work, can understand
the satisfaction with which these re
sults of the long t-.v.l careful surveys
were seen. Then steel rails for the
whole road with all the necessary
apnliaoces for a first-class standard
track have hen provided, with the
necessary locomotives, passenger
coaches, and baggage cars; and the
material for s complete outfit of box
and flat ears, sufficient for r.n exten
sive business. From Corvsllis west
ward sbont fifteen miles of grade
have been constructed, besides a con
siderable distance eastwards from
Yaquina, where const ruction is going
on "ail the time. A substantial wimri

New York, Sept. 10. "A complimentary
dinner to General H. G. Gibson, U. S. A.,
by his associates and friends of California
Pioneers, on the 32 anniversary of the ad
mission of California to the Union." So
ran the admission cards to very jolly little
banquet at Martineile's, at which some fifty
old pioneeis as guests sat down at C o'clock
this P. M. The occasion was a banquet to
General Gibson, Sr., vice-president of the
society, tendered by his associates prior to
his departure from his post at Ft. Wads
wcrth by .order of the war department to
the northwest. Tables Jfcre arranged in
the shape of an anchor, and were decorated
with bouquets of rare flowers.
Chicago, Sept- 9. Iu the morning session
of the tariff commission heard the Chicago
representatives of the lumber interest. They
generally agreed with the S.igiuaw men.
Hon. Tradena Dean, a prominent dealer,
took, however an opposite view, declaring
himselt most emphatically a frse trader on
the lumber question. lie could see many
reasons against, and none for the payment
of two dollars per thousand on Canadian
lumber. The Saginaw men claimed they
had only enough lumber for a terra of years.
It was the part of prudence to draw from
other sources. He did not believe the sup
ply would be exhausted so soon, but the
end was coming. The. stiunpage men
were bulling lumber before the fire lumber
bad cost bun an .average of $14.46 per thotif,
and; the year after the tire, ?50.8l); in 18S1
it w.-ss $t3.'.?5, and this year it was from 14
to 615. He didn't put ;iny faith in the talk
aoout the difference in the cost of labor.
Why would a man go across an imaginary
line aud work for 315 a month when hc-
could get $'30 this side. He made further
arguments which wore listened to with
great interest, as he showed a thorough ac
quaintance with the business, and evinced
great originality ia his ideas.
Now York, .Sept. 9. Ths grievances of
the merchants of California against the dis
crimination of railroads is attracting much
attention in this city, and various aro the
schemes devised to relieve them, but as yt-t
nothing Has been devised that proves profit
able to ail concerned, and especially to the
merchants, who above all things require
quick dispatch se vell as low riites of trans
portation. Among the latent scheme.! is a
line of auxih'.-y steamers r-:u tins port io
Sau Francisco with a general corcjo; tiieuci
to Liverpool with nrheat and return to New
Vork with such freight as may be obtain
able. The scheme is to form a company
and build two steamers as an experiment
having a capacity ' three thousand ferns
cargo exclusive of ooal; these vessels t hare
compound engines capable ol driving tiic
ship eiht knots p?r hour; consuming 12
tons of coal per dny. It is estimated that a
steamer can make the trip to S.vn Francisco
legislature to inquire and ascertain to
a certainty ii any of these parties who
appeared upoa.thc scene of action to
oppoes those things which Col. Hogg nnioading and storage of the im
munise quantity of material which
even seventy miles of flrrit class road
requires. Then st the various saw
mills and the timber camps, the tim
ber and framing ftr the bridges and
Ires', ling along the road has been
prepared. The various tie contracts
have been kept ia steady progress)
and many are now complete.
About flta end of May. 'the construc
tion of the three tunnels was under
taken, and baa since been steadily
pushed forwards. The t- (graph line
between CorvaJfta and Yaquina has
been erected and is in constant ttms.
Meanwhile the obligations ;f the

TECT THE PEOPLE IF THEY VTXLI,.
From some indications which have
Cropped out in the organization of
the present Oregon Legislature it
wonld seem that that body may not
possibly be so strongly organized in
the interest of Portland grabbers and
monopolies as it was at the last ses
sion. The one who two years ago
made such loud, active and vindic
tive demonstrations against the inter
ests of all the valley, southern and
eastern Orogon, was not this time re
warded with any of tho highest offi
ces of that body. Tho agricultural
portions of the state have had ample
reflecting time, since the last legisla
ture, in order to study the motives
and actions of that body in the selfish
interests of one or two corporations
which center in and about Portland,
support of tha legislature for the
United States Senr-.te it roi-ht be
well for them to wise and explain
why thoy were two years ago trying
tbeir utmost to destroy any possibil
ity of securing to tho people say
competition in tralEc and freights.
And why they were a'uo trying to
iasten more unniy ana ewsety we
fetters cf the Villard monopoly
around tho destinies of tho people of
Oregon without any hope cf relief.

To lioetiPe at; evil by legislation is
the method of making ?!;e evi! lawful
in the eyes cf the laws of the laud,
but no statuary legislation can make
an evil morally right. Legislation
encircling an evil, to tester and per
petuate it, cannot arrest the badjeon
scquents that grows out that evil,
rjorally bad phiaically.
Disease is the principle result of
fipirit drinking not all disease. De
lirium tremens is mo.t frequently the
result of dram drinking, but ibis is
not the only aifection. Cirrhosis of
tha liver is a very frequent result of
dram drinking. The disease produc
er- a contraction of tho liver aud gives
il n granular and rodalated appear
iinco giving rise to the term "hob
nailed" as known among medical
men. The victim of the form of dis
ease becomes dropscal. You may de
tect him by the enlarged condition
of his body. The dram drinker that
is overtaken with this ailment is nev
er cured he is sentenced to a fatal
termination. An experienced obser
ver of saloon victims may enter a
strange city, where there is liqnor
dealing, and as he walks the streets
he will readily recognize the victim
of cirrhosis of the liver. The dis
tended, protruding and rounded con
dition of the abdomen, advertises the
victim to the world. The man that
is in this condition imagines frequent
ly he is growing fat, yet he realizes
bis appetite and digestion is bad and
day untouched by ail the insinua
tions and slanders which are repeat
ed by i'.s untiring enemies M'ith pain
iu! monotony.
Now all these facts arc patent to
all, undeniable in the smallest de
tail; and we have collected then 'u
these few sentences just to reassure
any doubtful friend, and to point
out to them two thiug; first, that
this careful management, large out
lay, and continuous work is absolute
!y inconsistent with any idea of 'Sell
ing out to Viilard,"-' quite apart from
all questions of conduct aud char
acter which might be involved in
8uch a course; and, second, that the
whole management of this business
is in the hand of men who are lully
alive to the importance of success in
the scheme as a whole, involving
therein the bringing to harmonious
working together oi many parts, and
that consequently they may be safe
ly trusted to have the railroad in one
ration at . the proper time. One
thing is sure, that the taunts atul
abnse of neither the IViclamette Far
mer nor the Oregonio.n, nor of any
other precious publication of that
nature, will have the slightest weight
in either hastening or retarding the
development of the plans in which
the construction aud opening of the
secticn of road between Corvallis
and Yaquina is only an important
link.

be very apt to get in somebody's way in an
election at the south as"he is now in the
north. The foreign element now has much
consideration in party politics and party
platform and gives concern and trouble to
the native element in elections. We only
credit it as a fact, without saying whether
European influence is for good or evil. It is
said it now endangers the hold of the re
publican party upon their long lease of
power and we vote that a good tiling to
their credit. On the contrary the China
man will be no political factor at all and
give nobody auy eoneeru on account of po
litical parties and the outcome of elections.
He will only work for your money. May
be you can't pay him as easily as you can
the negro in chips and whetstones, but he
will work cheap. Chinese labor will have a
good influence upon negro laborers and
make them more reliable and constant. As
a laborer, the Chinaman makes his contract
to labor for you and is said to be over satis
tied if you comply with your contract and
pay him in accordance with the stipulation.
It is a well kuown fact the negro is bound
to bo dissatisfied in every and any event.
Now we ::s.-.iniie and believe truthfully, the
great majority of Mississippi who approve
the legislative plan for securing immigra
tion, are actuated by a thought aud wish for
more better and cheaper labor, and why
not bring in Chinese.

Ireland of the utter withdrawel of English

no tourists now visit the count rv. The

they are safe in every part of the Green
Isle, but no one seems disposed so travel
in a country where murders sre of such fre
pie:it occurrence. Sportsmen, too, have
been driven awav bv the neotde and half
the haunts iu the sister Island might ns
well be closed. The effect of this isolation
of the people is likoly to be severaly felt
during the coming winter.

principal result to the nation of the election
will probably be that Maine will not longer
have two congressmen who will muddle

the suggestion that Maine dots not need to

Alexandria, Sept. 12 Prominent finan
cial estimates say Egypt will Iosa nearly
70,000.000 by the war. The cotton crop
which is entirely lost, wonld have been
worth nearly 40,000,000. There is little
hope of saving any of the sugar crop if the
country is not within a settled condition
within two months. It will be too late for
saving next year's csreals, and several largo
failures are anticipated shortly.

to take Ms chance with 3eaver, and will
defeat any effort at a new ticket. Tliere
fore it doea not seem passible there can be
a new ticket. Mr. MeKee, the independ
cuts' chairman, eay the independents arc
satisfied with the situation and no compro
mise short of unconditional surrender wilj
be listened to. If the stalwarts want to
elect a republican ticket they must vote for
Stewart. The campaign begins in earnest
this week. Heretofore Beaver has had it
all his own way and been ranting all over
the state. Now he must contend with
Stewart and Patterson. Gov. Hoyt's
prophecy of Beaver's defeat is evidently
correct. The stalwart chairman, Cooper,
having failed to capture the labor conven
tion, has failed to purchase the thirty thous
and Irish aud land league votes that were
bargained for, and has the rapidly increas
ing independent army staring him in the
face. To-day the election of Patterson is
as sure as anything can be in politics.
