The West Side Extension: At its last
meeting the board of trade appointed one of
the merobers to make a trip over the road
between Corvallis and Portland and dis
tribute the petitions for the connection with
the main line. A letter received from hiin
to-day asks that more petitions be sent him
at once as every man, woman ana cniui, on
the road is-anxiou to sign it. This looks
like business and we may safely predict that
ere long the California - overland express
will be rushiug into our city. In tne mean
time Ralston Cox. the peoples grocer, is ex
tending his business in all departments, and
is gaining an iniu.ense amount ot custom.

TheRoyce & Lansing company played in
this city on Wednesday evening, mere
were over 509 persons ia the audience.
This is said, by Mr. Royce, to be the larg
est audience they have showed to since they
left San Francisco, coming overland. The
general criticism is that they wore good but
did not come up to their two nights here in
the earlyibart of 1888. They expect to be
here again two years hence.

1889!
Bury the croaker out in the woods,
J.n a beautiful hole in the ground,
Where the woodpecker pecks and the bumble bee bums,
And the straddle bug straddles around;
Like a bird of ill omen he hovers around.
He's impracticable, stingy, and dead,
But he wants the whole earth, and all of its crust,
And the stars that shine over his head;
Then hustle him off to the bumble bee's roost,
And bury him deep in the groand;
He's no use to us here, get him out of the way,
It is live men we want in our town.

It is reported that as a last re

to recognize the govornor as the

threatens to finally defeat the
operation of the railroad commis
sion law and sustain the appoint

recognize the bonds of the com
missioners elected by the legisla
ture. The governor has, through
out his whole administration, laid
himself liabla to the severe criti
cism of every intelligent man in
the state, but this last idea of his
puts the climax on a series of fol
lies which stand probably without
a parallel in modern times and
brands him as a very small man
although a very great egotist.
