VI LL.11WS EISE AND FALL-
The cities of Oregon and Washing
ton Teiritoiy liave for the past month
l;en much excited over certain rail
way elections, in which were involved
the success or failure of a great finan
cier. The issue was whether Henry
Villard would resume his control of
the railroad interests of the northwest,
from which a Wall-street combination
fiii-ced him a few years ago. The re
si.'t is liis triumph over the enemies
who liave aimed at bis ruin, lhe
B-uondary consequence will bo the
development of the country touched
ly the Northern Pacific and its feeding
linos. This means prosperity for
Portland and Tncoma and the com.
riiorcial centres of the northwest goner
,a:Iy. It is interesting to trace the rise and
i 11 and rise again of Henry Villard
lie is of Bavarian extraction and
liirth, and came to the United States
in 1853, a boy of 18 in search of a
fortune. For nearly twenty years he
followed the vocation of a newspaper
correspondent It was in 1870 that
.his thoughts and efforts .first drifted
into railroad speculation. In 1S73 he
vnt to Germany for his health, and.
tii jre succeeded in influencing German
Capitalists to invest in American se
c.irities. Returning a year later he
began h'13 labors for th . con-
.tiiifnfal railway. This took him ac
tively into Wail street, whore he soon
acquired a reputation for far-reaching
deals in bonds and stock. He builded
his gruat railway pr ject at both ends
and fiually succeeded in completing
the Northern Pacific railway in 1883.
His success seemed then assured, but
the "bears"of the New York stock
market, under the direction of the
o wners of the Central Pacific, suddenly
organized an attack upon the securities
of his allied companies and accom
plished his financial overthrow. Villard
was obliged to sacrifice his vast estate
and resign from the preidsicy of the
Jfonhern Pacific.
He went to Europe a ruined man,
but with a personality and will set
about the repair of his shattered
fortunes. Hh again organized his
original Gprman backers, and in 188G
returned to New York with means at
bis command. The last three years
lie has sxent in fihtinr his wav to h
1 o j
position he was forced to vacate a few
years before. This feat f financial
genius he has just performed. By the
elections of late Villard again assumed
control of the Northern Pacific rail
way. BENEFIT OF EX AGO ERA 7TO.V.

As the authenticated details of the
recent disasters in Johnstown and
"4 .ill s i .
oeauie oeconie sutea out ot tne mass
ot rumors, it is found that the loss of
life and property in both places was
"considerably overstated. The renorts
of atrocities are also found to he in the
inain baseless. Only one life was lost
in the Seattle fire; only one robber
Vis lynched at Johnstovn for despoil
ing the dead.
These exaggerated reports, though
happily baseless, . served an excellent
purpose, says an exchange. They as
sisted the truth in awakening that en
thusiasm which rushed from heart to

pocaei ana city ro village all over tne
country. The truth concerning the
losses by fire and flood was terrible
' but that its recital, unattended with
the fictions, would have drawn the
response which has been made may
' frell be doubted.
There are some cold pietists who
decry fiction 'and would banish, from
literature all that lives in the imagina
tion only. Let such consider' the
prfect of- these overestimates of the
horrors of the two disasters and admit
for once that fiction, bas its uses in the

road nearly to the summit of that range
of mountains, making &rxty miles of com
pleted road east of Albany, or about

to be already four miles of road completed
at the summit by the company. It is said

enough laying in San Francisno for twenty

Go Way Cjiil'. Here is a yarn about
the incorrigible small boy, that was related
to the editor yesterday. An Albany woman
was telling a Corvallis woman who was
visiting iu this city of the rapidity with
which rents were shooting skyward in
Albany. The Corvallis woman, not to be
out done, after listening a while began to
tell of the Corvallis rent. 1 hen her small
son interrupted her, just as she had tiuished
telling whatidivpaid per month in Corvallis,
by remarking: W hy, that wasn t for a
month, mammn; that w8 for a day." Both
the women laughed at the boy's idea, but
the little fellow krpt right on ami paralyzed
his mother by adding: It must have been
for a day, any way, because the man used
to come every day for the rent." Report
snys the C.rvailis woman hurridly moved
to indefinitely postpone the whole subject
