THE GRAND OLD MAJV.
One of the grandest figures of
modern times is the great leader of the
English Liberals, Gladstone. He is
bow nearly eighty years old, active,
rigorous, intellectual and aggressive.
His reading and study have been a
general that he seems informed on
almost any subject
ChauncyM. Depew recently hail an
interview with Gladstone, and said
that every suhject talked about seem
ed to be his specialty, so wide and ',
general is his information. He is one
of the few very prominent men who
has had the courage to change his atti
tude towards great public questions
and acknowledge his mistakes in for
mer opinions. He has finally con
fessed bis mistakes of opinion about
America, and now expresses his
pleasure in knowing that he was mis
taken. Intellectually he may not be
superior to Bismarck, but his powers
are used more in the interest of pro
gress and the elevation of the oppress
ed than the great. German who seems
devoted to German imperialism. Both
are great- men whose places it will be
very difficult to fill when they pass
away.
SEVEN HUNDRED MILLIONAIRES.
In the number of men possessing
most extraordinary wealth America
. takes the lead. In a recent French
publication dealing with the subject
twelve men are selected as the richest
in the world, from a financial stand
point, of course. Of this number
seven aire Americans. Their names
are Jay Gonld, Mackay, C. Vander
bilt, J. P. Jones, Astor, Stewart and
J. G. Bennett. The other five include
the English Dukes, Westminister,
Southeiland, and Noi thmuberland,
Marquis Bute and Rothschild. .
In all ft is shown that the world
contains but 700 men'entitled to be
: called millionaires, and the distribution
of this number over the face of the
earth is e interest England leads
with 200 men possessed of $5,000,000
each; the United States takes second
place with one even hundred; Germany
and Austria, together have 100; France,
75; Russia and the Indies each 50;
and all the rest of the world 125.
No doubt we all think It is a shame,
- as indeed ft is, that so much of the
riches of toe. world should be held by
so few, and yet, how many of ' us are
' there that would not like to be one of
the 7001 '
THITOREGON PACIFIC.
The Oregonian of the 27th inst.,
editorialy, says: The statement made
by some one, who was either too care
less to become informed or who m-
tentionally falsified, that work had
been stopped on the Oregon Pacific
railroad, which statement was quickly
denounced as untrue and without any
foundation whatever, has again called
no inconsiderable attention to this
road. From its very location alone it
cannot be otherwise than a great factor
in the development of Oregon, and,
more especially, of that portion lying
east of the Cascade range. , It will
disect the state, and for a great portion
of toe distance across this common
wealth it will be without a: competitor
for the business which alreadyK:awaits
its completion, and for ..that vastly
greater volume which will accrue when
sections now isolated are, by means of
transportation facilities, opened up to
settlement. Not much has . been said
of the renewed activity in the building
of the extension across the mountains
and through eastern Oregon; but the
preliminary surveys have been com
. pleted, a contract of some magnitude
has been awarded upon which work is
now being pushed with all possible
energy, and representatives of two or
three other contracting firms are now
' at the front figuring upon many more
miles of cuts, fills, bridges, eta, which
still Temain to be built. All this is
evidence sufficient that the $5,000,000
raised last spring by the company upon
its bonds in New York, have been
made available for immediate construc
tion. The future of the Oregon Pa
cific is no longer a matter of con
jecture. Its success is assured beyond
preadventure. For several years its
management has struggled againsj
! failures and disappointments, never
losing faith in the greatness ot the en
terprise which it wai fostering, and
now comes the keen satisfaction of
being able to show to the most pessi
mistic doubter the great possbilities
which are plainly before it
A great section of the country
already too long isolated from the
paths of commerce, though possess
ing vast resources, lies between the
Columbia liver and the California
line, and the Cascades and the O. R.
fe N. road. With the exception ot
the branch line into Heppner built by j
the last mentioned company, this vast
area of our state, embracing many
thousand square miles, is without
transportation facilities other than
those of the most primitive character,
at the best only the packsaddle or the
lumber wagon. It is scarcely possi
ble to realize the wealth of this isolated
inland country. The hardy pioneers
who so far from its population have
little time to spread before the outer
world a knowledge of their valuable
surroundings. Fi.r from the maits of
trade, it requires unceasing labor on
their part to establish themselves in
comfortable competencies.
Occasionally we read of great min
eral deposits too far away from a rail
road to be developed, sections of land
which would yield fine crops which it
were no use to raise .for lack of a
market, and also of greatness, of the
two principal industries of this region,
wool growing and stock raising, in
both of which money can be made de
spite the obstacles which we have
noted. "
How much more prosperous then
will be the people of this region, how
much more- extensive will become
their present resources and how rapidly
will they increase in number, when a
railroad pierces the very heart of this
unknown land, so unknown, indeed,
that but recently so great a paper as
the Scientific American characterizes it
as 'a vast, sterile, unproductive plain."
Every benebt which should accrue
to the ra'lroad which does so much for
this country will be reaped by the
Oreaon Pacific ' If there were no
other aim in its construction than to de
velop central Oregon, the road would
be a financial success, as well as a pub
lic benefit. But we do not-lose sight
of the factthitt the bonds of this road,
upon which the $5;000,000 for further
construction were raised, were guaran
teed by men well known in the financial
world, men whose names are promi
nently connected with the Chicago &
Northwestern, a road that has aspira
tions to be a transcontinental line, and
whose connection with the Oiegon
Pacific at Boise City will accomplish
the desired end.-
The improvement of Yaquina bay,
for which congress has keen so ardently
and so successfully importuned in the
past, will also accrue to the benefit
equally of the people of the state and
of the stockholders of these tvo rail
roads. The management of the Oregon
Pacific has worked continually for this
improvement, and pending its com
pletion has not pushed the construction
of tue-extension of the road so rapidly
as otherwise it would have done. To
make the operation of this road a com
plete success requires a harbor at the
western terminus of the road, ' where
deep sea vessels can come and go with
out delay of any kind. By the time
this is accomplished the railroad will
be built, and Oregon will have another
shipping.point for her rapidly increas
ing productions.
"A, gentleman from Iowa with $50,000
in hLi pocket, visited Pendleton the other
day and intimated that be would have en
gaged in business there had the town not
looked so ragged and out of order, and so
he held onto his wallet and invested it at
Walla Walla. Take warning, oil ye rag
ged towns!" says an ex. Will this apply
to Corvallis.
Barrum & Bailey's circus and menagerie
will sail for England in October for a winter

required, and the cost of voyage to and fro
will be about $500,000.

I am coinz to tell you of the extraordi

formed on me. About the 1st ot April last
I noticed some red pimples like coining out
all over my body, but thought nothing of
it until some time later on. when it began
to look like spots of mortar spotted on,, and
which came off in layers, accompanied with
itching. I would scratch every night until
I was raw. then the next night the scales
being formed meanwhile, were scratched off
again. Ia vain did I consult' all the doctors
in the country, but without aid.- After
giving np all hopes of recovery, I happened
to see an advertisement in the newspaper
about v:ur CuncuBA Kemedies, aud pur
chased them from my druggist, and obtained
almost immediate relief. X began to no
tice that, the scaly eruptions gradually
dropped on and disappeared one by one,
and have been fully cured. I had the
disease thirteen months before . I b'egau
taking the Cuticura Remkdies, and in fonr
or five weeks was entirely cured. My
disease was eczema and psoriasis. 1 ree-
comtneuded the Cuticura Rkmedies to all
in my vicinity, and I know of a great many
who have taken them, and thank me for the
knowledge ot them, especially mothers who
have babes with scaly eruptions on tbeir
beads and bodies. 1 cannot express in
words the thanks to ' yon for what the
Cuticura Remedies have been to me. My
body was covered with scales, and I was an
awful spectacle to behold. ."Now my skin
