There is more unconscious humor
to the square iach in the comma box

newspaper announces the erection of a

ABOUT HIGH LICENSE.
The indorsement given to the sys
tem of high license as a practical plan
for reducing the evil of intemperance.
by the dignitaries of the Catholic
church at Baltimore stamps that sys
tem with an unexpected but very po
tent approval The authorities of this
greatest of Christian sects do nothing
blindly, are controlled by no wave of
enthusiasm and try no experiments in
uiicharted ways of social reform. The
Catholic church, therefore, makes few
mistakes in the practical wisdom of the
policies which it adopts and when it
comes out squarely in favor of high
license as its favorite method for aiding
the cause of temperance, that system
has at once a powerful ally and de
fender.
The resolutions adopted at a mass
meeting presided over by Cardinal
Gibbons show the care which the
churchmen of this sect have given to
the study of the subject In a few
sentences the whole method and his.
tory of high license are given and the
way for its practical enforcement

license was the only feasible and
peaceful means of exterminating the
de'uge of vices and crimes of which
drunkenness is a fruitful source. The
license should be put so high as to
make it practically prohibitory as re

Certain restrictions should be enacted

given only to persons of tried character.
Only the blindest kind of radicals

object to the application in a corr.mnity

THE O. R. $ Jf.
The Oregon Railway and Navigation
company, now known as the Pacific
division of the Union Pacific railway
company, was incorporated on June
12, 1879. The capital stock was
placed at $6,000,000, and the incor
porators were Henry Villard, A. H.
Holmes, J. B. Fry, C. Bors, W. H '
Starbuck, C. E. Bretherston, H. W.
Corbett, C N. Levis, J. N. Dolph,
N. Theilson and Paul Schulze.
Now, 1889, this company has about
thirty river steamers, which are valued
at about $650,000: four ocean steamers
plying between Portland and San
Francisco, their total value being near
$660,000. Their railway line has an
enormous amount of money invested
in its construction and equipage, and
the traffic of the Columbia river is
practically controled by them. No
corporation in the country has made
more money on the actual capital in
vested, or has a better record in safely
carrying passengers, on ocean rail, or
river, than tho O. R. & N.
In regard to the report about the
extension of the west side 'from Cor
vallis to Junction, the superintendent
Mr. Brandt, thinks "there 's nothing in
it" Of course, he knows (1) all abou

The purity of the ballot k the only
safeguard for the perpetuity of republi

he is exercising an influence for the
general welfare of the state or nation
he at once becomes an interested party
in the administration of the affairs of
his country.
Each time a 110-ton gun is fired,

has so many states, since the trigi

admitted during the first eleven
days of November, 1889.
