S M CAR BUILDING ON THIS COAST. The Png?t Sound Lumberman claims to be in possession of data leading to the belief that several of the larger car building plants iu the United States will soon be located on the sound. A prom inent lumberman lately made the declaration that he firmly believed that within the next ten years nearly all the box, flat and stock cars used in the country will be manufactured on the north Pacific coast The hindrances" to the planting of the industry in that region have been a lack of fuel and material for making wheels; but recently eastern capUalists and railway men have examined the resources of the country in these respects, andean now see their way to obtain such supplies. The fuel question has been solved lay the Wilkeson Coke company, which is now turning out as good coke as can be obtained anywhere. The American Foundry company atTacoma, by mixing scrap iron with British Columbia ore, has demonstrated what can be done off the coast in the matter of mak ing car wheels, for car builders declare that the wheels thus turned out are as good as as any made in the country, further more, iron ore can be obtained in - "Washington that is equal or supe rior to that mined in British Co lumbia. Such ore abounds in vast deposits in the Ce-EIuni range, owned by (he Tacific Ira ; rovement company, a corpora ' tion composed of Scotch capital ists. It is probable tht the com pany. will erect a large blast fur nace within the coming year. Scientific American. Mr. Cleveland's position is in one" sense an exceptionally hard one. He was elected by a com lunation of three political el e: inents by the old line democrats, -' the Tammanyites . and the mug wumps. Between these several - political forces there are no points of,sympa,hy or affinity, luey are a wide apart in views, motives, habits and tastes as the Hindu castes. They hate each other with a holy hatred. Elements divided Id ke these may sometimes be or- V ganized for a political fight, but they can never be brought into cordial, and continual support of an administration. If Mr. Cleve land shall administer his office on reform - lines, he will please his , mugwump friends, but will antag onize the bulk of his support, who are quite of another color. If, on the other hand, he shall undertake to satisfy Tammany, he will offend ' the mugwumps and disgust the ountry. There is no middle road. Mr. Cleveland must choose either one; or the other horn of the dilemma, and in either event he in certain to have a fight . on his hands. He laces, therefore, the most serious problem which has confronted any president since Lincoln, without the strength ' which a united party support ' would give him. It will be no small job to carry out the pledges of the democratic platform, and it would not be surprising if Mr, Cleveland should break down in the attempt -Pacific Rural Press, ' Oncb more . Thanksgiving day has come and gone, and it is a pleasure to note that it was universally- observed- in Benton county. As a day of universa! ; reverence, and a national holiday . in a certain way, it is now duly recognized throughout the laud If is notably a day of religious observance, feasting and given up to deeds of charity. This is a day ' when peace and plenty are appre eiated by the multitude and their hearts are lifted up to rejoice and a spirit of thankfulness and con tentment prevails. It is a time when the souls of the . people are stirred with charitable impulses and the poverty-stricken and ' afflicted are remembered with sub - stantial gifts. The world is better . for a proper observance of this day and it-will continue to be one of the great days of the American ; people. The Chicago Post, democratic, apparently thinks win. C. .Whit ney should be secretary of state. As the representative ot tne iarg est monopoly in : the . country, the (Standard Oil trust, the farmers and workincmeu who have voted this year with the democrats would be highly delighted at his Demg given the chief place m Cleveland's cao - inet, of course. ' ' ' 15 San Francisco the once cele brated fish, German carp, is ad judged a curse, "and the entire trade has been given to the Chi- Statesman. BADLY NEEDED. Our next legislature should do something of and concerning our penitentiary system. In the - lit tle state of South Carolina, the superintendent reports that the management has not only paid all expenses but made a clear profit of $40,000. Now why can't we do at least twice as much. But if nothing else is done, the convicts could be made to work upon the state roads and be of incalculable benefit to the people. Any change would be better than the shame ful slavery of the stove contract and the extravagant; folly of the whole business. Why does not Portland secure a body of these convicts to work on her streets? There are a hundred ways of con ducting the penitentiary, any one of them an improvement on the present antiquated administration. . During the past week-an import ant case on the criminal docket Of the circuit court has been dis posed of. Is. IV Prescott, of Alsea bay, was arrested last June on the complaint of Miss Aldrich, who al leged that he had forcibly ravished her person. He was tried before the justice court, and was bound over to ' await the action of the grand jury. Mr. Prescott is a man of family, of good repute among his neighbors.. There was no evidence against him other than the state ment of Miss Aldrich, and it was evident that the prosecution was actuated by sinister motives. Nevertheless the grand jury found a "true bill," and the prosecution pressed their claims vigbrousfy at uie m j. Alio uuso aiiiauieu wiue attention on account of-, the enor mity of the offense, but an intelli gent jury of prominent citizens re turned a verdict of "hot guilty." And from the lacts adduced iu the testimony they were justified iu doing so. ihis was a case of ei tner malicious prosecution or blackmail, aud the taxpayers of the county will have to foot the bill of costs,, and . howl because things are as they are. There have been other tidal waves in presidential elections since 1824. In 1828, Andrew Jackson received 218 electoral votes against 4G for Henry Clay, 11 for John Jbloyd and 7 lor Wui Wirt. In 1840 General Harrison, who had been defeated by van Buren, in 183G, earned the coun try by 234 against GO for Van Buren, who sought' re-election. In 1852 Pierce was elected by 254 votes against 42 tor General Win- field Scott. -In 18G4 Lincoln re ceived 212 votes; McClellan only 21. . In 1 868 General Graut car ried the country by " 214 votes against 80 for Horatio " Seymour, In 1872 he had almost a walk over as well. The Oregon state reform school canuot reform boys as fast as they are sent, and the institution is full to overflowing. It was originally built lor thirty inmates, but there are at present seventy educating each, other within its walls. It would be better if parents could use more of the discipline required iu compelling the boys to stay at home nights than to allow youths of tender age to get beyond their control. A reform school, where several unruly boys are herded together may not turn out to be a "howling-success" in the matter of reform. The great Homestead strike has been declared off by the amalgam aled association. Thirty-five lives have been lost as a result of the strike and thousanls of ; dollars hav been lost by the employers as well as the strikers on Account of closing down the works. Many failures. in business are reported among merchants and small deal ers in that vicinity since the be ginning of the strike. CoRVAixis is now prepared to put on metropolitan airs. But unlike the Portland night patrol policeman, who. sends in a signal every half hour to headquarters, to Jet them know that he is on duty, the Corvallis night watch man will be required to punch a clock contrivance, located at four different places on his beat, every hour. r - . .- One of the humors of the can vass has just : been reported from Illinois. An orator of that state. after shouting, himself hoarse against the Force bill, bad to sleep in his hen house because his wife would not let him in after 10 o'clock at night: As a , champion of the rights of local self-govern ment he would hardly be effective if woman suffrage prevailed. Ex. An exchange , says: "It is worth noting that amid all the comments on the unexpected re sults of the election, nobody either democrat or republican attributes any fault or blame to Harrison's administration. :: -'' 1 v ' Tbe number of Washington democrats who think themselves fitted to govern Alaska is amazing, says, the Post-Intelligencer. A POLITICAL PUZZLE Hon. LaFayette Lane is consid erably bothered over a political puzzle, as it were. It is a well known fact that Mr. Lane was bit terly opposed to the fusion busi ness before election. In Roseburg there were- seventy-seven - straight democratic votes cast. , Since it has been ascertained that fusion failed to succeed, Mr. Lane has been congratulated by over two hundred persons, who stated that they also had voted the straight democratic ticket. The query is, what became of the extra one hun dred and twenty-three votes? Had Weaver carried the stat9 it is quite probable that Mr. Lane would have lound it an equally difficult problem to find seventy-seven men who voted a straight democratic ticket. Roseburg Plaiiidealer. We hasten to suggest that Henri "Watterson, of Ken tucky, be made a -member . of President Cleveland's cabinet. He represented" the bold, aggres sive spirit that carried this elec tion, besides he is a veteran journ alist and the press is entitled to recognition. We are in hopes that invested with the responsibil ities of high office Mr.- Watterson will become conservative and fol low the teachings of Henry Clay, who ' if he could, would have eradicated slavery from Kentucky and made her a great industrial slate. Astorian. Thb prosaic following of street car driving is to be no longer de spised. The possibilities of the streetcar driver are great. The Corvallis boy who -ploddingly whips up the horse that draws a bob-tail car, may become a great governor like Pennoyer. All this has been demonstrated by the re cently discovered fact that , the newly elected governor of Wash ington was once a common, every day 6lreet car - driver . in; San Francisco. " Therk never has been and per haps never will be again a time when fruit trees can be bought as cheaply as at present. Huudreds of men planted peach seeds last year and the year before, onto the slock of which have been grafted prunes so that now there are at the nurseries thousands of young tree-. The man who is contemplating planting .an orchard will never find a better time than the present. Pacific-Farmer. - ' If Oregon' convicts could be employed in building roads that problem would reach solution, no doubt. " The convict lease sj'stem seems to be .unsatisfactory gener ally, but the trouble- will appear as usual iu formulating a new law that will prove satisfactory. Everyone will : admit, however, that Oregon's four hundred could be em ployed to good ad van tage on the highways. Statesman. - The directors of the world's fair by a vole of 26 to 4, have put themselves upon record as, favoiv ing its opening on Sunday. A 6trong effort will be made in con gress this'winter to reverse the ac tion of that body last spring. , 1 Euuope is having another scare. The "Black Death," which broke out in Turkestan last year, is mov ing westward in the track of the cholera, and threatens to invade Europe next summer. . ' -? - - , A cokvict in Illinois is reported to have invented a machine by which a man can be shaved in twenty-five seconds. This may be another step in civilization but it sounds barbarous. Erastus T. Beadle the Beadle of dime -: novel fame has been elected to congress from one of the New .York districts. , Tammany's literary capacity is not above the dime novel level. ; - The Second and Madison street improvement has been accepted by the city' council, and . the next thing required is for the property owners along said streets to pay their assessments. Befobe-the-bession-talk is al ready current. One slate has Edw. " Hirsch for president of the senate and another has Hon. T. T. Greer for speaker of the house. Statesman. - - An exchange . savs: "Demo crats are now betting that four months from Cleveland's inaugura tion the national banks will bn closed. Of course they will July 4th. It is a peculiar fact that in the late campaign there were 4 tickets in the, field in .44 states, and 444 electoral .votes. .

A PAPER WORTH HAVING. . .The old saying that "nothing' succeeds like success," ia -well illustrated by the ca reer of the Rural Northwest, .which was founded iu Portland, Oregon, a little over a year ago, and has already established itself as the leading agricultural paper of the Pa cifie northwest. . It is hardly necessary to say that the success of thin paper is simply the result of merit. It is no cheap concern made up of stereotype plates and stale clip pings, hat is bright, crisp and clear, filled with original matter which hits the condi tions that exist iu the PaciSc uoithwest. Among fruit growers it is an especial favor ite, as it makes horticulture a leading fea ture, and gives the bust aud fullest reports published of the meetings of the sUta horti cultural societies of. Oregon "and Washing ton, and includes among its regular contrib utors in this department such men as Prof. Lake, of the Washington agricultural col lege; Prof. Washburn, of the Oregon agri cultural college. A. T. Hawley aud others of eminent ability. The dairy department is maintained with no less .vigor, as indi cated by the fact that its editor, II. M. Wil liamson, holds the position of secretary of the of the Oregou State Dairy Association. Live stock'and poultry are not neglecte I, and progressive agriculture is the spirit which animates the geueral management of the paper. Among special features are its depart ments devoted to the "Home Circle" and '.Among the Farmers." Tbe latter depart ment is very popular and a special feature with this paper. One of the peculiar merits of the Rcral Northwest is that everything is treated from the practical standpoint of the produ cer. - This handsome 16-page pip r, pub lished twice a month, is a paper well worth for Infants "Castorlals so wen adapted to cUMren that I recommend Itas superior to any prescription known to me."
