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.

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,

has come and gone, and it is a
pleasure to note that it was universally-
observed- in Benton

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.

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,

man will be required to punch a
clock contrivance, located at four
different places on his beat, every

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-.

planting .an orchard will never

If Oregon' convicts could be
employed in building roads that
problem would reach solution, no
doubt. " The convict lease sj'stem

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
