A dispatch from New York dated March 10th, said: A fight is going on for the possession of the books of the Oregon Pacific. Jtfarcb 4th, T. Egenton Hogg, of New York, was displaced as re ceiver of the property by J udge Fullerton, of the circuit court of Oregon, and Everest W. Hadley, of Oorvallis, Oregon, appointed in his place. The papers in the mat ter, officially certified, have not as yet arrived here. Fearing the books would be ent: out of the tate, the bondholders' committee, who procured the removal of Hogg to-day, through Lawyers Parrish and Pendleton, sued out a writ of replevin and had the sheriff put ia charge of the office at 45 Willamette street. Mr. Hogg thereupon obtained an order from the supreme court of New York permitting him to recover posession of the office. The sheriff eas not completed his inventory of the books and papers, aud un til he does the opposition to Mr. Hogg will control the situation. Other legal moves are expected. Practical tests for storage bat teries have not proven satisfacto ry. A few days ago there was hipped from Philadelphia to WaHhington a large consignment of horses ordered by the president of the Eckington and Soldiers' Home Passenger Railway Oompa j, a line jon which the storage battery system has been in oper atioo. In explanation of his ac &oa he wrote that the storage bat tery or accumulator 6ystem was ui absolute and complete failure, and in order to be protected against a stoppage of traffic on in auguration day it would be neces sary for him to go back to horses 9M motive power. Similar news jomes from Chicago. President Yerkei, head of the passenger railway company which has been experimenting with the Love un derground conduit trolley, has fi Bjklly abandoned it, the system at -a ' ' w . J 1 having proved a complete iauure. Ok by one the patents cover , tog telephone rights are expiring. At midnight February 21st the jsiafc transmitter, wiucn receives tk speech and transmits it over t!ia wire, became the nropertv of t&M public after many years' exclu Hire sontrol by the American Bell telephone company. The other fi&yr the end of the main patent on the telephone that is issued to Alex, Graham Bell, and -which covered tbe fundamental patent on the telephone the transmission of speech electrically over wire. At the same time the patent first is sued on the receiver will expire, though a second patent was grant- 1877 and that has until January $ 0th of next year to run. Tubes is a good deal of criti cism oa the custom of appropri ating so much money to the ;horao race" so called feature of tie state agricultural society. The most of it comes,' it is notice able, from papers from Marion county. The Gervais Star bucks about it like a bay steer. The JSilverton Tribune amiably smooths it down about right when it says : ' Better quality in stock and in the : products of the farm should be oae object of any board of agri culture. Betterbutter, better po tatoes, better apples, better every thingthat is our idea. Make the races a side issue, not the main one. Then our farmers will be Tsatisfied." .. Two measures which may be - productive of good results, were passed by both the Oregon and Washington legislature. One is the ten-year installment plan for paying for 6treet improvements, and the other is the single assess ment i roll and the collection of -' all taxes ' by one collector in each cottnty.: Both of these measures are in the interest of reform and material progress. Again Boston has been swept by a fearful conflagration. It cost its victims over four and a half millions of dollars, and some thirty lives. The scenes it produced were appalling, though not by any means new. Human beings were cooped up in six and seventh stories, with no fire escapes and but inadequate appliances for res cue. Some hurled themselves frantically' to the pavements, to death or wofully mangled; others were swallowed up in the. fiery maelstrom and went down in the fearful crash. In all the large cities thousands of men, women and even children must work high above ground for their daily bread. While the craze for such great sky towers as they are now building is all the rage, little thought seems to be given to the humane feature, of making them at least tolerably safe for the swarms of humanity whom they subject to the horrible disasters of fire. In this the own ers are not only soulless monsters but thev are criminals. The country is full of men who would plant the ground full of ctynamite if the 6t uff would grow crops, so they could speculate on it and let the world take its chances on get ting blown to kingdom come in the mean time. Of the same dis position are the death-trap build ers, ine state ought to watcii such chaps and tear down their Babelonish rookeries as fast as they stick them up. It is reported that Cleveland will be iu no hurry to appoint the Oregon democrats who are waiting nervously on the anxious seat for positions. It is evident that they will have to wait awhile before they are organized. It is stated that the president will allow Ore gon democrats to make applica lions whenever they please, and that he will appoint whoever he desires, and whenever he is good and ready. It is. also noticeable that all democrats who now visit Washington from Oregon are pro nounced anti-silver men. No mat ter what their doctrines have been in the past, they now agree that Cleveland's idea of finance is just what the country needs. Pen- noyer democrats, or those endorsed by the erratic governor, are said not to be in it, and it is becoming evident that the official aspirants will have to bide their time. The S. F. Examiner bitterly complains that no effort is made by the people of San Francisco and California to secure the con struction aud terminals of com pleting lines of trans-continental railways. While the northwest in cluding Oregon and Puget sound is already the terminals of several competing lines of railroads, com pleted and in course of construc tion, San Francisco is virtually at the mercy of a great monopoly. The people of that section have never encouraged new trans con tinental lines, nor offered them inducements in the way of ternii nal facilities, as have the people of the Northwest Pacifio states. With Yaquina bay as the probable terminus of a trans-continental railroad, with three or more lines centering at Portland, Oregon will possess superior advantages as a commercial center, aided by competing lines of transportation. Fbom the way new business houses are opening up in Coral lis, it is evident that there will be lively times in this section during the coming season. Oorvallis is more than holding its own with any city in the valley in the way of substantial improvements VVnile Uorvallis was compara tively dull during the past winter, other cities were more so. More new buildings were constructed in this city during the year 1892, than in any city south of Portland. This is no idle boast, but a solid fact President Cleveland evidently received information of the awful struggle for office in Oregon and to avoid trouble for , himself quietly announced that Senator Vilas would attend to distribu ting: the loaves and fishes in the webfoot state. The senator will soon realize the delicacy of I113 position, as the , horde of office seekers are . preparing to swoop down upon him. If he survives the siege he will have good cause for congratulation. Mercury. The Washington legislature, following in the wake of Montana and Wyoming, adjourned with out electing a United States sen ator, thus throwing their destinies upon the doubtful fate of an ap pointment to the position. Gov vernor McGraw, of course appoint ed his man Friday, Senator Allen. It is very doubtful about the sen ate seatiuz anv such aDDoint mentees. the precedent is against it. The senate has always held that a governor had the right to appoint in case of a vacancy prior to the meeting of the state legisla ture, and that after the legislature had met the election of senator laid with them, and if they failed the governor could not appoint, but the election must go over to the next session, or a called ses sion for that purpose. The silver output of Colorado was iucreased last year by 3,000, 000 ounces, in spite of the low price of the metal, owing to the discovery of new mines in which large quantities of silver are pro duced at a very low cost. The most profitable of these mines are at Creede. Recent reports from the Creede district show that the shipments of ore from these mines :e larger than ever. The value of the ore shipped from Creede in February is estimated to have been $850,000. If production shall continue at this rate, the output of this camp will be very much larger this year than it was iu 1892. The low price of silver has no effect upon the production of the metal in mines where Ihe cost ranges between 15 and 40 cents an ounce. Notwithstanding the fact that over one half of the original ter ritory of Benton county has been formed into the new county of Lincoln, there are not offices enough to go around. Only last Monday night there were ten ap plications to the city council for the position of night policeman in Oorvallis. Evidently the hanker ing for office is great in this city. Fisn warden McGuire goes at his duties as if he means business. He has had nearly every fish dealer in Portland prosecuted for selling salmon during the "close" season. The cases will go to the supreme court on appeal. They claim the fish was placed on cold storage before the 1st of March, and they had a right to sell it Whether they had or not remains for the court to decide. The Chicago Mail estimates the number of outside visitors to the fair at 3,000,000. This is modest and well within the mark. It is true that the inhabitants of the city in which an exposition is held are the most liberal patrons of a show of this kind, but Chicago is surrounded by a comparatively densely settled country, whose people can reach Jackson Park almost as cheaply as the citizens of the Lake City. Under the cir cumstances it will not be surpris ing if the outside patronage great ly exceeds the estimate of the Mail, as it will have to it the san guine expectations of the managers who count upon at least 25,000, 000 entrances are realized. days the Uregonian: Oregon is to have two national parks located within her borders, one at Mount Hood and one at Crater lake. If she is wise she will never ask congress to turn them over to state control, and if ever so fool ish as to make such a request, it is to be hoped her petition, will be resolutely denied. The time is coming soon when Mount Hood will annually be visited by thous ands of pleasure 6eekers. A rail road will lead to it, hotels will be built, and facilities provided for ascending its 6nowy slopes. From the number of bids re ceived by the police judge for the water bonds of Corvallis at a lib eral rate of premium, it is flatter ing to note that our municipal paper is in demand in the money markets of the east. - ; ' "Rough on Regents,'! was a suggestive head line in a recent number of the Pullman Herald, in regard to the way an investiga tion of the Washington agricul tural college row shook up a num ber of regents on its board. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, March 6, 1893. The republican party has turned the government in all its depart ments, except the judicial, over to the democratic party, in accord ance with the verdict rendered at the polls last November, and it can now afford to calmly await the result, hoping for the best, and prepared to admit that it was wrong it the new congress and ad ministration can carry out the platform adopted by the last na tional conventiou of the democratic parly without causing a serious shock to the commercial and in dustrial interests of the couhlrv. But it is already apparent that the pledges of the democratic plat- j form will not be carried out, cer- 1 lainly not 1 he one relating to the tariff. There will be no tariff smashing; only a slight shake up. Mr. Cleveland s inauguration was quite a freezing affair, icicles were more plentiful than enthusi asm. Seats on the street stands which were intended to be filled with people at from $1 to $5 a head were covered by two or three inches of snow, and swept by cold north-west winds, which gave the participants in the parade a stiff and half-frozen appearance. The only real enthusiasm your correspondent saw displayed dur ing the day was aroused in the southern contingent, which it is needless to .ay was numerous, by the appearance of General Fitz. Lee, of Virginia, who commanded one of the divisions. That enthu siasm was particularly boisterous when Mr. Cleveland nearly bent himself double to return the haughty bow which was given him by the proud Lee as he rode past the presidential reviewing stand. Gen. Harrison took Mr. Cleve land from the white house to the capitol and back again in his car- age, but he declined accompany ing Mr. Cleveland upon the re viewing stand, because, for one reason, he had a previous engage ment to attend a farewell dinner given to himseil and the members of his cabinet and their family by ex-Postmaster General Wanna maker, at the close of which he took a special train for Indianapo lis. It is perhaps true also that Mr. Harrison being human, like the rest of us, had not forgotten that Mr. Cleveland declined to stand with him upon the review ing stand on March 4, 1889. There is one sentence in the president's inaugural address that has carried consternation into the ranks of the office seekers, who are more numerous in Washington than ever before. The langauge is emphatic, and they have taken, it as intended to be personal to them, as it doubtless was. Fol lowing is the sentence referred to, which is as interesting to demo cratic office seekers iu your sec tion as to those here to present their claims in person: "One mode of the misappropriation of public funds is avoided when appoint ments to office, instead of being the rewards of partisan activity, are awarded to those whose effi ciency promises a fair return of work for the compensation paid them. To secure the fitness and competency of appointees to office and to remove from political action the demoralizing madness for spoils, civil service reform has found a place in our public policy and laws." One of the direct re sults of this plain talk was the de termination of the Tammany bos pes, before they left Washington, that no Tammany man should be come an applicant for a federal of fice, although they stand prepared to furnish men to fill as many of fices as Mr. Cleveland may offer them, but they must be offered without being asked for say the bosses. I have it on good authority that the issue of bonds, which Mr. Har rison stood out so manfully against, will be an accomplished fact just as soon as the new administration can find a reasonable excuse, and that will not be difficult to manu facture, with the aid of those who for personal reasons want the bonds issued. Senator Stanford is naturally very much pleased over having se cured from Gen. Harrison, before he left for Indianapolis, his accept ance of the chair of constitutional law in the Leland Stanford uni versity, of California, which was tendered him as soon as the result of the election was known. The ex-president will deliver his first lecture at the university some time in October. - Some of the regular appropria tion bills had close shaves, and are somewhat bungled, but all of them got through before time was called on the fifty-second congress, and now there is no good reason why an extra 'session of congress should be called, but great pressure .is nevertheless being brought to bear, to bearin favor of one: - ' 'I ,r 1 SenatorSherman is admitted by all to be high authority ; on finan cial matters? hence the importance of his cheering words on the- pres ent situation "There is nothing to indicate a panic so far as I can see. The country is prosperom Pacific Onion Sets Seed Oat3 Fertilisers Seed Potatoes Spring Rye Send for Catalogue (English or German). Special prices to first buyers in new and the gold outflow to Europe is not necessarilly fraught wit h any danger in itself." It is the opinion of many that the unusual demand for gold, which has been kept up for several months, will soon cease now that congress is no longer in session. In the opinion of these gentlemen the demand for gold was manufactured for no other or better purpose than to frijrhten congress into financial legislation. Governor Pennoyer and state Treasuser Metschan left yesterday for eastern Oregon, and will pro ceed to permanently locate the branch insane asylum. The dif ferent localities in 1 hat part of the state are making a vigorous fight to secure this institution, and the prize will not come easy where the site is finally selected. Among the more eager aspirants are Pendleton, Baker City, The Dalles, Union, Eglin, Milton and several others. The Oregon world's fair commis sioners are working like beavers to get a fair showing for the state at the great exposition. Hon. George T. Myers, president of the board, is now in Chicago making preparation for the display. If they are all like Myers, depend upon it the square thing will be done: Koshland Bros., an old, reliable firm of Portland, have failed not so much through their own fault, as by "entanglement with other men." Koshland Bros, are not generally known up this way, but the fact that they got a sraypa thetic word from the Evening Telegram is proof positive that, they are democrats. - It is now conceded that Cleve land is laying his plans for the presidential nomination again three years from now. His treat ment of mugwumps is mentioned as a part of his policy looking , to this end. The Salem Statesman says: The Southern Pacific in refusing unpaid freight from the Northern and Union Pacific railroad com panies at Portland, has livened up river matters to a considerable ex tent. DREADFUL PSORIASIS Covering Entire Body with White Scales. Suffering Fearful. Cored by Cuticura. My disease (psoriasis) first broke out on my left cheek, spreading across my nose, and almost cov ering my face. It ran into my eyes, and the physician was afraid I would lose my eyesight altogether. It spread all over my head, and my aair au leu oat, nntu X was entirely bald-headed; it then broke ont on my arms and shoulders, until my arms were lost one sore. It covered my entire body, my face, head, and shoulders being the worst. The white scabs fell constantly from my head, shoulders, ana arms: the skin would thicken and be red and very itchy, end would crack and bleed If scratched. After spending many hundreds of dollars, I was nronounced incurable.
