THE OREGON PACIFIC.
It seems that a more propitious
time for a 6ale of the Oregon Pa
cific properties than the present,
was never known. The road has
been in litigation for years. Its
line extends from tidewater to a
point only a few miles distant from
the summit of the Cascade moun
tains. Over its whole length the
road is in fair condition. The
alignment, particularly that part
of it east from Corvallis, is excel
lent Tire summit through which
the proposed road will pass, is a
low one and the necessity for a
long and expensive tunnel, as is
usual in crossing a high divide, has
been entirely obviated. From
Portland and other points through
out the Willamette valley this
route is by far the shortest one to
the east. The cost of maintain
ince on this line would be less than
on other trans continental lines,
because tbe grades are lighter and
shorter, and there will be no trou
ble from sand storms, such as have
been a continual source of annoy
ance and expense on tire O. II &
TS.
A potent reason for the early
purchase of the Oregon Pacific,
and a completion of its line to an
eastern connection is the fact that
the O. R. & N.. which has been
operated by the Union Pacific, has
sustained damages by reason of
the recent flood to such an extent
that it is probable the line will be
abandoned. It is claimed that be
-tween Portland and Umatilla the
jroad bed has been nearly ruined
- and that the bridges will all need
rebuilding. This work wili require
an outlay of two or three millions
f dollars. A receiver will be ap
pointed for the company in a lew
days-and it-is hardly fair to pre
sume that the court will authorize
the issuance of receiver's certifi
- eates sufficient to pay for a recon
struction of the road between the
points mentioned. If this con
clusion be a correct one, the road
will be abandoned temporarily, at
least, and for the reason that the
road has been such an expensive
one to maintain and operate, a
- permanent abandonment of it
. alonff the: Columbia river is not
mon
"better advantage-in the
-tion of a new road that would not
:.be subject to overflow, landslides
-and sandstorms. The Northern
Pacific has also -Buffered severe
: loss and its-businesa is now done
IBy -river steamers between Port
land and Kelso, Wash. This has
been a great inconvenience to the
the traveling public and has
caused the mails to be delayed.
The loss to the Canadian Pacific
has als been 6uch as to delay traf
r"fTc and will necessitate the expen-
diture of a vast sum of money
" before the road can again be put
. into operation.
The Oregon Pacific could at this
"time be purchased at a song.
Times are hard, and for that rea--MMi-labor,
supplies and other com
modities could be purchased at
prices much lower than when
. these roads were originally con
. strutted. Work o-n an eastern
extension might be begun at De
troit, so far as labor and supplies
are concerned, at once, and by
: forcing matters, the road could
easily be completed to an eastern
connection within twelve months.
A railroad would then be in op
eration that would not be. both
ered by occassional overflows,
sandstorms, etc., and one that
could be depended upon at all
times for traffic communication
with tho east. Besides being op
erated at less cost than anv other
road terminating in Oregon, it.
- would probably cause a saving in
time of twelve hours between
' Portland and Chicago. This route
would soon develop into a paying
property. With the probable aban
donment of the Oregon RailwuV
and Navigation Company's line
and the long circuitous . routes of
the Northern and Canadian Pa
-ific taken into consideration, the
advantages to be derived through
the early completion of the Ore
fei"7SJn fjwr-i t t h I
r uuuiu uu ciuuiuicu iu iai i
construe- J
gon Pacific, would seem, at this
- particular time, so apparent to
eastern -capitalists, that they
- would be eager to secure control
of the road and complete it with
ut delay.
We suggest that the republicans
elect the one democrat who will
be in the next legislature speaker
of the house, as a mark of re
spect to the late democratic patty
of Oregon, and as a recognition of
the good sense shown by a great
many democrats last Monday in
-helping the republicans to put an
end to Pennoyer's d ng;rous pub
Jic career. Oregon State Journal.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, June 4, 1894.
The democratic senators al
ready deeply regret having allow
ed the two newspaper correspon
dents who declined to tell the
source of the information they
published in connection with the
SHfrar
trust scandal, to even
stand a chance of being indicted
by the grand jury. The corres
pondents would like nothing bet
ter than a trial in court, which
must follow if they are indicted,
as it would enable them to have
witnesses called and made to talk
who would make it plain that
their charges represented only a
small part of the crookedness
which has been going on among
democrats, and who will never be
called by the investigating com
mittee and some of whom would
refuse to answer questions for the
committee if -they were called.
Even with the easy methods of
the investigating committee,
which seems to be largely depen
dent upon volunteer testimony,
the substantial facts in the charges
made by the newspaper men
have been shown to be true. Not
withstanding the copious expla
nations with which the admissions
were accompanied, there is no
getting around the fact that Sena
tor McPherson, of N. J., speculated
in sugar stock and made money
oiit'ol it, nor that the sugar sched
ule in the present tariff bill was
mostly written by Sec. Carlisle.
These facts, as well as that heavy
democratic influence was brought
by agents of the sugar trust to
bear on Representative Warner,
of N. Y., to make him stop work
ing to have sugar put on the free
list, have been testified to by the
men named. This week some
sensational testimony is expected
from the widely -advertised wire
manufacturer. Senator Hill's
resolution for open sessions of the
committee has stirred up the sen
ators, but. it is not probable that,
it will be passed. When the
Credit Mobilier scandal was being
investigated, more than twenty
years ago, i he senate adopted a
resolution instructing the com
mittee, which had been working
behind closed doors, to conduct
the investigation openly, but that
is the only simil r case known.
Senator Manderson, of Nebras
ka, while making an earnest
speech in favor of the continua
tion of the sugar bounty of the
McKinley law, used language that
should be committed to memory
by every member of congress, and
which was all. the more striking
because it followed the cringing
apology .pf Senator Blanchard, of
i-AiiRiana, for supporting-tm Wil
son bilj in the house, with its free
sugar clause, and then, after get
ting in the senate, demanding pro
tection for sugar as the price of
his vote. 'Senator Manderson, af
ter expressing fhe hope that the
selfish protection sentiment of the
Louisiana senator, which proposes
merely to benefit a locality, would
one day grow into a sentimen
broad enough to favor protection
tor all industries, said: "I vote
here, representing a prairie state,
not only for beet sugar and on the
products of the farm, but I vote
for protection to the loom, to the
factory, to the foundry, to the lum
berman and to the miner. I do
not represent on this floor, simply
a part or a whole of the state of
Nebraska. I am a senator of
the United States. And whether
I am in the other house as a rep
resentative or here as a senator,
'no pent up Utica' like district or
like state can cantract my legisla
tive powers."
Democrats are pretending to be
very much surprised because of
ex-Speaker Reed's assertion that
silver and the tariff are questions
which ought to be settled together,
out mere is no occasion tor sur
prise, as the same idea has been
advanced by prominent republi
cans before now. It is well known
that it was entertained by the late
James G. Blaine, and that it was
included in the results he expected
from his reciprocity policy. Sena
tor Lodge in a strong speech
against the tariff bill, took the
ground that the two questions
were closely allied, and Senators
L-ameron and Pettigrew have also
referred to the matter in their tar
iff speeches. So it is nonsense to
pretend that Mr. Reed has made a
new departure to please anybody,
He is traveling in good republi
can footprints, as he usually does.
The democratic senators will be
on pins and needles until they see
tue sugar schedule of the tariff
bill formally adopted, and in order
to hurry up the vote Senator Har
ris has ordered that" the daily
sessions be continued into the
tight. It is probable that a vote
will be reached by the middle of
the week; also, that the schedule
will be adopted, all attempts to
make any serious breaks in the
democratic line having failed,
although more than half of the
democratic senrtors will vote di
rectly against their personal opin
ions when they support the sugar
schedule, but the bargain has been
made and the dose will be swal
lowed.. A report obtained curren
cy a day or two ago that Mr.
Cleveland was about to publicly
repudiate the tariff bargain engi
neered by Gorman and Brice, but
there was no "truth in it, as Mr.
Cleveland has been about as deep
into -the bargaining as either of
the senators.
Thk boasted refinement and ed
ucation of ' Corvallis . people -was
not shown to advantage last Sat

often come to blows in the heat

lent their countenance to
violation of the law, besides evi
dencing a most brutal nature.
Such persons can not rightfully
claim to be peaceable, law-abiding
citizens. It is to be regretted
that in and around Corvailis live
men so devoid of manhood, self
respect and refinement.
The working of the Australian
ballot system as a general thing !
meets with strenuous opposition
in this locality. If the law were
amended, however, so as to simp
lify matters somewhat, it would be
a good thing. Each party ticket
should be printed separately on
the ballot and when a voter de
sired to vote a ticket straight he
could indicate his intention of so
doing by some simple mark. He
should also be permitted to indi
cate by some appropriate check
mark, in case he does not wish to
vote a straight ticket, the names
of the candidates voted for. Such
an amendment' would simplify
matters materially and prevent
the loss of votes through the inad
vertence of the voter in not
striking off all but the required
number of names.

employed by school men to secure
tne election of Jieid; and it is to
be hoped that many of them who
took such an active part in this
campaign will be given an op
portunity to enter the political
field exclusively where no thought
of school work will be necessary.
Governor Pennoyer will soon
attend to his (sawmill) business,
and Grover Cleveland will attend
to his (law business). And then
it is to be hoped that the people
of Oregon and of America will
have some business of their -own
to attend to. Statesman.

one of the youngest members of
