It it confidently ex pected the road will be finished and trains running between the Bay and Corrallis in four months after the work lias been resumed. There be no halt made at Corvallis, but work will be energetically pushed towards this city and on into the Cascade ruoun tains. The directors in New lork are now considering- the point at which bridge shall be thrown across the Wi aniette. There arn three points be- tweon this city and Corvallia where bridge can be erected, all of them satis factory. If ourcitizens desire a double bridge across the Willamette above the mouth of the Calipooia, the compa ny stands ready to receive propositions to that end. If our citizens, aided by the two counties, will agree to pay toward the erection of such bridge sum of money sufficient to make the. 0. P. R.

Severa'l first-class coaches, mail and baggago cars, built to order in the East, are now on their way to Yaquina Bay, bliould the present weather continue for two or threo weeks, railroad build ing will be commenced in earnest and when once fairly commenced there will be no let up. As soon as the grade sticks are set along the division between Porfer'B place and the divide, the engineers will return to Linn county, and the line of tho road will be duly surveyed and grado stakes driven through her borders. During the coming summer, stirring times will be witnessed m Linn county. A large number of men and teams will be engaged in work along the line of the railroad, all of whom will have to he fed, thus furnishing a heavy demand for breatlstufls, meat, butter, egK potatoes, etc., as well as oats and other fodder for the hundreds of teams employed. In this way many a twenty dollar piece will find its way into the pockets of our mechanics, farmers, grocers, etc. Large amounts of ties, lumber, tools and hardware, etc, will be needed and so on through the whole catalogue of railroad wants, affording all an opportunity of getting some of the "pie." Thousands upon thousands will be expended among us during the season, as the policy of the company is, other things being equal, to purchase all supplies needed and ob tainable in tho district through which the road is being pushed. At present times are rather dull and money phe nomenally scarce, but a few weeks, or months at most, and the table will be turned, and those who take time by the forelock and aro prepared for the rush, will reap the greater benefits. 'Rah for the good times coming. The new Governor of Iowa, Mr. Sherman in his recent inaugural address makes tho following reference to tho railroad monopolies in that state and the propor system for state control: "Therefore the extreme sensitiveness of the public mind in relation to this great matter, which has heretofore giv en expression in a feeling that the Gov eminent should exercise its authority in adjustment of the right of all citi tens; an authority which has been recognized by the highest courts of tho country. Experience has seemed to demonstrate that an absoluto and in flexible tariff law is equitably impossi ble, and the tendency has bfen toward .L- J- I .. . . wiiav is Known as the "commissioner system," now being tried in our own as well as several other of the states. C1 iV . . - a oumcieiu time has not elapsed to enable us to form a conclusion as to the efficacy of this system, and there fore I favor testing it with real thor- -...-I mt a uugunw, ine law now upon our statute book is yet new, and may be prude; and time is required to demon strate the necessity of a revision.' It is a matter of vital importance to the State, arfd I commend it to the serious study of the people. During the post year, but two other states have con structed as many miles of now railroad as has Iowa, and at least five millions of foreign capital has been invested in our stato through this increase. The commission may, I think, bo pop ularized by bringing it more nearly into intimate relations with the peoplo and their principal employments, by a requirement that at least one of its members should be a represenlatve of the producing class, which would more fully install it in the respect and confi dence of the peoplo," STATE KEV& 1 Terrible Fate. A Walla Walla dispatch of Febru ary Zd says: About 1U o clock last bight a fire broke out in a farm house owned and occupied by Julius Weisick, situated about five miles from this city, The building and contents were com pletely destroyed. Mrs. Eliza Medler, aged 42, her daughter Emma Isadora Medler, aged 19, and a son Arthur, aged 6, were burned to death, The other inmate escaped with little or no clothing.' The fire is supposed to bave caught from a match dropped by the mother, who, it is presumed got up to see the boy who was sick. Mrs. M. is a sinter of Julius Wiesick. Her bus. band is now in the John Day country looking for a ranch. The house and contents were worth about $4000; no insurance. ' Capt Mitchell, of the schooner II. L Tiernan, is having a three-masted schooner built for him at Shoal water Bay. She will carry about 400,000 t feet of lumber.- Where the Money lion. The earnings of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company for Decern- wr last were 373,700 against $157,- 574 for December, 1880. But it shonld be remembered that the ice blockade of Docember 1880,amost stopped busi ness. X he entire earnings of the com pany for tho year 1881 on ocean, river and rail divisions were 14,391,681, a gain of $1,053,673 over the earnings of 880. The company paid a two per cent, quarterly dividend, equal to eight per cent, per annum on all its stocks on 'ebruary 1st. IIow long can the peo ple of Oregon stand this drain of money from this State to the pockets the Eastern speculators. A rail road is a mere means of transporta tion. It produces nothing itself. It is not a factory to employ men and keep money here. See what a vast sum Vil- 1 11 e . . .i iaru s ireignt tanti piles up in one year. Vidette. Normal School.

Baker City grange is in a prosperous condition, and is said to be doing good work in developing the agricultural re sources of Baker county. Tho net earnings of the County Clerk of Polk county, for the half year' ending Dccemlier 31st, were $1069 45;: those of the Sheriff, $1110 80. Tho eontract for the new M. E."

The earnings of the Sheriff of Linn' county during the half year ending Dec. 31st were $2676 60. Expenses of the office, including salary of dep uty, eta, $1468. Net earnings for mlf year, $1208 60.' Acting under instructions from' the' socretary of the interior Major Rhine- liart, farmer in charge, has ordered all' persons having s'ock upon the Malheur' reservation to remove them without' delay. Luckey, Breyman and Sbmorville of rineville, purchased about 1,000 head of cattle, mostly of thd following par ties: Ferry Reed, Al. Lyle and Wm. Guildford, and are in the market for' more. They have negotiated with Cal-' fornia buyers for a sale of from 1500 to 2000 head of steers. E. Hall, postmaster at Canyori City;'' Frank McBean and John Cary, sub contractor on the Canyon City and' McDermitt route; John Fisk' and Joe Mastcrson, stage drivers; and E.' Schutz and Wm. Cowed, hotel keepers,' have been summoned to Washington on the star route business.- On the 29th ult tho mercury marked' 26 degree below zero at Parkers ata-' tionon Burnt river. This' is pretty cold for Oregon, but then that station' is well up in tho mountains. On' the same day the record was 4 degress' below at Canyon City.-Tliisjisjthe lowest temperature experienced therefor sev-' eral seasons. Oregon needs a normal school, says the Albany Democrat, and it is the duty of every citizen who favors the advancement of our educational inter ests to endorse all measures which wil bring about the establishment of such a school. It is becoming more and more evident every day that the class of teachers in our public schools needs to be bettered. This can only be done by establirthing a school in which young men and women are trained for that business, the same as they are in order to enter any of the professions. telegram from the Washington correspondent of the New Yorks Pout says that PoHtmosterGeneral Howe begins his official career with a per emptory refusal to listen to applications for office. He says the Department is more than full Very good, Mr, Howe very good, indeed; but how is it, Mr Howe that yeu did not make this economic beginning until after you had appointed your son to a snug, well paid place in the very Department which you say is already so brim full? You are no doubt, willing that charity should begin at home, but this thing of applying the pruning-knife of reform to the same place is evidently too severe an operation for the Howe family to endure.- Coyotes are Ud in the Waldo Hill's. They are vry bold and go into sheep corrals after their ram. During the past season the Oregon' Improvement company have classed1 themselves with tho leading real estate owners of Baker county by purchasing- 15,800 acres of state lands. These' lands were bought from private parties" and not directly from the state and are' situated immediately on the line of ths' railroad as located by the O. R. fe N Co., in Powder river valley.' The three-mile flume being built at Auburn will be completed the coming' summer. In order to take water from' Powder river and conduct it through1 this flume to the placer mines on the' Blue Canyon flat at Lower Auburn, a' cut varying in depth from five to' twenty-two feet, through rock, gravel and loam, has been made, involving a a vast deal of labor and expenditure of money. When completed the stream' of water conveyed to the mines will oe' forty inches in width and two feet in' depth, or about 1200 miners' inches' at the mouth of the flume. Some 60 men, says the Standard", are' at work on the proposed dry dock" of the O. Ii. i N. Co., about three-quar ters of a mile' below Albina, under ths direction of W. W. But, brought out here from Chicago' to superintend' the work. Taking advantage of the present low stage f f water in tho river a bulk head is being constructed of brick, tim ber and cement, to keep the water from entering the excavation for the dock A. large number of teams are at work- removing the surface dirt with scrapers. This mode of excavation will be irsed tcr as great a depth as practicable, after' which other means will be employed. An effort will be made to get the wort sufficiently advanced to prevent any in terruption being caused by the "June rise."
