Kugcno City Guard I BAIURDAY,. ..NOVEMOKIi fl. 15101 BE.iriMENT QKOWISiU. The union sentiment it growing in ever county in Oregon, with the possible exception of Multno mah, says the McMinnville Regis tcr. And" there the self-constituted leaders stand in the way of th) people. A conflagration will strike this political Sodom some of these days, and then the people oan voice their desire in their vote. And the Portland Tribune adds: The Yamhill county paper may be about right in both its statement of fact and its prediction. The people of the city and county have been bossel so long by slippery little Joe Simon and browbeaten by Harvey Saott, that it is not certain yet whether they bave the spirit or seme enough to organize a union of forces against these corrupt tyrants; but the Tribune thinks they will hare by next spring. Simon's whole game U to ' divide and conquer;" if a union of opposi tion forces can be effected bis rule is over. TUB KIT UK THE DAY. The day before Henry George' tragic death in New York he made this striking declaration from the platform: "It is all very well for Mr Croker to tell me to go to the grand jury or district attorney. Mr Croker knows very well that I cannot do that as a private citizen. Then let the people make me mayor, give me control of the law department ol the government, of the poli.-e and of the detective (orce especially of the detective lorce and I will guarantee to know the truth about where Mr Croker got bis money in Bide of three months. I then pledge my word that if it be found Mr Croker got his money honestly I will publicly apologize to him. I will say he has been a mvcu abused man. But if be got it dishonestly, if he sold the street and other publio franchises belonging to the paople, I pledge myself to put him behind the bars." THE CIKCUlTniUaESHIP. Several person are being both ered about the judgeship of this judicial district ac ording to the Roeeburg Review. It says: "The Republican party will not be lacking lor candidates for the cirouit judgeship next year. Some of those said to be in the field are: District Attorney W E Yatos, J udae Huflbrd. ol Benton, A C Woodcock, of Lane, and A M Crawford, of Douglas. There is an impression throughout the district that Hon J CFul erton will decline to serve loncer on the bench, although he would probably be re-nominated if he desired the place. For district attorney we hear that a young Ku Bene lawyer is in the field, and there are Drobably others. Neatly all those politician who lail to get federal oflices will be anxious to run for something next year." There are over 459.000 miles of railway in operation in the world, and, according to Mr Robert I Porter, the century will close with over 500.000. . Of the present num her, just about one-half are in this country. The cost of rtilroads all over the world, thus far, has been 30,G85,OOO,OO0, and it is estimated that the street railways cost 12,500,' 000,000, The railroads employ al most 5.000.000 of people. These are bin figures, but the railroads 'reuresent avast interest in the - a worlds wealth. The Masonic fraternity of Arizo na is going to have the grandest treat ever experienced in the terri tor?, if not in the United States. The meeting of the diflerent grand lodges of the territory will be held several hundred feet underground in one of the most grandly gor geous caves in the Copper Queen mines, which will be illuminated by electricity. Alaska salmon packers are ex periencing the usual result of reap ing without sowing. The supply is rapidly decreasing and unless salmon are artificially propagated in the northern waters tb.3 noble Alaskan salmon will soon be a thing of the past, commercially speaking. Hanna is at his old game. The vote in Ohio had not been counted when he claimed the legislature was surely Republican.

The nubile Is becoming greatly Inter ested In an enterprise started at Flor ence, Oregon, with a view to securing a share of the wealth of the golden North. In the enthusiasm and energy displayed by the Inauguration of this expedition, one Is reminded of the Arganants of old, the Spanish galleys of middle hlitory, laden with gold lound Jn new land, and the more re cent Imllar expeditions from England and elsewhere to the gold fields or Australia and South Africa. No one need be reminded of the wonderful success of those apparently visionary exploits. Indeed, it is a raatUr of history that in those very ssme gold hunting adveutures were laid the foundatlona of many of the greatest fortunes of both the old and new worlds. Those who, from old age, lulrmlty, or other conditions could not go, put in money and sent others more able to withstand the hardships of the new and unexplored eountryi and thus those expeditions found themselves well equipped with young snd energetlo blood and all necesaary furnishings. Bo It Is now in the little seaport of Florence that is but 10 years old, we find all classes bending every energy to get this Alaska expedition started with all things needful to suc cessfully meet the new conditions of that country and wrest from ber frozen bosom the eoveUd gold. The objects of this company and the energy dis played in bringing them to a success ful isaue command the r spect and ad miration of every person who under stands them. New lands and new gold I The spirit of adventure and hope of fortune, always strong iu the true American heart, is being aroused by this new opportunity, and with .very stroke of the shlpbu llders'ax the enthusiasm grows apace. Every re port from Alaska confirms the state ment that gold exists there in paying Quantities ovsr a territory 100 miles long and 400 miles wide; that nine tenths of this vast area bave not been prospected beyond establishing the fact that gold la found In paying quantities. This Alaska Gold Mining and Navigation Company is organized for the ourDose of co-operation and mutual protection. The advantage in going with known parties and whose Interests are' mutual, Is apparent to every one. It gives every man chance, from the poorest to the richest. The man who has nothing but bla labor may work on the vessel, now building, and earn bis passage to Alaska, wher labor la abundant at wages from $10 to $20 per day. The man who has meana to Invest may put It in shares of stock, send a trusted mau to the mines of Alaska, and share the profits of the expedition in propor tion to the amount of funda invested. A base of supplies will be constantly maintained at a convenient point I tbe Bold-bearing district, and dl trlbuted to the stockholders at actual ooDt A light-draft steamer especially adapted for service In the lukon viu be ebartered or built and run in con niction with the ocean vessel now building at Florence. I'hla company ban Information about the minea of Aliuka that la recent direct and reliable. Tbe true story of their rich ness reads like a fairy tale. Every re turning miner confirms these reports aud proves tbe faots with tbe golden nucireta Tbe mineral districts of Alaska and the Yukon are enduring, enormously rich and extensive in magnitude. The quarts mines and plaocra of Alaska produced in 1896 $4,00 ,030, and only a beginning was made. In 1884 there was not a quartz mill iu tbe entire territory, and eveu uow there Is no quarts mill farther than three milas from tide water, When railroads and steamboats pene trate the Interior and unlock nature'a great treasure bouse, such fortunes will be mads aa will make all former achievements seem insignificant in comparison. It is a foregone oonclu slon that the mining Industry ol Alaska must iuorease at a very rapid rate for tbe next 50 years. It is tbe purpose of this company to secuie t ita stockholders their share of this great wealth. This expedition will succeed because (b.rrlug accidents) it can not fall, the veasel and cargo being fully Insured, reducing tbe risk to the lowest minimum. Every properly equipped steamer euterlng the Alaska trade must make money, because kthe demaud for ateamer service will be greater than the supply. While such an enterprise Is new to Lane county people, it la only a repetition of what has been carried to auccess In hundreds of Instances elsewhere. Our people are waking up to the innumerable opportunities for making money in Alaska. Lane county should send with this Florence expedition 100 men, aud with tbe average success of tbe Alaskan miners, they should return with $0000 eaoh, or a grand total ol $600,000. Every young and able bodied man should Investigate this op portunlty for securing a competeuoe. Every person who can spare or raise a sum of money should secure shares of tbe stock I do not mean that you abould ui " tgage your home for If you had $1,0X0,000 you could never buy au) thing belter than a hone-but many who have money to spare could Invest it In thla enterprise with the prospect of enormous returns. Men have grubstaked frit nds at a cost of only $400 or $500, end tbtrsby become half owners In mines worth hundreds of thousand. Doubtless this or similar experience will be repeated in this expedition. Tie enterprise Is In the bands of meu of toergy aud ex perience. "Old men for wUdom and young men for action," forma a com bination that will maketuccess reason- ably certain. The company nas creased its stock from w $100,000, divided Into ehsrea or iv each. All ansold stock will remain the property of the company, of whlcn every stockholder will own Ills propor tionate share. Portland, Astoria, w some seaport acceaaalle by railroad- will be the poM of lePwture from which this ateamsblp will make regu lar trips to Alaskan ports.

Salem Statesman: At a me tiog of the '-Student Body" of Willamette University yesterday, H G Hlbbard was elected to fill the vacancy caused by W J Shepard'a resignation as pres ident of tho Intercollegiate Debating League and ex-offlclo chairman of the executive committee of the league. A committee of five was appointed to select a question for debate between Wlllamet e an i the University of Ore gon of Eugene, to be held in Salem on tbe 14th of January next. Willamette submits the question and U of O chooses sides. The subject for debate must be forwarded to tbe U of O be fore the 10th Inst Local Market Nov 4, 1897. Wheat 69 cents and weak. Oats 25c.

Tues day's Salem Journal: SberlQ J H Gray and guards, Percy Davis and Joe Hlnkle, of Crook county, today brought Wm Stroud and Jos Dillman to tbe penitentiary. The former was oonvicted of assault with a dangerous weapon and received a sentence of one and a half years. The latter will serve oueyear for larceny. Dillman I mere youth Using but 17 yea sof sge, xie waaempioyea oy a rancher near Prlnevlle. Oue day bis employer re turned from the county seat with $300 In coin which he bad drawu from the bank. This amount was placed In ine House where the boy afterwards discovered it. He could not resist the temptation and took the money. Sua piolon fastened uoon him and he was arrested, whereupon he refunded the $300 but his trial and conviction fol lowed and he received a sentence of one year. It seems too bad that a youth of 17 yeats should be Incarcer ated with rough criminals. Unlike Euqilnk Men. a remark able Inatance of tender conjugal con sideration Is that of the Los Angeles man wno steadfastly refuses to work because lie fears that his wife suav be stolen In bis absence. It Is probable mac otuer men are not united In desire to pos ess his only own, charm ing as be dee i s her, but no one could make him believe It So iu his great, tired love be sacrifices his disposition to taoor and loafs around home In order to protect her. It Is an affecting instance, out no oue knows what excuse he would ofler If he did nn have a wife. G W Handsaker, steward for the insane asylum at Salem, writes: "We bave raised on the asylum farm this year nearly 10,000 busheli ofroatoes; we are getting along nicely with sow- ug fa 1 grain, have about 175 acres sown; alto raised 10,500 pauods cf grapes."
