OREGON SENTINEL.
Jacksonville:
Saturday, June 4, 1881.
Conkling has been heard of away up
in Washington Territory. The Pataha
Spirit thinks the Republican party is
under obligations to him for his resig
nation. The foolish attempt to connect Sen
ator Mitchell with mail frauds has sig
nally failed just as we predicted it
would. The attacks on him will in
good time, recoil like an Australian
"boomerang" and somebody else will
get hurt.
During the month of May the pub
lic debt, undet Secretary Windom's
management, was reduced $11,000,000.
He has refunded the 6 per cents, and
ix in a fair way of doing the same with
the outstanding 53. And yet the Dem
ocracy is not happy.
A- private letter from ex-Senator
Mitchell, on railroad matters, expresses
.. . . ... . I. . .
".2EPEn..Ktf WAWJK&VS'&SnUai turfiruian or ine American section
ar at nana, andtnat the beautiful
Tclleys of Southern Oregon will not be
isolated much longer from the outside
world. Mr. Mitchell is in a position
to know and his assurance that we are
soon to have a railroad is yery encour
ging. Observing the holidays is a good
practice in more ways than one. The
30th day of May was pretty generally
observed in all parts of tho country as
a day for decorating the graves of de
ceased defenders of the Union. In
this State it is a legal holiday, declared
auch by act of the legislature, and con
tracts made on that day in case of a
suit at law, are no more binding than
if made on Sunday.
!
The fight in New York is still going
on. The chance of Conkling and Piatt
ecuring a re-election to the Senate
seems very slim indeed, their vote de
creasing each day. Yesterday's vote
in the legislature showed 32 votes for
Conkling and 28 for Piatt, while 80
Totes are required to elect. The tele
gram reports the chances of Cornell
and Depew as being tho best for suc
ceeding the resigning Senators. "We
say amen.
The Oregonian sa s, there are now

Insane it being an increase of three

the estate of Dr. J. C. Hawthorne, de
ceased, for the care and treatment of
the insane for the quarter ending May
31, 1881, was 19,627.25, which
jfinouTifwas paid in full upon the pre
sentation of the warrant at the State
treasury.
"We are glad to notice that Geo. A.
Steel of Portland, has been appointed
by the President, Postmaster of that
city.- It seems that the late incum
bent, Cole, took it upon himself to
send private telegrams to Postmaster
General James reflecting on Mr. Steel
and now he has tho satisfaction of
knowing that his dirty work didn't
win- Ho was not alone and others
can mourn with him. Mr. Steel will
make a most courteous and efficient
ffienr.
Jay Gould & Co., accumulated seventy-five
million dollars in fifteen years;
the Yanderbilt's one hundred millions
in twenty years; Huntington, Hopkins
Co. (the Central Pacific syndicate)
accumulated one hundred and eighty
six millions in fifteen years, from an
investment of twelve thousand five
hundred dollars. The system that
allows a few men to become so im
mensely rich in so short a time,
needs looking into by the people.
At the rate that these men are
multiplying their possessions, how long
will it bo before they will own all the
wealth in the nation)
Giant powder is an important factor
in tne construction or railways, ai
many points along the line of the 0.
R. fc N. Company's road, now being
built between Portland and The Dalles
the road bed is being blasted out of
solid rock. Many rock men are at
work drilling holes, which are after
wards filled and fired. This class of
work is neressarily expensive, slow and
tedious. At 12 si. and 6 p. m., when
the workmen leave the grade the blasts
of giant powdtr are fired; then all
along the line opens a grand salute,
rivaling in magnitude the best trained
parks of artillery. A correspondent
of the Standard says it is worth a trip
up here, just to listen to their rever
berations among these grand old moun
tains, making their thousands of echoes
as was never heard before. In about
ten days one blast of three tons of
powder will be fired near here, intend
ed to lift a cliff of some 200 feet in
heieht off its foundation and pitch it
est into the river.

THE SEW TItAXSLATIO.Y.
Sunday, May 29th, was a great day
in Ihe ecclesiastical protestant world.
Most of the pulpits in the great cities
of the British Islands as well as
America were in. possession, for the
first time, of the new version of the
New Testament scriptHres. Diverse
opinions were expressed as to its utility,
and the changes made in the text of
the Bible were subjected to the closest
scruteny. "While most of the pulpits
spoke approvingly there were not a
few who disapproved of the labors of
the committe, especially where so much
liberly had been taken with individual
texts. It was objected to that even the
Lord's prayer had been subjected to a
change by which the concluding part
("for thine is the Kingdom and the
power, and the glory, forever. Amen")
was left out The word "charity" has
been rendered "love," the word "wine
bottles" to "wineskins," and thousands
of other changes that are unpalatable
to the English Bible reader.
Prof. Phil. Schaff, one of the most
lAnCTofl tDnlnmonn nf fTilQ mil--"
lUllllbU lUlWWfe....w vm. . . -. -
of the Bible revision committee, on tho
29th of May, addressed a great audi
ence at Pittsburgh, defending the new
version and strongly advocating its in
troduction among English speaking
people. He alleges that every altera
tion agreed upon by the revisionists
were warranted by the original Greek
text. Ho said the forty-seven men
who. made King James' translation had
none of them been in Palestine and
knew little of biblical geography, and
they were thus liable to make mistakes
and did make many. Since -Egypt has
given up her treasures, semi explored
Palestine traversed, Babylon and Nine
veh risen from their graves to testify to
the truth of the Bible and tender their
manuscripts and inscriptions to the ex
planation of some of its passages.
Older manuscripts since discovered
have been used in the present revision
and many actual errors rectiGed.
"Strain at a gnat" has been changed to
"Strain out a gnat" and a great many
such typographical errors corrected.
Two words in original were both trans
lated hell, in King James' version,
hades meaning the abode of souls after
death, and gehenna meaning the abode
of the dammed. In the revision these
have been corrected. So also has a
distinction between devil and demon
been made. The division into chap
ters, first made by a Roman Catholic
Otiiilfua.1 III ta3 .fiSCaf-wiitu&j , ..hi- ;d-.
into verses first made by a Paris pub
lishing house in the lGth century, have
been done away with and the text di
vided according to the sense.
That II - nurden!
-- -Tha
Portland Standard approvos of
a wail coming from tho Jackson conn,
ty organ of Democracy, complaining
of the "Insane Asylum job" put up by
tho last Legislature, with the attendum
that the tax payers are already groan
ing under oppressive taxation. The
addendum is true, and it is also true
that tin Democratic party of Oregon
may be thanked for it. Some years
ago while in power they appropriated
S92,000 for'a State House and adopted
plans that have cost the tax payers
over S500,000, and yet tho building is
unfinished and will cost half as much
more. If a private institution was
good enough for the unfortunate in
sane of the State, a private building
was quite good enough for the biennial
gathering of fools of both parties who
congregate at the State Capitol, and
the "oppessive burden" entailed by a
State House suitable for a State with
a million inhabitants might have been
kept off the people's shoulders.

Tho Reno Journal says that the
Nevada fc Oregon railroad company
expect to complete twelve miles of
their road by the end of June, and the
line will be completed to Beck with by
August 1. Eight cars cf rails and a
large quantity of ties and lumber have
arrived in Reno. It is not definitely
settled whether the road will run by
way of Lost river and Klamath or by
Summer and Silver lakes, either route
being practicable.
A great number of cherry trees are
dying throughout the city of some dis
ease. It is thought by some to be the
black knot Won't some friend posted
on horticultural matters give the public
some facts concerning this matter 1
Dalles Mountaineer.
Perhaps the trees are bark-bound.
A number of years aco, cherry trees
in this county showed signs of decav
but it was discovered that they only
needed lateral incisions through the
bark. When this was done a healthy
growth ensued. If worms attack the
trees box them about three feet high,
and fill the boxes with chip manure,
which will not only stifle the worms
but add to the health of the tree.

LETTER FROM II. GASQIET.
Jerry Nunan: Dear. Sir, You will
see from my notice published in the
Del Norte Record that I have with
drawn from tho California and Oregon
wagon road committee. My reasons
for doing so are.that we could have no
meeting; some one, always absent and
no business could be done. I have
never before been in any company and
do not understand their mode of work
ing. I never had any partners and do
not believe I could get along with
them ; therefore, I go on my own re
sponsibility. Since the flood of last winter, I do
not think it safe to follow the How
ard survey from Patrick creek to my
place that part of tho survey follow
ing the river. If the road had been
built the work would have been to do
over again this spring, on account of
the slides. Albo below my plaee, I
would propose to build the road up
above the slide instead of below it; it
is very practicable. Last winter's
flood covered the bar above the slide
J with land tnjhft dpnUi nf R to 10 irftd-7
and a large portion of the slide went
into the river. I think there is a
more substantial route; after crossing
Shelly creek, by crossing Patrick creek
just low enough to avoid Cold Spring
gulch and follow pretty near on a level
to the gap on the wfnter trail. From
experience, I have learned to keep
roads out of river beds as much as
possible.
Messrs. W. Chiles, Hendershott &
Barnett, who wero appointed from
Crescent City a few years ago to view
out a road, gave it as their opinion
that it is the best and most practicable
route. Alfred Gandor has examined
the route recently and he is of the
same opinion, and all persons who
trailed the winter trail the first year
it was made think the same. I am
going down this week, and to make it
more certain, I will hae the route
surveyed. I would like to have the
opinion of Mr. Howard, and if he can
spare the time to make the survey I
woud be pleased that he come down
and do so. As soon as I have the sur
vey made I will commence the road
from tho forks of Smith river going
toward the Oregon lino, and give the
people of Josephine county a chance to
decide whether they will prefer to pay
the money or build their share of the
road. I have been trying to let tho
contract for building the portion of
the rosd from Shelly creek to the Ore-
cessful. n. Gasouet.

Our Portland friends are enjoying a
first class "boom" in real estate, super
induced by the near approach of rail
road connection south and east. Hold
ers of town lots havo run up the
price fifty and a hundred per cent, and
the tendency is still upward. Instances
in the life of cities are by no means
wanting where the holding of town
property at an exhorbitant figure has
kept back their growth and that towns
with a future not less promising than
Portland, have in a few short years
been distanced by rival towns, and
been compelled to take a rear seat in
every element constituting a prosper
ous city. Owners of town property
who are so greedy as to ask five times
its value are not the true friends cf
Portland. Baloou prioa for buildiuj
lots fail to attract population; and it
is an unvarying rule that where the
people seeking homes and investment,
cannot go, business, also, will not go.
Such will go to towns where lot own
ers have the foresight to pursue a more
liberal policy. Real estate owners in
Portland should remember that the
.Future Great on the banks of tho
Willamette is not "out of the woods"
by considerable.
The New York Tribune perpetrates
the following and heads it, "Explained
by the Jackal:"
"The Jackall being Interviewed as
to the Recent Disturbance in the Show
said he had no Retainer from the Gi
raffe, but he had always Admired Him
He believed that One of the reasons
why that Noble Animal left the Show
was because the Proprietor Controled
all the Vehicles for Conveying the
Gnus. At this the Hyena Laughed.
"What are you Laughing atl" said the
Jackall, with his Eye over his Shoul
der. "That's My Busiuess" said the
Hyena. No Moral.
Conkling having resigned will now
have-to be resigned, and if desirous of
peace will haye to cultivate resigna

for the following reasons:
1. More care is taken in the selection
ol stock; rnly good, solid butUcut timber
being Used.
2. The Wheels are all soaked in Boil
ing Linseed Oil.
D. Every part is strongly braced; and
instead of bcin:r bolted, is clipped, so that
the full strength of the wood is secured.
4. Tbe Tires are securely bolted, aftr
being thoroughly and carefully set.
5. The Skeins arc heated before driven
on, and set in hite Lead ; consequently,
when cooled, contract, making a perfect
fit and imposibli to work loose.
It is the only Wagon on which "Holmes
