O- R. N. Co's. Lease.
A Philadelphia dispatch, of August
5th has the following regarding the
O.HN. Co.'s lease:
The "Pruss New York special
rajs: Harrin, president of the North
ern Pcific, is expected here in threo
or four days, when the lease of iIim
Oregon Navigation Company's lines
will probably ha signed. It will vir
tually absorb the Navigation company,
and has already brnefitii-d both roads,
as the recent rise in securities of thn
Oregon Improvement is ascribed to
the payment of a loan of $250,000,
which the bears declare it could tiot
prov ido for, and to the opinion that it
is getting out of its financial snarls.
The Transcontinental tlinctors are
now consiili'iing apian for theisiuance
of trust bond, based ?n securities,
chitQv Navigation and Northern Pa
cific, which are held and owned by the
corporation. The securities will prob
ably bo deposited with the Farmers'
Loan and 'lrust Company.
Butler's action worries the Demo
crats more than the) will admit, nnd
the N.t?w York "World," with curious
want of logic, attempts to i-liow that
he will inj'ire Illaine more than Clevo
land. It gives no facts to bear out
this singular asertion, while every,
thing in the character of thn man
shows that he will appeal to the people
who usually vote the Democratic tick
et. When he appears on the stump
there will ha a rattling of the dry
bones of the Democratic plat form and
it will nut be ht-ahv for uny Bourbon
orator who nmv charier to n eak in the
Sinie towns with him. Butler is a
better and more convincing spejker
than any whom the Democrats have
in service, while he is twice as smart
in the ready repartee which is so effec
tive on thestump.
" Av !Elp.pijast on a Tare. A dis
pacufroroifHailey, Idaho,, says tlie
most" exctttiijj' scene that probably
ever occurred in Idaho transpired at
tjiat place on the 4tli. A. circus was
showing, and after the grand parade
a mammoth e1epiant becamo unman
ageable and attacted the team draw
ing the lion's cage. The brute upset
tlie cage and killed two of the horses.
which were attached to it. He then
went 6uf from the grounds and upset
a number of heavy lircus wagons,
and for two hours tore up everything
in his way. Some 2,000 people fol
lowed with pistols and guns and con
tinued tiring upon him. He was at
last corralcd between a train of load
ed cars and chained.
Giuis Without Irrigation. The
Reno "Gazette" of last Monday says:
Ira L Ilolcombo brought to torn to
day sivmp'es of wheat and oats lliat
will compare favorably with tlie pro
duct of any country on enrth. The
wheat is of tho xeeil distributed by the
San Francisco 'Bulletin," and ix of the
Australian variety. It will avemgn
five feet high all over his field, ami is
well filled. The oats is tho White
Russian, and measures six feet six
inches. Mr. Holcombe says tlis oats
will yield 100 bushels to the acre.
LI nli tlie wheat and oats have not hail
a drop of water during the season,
except what liaturo jiravidt-d in rain
fall. The xamples are to be seen a,t
the DenpJntr-1- . .
The "Irish World" says: "In Cleve
land's vctoe of the bill reducing the
hours of labor on street cars, we are
furnished with the keynote to the pol
icy he would adopt should he ever
get into the White House. As Presi
dent he would consider it his highest
duty to consult the interests of the
corporations. He is of that class that
believes that our government should
foster and protect wraltli and not
manhood. He represents a spirit
which is at war with die principles of
the Declumtion of Independence, and
which if it ever gains ncndancy, vvill
J'ave us fli'ly u fern of u Rejiublieai:
government."
The town of Wasco, ten miles south
of Grant's station in Wfco county,
was visited by a regular cyclono on last
Tuesday. The storm was a terrible
one blowing down the new Methodist
church, Wieseekk's mill and other
building. W. M Birnett, merchant,
was severely injured in the spine.
His new store stood, but the door and
windows were blown in, and the
goods damaged by rain.
O. P. It. R. Co.
The building of the Oregon Pacific,
which ts now making rapid strides
from Corvallis to seaboard at Yaquina
bay, is vrry likely to afford another
ou'let to Eastern Oregon. We are in
formed by reliable person that it is
the intention of the projectors to form
a junction with Gou'd'n Short Line
somewhere in the neighborhood of
Snake river. It is very important for
this last named road to reach seaboard
snniawhrre, and since the Burn,t river
pass has come under the control ol the
O. R. fc N. Co , and the last named
road has been leased by the N. P. R.
R., Gould must look to some other
means of getting to the ocean. The
work already done on the Oregon Pa
cific, and the manner in which they
are pushing ahead, indicate that some
leading mind who knows how to build
a railroad is at the head, and ir is very
evident th.at Jay Gould i the man.
The surveyed route crosses from Cor
vallis to the soytli of Mt. Jefferson,
then continuing through the southern
part of Wasco, northern part of Grant
into Union, and finally taps the Short
Line near Snake river. The route is
deemed feasible by engineers, and the
grades in no instance will ho very
heavy. Yaquina Bv is a desirable
seaport, having no difficult bar at the
entrance, and 'jeing land locked on
nearly all sides. Wo cannot tell how
long before the Union Pacific will run
their cars through to tide-water by the
O. P. R. R., but there can be but lit
tie doubt in a few years there will be n
transcontinental line in this direction,
antl that u city of importance cini
mandiug a considerable portion of tiie
trade of Eastern Oregon will bo built
on Yaquina Bay.
Ingenious Telegraph In-
strumdnt.
Mr. E J. Kendall, Supt. of the tele
graph' office in this place, hasjut
made a neat and ingenious instrument,
for ascertaining the locality where the
vire is grounded or broken between
station)), which is inclosed in a box
about 8 inches square, and is therefore
portable like any other small box. It
enntaine a circle a brass standing up
rfghl, inside of which is wound about
3 or 4 miles of wire, and flatwise is a
compass, the needle working with a
sensitiveness that can be moved by
metal held three or four feet away.
The break is ascertained by the resis
tance on the wire, and the agent near
est can cfi out to make repairs, without
the necessity of agents en each side,
going out to find tho break as hereto
fore. The instrument was tested, a
few days since by grounding the wire
on Siskiyou mountain, near Dollar
hide's and the placo was located with
in a quarter of a mile of the exact
point. The company had intended to
Mnd an instrument here, ami not com
ing, Mr. K. devoted his leisure lime to
making one, which he can take to any
plate or on board ship, to test either
land or cable wire in finding locality of
a break The instrument is called a
galvanometer, and those made at the
east, cost about S150. "Yieka Jour
nal." The dark side of female lifr in Chi
na is exposed to view in a letter from
a missionary of the American bsard,
published in the Missionary "Herald."
Speaking of a visit to u village about
30 miles from Pekin the writer says:
"We found heie a new invention for
the destruction of infant girls. It is
for the mother-in law to take a willow-
dust pan nnd fan the little creature
tt'l life is extinct. The doctor found
one young mother weeping over the
murder of her infant, whom the moth
er in Irw iiad allowed to livo two
weeks befpre smothering it. The
por girl was sick ami weak, yet she
wa pushed about and kicked like a
dog, and scoffed at when she wept.
The husband is helpless in such a case.
If a sou is the first born, tho mother
is to'eruted; if a daughter, her lot is
most miserable. The only retribution
feaie.l by the mother in-law is that
the young wife will commit suicide,
when her family may come en masse
and tear down tho house of her oppres
sors. They manage to keep, if possi
ble, inside the limit of their persecu
tion which drives to suicide bat they
make her life more miserable than yoa
can conceive. But these same wives,
when they become aged and ugly, are
as cruel as death to the young women
who fail into their bands."
The State of Main.
The next State election that will
have any significance as to the Presi
dential contest will be held in Maine
on the second Monday in next month.
Some of the dude papers, in anticipa
tion ol a light vote, and, therefore, a
moderato Republican majority, have
been telling around that unless the
majority in Mxine shall be at least
25,000 to 28,000 it will be a manifest;
hit against Blaine's chances. Of
course, this is fraudulent information.
Maine has not for many years given,
so large a Republican majority. The
majority at the Presidential election,
in 1S7C was but 16,500; in 1880,
but 88G8; in 1882, for Governor, 8872.
In 1S79 the joint vote of tho Green
back and Democratic candidates fpr
Governor was 492 more than the Re
publican vote. Away back" in 187-
the Republican majority had jjot'dowu
from the high twenties to 17,000 for
Governor, though in 1808 Gran bear,
Seymour for President by over 28,000;
but that same year the majority in
Massachusetts was 77,000. It would,
be as unreasonable an argument against
Blaine's chances this year if the party
in September should fail to get ore
15,000 or 1 0,000 majority in Maine as
lo expect 77,000 for Blaino in Massa
chusetts in November. There is hard
Iy ever as full a voto at the Septem
ber as at the November election, and
if the Republicans carry Maine next
month by as much as 8000, or the
majority for Garfield in 1880, it may
fairly be accepted as a sign that Blaine

J"ew Disease.
A dispatch from Chicago has th3
following account of a new and fwarfui
disease:
""A woman went to the County Hos
pital sufferingjroiri a. painful swelling
of the jaw, which proved to be an ac
cess. On examination the surgeon dia
covered it to be no ordinary alcess, bui
a horrible disease known as "lumpy
jaw," contracted by eating the flesh of
cattle afflicted with the same disease:
The abefss contains vegetable para
sites identical with tliosd found ia
cattle. The pnrasito is the size of a
pigeon shot and the color of sulphur.
The disease is very painful. The pa
tient was given a private room in th4
hospital. An operation wilt be per
formed Tuesday. The case will excitd
great interest, as it is the 'first ever
known in the United States, though
twenty-four similar cases are recorded
in Germany and other foreign coilii
tries. The disease is known to uifdU
cal science as "actcnomy coI."
Dr. O'Donnell is telling ?ohie colds:
sal lies at the Ea9t about the prera
luice of lerrosy in this city. He also"
declares that he has two lepers with
him, whom ho iutcndii to put on exhi
bition, when the fact is that he never
carried any lepers from this coast;
Men of his stamp aro a great injury
to the State, because Eastern people
are misled by their exaggerations- and
fancy that all out statements aboatr
the Chinese mutt bo taken with equal
allowance. Some of O'Donnell's talk
about leprosy in his lectures is wild
enough to entitle him to a placs' in a
lunatic asylum, while his whole schesio
is to secure personal notoriety, not to
redress any public evil.
It speaks badly for the authoritier
of a district like that of Lancaster,
Pa., that they refuse to arrest the no
torious outlaw, Abe Buzzard, guilty of
a half dozen murders, and known to"
be onu of the boldest thieves in the
iLountains. About six months ago
this outlaw gained notoriety by kiv es
cape from a posse, and; now, after re
maining in hiding, he has come out
again in his old haunts and iiti officer
of the law has the courage to tackle
bim. They should import some cow
boy Sheriff from flit plains. He would;
gather in this Buzzard, "dead of alive.-
Four Nookia Sound Indians were1
poisoned from eating raw clams at
Port Discovery, W. T., last week.
Their tongues became frightfully swoll
en and pTotruded from thoir mouths,
while their lower jaws dropped and
their bodies were affected wi'lj violent
tensions of the nerves. They narrow;
ly escaped death.
