The Vice-Presidency.
WieniKGTOX, Dec 2. Tho sensa
tion of tbe-flay 18 furnished by a story
regarding the presidency pro tem cf
tbe senate. It is said that tbe repub
lioan senators, or at least a number of
tbeir leader, have rwed at ike -con
elusion that for prudential, as well as
ptlitical reasons, it would be wiser ts
elect a democrat than to bestow the
nsr nponens of their own numbor
lis idea is inspired by a number
lacers of tbe Grand Army of"ttbe He
lblio of the District'of Columbia, and
is been put in be forat of a circular
Idreseed jtoj republican senators. It
lys tbe vacant chair in tho senate
hould be filled by one in accord, polit
ically, with Cleveland and asks repub
lican senat-erp, in order to allaj ex
citement and apprehension of danger
to give the office to 'democrat.
It is eaid that tbe originators of this
circular called upon Gen. Logan and
Tiad a long intirviev upon the topic.
Gen. Logan is understood to have been
Tery favorably impressed with the
logic embodied in tbe address, and in
Qect qafite greed therewith. He
said, amone other things, shat Senator
Harris or Senator Cockrell would
make a goad presiding officer, and
under the present condition! of affairs
it might be wel' to elect one of thece
gentlemen.
The address' will probably be made
public, eitber on Thursday or! Friday.
One of the main points urged in it is
that if a republican should be presid
ing officer of tho senate and any fanat
ic er any lunatic should make an J
effort to harm the presibnnt, the re
publican party would inevitably have
to bear the odium, and that the ii
tsrtsts ef the'eonntry and tbe oUimate
good of the republican party unito in
demanding the sacrifice of political
feeling'on the part of republican sen
ators. The "Oregonian" of December 3rd,
feforring to the appointment of It. M.
Dement as Police Judge of Portland
said: "This is the first indication that
everything in politics and public
affairs is to be run under tbe Mitchell
-dictation. We shall see where this
will end. Kert June may afford a
pointer in that way." It is plain to be
iseon from the above extract that
iScott having failed to defeat the elec
tion ef Senator Mitchell will now try
Ye et even by defeating the Jtepubli
cist party next June. In view of this
threat irom the great mugwump of
Orrgon, is it not tbe duty of every
true Republican in the State to buckle
n his armor and go in to win, and
thereby teach the boasting autocrat
that his efforts in that direction' will
be as faille as they were against Sena
tor Mitchell. The senatorial election
kan demonstrated that the Republican
la this State cannot be intimidated by
any threat from that source. There
fere let him sail in and give us a
peinter.
New York, Nov.. 30. It is stated
on good authority that the Rale- of the
unfinished Orrgon k Ca'ifornia rail
rod' to the Central Pacific bas not
been completed. The negotiations bad
reached arrangements to issue $10,000,
000 of Central Pacific bonds, bearing
3 per cent, interest for three years,
and 5 per cent, thereafter, with which
to take up all the Oregon k California
bends, and leave the surplus to com
plite the road to a connection with
the Central Pacific to build from Cor
vallis to a junction with the Oregon
Ewtf Side line, and relay the-Orem
& California with steel rails. New
London lawyers have raised a questii n;
first, whether the Central Pacific, un
der its charter, can become owner of
the Oregon fc California roail; and sec
ondly, if the United States Govern
ment's lein on the main line of the
Central Pacific would not attach to
and cover the Oregon & California if
it was bought by the Central Pacific
It is- not generally known- that fish
are among the longest-lived animals.
Prof. Baird, best of authority in fidi
matters, says carp hare been known
te live two hundred years, and a pike
- ia. Russia fully doubled that length of
time. Goldfish in aquaria hare lived
fifty years, in Waahinghton, as the
record fhows, but no ons knows how
much longer. Sacred fish in China
' hare reached four hundred years or
more.
Papers have already been receirtd
by the Clerk of the House of Repre
sentatives at Washington giving notice
of contests for four seats in the next
Congress, as follows: Campbell
against "Weaver, for the Fifth Iowa
District; Kine against Steele, for the
Eleventh Indiana; Page against Pierce,
far the Second Rhode Island, and Purr
against Romei, the Tenth Ohio. I
Hot hd Halo wMno
e Royal Baking T?o wder possesses a peculiar nrerU thai
is wot possessed by any other leavening agent. It provides:
bread, biscuit, cake, muffins, or rolls which may be eaten :
when hoi without inconvenience by persons of the most deli
cate digestive organs. "With most persons it is necessary
that bread raised with yeast should lose its freshness or
become stale before it can be eaten with safety. The same
distressing results follow from eating biscuit, cake, pastry,
etc, raised by the cheap, inferior baking powders that contain
lime, alum, or other adulterants. The hot roll and muffin,
and the delicious hot griddle cakes, raised by Royal Baking
Powder, are as wholesome and digestible as warm soup, meat,
or any other food.
Another greatly superior quality possessed by the Royal
Baking Powder is that by which he preservation of 1m
portant elements of the flour is .effected in raising the bread
by mechanical operation of the gas without fermentation.
Yeast, and all baking powders that produce the leavening
gas by' fermentation, as is well known, destroy a portion of
the nutritive elements of the flour, and particularly those
which are the most healthful and the greatest aids to a
perfect assimilation of the food. The Royal Baking Powder,
while perfectly leavening, retains without change or impair
ment all those elements which were intended by nature, when
combined in our bread, to make it literally the " staff of life."
No leavening agent or baking powder, except the Royal
Baking Powder possesses these great qualifications.
Wagner Creeh Items.
A squint at Wagner creek has
lately been had fay a man oriiborae
back.
To those who never studied geec
raphy or hare never "been there,"
and those who live away off, for in
stance those who live away out at
Eagle Point, we say to thera that
Wagner creek ia the garden spot of
our valley.
The people are happy, and, as a
rule, marry young. The most glaring
exception of single cussednets is a
tchool master living some distance
from the head of the creek.
The land being splendid, from 60 to
100 dollars per aero ii being paid for
it.
Mr. Sherman is now putting im
provements on his two acres, which
are a little up the creek from the town
and for which he paid 100 dollars per
acre.
A little farther on, and we find that
Hendriek Goddard lately built a
dwelling house, and returned his
thanks therefar to Him on Thanks
giving night by a dedication dance.
Mr. Dean and Miss Walters are
doing well with the Wagner Creek
school, and intend, daring the holi
days., to have a schtl exhibition.
Preparations are being made to
have a dramatic entertainment. There
is also a literary society, and this Sat
urday evening there is I believe a
debate about women and voting. (I
think I will take my wife np there.)
The place has a brass band, that is
able, though recently gotten up, to
already play several tunes.
Mr. William Breeze ia leader of the
band.
Wagner creek will soon be a thickly
settled part of our valley. The land
being good, many tt. ill make them
selves beautiful home?. It is a pleasant
neighborhosd to live in, and the peo
ple there we with well.
Talent, the town ef tbo place,
though slowly, it) steadily growing.
Every short spell .a new building is
added to the place. A Mr. Jackson
is now building a dwelling houte
there. Many small bui'dings are
going on, and the place is making a
very respectable appearance.
