PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEilENT In posting our books for the year 1S94 we find here are a mtmbtr of persons tn deteed to tis in smaU amount which aggre gate -several thousand dollars. Like al most every body ehe, tee are sadly in need of money with which to pay our indebted nessnot for investment or specidation. Our creditors are in the same fir, and are crowding us. Consequently we are com pelled to urge upon our friends the neces- stir of the payment of the small amounts due us. Therefore we trill at the earliest possible moment render a statement of account, as appears from our boots Janu ary 1, JS34, to every person indebted to us. Yhere there are so many small accounts it is texi to impossible to keep all of them cor rectly, hence when you receive a statement and think il ts incorrect, evei if you have paid it and tre failed to give gou credit, don't "fly of the handle" and get mad, but trrite kindly and tell us abont it if you can't write kindly, write any way, for we want to hare our books correct- If you. can't pay the whole amount of your bill, . a portion of it will be thankfully received, and if it is not convenient for you to pay any of it, let us know that fact also. We would be pleased to hare every person re ceiving a statement of account to acknow ledge its receipt at their earliest conven ience. PLAIXDEALER PCD CO. It is surprising how many people there aro who want to bay the Or rod. Pacific immediately after each and every sale. Those people who think the "silver fanatics" aro now making their last howl in Oregon will bo greatly enr prised a boat one year from next April. The ""re-election or defeat of Senator Dolph will not decide the silver question. The taxpayers of Mnltnoajih connty are now in rnoarnio because of the $5,(XX),(XK) raie in their nsess metit made by the state board of equalization. And we may ww ex pect to see the On?Kon:an sqneJch any member of the board who at tempts to justify the raise. "While other portions of Oregon, in cluding the Willamette valley, are covered with snow we of the TJmpqua valley are enjoying the mildest of winter weather. Friday afternoon and Saturday forenoon the sun came ont in all its splendor making it ap pear as though spring time had come. The Oregonian in a recent issne devoted a column to the editor of the Jialem Monrnal, and all because the latter individual is unable to seethe silv-r question in the same light as do -he Oreiroaian. The Oregonian se- is to think it a crime for anv fa ds lual o hold opinions that in any va confljc' with it own. The scale forlS35was presented to tb.9 Torkma at the Cirnicie Steel company's mills m this city yester dai. The scale involves a general redaction in skilled labor. In many ins-ancesthe decrease will amount to 50 per cent. The workmen say the cm is nnjcstifiable. bat they will be obliged to submit to it- Thoe who do cot siga the new scale by January first, will ba discharged, "it 13 ex pected to resume work oa Jannarv 2nd. The above is an Associated Press disnatch, sent oat from Pittsbnrg. Ho the times have changed! "Re member Homestead!" was a cam paiga cry that helped to bring about the "change"' in 1892. The highest pai 1 labor ia the world was thea de--Sant and wanted mor. Now it snb . raits to redaction after redaction, be cause it is "obliged to submit to it." Experience is a severe school master, bat many people will learn under 'no other, remarks the Statesman. FACTS TOLD BY FIGURES. Debt Statement, Receipts and Ex penditures, and Coinage.

Sale of ,the Oregon Pacific Railroad Taken Under Advisement. CoitVALUs, Or., Jan 3 Another chap ter tins been added to tlio inurh litigated case of the Farn era Lam & Trust Com pany v the Oiegon l'ncilic and the Wil lamette Valley A Coast railroad com panies. The matter of the confirmation of ti c recent sale, nmilc by the shcrifl' to Bonner & llammwu!, the Montana eiipi talistc. for $100,000. camo on to bo heard lod , ud, ufler much nrguruent for and apnlupt. whs taken under ndvisement un til Jann'aiy 19. The purchasers weio represented by John Burnett, who moved for confirmation. Matin;: thai, as thu priKOfcdinns wt-mid to lie ie;:iiliir, it was the duty id Hut court to con linn it, evou tliooKli tlu pnreliafp price was small. This million was opposed by iv S. llronatigli, h Hpiviired on behalf of bis tlnn, and Referee Walfey, who aleo appealed in his own behalf Uoth heartily indorsed :i proposition made by alhi Nash. Tim is n proposition made by Engli.-di cjpititists, by wire, to the ellcct that, if lulkt-11 under advisement Ions euoogli to kivu ample time, $50,000 would deiositel a i 1 tt 1 tie court ns a guarantee that, if a iiew sate was ordered, $200,000 or upwards would be bid, and if they failed to purchase, the deposit to bo foi foiled. George Bicham also appeared on behalf of 75 of the revolver's employes and operatives, presenting about as many thousand dollars in labor claims, and fully'indorsed the confirmation, as he could then luoit-ed in some other manner to recover for his clients, pre sumably against the plaintiff, as prayed for in his petition already ou file. J. R. Bryson, attorney for the plaintiff, had nothing to say. J. K. U'eatherford op- pored a confirmation at this time, on be- halt of tho material "men. Tercy Kelly, of Albany, also 'opposed, for the reason that the gros inadequacy of the bid, coupled with the many irregularities, in timatcd fraud and collusion on tbe part id,, tho bondholders and the plaintiff to cheat tbe Oregon creditors out of the deb's contracted during tbe receiver's administration. E. L. Bonner, the purchaser, wr.s also pres eut and desired that the court either con firm or reject, that he might have either the property or his money, when the ap parent dissatisfaction might be overcome, and he be iermitted to go, leaving the matter to the gentlemen who might offer more for the road ht another lime juuae fuuertcu also received a wire from one Kimball, a lare bondholder, to tbe effect that if a postponement cnuld be had, he would be prepared to offer $150,000 for the road at a new sale In tossing upon the matter, the conit granted a continuance of 15 da) s for a consummation of the Nash proposition, but stated that It no guarantee was then made, the present sale would be con firmed. The court will again convene here January 19, to pass upon the ob jections, and other matters indicated above. CROPS IN RUINS, Florida WUI Lose Millions By the Cold Weather. Jaocsoxytlu:, Fla , Dec 31. Three million dollars will hardly cover tbe loss in Florida from the cold of the past 72 hours. D10 mercury dropped to 22 deg. above zero last night, and the ccld com pleted its work of destruction. The pine apple plantations are ruined, as well as the or.njw and tbe winter vegetable crops. Next wear's orange crop will be!"1 ,0I shortened by 1,000.000 boxes, which : means an additional loss of tl,500,00O to! . 1 . . i : me growers sea transportation com- i panies. Tbe direct and incidental leases by this spell will aggregite to,COO,i.OO m the next two years. Last nisht at 8 o'clock the mercery was at -11 deg. The mercury went down to 14 ile. aboye zero at the-wgnal station in this city jcit before sunrise this morninz. this ; record being 1 deg. colder than the tern- I t,,ere ,1S! bcen a reduction in rates aver , perature during the great freer; of ISSo, ! 2'aS about 70 cents on ejeh ton carried, 'and tho lowest since 1535. The ther-' dnd a reduction in tho rat charged per mometer 11 me station is iuu feet above ground, tand the surface readines about town average from 10 to 3 deg. lower. Reports Irom Titosville, Tampa, Ocaia, Gainesville, Pala'.ka and Sanfor.l indi- j cite. tbe mercury dropped to about 13 I above zero iu these localities. The .orange and vegetable crops are practi cally mined. Tbe best estimate places mesnmnerot oranges on the trees at fully 2,600,000 boxes, and officials ol the Florida Fruit Exchange, in this city, think fully 2,003,000 1-oxes have been frozen cither wholly or in iart. If this estimate is correct, the remainiriz 003,009 boxes will bring fibnlous prices. These reports cannot be verified until tonight -or tomorrow, but the best informants in fruit matters sav "Tho jig is up with the oranges of 1S33 94." Ice formed on the streets of Jacksonville Ibis morning. The snap U not without compensation however, as it has largely killed the scale, one of the deadliest orange est?, and exterminated another, the white fly, which was iecotning active in some Eroves and threatened the state. Steeves Found Guilty. Attorney X S. Steeves of Portland was Satnrday found guilty of the crime of manslaughter on a charge of complicity with "Bunco" Kelly in the mnrder of "Uncle" George Sayres. The verdict of the jury was reached after 15 hours de liberation. His counsel was granted 30 days' time to file a motion for a new trial, as is usual in such cases, and they asked that their client lie allowed his liberty on bail. Judge Stephens later released the prisoner on $10,000 bonds, furnished by W. O. Allen and L. V, W. Qiiimby. Sleeves was given his freedom, and after enjoying tho open air for about one hour. District Attorney Huroo convinced tho court that the statutes of the Mate do not provide for liberating a prisoner such as Steeves on bond, and he was azain taken Into custody by the sheriff and returned to the jail, where he will doubtless re main until tbe final disposition of his case. Steeves i- adjudged guilty of nun f laughter on the theory that ho entered into a conspiracy with Kelly againrt Sayres, Imt did not intend that Sayres should be murdered. Further, that Sleevee could not be responsible for what Kelly did, when Kelly went beyond Steeves' intentions Thu verdict there fore is regarded by lawyers as ljeing in accord with tho statute in such casep, says the Oregonian.

The advance proofs of tho report of tho statu hoard of railroad commissioners to bo submitted to tho legislature at tho coining session have been received from the printer. Messrs. I. A. Macruni, chairman; J. It. I-Mdy and II. U. Comp- son, commissioners; and Lydell Baker, clerk, in their report saj : "Much tnoro has been accomplished duiiug the last two years than could have been done, hail not the unprecentcd wave of husiness depression swept over the Male and country generally. In 1893 the fulling otT of freight und p.issohger business wan simply marvelous. In 1S1M it was Mill greater. Of the railroads ot- crated within tho state, four aro in tlio bands of rccciveiu, and tko accounts of all show a largo deficit. Notwithstand ing the earnings of tho various railroad companies havo been decreasing steadily tho past twu year., yet considerable con cessions havo been secured from all the principal toads by way of material rcduc tiou in freights on the leading produc tions of tiic state." Tho following comparison of passenger und freight business is made, the group ing of tho interstate commerco connnis sion K-iiu used: Tho inteietate com uierco commission, iu order to facilitate its compilation of railroad statistic?, has divided the couutry into 10 groups, bo ginning in New England with group 1, and finishing on the Pacific coast with group 10. Tho territory embraced with in tho latter consists of the states of Cali fornia, Oregon', Washington, Idaho and Nevada, and the tenituiiee of Utah, Aii- zona and part ol New Mexico. Tho total capital (vr mile of tho 10th group is $S4, S36, suUlivided as follows: Stock, $46, 033; bond -d debt $35,000; other capital, $373S Tho connections of the great tranKxmtinental lines having any con siderable mileage in Oiegon are tbe Ore gon & Califoruia (Southern Pacific Com pany lessee), and the Oregon Railway A Navigation Company. The former shows a capital stock per mile of $29,074; bonds, $30,030 total, $5S,104; tho latter, capital stock per mile, $37,341; bonds $35,330 total, $72,671 ; either of which is considerably below the average for the group. The ton mileage per mile of rail road is lowest in the lO'.h group, being 227,791; the )arge-t is in the second which embrace the states of New York Pennsylvania. Marvland, Drlaware and New Jersey, Wing 1,434,393. Ttie pro portions of the average in group ID car tied by the road in Oregon are as fol lows: Oregon & California, for 1S93 52,725, and for ISM, 42,932; of the Ore- gou Railway & Navigition Company for 1S93, 233,455. That year the Utah Northern & Oregon Short Line was the lessee of this line anil reported its ton mileage per mile of road, entire line 179,132. Iu group 2 the ton mileage per mile cf road for 1893 is given as 1,434, 393. The average passenger traffic of gronp 10 is given at 72,000 passengers carried annually one mile per mile of road. Tbe Oregon A California, in 1893 carried 47,454 per mile, and iu IsSH 44.S63 per mile ot road. There were carried over the lines of the Oregon Rail way & Navigition Company, in 1S93 54,561 passengers n;r nd'e nf road. Iu group 2 the number ol passengers car ried one roilo per mile of road in !S93 was 424,370. The number of passengers carried oce mile over the lines of the Oregon ltailart Navigation Company was 3S.C03.G43; in 1S93, tbe was 2M12.SIC In IS91 the ; number ntJnibe.-of :or. cf freight biuleil one) : i . 1. . - . . 1 its -. ' j u,r' l,,c " io3,o,uio, and ,!,e r3,c VCT '"" r u,i,e I cl nts. I In 13!'3 ",e number o: tons hauled one i miIe W3- 15l,C4-".Co7, and tbe rate per ton Vr mile, 1.33C cents. In the toUl j number of tons of frekht hauled one mile j bere has been a falling oU in the two Ie3rs ol 37,5S7,fJ0, and at the sime time ton per mile .f .301 cents. Tbe reduc tion obtained for the lemoval of tbe crops of 1S93 and 1S94, uhich are not included intheabovo estimates, will bring the average down very much more, and this in the face of the further fact that the tonnage and passenger traffic has con tinued to fall otT materially. The average ton mileage jer mile of rosd m the United States is 551,232, and ! ,!,e "Be rate per ton per mile. 0.S93 cents; on the Oregon Railway A Xaviga tion Compan 'a line in 1.S93 the ton mile age per mile of road was 233,455, less than one-half the average for the United States; and the rate per ton per mile, 1.336 cents. On tho Southern Pacific's lines in Oregon the ton mileage per mile of road for 1S94 was 42,942, abont one sixth the voinmo of the Oregon Railway & Navigation Cotniany, and the rate per ton per mile, 2.40 cents. Tho difference between the O.vgm Railway & Naviga tion Company's rate and that of the Southern Pacific it accounted tor on tho ground that the volumo of traffic of the former is much larger, as above set forth, and much of it through business, and the average haul ter ton Ts 223 miles, while (he average haul of thu latter is but 93 miles. A Back-Woods Boast. Tho report of Prof. Goode, of the geo logical survey, to the effect that the wild est and least known portion of the Uni ted States is tho coast range tn this state, between Roseburg and the Coqnille, led tn considerable adverse criticism from this section, remarks the Gjld Beach Gazette, and then goes on to say: "Whether true or not, one thing we do know, aud th it is right h-jro on Ito jM river wo are further removoJ from the business centers of cyen this coast than any other portion of the Union. For in stance, it takes nearly fiyo days for a business letter to roach this point from Portland, Oregon, nn:l nearly six dayB to come from San Francisco, and this point in therefore less nccessiblo from San Francisco, in point of time, than either New York or Boston, on the opposite side of the continent. And as for gotting supplias in, wo are fortuuato if wc can get them from San Francisco or Port land in a month. This leads often to nmiisiu; condition, and one of thoo is now upon w. Christm is ia here, and tho cooks are nil busy endeavoring to arrango the cxtnis for a ChristmaB dinner. But nlas and a-lack-a-day. When tho larders wero investigated re cendy all the ingredients could not bo found, and it was impossible to get them herj ou time, so our hotisewifes were put in n quandry. But they wrro equal to tho emergency. O.ie had soino radni to spare, another had plonty of milk, a third had some extra egg on hand, while another had some citron, and still othors had spices. So u conference was held, a combination was made, aud a bar ter was e Hoc tod, and whilo thoro ia no superabundanco of supplies, there iJ enough for a sample for each, and the children will get their Christmas wnoeU, whilo tho older ones will wako up tho day nfter, hunting for a box of pills to ul levlato the sufferings from an overloidcd stomach of tho day p'ovious. We may livo in tho least known section of tho Union, and the hardest to roach, hut there is not a family in Curry hut will on ChristmaB have a dinner that will bo a east compared with wh it hundro.la of thousands will eecuru in tlin host known sections of thu Union."
