What a IEADE11 Reporter Saw at that luisy ami Industrious plaoe. The busiest place in Lincoln county is the Pioneer stone quarry. ! Last Saturday a Lkadek reporter visited this place and found a crane- un8. trimming ana loaaing uie st"e onto the cars, and the bustle and hurry in the works indicated that business was not at a stand still with them by any means. The Pioneer stone quarry, whose product is rapidly becoming famous on the coast, is situated about 80 rods from the main line of the Oregon Pacific road, and is con nected with the main line by a spur which runs up to the quarry, so that stone can be hoisted off the ledge and loaded onto the cars a t Oiie handling. The quarry takes its name from the old town cf Pioneer, which at an early day in the history of this country was a busy trading place, standing at the head of navigation on the river, and was considered the most im portant place on the Bay or river. The quarry was originally a part of Earnev Morrison's homestead, and was sold several years ago to a Salem gentleman by the name of Howell. In March 1S93, a com pany was organized to open up and operate the quarry. This company was composed of Salem men, and the most active members of the company are D. Rynearson, H. G. Luker, A. L, Headrick, and a Mr. Davis. The company begau at once to open up the quarry and to place the stone upon the market. The first contract ot any material size secured by them, was to fur nish stone for the new city hall at Salem. Thi3 contract was secured in the face of considerable opposi tion, as the stone was new, and its tjood qualities unknown. Besides it had been repeatedly, asserted that there was no building stone of any merit on the coast, except the Tenino, Washington stone. The Pioneer men placed their product in contest with the Tenitio stone, and wherever a test was made it was found that the Pioneer stone was superior in resistance to weight, was easier worked and took a nicer finich, and better resisted the effect of heat. Confident of these quali ties the Pioneer men began to crowd for the coast trade. A rep resentative was sent to San Fran cisco, and interviewed the builders of that city. A sample of the stone was submitted, and it was subjected to a most rigid test, for the builders of the Sunset city wanted none but the best stone in their buildings. The Pioneer stone stood the test and as a result several large contracts were secured in San P'rancisco, and large quantities of stone are being shipped there now. So important has bffome this market that a large steam schooner, the Scotia, is kept busily engaged in carrying the stone to it, and contracts are on hand now in sufficient amount to keep the Scotia running all the season. At the quarry are employed from 20 to 25 men at wages running from $1.50 to $3 per day. The quarry has a heavy steam derrick which handles great big seven and eight ton rock with greatest of ease, raising or lowering them a half inch or fifty feet, as the case might be with absolute accuracy. The engine is presided over by Sidney Wolfkill, formerly ol Yaquina, a practical engineer, and is one of the most important positions in the quarry. The new channeling ma chine has arrived and has been at work for several days. It is a most wonderful piece of machinery. It cuts a channel by means of rapidly descending chisels driven by steam, and does the work very rapidly. It seems to have many great ad vantages over the old method of blasting. The face of the ledge is kept as clean and smooth as it could be .kept if the stone were sawn Xone of the debris that is -1 . i. t.i .. atwuys prcscm iu masting is now iu the way, and it makes the work j of handling so much the easier. 1 The stone all comes out of the 1 AT THE riOXEEIt quarry with square, clean edges, and consequently the waste is com paratively nothing. The woiknieu at the quarry have been crowded during the past week in getting out the stone to load the Scotia, and have been working overtime for several days. When they get caught up they will have things better arranged and the, quarry going like clock work. There has been but one accident at the quarry since its operation, and that was the one that deprived Geo. I.ay Anaker of his life. This could hardly be attributed to the quarry either, as it occurred while sawing a log above the quarry. This accident was deeply deplored by his fellow workers, by whom he was highly esteemed. As a testi mony of their regard for the de ceased, a handsome monument is being made for him out of the stone from the quarry where he lost his life. The stone is a plain shaft ...tii. 1 1 1 1 twin ucavy uusc unci tai vcu c.tp, and will be 111 all about six feet high. On one side of the base is the deceased's name, and on another side is the three links of Odd Fellowship, entwined in which arc the mystic letters F. L. T. The deceased was an active and honored member of the Odd Fellows. The principal work on the stone is being done by Mr. David Williams, a practical stone cutter, and who was also a close friend of the deceased and is assisted by the other boys in the quarry. The work is done in odd hours when the men are not at work, and when the monument is completed all the men will con tribute a pro rata share of the cost of transporting it to Salem and setting it up over Mr. LayAnaker's grave. This is at once a hand some and most fitting testimonial of the regard of the men for their deceased comrade, and shows that under a rough coat you are almost sure to find a tender heart. The work upon this monument indicates to what use this stone can be placed. It is of a handsome solid grey, and the finish it takes is truly beautiful. When properly dressed it will present an appearance only excelled by the best granite or marble. The work at the quarry is under the supervision of Mr. II. G. Lukcr, one of the members of the com pany, and a practical stone man, and to his energetic efforts depend much of the success which is com ing to this quarry. The force of men at work there will Le kept up all summer, and will probably be increased as the quarry is opened out and room for more to work i.i made. The work is of a vast bene fit to the country as it is carried on on the present scale. It furnishes labor for a number of men, and the men say that the best part of it all is that pay day is prompt, and the filthy lucre is forthcoming. Last month something over $600 was distributed to the men. This money comes from outside our stale, and while small in .amount, will help materially to oil the wheels of trade in that vicinity. As the works increase the amount of wages will increase, and 011 the whole it will be of vast benefit to the entire locality. Mr. Morrison has leased another prospective ledge on his place to Mr. Frank Woods, of Albany. Mr. Woods has been on hands for several days and has rigged up a temporary derrick, and is cleaning off the dirt and loose rock to seek for the main ledge. Mr. Woods thinks that when he has sufficiently stripped it, that he will find a good ledge of the same formation as the Pioneer quarry. If this ledge develops properly Mr. Woods says that he has sufficient capital at his command to open it up and place it on the market. This prospective quarry is located on the main line of the Oregon Pacific, just this side of the bridge at Pioneer. If this quarry is developed it will add another industry to Pioneer, and help to forward the interests of Lincoln county. A great many practical stone men have expressed their belief that the same formation will be found in the new quarry as in the old. Mr. Woods holds a lease on bis quarry from Mr. Morrison for fifty years, but Uncle Barney laughingly says that he does not expect to see it expire. A trip to rionecr quarry is well worth the trouble of anyone. It is a busy sight to see the men at work, to see great stones hoisted and lowered like so much leathers, to see all the heavy work of the quarry done so easily, and to see cars load ?u with a Lincoln county product that the great state of California demands. It is nl o a good sight ' to sec the switch engine come up 1 after several cars loaded with rock, i You feci that the hand ofcormierce has been laid upon your land, and that it is reaching out for the pro ducts of industry for which it will return the wealth of other lands. That liape Pm-ilon. The pardon of Burleigh, the rape fiend, is creating considerable com ment in the papers of the state none of which is friendly toward Governor Pennoyer. The pardon was justified by the press dispatches, wiucu announced mai uie pi.e-c ...I..-. 1. 1 . .. cuting attorney did not believe Burleigh guilty. This has proven to be a plain, uu varnished lie, .as the following letter from Hon. S. W. Condon, iu the Oregonian of last Sunday will show. "XKWl'OKT, Or., July 1.1.-(To tho Editor.) In your Issue of tho lltn instant appeared an Item from Salem staling that ('. . Hurlck-h, convicted in Lincoln county, .May 5, WW, nf tho crime of riiiw, had Just. been pardoned by Hovcrnor reunoyer, and further stntlnpr that tho reason given hy the governor was that "tho prosocutluK attorney did not ihlnk the prisoner (fuilty." Will you nllow me space to state Ihat tho proseeu 1 1 iik attorney Unsat no tlmeuou'Mo.l the Kullt oi the scoundrel wduiui the governor has Just pardoned, His victom was a delicato child of 10 years. I have, during my two ton..-.; 01 oiuee, roeoinmeiuieu ine panion ol but ono man, and ldoslrethaKtovernorl'eunovershall have tho full credit for this last sti'ive'rslou of Justice Ilurleltth was plainly guilty, and to turn such a fiend loose upon tho people is itself a erlme. There is ellhor a mistake In the report of tho reason assigned by the govornor or a wilful misrepresentation upon the face of the record. As the governor has been abusive In his ofllelal correspondence with mo upon this sub ject. 1 deem it posslblo that he has not been overly scrupulous In this feature of the matter. SsvmoukW, Condon." We are also in receipt of a pri vate letter from Mr. Condon, in which in equally strong and em phatic terms he refutes the coward ly, sneaking, unmanly odium made upon him by the governor and slates his position in no unmistak able language. In this connection we wish to offer a full and complete apology to Mr. Condon for the im putation laid upon him iu the Leadek last week. .We have been an ardent and personal ad mirer of Mr. Condon's fearless administration of the affairs of his office, and the report that he had recommended the pardon cf Bur leigh came like a shock to us. We are more than glad to make ample and public amends to Mr. Condon. We qualified our reflection upon him by the expressed statement that until further proof was forth coming we would not believe him guilty of so contemptible an act, and it gives us great happiness to be able to say that Mr. Condon is wholly blameless for the dastardly act. In the Oregon Ian of Tuesday last Governor Pennoyer's excuse is changed to the following: "In tlio matter nf the application for a pardon for Cyrus W. llurlclKh, sentenced In tho peni tentiary for lire years at the May torm of court for Lincoln county, for tho crl of iitioinpted niS' on the ierson of Mcnmt Mali, I lrlh, I will say that I have the atlldnvlt of Huium 1 Irish, the father of the child, (lint she lias been sub ject to Ills of menial alieiTall. n for years, and also theallldavlt of of Imlsy Irish, I. I'm wife, and the stepmother of Urn girl. In which she states tlKtKlitit.iiNhep.nl Co iliii.l aceusi) her ou lather of having criminal Intercourse with her. I have also the allhlavlt of Catherine Hurlelgh, wile of Cyrus W. IPtP IkIi, that her husband is 'a yoars of atfo, and lhat he hus l oon I n potent lor inor thnn a veur. 1 ul o havii Illy slate n ent if John Kel-av, rltorn y for tho said It'll li-U'h on the trial, that th.3 said Hurlelirh testified during the trial as to his Impntencv. It appears to me that If tl.e courts sentence l;n-I'-iViil old men to the penitentiary for rape on the unsupported testimony of crazy girls, It Is a proper case for executive clemency." And so the governor saw fit to pardon a tape fiend upon the affi davit of the above persons. Had Pennoyer investigated this matter at all, he would have found that the girl's father and stepmother have been, and were living at the time of the commission of the crime, in a tent near Mary'n river bridge at Corvallls, and common report says that the tent was a house of ill-fame and the girl's father was a runner for it. Previous to this they had run a similar house in the city of Albany. The man Burleigh also has a bad reputation. As to Judge Kclsay, he simply stated what the prisoner testified to. And that is the way Pennoyer pardons criminals and defeats justice. A ten-year-old child is outraged by a fiend in human form, and the governor goes to the houses of ill repute to seek justifi cation for pardoning the guilty wretch. From the governor's own statement ot the case he is wholly unjustified. I'or defeating justice and refusing the protection of law to the children of tender year, Pennoyer should be placed in Burleigh's empty cell and the sen tence of the court trebled. Number 20. Receiver Clark has scored a de cided victory over ex-superintend ent Mulcahy. A year ago Mr. Mulcahy took an excursion out over the bar and showed them the whales spouting and playing. Mr. Clark has no ship to make outside excursions with, so not to be be hind he made arrangements to bri-ig the whales inside. So last Sunday when the beach was lined j with strollers and the surf full of joyous bathers two large black whales made their appearance coming over the bar promptly on time, and drawing, about fifteen feet of water. The bathers took a notion the water was too chilly when they seen the monsters of the deep headed up the bay, so they promptly vacated. The whales came on up by the south channel and rounded the upper buoy away nearly up to the head of the gov erument works, then slowly passed down the north channel next to Newport, g'.V!"g Hip crowd a fine view of them as they leaped and sported in the water. After being in the Bay about an hour they passed out over the bar and dis appeared. Mr. Clark is to be coin-" mended for his enterprise in secur-' ing these novelties for the excur sionists. While the great strike is to be greatly deplored by all good citizens, still there will be a gieat number of valuable lessons taught by the trouble that the people would have learned no other way. One lesson learned is that the law is supreme, and that the government is able and willing to uphold it and. put down disorder; and iu connection with this it has been plainly and amply demonstrated that the time has fully come to shut the gates of Castle Garden, or in other words to shut off the great stream of foreign immigration that is flowing to our shores. In another way it has shown the grasping and crushing propensities of the railroad cor porations as nothing else could do. It has placed them in the full light of the public gaze, and the result will be some good, wholesome leg islation restricting and controlling them. The rights of both labor and capital will be nioro fully de fined and better understood. Out of all this turmoil will come a better understanding and a more thorough respect from all parties. The loss has been great, but we fully be lieve that the gain to the common , good of our country will be fully as ' great. j .Kit. ' ' A Good Enterprise. Representative John Daly is at work upon a scheme to open up a road to Prineville and eastern Ore gon. His idea is to construct the Oregon Pacific sixteen miles further into the mountains and then it will only take ten miles of wagon road to be built to connect with a good wagon road to Prineville. The first twelve miles of railroad neces sary to construct is already graded an 1 is ready for the lies and Iron,' and the former are already on the ground. The latter four miles would have to be graded, but there is a good grading outfit on the ground to do the work. If this stretch of sixteen miles of proposed ' road can be gotten from out of the , Oregon Pacific muddle there are men with money ready to construct" it and put it in operation. Of course at this time the scheme is in its inception and nothing may come of it. The benefits to be de rived would be manifold. It would bring Prineville within fifty miles of a railroad and shipping point, whereas its trade and shipping goes to The Dalls, 136 miles away. It can be readily seen that the whole trade of the basin of Kastern Ore-! gon would come over the Oregon Pacific. One can scarcely realize the immensity of this trade. The wool shipments alone that would come over the road, is asserted by some to be so great that it' would keep a steamer busy between Ya quina and .San Francisco. The construction of this short link of sixteen miles would complete a chain that would place the O. P. and tributary country on its feet. We sincerely hope for the success of tho enterprise.
