A special from New York City to yesterday's Oregonian gays Harriman baa purchased tbe Corvallis & Eastern railroad. There seems to be no leasoa for doubting the truth of the report, aul it is needless to say the news causes uo great amount of rejoicing in this Yaquiua Bay country. It 'seems to knock dreams of a competing line into a cocked hat, us well as the pros pect of the C. & E. beiug pushed east through the Cascades to connect with the 0. IL & N. in Idaho. However, let's be cheerful and wait for the finish. in 1 The mayor of Ilelix, Or., kicked at a dog and hurt bis foot so badly that be bad to invest in crutches. Good I Oregon will make a 8150,000 spread at the Alaska-Yukou-PaciQo Exhibition at Seattle in 1900. We believe Jeff Myers should be placed in charge and given a chance to play even. The State Legislature will adjourn tomorrow at noou. In a few dijs it will be possible to tell just what the Legislature has done for its country. The enormous flood of bills presented has made tbe people temporarily dizzy. A few Oregon statesmen continue to gft hysterical whenever they bear any one knocking that famous "Statement No. 1." Just the same, thousands of good citizens of Oregon will continue to think there is a whole lot of hot air and buncombe in the darned thing. The direct primary law needs fixing, but is too sacred to touch. A service pension bill has been passed by Congress, under which every honor ably discharged veteran of the Civil War who erved as much as three months is entitled to receive a pension of $12 a month at the age of 62, of $15 a mouth at the age of 70, and of 130 a month at the age of 75. A provision giving survivors of the Mexican war a pension of $20 a month was incorpo rated in the bill. The commissioner of pensions estimates that the bill will eutail an additional expenditure of about 115.000,000 for the first year. Good shot ! Darn the expense ! John P. MoManus, editor of the Pilot Bock Record, who recently killed Bob Estes in a Pendleton saloon, is one of the few booze fighting editors of Or egon, lie is a brilliant writer and well educated, but for years hasn't bad sense enough to keep sober. He alleges that the tnun lie killed robbed him while he (the editor) was drunk. Mo Manus has the talent and brain that could have made him a power for good. But he has chosen to be a paradox a moulder of public opinion and a bad example. It seems quite certain that the "pen" will continue to figure in the earthly career of Editor McManue. For Rent.

Chambers, umpire. We wouldn't be surprised to see the smaller boys defeat tbe larger ones in the tiear future. An exchange circulates the following busiuess pointer : "A practical woman remarked the other day that the most interesting thiugs In a newspaper ure the. advertising columns. Long ago I quit buying of those who did not ad vertise. It always seems to me that the merchant who advertises invites me to trade with him, while the one who does not advertise impresses me with the idea that he does not care enough for my trade to ask for it. Then, too, I Have found that tho mer chant who advertises has fresher goods for the reason, I suppose, that he sells more goods." Stop that pulling apart. Stop that fighting public improvements. Get rid of that mean, jealous disposition. Harbor euough of that gray stuff to look after your own financial interests by working with your follow citizens. If your neighbor wants to sell false huir, don't hurt yourself by cutting prices. If the next door merchant wants to start a dull factory, dou't dis courage him. There is only one way to build towns: that is to pull together and do things. Eery building in towu helps to make the town; every now arrival increases the business. Wel come strangers, use paint and printers' ink, help your neighbor iu his business, glory in his success. Dou't get mad,! grouchy, huteful or jealous. Such is I the good advice given by an exchuuge, 1 notice for PUBLICATION. V. S. Land onlce, Rosehurg, Oregon, February 7, I'M)-.
