[S. F. Bulletin March 6.1
enterprise of very great iui-
! has been quietly pushed in
for several years, and is now so
far advanced that people in the vicinity
of th»road have begun to realizo what
(thc work going on means. A gentleman
who recently arrived from Ontario, in
Eastasn Oregon, there struck evidences
of railroad extensions which caused him
to make further inquiries, developing ini-
portant bets.
For some tinio the people of San F ran-
cisco have heard of die Oregon Pacific
Railread, and have regarded it merely as
a little road, sixty or seventy miles long,
running from Yaquina baj’, ono hundred
mile« south of the Columbia river, to
Corvallis on the Willamette river. When
a steamer was put on the route between
San Rrancisco and Yaquina and grain

to this port for about half the former
rates, considerable interest was excited,
which subsequently died out when it was
supposed that at Corvalis the railroad
would have its eastern terminus. It ap
pears now, however, that the little road
from Yaquiua is to be extended 500 miles
or more eastward, and it is to become the
western link of another trans continental
railroad. W ork on the extension of the
road east of Corvallis lias l»een begun,
and pileff for a bridge across the Willam
ette river between Corvallis and Albany
are being driven. It is understood that
the bridge will be of the heaviest and
most substantial character, sufficient tu
accommodate engines of about double
the weight now in use on that road.
From Albany the read will extend East,
across the Cascade range, and follow the
Malheur river to the Oregon line, pass
ing all the way through a rich country,
every mile of which is cajiable of use.
The best grazing lands in the Union arc
said to be along the Malheur river and
along the eastern border of tho State in
its vicinity. The terminus of the road
will he Boise City, Idaho, where the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad will
connect with it, forming another trans
continental line. Work lias begun on
the eastern end of this line near the Ore
gon boundary, and a large force of labor i
ers and material having been sent thither
by way of tho Oregon Short Line to On
tario. It is cx[mcted that 70 or 80 miles II
of road will be finished this season, tak
ing the lino from Albany to the Cascade
Rango. Rails are going forward by each
steamer from this port to Yaquina. Sev
eral engines and passenger cars and three
or four hundred box cars for the read
arc on the way West, and this year will
sec a very great change in railroad facili
ties. Grain elevators arc to be erected,
and a machine shop and foundry arc to
bo built, the machinery aud appliances
for the latter being made by Tatum &
Bowen of this city.
The journey to Portland or the Willa
mette valley by this route saves 250
miles of ocean travel and the danger in
crossing the Columbia river bar. The
heart of the Willamette valley is reached
at Corvallis, ahout 70 miles from Yaqui
na and 90 miles south of Portland. The
harbor of Yaquina bay is good and is be
ing improved by the construction of a
breakwater, which is deepening the chan
nel. There is now a minimum depth of
water at a low tide of 14 or 15 feet, and
on a lvilf tide there is plenty of water.
On full tide there is from 21 to 24 feet
of water. The now jetty will, it is be
lieved, add five or six feet to tho depth
of water. A hotel has been built at
Yaquina, and it has been found neces
sary to double its capacity, so great has
its pressure on accomodation become.
There is every indication of the rapid
extension and completion of the new
road, and land along its line has been
taken up in largo lots. Miller & Lux.

near the Milheur reservation, and there

Forced to Abdicate.
The insane King Ludwig of Bavaria
has been forced to abdicate. The phy
sicians appointed to examine the mental
condition of King Ludwig, have reported
that his malady incapacitates him from
governing properly. In consequence of
this, Prince Leopold, uncle to the king,
has issued a proclamation, countersigned
by the ministers, in which he assumes
the regency and summons the Bavarian
diet to meet on the 15th inst. Count
Holstein, who was instructed by the min
istry to wait upon the king and ask him
to authorize the appointment of a regen
cy council, was arrested when he entered
the castle of Hohenschwagnan. The
king also gave orders that a guard of
gendarmes be placed around the castle.
A deputation of Ministers of the Bava
rian Cabinet proceed»^ to tho Castle to
present a letter to King Ludwig from
Prince Leopold. They found the castle
locked, and they were not permitted by
tho King’s pickets to enter. The Minis
try subsequently sent a force of gend'-
armes to the castle to force an entrance
for the purpose of releasing Count Hol
stein. Gend’armes have been detailed
to preserve order among the mountain
population surrounding the castle, the
mountaineers being loyal adherents of
the King and of dangerous temper be
cause of the State’s conduct towards him.
King Ludwig remains in a most absolute
ly secluded part of the castle.

A HENDISH SECRET SOCIETY.
THE WEDDING PRESENTS.
The U. S. Grand Jury at Seattle, com
posed of farmersand laborers filed a very
sensational report on the 5th, ns the re
sult of their investigation.
In the
report aa published they claim to have
discovered indisputable evidence of the
existence of a secret society of socialists,
denominated, “Red American Industrial
Workman's Association,” and belonging
thereto is a body of men, calling them
selves “Scientific Socialists,” whose head
quarters on this coast are in San Fran
cisco. This association in all its branches
is essentially anarchsl in theory and prac
tice, the mam articles of the creed being
arson, robbery, and murder, its ultimate
purpose being the overthrow and sub-
version of the government to its nefa
rious purpose. More than a year ago,
the Pacific Coast was selected as a good
field to establish the movement and ac
cordingly branches were established at
Seattle, Olympia, Tacoma and other
t< *ns on Puget Sound. Agitation of
the Chinese question was to be made at
once us a pretext to cover the treason
able operation* of the hand of Scientific
Socialists. The labor organizations were
unknown to the main body of the mem
bers and systematically worked to cover
the treasonable objects and purposes of
the Scientific Socialists. All the disturb
ances arising during the last six months
on the Puget Sound, nominally from agi
tation of the Chinese question, were
really fomented, guided and incited by
this infamous association.
The real
aims and designs of the association have
been studiously kept from the knowledge
of the real honest workingmen of the
labor organizations, and the Jury goes
on t<> say that the Scientific Socialists, as
is declared in their secret and confiden
tial instructions sent out from the execu
tive center at San Francisco and which
we, the jury, had before us, aim to de
stroy private ownership in houses, lands,
mines, machinery and all kinds of prop-
ty, to this end they announce that when
once they ate established in power, their
first act will be to burn ail books where
in the titles of private persons in land
are recorded, etc., in a word, their doc
trines are the worst ever promulgated
and their authors ought to be severely'
punished, and the organization wiped
ollt.
The Scientific Socialists, or Red Amer
ican International Workmen's Associa
tion, are, as shown by unmistakable doc
umentary evidence before us, emanating
fiom the Secretary, Sigismund Danele-
wiiz, 715 Montgomery Avenue,Sail Fran
cisco, secretly instructing their deluded
ignorant and brutalized followers in the
means of practically applying dynamite,
how to seize Armories and military
stores, how to prevent the departure of
troops from central points, to preserve
order in the centers of insurrection and
how to imprison men of property and in
fluence, and much more to the same ef
fect. Such hideous conceptions are al
most too diabolical for belief, but the
Jury claims to have tho evidence and
we have no right to doubt their state
ment. Now tho question arises what
shall be done with such monsters'

What Constitutes Butter.
The oleomargarine bill, as it passed
the house, contains the following fea
tures: Butter is defined to be food pro
duct, made exclusively from milk or
cream, or both, with or without common
salt, and with or without additional col
oring matter. Oleomargarine is defined
as “all substances made of oleomarga
rine, oleomargarine oil, butterinc, lard-
iue, suinc and neutral; lard extracts and
tallow extracts, aud all mixtures and
compounds of tallow, beef fat, suet,
lard, lard oil, vegetable oil, annotto, and
other coloring matter; intestinal fat, and
offal fat, made in imitation or semblance
of butter, or when so made that it is cal
culated or intended to bo s<>ld as butter
or for butter.” Special taxes are im
posed as follows: On manufacturers,
$600; on wholesale dealers, $480: on re
tail dealers, $48. The existing internal
revenue laws, so far as applicable, are
made to apply to these sjiecial taxes.
Penalties are imposed on any person who
shall deal in oleomargarine without pay
ing special tax. Provision is made for
the proper stamping and labeling of ev
ery package of oleoinargine. A tax of
five cents a pound is imposed on all oleo
margarine manufactured, and a penalty
is prescribed for the purchase and recep
tion fur sale of oleomargar’nc not brand
ed or stamped according to law. A num
ber of sections of this bill are devoted
to providing machinery to carry the law
into effect.
