GOOD NEWS.
Articles of incorporation have
been filed in Salem for the Corvallis
and Eastern Railroad, and this
simple announcement means more
to the people of Oregon than any
similar one made for many years.
It means the extension eastward of
fha m-papnt O. C. & E. road which
VUU pvw-
will be absorbed by the newer
nomDanv The men who We doing
this are not the kind who make
f.,i;v, m Tuimnsfiless moves, but
. iuuiidu v r i
tiiev mean business, and work may
rr tA extension in the
jui-Lj iu v in-'- v -
arvrinff'.
The road is already graded
around the Cascade summit, and
v'A. fa nnlff nhnnt 25 miles to
10 .
crrade between the present finished
grade and the summit. From there
to the Deschutes river is a compar
i;j ooor Brade. and from the
an y J v"- J n '
Deschutes the road will branch in
two directions from the main line.
One branch will run south through
Klamath Lake, and other countries,
and join the Central Pacific at
Winamucka. The other branch
will run north to the Columbia and
rvcr-hana strike - Pendleton, while
the main line will probably be con
t?nnor to Snake river. This of
course is only conjecture, but it is
what has been talked of and is
most likely to occur.
All we are specially interested in
now is the the fact that the road is
to be built, and built at once.
A new line will be built from
Albany to connect with the Astoria
and Columbia River railroad; or
what is more likely for the pres
entarrangements will be made
with the present S. P. line so as to
give the road an outlet at Astoria
as well as at Yaquina bay. The
headquarters of the company and
the-main offices will probably be
located at Albany, but the terminus
will be at Corvallis, as the' name
indicates. . -" "
The Corvallis and, Eastern rail
road is no scheme to enhance
property values; it means square
work. The road will be built; the
money is on hand to do it with, and
supplernentary articles will be filed
later on, detailing more specifically
the work, as soon as the plans are
completed.
For Yaquina bay this will be a
grand thing; although she will
have to divide the business with
Astoria, yet her legitimate part of
it can never be taken . away from
. her.. Yaquina bay possesses natural
advantages of location, and others,
that will keep her in front for all
time. As Mr. Hammond says, in
another place, "Ships may not load
for foreign ports there but the
coast trade will all be done through
Yaquina."
The Alaska trade will soon be
immense, all their provisions and
other supplies will be supplied by
Oregon, and most of it by the
Willamette valley, through Ya
quina bay.
The present railroad stir will
call attention to Yaquina from all
over the country. Just now there
is immense preparation making in
every town and hamlet in the
union to go to Alaska. Most of
those who come to the coast will
never go back east, and Oregon is
likely to add 100,000 to her popula
tion in the next three years.
Lincoln county, and particularly
Yaquina bay, ought to have her
full share of these, for there is no
more desirable place to live in
Oregon. Lines of steamers suitable
for the harbor will be built, the
harbor improvements will be con
tinued, for there is no possibility
of the government allowing that
place to be neglected permanently.
In the meantime property will
be increased, in value, and the
Yaquina bay people are nearer
the realization of their hopes than
they have been for many a weary
day. It is good news, and we be
lieve it all to be true; the road east
will undoubtedly be built.
Another thing Yaquina may de
pend on is that when the road
reaches Eastern Oregon the visitors
to the bay in summer will be mul
tiplied by 10. A syndicate will
build a big hotel there, and one in
the mountains, so that in the sum
mer time the valley - people will!
flock to the hill, and the hill people
to the coast, and the passenger
fares on these alone will pay ten
per cent, a year on the cost of the
road.v All this is not only possible
but probable.
The road will be built. The
Capital Stock is $2,500,000, and
Mr. Hammond is of course at its
head. The Albany Democrat says,
with authority, that Mr. Ham
mond will go to" work on it as soon
as the Astoria road is finished,
which will be next month.
DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT'.
MOTHER.
Canton, O., Dec. 12. Mrs. Nancy
Allison McKinley passed from this
life at a few minutes past 2 o'clock
this (Sunday) morning, with all
her children and other immediate
relatives at her bedside. She did
not suffer any in her last hours,
bijt gradually passed from the deep
palsied sleep, in '' which - she had
rested almost constantly for the
past 10 days, into the sleep
death.
The home life jf Wm. McKinley,
the boy, is all told in the following
words:
When Nancy Allison was 19 she
married, most fortunately, a man
not only whom she loved, but one
actuated by the same principles of
integrity, thrift and industry as
herself. For 67 years they lived
in peace and happiness together
brought up eight sturdy children
and' "Never," said Mrs. McKinley
her face illumined with happy re&
oiiections, "aid a harsh word pass
between us. We worked hard, our
means were moderate, our children
many, and we determined to give
them every advantage in our power,
Their bringing up was left to me
My authority was undisputed, and
never once, even to this day, has it
been questioned. My husband was
a firm advocate of woman's rights
before it had many supporters
TT . 1 I 1 . i i. m
xxe snowea nis practical oeiiet in
the theory by accepting as a matter
of course the fact that my particu
lar realm should never be invaded.
The home life of Wm. McKinley
the man and president, is an - in
spiration and a poem It is the
clean, life of a Christian gentleman
and all men are made better by
contemplating it. There are thous
ands of just such lives in the land
but their beauty is unknown except
in the circles in which they move,
It is therefore cause for congratula
tion that we - picked our president
from such a home; a home where
the -a. rays . can discover nothing
but beauty and peace.
The Christmas days are approach
ing, and the Christmas feeling is in
the air. At no other season of the
year do people feel so kindly toward
each other, and the prevailing de
sire is 10 give sometning to some
body. Don't try to keep it down
i tr. j
""o gwu ieeiing prevail and
grow. Give something to somebody
and taste of the happiness it gives
to do good or to make some one
happy. Seek out some unfortunate
man or woman to whom the world
is dark, and do some little thing to
Drighten their lives. If ever v bod v
would do just one thing to brighten
one life on that day, there would be
filing a di n J il
-v" """giug m me air as never
was known. You know some poor
unfortunate fellow who needs a pat

OREGON'S PROSPECTS.
Probably never in the history of
uregon did everything look more
prosperous than at the present time,
A trip through the Willamette val
ley will convince any one of this fact,
ii is estimated that there are four
acres of winter wheat this year to
one acre last year. , This may be
somewhat exaggerated, but that
there is an immense amount sown
there is no doubt.
The crop 8 looking exceedingly
weu ana promises to be very larsre
This has been brought about by the
good price which wheat has brought
mis year, thus stimulating the far
mer to greater effort for a large har
vest another season. What ia t.rn
of wheat is also true of hops, oats,
hay, cattle, sheep, hogs, and even
horses are being sought for, and, if
found, good prices would be paid,
ar.d looking for a good 1600-pound
team is like looking for the provbial
needle in the hay stack. Rural

. fusion. : : . .-,
Fusion is in the air, and union
on. all sorts of schemes' and plat
forms iwitl be the business of polit?
cal steerers from now - until next
June. "The - populist authorities
have met and decided they will not
fuse with the free silver Bryan
platform democracy, but admit
their willingness to fuse on the ref
erendum, populistic money, and the
Omaha platform. The free silver
schemers" are trying to : fuse all
manner and condition of men on
the old 16 to 1 plank, but before
the robins mate all of them will be
bunched together to defeat sound
money; don't for an instant doubt
it, they are playing off and on now
only for position, and that will be
arranged to the satisfaction of all
parties. The populists as usual
will hold the sack, as they have
been doing for -Pennoyer and his
gang for the last few years, - but
they will fuse.
THE RAILROAD EXTENSION.
In another column we give an in'
tefview with Mr Hammond, an ex
tensive comment by the Oregonian
on the extension of the O. C. & E.
R. R. to an Eastern connection as
was at first contemplated. There
never was serious doubt, that some
how,' sometime, by somebody, this
would be done. We doubt if there
is now in the United States so large
a district of fertile country rich in
natural resources without a rail
road; and selfish personal interests
at both ends of the line are largely
responsible for this condition.
The people of Portland were
afraid that traffic would be diverted
from the Columbia river, and the
large stock raisors in Eastern Ore
gon were afraid that development of
the country would ruin their busi
ness. ' '
But now. the road is in the hands
of a fearless man who knows his
business and is simply able to carry
out his plans, and he will ask no
instructions or help from Portland
or Eastern Oregon when he deter
mines to build the road. The first
time Mr. Hammond says positive
ly the road will be built, it is cer
tain that it will be done.
It will make no difference as he
says, if the heavy traffis is divirted
at Albany toward the Pnl
river; there will still be plenty of
business for Yaquina Bay. At all
events the route will be kept open
and maintained, the harbor Trill be
improved, and the people at the bay
who have waited so long and so
patiently may be nearer the realiza
tion of their hopes than they think

G. M. Irwin,
State Sup't Pub. Instruction
To Boys. : "
Boys, how often have you heard your
father and mother say to strangers that
yon were smart, and quick to learn? and
then how you tingled all over with pride,
as you heard it. Well, the next time
you hear your father say that, if he is 40
or over, just ask him how many of the
smart boys he knew made successful
men. His reply will astonish you. It
is the smart boys who generally make
failures of their lives, simply because
they depend on their smartness to carry
them through, and it won't do it. This
world is not in need of smart peopleV but
it is sadly in need of good people, helpful
people, unselfish people; people "who
will make it easier and brighter for
everybody. So if you want to get to the
front, never mind your smartness, but
just begin now and with all your might
etrive every hour of your life to get a
good character. When you get that,
then your place is secured in the world,
and no one can ever take it from ' you
Nowj ask your father if he ever knew a
man who had a good character to make a
failure of his life, and be will tell you no.
Of course I don't count success the ac
cumulation of money, or lands, or wealth
of any kind, for a man may be a no
torious rascal and have all these ; and a
man may lead a glorious, successful life
and have none of them. Most of the
great men of the world died poor. '
Then you often hear a fond father say,
"I am going to give my boy an education
if it takes every cent I have." Well,
education is a grand thing and every bojf
ought to have one, and smartness is also
a grand thing, and clever boys ought to
be thankful for jt, not proud about it,
for they bad nothing to do with it. But
education and smartness are not essential
to either a nappy or a useful life. Char
acter is essential,-and I don't care how
smart you are, or how much education
you get, if you have no- character, . or a
bad character, they are not only useless
but they increase your misery.
A boy is badly handicapped in this
world without an education, but he is
infinitely worse without a character. An
education is just a means, not an end. It
is a glorious help, so is , smartness, but
it will serve but to drag you down if your
character is not good.
Boys, I want to impress upon you the
fact that there is no future foi you without
you have a good character. You may
trick your way through the world, but
jou will be the worst tricked one of the
lot. You have seen tricky people suc
ceed in gathering wealth, no doubt, but
you never saw one of them happy unless
ne was arunK. &o don't reJy upon your
smartness or education entirely, but say
to yourself, I will be a man, and then
devote all your life to getting a good
character, and keeping it, and you 1 need
not bother about your success, that is
certain.

ian will give you all the news of the
state, the nation and the world, while
the Union will give, you all the county
news, and in no other way can you pos
sibly get this so cheap. The Oregonian
needs no recommendation at our bands.
and the UNION, too, speaks for itself.
We wish to say one thing with reference
to ourselves. Enemies of the UNION
are circulating the report that it is only a
temporary affair, and will not last. This
is false. We have the best newspaper
office in the county; it is entirely out of
debt and is already on a paying basis.
It came here to stay, and the encourage
ment we have already received has
placed its future success beyond a doubt.
Its subscription price alone is $i a year,
in advance, or $1.75, in advance, will get
the Weekly Oregonian and the Union
for one year to one address. Send in
your names at once, as congress will
meet soon, and important measures will
