EXTRAVAGANCE IN RAILROAD
MANAGEMENT.
It is a poor compliment to the manage
. merit of the Union Pacific Railway Co.,
that 120 cars of -wheat, on an average ;
are daily shipped from the Walla Walla
country to eastern markets and the
shippers ot that wheat-arej-able to pay-;
tnree centa-per DtraneT more for it than
can the buyers for the Portland market.
In other words, the Union Pacific exact
. three cents per bushel more for carrying
wheat from Walla Walla to Portland, a
distance of about two hundred miles, than
does the Northern Pacific for carrying it
t nearly ten times that distance. Is it
possible that the Northern Pacifie are
doing this business for the pleasure of
taking it from . the hands of the Union
Pacific, or is the Union Pacific simply
choking its own throat in an attempt to
swallow all the profits of wheat raising?
With a country, naturally tributary to
this road which, with the least encourage
ment in the world, can give it all the
freight btmmeHH it can handle with
double its present rolling, stock, with a
people to deal with who are not less in
telligent, enterprising and fair than the
inhabitants of other states, it makes no
effort to encourage settlement within its
. natural territory, and is regarded by its
patrons as their most powerful enemy
and unmerciful master. The entire
population along the portions of its road
in Oregon and Washington are today
aroused as never before to resist what
neems to thein the efforts of this corpo
ration to drive tliem from their farms
and their homes. Their apprehensions
may be and perhaps are overdrawn in a
measure, but the plain, indisputable fact
nevertheless remains that its rates are
" disproportionate to those of other roads
and that little or no profit ia left to the
producers when their products are
marketed. So strong has become the
feeling against the company that when
it appears an a litigant liefore the courts
' the average jury of farmers can not be
, led to see any merit in its claim, and it
is notorious that all that is necewary for-
tu opposing party is. to make a case
sufficiently strong to go to the jury in
order to prevail. So strong is the feeling
that the company are capable of injustice
alone, that most men deem it entirely
' legitimate to avail themselves of any and
every opportunity to get even ; to steal
from the company and to aid others in
stealing from it, are deemed proper
means of revenge with men otherwise
honest ; in fact it has about as few friends
-among its patrons as had the secession
ists in New England when Sumpter fell.
This condition of affairs may be a necess
ary result of operating a railroad but we
do not understand why it should be so
. any more than in the carrying on of any.
other large enterprise. Under the
present exactions upon producers of this
country there is nothing to encourage
the further settlement of the country and
i the absence of such settlement the
business of the road can not increase ;
the bitter prejudice and enmity will
.grow until a union among the producers
is cemented strong enough to enable
them to open the Columbia to naviga
tion and thus break the bonds in which
this company now holds the commerce
of the country. -
Our friends at Hood River send up a
bitter wail over the death of the Cas
cade county bill, and take occasion to
censure Representative Johnston and
some of our citizens most severely be
cause of their opposition. We plead
Kilty to the change, that the.; people of
the eastern portion of the county op
posed the bill, and we presume a consid
erable portion of the inhabitants of the
territory of the proposed new county
would do the same. It was the opposi
tion of the people of Cascade Locks com
bined with the general feeling in the
legislature against the creation of new
counties that defeated the bill. Had we
of The Dalles maintained an armed neu
trality, he opposition of the people of
Cascade Locks would have killed the
bill ; and had not the sentiment of the
people of The Dalles been grossly mis
represented by the Hood River advo
catesjof the bill it is probable that no
direct opposition would have been made
here. We think the people of what
would have been Cascade county have
themselves and not Representatives
Johnston and Welch, or our citizens, to
thank that Cascade .county is not a
countv. '
In selecting ex-Governor Chas. Foster
of Ohio for the treasury iortfolio, Presi
dent Harrison has reaffirmed his belief
in the general principles of the Republi
can party. Foster in a strong advocate
of a protective tariff and is a representa-
tive republican . in ' all other respects,
He is a firm, conservative- financier and
his appointment gives assurance that
the policy of his predecessor will be
closely followed. : . '.'""- '''-V v..'
. From Pendleton and Walla Walla to
Astoria the proposition to open the river
by a private corporation results 'with
strong encouragement. This Is the only
sure method of getting the work done
within the.next decade. As long as the
railway companies can obstruct legisla
tion, as they now seem to be able to do,
the river will remain obstructed. ". '
HOW TO RUN A NEWSPAPER.
Chicaoo. Feb. 11. Judge Blodgett
has on hearing in the United States Dis
trict Court a litigation to determine
what part of the capital stock of the
Chicago Times is fraudulent. . The case
is a relic of the time when James J. West
ran a brief but brilliant course as editor
Kof the pajer'. i ' .
Among tlic evidence introduced today
was an interesting letter written bv
West to one of the stockholders during
the following extract is taken as show
ing the policy of the editor : . ,
..It is the-province of a newspaper to
make them fear -rather than to make
them love. A goody-goody paper won't
fay and never has paid. What I would
ike to do here is to raise hell from- one
end of this city to the other, and that is
the best way to win friends and make
them useful to us. -. My wife saya-l have

The legislature ought to have author
ized the construction of a portage rail
way at The Dalles. Had it enacted a
proper ' assessment law, this railway

would not have felt the outlay. The
next legislature could have ordered the
construction of a transfer boat, which
Could be built in ninety days, and the
proDiem wouia nave been solved. But
where one. .member was ready . to urge
immediate action, two or three were
always, at hand to fill every , proposition
fnll of obstacles. No spur to action was
sharp enough to'overcome the stolid . re
sistance of inertia and hesitation, the
customary disposition and inclination to
postponement and delay. But the de
mand for this measure is not to be
silenced. It will increase to a storm,
will rise to whirlwind, and will sweep all
before it. A beeinninsr of this work a
work that the people willsurelv Mnstst

UadoaSi Kia;h Death BU. -Not
for a long period has the death
rate, in London been so alarming as it
waa last week, when, owing to the fog
and cold combined, 'it reached the high
figure of 26 per 1,000. Thia is an in-1
ereaee of 5 or 6 per 1,000 on the returns
for recent weeks, and how great the
leap is may be judged from the fact that
jn recent years the rate has averaged
only about 19 per -1,000. The weather
has chiefly Affected those with; weak
lungs. The registrar general shows that
deaths from diseases of the respiratory
organs increased by nearly 800 during
the week, and reached, the unusual total
of .758, or nearly 80Q more . than the av
erage .for thia time of year. The mor
tality is not so great in London as in
Preston, where the death rate has gone
up in a week from 33.2 per 1.000 to 61.8.
But the average for the great towns is
only 25.1, and London is on the wrong
side of thai; figure. London News.
. Bandaome Shade Troea.
; Orange trees in fall bearing are as nu
merous as ordinary shade trees in the
streets of some inland Florida cities and
towns. It is a common sight- just now
to see the sidewalks lined with trees well
loaded with the golden fruit, which' no
body takes the trouble to pluck. The
oranges seem to be as large and fine aa
any which command $2 per box in the
orchards. The real reason why the fruit
is neglected is that most of it is sour and'
often bitter. Oranges which grow wild
and which are not carefully cared for by
a cultivator are poor fruit, and Florida
people don't think it worth while to take
them off the trees. But no sight could
be more attractive to northern eyes than
that of the public walks shaded by the
deep green foliage of the orange trees, in
which the ripe fruit glistens like apples
