, It appears evident that the people's
line of boats between this city and
Portland is about to encounter a war of
opposition from the Union Pacific com
pany that means, so far as the manifest
intention of the company is concerned,
a war of extermination. The company
is purchasing nearly all the wheat ar
riving in this market through its Moody
agency, at prices that no middleman
can afford to give and rather than let
the Regulator get any of it the road will
carry it for nothing. Now the passen
ger rate has been reduced to fifty cents
to Portland, and the freight rates will
undoubtedly soon be cut. This will be
of great benefit to the farmers, who
will reap all the profit, but it cannot
last always. If the new line of boats is
compelled to run at a loss who will foot
the bills? If the boats are run off the
river as all others hitherto have been,
who will build another line? If the peo
ple's line is "obiiged to shut down because
it cannot pay expenses what is the use
of opening the Columbia river? We
don't need portago roads if the public
wont support them. There is not a
farmer who hauls wheat to this market
who is not benefited from four to
eight cents a bushel by the fact of the
. liegulutor being in existence and yet
how many of them are willing today to
sacrifice a quarter of a dollar to keep
her on the river. A gentleman of this
city in no way connected with wheat
buying informs us that out of twelve
loads of wheat brought to Rockland last
Saturday Moody got ten for the paltry
consideration of half a cenl a bushel
more than Smith offered, which scarcely
amounted to an average of twenty cents
a load ! Is it jossible that this is an in
dex of the prevailing sentiment among
I the farmers of Klickitat county? Do
they value twenty cents more than an
open river? If the manifest intention
of the Union Pacific to kill off the Regu
lator should succeed what will such men
think of themselves when freight rates
back to old prices and grain takes a
.corresponding tumble? It the people
desire that the Dresent low rates of
freight be maintained they must support
the Regulator and account every man
who does not n u enemy to the
jfonntrv, ... -
HUIEl' STATE SKWS,
Tuesday morning while "Billie" Sims
". was melting' some axle grease in order
to reduce it for lubricating purposes in
the "bunk house" at Shirley'B stock
farm northeast of Union, it boiied over
on the stove and ignited. The flames
nipidly spread beyond the control of
those- present. The entire building
with its contents consisting principally
of bedding and the working men's
clothes, was burned. The loss is about
$1200. This is the fourth time his bunk
house lias been consumed.'. The wind
was fortunately blowing in a direction
away from . the other buildings, other
wise" they would have been destroyed.-r-Jlepublican.

The action, of the Chamber of;.Com
merce in adopting the Paul Mohr line
may result in a portage road being built
sooner than it could be accomplished in
anv other. w;;y. However desirable it
may be to hiiye this work done speedily
still a little saving of time will prove a
poor compensation for work done in a
manner that may eventually do more
harm than. good. The corporation
whose' proposition to do the work has
been accepted has a capital stock of
$1,000,000, and, the people of Portland
when they raise the $300,000 will hold
that amount of the capital stock. As
the estimates show that the work can be
done for 00,000, there is abont fifty
per cent, water in the stock to start on".
It js simply giving a railway and navi-
. gation miupany a cinch on the whole
thing. Who will own it ten years from
now is just as uncertain as any other
event, but that it will' never materially
.interfere with the railroads in handling
the crops of Eastern Oregon is attended
with - very little certainty. Portland

A people's paper is for the people. A

people's paper can tell what all parties

demand of intelligence. Bradford Record.
Alcohol Claims Another Victim.
A- man named N. S. Groves' was found
yesterday morning lying' dead on-the
logs at the end of one of the docks be
longing to the Willamette Steam Mill
company and Manufacturing company,
Portland. Groves had been employed
as an advertising solicitor for the Oregon
Express and Alliance Farmer. The evi
dence tended to show that he, fell a dis
tance of twenty feet, presumably while
intoxicated, and his head struck the
sharp edge of a square-hewn long leavr
ing a ghastly wound. There was no ev
idence of foul play.
Frank Melbourne, the Australian rain
maker, tested his experimenting at
Goodland, Kan., on Friday. To the
committee of citizens who he had been
under contract to, he explained that the
nights counteracted all Jhe work he did
during the day, and that it was useless
for him to experiment further. Since
his experimenting began northwestern
Kansas has had more rain than ever
fallen before, and all the people are sat
isfied with his explanation. At a mass
meeting of citizens Melbourne was
asked to submit a proposition for water
ing the forty counties in western Kan
sas, and he offered to do it for 10 cents
for each cultivated acre. There were
this year 2,000,000 acres under cultiva
tion in the counties which it is proposed
to water. i
Seventeen Pinkerton men have been
arrested in West Virginia for invading

Metal Protected by Oil.
If the method of charging cottonseed
oil with lead, which is said to have been
discovered, is found practicable, the
value of that abundant product will be
greatly increased. The process as at
present defined is of the utmost simplic
ity. One gallon of pure cottonseed oil
is placed in a suitable iron vessel, into
which twenty pounds of molten lead, are
poured. After a thorough stirring the
lead separates into globules, and when
the oil has been poured off. after cooling,
there is found to be about seventeen
pounds of lead, the remainder having
been absorbed by the oil.
tithe lead being again melted and
the operation repeated to' the' fifth pour
ingthe amount of lead absorbed being
less at each succeeding pouring the
total amount of lead absorbed is about
ten pounds. The oil thus charged with
lead is then used as a paint, being ap-.
plied in the ordinary way to metallic
surfaces. It is claimed that this liquid,
which adheres closely and becomes very
bard, is especially nseful in protecting
metals from oxidation or corrosion.

. Killing an Artist's Pet.
' . A little story is told of Du Maurier,
the well known artist of Punch, the
Englishman's materialized idea of wit,
humor and burlesque. The artist lives
in a beautiful country home near Lon
don, and one of his pet views is from his
study window across his own lawn out
beyond to the landscape surrounding
Harrow. An American, of. America to
the west, recently visited him for a day,
and Mr. Du Maurier was showing his
guest about the place.
"There," he said, coming to his favor
ite window, "is the prettiest thing of
alL That is Harrow."
Tho American looked out for a minute
or two.
"Harrow?" he said inquiringly.
"Yes," repeated the artist, "Harrow. "
"Is that so?" questioned the visitor.
"Well, now, do yon know, I took it for
a lawn mower.1'
And he wasn't joking,' either. lie had
overlooked the landscape entirely, and
was looking at an agricultural machine
on .the - lawn, and the artist's heart was
broken.--Detroit Free Press. '
Queer Superstitions.
If you pay out money on Monday morn-'
ing you will pay out money all the rest
of the week. It is unlucky to spill salt
at the table, and to rub a hunchback
will bring luck to any immediate project
you have in view. To leave the house
and then suddenly return to it is consid
ered a bad omen. This is a very old su
perstition, but a common one with us.
Laodamia refers to it in her letter to
Protesilaus, after he had left for- the
Trojan war.
Some years ago 1 asked a neighbor to
haul a dead horse from the premises.
He declared that if he did bo one of his
own horses would die within the year.
I reasoned him out of' the superstition
and he removed the horse. Strange to
say, one of the span of horses which he
used for the purpose died shortly after
ward. Philadelphia Ledger.
A three year old child died' at Tope
Kan., the other day, which had lived"
for twelve months on raw eggs and
milk. A year ago it ate some soft soap,
and after that its stomach would never
retain anything but the diet mentioned.
