Tha Union Pacific system, although
bankrupt . and practically moribund so
far as it has capacity to pay its debts,
shows some spasm of life in its endeavor
to crush out the competition placed upon
the Columbia river from The Dalles to
Portland. Certain progressive people at
The Dalles constructed steamers for the
. two water divisions between there and
Portland and were ready for business,
even before the portage road, under-'
taken by the state was completed. The
"boats have been operating some six or
seven weeks on a freight schedule about
one-third less than that of the Union
Pacific, and. have been doing a good bus
iness at that rate. In order not to dis
turb the rail rates the U. P. started a
boat to complete with the competing
boats ; but the public too well aware of
the nature o.f the cats-paw accommoda
tion proposed, woulil have nothing to do
with it, at the Urates named by The
Dalles boatmen; they adopted the alter
' native of obtaining a willing Jool in the
person of a son of Ex-Gov. Moody to
buy up the wheat and other freights of
fering at that end of the route, giving
him carte blanche to buy', no matter at
what rate, but to get it awaj from their.
' competitors. This is denied by the min
ions of the Union Pacific but it is the
unquestioned truth as it ?s the familiar
tactics of railroad corporations and we
are cognizant.of a previous undertaking
of the same nature by the same corpora-
lion'.' Now comes the times that try
men's souls.. The clash, between the
farmers' avarice to obtain a faction more
' -of, a cent per bushel for this wheat from
tbe conipany in attrition with the ample
"knowledge he has, that if it were not for
the rival line he could not approximate
such a price by six or eeven cents per
bushel, produces a strain on the average
granger that is harassing of sou1. In
most cases if we are to judge from the
account made by The' Dalles papers
avarice wins, and the competing boats
-will soon be left in the vocative ; mono
poly will triumph, and the investors in
the Keg'ulator and The Dalles will curEe
the day they ever undertook to benefit
an untankfnl cummunity. Sunday Wel
come. The Salem Journal would like to know
by what authority the superintendent of
the penitentiary compells the two pris--oners
who sometime ago cut their hands
off to avoid wovk, to drag a heavy piece
vf Iron in the prison yard, so many
hours n day, The Journal intimates
that the punishment is not constitu
tional. Ueally it, is too bad that- the
gentlemen referred to should be put to
so much inconvenience as is involved in
dragging an iron bar two or three hours
a day.- Primarily it is the state that is
to blame for the fact that those gentle
men -were obliged to cut their hands off.
They had never been brought up to work,
and were therefore obljged in self-protection
to do as they did. And now that
they are disabled they should be fur
nished with luxurious divands and col
ored servants. . This is what they wanted
all the time and the hand chopping
business was simply the way .they had of
telling it. O, yes! The action of the
-. superintendent is unconstitutional.
The Union Pacific's scheme to cripple
. the Regulator by purchasing all the.
wheal sold at North Dalles will be quite
expensive before it is all through with.
.The high price paid there hits attracted
a large proportion of the wheat that
would otherwise have gone to Columbus
and the company will probably conclude
before long that they have all the 826
cent wheat they want. The privilege of
hauling every bushel of such wheat must
cost the Union Pacific at' least the
amount of the freight between Colum
bus and Portland ; that is lfthe company
was not fighting the' Regulator here it
could get this wheat at Columbus, from
the regular shipper, who would pay the,
regular rate to Portland. The rotten
bankrupt concern is paying, dearly for
its whistle. ' .-.'- ,

Fatal Accident at Weston. j
Thurday morning a one-armed man
named Sutton was found nearly dead at
Weston. The morning before he went
to Athena with two traveling men from
Milton. 'He visited several Athena
saloons' and left town in an .intoxicated
condition about 6 o'clock in the evening.
When within the city limits of Weston
the rain and darkness caused him- tp
lose the road and , the rig . went over - an
embankment,. Sutton was fatally hurt
by the fall and died at Weston Friday
about noon from the effects of - his inju
ries. He was not seen, until' the morn
ing after the accident, when passing
school . children discovered 'him ana
notified the marshal. The; deceased had
run a livery at Milton for some years
and ,is wellknown in that neighborhood.
He was 38 years old and. leaves a young
wife and one child.
It has leaked out that Mrk Andrew
Carnegie has imported a fourteen-gallon
keg of choice Scotch whisky and sent it
to the executive mansion. If the whisky
doesn't leak out likewise there ought to
be no complaint from any quarter. Mr.
Harrison's rehumatiz must be rather
bad this fall, when he needs liniment in
such large, quantities, for it is well
known no Presbyterian elder could have
any other use for the stuff that would
make l, 120 flowing bowls, by actual
count, if it fell into the hands of an un
godly man. Ben'll be meaner'n pulsey,
though, if he doesn't let Blairle have a
nip now and then when mornings are
foggy. Si. Paul Pioneer Press.

The people of Chicago owe an eighth
more on mortgages than all the farmers
of Kansas, and $42,000,000 more than all
the farmers of Iowa. The Chicagoans
are using the money borrowed and ex
pect to find it profitable. If an orator
should get up and tell them they are
downtrodden they would ask him if he
had anything to lend on a second -mortgage-

Berlin, Cct. 31. Influenza is spread

alarm. ,
Care in Choosing Drinking Water.
. More and more as a knowledge of
hygiene is spread will people be careful
as to the water they drink, for an im
pure article will as surely injure as im
pure food. .A case in point is just re
ported of. two deaths and twenty-four
cases of disease from drinking- the
water of an old well in Milwaukee.
For a long titne the well has furnished
the water for half a . dozen families in
the neighborhood. About all the mem-
bers this summer partaking of the well
water became ill, and their ailment
rooii developed into typhoid . fever.
Near by is a foul niarsh, the water from
which is" supposed to have worked" itself
into the well and thus contaminated it,
causing these deaths' and all she illness.
Probably the cost of the doctors'" bills
and other expenses, together with the
loss of time, have been many hundreds
of dollars, or quite enough ' to have
brought clear water from some other
source. Herald of Health. "
Didn't RUlc Anything.
Unlimited assurance is .possessed by a
young man from Tennessee, who lately
sought admission to West Point, and
thus closed his application to the super
intendent: "I want only to study mili
tary tactics. I want to stay three years.
I want forty dollars per month. At the
end of the term I want a position over
some army of the United States. -1 want
you to send me a round ticket there and
back. I think 1 am both physically and
mentally qualified to fill the position. I
will not be out anything, but I want the
position Please answer this." Yankee

A Californian a man who is. engaged
in one of the largest manufacturing in
dustries in that state while in McMinn
ville the other xlsy, said to a Telephone
Register man : "You Oregonians don't
know Oregon. Wait for five years, and
if she isn't greater than California in
fruit products' you can call me a liar."
This is really unexpected, coming from
a Californian. It is, indeed, praise
from Sir Hubert. ' " x '
