ADOPTING THE MILEAOK SYSTEM. Will Make Spokane tbe Jobbing Centre of the Northwest The Hungarian Zone System. ' Spokane, Aug. 31. A Chicago special says no other line baa yet followed the example of the Great Northern in with drawing from the Transcontinental as- i sociation. Word came, however, from i St. Paul to Spokane which will render ! it impossible for the Northern Pacific to retain its membership after the Great Northern retires. President Hill has definitely abandoned the policy of rate making in force on the transcontinental lines. He announces be will make rates based on mileage alone between St. Paul j and -the Pacific. At present nil the transcontinental rates.., to the.. Pacific coast terminal points are based on ocean competition. For instance a commodity from St. Paul to Portland over the North ern Pacific might take a rate of $2 per 100 pounds. The same commodity ship-, ped over the same line to Spokane might and probably would take a rate of $2.50 or more per 100 pounds. Spokane is 375 miles east of Portland, but the Northern Pacific would carry the same commodity through Spokane and 375 miles farther for 50 cents per 100 less. - , , This system of rate-making applies on all transcontinental lines, and has been approved by the interstate commerce commission in spite of the long and short haul section of tbe act.- The rea son given for this system, and which " is considered good by the commission, is that lines are compelled to make un reasonably low rates to terminal points to meet ocean competition. Were they to use these terminal rates as the - max-' ima, and scale down all interior points back to zero as a starting point, the whole svstem of roads would be non- paying. Either., the ' transcontinental lines must abandon-business to seaboard points or arrange in some way to make up the deficit for low terminal rates. It is this Bystem. which the Great "Northern intends to t overthrow ; by . its mileage charges ' --'."- "; ; " ' The note of victory - from Spokane could almost be heard in Chicago. ' It proposes to become the jobbing center of the northwest, and to utterly eclipse the- pretensions, of .Portland, Tacoma and Seattle. Spokane is the competing point of the Great Northern and North ern Pacific, and, of course, reduced rates must be met by-the latter. "".-The North- hern Pacific will also bo forced to aban don its present system of making inland rates by meeting the rales of the Great Northern. . This, in turn, will either drive it but of the association, or compel the other transcontinental lines to aban don their local inland additions to a through basis. Chicago officials are cu rious to know how President Hill will scale his basis of rates. It is, thought he may attempt the application of the Hungarian zone system, making the same rates, for - instance, to all points within the same cone. - , - Not Creditable to Either Party. . ' Astorian. " The Washington : demo crats, as well as the republicans, have given too much importance to the Seat tle ditch scheme. It looks as if tbe people of Seattle were resolved to make tbe state "Tiow down" and 'worship this absurd attempt to procure public money for a local so-calfed improvement. It is not creditable to the common sense of either party that they have tolerated a canal plank in their platform for a mo ment: The convention fights on this subject will only serve to warn congress against the miserable scheme to pro mote a real estate deal at the public ex penBe. . .. , . - - - . . - ; ;'- ' - Aa Old Plow'.- ' ' West Side. F.A.Patterson brought down an old plow from his house, and it is now on exhibition at O'Donneli & Irvine's hardware store. It was brought across the. plains in 1847 by J. . David son. This plow is of the wooden mole- board pattern, and looks very ancient beside an Oliver chilled plow of modern date. -: .' ' . . : V V 5 , : S Canada Will Come In. St, Loui8 Globed -G. C. Mostgomery, a resident of Toronto, says : "I live in Canada,' and I do know that annexation -to the'United States is only a question of a very few years." The youngest gen eration are entirely too broad-gnaged to long remain the wards of royalty. The necessities of trade will compel Canada to apply for admission to the union. With Canadaon the southeast, United States on the south, and Alaska on the west, that vast and little known coun try called British America will be devel oped, and will fall naturally under the stars and stripes.- It would be impoli tic to allow England to retain it under such conditions. There are some of the greatest timber belts ini' the world, and many rich mines awaiting cleyelopment in that vast territory. ' There will one day be great American cities COO miles north of St. Paul. . Weather Report. ..; Portland, Aug. 31. The official weather bulletin yesterday, says of east ern Oregon: Threshing operations are in full blast in most counties. . In Grant county the prospects for wheat are said to be good, while in Baker county wheat is tdrning out' from twenty to forty-five bushels, per acre. The general tone of the reports concerning the wheat crop is more cheerful. What little hay yet re mains to be cut is being harvested with great activity', the weather being excep tionally fine. . Very little change is noted in the condition of fruit as com pared with last week.; In some counties it is said to be looking well." Corn could vet be improved some by a timely rain, but not so with potatoes wbich are fast drying up. . ...... - . - Bogus Money. - " Telegram. ' Reports are received from points up the valley that counterfeiters are circulating bogus coin and green backs. Persons handling mouey these times would do well to keep their eyes wide open.- In some places 'they . are using tbe old dodge by changing a $2 hill to $10 by pasting the figure ten from a cigar stamp on a $2 bill, and when the work is skillfully done it is said that one can hardly tell the difference. - The bo gus silver coins are lighter than the gen uine and have a slick feeling and can be detected by their ring. -' In some instan ces the doctored S2 bills have passed as $10 bills through . many hands before being noticed. - - : The file tiun Factory. . again being agitated, and it is quite j provable that a -board of officers may visit uis coast and decide upon a loca- I boo. Ifhey do come, a heavy responsi bility rests upon the local chamber of commerce tbprovide them with every facility for seeing the advantages of the Columbia in choosing a site.. This would be such a splendid prize for Oregon that no pains must be spared to bring it here. Washington and California will make a vigorous contest, but between the two Oregon can show the best inducements. " ' A Galena MlneV ' Grant County ISews. . The most cur ious discovery made in the Slocan dis trict is what is known as Con Dough erty's galena farm. This remarkable strike is on the flat bench which extends back from the creek shore to the south of Four-Mile 'creek. - In the midst of the-.- swamp Mr. -.Dougherty, found rich croppings of galena, and he and bis partners are digging out ore like farmers digging potatoes. : Tbe Priee of Wheat. . - lieview. The sale of 21,000 bushels of wheat' was effected at Garfield the other day. Tbe price'paid was 55 cents sacked. The Enterprise states -that the sale was not considered at all .favorable, as the grain was of a superior quality and at tbe same time wheat was selling for 57 cents at Pullman. Come to Oregon. . - Astorian. People who will not go to Europe on account of the cholera should' resolve to see more of their own coun try , including fair and ' fruitful Oregon. They will, gain more' useful knowledge by such tours than they conld acquire in Europe. ; r ' ' . .."

UP TO- T1IK .I'OLK Witb Such Force that It Took the Vic tim's Breath A way and ltendered . Him Xnsenftible.. Bosxojr, Aug. 31. Gilbert G. Rice, tha man whose sufferings at the hands of Tennessee miners did so much to turn sentiment against them, arrived here yesterday to consult a specialist on his ailments resulting from maltreatment by tbe miners. Rice said the men cap tured him while he was investigating land he, was about to -purchase, and thinking he was a spy set about to devise means to punieh ' him.. It was- decided to tie him by the neck to a freight car , Sidetracked, on a steep incline, with .jrf lariat one of the miners had. ' Rice m reciting the story, says thedecreidn wa quickly carried out. "'.'.'The noose was ; drawn around my neck and the brakes loosened. ..One of the miners, dropped the noose from my neck to my waist. ; As the car started th? lariat straightened out and I took a step forward. Then -. another and another, until I found it difficult to keep up. -The "sides of "the -.' track werei lined with a jeering - mob Ofv . ininer8."As Jthe car passed they cheered ; wildly. - There was a sudden turn as the car flew around the curve?, and at the ' end of the taut lariat I felt myself flying through space." . I had gone off on a tan gent and the rope near the car struck a " telegraph . pole with a suddeness that made me dizzy. The rope wound itself .rapidly around the pole. There was a sharp report, the lariat parted and the car went on; As I swung around the pole the lariat grew shorter and shorter 7' until I was brought flat up to the pole " with a force that took . my breath and rendered me insensible. Hours later I -revived and got . free from the lariat which had torn ray flesh about my loins into Bhreds. ,Two ribs were' broken anij I was bruised all over".. I found a squat- V ters hut and two days" later was in Knox- : ville. L have been very ill ever since. ' My weight has fallen from 205 pounds, " T three weeks agoj-to 150 now -and the -shock has turned my hair white.''" ' T-Kot Good Politics. Oregonian. In the state of Washing-' ton the political . game is. so made up -. that Seattle will vote one way land Ta coma the other, in the state election. And on the issue that ' divides these-' cities there will be a good deal of di vision throughout the state. ' The re publican party is committed to Seattle's local scheme ; - the democratic party has declared against it. The " further this , issue is pushed the more it will tend to array against Seattle . the remainder of : the state, and to diminish the chances, of the republican party. It was not good politics on the part of' the republi cans to put matters into this shape. .- . The Oregon Vote. Oregonian. The vote,bf Oregon in' November wii be aljeut 80,000. The Weaver party will have about 20,000. Probably 2,500 votS will be cast for the prohibition, tioket. There will romain 57,500 to tie divided between Harrison and Cleveland, and the vote for Ha?rison' may be set down :at over 30,000. " .- - oaKmsi'-'.owaer
