WEDNESDAY. - JANUARY 23, 1885
A USELESS COMMISSION'.
The railroad commissioners are oat
-with a fake report as to what they have
accomplished. They are making claim
to every redaction that has been made
in freight rates, by any road in the state
during their term of the office. No
' matter what, caused the reduction, the
commissioners claim it came from them
Those claims are as bareless as the
fabric of a lover's dream.. Last summer
on account of the low price of wheat,
and also because Receiver McNeill has a
better idea of business than the old
Union Pacific management bad, the
rate from nearly all points east was cot
materially. - The railroad commissioners
claim to have caueed this, but the truth
is they knew nothing about it. General
Com peon was at the time rounding up
the Oregon National Guard and haviog
summer outing and taking a 'est from
his arduous duties of assisting to enter'
tain the superintendents of the railroads.
Col. Eddy was in Washington attending
a meeting of the National Press Associa
tion. Lydell Baker was hoofing it over
Cleveland's Cascade forest reserve and
the other member of the commission
was just drawing his salary. They did
not even know that McNeill had. thought
of cutting the wheat rate.
They also claim the credit of reducing
the rates from this point to Portland
when everybody knows that the opposi
tion of the D. P. & A. N. Co. alone com'
pelled this reduction. This is true and
the proof is easily made. The rate on
wheat from The Dalles to Portland, 88
miles, 'is 64 cents per 100 pounds.'-, The
rate on wheat from Biggs, 108 miles, or
20 miles further -than from here, is 15
cents per 100 pounds. The distance is
one-fourth greater, the price about two
and one-third times as much. Now, if
the railroad commissioners were able to
compel the O. R. & N. to make a $1.30
per ton rate from here, why could they
not compel it to make a corresponding
rate from Biggs, Grant or Rufus? If
they could have done it they have
neglected their duty. The points named
are large shipping points, forwarding
the grain from Sherman county, which
by the way, raises one-tenth of the entire
wheat yield of the state, and they should
have as low rates, comparatively, as The
Dalles. A 6 cent rate from The Dalles
would mean not to exceed an 8 cent rate
from Grant, Rutus or Biggs. If the
railroad commissioners were able to dic
tate the rate for The Dalles, then they
have stood in with the O. R. & N. to aid
it In charging 7 cents a bushel too much
to the Sherman county farmers, and as
they ehipped over a millioa bushels, the
overcharge which the commission al
lowed the railroad to charge, and of
which the Sherman countv farmers were
defrauded, amounted to $75,000.
It will be seen from these two cases
that the claims of the commissioners to
having saved the producer anything, are
without foundation. Besides this, the
platforms of all three of the parties, at
the last election, promised to abolish the
railroad commission. Let the people
watch for that vote and remember which
political party kept its promises on that
point.
vThe senatorial fight at Salem begins
to grow interesting. Dolph's friends
still have confidence in his final election
but it strikes us that it requires consid
erable more grit to go back on the bolt
than it did to go back on the caucus,
One thing though is sure, and that is
that if the bolters succeed in defeating
Dolph they will have inflicted on the
state of Oregon the greatest injury pos
eible for them. The bolters are not for
Tongue or Fulton, they am not for
Moore. . They simply are for any one to
beat Dolph
A bill has been introduced in the sen
ate providing for paying MiBs Iva Tern-
pleton $20,000 for being injured while
traveling on the public highways. The
title of the bill does not convey a very
definite idea of the manner in which the
lady was injured, or the extent of her
injuries." The only thing definite about
the matter is the exact amount, ex
pressed financially, of her injuries.
is really strange that the injuries re
ceived should have just amounted
that snug round sum.
The democrats of the legislature paid
Judge Bennett a deserved compliment
by giving him their, unanimous vote for
the United States senate.; The com pi:
ment was the greater in that he not
only got all his party vote, bat one
more, the extra , vote coming from, the
populist side of the hoosei-
BIG BRONZE STATUES.
Some of the Complications En
countered In Casting Them.
Where Bonn of the Largit American
Figures In This Metal Are Located
The Process of Their Con
struction. Few have any idea of the difficulty of
casting' a large bronze statue. The
popular idea is that molten bronze is
poured, into a mold, and then, when
the metal has cooled, the mold is
knocked off and the Etatue is complete.
How much more elaborate is the proc
ess, says the New York World, may
be gathered from the following descrip
tion of the casting of a large bronze
statue in one piece: After the plaster
model has been obtained from the ar
tist it is laid upon a frame and built
up all over with a reddish sand, which
is peculiarly fitted for the purpose be
cause of its cohesiveness when worked
and of its stony hardness when dry. It
is imported from France, the beet com
ing1 from ! ontenoy-aux-iioses, arxrat
sixteen miles from Paris.
This bmLdmg-up process is not so
easy us it sounds, for th sand has to be
applied in little chunks, varying m size
but all fitting snugly together, so that
they can be taken apart when the im
pression is complete and the moid is
dry.
In an elaborate casting there will be
from fifteen hundred to two thousand
of these pieces, all of which must be
accurately adjusted, or the casting will
be imperfect. The most noticeable
feature in .a bronze foundry is the num
ber of workmen employed in cutting
np little chunks of the sand and care
fully and tenderly fitting them around
the plaster model. These workmen.
by the way, are imported along with
the sand, the majority of them being
French.
"The blocks of sand being dry, they
are carefully taken off the cast one by
one, and as carefully -refitted. This is
the mold. It is then filled with clay,
and when the clay is dry the little
blocks forming the mold are again un
fitted, and a fac-simile of the plaster
cast is obtained. Then comes the most
delicate part of the work. . The clay
model has to be reduced by scraping un
til it is an exact but slightly smaller
copy of the plaster model, for ,a quar
ter of an inch has to be taken off its
entire surface, and the difficulty of do
ing this can be imagined, especially
when the'subject is at all ornate. As
suming the reduction of the clay "core,'
as it is technically termed, to be satis
factory, the core is introduced into the
mold, which has again been put to
gether, and there is naturally a space
of a quarter of an inch between the ex
terior of the core and the interior of
the mold. The core is stayed with
iron rods so that it remains rigid in the
center of the mold, and the glowing
molten bronze is poured in from the
top and completely fills np the space
between the core and the mold; after
it has cooled the mold is removed and
the clay Interior extracted, and the
statue is revealed, somewhat rough, it
is true, but very nearly as it will ap
pear before the public. '
The Astor doors of Trinity church
took three years to complete, a good
contrast to which may be found, as re
gards time of execution, in the Wash
ington statue in front 3f the subtreas-
uryon wall street, whicn was com
pleted in six weeks and , two days.
Speaking , of the Washington statue
every one has noticed the bright color.
or "patina," as it is called, of the legs
of the Father of His Country, while the
rest of the body is as grimy as all the
other bronze statues in New York city,
This is due to the rubbing Of the
shoulders of street boys and loafers,
The founders of the statue say they
would make them a handsome present
if they would rub the rest of the great
man's body, for a "patina" acquired in
this way is superior to any that can be
given artificially.
The statue that gave the most trouble
to the founders, and at the. same time
is one of the most artistic and beauti
ful specimens of bronze casting in the
country, is Mr. J. Q. A. Ward's statue
of President Garfield, in Washington.
The nude figures around the statue are
responsible for the difficulty of casting.
, The alloy commonly used for statue-
casting consists of ninety parts copper,
seven tin and three zinc; that used by
tne ancient Greeks being eighty cop
per and twenty tin. At the time pf
Pausanias they were the first to do any
bronze casting; previously articles of
ornament were made by riveting sheets
of bronze together in the same way
