I'ri'Hlili'iit I.ylln'x View Of It.
K. 10. Lytle, preBident of the Culunihiii
Southern ltiulwuy, being (iiieBtiotiud by
an Oregnniun reporter with reference to
to the dismissal of the O'Reilly Hint,
said :
"Wo regard thiB dimiilsMil hh n great
victory uud a vindieution. The coti't
siHtuine.d u ileiiuirrer to .Mr. O'Jitiilly'H
complaint on u ground which lit! could
not cure by itnieudnieit und there was
therefore nothing for hivu to do but dis
miss thii Biiit. It ifl n very easy mutter
to ruab into court und hcuho others of
fruud und niHCiility, uud then to udvertiva
thesu churgett in the publiu press, but it
is quite uuother mutter to prove mid
eiluhlish tlie charges in u court of juatice.
"I have refruiued from saying any
tiling for publication while thin litigation
huh pending, became 1 do not believe in
trying u luwsuit in the papers. Now,
however, that the litigation Iiub ended,
I fuel jiiHtlfled in replying to the false
charges bo freely circulated ly Mr.
O'Reilly auinat me uud all others con
nected with the management of the road.
Mr. 0Keilly'H charges related to the ex
tension of tlie compuny'B line from Moro
to Bhitniko, the wuik on which wiib be
gun nbout a year ago. He claima this
line wuh expuiiHively built uud that the
building of the line waa made tlie excuse
for robbing: the treaaury of tlie company
of largo huiiib, aggregating $275,000. It
ia a sufficient answer to Uieae charge!! to
Buy that this extension wiib built at a
total coat to the company, including
righta of way, of $!M0O u mile. O'liollly
wuh in charge of the construction of the
comiiauy'ri line from Wasco to Moro und
Shuniko extension wiib built than when
O'Ueilly built from Wasco to Moio.
"The suit j list dismissed never hud any
business in faet und O'Reilly knew thie
ut nil times. Wo are well nware of the
purpose lor which this suit was brought;
it is sufficient to any that it wos not
brought for tlie purpose of redressing
J uny wronga which O'Reilly thought he
hud sintered."
A Mtory of Tivmity Yar Acu.
I he bunch-grass IiiIIb of the Inland
Empire are justly reckoned among the
richeBt und most prolific wheat lands in
tlio world; mid yet twenty-five years
ago scarcely one settler in a hundred
could be convinced tlmt thev would ever
be worth u bean excepting for a Block
range. The writer waa forcibly remind
ed of thie the ottier day when a prosper
ous Sherman county farmer, still young
in years, us well us looks, said in his
hearing: "I took up a bunch-grass
claim near Grass Valley less than twenty
years ugo, and just as soon as 1 was old
enough to obtain a filing. J was camped
in a little tent on my claim, when about
the noon hour one day a stock buyer
from the Sound rode up and asked what
alio there was for him to get his din
ner. 'If you can put up for once with
what I have to put up with all the time,
ou are heartily welcome to the best I
have got.' The stranger staked hie
horse on tlie bunch-grass, while I pre
pared the sow-belly mid beans. As he
lit his pipe after dinner be looked ut me
pityingly and asked: 'Whut in the
world are you doing here, young fel
low'.'' 'Going to make a home tor my
self,' whs my answer. 'My God, man,
you don't mean to Bay that'." 'But I
do,' said I, while my lips trembled sus
piciously, for I honestly doubted that
human capacity was equal to the under
taking. 'Have you got nny money?' he
hissed out with an enrnestnessa that
showed that he meant ever word he
saiil. 'N'ot a red cent,' was my answer.
'Then you'll Btarve to death ue sure as
the world.'
"I never felt in lower spirits in my
life than 1 did when the stranger mount
ed his horse und left me again alone in
the bunch-grass wildernesss. I wub
more tiian half convinced he was right
and very little urging would have made
me pick up my traps and leave. But I
didn't leave, and the v.erv ground on
that lino cost the company $11,000 a w hich my tent was pitched, and on

McariiKtia Koute FeaMlile for a Canal.
Wasiuxotox, Dec. 4. Tlie report of
the Isthmuin Canal Commission, submit
ted by the president to congress today,
gives us the unanimous conclusion of
that body that "the most practicable and
feasible route for an isthmian canal under
tlie control, management and ownership
of the United States is that known as the
Nicaragua Route.
Tlie commission estimates the cost of
this canal at $1!00,540,000. This estimate
is much in excess of any heretoforH made
and is due to increased dimensions and
other features not heretofore considered.
The commission also estimates the cost
of a canal by the Panama route at $14-,-812,570,
according to one route, or $150,
1178,258 according to another route. As
between the Nicaragua and Panama
routes, the commission sums up a num
ber of advantages favorable to the former.
It states also that under the concessions
given by tlie government of Columbia
to the Panama Canal Company that
government is not free to grant the nec
essary rights to tlie United States except
upon conditions made by tlie company.
The report is a document of about
17,000 words, almost as long as the
president's message. Although the work
of the commission is not yet completed,
muny of the Held parties still being out,
yet it lias been sufliclently advised to
make it practicable to present this pre
liminary report giviug the essential find.'
