Newspaper Page Text1 WILLAMETTE FARMER. A- li . V COMBOLLLNG 1UILK0AD KAKES. A friend writes to us: "I liave notic ed that Congress has done for Oregon what our own legislature lulled to do, that is amended the "Winnemucca bill to reserve the rlpht to govern freights and no Oregon paper sees fit even to com ment on it, though It Is one of the givat rights of the people In relation to rail roads." Our friend Is right in commending the action of Congress In that particular, for even though late decisions of United States Courts go to show that the right to reasonably regulate f'ircs and freights remains with the people, as shown in the Wisconsin cases, still it is best to reserve those lights in ail such cases and make the right of the peoplo more plainly de fensible. The late legislature erred that it did not take the same precaution. Corporations are ln'ordlnato In their de mands, almost always, and are certain to take advantage of any legal Haw, or quib ble or uncertainty of language to grasp more than was intended. The fault is as much with the attend ant circumstances as with the members of the legislatures. The sessions In our State are too short for proper considera tion of matters of great importance, and in the hurry ahd bustle with which bus iness always has to be hurried through in the wind up there Is a possibility, that the necessary precaution Is not exercised, and'also opportunity for designing men to put a false face on matters and convey a wrong impression as to objects and re sults. We concede that the late legislature failed somewhat In protecting the State when it passed the Oregon Central Pac ific railroad bill without some clause that protected the interests of Oregon more fully in that respect. THE MATTER WITH KANSAS. We have published, and are receiving, letters from Kansas concerning the suf fering there in the regions that were de vastated by grasshoppers, and have this to say in reply. The people of Oregon generally and the various granges in particular have made liberal oontribu tions, and of course the Patrons know what to do with their contributions as they can send them to brethren of the Order there. It is different with others. Here In Salem the citizens contributed V20 bb!s of flour, part of which was sent to Nebraska, and 70 bbls remained to be sent to Kansas, but all the answer we have received has been that flour could not be used to advantage as transporta tion was not free, so they wanted us to fecll the flour and bend them the money. As we were seeding our contribution to Nebraska through without cost for freight, we knew that the first part of the answer was untrue, and that made us distrust the eagerness with which they demanded money. The donations were therefore returned to the donors. FINE'HOBSES. We know of no way we can better serve our readers than by specially calling their attention lo tbe new advertisement under tbe heading of "To breeders of Trotting and Draft Horses." I, is a well known fact, not only in Oregon and on the Pacific coast, but among tbe leading breeders of fine stock in tbe Hast, that Mr. Reed bas spared no ex pense in purchasing and selecting the very best to be had, and we have every reason to bfcllovo that the imported Clydesdale stallion "Young Marqui" ami the highly bredtroit ing stallion "Autocrat" are all that Is claim ed for them, and it would seem that our far mers cannot go wrong iu breeding buitable mares to such horses, for let them bear iu miud tliat it costs no more to raise a "Gold smith Maid" or a noted Draft Horse, than the veriest ,-tcrub." Going East. Mr. D. Ii. Klggs, of South Salem, will leave this afternoon or to mor orw morning, for Portland, to take tbe next steamer tor San Francisco, Intending to make an overland Journey East. He left Conneo ticut seventeen years ago and bas never re turned to visit lib old home, Fair Haven, Conn., during all that time. Mr. IUurs In tbe inventor of a process for tbe meudluir of broken bells, which he bas successfully usad on several church bells here in Oregon, and It lias alwajs been an ambition with trim, since he perfected that Invention to put It in practice for tbe repair of tbe Old Liberty Ball, wbicb rang out tbe peal of Jubilee when the Declaration of In dependence was signed. We have no doubt of bis entire ability to mend it, and feel con fident that before bis return be will investi gate tbe matter with view to making tbe repairs so that tbe old bell can become vocal aealn for tbe Centennial of next vear. Lib erty bell baa been cracked and therefore useless for tbe greater part of tbe century aitice it rang uineny in.
