THE CENTRAL PACIFIC AMD MR. FRENCH.
A .Mr. Trench represent tho United States
in connection wMt tho Pacific railroads, and
A year, or less, ngo, this Mr, French claimed
to have found out that these, roads had liccn
defrauding tho government, anil went to tho
length of commenting suit against the Central
I'aciiio in tho naui'i of the Unitnl States. It
is to lie presumed that ho lias lately been to
California to attend to tliu prosecution of this
suit and gather testimony in rtlatiou to it,
lint the first news tliu President nt Washing
ton has of his movements, is tliu puhheation
of a letter aiMicsscd liy linn to Lclund Stan
ford, I'lcsldcnt of tliu Central Pacific load,
testifying that after examining the condition
of the company's hooks and finances, lie Is
MtiMiccl til it tho income of tho corporation,
and of nil tho loads owned hy them, is suffi
cient to pay full interest on tho lionded debt
they owe, nud six per cent, on tho capital
stock as will. Tho publication of this letter,
without having made known his conclusion
to tliu President, is dcuouiicod as A stock Job
bing operation, and as it shows, atmoit con
clusively, that Mr, French lias hecotno an al
ly of tho Central Pacific, he will doubtless
bo removed.
Hut this fact illustrates how often an I how
eadly such men aru bought tver I y ii corpora-

ROW BHEEP INCREASE
A few days ago Mr. I), M, Outline, of
Dallas, Polk county, gavu us some interesting
facts lie hail gathered, which aro worth re
producing. It seems that In 1H47 Mr. Win.
Vaughn, of Willamette Forks, brought some
good .Saxon Merino sheep ucros the plains to
Oregon. In crossing the I'laitc, Vaughn and
his hand got thoroughly wot in getting their
stock o rr, and in this dilemma came across
i he. wagon of Mr. Luther Whim and asked
him if lie had any licpjor. Mr. Wldio had a
little good brand) that he brought ahmg for
medicinal pmposua, and when tho Iwys found
this out, a Mr. White did not drink himelf
or like to gio spirit to others, they climbed
into the ungon and helped tlmnsclve to
aliout a pint and drank it to cnuntiract tl
effect of their plunge bath. Time passed and
the parties reached tliu Willamette, where
aughn, in remembrance of the good tha
brandy did him in tho emergency on the
l'litte, gae Mr. Whito a ewe. .This ewe
was the mother of a great Hock of sliccp, from
which Mr. Whito sold oir the wethers and
kept all or most of the ew ca. Tho reader can
figure for himself how much mutton ami wool

tho stjry goes that in 187(1 he sold out his in-
