Not to see our stoves and'ranges
before buying is a mistake. Mis
takes life alvay3 costly. In heat
ing stoves we have the largest as
well as the most carefully selected
stock in the city. The stoves we
offer were not bought as an experi
ment but as a certainty. We
know what each stove will do, and
they were bought for cash, so the
price is right. We have special
ties in heaters, beside our regular
lines of (iarland, Argand and Su
perior stoves and ranges.

Railroad Gossip-The Albany acd Ast m
Roid The Jna9Couti3t.
Astokia. March 1.
To Tim Editor ok tub Hj3.'.m:
The newly appointed collector
of customs and his subordinates
have taken charge of the oltice to
day. The collector himself is an
independent kind of a cuss, and
pays no attention to the wishes of
our congressional delegation, but
appoints his assistants from his
associates socially. Birds of a
feather flock together, and politics
always makes strange bedfellows.
(trading has commenced on the
motor railway around Smith's
point. Col. Taylor proposes to
push the work. He purchased
the iron while in the East recently
and the superstructure will be
built and iron laid as fast as the
grading can be accomplished and
piles driven. '
Railroad talk about the Asloi la
& South Coast road is rather quiet
lor the past few days. Everybody
seems to be on the qui vive wait
ing for something to turn rp, ami
wondering what new scheme will
be proposed to re-establish the
confidence of the public in the
present or proposed management.
A few Cninamen were sent out on
the grade a few days ago, but I do
not think Smith & Hoffman have
commenced operations yet.
We have been expecting the en
gineer of the Albany & Astoria
railway company, but tht stormy
weaiiier ollue past winter has been
an unsurmountable hindrance to
the most enterprising and" indus
trious field men. However, the
public will talk, and their conn
dence in the Albany road is stead
ily gaining strength, notwithstand
ing the work here has not yet been
commenced, but there is plenty ol
time to get in and build the line
from Tanzyv Point to Seaside in
time for the summer travel.
Real estate deals are not very
active, but in acreage property
some large tracts have charmed
hands at pretty steep figures com
pared to prices of a year ago. . If
property could be bought at its
assessed value and sold for the
prices that some of the owners are
asking, there would be million.9 in
it.
Political sculdugcry is beginning
to quietly lay plans for the coming
campaign. It seems to be an es
sential element of both political
parties, especially among those
who are denominated the leaders
or rather assume to themselves
that prerogative. Trickery seems
to be their stock in trade and they
are always ready to foist their
plans and jobs on the market to
gain their own private ends, .when
fair dealing would give the public
the honest voter, better satisfac
tion, better eervice and more
honorable lepresentation.
Spring has come, with some im
provement on the last few winter
days, and we aie expecting the
good weather to bring us a corres
ponding brightness in all business
prospects. M .
An Inhuman Art.
The Cottage Grove Leader ot
Cottage Grove
February 21 has . the following:
One of the most inhuman acts of
the age is reported near this place.
The victim was Millie Wand, wife
of Ed. Waud. She was sick and
her husband went to his father's
house, which is only a few rods
distance, nnd left her alone with
her little children, one a babe only
four days old and two others, the
oldest being 4 years old. None of
the family went near her for sev
eral days, not even her husband.
She had to depend on those little
children to make fires, and once
she got out of bed and crawled on
her knees and made a fire. Some
of the neighbors went to see her
and found her in bed helpless and
nearly dead. They did all they
could for her, but it was too late.
She died Friday evening. KejKjrt
says her 'husband would not give
her the medicine the physician
brought her, but put it in his
pocket and gave her morphine in
stead. Dr. Oglesby took her some
brandy and loaf sugar, and as soon
as he was gone Ed drank the
brandy and ate the sugar so the
neighbors say. Anything that
was brought for her he would eat
or drink it.
Oregon Appropriation.
Reports from Washington indi
cate that Mr. Hermann is not very
enthusiastic over Senator
Mitchell's bill for a boat railway
at The Dalles. Mr. Hermann
takes the ground that the demand
for such a large sum over three
millions will of necessity cut
down the amount allowed Oregon
in the general river and harbor
bill. Senator Mitchell holds that
it need not be made a part of the
general bill, but can be made as a
separate measure. The senator
says there is no necessity of the
boat railway Dill going uelore the
river and harbor "committe, but
may be referred to the committee
on" railroads and canals. Mr.
Hermann declared that if Oregon
trets a million and a half for rivers
and harborsSt will be impossible
to secure more money for the boat
railway. Mitchell says it isneces
sary first to get it through the
senate, but if it does get through
he will expect that Mr. Hermann
will do all he can to get it through
the house.
To Protect IIops.
Senator Mitchell has introduced
a resolution calling upon the com
mitte on finance, who are inquir
ing into the tariff, tp investigate
and if practicable prepare a pro
vision for a duty on hops. The
senator says that the states of
Oregon and Washington are the
greatest hop-producing countries
in the world, and he wants the
product protected.

THE HI NT I'ROI'OSITION.
A mass meeting of citizens,called
to consider and take action upon
the "Hunt proposition," was held
at the Tabernacle this evening.
1 he proposition of Mr. Hunt, the
present status of his system of
roads, the proposed extensions and
the advantages to Portland of the
connection was all explained at
large. The general feeling is ex
pressed among business men that
Portland should have the Hunt
railroad. Thus far, howeyer, capi
tal has been timid in tak:ng hold
of the matter.
OX THK SOt THERX l'ACIFIC.
The Southern Pacific has com
pleted its work at tunnel Is'o. 9 in
Northern California, and the road
is now wholly open from San
Francisco to Glendale. The com
pany has not found it possible to
undertake the task of transferring
passengers from Riddles to Glen
dale. No tickets are therefore
offered for sale to points south of
Riddles. The transfer is still
effected by Mr. J. 11. Riddle in a
wagon, ins charges are ?5 per
passenger, and 4 cents per pound
for all baggage in excess of 50
pounds. Hereafter mails for the
Bouth will go on the overland
trains and be transferred at the
break in the Cow Creek canyon.
Every effort is being made to
secure connection by rail, but it is
a problem the solution of which
depends wholly upon the weather.
The road will not be open through
tl e big break at Cow Creek for
several weeks, perhaps a month.
Oregon Live Stock Losses.
A Pendleton dispatch says : Sam
Tillar has receiver! a letter from
his son, who is in Heppner. He
gives some discouraging reports
regarding sheep losses in Morrow
county, which are already about
05 per cent. The largest losers
are: Ted Miner, Butter Creek,
5HX)outrf a band of 2400 ;Rix Hard
man, 450 out of 1000; Rode Hard
man, K00 out of KMX); Papin
Hardman, 700 out of 1800; Harry
Jones, Butter Creek, 00 out of
2400; John Williams, Butter
Creek, over 800 out of 2400. I high
Fields lost his entire band of 2000
sheep, on the John Day. Mrs.
Kilcup, of Butter Creek, has so far
a loss of only 12 out of 2100. Andy
Tillar has so far met small loss.
Xels Jones has lost 200 head out
of a band of sheep on the John
Day. Stockmen well provided
with feed did not suffer as badly,
but if there is not a thaw soon he
states that there will be no more
live cattle left in that country.
Reports from Snake river say that
losses are 50 per cent, now and
will reach 75.
F1t Runaway Boys.
Five little loys of this city ran
away from home Monday evening,
having matured a plan to become
tramps, which they proceeded to
carry into execution by taking a
cushioned seat on the brakebeam
on the overland train. They went
as far south as Junction, where
they were discovered and put off
by the brakeman. Thev passed
the night without supper, and yes
terday morning returned to Alba
ny, having taken blind baggage
passage back to this city. Thev
accepted the maternal slipper and
oreaKiast with goori grace. and will
probably not hanker after the lifo
of a tramp any more.

Some time since John Minto, of
Salem, w:ete to the secretary of
agriculture at Washington con
cerning the manufactuie of jute
grain sacks and askeu for some
seed of the jute in order to test its
growth in Oregon. He, has re
ceived the following reply :
Washington Feb. 20, 1890.
Mr. John Minto, Salem. Or.
Dear Sir: Your letter to the sec
retary of agriculture has been re
ferred to me for reply.
Jute culture would not succeed
in your state, as it requires a warm,
moist climate, like the river sec
tions of Louisiana. 1 cannot refer
you to any other fiber plants suita
ble for your purpose, excepting
flax. It is thought thatflax can
be grown for seed and a cheap
grade of fiber
at the same time,
better practice and
handling. The de
soon issue a report
with a little
more care in
partment will
on this subject, a copy ot which
will be sent you when published.
Doubtless your soil and climate
(Oregon) are most favorable for the
culture of flax for fine fiber alone,
and when the requirements of the
industry are better known by your
farmers, it might become one of
tne resources of the state. The
foreign methods of flax culture are
stated in the report above referred.
Very truly yours,
Ciias. Richard Dodge,
Special Agent.
Slight Collision.
On Monnay morning about 11
o'clock the north bound local
freight at Brooks ran into a box
car, standing on the side track.
The box car was wrecked and
thrown from the track, while the
engine was considerably damaged.
The engineer claims that the con
ductor and brakemen made no at
tempt to stop the train after he
whistled for brake?.
County Fair Wanted.
Some time ago there was con
siderable talk about improving the
fair grounds near this city for the
lurpose of holding a county fair.
Recently, however, the matter has
been seemingly forgotten. This
portion of the state possesses some
of the finest stx-k in Otegon, and a
county fair next fall would be a
good thing in many ways. Stock
men and producers should look
after the matter.
A Good I'lace to Dwell.
A Montreal judge has decidqd
that it is illegal to try and collect
a debt anywhere but at the domi
cile of the debtor, and that to ask
on the street for money that is
due, constitutes an assault. Can
aria must be as pleasant a place for
debtors as it appears to le for de
faulters and boodlers.
