Save Dollar ler Iay. The Corvallis Times, speaking of the salaries of Oregon's legisla tors, says: While lulls are be'njr introduced by the hundred and acted on by our wise legislative assembly at Salem, some of the members are not neglecting their own individual welfare, fur a bill has been introduced asking that the pay of members he increased to seven dollars ier day. Thif must look large to some of our granger representatives. .lust think. Seven dollars eipial- about eleven bushels of wheat. Eleven bushel? of wheat per day, for forty days would make -140 bushels. It this bill passes, the members from the rural district can go to Salem, and in forty days accoinplhh the same thing that usually takes a year at home. Exempting Kali roail Huiu Taxation Salem Statesman : The bill f Senator Fulton, virtually exempt ing new railroads to lie built within the next two years from taxation for a few year, should by all means pass and become a law. Whatever railroad building t'-is law would help to induce in this state would be done entirely with outside capital, and it woii'd in duce a large amount of new capi tal besides to come into Oregon. We cau afford toollVr new railroads any inducements within our jiower. it in Oregon's turn now lor exten sive railroad development. Let us hasten this. Head of III Clam.

Dependent On Th Wheat Crop alone Too Many Luxuries And N t Enough Careful Consideration. A valued farmer correspondent in the south part of the county gives us the following views upon the question : "We sometimes hear it suid before there was any lailroads in this country, the farmers were out of debt and money was plenty. We will admit that the assertion is mainly true, yet this docs not prove that the railroads are the cause of so many farmers being loaded down by mortgages. The writer was here nearly twenty years before the whistle fit" the locomotive was heard, and has seen the country developed f:ont a wilderness to its present condi tion. In those early days we were engaged in different occupations to what we are at present ami lived very different from what we do now We did not depend on wheat lor a support as we do now. We had no use for a'ny more than our bread It was not worth any thing. It would not sell unless we would yoke up our oxen and haul it to Portland. Consequently we were compelled to depend upon FOiuethingel.se for a living, 'lis true that sometimes money was more plen'y than it commonly is now. When there would be some new gold mines discovered they would make a demand for provis ions and that would make money plenty for a whilf, but notwith-1 standing all this money wasscarcei j and harder ro obtain than it has ever been since there has been j railroads. If the railroad is detii-j mental to our prosperity why do we patronize it? The wagon road is here yet, just as good as it ever was ami perhaps a great deal belter than when we toon produce to Portland and hauled merchan dise back. Why not hitch up our teams as we did in ''those good old times and haul to and irom Portland?" The answer is plain to every one. But some say, ''the railroad takes the money out of the countrv." Then the question aaiu, wh; patronize it? The facts in the case are that monev did not not remain heie previjus to the adyent of the railroad. There was avenues by which it got away of whrt-h it is iihiiecesHi ry lor me lo write. That freight is much cheaper by railroad than previous to railroad tunes none will den v. that we must have laws to k.-ep their charges within the bounds ol reason we all mint admit. We need railroad commissioners, yes, by all means let us have commis sioners that can tell us that the bridge was not safe after it breaks down and kills a:id cripples a hun dred or so of us. What a great consolation to be told that the bridge was very unsafe after the accident had happened. Now (after this digres-i n) I will try to show some reasons w hy we are in debt as a community more than before railroad davs. When the railroad came it mado a market for w heat, and in c ne qnenee we all plowed up our pas tures and engaged in wheat raising. Many of us did not have the land to raise all the wheat We wanted and went in debt for more, in si ort, we put all our energies lo wheat raising. And as we could not sow enough withourown work we had to hi'e help. The business was pretty satisfactory until the price in w heat came down, w hich found many ol us in debt. Nearly all of our support depended on the wheat. We put in our crops and, anticipating a fair yield and a living price, we go to the store and buy necessaries (aad unneces saries) expecting to square up after harvest, but when harvest is done and paid for, oil.- blacksmith paid, there is perhaps enough left to pay part of our store bill. The mer chant takes our note and carries us along in this manner a few years when he must have his pay or be secured . We give him or someone else a mortgage to pay the debt. The s-.'qiiel is plain. Nowtli3reis not to exceed one third of our time spent in putting in and harvesting our crops. What are we doing the other two thirds of the time? We are not doing anything towards earning a living or paying off our mortgage. Our pastures are gone and we are not making anything from our stock because we can't keep any. A great many even buying butter, lard, bacon, potatoes and other things we ought to raise on our farms. Now a little trip through the country and notice as you are passing aljout the fiarn yards and in the fence corners the old ma chinery that has been discarded, th-n go into the hou-e (wlich perhap-i the fanner is in debt foril it is his own h jiise; and notice how it Is furnished with very nice furni ture of a recent date, such as stands and tables covered with fancy spreads and nearly hidden by no tions, that are of no use whatever except to lo 'k at;, an ortran or piam. stands in a very conspicuous place upon which some of the family are taking lersonj. Now go into the woodshed and look at ourwojd. We lined it choped. then have it sawed by steam or 'orse power, because we could hire it done cheaply. We nre living in a day of railroads and are not behind their speed in living. In "those good old times," when we needed a piece of timber we went to the timber and got it, when we wanted lire wood we went and chopied it ouive.vcs. We had no parlors, no organs, no buggies, nor watches. We are not sighing for the re turn of "those good old times," but are living faster than we can afford, therefore our indebtedness. Some of the things enumerated are very necessary, others are not. In conclusion we wrl say that generally, no one is to blame for our straitened circumstances but our selves. Then let us go a little more slow." A Cycloptic Lamb. The Astoria Columbian says : Dr. O. P.. Kstes yesterday received a remarkable curiosity from Editor Cornwall, of the Cathlamet Ga zette. The following description of the monstrosity was published in the Cathlamet paper last week : One of the most remarkable freaks of nature in the lamb kingdom came to light at J. J. Robert's rar.ch last Sunday morning. The lamb was perfectly natural in ev ery respect save in its facial ap- peararce. In this particular it fcas a monstrosity. It had on:y one eye which was located directly in the middle of the forehead. The nose was deformed, 'this or gan having never developed and tapering gradually towar.ls the up per jaw, w here it united, leaving the nostrils entirely lacKing. ine mouth was mis shapen uii-l appar entlv the only organ through which to breath. The lamb was too weak to nurse and had to be fed with a spoon. It apparently exercised but little uillh-ully in performing the double functions ol swallowing and breathing at the fame juncture, when the milk was inserted at the lower corner of the mouth, it appearing there was an air cavity there which united w ith the deformed ncslrils. It lived until afternoon when it expired in a series of convulsive fits. If the lamb could have been f-nccees-fully raised it would have been a great curiosity. Dr. Kstes will preserve the curiosity in alcohol. An AniuxiiiK Mistake. The Pendleton Easl-Oregouian says: Recently, a passenger, Mr. George Brow nstone, of the lirm of Xolinsky A Co., w holesale tobacco merchants of San Francisco, found himself in an embarrassing predic ament, lie wasenroute East with his wife, and at 1'end'eton left the sleeper on tne main line irain, w hich the porter was dusting, and entered the chair car. Di ing en grossed with a newspaper, he did did not know that the chair cat was switched off and attached to the Spokane branch passenger, lie became painfully cognizant of the fact, however, when Mrs Browr.stone was speeding cast and he was some four or five miles out in another direction, notified the conductor. He ih-"n who tele- graphed the conductor of the other train to have Mrs. I'royvnstone stop at La Grande. Her husband lir ve to Peiicleton an 1 ueiit east on a freight. The Kivcr Steamers. The steamer Northwest, of the Kellogg company, will be up this evening, says the S.ilom States man. During her retirement from the route the Northwest has been newly furnished thicughout. New furniture carpets, and curtaining have been put in and she has been thoroughly renovated. Her ma chinery is now in line shape ami he will run to Salem every otiie diy. The Salem will also be up this evening and twice weekly there after, making the run from Albany to Portland. The Hoag will very likely be up thi-s eveninz also, and the expectation is that the Three Sisters will ho down. The Mtin zanillo is doing lo's of wink on this part of the river, and the Modoc is ori the Yamhill route. The river continues to ri-e and a g iod bo it ing stage is now attained.

J bring j DEATH OF AN OLD EDITOS. W. A- McFberson, Ouce a Proir.iucnt Man in the Siate, Has Passed Away. W. A. McPherson, well known in newspaper circles throughout the state, died at St. Vincent hos pital at C o'cloi k yesterday morn ing, aired about (2 years. His re mains were removed to DeLhin A llolman's undertaking establish ment. The time and place of interment w ill lie fixed later, w hen his relatives can be communicated with. In his early days Mr. McPherson occupied a prominent position be fore the public, and was looked upon as one of the leading lights in the field of journalism in this state. 1 Ie was a graceful yet forci ble writer, and contributed much toward the best literature in Ore gon. Both his poetry and his prose efforts were read with inter est and were w idely copied. I!e was possessed of a poetic vein, and although he wrote tut little verse, yet it was always in an easy, hap Iiy vein, and he was ranked among the best Western poets, whose writings, thoush not attaining a national reputation, might well be compared with those of writers of note. Although during the past twenty years Mr. McPherson lias not oc cupied a high position in the com munity, yet he was in his earlir career much esteemed for Lis frank and generous nature, and his pulilie-spiritediicss toward charitable and educational institu tion. .Air. McPherson was ' o! S.'otch c-x' raction, and at an tarly day, while yet a young man. came to this state. For many years he was a resident of Linn county. His lirst experience was that of a S'-hocl teacher, and then he was editor and publisher of the Albany Journal from '04 to 'Oti. Iti June of the latter year he was elected state printer. After his election he removed to Salem and started the Salem Unionist, which he conducted f -r several years. Din ing the past twenty years he has liec-n connected with a number of papers both in Salem and in this city. Oiegonian. All Old l-sTitioli. The clerk of one of the PortUnd . hotels has dug up an old London I publication that gives the follow I iug description of San Francisco in the days of ' -I'.t : "The town of San Francisco is .situated on the ! s..r.th side of the entrance, froiit- nigon the Imv, f.nd about six miles from the ocean. The flow and el.b of the tide tire sutlicient to brum a vessel to the anchorage in I: out of the town, and to carry it outside without the aid of wind, or even ngainst an unfavorable wind. The p; uuanent population of the town is at this time between one and two hundred, and is com posed almost exclusively of for eigners. There are but two or three native California families in the place. The transient popula tion, and at present it' is quite numerous, consists of the garrison of marines stationed here and the officers and 'crews attached to the merchant and whale ships lying in the harbor. The houses with few excep tions, are small adobes and frames, constructed yvithotit regard to architectural tasU-, convenience or comfort. Very few of them have either chimneys or iireplaees. The inhabitants contrive to live the year round without fires, except tor cooking.

Munkrycel With The ISuzz-saw.

Mrs. Wise died on Sunday the l.Sth of this month leaving a hus band and two little tots of girls to mourn her loss. Two voting Frenchmen named Anbell and Leopold living on the Siushuv went hunting in the moun tains over towards the coast, on the I'.lth of this month and got lost. Aubell found his way home, but Leopold has not been heard from since. lie had a gun, two dogs and a watch when lest, but he is a very poor shot and if he had to depend on his gun he would starve. It is supposed tiiat he was on the head waters of Smith river when last seen. A Case of lirutality. The Spokane Review reporls that a young girl, bearing evidences of having been brutally treated, called at a lodging hotise in that city last Tuesday evening, and begg ed for a night's lodging. She was given a bed for the night and kind ly cared for. She gave her name as Fnima Stock, and said she was the adopted daughter Mrs. Fred Furlh. Her body showed signs of terrible beatings and her arms were swollen and discolored. Sue was thinly clad in a ragged ging ham, and her slight form was blue withcold. According ta her story, her parents were both dead and she has lived with Mrs. Furth for seven years. During all this time she has been made to work like a slave and has been subjected to the brutal beatings of her devilish mother i?) until her young life has been one of constant terror. Why will (iod stand by and see such cruelty perpetrated. Cattle DyliiK. The Dalles Times Mountaineer says the cattle are dying around Moro in considerable numbers, and there is a fatality among horses. One man baa lost one-half of his band of cattle, and another twenty head, and both fed from the same straw stack, l'elieving it to be some poisonous weed in the feed, the hay has been burned ; but the fatality still continues. The state veterinary surgeon is en ro'Jte to the vicinity in which the desease prevails, and will ascertain if possible the cause and take proper measures to prevent its spread. At present the infected dislrict extends acVtance of about nine miles from the east bank of the Deschutes.
