What the C. & E. May Do.
For mere than a year little
things have transpired now and
then that have caused some peo
ple to believe that t&e . C & E
would shortly extend their road
on over the aonntains into the
heart of the state. Where seme
people have "believed" implic
itly in the reports, others have
'hoped" that they were founded
on truth. The Oregonian sums
up the situation very well in the
following:
There are rumors of another
railroad aiming tor the business
of the interior region of Oregon
east of the Cascade Range. This
is a revival ol the story that the
Corvallis & Eastern is making
preparations for extending its
line across the mountains. It
now halts at Detroit, near the
crest of the range, but the grade
is finished for a considerable dis
tance beyond, and the right of
way secured still further. The
activity of the Nevada-Califor
nia-Oregon people in building
northward into Oregon, and the
prospect that the Columbia
Southern will reach into the
Upper Deschutes Basin, is said
to have moved the powers that
control the destinies of the Cor
vallis & Eastern to appreciation
of the fact that it is now or never
with them; that to leave the line
waving in the air at the top of
mountain is short-sighted, and
the time to go forward is before
other roals have occupied the
field.
More than three years ago a
mortgage was filed in Linn coun
ty, securing money for extend
ing the Corvallis & Eastern into
Eastern Oregon. It is said that
a market had been found tor the
bonds and that the line would be
extended at a propitious time.
Since then great changes have
come into the railroad world,
and it may be doubted that the
arrangements then made would
hold good today. But money is
even easier now than it was then,
much work has been done to
ward opening the natural wealth
of the region to be penetrated by
the proposed extension, and it is
found to be worthy of financial
confidence, and long headed
railroad men sav the time is
ripe for the Corvallis & Eastern
to push on in order to protect its
own interests.
A Letter From Dover.
Months have elapsed since I have at
tempted to indite an epistle, therefore,
should I stray from the beaten path the
path worn deep by custom and prece
dent, and for such cases made and pro
vided by the Pilgrim Fathers I pray
you overlook it. .
For more . than a quarter of a genera
tion have I tarried with these people,
yet am I not one of them. Their ways
are not my ways, neither are my ways
their ways. I have thought sometimes
there might be a mote in my eye; if so,
I have failed to discern it, even with the
aid of a powerful microscope.
One who has witnessed the beauty and
grandeur of the boundless west, where
Mother Nature has been so lavish of her
many gifts that the hearts and minds of
her people cannot fail to respond in
deeds of charity and benevolence, and a
kindly feeling for tbe whole human race,
has no business within the narrow con
fines of the six New England States.
Where, do you ask, is my charity? I
have it not : I left it in the West. It is
not charity that is needed here, but the
whip of scorpions.
We read in the Book of books of tbe
wise men who came out of the East, ia
no way did they show more wisdom
than in coming out had they tarried
there they had not been wise,
Let us study a few of the characteris
tics of the people of this sectiou from
whence the wise men have departed. To
facilitate matters, and to enable us the
better to keep track of our subject as we
proceed, we will discuBS it under three
separate headings, viz : Physically, in
tellectually and morally. Physically
in stature and avoirdupois, the people of
this section will compare favorably with
those of other sections of the country,
but in point of health they are below
par. There are but few male or female,
young or old who can say, with truth,
that they are in perfect health. Con
sumption, catarrh and indigestion are
the three principal ailments. The latter
of which is probably caused by the mode
of living too much pie. Consumption
and catarrh are due to sudden and ex
treme climatic changes.
Intellectually this part of our subject
may be summed up thus; Dollars and
cents.
In regard to morals it is a well-known
fact that morality has two -distinct
branches, the good and the bad, and
but let ns drop the subject; silence is
golden.
In conclusion, let me say that it will
well repay anyone bo likes to study
human nature to pass a few years of his
or her life in some New England village.
