iTT"iri t t riff m-iii ir'i'nf'-'- THE C0BVALL1S GAZETTE FHlhAY. OCTOBER k3, 15)03 EDITORIAL COMMENT. Some in eresting statistics ap pear in the lale report of the Pa cific Railroads. Take the rolling stock that has been added to the equipmeut during the last three years, and we find that there has been 337 new locomotives, hun dreds of new passenger coaches, and over fifteen thousand freight cars. If the cars were strung to gether they would make a train 128 miles long, while the new locomotives would make a line four miles long. Over sixty million tons of steel have been used during the same time in bridge building and track laying Nearly four hundred locomotives have been chaneed from wood and coal burners to oil burners The entire trackage in sandy re gions will be oiled to make the road dustless. Improvement has marked- the policy of the com pany ever since the Harnman oartv came into control of the roads, and we regret that this policy is to be changed. Is t Is The edict has gone forth that the Pacific railroads under the Harriman system shall hereafter devote their attention to earning money instead of spending it. No one can find fault with the company in what it has done during the last three, years. A total amount 01 more than one hundred and four million dollars having been expended in better ments, change of line and equip ments during this short time. Nearly $87,000,000 of this amount has been spent on the Union and Southern ' Pacific alone, and over $8,000,000 on the Oregon Short Line. The new Salt Lake cut-off shortens the road about sixty miles, and this, with other changes in straightening track, and reduc ing grades will make a reduction in the regular overland schedule of seven hours. The bulk c this improvement benefits Cali iornia alone, but Oregon, owes a vote of thanks to the company for the the blessings that have fallen our way. 7 No event in recent years has created more wide-spread com ment than the course of the pres ent French governmeflt in break ing up the reactionary and unre publican congregational schools in France. That the wise and courageous action of the govern ment, though bitterly opposed by the clerical enemies of republi canism, has resulted in the per manent good of the country, is attested by the following recent dispatch from Pans. It says The Paris schools have just been . opened to receive the largest reg istration in their history. In spite of the expected overcrowd ing, accommodations have proved sufficient, which is a great dis appointment to the opponents of the ministry, who wanted to pre sent a pathetic picture of little children wandering, without edu cation, in the streets, deprived of their birthright by an me ligious government Through out Prance r, 600,000 additional children have been enrolled in the public schools in consequence of the famous congregations law. The school administration calcu lates that this influx of children will cost an additional 80,000,000 francs ($15,440,000.) ? fj The people who retain their faith in the commercial suprem acy of California and Oregon, regardless of the growing nations to the south, are paying but lit tle attention to the trend of opin ion in the commercial world. Perhaps the following prophecy, published in the Mexican Her ald, a paper printed- in English in the City of Mexico, may be a trifle optimistic, but it is cer tainly worthy of consideration. "Mexico is building pbrt works on her Pacific coast. Her long frontage on the world's greatest ocean gives her an in terest, and a great one, in the vast sea stretching between her and Asia. Railways are now heading for Topolobampo and Manzanillo. Fleets of ocean steamers are to connect her ports with Manila, Yokohama, Shang haij and Hong Kong. As in a vision, Baron von Humboldt saw Mexico become 'the bridge of the world's commerce,' and the Scotsman Patterson declared long ago, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec a a m . . s j ' I would oe tne 'Key 01 tne uni- versejV and, now across Tehuan- tepee a British contractor of great fame, is getting a great railway in readiness for interoceanic traf fic. The Mexican who is blind to his country's glorious future, 1 what his children are to possess, is, b md indeed. The times de mand the coutiuuance of the broad statesmanship that has characterized the Diaz adminis tration for the past twenty-five ears. A trulv savory condition of savory condition flairs is revealed by the confes sion of walking delegate Henry Farley, in New York City,- now under indictment for perjury committed in testimony he gave during the trial of Samuel Parks. Farley not only admits that he gave false testimony in the Parks case, but that Parks did receive $200 from a Brooklyn contractor to avoid a strike, and that the money was paid in his presence. This is but one of many cases to which Farley owns up one case being that of the Ansonia Hotel, at 7 id and Broadway, where $50,000 was paid by W. E. D. Stokes to stop interference by the abor unions. He claims that it is the common practice of walk ing delegates in New York and surrounding cities to extort money from contractors and builders to avoid strikes or have them called off. Lawyers are in volved in this case, as well as the labor officers, and fuller develop ments . are promised. It is the discovery of such criminal con spiracies as these, which seem to be of . daily occurrence, that makes the cause of labor union ism a stench in the nostrils of the community. Truly the reformer is beset with many difficulties. Bohemia Mining Deal. F. J. Hard, president of the Vesuvius & Oregon & Colorado Mining Companies of Bohemia Mining District, ' and acknowl edged to be the most practical mining man in Oregon, paid Cor vallis a short business visit this week, at which time he complet ed the deal by which he acquired a large block of stock in the Great Eastern Mining Company. The price paid, though not given, is known to be a snug sum. V Mr. Hard was elected presi dent, Mr. Calkins having resign ed in order that a thorough m in ing man might be placed at the head of the company. This ac tiori on the part of the directors practically insures the successful development of these mmes and puts new enthusiasm into the op eratihg department. It is the in tention to push development work during the winter and install a stamp mill in the early spring. The fact of a practical mining man of the known ability of Mr. Hard, after having carefully ex amined the property and having assays from the different ledges made by his own. assay er, being willing to invest a large sum of money in the property, as well as giving his time as director of the company, is self-evidence that the people owning Great Eastern stock have a good invest ment. Corvallis people are much in terested in the Bohemia mining district The stock of the above . company is almost an owned by Corvailisites, some owning stock in other companies as well as in dividual claims. s The,' following opinion of - an expert miner, from the Bohemia Nugget will be of interest to our readers: , . George Patrick, a prominent Baker City mining man, has just J 4.1 n 1 1 vi&iicu iuc Duucmia mining ais trict, in which the Great Eastern claims are located, and he. is very enthusiastic over the prospects of the district He says he has followed mining all his life; that he has been in all the important camps in the northwest, and in all his wanderings throughout the great mining circles of the west he says positively, that he has never seen Bohemia's equal. He believes the time is now at hand when Bohemia will startle the world. He does not believe it has an equal. Spain In 1903.
