Mr.' Editor; There is a question
which we of this section of the county
deem of great import mce and upon
w'liolt we want to be advised befora the
June election.
Will the next Legislature of tils
State regulate freights and fares on Ihe
various lines cf railway? That tliry
have a right to do so h undisputed.
The f xorbitant rules charged demands
that it should in justice bo done. Does
either of tlie two. "political parties fear
the influence of these gigantic corpora
tions f0 much that tl.ey will decline to
act in the matter If so it is time they
would show their hands. The people
who are directly interested want to 1o
informed or. this question. If both the
old parties should decline to act on tbis
question there are enough independent
voters in this county who will support
no candidate for the Legislature on
either ticket who is not outspoken and
known to be honest upon this question,
to secure the defeat of every aspirant
who shaft seek to dodge this issue.;
A Voter.

The Cool iay Eai road-
Boos it portend a railroad The
Standard of the 22d hf.s vha following
dispatch from New York:
"The Trtbiine's report from Port
Orford that Gould has bought that new
pot ton the Pacific, appears to have
this foundation. Negotiations for ex
tensive property there are pending with
son.c eastern capitalists. The harbor
is said to be excellent. The repoited
intention is to connect it by rail to the
Oivgon and California railroad, or.c
hundred miles distant, so that it naay
become a shipping point for grain from
southern Oregon and northern" Cali
fornia farms."
The Orcgonian of the 23d soutains
the following dispatch from 'NewYork:
A Tribune report from Pott Orford
to the effect that Gould has bought the
Newport property on C003 bay, Oregon,
appears to have foundation from the
fact that negotiations fcr extcnsii
property there are pending with some
eastern capilalits. The harbor is said
to be excellent'' and it is reforted the
intention is to connect bv rail with the
Oregon Pacific railroad, 100 miles dis
tant, so that it may become a shippiug
point for grain from southern Oregon
and northern California.
Do these dispatches refer to the same
matter and if so, what are the chances
for an outlet to the sea for the produce
of southern Oregon Should a rail
road be completed from here to Port
Orford so as to give us cheap tianspor
tation to shipping, communication with
the grain markets of the world, south
ern Oregon, with its unequaled climate
and soil, ' would, at oco become the
most favored agricultural portion of the
United States. The fields that are
now lying waste and being overrun with
oak gi ubs, would all be utilized. Im
migration would flock to our shores and
the short line of railroad from here to
the sea would, in a few years, be the
best paying line west of the Mississippi
river. -
The Murder Trial.
The time of the recent special term
of the Circuit court was mainly 'occu
pied in the trial of William Eddmgs,
accused by the grand jury of the Octo
ber term of the murder of William P.
Thomason, on the 2Gth day of July,
1883. ; . " ;;:;. '
The trial of the case lasted four days
and a great many witnesses were ex
amined, both for the State as well as
for the defense. The testimony dis
closed tho existence of an old feud be
tween the parties and mutual threats.
The jury was composed of intelligent,
just and impartial men. The charge
cf the court was a clear statement of
the law. The jury after deliberating a
short time, returned a verdict of guilty
of murder in the second degree. The
court sentenced Eddings to imprison
ment in the' penitentiary for hi3 natu
ral life.

Harry; We have had a terrible
time to-day and T believe I am a lucky
fellow, when I realize that no Uvea
have been lost. At ten o'clock this
morning Charley went into the lion's
den to perform them, but before we
could shut down the door again out
sprang Prince, the large lion. Ot
course the barn was full. I was sit.
jting next to Dr. Kelly, and when he
pimped out he knocked us both oyer
and ran to tho corner of the alley door,
where we kept him until I got the
shifting box at the sliding door that
goes into the shed and we got him over
in that coiner, bwt he would not go in
and in less than a minute he was in the
i ,
pony's stall and had the little fellow by
the neck and pulled him down and in
side tiuve minutes the poor pony was
dead. We then tore the mmer 'floor up
1 .
prd dropped ropes down and caught
him by the fore legs and pulled him
fully half way up. We then had a
long stick with two sponges saturated
with chloroform and wo then managed
to get ropes on his hind legs and pulled
him into the shifting box and from
there into the cage. It occupied just
three hours time. A lion loose soon
!
irot noised around and there; was a
thousand people around on tho street,
and everybody said, ".shoot him;" but
J was detei mined to save the lion's life,
if possible, and I did so. Of course
there was a scattering out of the burn

of the pony. I never expect to see his
equal again, and the children have just
cried their oyes out over him. He was
'the cutest of all ponies I ever saw and
inoney could not have bought lnm, but
J feel graUfnl that no lives were lost.
The . reporters of all the papers have
been hero and I am afraid that they
may say it was caused by carelessnesSj
but this is not so. The door did not
drop quick enough. It got caught
somehow. I will send von tLe Morn,
ing News and perhaps it may give a
better account of it than I have, for I
urn so nervous that I can't write. It
is strange lie never went near the ele
phant. I think that if the pony had
not boon there that he would have
killed some of us. The Nickel Plate
will never show again on Sunday, un"

Laigrishe the Laughmaker-
This is the title bestowed by the peo
ple of Portland on John S. Langrishe,
'he celebrated .comedian, who gives
two entertainments at Marks' Hall
next Wednesday ' and Thursday even
ings. He brings Irs entire supporting
company direct from the east, and is on
his way to San Francisco. There are
many residents of this place who have
Inn died :it Ida comicalities in othpr sec-
tions who will appreciate the following
extract from the Orcgonian of Port
land, where he has lately closed a week
of artistic triumph:
"No actor has ever vh ited Portland
with a stronger endorsement from the
highest society circlts and the daily
press than John S. Langrishe, who is
supported by a company, ; all of whom
are new to this city. Langrishe is per
sonally familiar to every section of the
United States, except tho extreme
northwest Dropping into manage
ment and quitting the active stage some
years ago, his name has become less
familiar on account of the prominently
advertised stais of late years. Many
j-ears since he achieved a name and po
sition while but a youth, and starred
throuchoHt New. York State and Penn
sylvania until commencing management
of a circuit from Chicago through. Wis-'
cons-in and Minnesota, and was the
first to enter Colorado a3 early us 1860.
He brought his en tire company by wag
ons over the trail, defending themselves
twice from Indian attacks. He built
theaters in Denver, Central City,
Georgetown, and also in Helena and
Virginia City, Montana. ' "Among the
prominent. -members of his company
were C. W. Couldock, of "Dmistan
Kirke" fame, and George Pauncefort,
Madame Schiller, the Thornes, Charles
and Ed., and others of equally well
known prominenc. lie has been the
pioneer of each new section of the coun
try, and is now the first to bring a
stictly legitimata conedy company
westward over the new Northern Pa
cific. The Salt Lake Herald of Octo
ber 13th thiiri aptly descrides his style:
A large audience greeted the Langrishe
organization last evening, and the ap
plause and laughter were loud and long
continued. Mr. Langrishe himself is
one of the best of comedians, lie plays
a part with such a thorough apprecia
tion of what the author desires to be
conveyed to the audience, and is, withal
so easy an J unforced in bringing out his
points that all are agreeably impressed
vith him at once. Some comedians .
work hard for the plaudits of specta
tors. Langrishe does q-iita thj reverse j
While makinsr the audie.ice laujj'i-lw is
as easy and a3 quiet as a June zephyr,
and those who witness bis perform voce
hardly know why it isr that they sur
render so much of tli2ir dignity to
mirthfulness; they only know that they
do.'"
Oa Wednesday the M m ii a Maze;
will be presented, and on Tiiurs lay,
"Matrimonial oidities" and the Gentle
man from Ireland" will be given, will
be given, thus changing the c:itiro bill;
there being extra scenerv.
j - -
The Portland Orcgonian, Standard,
News, Telegram and Maieury-atl join
in his praise and say "Langrishe has
caused more laughter during his stay
there than any commediaa that has vis
ited Portland for years." It is evident
that .Hose burg never had such a treat
before and it may be many years ere
such an opportunity will again occur.
Tho gn'rai admission will be seventy
five cents and fifty cents for children,
lleserved seats can be secured in ad
vance at A. C. Marks' without extra
