cheaper to operate the switchback with

'.This being the case a long time may

the mountain, if ever. The tunnel would
amove a very expensive work, and as the
tOneat Northern is now operating a thou
sand miles of road that does not pay ex

Imperialism In Rome.
The address last night delivered by
Mr. Lydell Baker, of Portland, on
'Julius Caesar and the Dawn of Imper
ialism iu", Rome" attracted a large aud
ience at the' court bouse. Every seat
was occupied, and very many were
forced to stand. Mr B S Huntington
introduced the speaker, and be had not
spoken a dozen words before he had the
complete attention of his audience. The
manner in which Mr. Baker handled the
subject showed that he had devoted the
most careful attention to Roman history
He has a commanding presence, and
his delivery approaches perfection. He
traced the growth of the corrupting in
fluences jn Rome until the law courts
became subject to bribery and acts of
the grossest injustice. . From the west
came gold into the coffers of Rome, and
from the east the desire for luxuries and
for passionate indulgences. These furn
ished the contagion that poisoned the
political system of the sturdy Romans,
and converted a race of heroes into der
bauches and gluttons. The Roman sol
diers were principally composed of agri-r
culturists, and war was so lucrative that
they returned from their conquests and
purchased their way into leading posi
tions in the great capital of the world
By such means an aristocracy and a sen
ate were created who were venal and
corrupt. The speaker then gave a
graphic description of the civil wars that
raged," one faction when in power be
coming the slayers" of the other. He
gave a clear outline of the history of the
country to the time when Julius Caesar
returned victorious from Gaul, crossed
the Rubicon and defeated Pompey at
Pbarsalia. Caesar then became master
in Rome, and in him converged all the
lines leading from republican Rome and
diverging to imperial Rome. The ad
dress was well worded, and the language
choice in every particular. He depicted
in glowing terms the efforts of Tiberius
.Gracchus to reform bis country, gave a
fine picture of Marius, also of Jugurtha
and his visit to the city, which on leav
ing, he said could be bought if a pur
chaser could be found. His tribute to
Julius Caesar closed the lecture, and
nearly every one would have been inter
ested if it bad continued another hour.
Mr. Baker js a young man, and has a
bright future before him If at any
time he may visit The Dalle while on a
lecturing tour we can assure him a good
house.
Railroad Difficulties.
The TJnion Pacific has experienced
great difficulty in tbe western division
this spring Floods in Idaho and wash
outs between The Dalles and Portland
bave been the means of vexatious de
lays during tbe past few days, and the
Second train from the east for over a
week passed down the road this morn
ing. It is to be hoped that the storms
of -spring are over, and that hereafter
there will be no obstructions to travel
by reason of the elements- The railroad
company displayed considerable enter
prise in building the road through the
gorge of the Cascade mountains, down
f.he Columbia river, and it takes pluck
and untiring energy to keep it open dur
ing . spring and falj. The blockade in
Idaho was not expected, as heretofore
that part of the road bas given the com
pany no trouble ; but the heavy rains
this spring washed out many bridges
there which had to be repaired. The
necessary repairs caused by these disas
ters has entailed on the company heavy
expenses, and capital must be combined
with energy to run a railroad iu tha
west. .
A Ride to Death.
The Dunsmuir News of Saturday bas the
following account of the death if M. J. Ne
her, of that place, presumably a case of sui
cide. "A boy st Rcraioger's ranch saw a man
riding by there on boisebauk, going down
bill on a full gallop. Just when be got out
of sight.at a turn in the road, the boy heard
a pistol shot. He wen t down to see what
tbe cause was, when be found tbe man ly
ing on tbe ground about ten feet from hia
borse, gasping for breath. It was found
that a revuiyer bad been thrust in bis mouth
and di:cbige-i, toe Duiiii coming out m
tup ot his head. Tbe borse was standing iu
tbe toad with tbe reins wrapped around the
pommel of tbe. Saddle. This happened
about 2:30 o'clock Wednesday evening. Mr.
Neher left his home in Dunsmuir Wednes
day morning to go to E Igewood to buy cat
tle. He was about 43 years of sge and
leaves a wife and three small children tc
mourn bu loss. His wife is almost dis
tracted with giief. It is really a tai case,
tie waa considered in pretty good encum
stances, aud there is no known 'cause why
he should have committed suicide."
Oar Scenery.
Tourists write in ectacey of beautiful
Italian landscapes; but during these daya of
clear sunshine Eistern Oregon equals any
portion of the world in this regard, and
The Dalles ia particularly favored. If one,
during these times of buainets ennui, can
arouse sufficient animation to climb to the
summit of tbe hills south of the eity before
the early breakfast hour, he will be de
lighted by a view that would charm his
imagination and possibly might give free
rein to the flight of his fa icv. Before him
would be spread a scene of mouutains, val
leys and rivec that haye never been de
picted by the artist's brush. In the fore
ground would flow the Columbia, like a

Astoria's Prospects.
In the following answer to tbe Si nth

muuity that is truly anomalous in Oregin:
"The South Bend Journal does not con-
der Astoria's rail.oad prospects very
brunt, and asserts with a degree of con
fidence that is amusing that several impor
tant deaths must first occur here before our
hopes are rea ized. 'Sometime,' sats the
Journal, 'Astoria will be, perhaps, one of
tbe most important porta of tbe coast, but
not nntil many changes .have taken place in
her mo ieyed- populace.' It would not hurt

Coal Discovery.
Albany JJtvld: F. H Dreis, a barber
residing at Tbe Dalles, claims to have
discovered a sia-foot vein of fine hitumi
ous coal on a ranch ia Clackamas county.
Tbe vein crops out upon the surface of a
high bluff oo tbe Clackamas river, and it
was owing to the fact that tbe water had
worn away the subsoil at tbe foot of the
bluff that tbe croppiogs were discovered.
Some specimens picked up by Mr. Drews
on the river bank: were taken to Portlaud
and tested. The coal is very clean, burns
well and gives good beat. Just now the
property upon which the vein is located
IS in litigation, but as soon as it is practi
cable Mr Prews intends to sink a shaft
on the vein, 1-M) feet above the level ot tbe
river, and to take out and ship a large
quality of the mincralHo Portland.

Tontine Funds Jeopardized as a General Surplus Available For Expenses.
Tontine is a system of forfeiture under which a liability is convertible into a delusive surplus," as under tie Tontine
system the LIABILITY (for deferred or confiscated dividends withheld in pool ostensibly for tbe benefit of persistent sur
vivors) is not only IGNORED; but this Tontine Fund is included in and nnjastly jeopardized with the general
surplus, and is also available for expenses. Tbe enormous expenses of the Tontine companies s .
below, and the great disappointment experienced with the results of the first drawing
of the Tontine lottery, prove not only this, but also that "Tontine is
more available to excite hopes of legitimate gains ''''
than it is to fulfill them."
