THE OREGON SCOUT. AMOS K. JONKS KDITOIt City and County Official Paper, Thursday, May 2nd, 1SSO KUlTOltlAIi NOTKS. ahoma was opened to HOttlC W&ilcnt last vqolc. Guthrio wits laid out aim Di'cnmu u un v 111 uuu nuy, u muuk opened with a capital of $50,000, a daily newspaper, the Oklahoma Herald, was started, and n, city election was held. This is the greatest of all West ern booms. It is unprecedented in the history of this country. At a special meeting of the North cm Pacific directors, Thursday, the resolution agreeing to nn arbitration contract for the control and harrwonr ous operation of the roads in the l'a cific Northwest was rescinded. This ends the scheme of obtaining i joint lease of the Oregon Railway A Navigation lines by tho Northern Pa cific with the Union Pacific, and throws tho burdens of tho lease on the Union Pacific. li. 0. Invkntou Em.hon, together with Hon. Thos. Lowry, of Minneapolis, pat cntcd a steam "lingangraph." This "lingangraph" is designed to bo used on locomotives in place of tho steam whistle. Tho machine talks instead of shrieks. Instead of whistling down brakes, it bellows thu word "brakes." It is all a question of pipes, valves and koy board, and when tho thing is fi nally perfected it will toot the names of all tho stations along tho lino. It has been n surprise to many that Sheriff Hamilton has not attempted to explain the serious accusations recently brought against him by county judge G'oodall. If the matter can bo satis factorily explained. Mr. Hamilton owes it to the lax payers of tho county whose servant ho is to riso and make things clear to them. To treat as ser ious a mattcrjis this appears to be, with "silent contempt" is not at all satis factory to tho people of tho county who have a right to know tho "true inward ness" of tho whole matter. Our col umns are open to Mr. Hamilton. Tin: Dai.i.kh Timcn-Momitaiiieer and Pendleton Tribune are holding forth tho advantages of "homo trade" and telliing thoir vendors that they never ought to patronize a mun in Now York or Chicago who has anything lo boll, even if ho Can sell if for half what it can bo bought for at homo, on tho ground that everybody should support "homo industry." This stull' iu prob ably popular, but what rank nonsense it is. If a man can save twenty dol lars himolf, isn't it as much advan tage to him as if ho gives it to his neighbor, instead of to uomebody abroad? Tho wholo idea, policy and and practice of protection is founded and built upon delusion and fraud. These are tovero words to use, but nothing lens will do to describe the iniquity which the people aro suffering under and submitting to. Hast 0ro nian. Wr. nro iu receipt of a pamphlet containing an address by Jacob New man, of North Powdor, "concerning an experience of religion." Air. New man claims to ho a "Christian in every sonso of tho word," but is not exactly iu accord with tho churches of to-day. Hois probably more of a Unitaiian than anything else. After wrestling with Iho subject for a long time in j turmoil of mind and tribulation of spirit ho "found by examination of tho scriptures and JoKophus' interpre tation of tho prophecies that tho doc trine of future endless misery vanished like smoko," and ho now assorts such leaching lo lie "a curso lo tho world and a slander upon tho divine charac ter," and defines his belief in .tho fol lowing words: "Now, instead of be lieving in tho Deity of Jesus, 1 believe in hi) humanity; instead of believing iu tho total depravity of man, l heliovo iu his divinity. Instead of believing iu eternal punishment I believe in eternal hope for all tho world." Wo aro pleased to uuto tho rapid progress of brother Newman, and trust that his mind will be cntin-ly fiond from tho blighting effects of a superstition and horror which ho has no doubt inheri ted from his rigidly orthodox fore fathers. Hohas already got onto a piano of common sense that will mako his latter years happier than his first. The- great majority of inou who havo coino upon the stage of notion during tho present generation havo not had such an experience, and cannot havo it.

Section I ercatog n State Board of Horticulture consisting of six members,' to bo appointed by the governor, ono from tho state at Urge and ono each from the live districts into (which the state is divided. The conntifib'of Ma rion, Linn, Lake, Lino and Benton comprito tho 2nd district. .Section 2 provides the term of ofiico of the board shall be four years, but three of tlio.se first appointed shall re tire at tho end of two years. ' Section .'1 provides that tho board may employ a secretary and prescribe his duties, and elect ono of their own members treasurer.

Tho board shall meet on the fcccond Monday of April and October of each your fur consultation and adop tion of those measures that will !est promote the horticultural industries of tho state. It may send out persons to lecture on the best methods of treating the diseases of fruits and fruit trees, cleansing orchards and exterminating orchard pests, but this shall bo done without expense lo the state. Section fi provides that'thc office of tho board shall be located where tho majority may determine. Section (i provides that tho board may suggest regulations for the in spection and disinfection of fruit trees, grafts, scion, orchard debris, empty fruit boxes or packages and other sus pected material or transportable articles langerous to orchards, fruits and fruit trees, which regulations shall bo oircula- ed in printed form among the fruit dealers of the state and shall be posted n thrco conspicuous places in each county of tho state, ono of which shall )o at tho court house in such counties. Section 7 provides that tho board shall elect from thoir own number, or appoint from without their number, a competent person who shall bo known as "inspotor of fruit pests" who shjill visit the horticultural districts of tho utate; lo seo that all regulations of said board to provont tho spread of fruit posts and diseases of trees and plants injur ious to tho horticultural interests of tho state ami for disinfection of fruits trees, plants, grafts, beions, orchard. dobris, empty fruit boxes and packages and other material, are mudo known to tho people of the state. Ho shall under tho direction of tho board, and on his own motion and upon complaint of interested parties inspect orchards, nurseries and other infected places and report the facts to tho board, lie shall report to tho board I ho best methods of diminishing and eradicating fruit pests and fruit diseases. Section 8 provides that it shall bo tho duty of the board, upon complaint that any person has an orchard, nursery, fruit packing house, store room or any other place iu the utalu which is in fected with any noxious insect liable to spread contagion to cause an in spection to bo iiiadu of such promises and, if found infected, they shall notify the owner or the person in posses sion of said trees or places, and shall np.ire such owner or person to mako application of such treatment, for tho purpose of dimtroyiug them, as tho board may prmvibo, Said notice shall be served by any member of the hoard, or any ono deputed by thorn, or it may bo served as a summons in a civil action. If such person after be ing notified to make application of treatment as directed shall fail, neglect or refuse io to do ho, shall bo deemed guilty of maintaining a public nuisuneo and his infected trees or places shall bo adjudged and they aro hereby de clared a public uuuunco and may bo proceeded against as such.

Opinion cf tlin Chtcf Unslnccr On Hie Ynrloin Iloutrn. Mr. P. Piffle, chief engineer of tho (. fc W. T. railroad, was in Pendleton, Monday, and was seen and interviewed by an Euxl Oregonian representative with regard lo tho object of his visit. "I came down," he replied, "for the express purpoio of seeing Mr. Hunt, jrho is now in Pendleton, regarding an erroneous impression generally enter tained at and in the vicinity of Wes ton. The idea prevailing seems to be that Mr. Hunt has contracted with tho people of tho Grande Rondo valley lo connect that section with Pugct Sound by way of Walla Walla, and by no other route. In my conference with Mr. Hunt to-day, he stated, and wants it distinctly understood, that no such terms were mentioned in the agreement. What he really agreed to do was to civc tho Grande Ponders connection with Pugct Sound by way of any practicable route over tho Blue Mountains that might be decided up on, without regard to any particular town os, section. He may sec fit to mako such connection via either Wcs ton, Centervillo, Pendleton or Walla Walln, depending altogether on the most feasible pass selected by the sur veyors. "The force of surveyors is now loca ted at Weston, biit have a preliminary lino already established from the sum mit to Centervillo via Weston. They havo made a icconnaissanco of the Umatilla pass, and propose to make a survey of that and several other passes before arriving at a decision. "The fact is, wo don't want people to imagine that wo aro favoring or sup porting any particular town or towns at tho expense of others. This is a secondary ami unimportant considera tion altogether, and the question of feasibility of routes surveyed will have tho only real bearing upon our final decision The lino from tho summit to Hunt's Junction via Walla Walla will be forty miles longer than by way of Centervillo or Pondletoi)) and con siderable inducements iu tho matter of easy grades, etc., must bo found in favor of that routo before its final ac ceptance, if decided upon." "With regard to the routo over tho mountains south of Pendleton, by way of Fletcher's coal mines, have you over given it any consideration?" "Yes, and wo expect to survey and thoroughly examine it if the 0. ' W. T. ruihoud is extended to Pendleton, with a view of extending tho lino across tho mountains and beyond." IlRi'ur.LU'AN rule is getting to be synonymous with minority rule. Vhat party has tho president, though tho democrats got nearly 100,000 more of tho popular vote. It has tho gov ernor in Connecticut, though tho dem ocratic candidato polled 1,100 more votes. It has now secured all the State ofllces, savo one, in Rhode Is land, though llio democrats polled 4,300 moro votes than the republicans; and it holds tho legislature in Now York, a State which has gone demo cratic seven times in succession. Casual notice of tho timber land filings in various papers, says tho As tonan, shows that a largo portion of tho applications to purchaso timber laud are made by women. A woman, married or single, ovor eighteen years of ago, has tho same rights in the nialtor that a man has, and can mako application and secure 100 acres of t timber laud just as a man can. Tho 1 only provision is that it must bo with j her own money, easily arranged. Hut that can A Hood Itt'.-tsmi, lie was an earnest preacher of the gopol and intensely dovotcd to tho idea that his parishioners should faith- fully fulfill ovory worldly obligation between ouch other. With this purposo iu view of impressing this duty upon the minds of his congregation he called upon all who had freely paid all thoir debt to arise. Tho whole audience, with the exception of a forlorn editor, arose. A fervent "Thank Clod" fell from the lijw of tho deeply moved min ister. The editor arco and said that it pained him very much to bo compel- I led U confetti that he had not paid all hie dobtP anil the inly excuse he had to offer tor lit dort liotion of duty was that nearly all the member of the con gregation prefent were in arrears on subscription and ho was therefore unable to pay his little debt. "There is calm for those that weop," but that audience did not weep any, hut they i felt the other thing striving to ho I heard. Am .'i 1 1 nt - mid : ri- ' itl Mi Kim li.nf' Ilcm f.t of the Hunt Kunrt to Wnlln Walla. The Walla Walla Statesman says: "Time accomplishes great wondors, and Walla Walla's prospects aro bright ening every day. Six months ago tho builder ond contractor was compelled to purchase lumber and etc., in Port land or Dayton, now the market has been extended until tho mills between Portland and Tacoma, thirty-two in number, besides innumerable mills be tween Tacoma and Yakima, havo all been brought within our purchasing radius, J he Jiunt road lias made a freight rate of 20 cents per hundred or if 10 per car of 10 tons on rough or dressed lumber, laths shingles, ect., be tween Tacoma and Walla Walla, or Eureka Plat. The rates arc the same to Walla Walla from Portland by the O. R. fc N. Co. and tho O. fc W. T., and the rates from Tacoma. via the N. P. aro the same as from Portland over the O. It. it N. Ono of tho greatest benefits of the Hunt road to Walla Walla in general, and to tho shippers of fruit and vege tables iu particular is that the Spokane Falls and Sound markets can now be reached by freight trains, the former in 21 hours and tho latter in twenty-six. Consignees of fruit and vegetables at these places are delighted with the facility and promptitude with which thoy now receive their goods, and state that the vegetables, etc., arrive before the letters containing the bills, and shipping receipts, thus beating Uncle Sam's mail. This prompt delivery of goods will havo a most salutary effect on the fruit and vegetable markets of this valley, encouraging a greater production, and consequently promot ing the general prosperity of the entire community." -And his- AT- Wright's Hall, Admission, f)0e, Reserved Scats, 75c.
