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cific Northwest was rescinded.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. Thoy worn horn with minds al

place before our readers a summary of
its provisions.

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.

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."
