THE OREGON SCOUT. AMOS K. JONES EDITOR City and County Official Paper. Thursday, March 13, 1890. JUUTOlUAI, NOTK8. Young Abraham Lincoln died in London last Wcilcnsday. Tin: Cleveland Plain Dcalor truthful ly says: "The great central fignro in national politics to-day is Orover Cleveland." Tin: Kcpublican State Central Com mittco met in I'ortland on Wcdcnsday, and designated Portland, April lGth, at 11 a. in. as tho timo and place to nominate a full Stato ticket. The convention will consist of 218 delegates. It is recommended that primaries be held on Saturday, April fith and county conventions on April 9th. Tm: La Grande Journal peacefully expired last week. A cbuplo of heartless tailors were the attending physicians and killed tho patient with a dosu of garnishee. Tho dudes that tried to run it havo found out that two papers cannot be made to pay in a town not largo enough to support one. They will grow wiser as they grow older. Tiiuiti: is some talk of a convention of democratic editors to be held at Portland about tho 20th of this month to discuss tho bituations that arc liable to assume shapo during tho campaign. AVu havo no doubt such a meeting would iesult in much good and be a decided benefit to the party, as tho newspapers are leading factors in educating tho peoplo and moulding public opinion on all important questions. So.mktimi: ago Postmaster General Wannamaker sent us a four-lino ad concerning his rcady-mado clothing, or something of that sort, which we published according to directions. Our charge for tho samo was one dollar, but Hrothor Wannamakor fails to remit, although wo havo sont the bill to him twico. John is hereby uotilied that unless ho produces that dollar p. d. (. wo will paralyze him in our next issue. Til ism: is an alleged Judge in Jackson county, by tho name of L. It. Webster, who should oinmigrato to Jtutsia at his earliest convenience, as the met hods of that country would ex actly suit his taste and the Orcgonians havo no earthly uso for him. Ho recently lined and imprisoned thoeditor of tho Valley lleconl for expressing his opinion of the way public ollices wero conducted inthocounty. Webster is certainly tho most collossal ilguro of nrrogin ce, stupidity, vindietiveness and meanness to bo found in tho state. Tin: Union Stato Central Cemmittco has issued a call for a state convention of that party to meet in Portland Wodcnsday, April 1), at 10 a. in. to adopt a stato platform and nominate state olllcors to bo voted for at tho next stato election. It is recom mended that county conventions meet Wednesday, March 2'.) at 1 p. m. to elect delegates. Each county will bo allowed fi delegates for each senator and ruprosunlativu to which it may be entitled. Tho Stato Union party is a consolidation of tho Prohibition Labor and other parties except tho Democratic juid 1'opublicau. HUNT AND HIS UAII.llOADK. At a mass meeting of tho citizins of Poitland hold few days ago it was decided to accept tho proposition of G. W. Hunt to extend his system of railways into that city on tho condition that tho citi7.ons tako !f2,000.000 in bonds of tho road. Mayor Van Do La.shmult was chosen chairman, and in his long addross stated the object of the meeting. In explaining I hint's proposition, tho mayor said: "Tho distanco from his present terminus, Hunt'H Junction, to Portland is about 220 miles, and ho proposes to bond for $52,000 per milo, or $1)11,000,000 for 220 miles and ho asks Portland to subscribe $2,000,000, of this sum. These bonds aro to bo first mortgago bonds and aro to draw six per cent interest payable somi-annu-ally. Ho iato commonco building at tho Portland end, and for every ton inUes of const ructod road $100,000 ol tho bonds aro to bo issued, which will havo to bo paid for by subscribers. Tho head ollicers of tho road aro to bo at I'ortland." Mr. Hunt Mated ho expected to build tho toad tho prct-out reason and to haul into Portland a good Muuo of tho wheat. In building the road, ho Enid, ho should follow that louto which was for the best interest of the road and that this would of necessity, be the best possible route for the interests of Port land. Mr. Hunt has for a long time had his eye on Gray's Harbor as a terminal print for his system of railroads, but has aeked subscribers of the towns in the work, Ho has at last succeeded. A telegram from 1'acoma, of the Gth inst.says: "It was learned late to-night that tho necessary subsidies having been granted him, George W. Hunt has contracted with tho Gray's Harbor Company, of Gray's Harbor, to con struct a standard gauge railroad from deep water at Gray's Harbor, to a juction with tho North Pacific railroad at a point near Ccntralia. Mr. Hunt contracts to have the road ready for operation within eighteen months. Tho contract was filed lato this afternoon in the auditor's office at Monlesano. Of tho subsidies advanced the Gray's Harbor people give $000,000; Aberdeen, $13,000 ; Montesano, $05,000, and Ccntralia $00,000, making a total of $755,000." Uy tho successful consummation of his desires in this particular regards it would seem that Mr. Hunt has more plainly shown his hand with regard to his designs in tho way of securing a scacoast terminal for his as yet dis jointed Eastern line of road than he has ever done before, with a i-cacoast terminal already secured at Gray's Harbor, it is but natural to picsume that he will now push his Western extension toward L'entrana ana a junc tion with the road ho has juM boon subsidized to build. His lino to the sea, onco in operation, would prove undoubtedly a formidable competitor, to tho Northern Pacific, and if, as ho proposes, it. reached deep water by way of tho Columbia river and thence verged oil' at Ccntralia and joined tho Gray's Harbor line, it would compote for tho business tho Union Pacific has calculated its proposed northern extension would enjoy from Portland to tho Sound. To tho people of Union County, these movement!! of Mr. Hunt are satisfactory. It give us an outlet to various seaport cities and tho compe tition between these and the ett'ect of activo railroad competition cannot but be greatly to our advantage. Tin: koai ritAims. On tho 18th of February last Judge Sawyer, a corporation Judge of tho U. S. Circuit Court, District of Oregon, delivered his opinion in tho cates brought by the United States to declare forfeited tho lands of tho Dalles Mili tary Koad Co., and of tho Oregon Cen tral Military Koad Co., The bill urged by Grover Cleveland to forfeit these lands outright dillorcd from the ono introduced and passed by Senator Dolpli, which last preserved the rights of innoeent(?) third purchasers of those lands. Of courso these lands are all in the name of third purchasers now, and this is Dolph's loop-hole by which tho peoplo lost theso lands. Sawyer decides that tho suit of tho U. S. bo dismissed, and that tho title of the corporations to the lauds in controversy is porfeet. Tho peoplo are left holding the bag. Now tho average small fry republicans are applauding such fraud with open mouth. It is a perfect shame that men who aro elected by tho voles of many of the honest farmers who have made homes on these lauds, and who had confidence in tho honesty of their ropubliean office-holders, to be thus treated by Dolph and other corporation ollicers. But it seems that poor people- can oxpoot no roliof, as when G rover Clevuland tried to havo congress foifeit thou lands to tho settlers our republican roprsenta lives, headed by "our friond(?) Dolph' presented ami worked through a bill forfeiting thuso lauds to these heartless corporations; and now a good many of our ranchers will havo to either pay these people for tho homos thoy havo mado or move oil" on short notice. Malheur Gazette. a itKMdii ri:o ltmroi:. Tho editor of tho linker City Hindu has had a kind of religious awakening, as it weie, and has heon worrying over some statistics that have comu to his notice. Ho says: A visionary statistician has figured out that since the creation of Adam there has been 10.1,000,000,000 of peoplo who have lived and died and that of that number there are 175,000.000.000 of souls in hell and only 18,000,000,000 in heaven. This statistician might havo gone still further and told us how theso happy and unhappy souls mauago to pass away their eternity. His statement has left us in a very un satisfactory frame of mind. Tho biother htu, evidently, not attended ohuroh as often in ho ahuuld or ho would know that tin 1 8,000.000, (XX). in honwn bpend their dot nit; in playing on harp ami inui hosanuu ( while the 175,009,000,000, in bell pass j the time in weeping, wailing and gnash ing their teeth. This arrangement of things may not appear satisfactory at the first glance, but if our brother editor will stop and reflect a moment i he will perceive that it is all right. For instance: When all the editors arrive in heaven, which they aro euro to do in the long run, you find yourself comfortably located, get your musical inslrpmont tuned up and commence your song; you look around at tho gentleman on your light who is drown ing your voice with his glad rejoicing, and find that ho is a delinquent sub scriber who owes you $3,05 on your weekly edition, besides a ballancc due on a limber culture notice which you published for nine consecutive weeks and made affidavit to; you get howling mad and very justly conclude that things aro not evened up right. Don't you? Well, witii the present arrange ment you will not be troubled in that manner. The delinquent subscriber will be among the knashers. If the editor of the Blade will look at the situation in the proper light he will find that there is lots of comfort in it. Tfotluo J'nr Viihllcntlo!!. Lami Office : at La Uni.viu:.
