The attempt of the ring to force Mr. Dolph upon the people stope at nothing. Tbe an tie, however, are true to tbeir promises in every particular. Nothing is overlooked that bears in it a spirit of reform and retrenchment, or that is for the benefit of the masses, regardless of party. They have also been on the alert to thwart all measures not in Beoord with ths the people's interests, but on the contrary favorable to trusts, combines and the machine. Heretofore the maobine has dominated in both branches of the legislature, but this time it is very difflonlt for it to manage tbe npper house, which has too many independent senators who are, in tbe vernacular of the age,"onto them selves." The Gazette readers have been in formed as to tbe merits and demerits of tbe two new ohaters proposed, which, in justioe to both, contain some very good things, but at the same, time con tain so many bad ones that as they now stand both should be beaten. Tbe proposed board of publio works is a scheme to give a few riob men life time jobs and to put them in position to get tbeir asphalt paving concern on the inside, employing thousands of men, who at the ring's dictation would form loose men enough to control primaries and eleotions for a whole generation. Under suoh domioatiou Multnomah County can and will oontrol the state forever in tbe interest of a few men. So a private or looal matter becomes of an exceedingly public nature in the above mentioned oases. The charges that a "saok" Is being used to influence legislators against tbe Multnomah oounty measures, come from the gang who have corrupted the whole state in their desire to rule, and it falls very flat. It is also the same orowd who are using all the corrupt means known to man to elect Mr. Dolph, Hon. H. W. Corbett's big banquet, given at Portland last night, was a flat failure. It was given to influence the legislature to pass the ring's measures, particularly one of the charter bills. All present exoept five were antis, and of these five two were populist and three republioans who aocepted tbe invitation to "keep posted." They were not long in learning tbe full purpose of the meeting. Tbe machine's fallen fortune reminds me of Mark Twain on Sitting Bull, after bis subjugation by the government. It was like this: "Ths war cry of the ohieftain could assemble the warriors like tbe leaves of tbe forest, bnt now be can yell till tbe oows come home and be can't get out a oorporal's gusrd. Representative Patterson, by tbe as sistance of Senator Gowau in the upper bouse, has passed some local measures of benefit. The last being tbe passage of ths bill relative to tbe incorporation of Prairie City. From what your correspondent can learn Dolph will never be elected, though it may be no senator at all, yet it is quite likely that a compromise will be ef fected. Davb. Piles! Piles!

Work of the Railroad Commission. Attorney Frank Kellogg, of this city, is in reoeipt of a letter bearing date of Feb. 5, 1895, from Hon. I. A. Maorum, on behalf of tbe board of railroad com missioners, of wbicb Air. ftlBorum is obairman, relative to petitions sent the board asking- for a rednotion of grain rates from Douglas station on the Hepp ner branch. Tbe commission baa given the matter their careful attention and will undoubtedly be able to aooomplisb mnch good in the interests of our people in procuring for tbem the desired redno tion in freight rates. Mr. Maornm in his letter says : "In order to facilitate the matter, tbe oommlssion have deemed it prudent to present the matter to Mr. E. McNeill, receiver of the O. B. & N. Co., in an informal way and thereby as certain tbe beat method to pursue in the matter. As soon as Mr, MoNeill re turned, we presented tbe matter to him. We went fully into the merits of tbe oase, showing to bim tbat tbe present condition of wheat raising was suob that if tbe farmer oouldnot obtain some relief and better returns for bis oroDs, that wheat raising would from necessity, be abandoned and tbe business wbiob tbe railroad obtained therefrom would be out off, and tbat tbe railroad was more interested in tbe continued production of wheat than any other party. "From tbe interview it was found tbat whilst Oold Springs station in given a grain rate oil tbe freight sohedule, there is in fact, do grain shipped from that point, bat as all tbe stations are listed on the schedule, whether grain is shipped therefrom or Dot, it has its place on tbe schedule. "We also find that the Heppner branch (and all similar branohes) is maintained and operated at considerable expense be yond what would be necessary to do tbe asms business on the main line, and that a reasonable charge higher than tbat for a corresponding distanoe on tbe main line, would not in itself be an unjust dis crimination. We find also tbat grain rates for 1895 are now under consideration by the O. R. A N. Oo., and we feel confident tbat we shall be able to obtain a reduction in tbe present rates when a decision is finally reached. From tbe full investigation of tbe whole matter, and the prospects for a folnre reduction, and taking into con sideration tbat tbe larger portion of tbe crop of 1894 baa already been moved, and the possibility tbat lbs sohedule (or 1895 may be pat into effect before all tba bal ansa ef lbs grain is shipped eat, are Dry Goods Boots & Shoes At prices to compete with any cash store in the country.
