THE OKEIiOX JjOItTIIERS RAIL
WAV.
The project of the Oregon North
ern Railway which was started and
is being promoted by the residents
o? the great wheat belt runing
from Hardman, in Morrow county
to Blalock, on the Columbia River
in Gilliam county, is still active
and seems to be gaining ground in
encouragement with reasonable ex
pectation of final accomplishment
of the result desired.
That tbe promoters have found
ation for their work and substan
tial baeking and encouragment in
the enterprise is not questioned
however, the plans and methods
are not at this time to be made
public.
The preliminary survey from
Toll Rock, in this county, near
Parker' mill to iJlalock on the
Columbia River, a distance of 65
miles has been completed.
The farmes residing in the dis
trict through which the line is pro
posed are well organized. Enough
money has been subscribed to
carry on the necessary preliminary
work of establishing a permanent
survey and the securing of right of
way.
Some people are inclined
make light of the fact that the
capital stock of the first organiza
tion is only $25,000, when the con
struction of a railroad 65 miles in
length is contemplated. Id doing
this it only shows a lack of know
ledge of existing facts.
Elbe $25,000 subscribed will prob
ably be ample capital toaacomplish
all that is ii tended with this fund.
The disposition of the fund will be
lor the survey and right of way
which is a necessary step to inter
es capital in tbe enterprise.
Should this road be built, it will
mark a new era of growth in the de
velopment of a great country
where the agricultural possibilities
are now in their infancy.
Starting in a rich tiuber belt it
will traverse a continuous wheat
field, offering inducments to home
builders not equaled in the Northwest.
Frank Lea, the prince of wool
buyers, arrived in this city Mon
day evening from his home in San
Francisco.
Mr. Lee has made this territory
for many years and has a wide
acquaintance in Eastern Oregon.
In speaking of the wool market,
Mr. Lee said:
"It appears to me that tbe wool
growers are laboring under excite
ment in holding for prices that are
not warranted by the condition of
the market.
"Etstern Oregon growers are
asking prices that are equal to the
best prices of Australian wools.
"All of the manufacturers prefer
the Australian product and are
willing to give a little more for it
than for the domestic wools.
"Under present conditions buy
ers will not be able to do much
business."
Mr. Lee intends to be in
paer for a couple of months.
Hep-
Shoul Pay Taxes.
fleavy Sentence for Darla.
In the presence of a crod which filled
the large court room to its fullest capac
ity, ex-Deputy Sheriff C. P. Davis, was
this morning, sentenced to serve a term
of five years in the Oregon penitentiary
at Salem, an J in addition to pay a fine
of $3,4'. 0. This sum is twice the amount
of which Mr. Davis was convicted of hav
;ng embezzled. He was turned over to
the sheriff at once and will probably be
tiken to Salem in a few days.
About three minutes before the hour
appointed for the passing of sentence,
Judge E.Iis entered the room and called
for the defendant, C. P. Davis. He was
brought upstairs by Deputy Sheriff Funk
and was accompanied by his son, Paul.
After a short consultation with his law
yers in the attorney's room, he entered
with firm step and nprigbt bead, Jakiug
I ;s peat in f ont and to the left of the
bench.
At tbe command of Judge Ellis, Davis
aroe and with hands clasped behind his
back, stood unmoved during the entire
t:me that eentf nee was being pronounced.
7 marked contrast to him was the de
meanor of Judge Ellis, who was visibly
effected at being compelled to perform
fo difficult a task as passing sentence
upon a man who had been his friend and
neighbor for a number of years. The
kind heart of the judge undoubtedly
ehrank from this task as it never has
f-om any other. His voice trembled,
rid at times, it seemed as if it was al
most choked with emotion, while only
once during the passing of tbe sentence,
and then only for an instant, did his eyes
meet tboe of the prisoner at the brr.
Just at the close of his remarks be look
ed Davis in the face as be saiJ: "I
want to assure you, that I have no feel
ing in my heart, otbes then kindness
toward you." Be then dropped bis eyes
and with trembling voice pronounced
the sentence.
Tbe assessment rolls are nearly ready
for tbe payment of taxes. On the rolls
the Democrat is unable to find the
names of Montgomery Ward & Co. and
Sears, Roebuck & Co. For some reason
or other these people have not been
assessed though doing a big business in
Oregon. They take a great deal of
money oat of tbe valley without putting
much in except as a rule some very
cheap grade goods. People who support
them might well stop and think whether
it is a fair deal tor the taxpayers of the
state, tbe merchants wbo pay a big
lamp of the taxes, besides keeping up a
great many enterprises through their
personal liberality, such as subscribing
for new woolen mills, etc., things Moat
eomerv Ward fc Co , and the other
eastern concerns of like character never
do. These are things worth thinking
about before sending your money for
things von can get just as cheap at
home and know what yon are doing.

Something: New in Magazine Making
THE SCRAP BOOK is the most elastic thing that ever happened in the way of a
magazine elastic enough to carry anything from a tin whistle to a battleship. Every
thing that appeals to the human brain and human heart comes within its compass fiction,
which is the backbone of periodical circulation; biography, review, philosophy, science,
art, poetry, wit, humor, pathos, satire, the weird, the mystical everything that can be
classified and everything that cannot be classified. A paragraph, a little bit, a saying,
an editorial, a joke, a maxim, an epigram.
Nothing Like It in the World
There isn't anything in the world just like THE SCRAP BOOK. It is an idea on
which we have been working for several years, and for which we have been gathering
materials. We have bought hundreds and hundreds of scrap books from all over the
country, some of them a century old, and are still buying them. From these books we
are gathering and classifying an enormous number of gems, and facts and figures, and
historical and personal bits that are of rare value. Furthermore, we have a corps of peo
ple ransacking libraries, reading all the current publications, the leading daily papers,
and digging out curious and quaint facts and useful facts and figures from reference book,
cyclopedia, etc., etc.
Don't fail to get a copy of this first issue of THE SCRAP
BOOK. It sells at the price at which all our other maga-
2ines sell Ten Cents a Copy and One Dollar by the Year.' Vis'

Guayaquil, Ecuador, Feb. 15 The
first shock of the earthquake which
caused so much damage and loss of life
in the province of Esmeraldas was felt
at 10 o'clock on January 31, the disturb
ance continuing at short intervals until
February 6. The inhabitants, panic
stricken, abandoned their homes and
families and are still living in the open
air, fearing a repitition of the shocks.
In the neighborhood of Port Llmones,
four small islands disappeared. These
Islands were inhabited by fishermen,
who escaped in small boats, in which
they were at sea for three days until the
water became sufficiently calm to enable
them to reach the mainland.
The city of Esmeraldas was nearly in
undated by a tidal wave, which entered
the port, flooding tbe principal streets.
All the inhabitants ran for the moun
tains in the neighborhood.
All the towns in the Provinces of Es
meraldas and Manabi were greatly dam-
aped, especially Rio Verde, Camarones,
La Tolo, Limones, Borbonand Pingaugi,
the most of the inhabitants of which are
homeless.
At the Colombian towns of Mosquera,
San Juan and Domingoratc more than 300
persons perished. Anti.-quia and other
Colombian departments suffered hevy
damage. AtTuquerras five persons per
ished under the ruins of falling houses.
Manizales suffered heavily.
