Tli OREGON STATESMAN -' i FROM FRIDAY'S DULY. A RlDIClT.01'8 REQflBEMENT. A gen tleman of this city, who desired to pur chase two tickets to San Francisco, telegraphed to E. P. Rogers, general passenger agent of the O. & C, asking him to send him immediately two limited through tickets to San Francisco. Mr. Rogers responded that it could not he done. The gentleman insisted, and tele graphed him f44, the price of two tickets from Portland, and asked him to send the tickets that evening without fail, as the ladies for whom he wanted the tick ets desired to start the next duv. The passenger agent replied, saying that the ladies could not hoard the train at Salem and go to San Francisco on a through ticket; but it would be necessary for them to go down to Portland, board the train there, and start from that place to San Francisco! The gentlemen there upon sent $00 for two unlimited tickets, which can be used at any time and from any station. This is one" of the methods the present management of the O. & C. I has of extorting eight dollars on each ticket sold to buyers living outside of roruand. It is nothing short of rohherv of time and money to require any one to go irom raiem to Portland to board tram which comes immediately back tnrongh halem. THE NEW LAWS. List of Those Which Go into Ef fect To-day A Number of Sjki ial Laws. Heavy Wheat Shipments. W. Crosby, who has been buying wheat Salem and other Willamette valley towns for the hrm of Moore, Furgeeon & Co., of oau rranciseo, nue lett tor that city, go ing overland. He will return in a few weeus. During the past season Mr. Cros by has shipped 940,000 bushels of wheat and oats, and has purchased ready for shipment a sufficient amount to increase nese ngures to 1,500,000 bushels. This grain was purchased from Marion, Linn and Benton counties and from sonthern Oregon, and of this amount 018,000 bush els were shipped via Yaquina and 22,000 via i omanu. x he cause for such a large portion of Oregon grain being shipped over the Yaquina line is found in the fact that the low rate of transportation over iius snorter route has brought the price of wheat inalein to as high a figure as ib uuereu in roruand. j.uis season is the nrai ume in the history of Salem when wheat wa worth as much here as Portland. hill be .represented. For a time it looked as though Salem intended to throw off entirely on the firemen's tour nament, uut it now transpires that a hose team has been organized and will soon go into active training for the cham pion nose contest at the tournament fconie time since, several of the members of Capital Engine company, following tiie jweceueiu, esuttmsneu last year by the Astoria firemen, withdrew from " then company and joined Tiger's. The latter company now intends to send a mixed team to the tournament, to be known as Tiger Hose Team, which will make a nooie pun lor the championship of 1887 its members are as follows: Howard, ;. umBmore, Jordan, McCullv Minto, V., Martin, Thomas, Minto, H Thornton, Long, Wagner, Nichols, Lowe.
