The contract between the Ore gon Railway & Navigation com pany, the Oregon Short Line Rail way company, the Union Pacific Railway company and the North ern Pacific Railroad company, known as the Oregon Navigation lease, is a very lone; document, full of lej;al verbiage and compli cation. The effect of it is to lease the O. R. & N. Co. to the other three companies for a term of ninety-nine years. It begins by reciting the fact that the Oregon Navigation company leased all its property to the Oregon Short Line on January 1, 1SS7, including rail roads, steamships, wharves, ware houses, telegraphs, real estate, etc., and that the Union Pacific com pany became a party to the lease, and guaranteed the performance of the obligations of the Short Line company. It being deemed beneficial to all the companies that the Northern Pacific should become a party to the lease, the three original par ties agreed that the Short Line should grant to the Northern Pa cific an undivided one-half of all its right and title to the lease, sub ject to two or three modifications. The Short Line agrees to make schedules of all the property of the Oregon Navigation company by July 1, 18SS, and mark all rolling stock Oregon Railway & Navigation company. The Short Line agrees to pay one-half of all the rents and charges, and the Northern Pacific agrees to do like wise, and the Union Pacific con tinues to be the guarantor of the Short Lino company. The lease provides that the Northern Pacific shall have charge of the country north of Snake river. To this end the Northern Pacific gets posses sion of the Columbia & Palouse railroad. The leased company will be in charge of two agents and an audi tor and treasurer appointed by the presidents of the Short Line com pany and the Northern Pa.-iliu company, who shali appoint a gen eral manager. In case of disagree ment on any question, the presi dents of the Short Line, the Nort'i em Pacific and the Oregon N'iv gation shall act as arbitrator- settle-tho dispute. After pr. mh ing for the expense the gem-ial manager of the Oregon Navigation shall remit one-half of the balance of the revenue to the treisuier of the Short Line and one-half to the treasurer of the Northern Pacific. The officers of the leased company can be removed by the written or der of either the president of the Short Line or the Northern Pacific on ten days' notice. If the North ern Pacific shall default in its pay ments under the lease for thirty days the Short Line company shall enter upon all the property of the leased company and the Northern Pacific company interest in the lease shall cease. If the Union Pacific and Short Line default the Northern Pacific may enter upon the property of the leased compa ny and hold it solely to its own use. In view of the doubt as to the legal ability of the Northern Paci fic and Union Pacific to enter upon the obligations they assume, it is agteed that when such inability is ascertained by "competent final judicial authority" the lease shall be at an end as far as the ineligible company is concerned, but no lia bility shall attach to the Northern Pacific in consequence of such dis ability on the part of the Union Pacific. In case the Northern Pa cific is not legally competent, "the Short Line company may, at its op tion, declare this indenture at an end so far as the Northern Pacific company is concerned," and the Short Line company shall then have sole control of the property, and the original lease with the Oregon Navigation will be in force. If there be no disability discovered on the part of any of the principals for ten years it is agreed that they shall all be con sidered competent. It is further provided that the Oregon Naviga tion Company shall be put in first class condition, that the wooden bridges shall be replaced by iron ones, and the Oregon Navigation furnishes $500,000 for these better ments. An equitable arrange ment is mada as to rates of freight to and from Tacoma and Portland, and from both these points to "Wal lula Junction. All the provisions of the lease tend towards mutual interests, and arbitration is pro vided in all cases of dispute. To provide for the Spencer-Ervin suit against the Oregon Navigation Company and for other contingen cies that company sets aside $1, 000,000. Just Perfectly Awful. There was once an awful little girl who had an "awful" habit ol saying awful to everything. She lived in an awful house, in an aw ful street, in an awful village which was an awful distance from every other awful place. . She went to an awful school, where she had an awful teacher, who gave her awful lessons out of aw ful books' Every day she was so awful hungry that she ate an aw ful amount ot awful food, so that she looked awful healthy. She weut to an awful church, and her minister was an awful preacher. Her hat was awful small and her feet awful large. When she took an awful walk she climbed awful hills, and when she got awful tired she sat down under an awful tree to rest her awful self. In summer she found the weather awful hot, in winter awful cold. When it didn't rain there was an awful drought, and when the awful drought was over there was an awful rain. So that this awful girl was all the time in an awful state, and if she does not getover saying awful about everything she will bye and bye come to an awful end. Can't Jlake Anytliinz Like It.
