THE OREGONM RAILROAD LIME Eastern Oregon Loses a Prospect for a to Road. HUXTIXGTOX GAIXS A 1'OIXT. Special to The Astouian.1 San Fbakcisco, Dec. 23. South eastern Oregon has lost its prodpects of having a new railroad for very unique reasons, says n local paper to day. Some Scotch capitalists induced O. P. Huntington somo months ago to buy tie Oregon railroad, which runs from East Portland along tho East side of Willamette river to Coburg. Huntington made the purchase on behalf of the Southern Paciflc com pany, or at least that was his inten tion, aud he was very much surprised and put out when Colonel Crocker and Senator Stanford objected on the ground that they had not been con sulted in the matter. Huntington was indignant at their action and somo tnrtTemarks were made on both sides. Hnntington did succeed in getting Mrs. Hopkins-Searls to assume half of the indebtedness incurred by the franchise of tho road and tho Now York magnato then proceeded to ex tend tho road south from Coburg as an enterprise entirely separate from tho Southern Pacific company. He first built from Coburg to Springfield and from the latter place a large surveying party made a survey fifty-four milea long, through the country between the middle and coast forks of tho Willamette river. This show of railroad activity aroused great interest in that section of Oregon, many believing that a now line to Ogden from Portland was to be built. In tho past three weeks their hopes have taken flight. The surveyors have been called in and all work has ceased. Stanford and Crocker have finally agreed to have the road joined to the Southern Pacific system and the wealthy railroad ramily being at peace once more Huntington has abandoned any idea he may have entertained of extending the new road regardless of interests of the Southern Pacific hues in Oregen: An.

Blaine's Message to Go to Con gress Very Soon. Special to TnE Astorian.1 Washikgtok, Dec. 23. Secretary Blaine's letter to congress may appear much sooner than was expected, and more light may bo thrown on tho de cidedly mixed and unsatisfactory mat ters connected witu tne Uehnnir sea seal question. Jb rom authentic sources it is learned that tho communication may reach tho senate before January 1st, and that the f nil correspondence between Blaine and Salisbury, which occurred subsequent to that contained in Blaine's last report, will bo made pub lic. It can be stated almost positively, however, that overtures for arbitration have been made to tho English gov ernment, with the agreement that no more fishing will bo allowed until there has been a complete examina tion of seal fishing grounds by repre sentatives of both governments, either separately or together, as may bo de cided npon ALASKA'S REPKJESEWTATIVja, Captain Carroll ''Catcuiny On To Things" in Washington.

Ho has been interviewing members of the house during the holidays, and as Struble himself will be absent from the city he will not bring his case before tho house until after the first of January but in the meantime he intends to bring the subject of his admission to the attention of individ ual members of congress. Captain Carroll will earnestly advo cate the establishment of a territorial form of government for Alaska and the many reasons he will bet forth why the territory should be thu3 organized are liable to attract consid erable attention.

Many Prominent len Belonrto Tie Orfler. AX TTXTItETEXTIOJIS CHARITY. During his address at the banquet yesterday morning Dr. Quinlinmade somo very interesting statements con cerning the origin and growth of the order, for ho Jie is a very interesting speaker. Among the prominent men of the country there are many who belong to the Elks, including several senators and congressmen, and officers of tho army and navy. Governors Campbell, of Ohio and Peck, of Wisconsin, are very active members in their respective localities. The order had its origin in the city of New York in 1867, the membership being confined to members of the theatrical fraternity and professional men. No. 2 was instituted in Phila delphia, and thenco there was a long jump across tho continent to San Francisco whero lodge No. 3 was or ganized. The fourth lodge was instituted in Chicago, of which Dr. Quinlin has been many years a member, and several years exalted ruler. There is but ono grand body, and every subordinate lodge in .the country, reports directly to that, and only one lodge can ba had in any city, which is a good feature, as it prevents dissatisfied members or those who have been disappointed in office from withdrawing from a lodge and organiz ing a new one, as has often been done in other orders. Another grand feature o the Elka, is the manner in which they dispense charity to an unfortunate member, as no member is allowed to divulge the name of a brother who receives assist ance from the order. Tho principles or charity, brotherly love, justice and fidelity are beautifully illustrated by impressive forms and ceremonies, and form the fundamental structure of tho organization. So strongly are these exemplified that the members aro bound by the strongest ties not only to each other but to protect the honor of a brother's family, and to care for them in case of his absence, sickness and death. Its principles are equal if not supe rior to those of any other order, and there is no doubt but that the growth will be very rapid, as new lodges are springing up in all sections. Dr. Qunlin is a praiseworthy exam ple of the order, and is so universally beloved by the members that he is familiarly and respectfully styled, "the Grand Old Man." No man can be a member of the order who is lacking in qualities and principles of manhood, or who is not universally respected and esteemed by his fellow men. The next session of the grand lodge will be at Louisville, Kentucky the third week in May, and the members in that city are making extensive preparation for a rousing and hospit able reception ot tne delegates. j A NASAL ItfJEOTOR free with j e ich bottle of Shiloh's Catarrh Remedy Price 50 cents.
