Our Future Prospects.
The opinion seems to bo current
among tho conservative business men
and capitalists of this city that tho
coming season will be a comparatively
prosperous one in the building Hue.
Already the prospects of new resi'
deuces to quite a number being huilt
are good. That there will be a olass of
emigrants turning their attention to
wards tliis state, who nave some
meaus and who will be able to do
something for the developement of the
country, is also good, almost certain.
Of them a certain proportion are nat
urally laborers with a trade. These
will move to a town rather than n
ranch or farm, and their arrival cro
ates a demand lor residences that the
supply will probably not be equal to.
Investment in real estate just at the
present quiet times is bettor than mon
ey at interest. Considerable such in
vestments are being mado now, and
when the reaction is started, which it
is bound to do by tho common course
of events before long, and the demand
for property is greater, and the sale at
real value an easy matter, then the
folly of not investing in the present
timo will be seen, but too late. No one
can say that any of the comparatively
large towns in the West will grow
smaller, nor can the possibilities of
their growth be measured either. For
as the country develops and is capable
of the proper application of its resources
to sustain a larger working population,
the numerous small towns now dotting
our map will have grown into cities of
some size, and many more towns, yet
unthought of, will be scattered around
us as trade, centers of a rapidly develop
ing country. This is not a visionary
idea but what cannot help but be the
natural outcome of the present state
of affairs. v

Who Will Buy Tula Brave Estate ef

Corvallis Times: Speculation is rife
as to who will buy and what will bo
paid for the Oregon Paciflo at the
sheriffs sale of the property next Sat
urday. Eight times tho outfit has
been offered for sale, aud two of those
times there has been bidders, with next
Saturday's doings still to hear from.
The sale is advertised to take place at
1 o'clock, aud with tho hints that have
gone the rounds to the effect that there
will be bidders, it is probable that a
crowd will be on baud to sco tho road
part company with the people who
paid f 14,800,000 for its construction, it
is currently believed that Hammond
and Bonner of Montana, will bid on
the road, but whether they will build
eastward or move it down to (111 their
Astoria contract is veiled in mystery.
B. B. Jackson, three or four weeks ago
in Corvallis, and a week ago In Port
land, reputed to be at the head of suffi
cient capital to make a good bid, has
made Inquiries of the right persons for
information that leaves tho Inference
that he might tako a shot at the pro
perty. A letter received In this oity
this week from W. T. Schenok, once
with the O. P., but now assistant chief
engineer of the New York Central,
with headquarters In New York City,
states that he hns information that
there is certain to be a sale of tho old
road this timo. Lawyer Goodfellow of
Ban Frauoisoo, and Wallls Nash, visit
ed Corvallis several days this weok,
and when asked gave out that he was
tho representative of certain certificate
holders. For two days he searched O.
records in the court house, and this
leads some people to think thai he may
have the road knooked down to him.
The reader will bear in mind that the
foregoing is all froth aud to be accept
ed for what good froth is usually
worth.

Against The Slaughter of Game.
A petition is being circulated In thli
county asking that the legislature pro
hibit tbe Indians on the various reser
vations in the state from hunting off
the lauds set apart for them. What
started this movement was the need
less and uncalled for slaughter of large
numbers of deer and elk in the Cascade
mountains last summer by tho Indl-
ans, who went there from their resor
vatlons to hunt. Equipped as they
wero with tho latest improved Ore'
arms and going in largo numbers, they
wero able to slaughter by the whole
sale, which they did. Many of the
state papers spoke of it at the time and
regret was expressed that the Indians
were thus allowed to hunt. We un
derstand that several prominent mem.
bcrs of the coming legislature are tak
inn an interest in this and will use
their influence t have the petitioners'
prayers answered. We learn that sev-
eral ether counties will present similar
petitions, so that It will probably be
brought before the legislature
a way that will command their atten
tion.
