Many of the uuwsiwnors of Oregon,
iu commenting on the republican con
vention have stated gravely, as a
mutter of note, that Hermann's elec
tion as eitndiihito did lint occur until
the "lust bnllut. " We have never
heard, in such a case as this, of a
candidate's being elected on nny bal
lot except the lust
There are now four cnudidutcs In
the fluid for tho special election of a
congressman for tho First District of
Oregon, to be held on Monday, June
1st, as follows: liinger Hermann,
of Rosehurg, republican ; A. K.
Kennies of Jacksonville, democrat;
J. W. Inglo of Corvullls, socialist ;
and W. P. Elmore of Urowusvllle,
prohibitionist.
President Roosevelt this week is
hunting cougars and w.lves iu the Yel
lowstone park. His )Klitical enemies
are sadly disappointed because he does
Dot limit deer, oik and buffalo, so that
they might criticise him therefor.
Tho thought that lie might shoot deel
in deflunce of tho law was too good
to be wasted, and so ho has been sub
jected to criticism on tho supposition
that pci Imp he might commit the
offense. If tho would bo calumniators
waited for a reason, the opjiortunity,
might escaim.
v , 1
It has been discovered that the 11)0
exemption clause of personal procrty
has been omitted, it is thought inad
vertently, from the new assessment
law. Tho everlasting changing of our
laws is a constant itiiiioyiiiico and
vexation and people may come to the
conclusion that It is cheaper to pay
the legislators to stay at home and
do nothing rather than to constantly
tani)r with tho laws and often
muddle them hopelessly. J At us have
no more new laws until the necessity
is upimreut and undeniable.
The contestants are started in the
congressional race which will Hnlt.li
oil the first of Juuo. The campaign
promises to be a lively one. Neither
of tho contestants is a laggard or
likely to lose by reason of lack of
energy. Naturally the republican
candidate hits considerable lead in the
district, giving his npK)iient consider
able to overcome to bo on even terms.
Herman's lack of harmony with the
secretary of state and his consequent
retirement as land commissioner
will bo doubtless used against him iu
tho campaign, yet his supKrti rs will
cling tlm closer for this very reason
and the matter will work both ways.
Tho democratic candidate is a live,
able and alert cuiniuilgner anil a
popular man and tho republicans can
lint afford to slumber during this
camiwigii. As it is an "lection for
congress, naturally the voters will
adhere much more strictly to imrty
than they often, do iu county or state
Dictions.
OREGON-PACIFIC RAILWAY
Contract lor Grading Aw&rded
at San Francisco,
It seems uow to bo nil assured lact
that the construction of the Oregon ,
Pacific railway will soon lw com
menced. The first conract f'ir grading
was let on Wednesday of last week,
at the Crocker building iu San Francis
co. It is for that iwrt of the road
between Grants 1'nss uuil Crescent
Citv, while tbo company will soon
have surveying pirtii s in tbe tit Id for
the other branches which will extend
from Crescent City south to Kurckit
and north to Marshtleld or some sdnt
011 Coos bay. The names of the con
tractors are not learned. The definite
announcement that practical and sub
stantial work will Imj commenced in
tbo near future Is received in Grants
Pass and Josephine county with much
satisfaction..
There Is it rumor abroad that this
ronil is being bucked by some one of
the greater railroad powers and that
it is destined to lw of mure iui stri
atic than has yet lueu rculucil.
With the extension of the railroad
systems in eastern Oregon, the pro
ject is extremely feasible for a con
nectiou of this road with them. The
Koguo river route oilers an ideal lvtss
through tho Cascuclcs anil uu extension
of the toad over this ronle would
give direct railroad connection to east
ern Oregon eastern Washington. Idiom
and Montana and is the loglcul und
ilirift route by which tbo northern
lines may gain a California terminus.

RICH PEBBLES OF ROGUE
Six $50 "SIxjuV Lie In the River
Near Grants 1'r.ss.
Three hundred dollars in gold, iu
tho form of the old fit) "sings," lies
in Rogue river about five miles uIhivo
Grants I'uhs. At that jsiiut. iu the
early days, was located Hunter's
ferry, where tho eniiigaut road cross
od the river. One day n man, name
unknown, was crossing on tbe ferry
and in leaning ovei the rail of the
boat, his purse, whii h, he carried in
the breast iss-ket of a woolen shirt,
rolled out ami fell into the water. It
contained six fit) "slugs. " Koine
effort was made to recover It, but the
water was too deep, and the purse
Was never found. When the bid of
Itogua river is dredged, as it may be
some time, to secure the gold of its
channel, these pieces may be llsbed up
and greatly wondereil at. This mis-
fortune occurred some time in the
MI'S. At that time the "slug" was
in common circulation, though it is
now a very rare curiosity. The piece
was coined iu Situ Francisco. It was
X'tagonal iu shape and contained f 0
iirpure gold, 110 alloy in its coiiijsmi
t ion. It was an awkward and 111111
bcrsnu peieu of money, but iu some
ways it was more convenient than the
uncoined "ilust. "
Captain Kichard l'earsou 1 lob-
son, tho hero of tho Mcriiiniio and
famous also for his later oscillatory
exploits, was a tiasNcugcr on .Sunday
evening's train, eu route from San

EDDY CORPORATION LAW
Some Criticisms Offeied by One
of Porllo-nd's Lawyers,
Mr. Robert C. Wright, an attorney
of Portland in au interview regarding
the Eddy corporation law, said that
he was not opposed to a reasonable
law providing a fair charge by the
state upon organization ami only a
nominal yearly license, if liny at all.
He deems this measure ill-advised
and unjust in its provisions, giving
his views in part, as follows:
This act provides a graded license
without regard to prire of capital
stock iu the market or the amount
not sold and from which the company
has derived no benefit, and it does not
regard the amount of business done- or
receipts of the comiiany but says yon
must pay whether you barely make
exs iises or run behind.
The promoters of this bill expect
the state to derive a great revenue
from it, but will it? Foreign corpor
ations need not enter this state or
may withdraw and put all real 1 state
und business in the name of a factor,
agent or trustee or the .St anrlr.nl oil
company muy if it choose withdraw,
organize a tOOon: company, sidl to it
and thus p.iy fit) a year instead of
t-'oO and still do thousands of dollars
ill business here.
Merchants throughout the state
have incorjioratcd their business for
good and snllleiuiit reason, such us to
save annoyance on the ib-nth of a
partner, etc. They should pay a fair
fee when they incorporate, but then
is no excuse for tho state to tine them
yearly for existing, after they have
paid the sheriff their state, county
and every other tax beside perhaps
a city license. Similar corporation"
can be organized iu other stales and
place a factor or broker here to
whom they sell, and so cctfpn this
license. This is not a square deal
with our ow n people and places I hem
at a disadvantage, as they cannot
have a corporation hero and escape
the license iu that way.
Mining, coal, logging, timls r, live
stock and other coniianies which are
IK'culiurly developers of the resources
of this slate organize possibly with
large capital stock, knowing that they
will not and cannot get par vulue.
However they create projs ity and
values where there were none before.
These properties ure then taxed by
comity, city und stale and a revenue
is derived from them whether such
companies ure making money or not
and these taxes are paid. There
cannot be equality and justice for n
special license tax 011 top of their
regular taxes. The license tax will
not prevent watering stock, nor will
it prevent mining and other com
panies of this class orgunxiug without
the stale und holding properties here
iu the names of trustees or agents, to
evade the license law, which the local
comiiames could not so escape because
they are registered with the secretary
of slate. Many of these local mining
companies have heretofore organized
iu good faith and are struggling
along to develop promising properties
and besides making taxable values ure
putting money into circulat ion among
merchants iu their vicinity. The
os ration of the law can and will
work an injustice to these companies,
which are entitled to every encourage
ment, while those interested are put
ting ill their best energy and capital
to develop our abounding resources.
All should ho on the same footing
and esscially foreign coniiutnies
should not have advantages over our
own enterprises which need every
lollar to make these taxable values
ami more business tor the coiiimuuilv.
Ami iu coucliisiou il would itpiH-nr
that, the welfare of the people its 11
whole will be Is st served If n referen
dum is culled for on this unwise law
ami that It be killed at the polls."
Mr. Wright 011 being asked for his
views on the Lewis and Clark referen
dum said he was not in favor of dis
turbing the fair upixirt loiimelit but it
should be let alone and the exposition
held as planned.
He was also asked to state what he
thought of the referendum upon the
IHirlage bill and said that he had mil
studied the mailer us closelv 11s he
had Ihe ialdv law, but it was bis
opinion that if the portage road could
be built and maintained 111 a profit
iniliviiluals won lit have long ago
uutleiiakeii it and banks would freely
Iced money for tin. purisise, but its
tiny had not done so, it was doubtful
lluaiicial venture for the state to em
bark iu and would only incur larger
taxes generally. If II is proposition
to li curried out regardless of cost
ttr ciense, for Hit. good t.f commerce
iu three states, then the gov eminent
should do it.
