Vanderbilts Not in Control of Sbor
Line or 0. R. & N.
The Financial Chronicle says: "Be
garding the reported control of the Ore'
Ron Short Line and the Oregon Railroad
& Navigation Company by the Union
Pacific, through purchase of a majority
of the stock of the Oregon Short Line, we
are authoritatively informed that there
has been no change in the situation re
garding the Oregon Short Line stocks
since the Union Pacific reorganisation
acquired, some weeks ago, the block of
stocks amounting to $3,460,000 from the
trustees of the collateral trust mortgage
ot iyi, securing union racinegold notes,
6b. While this block of stock gives the
Union Pacific a preponderating holding
of the Short Line's stock, of which the
total is $4,778,000, it does not, we are in
formed, give the company a majority in
terest, nor is there any intention to dis
turb the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company voting trust, which runs until
1906 " .
"The importance of preserving the in
dependence of the Oregon Railroad &
Navigation as a terminal in the interest
of three companies, the Union Pacific,
Great Northern and Northern Pacific, is
thought to warrant the belief that no one
of these companies will attempt an inde
pendent control."

Oliver's Bond is Good.
There is no trnth in the report that
the people of Harney county are Indig
nant at the action of Judge Lewis in ad
mitting Edward Oliver, the roan who
shot Peter French, to bail, or that the
bond is a straw one. As the prosecution
presented a weak case, no other action
was possible. The bondsmen are among
the best business men and leading stock
men in the country, who could easily
raise the amount of the bond at any
time on short notice.

A WRITE-UP FOR US
Newspaper Man Thinks
Well of. Athena.
A GOOD BUSINESS POINT.
He Mentions Some of Our
Business Houses.
The genial Sc-ence. reDresentinsr
(be
East Oret;onian,was in Athena Saturday
last. Air. Spence likes Athena and its
people, as the following "writeup". in
bis paper clearly shows:
Rolling in wealth derived from golden
grain, safer, surer, than the yellow nug
gets of the Klondike, Athena is one of
the most pioiperous little cities in Kae!
em Oregon. It has a good water works
system affording ample fire protection,
one of the beet schools in Oregon, a suc
cessful flouring mill and other industries,
snd a contented population of about
1200 people.
Moreover, Athena is blessed with pro
gressive, wide-awake, up-to-date business
men. From miles and miles around in
the rich wheat districts farmers do their
trading at Athena because large stocks
and aharp competition have made it an
advantageous point for the customer.
Over a half million bushels of wheat
were sold last fall at Athena, nearly all
at the top prices, yet fully a qnartar of
the crop is still in first hands awaiting
another bulge in the market. Djbts
have been paid, and there is still lots of
ready ca&h for business. Drummers like
to visit Athena, saying that it is one of
tbe beet towns on their route.
An East Oregonian representative who
recently visited Athena found that tho
usual depression following the holidays
is now over, and that business is briek
again.
Curtis & Rigby, proprietors of the
brick grocery, who deal in staple and
fancy groceries, are young and eneigetic
men who are building up an excellent
business. They carry nothing but high
grade goods, and make a specialty of
school supplies and also musical instru
ments and notions.
F. C. Marquardaen, formerly of Boise
uity, is proprietor of the New York Cash
Store, with a slock of dry goods and
gents' furnishings. Speaking of his
trade, Mr. Marquardsen says that it has
been very satisfactory. .With the first
class line he carries, an improvement is
expected. It is Frank J. Beale's pro
vince to furnieh Athena's beef, lard,
hams and bacon. This he dors right
well, selling meats on such small mar
gin that h? keeps out all competition.
Ed Manass1, formerly of Pendleton,
has the New Store, a merchandising es
tablishment where all wants in his Hue
are supplied. Mr. Manasee has an es
pecially fine line of ladies dress iroods
ana tancy gooas. it is in lact a metro
politan stock, which explains the euccets
he has already gained after a few months
ol business.
Max Lenin, one of Athena's most
popular young business men. deals in
general merchandise. The fact that Mr.
Lewin has by degrees increased hie
stock to large proportions, shows that be
has tbe eonndeuce and trade of the pro
pie.
tor many years the 8t. Nichols hotel
has been Athena's principal caravansary.
It is so yet, for J. W. Froorae & Son, the
proprietors, aeep a clean and orderly

meals. During the coming csmuaiirn.

McKisson Will Conkst.
It is settled definite! v that Rnhorl V.
McKisson will contest the election of
Hanna to (he United States senate. The
contest will be made on the ground of
fraud in the election, and the claim will
be set op that several Vote A friro nnr-
chased outright for Hanna. Notice of
contest has to be filed within 30 dava
after the election takes place, and tbe
papers and evidence are now being com
piled and will be sent to Washington
within a few days. McKisson will at-
tempt to show that Hanna did not have
enough legal votes f o elect him, and that
tbe only legal candidate was himself.
The senate is obliged to take cognizance
of tbe matter.

Fortune in a Cow.
Five years ago Mrs. Elisba Woodford,
who lives on a farm near Michawaka,
Iud , placed $500 in gold in a boxful of
bran in the cellar, which had served as
a receptacle for eggs, says the New York
Times. During Mrs. Woodford's lour
weeks' absence last spring, the children
decided to replace the bran to the chest,
and the box was plaoed in a convenient
location for the caw to reach its contents.
Several weeks sgo the money was missed,
but not a single member of tbe family
recalled the incident of early spring.
The money was given np as having been
sioien. L.aet wee the cow became ill.
and the Woodford's finally mourned her
aeain. a veterinarian and several curl
ous neighbors undertook to explain the
cause oi tne animal's taking oil, and
when the stomach was dissected tbe on
lookers were startled to find a small
Klondike. The money was counted, and
proved to be Mrs. Woodford's $500 in
gold.
Against Mr. Cjrbett.
;The senate cimmittee on privileges
and elections decided to make an adverse
report on H. W. Corbett's claim to
seat in the senate from Oregon. Tbe
vote was 4 to 3, on party lines, except
mat r-enator Burrows, republican, who
was absent, was counted, upon his
authority, as being in opposition to Cor
belt. There were two votes, tne first
being noon the motion to declare Mr
uoruett entitled to nis Bar, which was
r i- .. ...... .. ...
supported by Messrs. Chandler, Hoar,
rritcnard, republicans, and opposed by
Messrs. Caffery and Pettus, demcciats,
Alien ponuusc. and Burrows, renin, liiiin.
oi wicaigan. benator bnooner was
paired with Turpie. the former for and
tne latter against the motion. The mo
tion was then made to declare Mr. Cor
bett not entitled to his Beat, and was car
ried by the above vote, reversed."
New Statue of Lincoln.
Siirnor Caccla's new statue of Abraham
Lincoln, exhibited in the Royal Acad
emy, London, is highly praised by the
art critics on the other Bide, and has at
tracted much attention from everybody
visiting the Academy. Tbe sculptor
calls it "From the Wood to the Presi
dency of the United States." It ia full
ol alertness and vitality snd represents
Lincoln tue Doy. He is sitting in an at
titudeof contemplation, his book in bis
lap, and his ax resting against his knee.
His costume is that of a backwoodsman,
as me artist understood it. The head is
finely modeled and the face is full of
character. There Is no mistaking it for
any other than that of the boy Lincoln,
yet Caccia has so put the great character
of Lincoln into it that the rugged features
are Deautuui.
