City Official Paper.
A man mimed Whitoluw Reid
lius been interviewed in San Fran
cisco nn the political situation.
Who is he? seems like we've heard
the name before. Ex.
The governor of Illinois has is
sued a proclamation declaring next
Monday, May 1, a holiday, in hon
or of the opening of the world's
fair in Chicago.
The farmerB generally are feeling
the effects of the contribution de
manded by the last legislature, for
the World's Fair, militia and other
rw-kWs expenditures. It comes
when they are not overburdened
with surplus cash. Ex. ,.
At the called meeting of the city
council last Friday night the con
tract between the city council and
Water Company was duly signed.
Work will commence on the same
rs soon as the weather will permit.
There is a great deal nf fall grain
washed out through the valley,
w hich will require re-seeding, and
comparatively little spring grain
has yet been put in. A great deal
of ground is ready for seed when
ever the weather will permit. The
. fall grain looks well, and there is
hardly a doubt of a heavy orop.
Dispatch.
The tax gatherer is making Dem
ocrats through the Btate by the
wholesale. The reckless extrava
gance of the last legislature is ap
parent t ,ne when their
HHxen are doubled, and next year,
when the farmer will not be allowed
to take out his honest indebtedne.-s
from taxation, it will 'be still more
so, and the party which has brought
this upon the people will .nect with
an overwhelming defeat. Portland
D;.-i-ateh.
The .transcontinental railroads
b'h jw an unlimited amount of
cheek, in thoir efforts to hold the
exuursion rates to the World's Fair
at the highest possible point. If
it wore not for the Kio Grande en-
dearnring te have a low rate estab
lished, the through lines would
Luve had little or no opposition to
holding the fare at the regular
rates. At it is, a slight reduction
hrs been made. The Rio Grande
road shows the right spirit, and it
is a pity that it does not control
more territory.
The idea that organized labor is
in danger of getting less than its
rights in this countrv at the hands
of congress, or of the courts, or at
the bar of public opinion, is uot en
tertained by anybody, least of all
liv senators who make the laws.
Vlu.su utx'Wiw of the courts art
useful, because they have stirred
up all influential bodies and per
sons to the need of regulating em
ployment on '-railways in the
interest of all the parties' concerned.
It is for the interest of all concerned
that trains should be kept in mo
tion, as it is for the interest of all
that they should have three meals
per day. New York Evening Post.
The following article from the
Corvallis Times is rieht to the
point. The country with poor rwfls
will never be as prosperous im
country with good roads. "The
present long-eontipued inclement
weather is disastrous not only to
farmers but to everybody, else.
People cannot come to town to trade
on account of the wretched condi
tion of the roads. For the same
reason wood cannot be hauled to
town, and the supply is so short
that neighbors are borrowing of
each other a quarter of a cord at a
time. Carpenters and laborers arc
idle because material cannot be de
livered. Some time ago Ir. Will
tanks let the contract for the con
struction of anew residence to Park
McDonald, and though the frame
is all ready it cannot be raised be
cause stone for the foundation can
not be hauled. A hundred similar
instances could be pointed out. In
an aged community like this, for
the wheels of industry to be tocom
'plctely clogged by muddy roads
comments most unfavorably Uon
the progress and enterprise of citizens."
The smallest duy's uiteuuimce at
the centemiinl in Pbiltidulnhia was
12,U00.. At C-hico, two weeks be
fore the opening of the world's fair,
48.000 people attended in one din.
The inference is eertainly favorable.
i Secretary Carlisle, in order to
meet the heavy demands for gold,
has been forced to draw upon the
100,000,UOC reserve. Let him use
it all if it is necessary to overcome
the attempts of the goldhugs to de
stroy the valueof silver. Dispatch.
Mr. Buetwick, nftialt Lake, was in
town yesterday to swear out a com
plaint aguiust Slim Brown, who la
teaching sohool at Suit Lake wliool
housv, for whipping one of his boya
too severely.
Inulits shopping in Albany should
not rail to visit the Ladies' Basilar.
They have a Hue hue of all the new
spring novelties,' such as the latest lu
neckwear, laces, ribbons, kid gloves,
children's hats of all riittcriplinns, for
boya and girls, also a large line or
spring wraps for ladies, misses and
children, at prices lo suit all. They
carry the well known It. and G. corset
and are agents for the staudard paper
patterns. Go there, you will receive
full value for your muuey. No trouble
to show goods.
The state board to-day effected the
purchase of a stove foundry at the
state pri-oii. The price paid was 40.
000. The purchase was consummated
after considerable liiHouseinu and in
quiry. It was tlwught the officers
would he able to purchase It for k lew
sum, but It could uot be done, and as
they were anxious to have the convicts
employed this was thought the best
move. With R. J. Firming as super
intendent it is expected the foundry
will be started Monday when the man
ufacture of stoves will be commenced.
