The Corvallis News In commenting upon the appointment of Charles Clark as receiver says: There is not a question of doubt but what the new appointment will give general satisfaction among the officials and employes of the road, and also to the public generally. Everyone will give a helping band in assisting the road from its present embarrassed con dition while under the new manage ment. Mr. Clark has bad a great deal of railroad experience and has filled the position of train dispatcher of the O. P. road for several years, giving the very best of satisdaevion in every in stance. He is well acquainted with the official duties of tbe road and al ready knows wliere a saving can be made In the operatingexpenses, which gives him a great advantage over al most anyone else that might have been appointed to the receivership. Yet too much must not be expected of Mr. Clark at once, a everyone knows that the road has been put under his man agement under tbe worst circum stances; the ooMtn steamer tied up, the river boats lying idle and lu fact tbe whole system in a terribly muddled up condition, and men clamoring for their back pay, with no money on hand; in such a way is the road at present, However, an honest and economical management is assured, and there are many who fully believe that Mr. Clark will have tbe road paying its running expenses before many months roll by. The best wishes of everybody along the line and in this vicinity go with the new receiver, as all have the ut most confidence in him.

Oiegonian. Tunneling the SUklyous. The Ashland Record learns that the subject of thehoringofa great tunnel through the Siskiyo'i mountains so as to relieve the road of the great expense of the miles of h op and high moun tain grade necessary to get over this one of nature's landmarks and formid able obstructions to cheap and easy railroad transportation has been re vived. It will be remembered that during the great railroad snow block ade of January, 1801, when the com binea efforts of the Southern Pacifio system's best talent could not open this mountain for trains for five weeks, the S. P. people had ordered ttielr en gineers as soou as they were through with their work In tbe Cow Creek canyon, to make a preliminary survey of this great enterprise for a big hole through the Siskiyou mountains. The surveyor's eniup was prepared and the surveying crew ere In Ashland ready to go to work, when they were sud denly ordered by wire to do some Im mediate work in Southern California, The Southern Pacific has issued ordeis to all its surveying crews who have beeu idle for months to be ready for work as soon us spring opens, com mencing March 1st. About the first work to be done will be a preliminary survey, followed by a permanent sur vey by a different engineer, of this big tunnel. ftnon, . , BrOWDB..,. J ( .. .
