Tns Oreonian notes that there
is great activity in the S. P. car
shops at Portland. They now
have at work 100 men on ten hours
per day, instead of 75 oil eight
hours as an average for a long time
past.
A pullmab car porter hs sued a
Los Angeles paper for $50,000 dam-

right. He will probaqjy get noth

Accokdi.no to tho report of the
xecrctary of agriculture the people
uf our country paid nearly $600,
000,000 for the poultry and eggs
consumed during the year 1894.
Tbere are only two products of the
nation that exceeded that of our
poultry, and that is iron and corn.
This is a remarkable statement,
but 't is one that is proven by
BtatisticB. Let no one hereafter
say that raising poultry is an in
significant business. East Tenn.

The dispatches announce a rise
jn the price of dressed meats in
Chicago and St. Paul, and a re
ported shortage of beef cattle on
the ranges. Strength is given to
t'ce reports by the fact that dressed
meats have made a slight advance
i n Portland. It is eight years since
beef started on the down grade, and
the advance that stockmen and
farmers have watched sni waited
no long and patiently for, may be
near at band. It would be hailed
js an oasis in a Sahara of starva
tion prices.
At the recent school election in
Pendleton a number of citizens not
on the tax roll paid ten, fllteen or
twenty-five cents taxes on money
or jewlry in their possession, and
were allowed to vote as taxpayers,
and in order to establish a ru'.e in
this respect, Miss Woodruff, the
Umatilla school superintendent,
has decided that no persons shall
be entitled to vote except those
whose names appear upon the as
sessment roll, and have proper
residence qualifications, or as the
Leads of families, are provided by
the school law with the privilege
of voting. This, not coming from
a court, does not judicially settle
the question, but it seems to be a
sensible decision.
The following is one of the laws
passed by the last legislature. It
is well for the people everywhere to
read it: Sea 1. It shall be un
lawful for any person to sell, barter
or give to any minor under the age
of sixteen years, any firearms or
ammunition, whatever. Sec. 2.
Any person violating the provis
ions of this ct shall, upon convic
tion thereof, be punished by im
prisonment in the county jail not
less than one month nor more then
six months or by fine not less than
twenty five nor more than five
hundred dollars. Sec. 8. Inas
much as there is no law in exist
anoe to punish this class of offensw
and it is important that the tame
should opt go unpunished, this tot
shall tak m4 U la foros

COING FOR SEN, DAWSON.
A letter has been esnt out to the
press of the state headed like this:
"Initiative and Referendum.
Committee Report on progress of
the Reform. Senator Dawson's
perfidy del ys it two years." It is
signed by W. S. Uren, secretary,
who requests the publication of the
letter. As it is too long for tiint
we publish simply the part of
most interest:
Senator Brownell made one of
the most eloquent speeches of the
Bession for the bill, and was ably
supported by the author of the bill
and by Senator Cogswell, Gowan,
King, Raley, Huston and Smith,
of Clatsop. The republicans who
defied the party lash and voted for
the bill were Senators fimwnell,
Gesner, Gowan and Johnson. The
bill was lost, however,' by the
treachery of Senator Dawson, of
Linn county. This man wrote to
our committee on May 2, 1894, in
reply to a letter, saying:
. "I am in favor of calling a con
stitutional convention for the pur
pose of submitting to the voters of
Oreg"n, for approval or rejection,
a new constitution, providing for
the initiative and referendum sys
tem of mating law. I am a repub
licau and if elected to the office of i aew,,i Su,uiav lf P it'Ie. Mr. Web-

. ' j terlno eluecd Friday last. Manv who

constitutional convention at the
earliest possible date."
But at the last moment be
sneaked outside the bar of the
senate to escape voting. He mad;
Bimilar promises publicly during
the campaign, and was supiiosed
to be a man of some character and
decency. His record on this ques
tion proves him to be beneath the
contempt of all honorable men.
Senator Woodard and Maxwell
were also driven in by the party
lash. So the bill was lost in the
senate for this time.
A Torao man named Fisher w--.s
arrested in Wallowa county and
brought to Union last week, where
he will be detained for trial at the
present term of court, under an
indictment found at the February
term for perjury. The young man
is a brother of the Fisher who wit h
the Prescott boys, was convicted
of cattle stealing at the last fall
term of circuit court. Daring the
progress of that trial Fisher at
tempted to establish an alibi f.r
his brother by swearing that he
was with him at a certain date and
place.
The sudden jump of silver in
the New York market one day
last week from 53 to 6oi, and a
slight advance both in the London
and New York markets ever since
is attracting notice. The phenom
ena is more interesting becau
wheat, wool, lumber and other
products have likewise shown a
slight but steady advance. The
growing silver sentiment in the
t liree leading countries of Europe,
together with the influence of the
swelling silver tide in this country
is sure to be a partial factor if not
wholly responsible for the changed
condition. It forshadows what
would be the result of a epucerted
determinition of these four count
ries to rehabilitate the white metal.
