J WEST SIDE TELEPHONE, M c M innville , F hihay , Arc '.-r 20,1'- ■> RIGHTLY SPOKEN. Tn Senator J. II. Mitchell’s speech be fore tho United States senate on the ‘‘Improvement of Rivers and Haibors •if the Pacific Northwest,” he winds up by paying Oregon a neat tribute in these words: “In conclusion I may be permit ted to say that with the completion of the commercial improvements now un der way in aourthern Oregon, nt Coos Bay, for which $45,090 is provi led in this bill, tlie Coquille river, for winch $20,- 000 is inserted, and others yet to be in augurated nt J’oit Orfoid, Umpqua, and other important points; villi the com pletion of the small gap to complete railroad connection between Oreg > ii and California; ami the proposed improve ment, for which u b'll is pending in the senate, for shortening the route and re ducing the grade of the military wagon road between the Rogue river and the Klamath countries, and the construction of branch and intersecting lines of rail road into south-eastern Oregon; with government recognition of Crater Lake park, the grandest natural park on the face of the earth—we except none ; with fraudulent wagon road grants w iped out of existence by judicial decrees; we may expect th# people of that stale, in all its sections and in every locality, whoso vi tal interests it is my bounden duty a- well as my great pleasure to aid in ad vancing and promoting be-e, to throw off the fetters of commercial bondage that have so materially impeded their progress in the past, brush aside the cloud of isolation peculiar to all pioneer countries,^ind which through all these years bus measurably enshrouded them in its discouraging mists, and darkened and obscured the path of their progress; to assert their independence of and de- ‘clnre their triumph over every impedi ment I hat has heretofore delayed and obsti ueted them in their patient, honest, persistent, ami noble efforts to establish on the shore of the Pacific a groat ein pire of civilization, an independent and powerful state, wl ich shall acknowledge no-mantor, no dictator, or recognize no superior in all that pertains to social, commercial, ami political equality, inde- pendenue, and power, save that grand entity—the national government, the union of States, the Ameiicnn republic —of which it is to-day no inconsiderable factor, and of winch in the no distant future it is destined to become so an ex ceptionally important and highly influ ential a constituent part.” While there is so much being said about prohibition of the liquor traffic, there is another thing that should not he overlooked—a practice that is doing as much if not more harm among our young mon to-day than the rnm traffic, The practice of cigarette smoking is that to which we refer. Show us an ha- bitual cigarette smoker (of which there are many in all parts of tho country) and we will show you a boy or man with scarcely energy enough to drag one foot after the other and with very little am bition in any dilection. It has been but a few years since the accursed things were first introduced, and vet llm prac tice of smoking them has become so gen eral that before a bov fairly enters his teens he is pntllng awav at them—on the sly—and before his patents know it lie is a slave to their alluring power. Not only are they harmful in themselves but they create an appetite for some thing stronger, and it is thus that many are led into tin1 practice of pa-taking of the ibegs of the flowing bowl. Tins evil should be squelched, and the soon er the better. The Enqui er says: Those.who imag ino that Blaine is out of polities will find themselves mistaken. He is prepaiing an assault upon the present administra tion in regard to the conduct of the de partment of state. Within the last few days Im has sent to the ca >itol for a large li d of executive documents, copies of official communications to congress from tlie president and dilleibnt depart ments. This indicates that he is pre paring for an aggressive campaign, lie Ims got a complete list of the pension vetoes and appropriation acts, including river and harbor act, documents relat ing to tariff, coinage of silver, conduct of treasury department in legaid to re ducing surplus, and other subjects upon which the democratic party, congress and the administration are not agreed His largest demands have been for doc uments relating to the state department. He has obtained the correspondence concerning the fisheries troubles with Canada and the imprisonment of Cutting in Mexico, and copies of new treaties and old treaties with England an I other countries. 11ÍE I'KESIDI.XT'X SALA BY. A Voice from Sodaville. Apropos of 11 io White house, and its relation to the general appropriation bill, an exchange says: It is wondered by some people how the president of the United Stales can pav out of his salary the numerous expenses attached to liis ofl'n-e. There are separate appropriations. Besides tlie president’s salary of $50,000, the estimate presented to congress this session asked for $.'>6,(164 additional to pay lhe salaries of his subordinates and clerks. His private secretary is paid $3,1i)0; liis assistant private secretary, $2,250; bis stenographer, $1,800; five messengers, each $1,2 i X>; a steward, $1,- 800; two door-keepers, w ho receive each $1,20.1; four other clerks at good sala ries, one telegraph operkor, two ushers getting $1,20(1 and $1,400; a night usher, getting $1,200; a watchman, who gets $900; a jnan to take care of the fires, who rece ves $864 a year. In addition to this there is set down $8,000 for inciden tal expenses, such as stationery, carpets and tlip care ot the president's stables. \nd further on, under another heading, there is a demand for nearly $40,000 more. < If this $12,000 is for repairs and furnish ing the White h ruse, $2,500 for fuel, $3,- ■ is for the green-house, and $15,000 is for gas and the stables. The White house ill tol l, costs the country in connection with the president, considerably over $125,000 a year in the present era of “Jeffersonian simplicity.” S odaville , Oregon, Aug. 16, 188(1. W est Sing T elkphonk :—I left Mc Minnville August 8 for the above named place in search of-health, oi course, and have mendod every day from the time of leaving till arriving brie. Have a very desirable place to camp—the little peb ble stones about the size of peck measure are only two feet deep, and fleas a foot deep. Struck camp last night and tlio’t we would have a good night's lest, but had not been in bed long before the horse started up such a fuss that I had to get up and move him about two hun dred yards from camp; had no more than got to l ed again when an old sow came around and began to loot over the camp equipage. J got tip and drove hei away and went back to bed again: hard ly straightened out in bed when aiftild cow with a bell on came around and be gan to pull tlie feathers out from under us that 1 had taken the pains to go in the field after where some good Samai itan had been threshing. I got tip and drove her away and again returned to my bed. The next noise 1 heard was some of the neighbors’ chickens on the table. My wife said it was time to get up, which suggestion I followed out, and was of course very much refreshed after my night’s rest. This is a very nice place; nice people and a nice surrounding country, and as for the soda water, I think it beats that at tho St. ( buries, and doesn't cost 21., cents a drink either. So put a stop to Yauihillers going to the coast for health, and send them this way. Judge Cowles left lor home this morn ing. lie has been here some three or lour days, and when he left was so fat he could hardly walk, lie left bis lady here. When she lias stayed a few weeks longer I expect, to have to employ a four horse team to haul her home. .Miss Gillie Shobe is here. She is tak ing a horseback ride this morning on Garfield, the buggy horse. Mrs. G. W. Hunsaker is here witli us. I do not know how long I will remain, but expect I will have to send home al ter old man Morgan’s ox team to haul my wife and I home. A. J. N elson . A CORNER ON SILVER. The Salt Lake Tribune lias hit upon a big scheme. It is nothing less than a combination to get up a corner on the silver product. If such a corner had boon made a year ago, and taken all tlie silver that was dug from the mines, it would have cost $38,000,000. Great Britain would have bad to have $16.000,- 000 more than all the mines outside of the United States could have furnished, and our government would have been forced to purchase $24,000,000. The question naturally arises where would ■AT THE-------- that $40,000,000 have come from ? It is not in Europe except in coin at the rate of 15'2 to one of gold. It could not come from China or India, because they are silver absorbents, and not silver ex PIONEER BRICK YARD. porters. Had tho purchase and board ing of this amount been begun a year OF- ago,.by this time silver would have ad vanced 15 per cent. With that kept up for another year nothing could have prevented gold and silver assimilating McMinnville, Oregon, ■again as they did in the ages up to 1872. Who has just finished burning a kiln Such a syndicate would have realized a profit of at least $15,000,000. While it would undoubtedly require a good deal TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND ! ! of money to carry this through, $10,000,- And is ready to fill all orders for the largest and best brick in the county, a. 000 would have been enough, and the rest might be borrowed on silver bars. From $5 to $8 por Thousand. "It is a wonder,” remarks that journal, •jtf “that the New York bankers do not try that same thing.” Ohl Reliable Al illing- I )one! The Tribune’s editorial on money and business says : Since the adjournment of congress there has been but one unfav orable business symptom Large and better exchanges show an increase of nearly 23 per cent, at New York, in spite of a great decline in stock transac tions. Outside of New York, their in c-ease is 17 per cent. The grain move ment is the largest ever known. Rail road earnings show a general satisfactorv increase. Imports are large, but are in creasing Exports also have of late been much greater. Speculation thus far has failed to block the channels of legitimate trade. I would most respectfully announce that I h ive leased th“ Chris Newby Flourin'?
