Fassengers w ho have occasion to pass to and from McMinnville make a good deal of complaint about the poesibilities of public conveyance since the Southern Pacific has refused to carry passengers on the noon mixed train. The accomo­ dations in the way of making connec­ tions were [>oor enough before and they are worse now. It is the wonder of the public that the railroad people persist in keeping up that six or eight miles of track between Lafayette and Whiteson and an expensive bridge over the Yam­ hill. when all this might be saved by cutting across to St. Joe, and at the same time giving all the lower part of the county a chance to get to the county seat by rail without change of cars. Somebody might w hisper such a sugges­ tion in the ears of the Southern Pacific people and see what effect it would have. —Newberg Graphic. .

Chas. M. Sheldon, has been re­ ceived by the local subscribers this week. This is the daily that was edited as Mr. Sheldon thought Jesus would edit a pa (>er. and in view of this idea some de­ scription of its contents may interest readers of The Reporter. The special issue is said to have been over one mil­ lion copies, and was so large that one part of the edition was published in New York city, another in Chicago and another at Topeka, in order to perform the work without delay. The subscrip­ tion list included the name of Paul Kru­ ger, Pretoria, South Africa. The quality of the paper used was poor, and the size was a seven-column eight-page. Sixty- three men constituted the force issuing the paper at Topeka. All of them who used tobacco, gave up the habit not only for the week but promised to for all time. In the first issue a morning p.-ayer and four leading articles make up the first page. The first is devoted to the famine in India, an appeal being made to Chris­ tians to donate relief; the second to “Militarism," au article by a Baltimore physician, who contends that the war evil is a "disease epidemic in all lati- tildes;” the third is a column and a half symposium on the prohibitory law, and the fourth is a letter to Mr. Sheldon from the Y. M. C. A. at Denver asking for aid to build a home for consumptives. These four articles he regarded as more vital than England’s warning to other |>owers to keep hands off; greater than the situation in Kentucky ; the discovery of more cases of bubonic plague in San Francisco; the day in the senate, etc. It is substantially a religious daily. Tbe idea was paramount of making church articles supreme over telegraph news. No advertisements of tobacco, whisky, theaters, patent medicines or corsets were admitted. Liquor cure advertise­ ments were thrown into the waste basket because the editor does not believe the drink habit to tie a disease demanding medical treatment. A score of magazine "ads” were rejected because the maga­ zines contain whisky and corset adver­ tisements. Bargain day sales where 50- cent goods are marked down to 49 cents for one day only, were not admitted, though in the same issue was an adver­ tisement of a series of bible study books, "former price *24, now only $6.” Illus­ trations of underclothing or lingerie and pictures of fashionable society women in decollette costume were conspicuous by their absence. All advertisements were crowded together on two pages, and the important modern advertising in the way of dry goods announcements, groc­ ery store price lists, etc., were not visible. In reading the paper one could not help observing how the Capital suffered as a news medium in comparison with The Oregonian, and how little difference, after all, there was in the cleanly char­ acter of the two papers, being mostly in the one feature of politics. The Sheldon paper does not prove that there is a yawning Geld fora publication of that kind, as against a religious weekly or monthly, or a well-conducted secular daily, and it proves more than anything else that Mr. Sheldon has a personal in­ terpretation of Jesus in newspaper work that probably not one in a thousand others would exactly agree with.

The Electric Company Ask* Too Much for Oregon City l.ock*. No actiou has been taken by the gov- ernmeut toward purchasing the Oregon City locks. The Portland General Elec­ tric Company askes *1,200,000 for the locks, and the government is not williug to pay over *456,000. There the matter j rests for the present. Tbe traffic through the locks for the six years ending with 1898 was, according to Major Fisk, 376,- 036 tone of freight, 27,385,785 feet of logs, piles aud lumber, and 82,974 passengers. The charges collected by the Portland General Electric Company in 1898 amounted to *39,073.50. Discussing these charges, Major Fisk said : "Supposing the tolls abolished and the entire benefit given the producers, the direct saving to them would be over *39- 000, while the indirect saving due to cor­ responding reduced rail rates it would be impossible to estimate without access to the books of tbe Southern Pacific com­ pany, though this would unquestionably be much greater still. “The Willamette valley is very rich, is settling up rapidly, aud its traffic is con­ stantly increasing; the general govern­ ment is now at work carrying out a pro­ ject for improvement of the Willamette and Yamhill rivers, involving an expen­ diture of *200,000, nearly all above the locks at Willamette falls. As Portland, the natural seaport fQr all this valley, is below the locks, practically all the traffic of the river must pass through them. In my opiuion the canal and locks are worthy of acquisition by the general government, if they can be obtained at reasonable cost.” The board on its visit to the locality selected a locatiou w here it is believed new locks could be constructed iu case of any disagreement about the sale price of those already built. This new canal and lin ks, if no water rights need be purchased, would cost for right of way and construction *439,000 if ouesiie were chosen, and *456,060 if another site were selected. For the 17Ji years the locks have been in operation, the total number of lock­ ages has been 12,863.5, total number of passengers, 234,451.5, and the total ton­ nage, 504,145.04. The board of engineers has rejected the electric company’s offer with the following statement: “The board can­ not recommend the acceptance of the offer of the Portland General Electric Company to sell the canal and locks to the United States for *1,200,000,88 this price is considered excessive. In the opinion of the board, the public inter­ ests to be benefited and the commerce, present and prospective, of the Willam­ ette river, will not justify the United States in acquiring possession of the present canal and locks unless the total cost for construction, right of way, water rights, and land necessary, etc., includ­ ing separation of tbe canal from the water-power intake, shall not exceed, ap­ proximately, *456,000. "If satisfactory terms of transfer of the old canal and locks to the United Slates, including land necessary, water rights, etc., cannot be obtained for this amount, it is recommended that the construction of a new system of locks and canal be undertaken by tbe general government practically as indicated in the plans sub­ mitted. at au estimated cost of *456,000. To the extent stated above, viz., *456,000, the river at this point is considered worthy-of improvement by the general government. Before either the present locks are acquired, or new ones built, the exact legal rights of the United States to water for lockage purposes, and incident thereto ttie right to control the waters to insure sufficient supply, should be de­ termined beyond question by the de­ partment of justice." Horae Meal for Sweden. A shipment of 70 tierces of pickled horse meat, containing 28,000 pounds, and valued at *1200, wan sent east by rail on Saturday, consigned to Gutten­ berg, Sweden. This meat is from horses which never felt the pressure of collar or saddle, but spent their lives ruuuing at large on the ranges of eastern Oregon. It will be found by the consumers a much superior article to the flesh of the worn-out horses killer! for food in Euro­ pean cities. If beef keeps increasing in price here, without improving in quality, horse meal will siaud * «nod • fiance of cominz iuto vogue -i tovd tier .—Ore­ gonian. <
