Surprise Party.
A pleasant surprise party was giv
en last evening in honor of Misses

ion of the guests upon their return
from the baud concert. Following
u a list of those present: Misses
Mary Steiner, Alice Steiner, Mary
Matthews, Ida Diusmore, Minnie
Thatcher, Laura Starr, Emma Starr,
Mary Stuart, Jessie Southwick, Ida

Prefers Oiegon to All.
After leaving Oregon last fall,
Prof. M. V. Rork, a Michigan edu
cator from Lansing, took charge of
the public school at Missoula, Mon
tana. He made somewhat of a tour
of that territory, of the towns on
the Sound, and of California. But,
til things considered, he prefers
Oregon for a permanent home. He
has decided to send for his wife, and
become a "Webfoot.
Another Incorporation.
Messrs. G. A. Waggon, W. H.
'Rick and B. T. George, have filed
articles of incorporation for a com
pany having for its object the acqui
sition and salo of coal, iron and other
mineral and wood Jnnds and the
PWduets thereof; also for the build
ing of roads, etc. The capital stock
is f 100,000 In 'shares of ?100 each.
The office is at Corvallis.
Coming to the Coast.
The Examiner, the San Francisco
lFr that naturally has no special
teve for Los Angeles, admits that
W-OOO people are bonked for the lat
wcity this winter. This is mcu
toned to show that the tide of im
aifiration to the Pacific Coast is not
Bhaiuted. Oregon will surely re
wive its share.

A PROHIBITION TALK.
The Prohts Raise a Flag, and are
Warming Up for
Campaign.
the.
The prohibition orator, M. V.
Rork had a trying time last even
ing In delivering his open air speech.
The Hag was raised according to pro
gram, with the names of Fisk and
Brooks inscribed; but the band start
ed out shortly after the orator began
speaking, and a portion of his audi
ence showed a preference for music
before eloquence. Quitea littlecrowd
stood by tho speaker, however, and
he was encouraged to go on.
He took up the tarifi' question, of
course ; no man can discuss politics
in this campaign without going deep
into homo and imported products.
Tariff talk he described as political
jugglery. No party can be. abso
lutely free trade and none dare bo
altogether protective. The demo
crats in St. Louis stolo their cam
paign thunder from the republicans,
and tho latter retorted with tho ac
cusation of free trade. Tho simple
fact is, he said, there is no diflercnee
between the old parties, and no man
can tell which doctrine lie should
hold to be a consistent member of
either.
Salem does not tax tho man who
has a wagon, nor tho man who has
a buggy to build. Your school prop
erty and public buildings also go
untaxed. It spreads its tax pro rata.
So let tho nation do away with in
direct taxation, which robs in tho
dark, as the Turkish tax-fanner pur
sues his depredations in the night,
and do away with the gatherers of
customs and custom-houses. Then,
if foreign goods come to our shores
which wo can't compete with, or
such as we do not want, forbid their
lauding. If foreign laborers come
here English, Italian, or Chinese
paying no tariff duty and bringing
down wages, tell them to keep on
their own side of the pond. We
want no moro protection for
capital and free trndo for labor. But
as this is purely a social and econo
mic question, it would be well to get
it out of the hands of politicians,,
and save ourselves this quadrennial
turmoil.
The speaker dwelt on that juto
factory in California, owned by a
white man with a Chinese partner.
Under the plea of protecting home
industry, a tax of two cents is laid
on every sack . the farmer uses for
his grain, which costs tho country
half a million dollars a year. Mr.
Rork had visited that nourishing
factory and found tho hands em
ployed were Chineso and newly im
ported Scotch girls. Ho regarded
this as a strange way of protecting
home industry.
Tho grand jury of San Francisco
city and county in their report last
week said we used to ask what shall
we do with our boys? The question
is now changed to what are our
boys going to do with us? That
city is under the control of the
criminal classes drunkards, thieves,
prostitutes, and gamblers. This dis
turbing clement is . thoroughly or
ganized to resist the law ollleers und
there is a carnival of misrule. I To
haw no hope for a change so long as
the citizens continue to vote as dem
ocrats and republicans, instead of
combining against tho thugs by elect
ing officers of known integrity and
fearless in the performance of duty.
This, ho said is true of every large
city, it is good prohibition doctrino
and it is bound to win.
Tho speaker was several times
applauded during his speech and
also at the close.

Jitiergetic measures are being
adopted bv the MpTlrein Tjincl final
.uovcionment Co., for tho carrying
out of the great enterprise to which
we alluded in a recent issue in con
nection with the Grant of Laud it
has required in the state of Tamau
lipas, Mexico. Tho hardest of the
surveying Is alreadv done, and It is
estimated that In a year, 4,S00,000
acres can be surveyed, of which the
Company will take 1,000,000 acres.
The land has navigable rivers, aud
harbors, aud coal, aud dense forests
of fine timber, and petroleum, and
precious metals, and other minerals;
but suppose it had nothing at all ex
cept the bare land, and suppose that
it uws ma onng more man tne i.o
per acre, you might figure what tho
profit will be on some million acres.
We know what land is. Wo can
see it. It is always where wo can
examiuo it. The most successful
companies for some years havo been
organized on land. Tho whole world
knows what a boom there was in
Southern California last vear, and
tho many fortunes that were made.
None of these begin to compare
with this enterprise in magnitude,
nor in its possibilities. It comprises
not alone millions of acres of land
but the opening for many industries.
