The Upper Willamette.
The Willamette has begun to rise
perceptibly, but not enough to al
low the Oregon Pacific Company or
tho Oregon Railway fc Navigation
Company to start their Upper Wil
lamette boats. Even the Three Sis
ters, which is tho lightest draft of
them all, could not carry much
more than her unloaded weight.
A general impression prevails among
river men, however, that the coming
week will see rain enough to cause
sutlleicnt rise in tho river to allow
navigation to start.

The Oregon Land Company's ten
acre lots aro selling rapidly,-iO having
been sold since the 8th of Sept. There
is no probability that 10 acres of
good laud within four milesofSalem
will ever again bo oflea'd for f 30 per
acre on easy terms. There aro now
tive houses in process of construction
on lots already sold and roads are
being opened and bridges built so
that tho value of all of the lots is
leing rapidly enhanced. Any one
wishing to buy ten acres of good
laud for much less than the pico of
a city lot will do well to look at this
property at once as there is no doubt
but that it will all bo sold inside of
thirty days. Call at the office of tho
Oregon Laud company ,on Com
mercial street and you will bo shown
the property free of charge.

An Invoice of Fresh and Breezy Notes
From the Railroad, Front.
From a party who has just re
lumed from tho O. P. front ou the
Santiam the Journal gathers the
following items of news:
Messrs Myers & Company have
employed on their contract, above
Brighteubush fork of the Santiam,
about three hundred men and are
pushing tho work with all tho energy
at their command. There are dally
large numbers of recruits joining
their forces, and although some oc
casionally quit they espct to soon
have five or six hundred names on
their pay rolls. Henness Brothers
aro supplying the camp, and now
employ some lifty packs for that
purpose.
The parlies in charge of the woik
from Don Sin' ih's to l)i Ightenbush
are also crowding their work and
are adding new camps ahnos't daily;
some Ave hundred men are reported
on this division.
Tho gap between Smith's and the
end of the track is being le-dresscd
and graded up where skipped before
and put In order for the tie.
The bridge carpenteis are getting
along finely with their work and
now think they can keep 4 u advance
of the track layers.
New iron was laid yesterday and
it is expected to keep right along
until Don Smith's is readied, where
a turn table is being constructed and
a breaihiug spell will be taken.
There is a vast amount of rock
work aloug the lino above Smith's
and the progress will not be as fast
us it was below that po.nt.
The piles arc nearly all driven on
the division below Smith's and
thousands of ties are delivered a'ong
the line of the track.
The bridge across tho Santiam at
Mills City is progressing linely.
The two west piers are in and the
bt'y cords and temporary work is
all in place, while a good working
crew arc rapittly pushing the work
along.
Several new saw mills will bo
erected in various places along the
line to furnish tho liecc-sary timber
for construction. The mill of
SimniH & Co. at Mills City is ex
pected to start up Monday. The
machinery is nearly n'l iu place and
the force at work on the race expect
to have it finished by Sa. unlay
night.
The logging contractors weie to
commence operations tc-day and by
the fi.st of next month. Times will
bo lively thereabouts.
There appears to be a sci'-city of
blacksmiths along tho line of the
road as the disciples of vulcan were
enquired aiter at nearly every
camp.
The health of the employes ap
peals to bo splendid, as not a caso of
sickness was seeii or heard of along
the entire Hue.
HARRISON AS A CITIZEN.
His Pastor of Many Years Speaks Of
His Practices.
Some famous men, like prophets hvo
least honor iu their own country j but truly
great men, those whoso greatness is inner
ent and nut borrowed, are as able to bear
the every day scrutiny ol their neighbors
as the occalonal"lunpse of stranger. Ul
the latter class is llenjamin Harrison, for
here i his pastor Kev. Al. U llaine or
ihe First Presbyterian Church nf Indian
apoli, a man who has known the repub
lican candidate for )ears, writing of him
in a leadiug jeurnal:
.cn,o. it ltinnt General Harrison an
niter ihsenee of Dreteoci or affectation. He
discards any attempt to make n show of
himself, and .rould be the last person to
speak or act for mere effect. Open and
straightforward in both language and ac
tions, he lacks that quality of politician
which makes one expert at 'pulling wires'
and 'laying pipes.'
"He impresses one as being a man of
balanced mind and clear convictions, who
would give any truth brought before him
a fair chance, but who would allow noth.
Ing to swerve him from the path ol duty.
With hffc a promise is sacred j with hira
'yea' means yes and 'uo' means no. He
is not a man dodrous of dictating to oth
ers, nor will he allow himself to be dic
tated to.
"Decided in his eonvletions, broad in
his views, inspired by a high moral pur
pow, ruled by a coocieoce both itrong and
informed, he has led a life in thU city oou.
suieoaus for its probity and ru stainless
integrity."
