Oregon i'AciUc Kallroul. The CorvalllB Times says It is quietly rumored that the Oregon Pacific road will soon go into other humls and be built with cash in stead of badly-kept promises and lawsuit, or words to that efl'ect. Tho history of tills enterprise since its first Inception, nearly twenty years ago, has been unfortunate In many respects, and no credit to our state. All sorts of expedients have been resorted to to raise money and to get work done. There is no de uying that unusual business (net of n certain kind has been displayed, but it has not been of a credituble Bord Too many men have been ruined by trying to fulfill eoutracts mid too many times have had to liavo their vouchers down to a low ligure to get something for hard la bor performed for this company. Tlioy had little else to work with but not overvuluablo land grants and over sharp wits, and these they have made tho moit of and with such apparent success as tho world sel dom sees, Tho Times intimates that the Chicago & Northwestern company will probably take posses sion at an early day, a consumma tion most devoutly to be wished. There Is no enterprise more impor tant to Oregon than tho Oregon Pu eitlo railway running through the middle of our state, and with the Chicago it Northwestern In charge wo may oxpect that the work will be rapidly pushed to completion. Wheat Swindling Cm. Suit has been commenced in Den ton county by Hamilton & Job, bankers of that place, against Elias Kceny for $300 alleged to bo duo for twenty bushels of wheat at $15 per bushel. This is an Issue of the old wheat swindling game which was practiced upon severul farmers in Linn county and was exposed. Hogan, tho leader in tho swindling scheme, was arrested hero but was acquitted through some technicality and was afterwards arrested in Eugene. Keeney's note for $300 fell into the hands of tho bank of Cor vallis. Bimillar suits in the Eastern states have been repeatedly decided against the swindlers, and will prob ably be in this state. Albany Iler-uld. Sill cm nml Astoria It. It. ileum. The railroad that is considered certain of crossing the country from Astoria either lo Halem or Albany, or both, in tho Willamette valley, will traverse a portion of Columbia county. West Shore. Work has been commenced at Astoria on tho Astoria & South Coast railroad, and it is proposed by citizens of Salem to unite with those ofMoMinnvllIo hi bringing tho road Into tho valley to Galeni by tho way of MoMinuville. When tho time comes for action there is no doubt that tho business men of tho city will take hold of tho matter with tho same energy tlioy have exhibit ed in other enterprises. West Shore. lllds for railroad ties were opened at tho o 111 uo of tho Astoria & .South Coast railway company Monday. There was evidently a misunder standing of the specifications on tho part of some of tho bidders which will delay tho letting of the contract for u day or two. Astorlan. Likes Prison Life. William Darragu, convicted of furnishing liquor to au Indian and sentenced' to a year in the peniten tiary from Portland was brought; "to Salem yesterday. Darragh saya "You may think I am a fool for giving the snap uway to tho judgo, but I like it. I was there for u year and fouiiu the fare so line that I think it is better than knocking about on the cold charity of the world. When my year is out I'll tumble in again." Tbe IlearilHlry Examination. At Dallas tills afternoon the pre liminary examination of O. P. Ueardsloy charged with tho killing of T. L. l'erryman atEola is in pro gress. The city was expected to be lull of people, as at an early hour tills morning t,be roads in all direc tions leading to the quiet county seat were filled with teams from the country. How the examination may terminate is no conjecture. Mr. lleardsley will, no doubt, be held without bond to await tho action of tho grand jury which meets soon. Very Hear; Immigration A Portland paper says that im migration at present is beavlerthan It has been for some time. Eastern peoplo ure coming into the state in large number. Every trulii Is crowded and hotels ure filled to overflowing. This heavy influx of Immigration is even uoticeablo on the streets, for hundreds of new faces are daily to be seen. Tho hotel men complain that they can hardly una accommodations for all who come, and often they are obliged to turn people away. In fact, some of the hotels are so crowd ed, that their busses are sent to meet trains but every other day. Most of tho Eastern arrivals natur ally go to second-class hotels, and it is here that a person must look for the greater number of intending settlers. It is hard to give an ca curate estimate of tho total number of arrivals per day. A conservative estimate could not be any less than 1000 per day. The average daily ar rivals from the astern states in the hotels in East Portland is about twenty-five. The question Is asked, Where do they all come fiom? In most of the hotel registers tho arrivals from Kansas take tho lead. Michigan comes in a good second, uud Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Dakota, and even Pennsyl vania follow with a large quota. All are in quest of land and webfoot climate. rillWMATIl ITEMS. ItKAL ESTATK. A New Venture.

In regard to Oregon pi tines a writer to the St. Paul Pioneer Picks says: "One fact noticeable in the present operations of on-haidists is tho tendency to make prunes their chief crop. It is belief that Ore gonprunosuiothe best tho world pro duces.
