The editor of tho Independence
West Side is an Intelligent young
American. Ho has in his Inst paper
somo spleudid ni tides In favor of
the postal telegraph, which wo copy
below. Tho time should como
when, Instead of taxiug tho people
to the utmost possible limit and
using the money obtained iu paying
dividends on watered stock and
eliminating all competition, tho
telegraph should bo placed within
reach of all tho people and only
enough money collected to pay the
government actual operating ex
penses. This is a great issue in the
progress and development of tho
nation and tho people should not
longer be served by public men in
congress who are indifferent on this
subject. Here uro Mr. Peutlaud's
articles:
A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT.
According to uncontroverted
statements tho capital stock of tho
Western Union Telegraph Co. iu
1858 was $358,700. Tho stock divi
dends declared between 1858 and
1800 amounted to $17,810,140, and
tho stock issue for new lines was
$1,937,950, so that tho capital stock
on July 1, 1800, was $20,133,800. In
1800 new stock was created to tho
amount of $20,450,500; so thut tho
total capital of tho Western Union
on the 1st of July, 1807, was $10,508,-
800. The largest dividend declared
by tho company up to 1874 was 411
per cent. Tho largest amount of
stock over divided at ono tlmo was
$10,000,000, and for a period of seven
years tho dividends were about 100
per cent, a year on Its average capi
tal. It was by uddlng dividends to
dividends, and by piling the ono up
on top of tho other that this tre
mendous amount of $40,000,000 of
capital and debt was created, Tho
history of the company shows no
change of policy. In '74 tho com
pany bought up its own stock aud
tho stock of other telegraph com
panies and accumulated a fund of
over $15,000,000, which was held In
one shape or another in tho treasury
of the company. An investment of
$1000 iu 1858 in Western Union
stock would have lecelved up to tho
present tlmo etock dividends of more
than $50,000 and cash dividends
equal to $100,000, or 800 per cent.; iu
1803, 100 percent., in 1878, $0,000,000;
in 1881, ono of $15,000,000 and an
other of $4,300,000; In 1880, 25 per
cent. The Western Union plant,
exclusive of Its contracts with rail
roads, could be duplicated tor $35,000.
Its present capital is $85,000,000. It
has realized $100,000,000 of net profit
In twenty-fivo years by Its high
charges.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
has issued a pamphlet giving iu de
tail his plan for establishing a tele
graph system on the n.nno basis us
tho present postal service
Ho recites the demand which is
expressed through tho boards of
trade and other organizations for a
postal. Ho points out tho dangers
arhlng from allowing tho govern
ment to own the telegraph Hues, nnd
his plan is to lease present lines and
do government bushics-i over them,
and allow tho company to do as
much more as they wish. The pay
ment for messages Is to bo by stamps
on tho envelope tho same as now,
and the charges to commonco will
be from 15 to 60 cents for twenty
words and two cents por word for all
In excess of twenty. In order that
it may cost the government nothing
to try tho experiment ho proposes
that It bo limited In its operation to
cities haying free deliveries only,
and later It oun be extended. Mr.
Wunamaker has struck u good Idea
and we hope to see his plans put In
operation. The present charges are
altogether too high.
Let the government lease the use
of our telegraph lines and oirry out
the idea of letting tho postolllce have
a postal telegraph. Let tho t-ame
system apply iu dealing with our
railroads. Lut the government agree
to pay so much for the public use of
our railroads. Let the posUifllco de
partment handle the money aud
all persons traveling can either buy
of (ho po.loMeo department or the
railroad company. Tho cost of a
ticket any where oil the Pacific

WILD OATS.
A bane uud blessing in tho Wil
lamette valley. Tho ground seems
full of them aud no matter how long
sinco any went to seed, each tlmo
laud onco well tilled with wild oats
Is plowed afresh, a now crop of
seed is brought near enough to tho
surfaco to completely occupy tho
soil with a crop. It makes fair hay
if cut at the right timo. No matter
what becomes of any other crop put
in, tho wild oats will not fall. Some
imagine that it has roots in tho soil
that it grows from. That Is pure
imagining. It can only germinate
from tho seed, aud tho appurent
mystery of Its ever being ready to
spring up nud occupy tho land Is
explained by tho sumo facts In regard
to other weeds. When plowed
under most of It gctsTaolow the reach
of light and heat required R germin
ate it. There It may lay for years
in wet or dry soli. Its waterproof
hull prevonts rotting. As soon as
disturbed and brought within grow
ing distance of tho surface, the re
sult Is a crop. Ah not oue-twentloth
is required to seed tho ground ono
crop will seed tho ground for twenty
years.
Practical suggestions for dealing
with this sometimes very useful
nuisance of agriculture aro Invited
by the Jouknal from furmers.
HOP LICE.
Hpeaking of tho hop louso, Mr.
Wm. Lurking, of Stay ton, Says: ho
is constrained to advance tho Idea
that it is tho tho product of tho di
seased sun of tho vine which results
from n lack of moisture from below
and excessive heat from the sun.
For why Is It that hop yeast, corked
tight In a bottloln n warm place In
a short timo will turn to a living
muss ? Timber cut In a full flow of
sap will turn to worms. Water,
taken lrom a well 200 feet deepi
corked tight, plucod in tho sun for a
short time turns to life, Asa pre
ventative, iu grubbing, dig deep; at
at least 12 Inches down and about
the same uround tho vine and givo
good cultivation. If It should turn
very dry, rig a water tank on a cart
with pump, pipe and nozzle to suit

It is an admitted fact thut a good
