Indeed, luainma, I can bridlo and
saddle that little dun pony, and bo
back homo boforo you can say Jack
Robinson. ''
"But; my child, It Is such a umd
freak to go such n distance, and alone,
too, on that stray pony, and for what?
Only one green peach was seen on that
tree."
"Yes, only ono green poach, and per
haps somebody has got it beforo now,
but 'nothing ventured, nothing have,'
and I am going to rido thero this after
noon and look for that peach and bring
it to you." So spoko tho young girl
who was bent on taking tho rido for
bidden by her prudent mother.
This was during the summer of 18C5,
following tho disastrous Hood in that
part of tho Mississippi valley. Wo had
gathered strawborries under tho water,
sometimes wading out to tho beds and
sometimes paddling out in a flotilla of
canoes. Wo had had dewborries and
blackberries gathered by tho more
heroic members of tho family, who
wcro not in fear of tho moccasins and
bluowator snakes who entwined them
selves among tlicso briars, feasting on
tho berries. All tho other fruit was
ruined by tho overflow, and it so hap
pened that Boino ono had discovered a
living peach tree, bearing ono forlorn
green peach, in a deserted plantation
garden flvo miles from tho homo of our
heroine. Tills trco grew on a knoll a
littfo elevated above tho overflow.
Now, in Juno, this peach should havo
ripened, hencQ tho longing to pluck it
and givo It to tho mother who had
sighed out that very day that sho should
so enjoy some peaches.
Tho girl had tho dun pony saddled
with a man's saddlo and ropo bridlo,
and donning her riding skirt of gay
copper colored dimity that had served
many years as tho nursery window cur
tain, and tho man's hat coquettishly
trimmed with an aigretto of whlto and
blue crone's feathers, sho was soon
mounted and cantering gayly down tho
grassy road, What a lonesome- road it
was too. Thero was no travel in that
day, only 8onio straggling soldiers going
from camp to picket station. Tho plan
tations were deserted by negroes, and
tho long lines of dingy "quarters" with
wido opened doors and swinging win
dow shutters looked lonesomest of all
loncsomo things in nnturo.
Tho grass was knoo deop to tho dun
pony; as ho cantered through its grcon
sea it closed in his wako liko tho waves
of a calm emerald sea, asleep under tho
hot glow of that Juno day sun. Tho
tenua weeds grew as tall as trees along
tho lovces and whero fences had been,
giving out a fragrant odor from their
leaves, beans and saucy yellow faced
flowers. Tho broad fields wero filled
with tlio great army of rampant cockle
burrs; not an inch of soil to bo scon
anywhero after that splendid Irrigation
of an already fabulously fertilo land,
and thero being no cattlo to tramplo
tho weeds und to crop tho herbago, it
grow and grow into this wilderness of
unbroken green. Tho bleached bones
of much valued stock drowned wero

luxuriance over their onco happy forago

AND THIS UISMOVKII KAIL
TIir.OUY.
Thero belug more cases between
the S I Co. mid those who were In
jured. In tlia Labiali disaster, tho
question arises why tho attorneys
of the corporation insist upon the
derailment theory, when it has
been so repeatedly thrown out of
court. Tho first object of the inan
agers Is undoubtedly to delay the
trials aud draw them out as ioug as
posslblo and thus, by creating costs,
making litigation long, tedious
and expeusivo to tho parties Injured.
Another reason is that the company
avoids tho charge of gross uegllgenco
by insisting ou u possible derailment.
Onco abaudon that, and tho whole
structure would stand so rotten iMid
dovold of merit and would go down
so completely und disastrously, that
thero would be left little room to es
cape tho charge of gross negligence
on tho part of tho managers and
subject them to indictment for de
struction ana injury of luinnui
beings. Realizing tills, many read
ers will understand why thedefeuse
in all the Imbish cases has stuck for
the removed rati theory, evon after
so many cases have been lost on It,
and oven after a reporter ou one
newspaper that took up the removed
rail theory abandoned It and sus
tained the JouiiNAii reporter who
was on the ground and found that
no rail had beau removed.
The JomiNAL, as tho only paper
in Oregon that sought to lay tho
facts as they truly aud really ex
isted beforo tho peoplo from day to
day, irrespective of the consequences
of Incurring tho displeasure of a
powerful corporation, baa bcoif
drawn Into every trial hud so far.
.Every panel Jutor beforo .beiug ac
cepted was put through a series of
questions about tho Jouknal. Had
ho read it? Had liu been iniluuccd
by it? Had ho made up his mind
from reading it as to the cause of
tho wreck V As a rule n more afllrm
utlvo unawer to the tltst question
was sufficient to cause his rejection
by tho corporation attorneys. Thm
coureo was followed until peremptory
challenges wero exhausted, and
Jouknal readers had to bo taken.
It was Impossible to get a Jury that
did not contain" some Individuals
that did not read tho Jouunai,, and
all know of Its position. Why men
who read any papers wore not ob
jected to Is not plain, But the time
has como when wealthy railroad
corporations should be taught that
they are entitled to no exclusive
privileges but should bo required to
meet accusations brought against
them tho same as tho' they wove
privuto Individuals.
They should also learn that no
Juror should bo considered disquali
fied merely because ho has Intellh
gence enough to form an opinion
from accounts published in the
various newspapers concerning any
event.

In laying down his ofllco Mayor
M. A. Moody, of Dalles City, said:
"Tho spirit of non-progression,

into tho counsels of the city govern
ment, and without Imputing evil
motives to thoso who d I flared from

tho city to tho unfortunato condition
In which It finds itself, I am com

Lot Salem tako counsel and avoid

Tho Tlmes-Mouutaineer says:
"Mr. Moody is the only mayor who
lias taken sufllclent Interest In

constantly advised regarding the
ilnances of tho city, aud for this he
Is entitled to credit. Ills predic

Salem has tho prospect of two
electric street railways. The Hold at
Salem for this mode of transit Is
very Inviting. Level streets, largo
blocks and absence of heavy grudes
all tend to muke the dynamo motor
especially adapted to our city. Prob
ably until Salem reaches a popula
tion of fifty thousand no other
system of street car power will bo
required. Long level stretches of
distance are the paradise of dec trio
car lines. With llttlo power, quick
stops and starts, rapid ppecd is at
tainable at a minimum of expense.
Hence Salem Is au especially invit
ing Held for electric street car
projectn,
The prospect of another oluotrlo

There Is certainly no other hicthod

an eleotrlo line In two years u fluid
Is converted Into ti well built city,

Tho lank Australian looks and feels
fit to go Into the ring and fight for

plains of is tho lack of good men to -glvo
him practice in sporrlng. -In
this respect Hail is better suited at
Beloit, as he has Billy Woods, the

him. Both men are below 15Q,

there seems to be no limit to his

posed to bo. boastful, he confidently
expects to'whlp Hall badly. He
will not bo as considerate aa ho was
to Dempsey at New Orleans, when
he had Jack at his mercy some little
timo beforo tho final count out.
Fltzslmmons bears Hall a bitter
gruduo ou account of tho fake fight
in Australia, in which, on consid
eration of tempting business pros
pects, ho allowed Hall to knock;
him out, and subsequently was
swindled dreadfully by the man
who coaxed him into tho deal. Hall
need expect no mercy. Tho betting
litre Is $100 against $50 on Fitzsim
