OPENING UF OBEQON. Tho mango of tho Killingsworth bill through llio Oregon legsilaturo was n ytry algnificant event in tlic history of tbo slate. It -vrill bo recoiled thnt Oregon hnd a railroad commission, nml then Ore gon abolished tlint commission. For somo yonrn Oregon litis trJml to jrei along without railroad legislation o any doscrlption. But tho fooling has been growing 1 1 'dhal n dve run influences woro nt work do prerent any extension of now linos. 7o passage of thin bill was a uur rprlse. ltd nttthor is n man with no ex Tpcrienco In legislation, a real ostuto onnn. Tho rnilroml committee In both fconses put tills bill Into cold storage, nnd hold it here, but it got out. It is expected to have tho effoot of enlisting capital In railroad construc tion In Oregon, and of lifting tho em Sbnrgo upon construction. Tho Orcgoniun's editorial declaration ttliat thero wns u policy of strangula tion of new enterprises being pursued did tho business. laud pursued unwise methods to so euro repeal, and defeated themselves. Both the original law and tho Jayne bill had unfair and cxtrcmo provisions that reasonable men would reject, which only proves that extremists can not bo trustod to make laws for the people. Jn the meantimo let the matter rest and tho laws bo obeyed. Let there bo tho Utmost fairness, and no unneces sary olections nttompted by either I side. Lot there bo no effort to estab lish saloons in tho rosidonco precincts or suburbs or country precincts where they do not belong. X-RAYS The Ashland Tidings says they had "skating nn incji thick." , It would be o funny legislature that dilljiot steal a gambling bill or two. THAT $5000 LIMIT. The bill which passed the house to take off tho limit on amount heirs might sue for in case of a person killed by n, railroad was killed in tho sonatc. This is about tho only stato in the Union where n person can sue- for any amount of damagos for injury, but for only 5000 in case of being killed on a railroad. Tho Smith bill raised the limit to $10,000 and was put through tho house after a hnrd light by its author, and an adverse report from tho committee. Tho effect of tho $5000 limit is to givo heirs very small sums in a suit to recover damages in cases of negli gonco by corporations, and a death paused thereby. Salem peoplo will recall the case of Mrs. Ponlnnd, at tho South Commer cial streot crossing. Her heirs sued for $500. Tho railroad company failed to If It has the effect of opening up get a non-suit, and the jury was hung, Oregea to tho construction of branch lines it will do more for tho xtato than will ttlio commercial olubs and develop Kntsst leagues that could bo organized. Uut with tho eo-oporatlon of tho com mercial bodies, the Kllllngsworth bill -will Jiavo that effect unless it is hold wp In tho courts, It cannot well bo held Mrrp watll at least one new lino is built. A very favorable sottlement was so cured by tho Ponlnnd nttornoys, Tur ner & Inmnn, but nothing liko what would hnvo been pnid but for tho limit of $5000 being tho law of tho state. Tho limit is used to bent down tho plaintiffs claim, and settlements arc gonernlly secured by tho corporations for a few hundred dollars.

TTCHIi siKiirw Discuss tlio Parcels Post The Sentry has so far refrained from active participation ia favor of this movement, for two reasons; first. mako of carpet sweeper not kept by the merchant, or somo special brand of canned goods, or any other article less than 10 pounds in weight. Under the present high express rates the mer chant is kept out of this business, ' for the rates are prohibitive. In Kngland merchants very frequently make deliv eries by parcels post nt less cost than to send a delivory wagou. Tho great extension of the rural delivery routes would j-eem to offer special privileges to tho retail merchants, if a good par eels post arrangoment existed. The Sentry believes that the morchnnts as well as their patrons would find a fair pre ferto confine our advocacv, for the 1 iyRreIs stf "rranRewnt a groat con preMnt, at least, to other and more ur-1 VCTlCe; 1lhr0 is a stron& a,most u"lli uemnnii among farmers and workman for some method of this kind. gently needed postal reforms, among them post-check curreuey and tho re duction of the pay to railroads for car rying the mails; secoad, because it is not entirely elear to uj j'ast what effect lareels poet legislation would have oa the various interests.
