Articles have recently been fled by Col.
T. E. Hogg and others, incorporating the
Oregon Pacific Railway Co. Capital stock,
100000. This Company proposes to
build and equip railway from Yaquina
Bay in Benton county, Oregon Ito Boise
City, Idaho Territory, there to meet a
road now being pushed through by Jay
Gould, and connecting with the Eastern
States. This Company takes the place of
the Willamette Valley s. Coast Railroad
Co., and is now engaged in paying back to
the stockholders tho $35, 600 paid In for
the purchase of iron, rolling stock. etc..
for the first ten miles of the road leaiiing
from Corvallis toward the Bay. Work
vii! be commenced OH the 0. P. r.
at once. aud Col. Hogg has so far
completed arrangements as to promise the
citizens of Corvallis that he will have that
portion of the railway from the Bay to
that city, completed in time to carry their
grain and other produce the coming har.
vest. We are assured there is no ..foolisll-
. ness about this matter !; the money has
been secured. and the road will be pushed
with the greatest energy to an early CONF
pletion. 1t depends on no subsidy the
Company have the money, and propose to
build the road, which. when completed,
will be through road-making direct
connection between the Pacific and Atlantic
States. The road will pass through this
city, aud ~c have pretty good grounds
for believing thas, by early fall OF 1881,

Horse ThIes s.auKht.

Last Friday our Deputy Sheriff arrested a
man named Frank Smith, with one or
more aliases, charged with stealing two
horses two months ago, some twenty
miles sonth of DalIes. Mr.. Claughton had
kept his weather eye out tor tile rascal for
some time. and catching a glimpse of
him OH the day in question he lost no
time in Dabbing him. The fellow made
quite fight, we understand, but he had
got the wrong man to fool with. and was
soon in the brick Jail. He had disposed
of one of the horses to Fred. Lines for SOS,
and came to this city to dispose of the
other. Mr.. Claughton arrested Smith in
Wheeler & Dickey's stables, and was COM
PEELED to throw his ''bulldozer'' in sight to
secure his man. The money paid by
Lines, S65. was secured and turned over to
him. Smith owned to stealing the horses.
AMI gave up the money, requesting that
it be paid back to Lines. Smiths parents
live near Forest Grove, and are said
to be highly respectable people. SmitlI
says whisky and bad company is what
done the business for him.

The new process in the manufacture of
-four consists in heating the berry, before
it is ground. anil machinery has been re-
Gently patented tor this purpose. The
steam wheat heater draws the moisture
from the interior of the berry thereby
moistening and toughening the bran. aud
leaving the inside of the berry in n dryer
aud better condition for four.making
than is generally the case. Heated wheat
makes whittier flour, because. as above re-
marked, the bran is toughened and not
easily comminuted in the operation of
grinding. and is broader than the bran
from wheat that has not been subjected to
the heating process. The interior portion
of the berry being dryer, the bran is
lighter, and the mitldlings IN a better con-
dition for publication. Ii Is also stated
that with steam heaters less power is re-
quired for grinding, and better results cln
be obtained from mixed wheats. Messrs.
Ballard, I@oIn & Co, OF Linn County
FIGURING Mills. whose flour stands so high
in this market, lave secured the latest im-
proved machinery for manufacturing
flower by the heating process, and will, in
a few days, place upon the market new
brand call the Red Crown" and our
people can ju'ige for themselves whether
the new process is all that is claimed for
it or otherwise.

The Last of the Solid South.

The Ohio State Journal gives a clear idea of
the composition of the next COMPRESS. Read
it carefully:
"Forty-two members of the Forty seventh
Congress have already been chosen. Of that
number thirty are Republicans, ten are Demo
Gratis and two are Greenbackers-a net Repub-
lcan gain of ten. The Republican confidently
expect gain oftwo in Iowa, one in Wiscon-
sin, two in New York and one in each OF the
States OF Massachusetts,, Virginia, North Car
DINA, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and
Louisiana. Should these gains be made, and
no Republican losses sustained in Pennsylva-
mia and New Jersey, the Republicans will have
152 members, or aclear majority of eleven over
all opposition.
In addition to the gains confidently count
ed on the Republicans have fighting chance
tor gaining one member in each of the States
of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Missouri, Georgia and Alabama. Should all
these gains be made, the Republican majority
over all will be thirty-one. 1t is pretty safe
to assume that the Republican majority will
be not less than twenty.
'As to the Senate, if the Republicans sue
coed in carrying the Legislatures of Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, New York and Connect
cut, then Republicans will succeed Senators
Wallace, Randolph, Herman and Eaton. There
is every reason to believe that the Republicans
will carry the Legislatures of all these States
they having a decided advantage in the hold
over State Senators chosen last year. The
Republicans have already made gains in Ohio
and Indiana, and Republicans will succeed
Senators Thurman and Mcdonald. Therefore,
it is reasonably certain that the Republicans
will have thirty-eight members of the Senate
after the 4th Of March next. That will make
a tie, counting Davis, of Illinois, and Malone,
of Virginia, as Democrats. That will give the
Vice President the casting vote on all polite
al questions.
III the Democratic papers of Tennessee are
telling the truth-if they are not using the
name of Horace Maynard as a scarecrow-it
is not improbable that Maynard will succeed
Senator Bailey. That will give the Republi-
cans thirty nine Senators, or clear majority
of two. The political status of Senator Ma
hone is uncertain; and it is not improbable
that on questions affecting tariff and currency
he will vote with the Republicans.
More than likely Dakota and Washington
will be admitted into the Union as States at
the first session of the next Congress. That
will add four Republican Senators and two
Representatives. 1t may be set down as a
foregone conclusion that after March A, 1881,
the Republicans will control both houses of
Congress and all departments of the National
Government"
