Salem and Waldo hills r. r.

A gentleman well posted on the matter,
said to an Oregonian, reporter that the
building of the proposed Salem and Waldo
Hills railroad was absolutely necessary to
the successful future of milling interests at
Salem. By next summer the three mills in
that city will be able to turn ont 1900 bar
rels of flour per day. This product re-
quires an annual supply of l,so0ooo bush
els of wheat, which is much larger than
farmers deliveries there. A considerable
portion of the Salem wheat supply hereto
fore has come from the northern part of
Linn county, now tapped by the east side
narrow gauge road, which will of course
direct it to Portland. Distances to rail
road from the best farms are shorter than
to Salem, and grain producers will of course
not haul cereals farther than necessary for
marketing. River points above Salem will
not be able to furnish sufficient amount to
run the mills; hence the proposed road.
Ten miles will give Salem connection with
the naraow gauge. Cost of construction
and equipment will be within Sl50,000, and
under proper management, which it is
likely to have, will divert enough wheat
from Linn county and Waldo Hills for the
purpose required.

APIan for Exploring Alaska.

The estimate cost of the expedition pro-
posed by General Miles to explore Alaska,
is $68,00O and the sum, says the Alta,
would suffice for two years exploration
The estimate has been closely made by
Lieut.. Schwatka, of the Third Cavalry,
whom General Miles proposes as the officer
to be put in command of the expeditions
Lieutenant Schwatka is specially qualified
for the task. His distinguished success as
an Artic explorer is fresh in the popular
mind. He is young, robust, ardent, ener-
getic, and has the technical training neces-
sary to the effective discharge of the duties
that would be entrusted to him. He pro-
poses to take with him geologist, a botan-
list, Typographical engineer, meteorolo-
gist, an itchthyologist, zoologist and an
ethnologist. The researches of such
corps of scientists would result in giving us
a thorough knowledge in all its phases.
They would, in all likelihood, show that
Territory to be much more important, from
many points of view, than it is now gener-
ally held to be. Lieut.. Schwatka is the
very man to head the expedition; the cost is
trifiine in comparison with the Importance
of the exploration, and time for organizing
and equipping has arrived.

Constitutional Amendment.

There appears to be couple of Journals
IL Portland til at are very much afraid that
the suggestion of the Albany Herald made
a sh, ,rt time ago will be carried out which
will r. suit in Jan amendment to the con-
stitutio.1 of the State in order to remove
the restri, :tions in that instrument which
provides IL at the state legislature shall not
in any manner "create any debts or liabili-
ties, which shlell singly or in the aggregate
with previous debts or liabilities exceed the
snm of fifty Thousand dollars. In order to
bring about such an amendment it would
have to be introduced and passed by a
majority of both hoth7es of the legislature,
after which it would have to he submitted
to the Legislature assembly to be chosen at
the next general election, and if it shall be
agreed to by majority of the members of
that legislative then it would have to be
submitted to vote of the people of the
whole state.and if majority OF them should
vote for it thea and not until tn en- it would
become law. They are fearfn1 that all of
this trouble and delay will be gone through
with in order that the state may grant q
large subsidy to some rail road corrsratlon.

DipthcrEa.

Can this terrible disease be transmitted
any considerable distance in the atmos-
phere? A ranchman residing not far from
Dutch Flat who called upon us this week,
spoke of his unsettled condition arising
from the loss of seven of his family by this
dreadful scourgs, He expressed his belief
in it's being trranmitted by the wind, and
related that while passing across lands a
mile or more to his house, with a fresh
wind in his face, he distinctly detected the
poisonous odor of the disease which he had
SO learned to dread. On arriving home he
related to his wife the fact of the presence
OF the odor plainly experienced There
was no case at the time that they knew OF;
but eight days afterwards the disease broke
out in the family of a neighbor living in
the direct line of this wind and they lost
eight children. .--Dalles Mountaineer.

A GREAT MISTAKE.

The Albany Herald, of late date, in
commenting upon the Oregon Pacific Rail
Road in its Eeditorial columns very in
appropriately made the following sugges-
tion: "The State being inhibited by law
from creating an Indebtedness exceeding
$50, 600, such law should be repealed, and
the State proceed to offer substantial fnan-
cial aid to this Company"
No doubt this proposition was made with
friendly feeling towards this company but
some times it frequently happens that a
friend may materially damage the cause he
seeks to promote by being over jealous and
thereby making i'll advised suggestions with
out realizing the consequences of them if an
attempt was made to carry them out. In the
first place if we are correctly informed and
we most assuredly think we are not mis-
taken the Oregon Pacific Rail Road does
not expect neither does it intend to ask any
pecuniary aid from any public source. But
on the contrary the builders of this road
intend to push it through as fast as possible
with money and means already supplied for
that purpose from private sources. The
people of Oregon as rule are very prop
erly opposed to involving the State in more
Indebtedness and hence it would be i'm
possible to procure an amendment to the
constitutional restriction alluded to by the
Herald. Owing to this feeling of the peo-
pie against creating more indebtedness
against the State many of them who are
not aware of the designs and purposes of
the Oregon Pacific Rail Road Company to
help themselves without drawing upon the
funds of the State may very naturally re
ceiye unfavorably such suggestions as made
by the Herald thus causing them to enter
tain unfriendly feelings toward the road.
And vet persons who will stop to think of
the routine to be gone through and the great
length Of time which would necessarily be
in bringing about an amendment to
the constitutional provision alluded to would
very readily recognize that such course
would not be practicable. And that the
projectors of the o. P. r. r. would not for
one moment think of asking any such thing
even if their financial condition required
it which undoubtedly is not the case.

case stand upon its own foundation and be
finally sustained or fall as its merits deserve
leaving it to an uninfuenced court or jury
as the law makers intended that it should
be considered not daring to approach court
or jury personally these infamous cankers
and pettafogers in the profession endeavor to
say and do by the influence of public feel
ing what they dare not attempt in plain
and direct way. Again he says: 6 The
pulpit condemned Guiteau on the assump-
tion that he was sane man, ano yet, not
single minister of the gospel had called on
the prisoner in his cell, and not single let
ter had been sent him by them as sane
calling on him to repent and turn to God

tion of Judge Davis in a murder case il

instructing the jury in the Guiteau case and
giving as law what Judge Cox will not give.
if Scoville was not mistaken. [Applause]
At the conclusion of the lecture it is said thai
Scoville was applauded and a resolution was
family of the prisoner and complimentine
Scoville upon his management of the case
We stated above that the lecturer went
before the rabble to create feeling in favor
of the trial. We therefore give the above
fragments of his lecture which shows oul
assertion to be true. If notsso then what is
there in his remarks to bring forth applause.
What could any man possibly say while
considering subject so grave as the assas
sination of the chief magistrate of oul
country and the vile wretch who is accused
of committing the deed. that would bring
forth applauae from sensible and reflect
ing audience? What is there to elicit ap.
plause in the remark that s'the pulpit had
condemned the prisoner and nc minister
had been to visit him and entreat him to
turn to God? And who is there with any
sence of propriety whatever that would for
one moment think of applauding him for
the above criticisms made on the instruct
ions of Judge Davis in New York Grimm
al case or of again applauding him or OF
of adopting complimentary resolutions on
his management of such a case. Who ever
heard of such resolutions ever before being
adopted in any civilized community where
lawyers of much more ability and skill have
managed much more respectable cases than
the one under consideration? Such hilarious
demonstrations upon such an occasion while
so grave and sorrowful subject was under
consideration may come from a Washington
audience. But every meditating and well
disposed mind must inevitably conclude
that it could only eminate from the minds
of those best suited for the back yards and
cespools of perdition. One would naturally
suppose that the resolution adopted at the
close of the lecture was introduced and
passed by that class who are ready at a mo-
ments warning to follow the example Of
Guiteau and take the life of some innocent
person not disposed to do their bidding.

A PE1JlF0eGlNe LECTURE ON THE GUI.
TEAU CASE.

1t was announced some time ago by Mr..
Scoville, the brother in-law of the assassin
of the president and one of the attorneys
for the defense that he would lecture in the
city of Washington for the purpose of gain
ing funds to assist in the defense At last
this famous lecture has been delivered. So
says the Associated press dispatches.
He promised his lecture with the remark
that he had not the least intention of Ie-
fecting upon the court or .endeavoring to
affect the trial in any way. 1t was to pub
lie opinion he desired to address himself,
without endeavoring to extenuare the crime
or create feeling in favor of the p risoner. ;"
If these assertions are true why did he
lecture on any subject connected wit h the
name of Guiteau. How could he aa> lress
himself to public opinion on this subject ind
net affect the trial ine any way: He beia, g
the prisoners counsel # he did not intend to
extenuate the crime or create a feeling in
favor of the prisoner how could he talk
about the prisoner and his case without
doing contrary to what he asserted?
These assertions of the lecturer are false
in every particular. 1t is trick not among
laogers but among pettDoggers when they
have no case that is worthy of the candid
consideration of a court or jury to go out
side of the court room and away from the
jury to try their worthless rotten cause
amongst ths rabble there to work up feel
nsg In favor of their wretched debased and
despicable client Such seems tc have been
the intention of Mr.. Scoville although he
declares to the contrary-He must have
been more insane than he would like to
make his client appear if he claims that he
went before this mixed assembly to talk of
Guiteau's case with any other intention
than to create what feeling he could in his
favor This class of pettfoggers when they
succeed in creating feeling amongst the
rabb.e then they expect their hearers to
quietly work upon the court and jury in |
thousand ways. In place of letting every

THK panic in Wall Street last Satur.

oftio clearing house, showing a re
serve Of over million dollars above

WAS discovered that an error Of ten
million dollars had been made, and
that the reserve was actually over a
million dollars short. The error was
explained by curious coincidence.
Two clerks arc in the habit Of baanc-
Ing the books from separate sheets,
and If their figures tally, the work il
supposed to be correct. One clerk,
oy mistake, put the deposits Of the
City Bank at $5l3,OOO instead Of $40.
