George Il. Loring writes of the "The
Partisan Element in American Society"
but the reader need arprehend no glor-

The great railroad giant of the North
west Coast says the SdadaTh, has at
last obtained possession of The lasttran
portation fine Of any moment oa the
Northwest Coast. Yesterday the O..
Il. d \. Co., through Wizards agents
in Scotland, completed the pending
negotiations for the Oregonian Rail-
road Co. QLimited), and the transfer
was made. The last named company
leases their road, rolling stock, improve
ments, etc, for 80 years, to the O. X.
& y. Co, the latter guaranteeing the
payment of certain rate of dividends
on the stock. The Scotch company is
to complete and deliver certain num-
Der of miles, which will necessitate TIE
construction of fifty to seventy FIVE
miles more Of the narrow gauge rail.
road. But the o. r. /; II. Co. do not
want competing line running into
Portland. As consequence work has
been discontinued between here and
Dundee and all the men on that part of
the works have been discharged. But
from Brownsville, the present southern
terminus 1f the road, the construction
will be pushed on with vjgor and un-
til the required number of miles shall
be completed The narrow gauge road
hereafter, as we predicted few years
since, will not be competing line with
the o. &. G. r. r., but will be used as
a feeder to the latter or main lines of
the valley. There is no Disgusting the
fact that this is movement brought
with momcntous consequences to our
valley, and it is impossible to know at
this time what will be It's ultimate
effect There are portions of the val
ley that will be affected iujuriously, but
we incline to think that vast expendi-
ture of money, the infusion of new life
into all the valley by the encourage
ment to manufactures and the develop
ment of our resources by the rapid
opening up of the country will be pro-
ductive of great good. In any event
Portland is sure to reap an advantage
Nothing is known as yet as to what
changes will be made in officers and
of the road, but it is supposed
they will remain as at present for
time.

The RAILROAD FIGHT.

Willard did not want any competing
railroad line running into Portland, so
he sends word To tie stockholders of
the Oregon Railway Co. marrow gauge)
In Scotland, that he wants to buy their
road, and offers them a good price. He
does not treat with their agent here,
but sends Mr. J. B. Montgomery, the
builder of the road, direct to headqHar-
ters In Scotland.
MIR. Reid doesn't want the company
to sell out, as it would "clip his feath-
ers" to some extent and prevent him
from making any more money out of
the people who want to make up large
subsidies for small roads, SO he sends
Mr.. Ellis G. Hughes back to Scotland
to prevent the sale. Montgomery,
backed by Willard, carries too many
guns for Mr.. Hughes, SO Mr.. Reid
packs his valise and starts back, but
before he reaches Dundee the transfer

1t is now conceded by farmers from
every portion of Jackson county that
the grain crop will be exceedingly
light. The summer falIow will make
a good crop and some of the grain
sown on sticky land will be toIerabIy
fair, but late sown, grain, in most
localities will not yield half crop,
and oats will be particularly light.
It is thought that rain now Wouldbe
too late to be beneficial except to corn
and fruit. Every description Of fruit
will yield very heavily owing to the
absence of late frosts and, as usual,
fruit will be drug in the market.
