MIR. Wizards Statement.

A glance at the map will show
that the Oregon Railway & Naviga-
ton Company occupies a field of
operations in western and eastern
Oregon and Washington Territory
that should be really occupied by
the Northern Pacific, but which can
not now be SO occupied by the latter
without creating permanent con.
fict and mutually injurious compe-
titon between these two transpor-
tation interests.
The Oregon Railway g. Naviga-
ton Company has practical control
of all the transportation business of
western Oregon, of eastern Oregon,
and all that part of Washington Ter
ritory south of the main branch of
the Columbia, known as the Snake
river. 1t has completed, and will
complete, out of cash in hand, be-
tween $50 and 800 miles of railroad
of its own. In addition to this
mileage, it will control, by virtue of
arrangements now maturing in Eu-
rope, the 312 miles of standard guage
road now owned and operated by
the Oregon and California Railroad
Company in western Oregon. 1t
will further control $50 miles add
tional, to be constructed for account
of the Oregon Il California Railro d
Company, in extending it's main line
to the south, and building lateral
feeders, for which new construction
about $1,000 600 in money will be
provided under the arrangement al
ready referred to.
Thus the Oregon Railway a. Navi-
CATION Company will, e9entuaily,
control over eleven hundred miles of
standard guage railroad within the
limits of the Territory described, all
of which will be completed and iu
running order at least one year be-
fore the completion Of the Northern
Pacific through to Wallula, it's point
OF junction with the Oregon Railway
d Navigation System.
1t is hardly necessary to speak OF
the immense value of this great svs-
tenn OF roads, thus to be controlled
by the Oregon Railway g. Navigation
Company, as a feeder to the North
ern Pacific. 1t is estimated that the
local and through business which
the Northern Pacific will receive
from it will represent, from tue very
moment of the latters completion,
81, OOO,O of gross, aud say, 81 900
OOO of net traffic, with certainty of
a steady progressive increase.
1t is not too much to say that it
would be the highest imprudence, if
not outright folly, on the part of the
Northern Pacific company to adopt
any measure or policy jeopardizine
Its enjoyment of the vast source of
revenue represented by the traffic of
the Oregon Railway e. Navigation
Company.
The Northern Pacific is as vet far
from being in position to pursue a
policy IN Oregon and Washington
Territory in disregard of existing
interests, and which
might result for it in a permanent
oss of an immensely valuable bust
ness. From the eastern boundary
u Montana to It's proposed terminus
IN Puget Sound, distance of about
400 there are to-day not more than
'o, 600 people living along its pro-
ected line. 1t cannot be expected
hat SO scanty n population, scat
cred over so vast a Territory, can

Tie frequent occurrence of the
alarm of fire the past two weeks has
been the subject of general comment.
No less than eight incipient conta-
grations have been suppressed by
timely means within that short peri.
cd, while a general alarm had not
been sounded for more than a year
previous to that remarkable term.
Tuesday morning the roof of a dwell
adjacent to, and constituting por-
ton of the STANDARD premises, was
discovered to he on fire. An alarm
was sounded and the fremen res.
pended promptly, but the flames
we're about subdued before the or.
der was given to "play away" In
the afternoon Of the same day our
office building was treated to the
some unwelcome experience, but the
fire had made but little Roadway be.
fore the alarm was given and it was
checked. In both instances the fire
was communicated to dry moss on
the shingles by sparks from the fues,
a strong west wind prevailing at the
time, which seemed to have had the
effect OF throwing them directly on
the lee side of the roof. Very little
damage was done, in either instance,
but this was owing to the prompt
means used to prevent the spread of
the flames. In this connection, we
tender our sincere thanks to that
noble organization-our volunteer
ilremen-for their prompt aid on
both occasions.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. One, of those de.
iightful surprise parties for which the
Champions have become so noted occur ed
at the Red Cross Hall. Tuesday evening.
after the usual business o. the Encamp-
ment had been concluded. The occasion
was the 22d anniversary of the marriage
of Deputy Supreme Commander J. II.
Munson, and the present efficient Com
mander of Washington Encampment Mrs.
Emily r. Munson. At the conclusion of
the initiatory ceremonies. and while three
newly-made members were receiving the
usual welcome from a portion of the
fraternity, others were engaged in carry
ing in large baskets of provisions,
improvising tables and making all need
full preparations for festive occasion.
So admirably were the plans carried into
execution, that it constituted genuine
surprise to the recipients of the compl-
ment, and they scarcely realized that it
was all in their honor before they we're
seated at the bountifully spread board,
surrounded by JOYOUS Companions who
felt quite as much happiness in according,
as they did pleasure in receiving the
many tokens of respect. The center of
the table was graced with large frosted
cake, the gift of Junior Commanded Mrs.
Il. B. Henry, and around this were spread
all the good things necessary to constitute
a royal feast. AT the close of the repast
many heartfelt expressions of respect,
were uttered for the worthy Companions
and If one-half the good wishes are
realized they will enjoy many happy
returas of their wedding anniversary.

The Prevailing Topic.

EVERYTHING relating to the attitude OF
the Northern Pacific and Oregon Railway
Companies possesses such All absorbing
interest to the community that we yield
much OF our space this week to give i'll
full the letters and kilograms passing he
tween the Presidents of the two great cor
porations. 1t appears from these that Mr..
Wizards object at present is to secure
delay in construction of the road across
the Cascades, until the main line is fin
ished to Ainsworth. In the meantime it
is proposed to give Puget Sound connec-
ton with the great national highway by
.nny of Portland The proposition looks
very much like an alternative for obtain
ing totally different results. Delay, UNI
der such circumstances, is generally con-
strued into an acknowledged weakness,
and i'm this instance, as President Billings
plainly shows, it would he fatal to his
company Congress and the people would
not sanction postponement which
would retard our facilities for settlement
much longer. Mr.. Wizards advisers UNI
derstand this, and the effort to secure a
delay is but loosening of the death
grip to get better hold, and to make
Puget Sound subsidiary to Oregon until
comm cree demands the construction of
the mountain road without Government
aid.

sition of the principal points involved.

ciearness and conciseness of the views
presented. 1t seems to be unanswerable

Pennsylvania oil speculation of sixteen
years ago Land there is selling at fabu-

itup. Tracts have been sold for $3.50,
and even 81, 900 per acre. There is sin
gle well, 200 feet deep, which is said to
yield in "a hours some 10000 gallons Of

another third is salable as grease. The
