A portion of the grading force OF the

Oregon Short Line and the former. The
latter has been quiet spectators Of the
progressing work. So says the Grande

The same paper further says: Major
Keefer. who has Just arrived from Burnt
River Pass, states that the Oregon Short
Line Company's rightof way man has
been in the neighborhoodo Of Burnt River
Pass for the last few days watching the
operations of the y. Il. d N. engineers.
II is stated that Short Line men will also
bo on the grounds soon, although a
practicable route can DO found outside
Of the pass.
The Baker City Tribune of September
9Th woke up to tho situation and said:
.Drovcs upon droves of Cinnamon
passed through town today on their way
to Burnt river, where they will be en-
ployed in the construction of the rail-
road. Several wagon loads of shovels,
scrapers, whoelbarrows, and other par

passed through town today to be used
by the q. II. Il N. Co. for working the
road bed on Burnt river. Several hun

there is morbid taste for personalities

it. Every good thingi is subject to abuse,
and there are Objectionable interviews and

fication of the general desire to know
what eminent men think concerning i'm
portant subjects. On the contrary, he
should rejoice that the interview system
affords to such men the best facilities for
the propagation of their ideas. AS for
personalities in journalism, the English
newspapers publish the details of the do
ing of the royal family so fully that they
seem ridiculous, and the London society
journals give more personal gossip than
those of our large cities. Cultured
Englishmen who have lived in this count
ry for years approve the interview sytem,
although they protest against its abuse,

make careful discrimination between

MR.. BLAIR'S PROSPECTS

In commenting upon the prospects of
the different congressional candidates in
the several districts of the State, the
Baltimore Herald thinks that in the
Second district the candidate of the Re
publican party has been selected be-
cause of his genuine merits. He is a
representative man i'll every sense of the
word. He comes from the people and
knows their wishes and necessities. He
is intelligent, energetic and has popular
manners. His own business affairs have
been managed with success, and he has
thereby demonstrated his ability to man
age the affairs of his district. His op-
ponent has twice secured his nomination
by means Of palpable trick, and some
Of the strongest Democrats in the dis
trict are disgusted with the manner in
which they have been excluded from par
ticipation in the choice of their candi-
date. They are outspoken in their be-
lief that Mr.. Talbot will be defeated
and do not hesitate to add that they will
aid this consummation with all their
power. There is therefore well-ground-
ed reason tor thinking that the Second
will be carried by the Republicans on the
7th of November.

The Retreat on the Ice.

WAsHNGToN, Oct. "a Lieut.. Dencn.
hover, before the Jeanette board of in
quiry to-day, told the story of the re-
treat across the ice after the sinking OF
the Jeanette Mr. Dunbar, the ice
pilot, went ahead to select road and
plant black flags on the line Of march. ~
The witness was asked if subsequent ex-
perience proved the captains statement,
"The boats alread Y down will be sufli-
cient,; to be correct: He said the ques-
ton was difficult to answer The stow
for the 333 people and their effects When
they reached the coast water II persons
were i'll the first cutter, = in the whale
boat and 3 i'll the second cutter. The
captain evidently meant that all the
boats the party carry were on the ice.
The whaleboat was long, and subject to
rough usage. She had her carloads
stove, and all her fastenings were loose,
and she was unfit to put i'll the water
when We reached Bennett Island where
she was everhauled ana repaired by Car
penter Sweetman. If the second whale
boat had been taken in the retreat the
same amount of provisions could not
have been taken in the same time The
witness said that at the time of leaving
the ship he thought that too much was
carried, both of provisions and clothing.
y thought at the time it was best to
reduce everything to minimum of
weight; to carry sixty days provisions
and strike due south, for the Asiatic
coast water. Each boat also should have
been provided, in anticipation of a sep
aration, with compass, sextant, almanac

MR.. SPENCER INTERVIEWED.

In recently published interview. Mr.
Herbert Spencer, with whose name at
least, if not with his writings most Of
our readers are familiar, thinks he sees
in America a failure to preserve free insti-
tutions. He says that education alone
will not fit men for free institutions that
it is essentially 4 question of character,
and only secondarily 4 question of know
ledge. He goes still furthur and says
that the root of our political evils lies
not i'll lack of information, but in lack
of certain moral sentiments. So far
We can all agree with Mr.. Spencer: this
is good talk; the difference will come when
we see what his certain moral senti-
ments are. Mr.. Spencer lays our evils
to the want of the disposition to resent
promptly every attempt to invade our
personal rights, He believes that chren-
ic grumbing is the remedy. We are left
in the dark as to how these moral senti-
ments are to be evolved.
1t may be presumption on our part to
say SO, but we think that here, as in
many parts of his philosophy, Mr.. Spen-
Ger stops just short Of the truth In that
really grand book, his First Principles,
he leads up to great First Cause, in
forming and upholding the Universe, and
there stops short-nay, tells US that not
only can he go no further, but that no
one else can go further. In the clearcst
and most practical of his books, that on
Education, he treats of physical, intel
lectual. family, civil and aesthetic educa
ton, but leaves out the most important
Of all, religious education. SO here, he
leads us up to the point of seeing that
character and certain moral sentiments
are the ieaven needed in our political
mass, but stops short of Indicating the
means whereby that moral character and
those sentiment may be produced.
The only thing that we know of that
will raise the character of the. people and
implant or foster i'll them those moral
sentiments is the Christian religion That
is the leaven that will, in process of time
leav m the whole lump. If it does not
corruption and decay will ensue. Eut
we believe that it will succeed. There
may be backward slips, but there is pro-
gress, and the goal will be reached.

GUARD THE PUBLIC LANDS.
There are journals which rejoice in the

There are journals which rejoice in the
fact that 3,412. 80 more acres of pub
lie land were disposed of during the tis-
cal year ending June 80, 1889, than dur
ing the preceding year. But some of
them are bstrayers of the people, and
others are under the delusion that a
rapid disposal of public land means a
rapid in crease in the number of small
farms established by immigrants. There
is great need of vigilance to prevent the
sale of the public lands at prices far be-
low the real value of the property sold.

which passed from the hands of the gov
ernment last year, we observe that 5,016

What part of the total Z, 933 10 acres sold

Treasury? Unless the people are vigilant,
land monopolies like that which has ours
