THE OREGON SHORT LIxE

Upon the return homo Of Gen. A.
I. Williams of Topeka, Kansas. who
visited Portland In the interest oi
tho Oregon Short Line about two
mouths ago, he was interviewed by
a reporter OF the Omaha Herald.
That paper says
"Gen. A. T.. Williams, OF Topeka
who is the attorney OF tho Union
Pacific railroad in Kansas, hss re,
turned from a trip to Oregon and
Washington territory, where he ha.
been looking over the ground with O
view to tho extension of the Union
Pacific's Oregon line to Portland and
Puget sound respectively from the
present terminus at Baker City, iu
Oregon. The newspapers OF Oregon
and Washington bring accounts oil
his trip, and state the necessary
papers have been fled for the organ.
ization to build these extensions.
The people of that part Of the Pacific
northwest are reported rejoicing in
the prospect of having TIE UniOn Paci.
fic Guilt into and developed their
country. Gen. Williams expressed
himself as much pleased with what
he saw, and considers 1t % great
country.
"The general did not hesitate to
express his belief that Puget sound
will ultimately be the outlet Of all
routes to the Pacific Coast north o
San Francisco. The route to Japan
naturally starts from the coast at
point nearly as far north as Pag ct
Sound and the current takes sailing
vessels in that course, while steam
ships also find it the nearest routc
The routes over which it has be en-
organized to build in Oregon aret wo
In number, both with Portland for an
objective point. The southern route
leaves the Union Pacific's Oregon
main line at the junction of Malheur
river with the Snake on the eastern
boundary Of Oregon. 1t runs due
west to the center of the state.
From this point to the mouth of the
Santian river either one or wo
routes is proposed through the Gas
cade range, the lower following the
Willamette river and the upper
Santiam to Salem, from which point
there Is single route laid out north
to Portland. The northeastern route
starts from Baker City, the terminus
of the Oregon short line, and rams to
UmatilIa, following the Columbia
west thence to Portland"

The New York Times says that there
is no necessity for the coming anticoolie
dem ,nstration here, because, if there is
any opposition to the passage of a bill
restricting Chioess immigration, cit
has not been manifested. This is an
error. Tha TINES AMI other journals
have recently publislel articles calcu.
lated to discourage lch action. A few
interested schemers have bssn circnlat-

that the best sentiment here is oppos-
Ell to action. Congress has been in ses-
sion long tim,, yet nothing has been
done. Attempts to take up the bill
have been successfully resisted. Ger

The Democratic County Osntral
Committee met at tho DEMooRAr Office
on Wednesday, March Sth, every mem-
Der being present. II was decided to
held two. primary and two County
Conventions The Grst County Convea-
sion will be held for the purpose of
selecting sixteen delegates to attend
the State Convention, and will bc held
according to the recommendation of tho
State Committee, on Wednesday,
March 29th, with the primaries on the
Saturday previous-the 25th. Tho
second County Convention, 10 nominate
full ticket for the county Offices, will
bo held on Wednesday, May 10th, with
the primaries on the previous Saturday
May 9th. The apportioAment was
basod on the vote for Hon. John Whit
eaker at tho June election in 1880.
OAe vote was given fsr each precinct,
one for every - votes, and one fer ev-
cry fraction of ID or over. The appor.
tionmeAt will be found in another col.
umn. 1'ho members of the committee
were all enthusiastic, and we're unaAi-
nous in the opinion that Democracy
would again rule in this county after
the June election. Tho ball is now
open. 1t is sincerely to DO desired that
the Precinct meetings be we'll attended.
Oar party came out Of the last fight in
this county in bad shape, and to prevent
such disaster again we must work To
secure the greatest unanimity and har-
mony, and one Of the best plans that
can be adopted is to begin in the pri-
msries by sending up as delegates yoar
trusst and most intelligent men. Send
up taosa who will work for tho best in
tsrsSts of the party-men who will sac
rifco personal preferences in the inter
est of harmony and success. Iou can
all spno two half days this spring, and
you cannot in any way accomplish moro
for your county and yourselves in the
same length Of time than by attending
tbs primaries and selecting gsod dele
gates TO our C'z,.;;y- ct'asnve=.:oEa. You
have plenty Of time between now and
the primaries to cast about you and
make your selections in a judicious
manner, and ii you improve your
opportsa,ty We know the result will be
good.

The ''Independeht,' Republican,
paper at Hilisboro iocsn't like TO see
Mallory loss his head. and goes
after Judge Watson, the successor oi
Rufus, in this kind Of style:
The seventh article OF the Oregon
State constitution prescsibes that
judges of thu Circuit and Supreme
Courts shall take an oath in which
they swear that the, viii not accept
any other Office except Judicial eflices
during tho term for which they havo
been elected. Notwithstanding Judge
J. +. Watson, now cireuit Judge of the
second judicial district of tLis State,
has been nominated by The PresidenI
for L. S. District Attorney, to take
the place OF Rufus Mallory, whose
term expired last December Oaths
are small things to the inyeterate Office
seeker. If Watson accepts he ought to
be prosecuted and son. to the peniten.
tiary and set to making brick. No le-
gal quibbling and hairsplis,ing should
allow him to escape justice.
