The Railroad.

The Independence side of the Polk County
itenai@er suggests that perhaps the GAZETTE
c:4n enlighten them upon the progress and
I the time of completion of the Oregon Pa
ciic Railroad" In reply we are compelled
to say that we cannot except that we are
creditably informed that the company have
recently taken charge of the three tunnels
on the line of the road the contractor hav-
ing thrown them up, and that the company
is now pushing them forward under their
own immediate supervision That some
grading is being done at present by few
hands. As to the time of the completion of
the road or the business workings of the
company we know nothing about. In fact
it would not be wise for any company to
make known to any outsider the secret
workings of their business, and hence we
do not expect to be able to give information
on that branch of the subject We feel
perfectly confident, however, that the road
will be built and completed in due time,
and that too, under the present manage
ment. We feel as surely satisfied as ever
that such will be the case So satisfied are
we because during the twelve or fifteen
years which Col. Hogg has been laboring to
forward the interests of that railroad and of
Yaquina bay, we have been unable to find
or learn of sin,.l instance in which he has
broken faith with the people or failed to
make his promises or assertions in regard
to it come substantially true. In every in
stance he has so far as we can learn made
his promises regarding these enterprises
come true And we are therefore satisfied
tn at his promises to build the road will be
carried out with exa ct good faith if it is in
the power Of man to do so.

How a Newspaper Ruined a Restaurant

The proprietor of restaurant ad.
yertised IN an Arkansaw newspaper,
aud refused to pay the bill. at the end
Of the month, declaring that he had
not real zed any benefit and that he
would not pay for what he did not re-
ceive. The newspaper man relnon-
strated, and the restaurant man or
dered him out of the house. The
! next issue Of the paper contained a
few paragraphs which did not prove
unin eresting to the restaurant man.
"rhe world has ever been filled
with spitefal rivalry. The man who
started the report that he found cat
hair in the hash at Meckleton's res
taurant is unquestionably slanderer.
We have eaten at his restaurant, and
we can truthfully say that we never
fonnd cat hair in the hash nor dog
hair in the soupe. Another man re-
gardless Of truth, declared on the
street yesterday that he found three
crickets and horse fly in one Of
Meckleton's biscuit. This is too ridic-
ulous. We never found three in his
biscuit.n
Another paragraph said "Meckle-
tons restaurant is the best house IN

The restaurant man was so mad
that lie wanted to shoot the editor, but
cooling down little, he swore out a
warrant for arrest on o charge Of

before the court, but the just Judge af-
ter hearing the evidence and reading
the paper, dismissed the case. The

The Genesis Of Jokes.


IIrzlitt says that, from the begin
ming Of the world 10 the time of He
riocles, in the early Christian days,
mankind had perpetually about TWEEN
ty-one jokes. During 800 years the
world had only twenty-one jokes to
laugh a. A new joke was made on
an average Of every $50 years. From
the time of Heriocles to the present
day the number of jokose sayings has
Increased from twenty one 20 nearly
wenty-ene million. An enormous
proportion Of this vast aggregate,
however, consisting of some modi6.

read stories about Mr.. Moody which

A Tra@'s Philosophy.

In the hip pocket Of an old vagrant
was memorandum book full Of biz
own writing with o pencil, and some
Of his philosophy is good enough to
be preserved. His first paragraph
reads:
Drinking bad whisky because it is
offered free is like getting in the way
of bullets purchased by an enemy.
A second reads;
Honesty is the best policy, but some
folks are satisfied with the second
best. 1t is hard to be honest on OIL
empty stomach.
A dry plank under q rain-roof shed
| is better than a feather-bed in jail
and one isn't annoyed by the jailel
bringing in square breakfast.
A fourth says: .
Pay as you 60. If you haven
nything to pay with, don't go. i
you are forced to 60, record every in
debtedness and let your heirs settle
& Q bills.
The fifth explains:
We should have charity for all
When winter winds blow cold and
drear we vags should pity the pool
fellows in India, who are having red
hot weather.
A sixth is recorded:
Politeness costs nothing, but 1t il
not expected that you will wake {
man up at midnight to ask permission
to 20 through his hen-house. 1t il
more courteous to let him enjoy hi
needed repose.
The seventh and last we notet
down as follows: q"

To Paris hY Rail.

To those who object to visit Europe on
account of sea sickness, the proposition
to build railroad by which one can go
from New York to Paris in fifteen days,
by an all-rail route, except forty miles on
a steamer, or two hours ride, will be in
teresting. 1t hardly seems possible that
such n thing can be done, until you read
the scheme, which is as follows Z" His
line of route, starting from the COM
mercial capital of the States, passes
through Canada, New Georgia and
Alaska to Cape Prince of Wales, whence
the passengers are to be conveyed by
steamer to East Cape, on the opposite
Asiatic coast of Behring's Straits and
distant aboucforty miles from the north
western extremity of the American con-
tinent. From East Cape the iron road
to be constructed will cross Russian ter
ritory in Northern Asia until it joins the
Siberian railway system, already in di-
rect connection, through Moscow and
st. Petersburg, with all the European
capitals. Mr.. Gregory calculates that
the distance from New York to Paris,
the American paradise, can be trav-
ersed 10y this route in 372 hours, and at a
cost of about thirty pounds to each pas
senger." The thing seems feasible and
will do away with two weeks sea sick
ness, but probably the danger from rail-
road accidents and corns from fifteen
days riding in the cars would more than
overcome the objection TO ocean travel
Still, the chances of discovering the
North Pole, by rail, would be worth
something. The cost of the proposed
railroad would be more millions of dol
lars than could be carried on all the cars
of the present railroads, but that is
nothing. People who are thinking of
going to Europe, though, should not wait
for the new road, as it may not be COM
pleted for some months. -Peck's Sun.
