OREGON TO THE RESCUE.
A New Law that Will Permit the Ore.
gOn Short Line to Reach Portland.

For some time past rumors have
been in circulation to the effect that
Wizards Northern Pacific Railroad, or
a branch or offshoot of that road, had
obtained control of the only pass into
Oregon on the line of the Oregon
Short Line Road, and that hundreds
of armed men were grading the pass
to keep the employees of the latter road
from laying track through it. The
rumors were correct as to the facts, but
the Oregon Short Line has out-man-
euvred its willy opponent and secured
the use of the Burnt river canyon
pass jointly with the Willard road. At
least it is not known that the Short
Line people had any direct agency in
the passage of the law, but the result
is as favorable to it as if it had.
The law referred to prevents any
railroad corporation whose right of
way or track extends through any
mountain pass or canyon, from pre-
venting any other such corporation
from building Its road through such
place. It provides that where, from
the width and nature of the ground,
an additional line cannot be
constructed at reasonable ex-
pense, any corporation desiring to
build through such canyon shall have
the right to pass through the same on
any track therein built, the compensa-
ton to be determined as in ordinary
condemnation of the right of way
through lands Of individual owners.
This will allow the Oregon Short Line
Road to pass through Burnt river
canyon, and also down the Columbia
to Portland if desired.

LYNCHING on THE 0. 8. L.
John Watson Hanged for R0bbery-h
Assistant Sent 70 HALEY for Trial.

Asslstant Sent to HALEY for Trial.
About dusk last Thursday evening,
John Watson and Cash Austin, rail-
road hands employed in grading near
Billingsley's, shot and robbed William
Fox, fellow-laborer, of over 5000, at
q point about 10 miles below Patton's
station. Fox was wounded in the
wrist and side, but made his way to
Hale, Smith s. Co.'S camp, where he
related what had occurred. A strong
posse was Immediately raised to pur-
sue the robbers, which, after an all
night chase, succeeded in capturing
them the next morning and taking
them to Hale, Smith & Co.'s camp,
where they were identified by Fox. A
court was improvised, and the pris-
oners put upon trial. The evidence
was clear against John Watson. He
had been . ''partner" of Fox's for
months past, sleeping and eating with
him, and fired the shots at Fox as the
latter was walking ahead of him, on
his way back from the Kelton road
crossing, where he had been to pur-
chase some underclothes and pair of
overalls.
Austin had at first refused to assist
Watson, but the latter compelled him
to help by threatening to kill him.
The jury of railroad men condemn
ed Watson to be hung near the scene
Of the robbery and attempted murder,
and ordered that Austin be turned
over to the authorities for trial. Aus
tin was therefore sent to HALEY in
charge Of a deputy sheriff. At the
conclusion Of the trial rope was pro-
cured, a moose made, and passed
around Watson's neck, and he was
led to the Kelton crossing and hang
ed in sight Of the place where his
crime was committed. The hanging
took place about 8 o'clock Friday af-
ternoon, over 200 men attending the
execution. A couple Of hours later
the body was stripped of its clothes
and left hanging.
A TINES correspondent, writing
from Elizabeth postoffice Billings
ley's) says: "Feeling ran very high,
and regiment Of soldiers could not
have saved him. The people are de
termined to stop the shooting and
robbing that has been going on along
the O. S. L. railway, and they will
make it sultry for any caught in the
act"
Watson and Austin worked on the
grade only at intervals, when they got
broke. Their avocation was that of
"sagebrush gamblers" and they fol-
lowed the railroad camps from Granger
out.

one of his passions. Never mind" Satan
whispered to him, "you were born with
a bad temper, and God knows that you
cannot help it," For little while he
listened to this tempter; but after bit
he saw how false the words were. Ger
tainly he had been born with bad tenn

God IS grace? No, no that the i'll weed
in his heart was so old and strong was no
reason that he should allow it to flourish
still, and destroy the sweet flowers which
God loves to see grow and bloom SO he
set to work to root it out. How hard he
worked How he struggled with that
evil weed Sometimes he fancied that
he had conquered it, and then it would
crop up where he least expected it. But
he was successful, for he tried asking
Gods help to cast it out.
If any OF you are tempted by hearing

A Bad Temper.

Two boys were disputing one day ;
they quarrelled so that they came to
blows Their father separated them and
spoke very seriously to them am
surprised at you, John, said he to the
elder you are generally such good
boy
/" would be good if he did not provoke
me, said John, looking angrily at his
brother.
Yes, and every one can be good tenn
pered when no on provokes and small
credit does such good temper deserve. 1t
is when things 60 against US, when people
irrltate and vex us, that it is good to be
patient.
There was lad who, from his very
baby had been noted for his fits Of
passion His brothers and sisters all
tried to avoid offending him, but every
now and then a storm Of rage would
come, and he cared not what he said or
did, so angry was he. He heard people
talk about following Christ, and he
thought that he should like to have the
great God for his father, the Lord Jesus
for his friend, and the blessed Spirit to
dwell in his heart, instead Of the evil
thoughts and bad desires which always
reigned there He went to Jesus in
prayer, and asked him for grace to give
himself to God For days afterwards he
hoped that he really was a child Of the
Heavenly King, and that he had really

Gossip.


What is gossip but the patent sign of
vulgarlty in heart and mind? Intellect
that never rises beyond the small mean
facts of personal history, fluidity which
cannot keep to itself what has been told
In confidence, and That goes about
swelling molehills into mountains, can
claim no respect, make out no case for
itself against the decree Of gross. vile
stupid vulgarity recorded against it. 1t
is as thoroughly vulgar as is curiosity :;
and between prying into things with
which we have no concern, and RETAILING
gossip which is no business of ours to
handle at all, there is not hairs breadth
to choose. Each is equally the sign of
utter and entire vulgarity and if one is
the bull s-eye, the other is the gold. But
both are faults to be found growing as rank
as weeds by the waysiGe, and it would
not be hard to- count upon ones fingers
among our largest circle OF acquaintance
those who are absolutely free from the
vice OF gossip and the vulgarity of curiosi-
ty;, SO, too, intensely vulgar is that
habit of talking people over INDUCED in
by some who yet have all the outward
seeming of thorough breeding. There
are houses where one goes where the
rule is to discuss, not always amiably. all
those guests, misnamed friends, who have
Just left after the dinner is over or the
solree has come to an end. Just as there
are people who make it rule to discuss
also by no means amiably, the host and
hostess who have this moment entertained
them, all the arrangements made in their
honor, and all the guests who have been
invited to visit them. There Is no shame
felt by these queer friends, these now
hosts and now guests, because there is no
sense of kindness received or hospitality
displayed. The thing is only a social
bargain, a quad pro quo involving no
dellcacy, because devoid of all sincerity.
1t is mere social form like saying
" Dear Sir to a man for whom you have
no regard, and signing an insolent letter
" Your obedient servant" or false one
" Yours faithfully" SO many dinners
for so many and then the account is
squared. What never does come quite
square is the amount of Immature that
serves as the chase cafe when all is done
and the guests fall foul of the hostess and
and the hostess sneers at the guests. 1t
is only one step lower in the scale than
that other act of MISUNDERSTANDING
you to your face-in which so many
people indulge 1t is not the least we'll
bred OF the two who. accepts the annoy
ance quietly, and forbears to retaliate
with the same weapons or different ones.
Indeed, quietness and gentleness and the
dignity which can bear unprovoked
assaults without apparent annoyance,
yet without craven submission, count
among the very antitheses of vulgari-
ty. Would that we had more of such |
good breeding in the world AS good |
grain chokes out the rampant weeds, so
would tempers of that kind choke out the
vulgar peevishness which "shows spirit
at every turn as well as that still more
vulgar insolence which provokes it.

Died Young.

He hardl needs an epitaph,
This little saint of Cod
He faded with the summer flowers,
And summers pathway trod.
Ere yet the daisies white of spring
To pluck had lost their charm,
All fair and innocent as they,
Death shielded him from harm.
No time had he in his short days
To read life's lesson stern,
His Father wished his lisping voice

Even of things divine,

Unto this child OF Mine
-" Girt round with love, below, above,
Sweet sunshine overhead,
Earth's skies of blue not long can last"
The loving Saviour said.
The road will soon be rough and steep
For such babe as this,
The cross too heavy he shall have
Instead crown of bliss"
Those laughing eyes of thine, fair child,
God never wished to weep;
Ere smiles had fed, the shadows fell,
OF deaths long. silent sleep.
On gentle heart he never meant
Sorrows dark cloud to rest.
The golden sunshine up above
Is safer, surer, blest
Suffer the little ones to come
To me- and | will bless;
What better blessing can | give
Than this divine caress2
And lest my little lamb should fear
The valley we pass through,
/ take him first within my arms,
And close his eyes of blue.
"a little worker in my field
Sweet smile and gentle tone,
He watered as he passed along
The seed fair love had sown.
His small hands full of gathered sheaves,
He came with willing feet,

From glare of noon tide heat.
l called him ere the future rose
Before bewildering eyes,
Ere earth's gay dreams, mirage sweet,
Deluding could arise;
And lest the haunting voice of time
The evening should o'ercast
took him i'll the morn of life
Before he had past"

that was how she got ahead of me in

I had to go. {.
