The Oregon.

The great event of the year in trans
atlantic steamship circles has been the
debut of the Guion Line steamer Oregon,
Capt. james Price, arrived at the bar, of
Sandy Hook, on Sunday last. She was
built to eclipse her Heet-footed sisters,
the Arizona and Alaska, the race horse
and the greyhound" of the Atlantic.
The former, which won laurel after laurel
for her remarkable averages of high
speed. was never equalled until her
younger sister outstripped her and low
ingly bore off the coveted prize for fleet
ness. What the newborn sister will ac-
complish remains to be seen in the near
future. That she is bright child OF
promise is evidenced in the remarkable
speed developed in her trial trip, when
she made a record of over 20 knots pei
hour, and if she has the prOpOrtionate
latent speed hidden away as her prede,
cessors had, she will beat that marvellous
record. She has been provided with
herculean motive power to withstand
any assault that may be attempted tC
exceed her former record, and all that
human skill could command has beer
centered in her to combine strength,
luxury and the acme of speed. Built by
the highest naval talent in all Europe
super intended with jealous care by hel
designers and owners. she is master
piece of the art and science of shipbuild'
ing and marine engineering. As the
Nautical Gazette has given some very
elaborate notices of the Oregon as hel
construction has progressed, it will now
but briefly allude TO her principal dl
mensions, She is $40 feet in length, 81
feet beam, and 40 feet nine inches il
depth, her gross measurement being
about 1900 tons. She is propelled by
magnificent engines, having three cylin'
ders, one 20 inches and two 104 inches
| diameter, and feet stroke, developing
! 1900 horse pOwer-a most notable com.
/ bination of magnitude and power, and
so systematically combined as to be un,
der the control, as it were, of two men,
! one above aEd the other below decks, a
machine, graceful, of tremendous power
yet as tractable as the merest mechanical
| toy.

with jealous care. Let them remain un-
contaminated by the horrible influence
now being spread by sensual hypocrits
and soulless charlatans. Asyet congress
has taken but little interest in the matter
for some reason best known to members
thereof, and as a consequence it remains
for the people at large TO throttle the
evil IN the best manner possible and rid

OF Mormon elders signitied their inten-

AS will be seen by notice in anoth-
CT column, W. w. Cook, president of
the Southwestern Stock Growers Asso-
citation, asks the members Of that aSsO-
citation to meet i'm Medicine Lodge next
Tuesday, 18th inst, for the purpose of
taking some action towards employing
an inspector, to be stationed ut Kansas
City. We hope there will he a good at
tendance at the meeting and that some
thing definite will be done in this very
important matter. In March, during
the stock meeting at this place, an eff
fort was made TO get enough men in
terested ~ warrant the employment Of
an inspector, but for some reason the
matter was not properly worked up,
and no inspector has been employed.
IL was demonstrated then that IL 50, 900
head Of cattle were listed IL would only
be necessary TO collect one dollar for
every hundred, or one cent per head, to
pay an Inspector for his services from
June LIST To November LIST. Strange as
1t may appear only about one-tenth of
the necessary number Of cattle was
listed
Stockmen OF Barber and Comanche
counties should think we'll over this.

spector. The inspector employed by
the Cherokee Strip association already
has rs many brands as he can look after

Then who will do it2 1t is generally
believed that many animals from this
range drifted long way from home
last winter, and no roundup, no matter
how carefully conducted, can find them
all. These will more than likely turn
out frequently in Kansas City this sea-
son.
One animal recovered will more than
pay the expense any one man will be
subjected to for many years in employ
ing an Inspector.

mand that the county commissioners re-
fuse TO allow or pay any expenses

After more than six months spent i'm
trial Of the Star Route cases, the Jury
last week returned verdict of acuuit-

suit was not looked for, though hung
jury would not have been a surprise.
There was mover such n mass Of compli-
Gated evidence, So many skilled lawyers
and counsellOrs and such an array of
eloquence and ability employed i'm any
case before the courts Of this country.
The jury WAS matte ny VI very ordinary
men, and II Is not surprising that these
were not able to unravel the intricate
points Of law and evidence presented
for their consideration. And il does
seem that the prosecution and defense
were determined to make every point
as cloudcd as possible. They succeed
cd admirably. This will be the end of
the prosecutions in these cases. Dorsey
and his co-conspirators can now enjoy
their il-gotten wealth that remains af-
