they are poor and degraded, and need our
help. They have indeed, been well aided and
the work is progressing; the Lord is aiding the
work. Ten years ago mission was begun on
MT. Lebanon, spot much spoken of in the
sacred Scriptures. There is now church
there, and schools, in which 300 children are
receiving Christian education He spoke of
the rapid diffusion of the English language
and the necessity that the literature we send to
other countries be pure, and the missionaries
and churches at home whole-hearted and faith
full. God had noble work for this century, the
charge to every one was, "Do the best thou

Eli Jones was followed by Sarah Harris, who
spoke of the work in the South, and Emeine
futile, a missionary among the Indians
The injustice and oppression which the fndi-
ans have met with at the hands of the govern
ment was wildly portrayed, and an earnest
plea made for their succor by the Christian
people of our land. She referred to the strife
with the Modocs in the lava beds about ten
years ago, their Punishment to the Indian Ter
ritory, and their being taken in charge by the
Friends. They were found to be anxious to ac-
quire an education for themselves and chill
dren; they were desirous OF knowing about the
Christian religion, and nearly all of the chiefs
and leading men accepted it for themselves
and lived devoted Christian lives.

Mortgage Tax Law

1t would seem somewhat singular
that the mortgage law passed by the
last Legislature should retard the con-
struction Of railroads IN this state, but
such is likely To- be the result, in one
instance at least. The Forest Grove
and Astoria railroad land grant lies
within the boundaries OF four coun-
ties. In order to raise money OF its
bonds il is necessary TO mortgage
these lands as security for its pay
meut.
The mortgage tax law provides that
any mortgage on land in more than
one county shall be void, and, 1t is
said that the company is seriously
embarrassed by this clause, and that
they may be entirely prevented from
raising money on their bonds by
reason of it.
II is more than probable that under
the guise Of a taxation scheme, the
agents CT the Central Pacific railroad
have succeeded in using the legisla-
ture of Oregon for the purpose of pre-
venting the people of the Willamette
valley from having direct railroad
communication with the mouth of the
Columbia. Let the farmers Who ulti-
mately have to pay for the lighterage
and towase Of wheat vessels over the
bars between Astoria and Portland,
think of this, and in the meantime,
will Mr.. Bilyieu, the statesman from
Linn, who engineered this scheme
through the state senate, please rise
and stand until he is counted-Ors-
goa City ERterpsise.

Advertising Bilks.

Probably no newspaper office is
complete without a choice collection
of electrotypes, logotypes, zincotypes,
and other types of bilking advertising
agents who send their orders minus
the cash from the east and reckon on
every insertion they get from credu-
lous Oregon publishers as so much
gain. They must think that Oregon
newspaper men are gullible, and in
deed look through the columns Of
the most of our state and territorial
exchanges shows that they are not far
wrong. The Oregonidn, NelUs, Stan
ddrd, and Portland Sunday papers;
the Seattle papers and few more
don't give these frauds any space, but
in numerous instances they get col
umn aft II column of free advertising.
To show them up, or name them,
does no good. The only effective
plan is to refuse all advertisements
unaccOmpanied by the cash, unless
coming from well known and re-
sponsible agency.

Jim Renwick" Backed to Beat the
World.

0regonians don't seem to appreciate
the fact that the fastest running horse
in the world Is owned In Multnomah
county, by Mr.. Lee Knott, of East
Portland. When "Jim Renwick"
beat the record in California this sum-
mer he merely gave them a taste of
what he can do, if the confidence
placed in his reserve powers of speed
by his.owner and trainers, is any cri-
terion. When in California, Mr.. Lee
Knott offered to bet the agricultural
Society at Sacramento 1900 that his
horse would beat Tenbroeck's best
mile time, if 5000 purse would be
hung BY them for a free for all race;
and when he left for home, the matter
was being considered. The bet is a
bold one, for it shows that Lee Knott
thinks his horse is worth $1,000
against $1,000 in a race to beat the
world. Horsemen here are praying
that Renwick will not be brought to
the Oregon State FAIR, as he will have
a virtual walk over" for al the pre-
miums. Welcome

Justice Court.

Matters in the justice court open
lively for September. The Saturday
matinee was well attended, and the
6ning Of the bunko sharps Hinkle and
Fournay, may deter others from
working the same game. Yesterday,
the fact of the Rossdhu being about to
sail brought up the same old charges
of brutality in relation to sailors that
have been iterated and reiterated so
often in this and other ports. 1t
ended in the fning Of Dan Moran,
Thos. Ward, and Richard McCarron,
fifty dollars each for ass lulting some
sailors on board that vessel.
A lively suit occasioned by the
carving of dog, occupied his honor's
attention at three o'clock. 1t was a
family quarrel on Young's river, and
resulted in the ining of VIM. Thoma-
son fifty dollars for cutting. slicing
and otherwise iujurlously maltreating
one large dog, said dog being the
property of Mr.. Munson, and the
whole business being contrary to the
peace and dignity of the state of Ore
gon.
