PUBLICITY is one of the conditions
OF modern life, and it is assumed that
it is more a condition of American
existence than that of any other peo-
pie. Long since a foreigner of dis
tinction spoke OF that full glare of
the American eye" in which he
seems TO have thought everybody
here had 10 live, whether liking it or
hating it. But publicity is not an
Americanism simply, and such it
never has been; and il belongs TO us,
not because we live so much further
TO the west than most others of the
people who are civilized, or pretend
to be SO, but IN virtue of our human
ity Retirement is as easy thing to
have in America as it is elsewhere, by
which we mean, not that it is a thing
of course anywhere, but that it must
be paid for, no matter in what
land, or under whGt sky, the
lover of silence and quiet
and the avoider of noise and hustle
and confusion, may dwell Every
thing else being bought and sold, why
should not freedom from disturbance
bring its just price in that market
which we call the world? That price
need not be stated either in silver or
in gold, in greenbacks or in brown
bscks.

A WASHINGTON special SAYS that
Congressman Payson of Illinois, at
the coming session OF Congress, will
early introduce 2 bill to forfeit the
Texas Pacific land grant. The tele-
gram goes ON to declare further that
he viii also ask Congress to forfeit
the grant now claimed by the North
ern Pacific in Oregon. The Ship
Island railroad in Mississippi has
several million acres of valuable pine
lands, held by forfeited land grant.
Proceedings against this road will
also he pushed 10y Payson. Along the
line of the Southern Pacific are a
number of settlers who have gone
on to lsnds granted to the Texas Pa
ciic, taking their chances of ever be-
ing turned. out. Vacation OF lands
10y congress would help the settle
ment and development of the coun-
Try. There viii probably be a good
deal of investigation of alleged rail-
way corruptions. 1t is charged that
the Northern Pacific spent 100000
or 100000 here last winter for the
purpose of influencing favorable re-
port upon extending their land grant.
Developments OF expenditures of
S60O,000 by Huntington to beat
Thurman's bill, as were brought out
in San Francisco courts, have attract
ell such attention as TO warrant be-
lief that a general investigation will
be ordered into the managen ent and
condition of Pacific roads.

THE q. r. & y. co.

THE annual report of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company
shows the total expense account for
the year 20 be about S5,O00,OOO. The
surplus profits for the same time are
set down at a little less than $3O0,OOO
The years receipts were S11,0O0,O0O;
the years disbursements little over
S10,O0OO0O. The assets are set at
something over S23,O00,0OO.
The o. r. & n. Co.'s stock is the
only one OF the Willard stocks that
sells at par; it is the only one that is
looked upon as a present paying in
vestment.
The history OF the formation of the
company is as interesting as anything
OF the kind in the record of financial
operations, and is illustrative of
Henry Wizards genius for producing
desired results.
In 1879 the Oregon Steam Naviga-
ton company and the Oregon Steam
ship company occupied the same rela-
ton to the northwest coast that the
o. r. & n. Co. now does. Willard OBJ
tained possession of the first-named
company by buying from J. c. Aims
worth and others forty thousand of
the fifty thousand shares of stock at
price which may be stated at two
and a-quarter million dollars. Five
years previous Mr.. Willard, who was
az the time managing the affairs of
the O. & @. railroad, had been given
by the creditors of that then insol-
vent corporation. controlling inter
est in the Oregon Steamship company
In consideration OF his relinquish-
ment OF the interest that his peculiar
genius had enabled him to gain in the
railroad.
So that the controlling interest in
the two companies had not cost Mr..
Willard and friends a great deal of
money. He then made up his famous
combination, and organizing the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation com
pany by consolidating the two old
companies, he, in 1880, floated S12,-
000000 OF stock and bonds of the new
company. The stock went away
above and beyond par: was consid-
cred a good buy, and If was not long
till S6,000,000 more went on the mar
ket and was promptly taken. Again an
additional amount OF stock went out,
until at the present time it is calcu-
lated that there is afoat some S24.0O0-
600 in stock and bonds OF this corpo-
ration. According to the report
just made public this is a little less
than one million dollars more than
what the company's property is said
TO be worth, though as to the ques-
tion OF value, it is thought 10y some
that to duplicate the property Of the
company would not require anything
like that amount.
