THE o, l., AND THE OR. e. MOO

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Some new and
important features of the tripartite agree
mert have just come to light. On the
completion Of the Oregon Short Line to
connection with the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company, the through
rates over the Council Bluffs line shall be
50 divided as to allow the Union Pacific
a fair proportion Of all rates made, inclul-
ing bridge tolls on the traffic to and from
points in Oregon, which shall take Port
land rates equal to the proportion which,
at the time, shall be allowed to that por-
ton of competing line over the Northern
Pacific west OF st. Paul An the traffic
over the Union Pacific passing through
San Francisco and Portland, including
traffic to and from points in or beyond thu
Pacific ocean, shall take san Francisco
pd Portland rates. Allowance is made
for bridge tolls only ON traffic to and from
points in Nevada, Oregon and California
If the through rate is reduced on first
class freight from Chicago to Denver
to meet competition, the Union Pacif,
shall receive ~ pei cent. of the reduced
through rate, and the other roads -
per cent Differences Of opinion as Il
the Interpretation OF the agreement or per
iurmance Of contracts shall be settled by
referees, for whose appointment provision
is made, recourse being had to the judge
OF the United States circuit court OF Chi
cago for the appointment, under certain
contingencies. 1t is thought there are
still unrevealed provisions Of the compact,
which may possibly be exposed at the
meeting of the lows pool Saturday
We Were assured by party on the
26th of December that the above agree
ment did not and would net affect in any
manner the further building of the o, :.
l.. towards Puget Sound via. Snake river
Other considerations would control the
progress Of that line

U. S. GRAND JURY REPORT.

In the District Court, first judicial dis
trict Of Idaho, sitting for trial Of eases
arising under the constitution and
laws of the L. S, December 1883.
To the Hon. Norman Buck, Judge of
said court; We, the grand jury of the
United States within and for the first iu-
dicial district Of Idaho, was duly ompan-
nclled on the Doth day of Dee, 1883.
VIM. Evans was by the court appointed
foreman of the jury and u. A. Stems
was, by the jury, elected clerk. We in
vcstigated eight cases and found six in
dietments and ignored two cases.
We believe the laws for the protection
of school lands should be inforced so that
when this Territory shall become State
the school sectors SO and 16 will be-
me of much value in establishing got d
and frequent schools in every city or set
Element Of people, We would recommend
that exertions be made and urged upon
Congress to have the law of Washington
Territory, whereby vacant public timber
l~ads of the United States are sold by the
United States at maximum price wiz,
$3.50 per acre. to those desiring to pur-
chase for timber, may be extended to
Idaho Territory. From our knowledge
of Judge Buck for four years past and
our observation of his presiding at this
court we unhesitatingly say hat for fair
ness, ability and dispatch OF business, he
has excelled in large degree, and we be-
lieve the people of tins district would be
losers if he is not re-appointed, and We
earnestly hope he may be re.appointed
by the President
There is no further business before the
sarnd jury and We request to be discharg-
ed from further attendance on this court.

FREDERICk BILLINGS.

This gentleman is now spoken Of as
the probable successor Of Willard as pres
dent Of the Northern Pacific, and the
only objection We have heard made against
his filing the place, has been the fact
that he suecumbcd to Willard blind pool,
with but feeble struggle to prevent,
and then sold to Willard large amount
Of bis own stock. His reply to Willard ;
first attempt to get control, was manly
and met the views Of every real friend Of
the Northern Pacific, and had he be n
able to maintain the position assumed in
that letter, I've would have preserved fully
the reputation Of being the sagacious and
Just man among all his associates, as well
as among the people, that had enabled
him to rally to the road the confidence
OF all after the failure Of Jay Cooke. The
road was then purely American enter
prise and under the control of Americans,
and should have 50 remained, even though
it would require few more years to build
But the syndicate who had promised the
&i0,000,OOO demanded representation
in the directory, and Willard, having by
stragctcal movement secured the pur-
chase Of the Oregon Steam Navigation
companys property, and the formation
of the o. Il. & n. Go. and other proper
ties, his German friends thought him
gigantic Gnanccr and hence were willing
to eutrust him with the blind pool Of from
SS,000,000 to $l5,0O0,000, and with
this he bought up floating stock 50 as to
give him a majority Of stock aside from
the stocks held in common by the com
pany. To prevent the change of control
the attempt was vigorously made to utilize
those shares that are common, and this
caused Wizards injunction suit, which
was finally compromised Billings sold
heavily of his stock, and Willard was
made president. 1t was this yielding of
Billings that has made some of his friends
dissatisfied with him, although it would
seem that he was virtually compelled to
do SO by the star of Willard ascending so
rapidly among the German stockholders
and the syndicate who were to furnish the
Sl0,o0o,o00, We have the best Of reas-
sons for believing that Billings never has
been satisfied with that arrangement, but
he was overpowercd by the circumstances
in which he was placed And now since
the meteor Willard has exploded, we can
see no good reason why the company
should object to reinstatins Fred. Billings
as President.

if the o. 5. L. should, when at the Co

she can have no advantage. i'fci --ht-

Snake river to the mouth Of Burnt river

the Columbia over the Blue mountains
via. Baker City to the same point at the
mouth Of Burnt river, as no whore on the
Snake river route viii there be a mile Of
grade in the road that will exceed 10 feet
The people Of Lewiston and Waiia WalIa
both occupy positions along aud in refer
ence to this Snake river line, that d.
mands Of them that they should by al.
honest and fair means, make known to
the management Of the Oregon Short
Line the facts as they exist and the real
inducements that this country offers for
! them to build, regardless Of the wi>hg, Of
Willard system, that they should keep
out Of this country and keep Us cooped
up till they are ready to do something
which the country demands.

A NEW, BUT NOT A BETTER PLAN.

MIR. Morton's proposed new system of
nominating candidates for the Presidency
is novel, but not safer than the present.
In his essay in the Atlantic he proposes
that proportional Congressional district
conventions ballot for President and Vice
President, on a representation Of one dele
gate for every fifty votes or fraction there
OF, and each delegates vote shall count
one Thereafter the National Convention
shall meet and be formed of the district
delegates, one for each one hundred of the
delegates in the district conventions, and
one for the fractions OF one hundred with
two delegates to be sent from each Terri
tory. This National Convention will
make the platform and canvass the votes
cast for candidates in the district conYen-
tons, and declare the result. If there is
not majority for any received, then out
Of the FIVE having the highest vote the
National Convention must choose This
Is 4 deal Of machinery We admit that it
brings the question of selecting a nominee
nearer to the party voter, but unless the
district convention delegates are chosen 10y
voters at primaries and in local conven-
tions, there will not after all he
4 much closer relation established
than now. But the failure of the
scheme will develop in the fact that
the vicious and boss element will control
district conventions in time as they have
county and State conventions. The truth
Is, no system As to representation Will worl;
reform. The county and State plan is pre-
ciaely as good as any other that can be de-
vised, provided voters of party attend to
party work. The "too good citizen re-
mains at home, declaring that he takes no
active part in politics, and all that-and
that is precisely the cause of the bad ele-
ments so often obtaining control 4 broad
conviction of political duty on the part Of
citizens will alone make party representa-
