Last Tuesday morning DEMOCRAT
man had the pleasure ofa ride with Mr..
George Simpson, after his fine sir Walter
mare, to the fair grounds neav this city,
which he found In splendid condition for
speeding purposes, as soon as good
north wind shall have relieved the track
ofa surplus amount of moist. The object
of the trip. was to obtain view of the
several two year o,da bolGg trained there
under the charge of Mr. AL Bunker, an
experienced horseman, recently from
walla walla. Mr. bunker kindly exhibit
ed his charges, OF which he Ii Justly
proud. A fine looking bay horse from
Sir waltor. owned by MIR simpson, and an
Inauguration horse, the property ei Dave
Maloney, of Independence, were first in-
troduced, both exhibiting many fine
points then In succession u horse and
tilley. owned by DIR. Wilcox, two horses oi
Mr. Bunker, and two alleys, the property
of Mr. Ans. Marshall. These last six were
all sired by the famous Al. Wood, the
dams of each OF them being sired by the
we'll known Bslliounder, Together with
i've yearlings, four OF which are now
owned by Mr. simpson aud one by DIR,

It Is with pleasure that the DEMOCRAT
notices each new effort TO raise the stand

The oregon E'aeiae.

1t has been for some time matter of
great concern to the people of the Will
lamette Valley that affairs on the Oregon
Pacific were not shaping themselves in n
manner for the people TO rejoice over,
The completion of the road itself VAS a
result we had long hoped for, aud when
Il was effected to Corvallis we eongratu.
lated ourselves on the fact, for the people
OF the valley are universally friends of the
road but Immediately trouble began TO
Drew, laborers could not get their pay,
script went down TO as low as 80 to 90
cents on the dollar, strikes for wages oc-
ourred, tunnel was buried out, trains
stopped, stand still was the result. Sew
eral months have elapsed, and II con.
tinues. Feeling In Benton county runs
high against the management. This fact
cannot be- covered up, II Is easy to go to
extremes on both sides of the question.
Certainly 1t Is a sad spectacle TO sec men
who have laborad for months until they
have become creditors to the amount OF
S5s up to $500 completely unable 10 get
their money, though, they are sufiarin e
for 1t. On the other hand Il IL not pleas .
ant to see men condemRed by the whole
sale who have put fifteen or twenty of the
best years of their life into the enterprise.
At the same time II the circumstances
show that they deserve It there can be
only one thing to do. As we have not
been appointed Judge In the matter we
have no decision 10 render or opinion to
give until further Investigation. II Is q
lamentable Tact though that the present
out. look Is 50 poor. It certainly Is to be
hoped that the tide, whatever its present
nature, may be stemmed and the Oregon
Pacific be put on sound financial footing,
But II must be remembered sensibly that
this is time when railroad stock In the
U. s. is quoted low, dozens of roads not
paying expenses, and others going into
the hands of receivers, which makes it
most difficult thing to obtain money for
building purposes. ofcourse these facts
offer no excuse foe cases of misma NEe-
melt If there have been any,

Memorial Sermon.

On last Sabbath the members of McPher:.
son Post, No. 5, G.. A. r., marched in a
body to the Congregational Church in this
city to hear the memorial sermon preached
by Rev w Harris. The sermon was re.
plete with good sense, sound morals and a
liberal christian spirit. As might have been
expected it was devoid of all that narrow,
partisan spirit and sectional feeling which is
at once the bane of all good government and
praiseworthy citizenship. The sermon met
the hearty approval of the members of the
Post and shows again that if the spirit of
sectional hate was left to the control of the
"soldier boys" it would be wiped out of ex
istence at one fell swoop.
