OREGON NAVIGATION LEASE.
Claims That the Per Cent. Should
BE Determined by the
Earnings.

One of the principal objections to the
making of lease by the Oregon Navigation
company is that majority of the stock is
owned by New York syndicate, which
loaned the Oregon & Transcontinental COM
pany something like 10000 900 about six
teen months ago. and took Oregon Naviga-
ton shares as security. This syndicate has
the last say, and all the latest news points
to disagreement in some form or other,
and the chances are that the present nego-
tiatiOns will fail.
The talk of some Of the Northern Pa
cific people about the unwillingness
of the company to guarantee more than
per cent. dividend to Oregon Navigation
to begin with causes much merriment
among those who are at all acquainted with

Here and There.

Rhea, like most pretty girls, has a deadly
fear of mice. But when the mouse has
wings and takes the shape of bat, the
aversion is redOubled. On Thursday night
the warm air was full of these miniature
vampires and the brilliant glow of lights in
the Grand opera house drew them in in
numbers. 1t twas the last act of Arcadia"
The Baron had grasped his revolver and
was striding about the boards preparatory to
going out for the duel with Henri, and
Helene rushed in and began her purling
chatter. An immense bat entered at
the same moment and began a gyrat-
ing promenade about the house.
Rhea is not naturally cross-eyed,
and it married her beauty somewhat to bend
one eye full of laughter on the baron and
the other full of fear on the bat. The
winged animal appreciated the situation
and devoted itself to the audience. But
presently its mate appeared upon the scene,
and thus encouraged the pair took a lively
hand in the play, greatly increasing the in
tereSt. The baroness entered at this mo-
ment and her first motion was to nervOuSly
''duck" her head as one of the black objects
sailed by. A litter went up from the audi
ence, one young lady laughing aloud, until
the bat wheeled in her direction. when her
laugh ended abruptly in little shrek. Il
was relief all around when the curtain
finally descended on the narrowing scene.

Some of the papers in our goodly and godly
city are greatly exercised over the vaude-
vile pictures now on the numerous bill
boards, and are bowling loud and long for
the society for the prevention of vice to
come to the surface. These papers said
nothing, however, of the equally objection
able bills of the comic opera company,
which were recently posted everywhere.
How silly this is. It is something like the
action OF a certain mayor of a certain town,
in regard to these same vaudeville bills. He
had the bill poster go about and cover the
female figures, as far up as the waist, with
white paper. This was the acme of ridicu-
lousness and the expression was general:
''The girls have put on their white skirts. -

Yesterday was Norwegian sIndepend-
ence Day" and was appropriately celebrated
in Minneapolis. Seventy-one years ago
yesterday Norway shook off the yoke of de-
pendence on Sweden and declared herself q
free and independent nation, adopted new
constitution and abolished the nobility. The
anniversary of the event was celebrated
yesterday by mass picnic at Minnehaha
Falls, reunion at Skaters garden, 1901
Sixth street south, and dramatic perform
ance last night at Turner hall. The bad
weather interfered very much with all
three, but the attendance was good, never

the circumstances of the proposed lease. Ii
the Northern Pacific committee had any
idea that they would offer but per cent.
they would reiinquish all efforts at negotia-
ton, for they found two months ago that
the Oregon Navigation would not even en-
terrain a proposition of 5 per cent. for three
years and per cent thereafter. The Ore
gon Navigation wanted and insisted on 6
per cent. at the outset, but it is now thought
that, through the pressure OF the
Oregon Transcontinental interest, it
might accept 5 per cent. for
one or two years, with 6 per cent. there
after. Many of the stockholders are OPP
posed to any fixed rate of dividend after
five years, claiming that then the dividend
should be
DETERMINED BY THE EARNINGS,
which they are confident will be larger than
they have been, and that only by such an
arrangement can the Oregon Navigation
receive such treatment. Elijah Smith,
president of the Oregon Navigation, says
he is Indifferent about the lease, and that it
cannot be had without fair equivalent.
The Union Pacific appears even
more DESTROYS to secure the lease OF the
Oregon Navigation than does the Northern
Pacific. Jay Gould is reported to be very
intent on the lease, which is thought to be
one potent reason why it will be made.
Should it be made, it is claimed that the
Union Pacific would demand a contract with
the Northern Pacific, by which it could
reach points on Puget sound. There are
so MANY POINTS
to settle before the lease can be made that
every indication is that weeks, perhaps
months, will elapse ere the question can be
definitely determined The general opinion
is that the rejection Of the lease will be
disadvantageous to the Pacific roads and
ultimately beneficial to the Oregon Naviga-
ton. Divers capitalists, familiar with the
Northwest, feel confident that, if the lease
should be ratified, the Northern Pacific
would suspend work On the Cascade branch
for several years.

Desires 60 Enter st. Paul.

Speclal TO Cne (IlODe.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Illinois Central
is credited with the desire of operating a
through ST. Paul line, and in railroad circles
the opinion prevails that it will soon con-
summate it's intention in that direction. A
road has been graded from ST. Paul south
ward to Mona, which is known as the Min
nesota & Northwestern. Tracklaying is
now being pushed and it will soon be in
running condition. Last week contract
was let by an Iowa syndicate to build a
road between Mona and Dubuque, a dis
lance of about sixty miles, and operations
are to be commenced at once. This will form
a connection between the Minnesota &
Northwestern at Mona, and the Illinois
Central at Dubuque. 1t is asserted that all
of this is done in the interest of the latter
road, and that the new roads are backed by
that corporation. From Dubuque to Mona
the line parallels the St. Paul, and from
thence northWard runs through the territory
of both that and the Minneapolis & St.
Louis. Its completion, if the assertions
made in regard to it are correct, means the
introduction of another disturbing element
into the Northwestern pool, and readjust-
ment of traffic relations

East Bound Passenger Rates.


CHICAGO, May 17.-Passenger rates are
firmer than they have been for some time
past. The Pennsylvania, Michigan Cen
trail, Lake Shore and Chicago & Grand
Trunk roads are doing all they can to main
tain tariff rates on basis OF $3.50 to New
York. Although the Chicago & Atlantic
is not in the agreement in the same sense
that the ''short line" is, its competitors have
to admit that it is maintaining rates well
and only threatens to depart from that rule
when it finds the short line or any other
lines rates being cut through the scalpers.
1t was reported yesterday that the short
line rates were being cut through the scalp
ers from So to So, but as far as could be as
certained it was done with some tickets that
the management of this line was not re-
sponsible for, the scalpers having taken pos
session of them in some underhanded way.

Keep them Ont.
(CUlumbin Rccord.)

We notice that q number OF our State eH-
changes are offering to club with agricultural
papers published In the far oil corners OF the
Union. The plan Is 10 give the State paper
and the so-callcd agricultural journal to sub.
Scrlbers at about the price of the home paper
In our opinion this Is Il downright swIndle
For instance papers published somewhere In
The extreme Northwestern section OF the Tn.

anywhere, which Is not often tho case. They
are usually made up or the advertisements OF

culiar methods Of making fortunes or some
uther humbug, to rob the people Of their hard
earned money, and that Is really the object
OF the publications. the reading matter con
sisling chiefly of clippings rom other papers
But when a home paper endorses such pub
lications as those mentioned our citizens arc
sometimes induced to subscribe for them, and
are thus prevented from pntronizlng Il paper
of some value, and often get Swindlcd by Sc
duciivcly arranged advertisements that are
brought to their attention. Now this Is not
only Injurious to the subscriber, hui does
great injustice to the agricultural papers pub
llshed at home, by forcing them TO compete
and this probably accounts for the repeated
nilures OF agricultural papers In this State
by withdrawing from them the home support
that they otherwise would receive.
We have here In South CAROLINA the Coton
Plant, an admirable paper published Mt Mar
ion, that should be taken by all OF our farm,

show II gratifying increase II tho worthless

cannot afford, unless they adop: tho methods
OF theii fraudulent Western rivals, TO give

force them TO do, by lending their influence
and assistance in building up such ruinous
competition. Our papers should not cndeav-

Our Railroads.

The new railroad from Greenwood to Spar
tanburg is about completed. 1t is thought the
rains will to run on fast schedule
next Sunday morning. The new schedule
will make thirty miles an hour from Spartan
burg to Augusta. This magnificent new road
is the work Of the Georgia Central Railroad
which has already done much for the devcl
Opmcnt CT. our part Of the Stale, and which
intends TO do much more. The branch from
I.aurcns to GrccEville is to be completed and
run by this road, which has already given &
contract for the !ayin. of the iron-coinmenc
Ing at Laurcns Court House.
AS soon as the work on the ~Spartanburg
road is finished 1t is presumed that the whole
force of hands will be transferred TO the Sa.
rannah Valley road. when the work on thai
road will be hurried to completion from Nc
Cormicll to Anderson city. The grading OF
this road will probably be finished by the
first OF next month.
We arc glad to believe that the Columbia
and Greenvillo Railroad will abandon any
sdca Of crying TO embarrass the Augusta and
Knoxville road by any law suit us to right OF
way. The result Of any trial by any jury OF
Nbbev!llc men certainly would not sustain
the Columbia and Grccnville o in any eff
tho new road. There Is q public demand for
the road, which no jury Of this county would
disregard.
