A New York dispatch of d recent
date SAYS: Much interest is manifested
in the report that Willard will once
more assume prominent position in
the management of the affairs of the
Northern Pacific. That the Rock Is
land is about to obtain control Of the
Northern Pacific is generally believed
railroad circles 1t is known that New
York capitalists largely interested in
Rock Island have lately secured large
amounts of stock in the Northern Pa
cifc and Oregon Transcontinental COM
panies. 1t is stated that Vanderbilt
has been hobnobbing with the Wright
party to secure an interest in the
Northern Pacific for the benefit of tie
Northwestern. The Rock Island pee
pie have managed to join hands with
the Willard and Billings parties, who
have been strongly opposed to the
Wright management. The annual
meeting of the Northern Pacific Will lie
held in September, and it is generally
believed that there will be- complete
change in the management. 1t is stat
ed that the condition upon which the
Rock Island secuued the cooperation
of the Willard and Billings interests is
that Mr.. Henry Willard is to be presi,
dent of the road. Mr.. Wizards mission
abroad is said to have been to secure
the proxies of the German stockholders
and he is now, en- route home, and to-
gether with Mr. Billings and the Rock
Islanl people, he expects to be able te
put himself again at the head.

a Mormon mourn for the death of a
Gentile2 We are always happy to hear
of the death of Gentile-provided it
be not one who buys carrots from us.
Such death as that hurts our pockets,
consequently affects our hearts. To see
the heavenly smiles our village people
wore that da, one would be led to sup
pose they belonged to The Millerites
and were waiting for the second COM
ing"
Such matter as this needs no CON-
ment, but, like the haif-masting of the
flag on the fourth of July, it shows the
venomous hatred Of everything national
which these people are ready to exhibit
on every occasion.-S. T. Chronicle.

Temperance people often claim that
the average newspaper does not give
their meetings, platform, work, ETC.,
the attention they deserve as news Of
the day. And it must be confessed
thai there does seem to be a neglect In
this direction. We will undertake to
explain why this is so, and we teel that
we can Justify the press. At the late
temperance conference in this city there
were about two hundred delegates in
attendance. The session lasted two
days and the journal" devoted about
five columns of carefully prepared mat
ter to the report of the doings. The
list of the delegates, resolutions, mo-
tions, discussions and all were re
produced so carefully that they might
serve for the official record. The ex-
pense to the journal" over and
above the cost of the ordinary run
| OF matter to the same amOunC. was pFT-
haps $40. These 200 delegates, it WAS
not unreasonable to expect, would buy
some papers, and 200 extla sheets were
printed to meet the demand. Just ten
papers were sold. A careful analysis
of this little circumstance will fully en-
tighten the brethren as to the luke
warmness os the press. A half column
would have conveyed to the average
reader al he wanted to know about the
conference, and all the balance was alb
solute waste. We trust the temper
ance brethren will take tumble to
the spirit of the times and come right
along up to the front and join the chill
dren of light. If they can't do that,
let us have no more blind kicking

The desire among our people to have
extended to Corvallis the express train
on the West side road, which runs from
Portland to McMinnville in the even
ing and returns to the metropolis in the
morning, is subject which has been
discussed quite thoroughly, frequently
and with much unanimity of ideas upon
the subject. The east side have long
since had extended to them these con-
veniences, and the westside is justly eni-
tied to no less consideration. Our peo-
ple are unanimous in their desire for
this much needed change to take place
at an early day. The railroad company
can certainly we'll afford to make the
extension, because they would incur no
additional outlay, except the wood
which it would require to run the same
evening train from McMinnville to Cor
Wallis in the evening and return in the
morning, and the additional cost of
wear and tear of rolling stock. The
same trains and the same employees,
with no additional expense for them,
would run the trains to Corvallis and
return. The accommodations, un-
der this new condition, would be so
agreeable to our people that it certainly
would create large increased travel
over the road. Under the present sit
uatien, person going from here to
Portland on the west side, who desires
to transact two hours business in the
metropolis, is required to devote one
day to 90 to Portland, who finds that
the train arrives too late to do any bus
mess on that day; he therefore remains
over full day to transact his two or
three hours business, and on the third
day the whole time is consumed in re-
turning home. 1t is true that this is
some improvement over the old fash
ioped way, when people had to go to
Portland with their OK teams. What
an agreeable change our people could
realize if the express train was extend
{ ed as above stated. In the morning
one of our enterprising business men
could jump aboard the the cars at foul
, or five o'clock, reach Portland at nine
O'Clock; by this means he could remain
in Portland during all the business

So far as ascertained, Governor
Moody, has kept his own counsel very
closely, in regard to whether, he would
call an extra session of the legislature,
or whether he would dispense, with
reassembling that body, and appoint a
United States senator, and let other
important matters of legislation, go un-
considered, until the next regular ses-
sion. Reasoning from probabilities at
this late day, one can not help being
forced to the conclusion, that an extra
session will be called at some time in
the near future; because had the gov
ernor determined to appoint, it seems
more than probable, that he would
have made such appointment before
this, in order TO give the appolntee
reasonable notice and time for prepara-
ton before the next session of congress.
This matter having been delayed thus
far,i would seem at this time almost ce =
tain thatthe legislat ature will be convened
this fall. As there has been no indi-
cations to that effect from the governor,
so far as any expression of his is con-
cerned, the question is certainly an un'
settled one, SO far as the public is con-
cerned, and until he makes some an,
nouncement of his intention it must
remain so.

Between the opportunities and die
tatsl ial attitude of the mugwumps to-
ward president Cleveland, and the ex-
acting disposition of his bourbon fol-
lowers, who exact of him to make rapid
distribution of the official patronage,
the president very evidently, is becom
ing largely disgusted with the contend
ing ard conflicting elements which
placed him in his present position. In
order to get the support eff mugwumps,
during the presidential campaign, he
was compelled to bargain away his in
dependence and the very soul of his
present position, to satisfy the mug
wumps and secure their support, which
bargain was so in conflict with the
ideas of the large majority of his
straight democratic followers, that the
bargain of Cleveland with the mug
wumps alsocompromised the main inter-
est and chance which straightout dem
ocrats had in the new democratic ad-
ministration. President Cleveland has
long since experienced the difficulty to
please, at the same time and by the
same act, two contending political ele-
ments who are directly opposed to each
other in ideas and purposes. The ma
jority of democrats derhand the offices
because they are democrats, and that
the election of a democratic president,
meant change in the smaller offices,
from republicans to democratic incum-
bents; while on the other hand his
mugwump brethren contend that he
should not remove the appointlve otfl-
GERS for political reasons, nor make ap-
pointments for such reasons, but that
removals, should only be made, fol
cause shown, and appointments should
only be made, of either republicans o,
democrats upon competitive examina
tions, and the one shown by such ex
animation, to be the bestqualifed forstht
uosition. should receive the appoint
ment. While these contending fact
t;ons and followers of the President
are endeavoring to dictate his officia
action, the president is sitting astrid'
of the situation, fearing to jump eithe
,v.v and at the same time endeavorin;
to please both elements. 1t is only
question of time, when the preslden
will be compelled, to take one horn o
the dilema, and discard the other, be
cause it is an utter impossibility t.
please two opposing elements, and tn
longer he tries to please both, the Tar
ther he will be from pleasing either one

A CHINOOK

How This Warm Spring Wind is Melt
Ing the Snow Hon. /. W. CARROTS
Experience with . Chinook How .
Snow.B0und Train vas Released By
One.
The warm chinook wind which
made itself felt yesterday afternoon
and to-day, has caused much Of the
snow to melt and so honey.combed
what remains that one days rain
would cause it to entirely disappear.
Chinook wind is something unknown
on Wood River, the oldest inhabitants
loudly asserting that this is the FIRST
year in which it has te.n felt here ;
but it is not uncommon IN Western
Idaho and in Washington Territory,
and its action is SO rapid as to be
almost visible.
Deputy County Recorder Garrett,
whose reliability will not be ques-
toned, relates an experience OF his
which forcibly illustrates this. About
six years ago he had occasion to "a
from Walla WaIla to a ranch 20 miles
out. There being over five feet Of
snow on the ground, he hired cutter.
As he left Walla Walla a chinook
wind sprang up, which melted the
snow as rapidly as butter does in hot
oven. The roads were soon filled with
running streams of water, and when
he got to Dry creek-niue miles out
he unhitched his horses, got them on
high land, then borrowing a pair OF
oars he reached his destination by
using his cutter for boat.
That veracious chronic'er, Mark
Twain, also tells of chinook wind re-
lieving a railway train snowbound in
one of the deep canyons of the Sierra
! Nevada. The passengers, hungry,
weary and despairing of succor
punched up the third night in their
snow prisons, half-expecting to die
before morning. About midnight a
chinook arose, and by morning the
passengers awoke to find the train
floating down the American river at q
frightful rate. 1t was only with great
difficulty, and by making hawsers Of
the shawls and outer garments of the
passengers. that the train was finally
halted in its "wild career"

An Incident Of Tragic Interest 10 the
Travelling Public.

AENiCI1uS EuUIICs
1t becomes our painful duty to
chronicle the death of our esteemed
fellow citizen, Mr. Thomas Collins,
who met his death at Shoshone ON the
evening of December 20, 1884, under
the most distressing circumstances.
We take this opportunity to give ex-
preston to our feelings in regard to
the cold-blooded and heartless man.
ner of his sudden taking Oft. We
quote from an interesting letter from
our special correspondent at Shoshone
the following facts in relation to this
sad affair, to.wit:
On the arrival of the train from
Wood River, which, by the way, ar
rives in Shoshone after dark, Mr.. Col
Inns was accosted on the depot plat
form by two well.dressed and SEEM
ingly respectable young men, and at
their urgent solicitation Mr.. Collins
permitted himself to be steered off into
the country, under the impression that
his new-found friends were taking
him to a hotel. Arrived at the home
of these young men from the country,
Mr. Collins was invited to partakc of
|
a repast which these designing per-
sons were pleased to call a meal.
Poor Collins, in the guileless limo.
cence of his nature, accepted of the
invitation, sat down to the festive
board, as he thought, to eat. But
alas! only to be found half all hour
later, dead at the table. This un.
looked-for and sudden ending OF so
promising life caused the most IN.
tense excitement at Shoshone. The
Coroner being notified Immediately
proceeded to hold an inquest, and the
startling evidence in the case devel.
oped the cruel fact that Mr.. Collins
had starved to death. Upon what
fragile thread our lives depend! Had
Mr.. Collins followed the example Of
the Intelligent and wide-awake Wood
Riverites who nightly throng the
Oyster Bay Restaurant for 3 Chicken
Supper, with Fresh Oysters, at the re.
markable price of Fifty Cents, instead
Of wandering through snow and wind
down dark alleys and side streets, fal
out into the country to view 4 cara.
vsnsary of curiosities.
| We repeat, had Mr.. Collins fol.
lowed his Wood River friends to the
Oyster Bay, directly opposite and only
minutes walk from the depot Al
Shoshone. the chances are very strong
that we would not be called upon t.
tell his sorrowing friends that kind
genial, whase.souled Tom had starvet
to death.

being the oyster season the ladies will
be delighted to have you call and tax.
