sary that the permanent location Of

the only way that a satisfactory con-

voice Of the people decide. Before
this Jury wo are willing to submit

The silent ballot Is a power that
makes itsolf felt whenever called
upon 10 arbltrate in questions OF this
kind, and u cannot be driven nor
subverted by force. ,1ntelligent men
will look upon this question before
them calmly and act as they may

The Baldwin, Grismer, Davies Com
pany in ''The Wages Of Sim"
On next Tuesday evening a dra-
matte treat will be offered our citl-
zens by the appearance Of the well
known favOrites, Joseph II. Grlsmer
and Phoebe Davies, supported by
the powerful Baldwin theatre COM
pany Of San Francisco, when will be
presented for the first time In thi,
city "rhe Wages OF Sln," the latest
great melodrama by Frank Harvey,
which has been one Of the greatest
successes OF all eastern melOdramas,
having scored Immense runs in Eng
land and America. The company is
one Of the strongest organizations
travelling rand have been meeting with
great success In California, Utah and
Montana and are highly endorsed by
both press and public. The sale OF
reserved seats is now commenced at
Hayward's cigar store and we would
advise all to get their seats secured
al once and thus avoid the rush at
the door. The San Francisco EnaBl-
iler says as follows:
The new melOdrama, 'The Wages
OF Sin," has caught the town, and
the Baldwin theatre is filed nightly
by brilliant and enthusiastic
audiences. It is beyond question,
the most powerful work Of the kind
presented in this city in years. The
sad, strong scenes are deftly relieved
by clever comedy, and the startling
effects Of the thrilling situations and
climaxes are in marked contrast to
the sparkling efferveseenee Of those
In which pleasanter phases Of life
and character are represented. The
feelings Of the audience are so
wrought upon by this scenes, that
outbursts Of applause arc frequent
and lOng-continued.

Last winter the most enjoyable
social events that took place In our
city were the regular fOrtnightly
balls given by The masonic lodge OF
this plnee IN the hall Of the order.
They were not only well attended
but all cOnstralnt and formality
among the members were laid aside
and each dance was a repetition Of
of the other In the shape Of pleasure.
Occasionally one outside the pale Of
mystic can manage to get In at the
balls, and II he never regretted be-
fore his misfortune in not being en-
rolled with those Of the square and
compass he mos: assuredly did after
participating In one Of these dances.
The masOns viii commence the win

and they will be continued right

families are cordially invited to take

Murray SUM-
For some time rumOrs have been
ailOat In this camp and along the
railroad that the Northern Pacific
company contemplated a new and
more practicable line from MissOuln,
Montana, to Spokane Falls, W. T.,
and we believe certain movements
Of the company are shaping events
to give substance to the reports. 1t
Is quite generally suspected that the
route along Clark's Fork and over
a portion Of lake Pend dOreille is
not a very desirable one, being dan.
gerOus and expensive at all seasons,
and something like hundred miles
longer than a road would be from
MissOula along the old Mullan road
to Niger prairie; thence down the
South Fork to point near Kingston,
and, from thence TO Rockford or
Earmington, w. T., and Spokane
Fails, running through the heart Of
Shoshone county and the richest
gold and silver bearing region. on
the continent The surveyors Of the
company are now reported to be on
the South Fork, ascertaining
whether the route is feasible one.
There can be no doubt that some
thing Of this kind is contemplated
by the company, as our western
neighbors at Rockford and Farming
ton are full Of railroad talk. The
season, however, is too late for any
work this year. Hence, nothing
more than preliminary survey can
be made. Experienced railroad
men, who have been over the pro-
posed line, state, from casual obser-
walton, that 1t is quite practicable,
and will lessen the Northern Paciflc's
time between Portland and st. Paul
five hours.

UP to last Monday there was not a
paper at Portland to lift up Its voice
against the brutal, disgusting and
degrading prize fight We cannot
abuse and lower the name by calling
II a sport" For several months
Portland has been insane over prize
fights and prize Aghters, and it has
80 Overshadowed oil other topics that
Il has been the chief subject Of dis
cussion among all classes. Muscle
has been at a premium, and the man
who could brutallze himself by
knocking the nose of his fellow man,
or come up smiling when the same
rude surgical operation was per-
formed upon his own physiognomy
by a harder hitter or more scien-
tifie brute, was a petted paragon
among a wide circle Of adtniTing
friends. The London and Marquis
Of Queensbury rules regulating the
performance Of the inhuman princl-
pals when face to face in the ring,
were household words, and the ex-
presslye language that is considered
necessary by the wideawake reporter
In giving vivacity to his description
Of the harbarOus contest could be
heard whenever two men began a
conversation. The town had a
favorite. He was thought to be in
vlncible. He was looked upon as the
man to supercede Sullivan as the
king Of all thumpers. The idol is
shattered, and the press Is awaken
ing to the fact that the prize ring Is
neither a refined sport, nor has 1t a
tendency to elevate the human race.
We are glad to see this disposition
manifest Itself and hope the people
Of Portland may be weaned from the
unnatural taste that came upon them
suddenly, and grew on that 1t fed
upon. There Is one thing in this
connection to which especial atten-
tion should be called. Taking ad-
vantage OF the proximity Of Wash
ington territory, aud prevented from
disgncing the soil Of Oregon with
these shameful exhibitions by good
and wholesome law prohibiting prize
fighting, the principals and their no
les guilty and brutaiized abettors,
encouraeers and admirers rendez-
vous at some point in this territory
and there are permitted to pummel
each other to their bearvs content,
the more savage the pummel the
more intense the satisfaction to the
audience without fear Of interference
or legal punishment, that all this
class stand In holy dread and fear Of
The next session Of our legislature
should see the enactment Of q law,
rigid in Its character and providing
the most severe penalties for engag-
ing, abbetting or witnessing such
contests.

In our issue Of Monday, with our
usual hard luck, we were induced to
suggest to republicans the advisa-
bility Of steaming up In case New
York should follow In the footsteps
Of Ohio and give a republican ma
lority. And we were really idlotlc
enough to encourage the idea at the
time that the boys would have an
opportunity to look cheerful and
strain their laws yelling In response
to the farming eloquenee Of some en-
thusiastis speaker. Il is needless TO
say that there Is no occasion for an
Indulgence Of the kind, and New
York does not stand as high in the
estimation of the wistful republican
as II did a few days agO.
