The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1886-04-21

work saving, the Irishman having
hired him for fifty cents, clearing
ten cents a cord by the operation.
The bank president says it has
cured his sympathy for the anti
Chinese league.
Last Wednesday Mayor Gates,
Of Portland, called a meeting of
the Citizens Committee for two
o'clock at the Court House. On
their arrival, they found that the
Court House had been crowded
from one o'clock by the Anti-Coo-
lie League, which was out in full
force, and every motion made for
the protection of the Chinese, was
hooted and voted down; in fact,
they had packed the hall, and it
reminded one of a Democratic or
Republican convention in the
East. 1t was found necessary to
adjourn the meeting without ac-
complishing anything, and the
mayor has had to call a secret
meeting, In talking with the bet
ter class, and law-abiding part Of
the community, they all seem to
be of one opinion: "That, while
the Chinese are here and the
present treaty with China exists,
they should be given every pro-
lection; the only remedy is for the
government to change the treaty
and limit the emigration of Chi
nese to this country"
Portland is prosperous, we'll
built city, many of the buildings
comparing favorably with build
ings in Chicago or Cincinnati, and
the residence part shows every
sign of culture and refinement,
many of the residences being in
the latest styles of architecture.
Here we see the wreck of Wizards
prosperity in an unfinished hotel,
which covers block, and has been
in its present condition, one story of
stone uncovered, ever since his
failure. 1t cost 1925, 900 to build
this much of it.
Across the Willamette river is
the town of Albina, another wreck
of Wizards, where he built large
railroad shops, which have never
been used; he intended, in his
words, to make it the "Chicago of
the North West"
Several lines Of railroad are to
be built in Oregon and Washing
ton Territory this summer. One
of them, the Spokane and Pal
ouse" railroad company, has for
its chief engineer Mr., Paul +.
Mohr, well-known resident of
Cincinnati.
The legal fraternity Of Port
land are mourning the loss of one
of their leading spirits. BY the
death of NJ. W, Fehheimer, Esq,
net only the bar, but in fact the
whole community, lose a man
who, by his upright, honorable
life, has endeared himself to all,
and whose memory will be ever
fresh in the minds of the citizens
of Portland. A few weeks ago
the first symptoms of the dread
disease, cancer of the stomach,
made their appearance, and after
consultation with physicians here,
he went to New York. There he
was told nothing could be done,
He left Immediately for home,
where a few days after his arrival,
he quietly passed away. Mr..
Fehheimer was in the prime of
life, having been born in Cincin-
natl forty-two years ago. He
leaves an estate valued at 100000
to his wife and children.
Wages are higher in the West,
and one sees very few idle in COM
parison to the population. Liv-
ing is higher, rents being especial
ly so. To go along the streets, one
would suppose, by the displays in
the windows, thatyou were in some
large, Eastern city. In all lines
they seem to have everything that
is seen anywhere. Prices on dry
goods, etc., are, of course, higher
on account of the freight here; but
meat, vegetables, etc., are lower,
so that, with higher wages, it makes
about the same average as the
East.
What Oregon and Washington
Territory want, is a class of good,
thrifty farmers; and for them
the old saying of "young man, go
West" is, in the present condition
of this country, a very good one.
There is only one thing that you
know nothing of, that is good cup
of tea. Until you visit a "Chinese
restaurant" you will never know
any more of it than did your
ANTI-AaITAToR.
Will-o'-the-Wisps.
