THE OREGON DEMOCRACY.
1t Has Undoubtedly Lost Adherents
During the Past Two Years.

Oregonian.I
The Democratic paper Of Eugene
City denies that "wool did it for
Lane county" 1t says that the
heaviest Republican gains were made
in precincts where there are but few
wool-growers. Attribute it, continu, s
tina: paper, "to the Kansas, Iowa,
and Nebraska cyclone of immigra-
ton, and you will be more nearly
correct" If this is so there is
gloomy outlook for the Democratic
party in Lane county for future cleo
tions, and the recent result becomes
for that party "portentious of the
climate that it points upon" Two
years ago Lane county voted thus:
Hermann 1856, Butler 1897, Miller
10Y; total, $3.50. The vote now is:
Hermann 1894, Gearin 1855, Miller
81; total 1913. The Republican vote
increased $50, and the Democratic
fell off AZ. In many localities
throughout the State there is no in-
crease of the Democratic vote over
that of two years ago, and in several
counties it is positively less. On the
whole. we think Gearin's vote in the
State will exceed by very little the
vote for Butler two years ago, and
may not quite equal it.

RATHER MATTER.OF.FACT.
George Warren's Experience at Gim.
let Yesterday.

George Warren, of the Ketchum
stage line, says that the Cornishmen
who had such a narrow escape from
drowning in Wood River, yesterday,
were somewhat unapprecia:ive. When,
III response to the appeal of the driver
OF the upturncd wagon, himself, Sid.
Venable, and another man rushed to
the river, pulled out the horses and
wagon, and began looking for the
men, the driver could not be seen.
Mr.. Warren and his companions re-
sumed their seats in the Ketchum
stage, aud went on to Gimlet, where
they found the four Cornish,nen on
the bridge watching the river, to see
if their companion would not float
past. Mr.. Warren said: "Well, bows,
you had a narrow escape-didn't you?
DO you think that there is no show
for Richard to have esoaped?"
They answered that they did not
know; and didn't as much as thank
the gentlemen who had waded out
in the water up to their backs to help
their 'eam out, and, possibly, save
one or more Of themselves.
After minute or so Mr.. Warren.
whose clothes were dripping, asked all
hands to take drink, and the court
esy cost him six bits.
The Cornish boys walked to ket-
chum on the railway track.

New HALEY Machinery for Montana.

New HALEY Machinery for Montana.
Coffin & Co., of this city, are now
selling mining and mill machinery
even in Montana. To-day, for in
stance, they shipped from HALEY a
complete hosting plant of forty horse
power to the great Bluebird Mining
Company, of Butte, Montana.
1t is evident that, in time, the Men
tanians will come to Wood River
for many things which they now send
to Salt Lake, Denver, and elsewhere.
With a railway connecting US with
Helena and Butte, it would indeed be
better for the Montana mines along
the line of that road to procure all
their supplies here, and thus afford
return loads for the ore cars.

BAYHOKSE.
This Camp More Prosperous than Ever
Daily Bullion Output,


Daily Bullion Output.
c. E. Taylor came in to day from
Bay He reports tho mines,
furnaces, concentrating works and
mills in full blast. Over $50 men are
at work in the mines, and more are
put on every day. Probably 40 or SO
additional could get work, but they
must be strictly first class miners.
Some rs men are employed at the
furnaces, besides 10 at the concen-
traitor. and as many more at the mill,
which has 10 Frue vanners.
The smelling works produce about
four tons of bullion per day, worth
about $3.50. The Ramshorn mine
yields about 80 tons of dry ores car.
rying from 80 to 1900 ounces per ton
daily, and the Beardsley about 60 tons
per day. The yield could easily be
doubled, if the works could turn it
into bullion; but they cannot. Be-
sides, there is much trouble in getting
it out of the country. Several car
loads of bullion are stacked up at the
works, which teams left Ketchum this
morning to bring to the railroad.
Altogether, Mr.. Taylor says, the
camp is much more prosperous than
it has ever been.

Iowa Commissioner Epjoined.

LEAvESwoRTH, Kan, July 26.-A5out three
weeks ago the Northwestern Railroad Company
applied to Judge Brewer, Of the Eighth Circnit,
for an INTUITION to restrain the railroad COM
missioners Of Iowa from enforcing q schedule Of
transportation rates which il had made under the
authority Of the Legislature, on the grounds
shat the rates were so low that they would bank
rups the road and that the Legislature
cannot delegate its power. A tenn
porary injunction was granted and
an explanatory hearing was had in this
city to-day. Judge Brsver has made a decision
which continues the temporary injunction In
discussing the matter he considers three ques-
sions. namely: the legality OF a suit against the
commissioners; the right Of q Legislature to
delegate power TO make q schedule, and the
right of the State TO fix railroad tariffs He de-
cides that an action on such a case as this Is not
strictly an action against the State and cannot be
maintained. Secondly, he thinks that the State
may delegate such power to railroad commits
eioners; st least. State courts have held that the
delegation OF such power is constitutional Third

to tx railroad rates, it must make them reason

the sixth class The railroad. claimed that a

should be passed to-day.
