Yesterday evening Mimic Bros
Of this city, received a telegram
from Corvallis bearing the in,elli-
gence that Frank Smith, the Salem
barber, had been drowned in the
Willamette and his body found
seven miles below Corvallis. The

WORK on THE OREGON PACIFIC.
An lnYOice Of Fresh and Breezy Notes
From the Railroad Front.

From a party who has just re-
turned from the o. P. front on the
Santiam the JOURNAL gathers the
following items of news:
Messrs Myers & Company have
employed on their contract, above
Brightenbush fork of the Santiam,
about three hundred men and are
pushing the work with all the energy
at their command. There are daily
large numbers Of recruits joining
their forces, and although some oc-
casionally quit they expect to soon
have five or six hundred names on
their pay rolls. Henness Brothers
are supplying the camp, and now
employ some fifty packs for that
purpose.
The parties in charge of the work
from Don Smiths TO Brightenbush
are also crowding their work and
are adding new camps almost daily;
some five hundred men are reported
on this division.
The gap between Smiths and the
end of the track is being Ie-dressed
and graded up where skipped before
and put in order FOR the ties.
The bridge carpenters are getting
along finely with their work and
now think they can keepin advance
of the track layers.
New iron was laid yesterday and
it is expected to keep right along
until Don Smiths is reached, where
turn table is being constructed and
breathing spell will be taken.
There is a vast amount of rock
work along the line above Smiths
and the progress will not be as fast
as it was below that po.nt.
The piles are nearly all driven on
the division below Smiths and
thousands Of ties are delivered along
the line of the track.
The bridge across the Santiam at
Mills City is progressing finely.
The two west piers are in and the
st y cords and temporary work is
all in place, while good working
crew are rapidly pushing the work
along.
Several new saw mills Will be
erected in various places along the
line to furnish the necessary timber
for construction. The mill of
Simms & Co. at Mills City is eS-
pected to start up Monday. The
machinery is nearly al in place and
the force at work on the race expect
to have it finished by Saturday
night.
The logging contractors were to
commence operations to-day and by
the fist of next month. Times viii
be lively thereabouts.
There appears to be a scarcity of
blacksmiths along the line of the
road as the disciples Of vulcan We're
enquired after at nearly every
camp.
The health of the employees ap-
pears TO be splendid, as not a case of
sickness was seen or heard Of along
the entire line.

A Disgrace 10 Tho Slate.

A correspondent from Silverton
finds great fault with the Oregonian
railway company and thinks it
should be abated as a nuisance.
He says the road is in a dangerously
loose condition, ties rotted out,
rails twisted and ballast minus.
Hesuggests as aremedy that the citi-
zens call public meeting and
compel the road to come to time or
shut up.

The Oregon Land Company's ten
acre lotsar selling rapidly,4O having
been sold since the Sth of Sept. There
is no probability that 10 acres of
good land within four miles ofSalem
will ever again be offered for $50 per
acre on easy terms. There are now
five houses in process Ofconstruction
on lots already sold and roads are
being opened and bridges built so
that the value of all of the lots Is
being rapidly enhanced. Any one
wishing to buy ten acres of good
land for much less than the r'ice OF
a city lot will do well to look at this
property at once as there is nodoubt
but that it will all be sold inside OF
thirty days. Call at the office OF the
Oregon Land company on Com
mercial street and you will be shown
the property free Of charge.

CAMPAIGN COMMENTS.

THE largest political small potato in
the cou try to-day Is one Benjamin
Harrison, of 1ndiara. Buffalo Times
IT is putting it mildly to say that the
Republican party is in hole. It is In
fifty-foot ell, with The Windlass gone
and the bucket az the bottom Atlanta
Constitution.
GALLAGHER Harrison has let his letter
go, too, but he WASH aiming at any
thing In particular. and he seems TO
have hit what ne aimed at-Phila-
delphia Times.

the Senators ut Washington.
dslphia Record.
The report so industriously spread
abroad that President Cleveland had
become alarm ed at the free ade spook
and that his letter would seek to change
issue, does not seem to have material
lied. His flag is still there Boston
Herald.
The Democrats of the House are
patiently awaiting the attempt OF the
Republican Senators to agree on tariff
bill. a monkey and a parrot time Is
anticipated when the attempt is made.

THE Brooklyn Eagle says of Presi-
dent Cleveland's last effort that sit is q
letter wort y of the maa of Washing
tonian character, Jetfersopian princi-
pies. Jacksonian courage anu Lincoln :
ian greatness who wrote it."
NOTHING is clearer than that the
Democratic party favors marked re-
duction of the tariff. Neither is there
anything palmer than that the Repub-
iicans of Minnesota have Joined the
Democratic party on this point And
the votes will SHOW it this fall, too
st. Paul NelOS.
LET everybody remember that the
tariff taxes are not taxes upon the rich
mans property, but upon the poor
mans earnings; not taxes upon foreign
goods, but upon American labor. This
want them continued, aud it is the rea-
son also why tn y ought to be reduced.
Boston Globe.
THE campaign which Mr.. Blaine is
now arranging is practit al confession
On Inc part or tha6 aStuGe politician
that the platform, views. and indeas of
the party, as enunciated by all previous
conventions, cannot win success. The
only hope of the Repu hlicans is to con.
cecil their true views, to commit them
selves to nothing, and to become a mere
opposition party.-NeW Orleans Times
Democrat.
A Mr.. Harrison has been saying in
certain stump speeches that the tariff
can't be much of burden because the
people don't know when they paw il.
According to that same kind of logic. a
poor man will not feel the loss of $40
provided he does not know when the
pickpocket stole it. By the way, we
hear great deal about Mr.. Blaine in
Republican circles, but no one ever
mentions this Mr.. Harrison. Who Is
harrison, anyhow?

"IxiOn" on Protection.

A man asks me if l have heard the
news. what news?' l ask. Why We
are going to be protected from foreien
imt ortation and pauper labor. the
Republican party is going to protect
the laboripg classes of America by put
ting on an excessive tariff so az to shut
out goods manufactured in foreign
countries, which will enable the laoor-
ing classes to become rich" oh. yes l
have heard that and more. I have
heard that the Republican party is in
avor OF protection in order that the
pric, of goods may rise, ald the laborer
get less wages, which, of course, will
enable the l&bcrer to meet the advance
price of goods. It's funny, very funny.
L takes statesmen to run the business.
and TO grind out political dirt so that
people may see more clearly"
TIE course being pursued By the Re
publican party and political soreheads
reminds one OF the time that an ancient
Repu blican entered the garden of Eden
and induced two Americans to rebel
against constitutional freedom and
their best interest. They were deceived
| by the phllanthropic protectlonist, who
left them to get their bread by the
sweat OF their brow, whilst he reyeled
in luxury and aristocratic vices. The
present race of Americans had better
DE careful and not follow The influence
Of those who cry protection for the
people from behind a screen. The
demon of protection is whisperir G into
tbs ears of the people: BE mine and
be rich" The angel of liberty AM love
is whispering: BE mine I'd be
happy Americans may eat Of the
tire, OF liberty, but beware of the tree OF
protection. Protection is royalty IL
disguise, and who can tell what pro-
Jecflon means so we'll as the Irish
nation. LYON.
