ANXIOUS AT BOTH ENDS.
Resolutions Adopted mt Salt LAX
REGARDING the Railroad.

Resolutions Adopted mt Salt Lake
Regarding the Railroad.
1t is evident that the citizens soi
Salt Lake are as anxious to have the rail
road built between that city and Los
Angeles as those at this end, for the fol.
lowing resolutions have just been adopted
by the Chamber of Commerce of the
Mormon city:
WHEREAS, 1t must be apparent to every
thoughtful citizen familiar with the situation,
that u railroad from this place to Los Angeles,
California would not only be very profitable
enterprise for It's stockholders and owners, but
would give to this city such an impetus that
nothing conld prevent its being the metropolis
of the entire inter-mountain region, and the
great distributing point west of the Missouri
river; and
WHEREAS, Every good thing of public
nature has to be inaugurated and set in motion,
as a rule, by the real estate men and real estate
interests; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That com mittee of five members
of this association be appointed to investigate
the feasibility of constructing railroad from
this point to Los Angeles, and ascertain the
feelings of tn 3 capitalists and business men of
this city on the subject, and recommend to
this association such action as they may deem
best to be taken to carry into effect the object
of this resolution.

A SERIOUS BLUNDER.
a Lady Nearly Frustrated by Patent
Medicine.

A lady well-known in the Western Addition
has been great sufferer for years with indiges-
ton and dyspepsia. Struck with the testimo-
malls praising joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, she
sent for bottle. The druggist, not having it.
talked them into taking another sarsaparilla.
AS the leading sarsaparillas use mineral blood
purifiers, the effect of the emptying of iodide
of potash into a stomach already distressingly
delicate was disastrous, almost prostrating her
before the mistake was rectifed. She then
called upon Mrs. Fowler, of 327 Ellis street.
whose name was among those cured by Joy s
Vegetable Sarsaparila. Mrs Fowler said it was
true that it had cured her. Again reassured,
the vegetable compound was sent for and
gotten. The gentle action of its vegetable
stimulants upon the liver. kidneys and diges-
five organs, and its warm stomach tonics, were
the very things needed, and she began improv-
inc and was her old self within fortnight

4 FATHERS SEARCH.
His 17-Year-Old Boy Sailed for England on
the "0ttersp0Ol.'

Occasionally one meets with a
young hopeful who imagines that he
possesses the ability to renovate the
universe. and that the keynote to all
such operations is sea voyage To
this accomplishment score or so of
very, very rank dime novels is always
necessary. Such a young man, with
such ideas was in this city only a few
months ago, and the way in which he
operated may be learned in the fol-
lowing lines:
In the early part of last January,
says the Telegram, a gentleman
named n. w. Leonard came to this
city from Chicago, and after stopping
here some little time went to Salem
where he was engaged as tutor in the
public schools. Mr.. Leonard was for
merly state superintendent of public
instruction for Iowa, and while here
made great many friends, to whom
he often spoke of his 17-year-old son,
who was then in the east at college
About the latter part of the following
April, the young man came to this
city, having just graduated, but owing
to some misunderstanding he failed to
find his father and becoming disheart-
ened at not finding suitable employ
m ent he went to Astoria and signed
articles to go before the mast as a
sailor on the British ship OtterSpoOl,
which sailed from the Columbia river
on the 18th of last May.
Soon afterward Mr.. Leonard re-
ceived letter from his wife, who was
in the east, sayiug that the son had
come to Portland, and then the father
began to hunt for the young man.
He traced him from Portland to AS
toria, and then through the assistance
of James Laidlaw, found that he had
gone to sea, bound for England.
After severing his engagement at
Salem, Mr.. Leonard started for New
York, and there took passage on the
transatlantic steamer Serbia for Liy-
erpool. He proceeded to London
derry, where the OtterSp1Oi landed
and arrived there inst two days he
fore the ship got in, October 10Th.
This morning Mr.. W. w. Thomr.on
received q letter from him, dated ;
Chicago, in which he says he found
his boy all right, but that while cross
ing the English channel the otter.
spool came near being lost in a fear
full storm. He is coming back to Or
egon with his wife and runaway son,
to make this city his permanent home
In his search for the boy the anx-
iOus parent spent all the money he
had in the world, and the mother, who
remained in Chicago, is a confirmed
invalid, having almost wrecked both
mind and body with mental anguish,
supposing her boy was dead.

Indented writing upon iron has jus
been successfully done by John Far
rar, an eastern iron foundryman, by
the following process: The impres.
sion on the iron is made by writing
backwards on thin paper, pinning the
paper in a mould, and then pouring
in the iron. The writing thus trans
ferred to the plates, when the iron is
cooled, is wonderfully clear and dis
tinct, and is so deeply imprinted as to
defy any attempt at erasure.

COUNTY COURT PROCEEDINGS.

The county court met yesterday and
granted the application of August
Harder for citizenship, and the appll-
cation of Swan Wilson fora liquor
license, he paying $500 license and
presenting the customary papers.
The report of the commissioners on
the county road from Olney to Colum-
bia county line, was read, and, on mo-
ton accepted.
Following is the report:
KNAPPA, Oct. %, 1889.
ITO the county court, ClatsOp, Ore
gon.
We have examined the road from
Olney, Clatsop county, to Vesper, the
Columbia county line. We find it in
very good condition from Olney to
Jewell. 1t was very well built. A
few places should be widened, and
some culverts be put in, and the con-
tractors have agreed to do it. When
they are put in, we would consider it
acceptable. From Jewell to Vesper we
find the road poorly laid out, especial
ly the sixth and seventh miles. The
road is in better condition than the
first part, with a few places that need
widening, which the contractors
agreed to do. We find in most all the
bridges the specification was too short.
They have built them in many places
longer than the specification called
for. We find there should have been
a specification where there was none.
For that reason the road is not what
it would have been. We would re-
commend its acceptance when a few
more changes are made.

Who Their Friends Are.

A Journal reporter in visiting the
state penitentiary, through the kind
ness of one of the officials, was given
the privilege TO talk few minutes
with one of the most trusted prisoners
who said: "Most convicts have ex-
perienced what it is to have and lose
friends-especially to lose them. Few
convicts have more than one social
correspondent, and that one is almost
always a relative or some one with
whom they have become acquainted
since their arrest and Imprisonment.
Many have no correspondence, ex-
cept on business matters, and others
neither write nor receive letters dur
ing the whole term of their imprison-
ment. What is becoming of all our
boon cOmpanions-the. men whom We
favored in the days of our prosperity,
those who were wont to declare eter-
nal gratitude to us? Where are those
persons who asked us to call upon
them should we ever be in trouble and
need a friend? Once in a while one
of them nobly responds to an appeal
for help, but more are dumb as the
dead to an appeal for even friendly
letter. Few of us can consistently
complain of such cold treatment, for
it is In accord with our treatment of
others. We are no better nor worse
On the whole than our chosen COM
panions; they are treating us as we
would treat them were our circum-
stances reversed. But now comes the
question of who of those we considered
our friends in the past, have contin-
ued faithful in our trouble and i'm
prisonment? Not our old associates
in crime nor those upon whom we
lavished our well or ill-gotten money;
not those whose favors we strove to
win; but the mothers, sisters, wives
fathers, brothers, and honest friends
who advised us against our evil ways
and whom we ignored and neglected
1t is these who have stood nearest tC
us in our troubles, visited US in prison
and written cheering, hopeful letters
