Several years ago 81 lodge of that
noble order, the Gond Tenplars. was
In operation in our town, but by
degrees the membership dwindled
away until only a faithful few re-
manned. Those few went to the
place ofmeeting regularly aud held
a session of the lodge until two OF
three of the members left town and
not enough remained to constitute a
quorum. While the lodge was in
operation great deal of good was
done. and in its hall was originated
the idea of st curing local option for
our grand county Why not start a
new lodge of Good Templars? ? Tnese
are great many persons who would
join the lodge. One evening in each
week of enjoyment and pleaAlra
could be spent very profitably.

NEW YoRK, Dec. 0--The Sl0l prints q

We sold ST, 100, 600 collateral trust bonds
issued against the Oregon Railway A
Navigation stock, and could at one time
have sold all the 81, 900, 600, butthought
II worth much more, so that on account
the Oregon Railway a. Navigation stock
purchase we now have 81, O00, 900 bonds
uns0ld We have besides o.. 600, 600 Or
egon Railway a Navigation bonds
for construction advances, and there
has been invested In the Portland
a Puget sound road $500, 900. and
new equipments 81 400. 600. for which
bonds have not been sold. We have also
put large amount Of money Into side
tracks, new shops 1T Cheyenne and Den

freight depot at Omaha. as well as other
improvements. MIR. Gould knew about
the floating debt when he entered the
directory and he has discovered nothing
new about it. He agreed 20 take care OF
II. and has provided for the Jan. re-
auirements. which are less than g. .000.-
