THE AMERICAN 3. I'll. A.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean, of the 18th
inst, published the following concern
ing the American Building and Loan
Association, of Minneapolis, which
will prove interesting to many Corvallis
members of the associations:
"The report published in your col
iiumns last week headed Forced Out of
Business referring to the American
Building and Loan Association of Min
Ineapolis, is ERRONEOUS The item was
taken from the report of the state bank
examiner. The examiner states that
Sin his opinion it is expedient to wind
up the association, giving as reason
that the amoant of money used for ex-
penses exceeds the net earnings by
about 6 per cent. At the same time
he states in subsequent report to a
commercial agency that the money
was used lawfully and that there was
no irregularity found on the part of
the management. This same COM
mercial agency reports that the attorney
general has the matter under advise
ment and that he is not compelled to
appoint a receiver unless he is justified
in dong SO, and if he finds that the
association is insolvent. The report
further says: 'We do not learn that
the Association has not met its obli3a-
tons or that it has refused to meet any
claims which were just and by their
conditions due and payable 1t
would be well for stockholders to pro-
tect their claims by fulfilling their part
of the contract, not allowing their
stock to become delinquent, as, no
matter whether IA receiver be appointed
Or not, the entire sum they have paid
into the loan fund is, according to the
examiner, deposited with the state on
first mortgages. The association is
doing business right along, and there
is not one chance in thousand that
the attorney general will take any ac-
tion in the matter. The officers of
the association are in possession of
evidence that goes to prove thai con-
spiracy has been formed to wreck the
association, get possession of the as
sets, buy up the members claims, and
clear cool million. This wr.cking
business is not aimed at the American
alone, but all building and loan asso-
Citations that are cutting into the
would-be wreckers' business"

EDIToRIALLY speaking the Yaquina
Republican, in some squibs, says:
The chances are that the republicans
will nominate new men for the legisla-
ture in Benton county i. Some day
Benton county will be divided and
when that time arrives Toledo will
stand an excellent chance of getting
the county seat. Her people are
figuring ahead on the question The
republicans on this side of the range
are entitled to the state senator, one OF
the representatives and fair portion
of the delegates to the state conven-
ton from the hands. of the county con-
vention. This would be fair divis-
ion of honors.

AN Albany paper blurts out again
about the Oregon Pacific railroad
offices being moved from Corvallis to
that city during the coming year. 1t
is safe to say that no person other than
the head officers know of the future
movements of that company in 1890,
and when paper publishes such as
sertions it simply falsifies.

II NEW FORK "HERALD."

Ii the New I Ork Herald was ever
right on question of governmental
policy or correct in its predictions OF
the result of any policy we never
h ard of it. Consistently with all its
past, it recently got off large batch
of rot in reference to ''the substitu-
tion by the republican speaker of mob
rule for the rule of law, etc." 1t talks
about the Substitution of violence for
for law" and much more silly and
meaningless trash. AS if a single man
could be mob or rule large minority
by violence.
Neither the Herald no, any OF its
ilk who SO glibly denounces Speaker
Reed have ever attempted by single
argument to controvert his position or
show wherein he has committed any
outrage against the rights of the minor
ity. Leading democrats publicly
threatened that the republican ma
jority should never adopt any code of
rules contrary to their wishes; that
every device of obstruction should be
used to prevent any legislation dis
tasteful tc the minority. The Amer
lean people had elected majority.o of
the house of representatives. Having
failed to control by numbers, the dem
ocrats proposed to obstruct by factious
opposition. Who are the revolution
ists2 Is this government to be con-
trolled by majorities or minorities9 Is
the constitution of the United States
the supreme law of the land or are we
to to be controlled by few one horse
democratic politicians? Do two and
two make four or do they make only
two2 No less than three or four demo-
cratic presiding officers in the state
legislatures have decided, exactly in
regard to how quorum shall be de-
termined, as did Speaker Reed. Had
he decided any other way he would
have violated his oath to support the
constitution of the United States. If
he decided wrong in few instances
Speaker Carlile and every former
Speaker has done so hundreds of times
there is no constitutional provision
nor any common sense re ,son for max
ing those voting the quorum, instead
of those present, unless there is some
way to compel them to vote if present.
There is no more reason for all this
democratic howl about oppression
than there is for the yelping of coy
otes. It is a question of law and rea-
son. and not one of precedent. 1t
was the custom for long years for the
Sandwich Islanders to eat children.
There was a very. long line of prece-
dents in favor Of it's practice. Yet
| Mark Twain said "that for some rea-
son the missionaries were opposed to
the practice of ting children: he did
not know why. but they were opposed
Ito it." If the missionaries had been
democrats they would have sustained
the precedent, right OR wrong.

settle the question as to what sarsaparillas were
in fact purely vegetable. We present their re-
port.
"We have made careful chemical analyses of
several well known brands of sarsapariIa, and
have found them all with the single exception OF
joys to contain Iodide of Potassium. As a resnlt
we are enabled to pronounce joys to be the only
purely vegetable sarsaparilla now on the market,
which has come under Our observation"
Modern medicine has proven that all ordinary
lace eruptions are not caused by diseased blood,
but by indigestion and sluggish circulation,
which call for vegetable Alternatives, instead OF
mineral blood purifiers like Iodidc of Potassium
Jey's Vegetable sarsaparilla being the latest, is
the first to discard the old notions and proceed
under the modern theory. It's cures attest the
soundness of the theory. 1t is the talk of the
hour.

Referring to the formation of local sec ion, the Tribune said: ssAt Newtown, the farmers arose as one man and the largest meeting of milk producers ever held there organized q section with z. ;. Peck president and D. c. Peck secretary. Thirty-eight members were enrolled and each man eheerfully paid his initiation fee of $1, while 20 more are ready to fol low. E. l.. Johnson and J. B. Wheeler represented this section at the great meeting at Goshen" Elsewhere it says that the farmers along the Housatonic valley are pushing to the front in this matter with true New England vim.
 The organization is already nearly per- feet; to secure full returns to the farm CTS, many plans have been suggested, but that meeting with most apparent fa- vor is to prevent surplus by turning all unsold milk into butter or cheese inn mediately, by agents appointed for the purpose. It is also suggested that, to avoid bad debts, the middlemen be com pelled to pay for the milk before taking it from the freight depot, instead of, as at present, merely paying the freight. A plan committee has been appointed and will hear suggestions at the annual meet ing in New York. January 30. The Tribune of Thursday, 30th, will contain another article on this subject of vital importance to farmers.

Yule Whist Club.

The club held it's weekly reunion on of Mir and Mrs Levi c. Morris. The members were most cordially received and every arrangement necessary to their comfort and entertainment had been duly made by the lynx-eyed hostess. There was a strong attendance, re-enforced as it was by E. .Fairchild, who was unan- imously elected at the last meeting in the place of Mir Wakeman, resigned. Dr and Mrs Smith and Miss Lulu Glover were the only absentees, whose places were kindly taken by Mrs Manville, Miss Hat tie Glover and R. H. Beers. The major domo, the hostess if you please, who preferred to play the part of Martha, which she did to perfection, was repre- sented by Miss Nissan from Bridgeport. As the end of the month approaches, the interest in the games increases and the play, if possible, becomes more eager and animated. These modern whist parties are truly delightful, being entirely unlike the ancient or ordinary game, at which all is hushed in kind of Masonic silence and where the attention of every one is so concentrated on the play as to suggest the quintessence of dullness. No, these games of ours are bright, cheerful and lively with the sound of harmonious voices. Now and again, to the sweetly erring, punishment is swift but good natured. And thus the evenings pass. On this occasion, all had a most enjoyable time.

WESTPORT.
sAUGATUCK's FUTURE.

Some time ago, the BEE contained an article on the future of Saugatuck as a railroad station, which was extensively quoted. Among other statements, it said that the Consolidated road had purchas- ed land near the station and would put up costly buildings and lay tracks, etc., to accommodate both passenger and freight traffic, which was now hampered by lack of room at South Norwalk. Since then, the company has continued it's pur- chases until, at cost of something more than $50, ,000, 1t has land enough for four main tracks, two or more side tracks and any quantity of switches, besides build ings.
 The plans, as outlined to the BEE by gentlemen deeply interested in the pro- ject, call for the expenditure of $250,00O at Saugatuck within two or, at the most, three years. With the four tracking of the road comes the elimination of all grade crossings, of which Westport for | tunately has none now, but semi-pri- vate one at Saugatuck depot and couple near Greens Farms. The drawbridge over the Saugatuck will be arranged for four tracks, which will, it is said, inter- Flock in such manner that the bridge will not be widened; but four trains cannot pass at the same time.
 | A yard is to be established south of the present tracks, with great car-room and Y on which entire trains may be turned. Then several thousand dollars will be put into a handsome station building, l which will stand some distance west of l the present depot, near the site of the Franklin house. Westport will then be- come an express station and every train stopping at South Norwalk will also pause here. On the extensive yards be- low the station, trains now scheduled as South Norwalk specials will be placed their run being extended to Westport l Trains now made up at South Norwalk I will also be sent to Westport, while coal barges can discharge at the company's docks, with every facility for rapid work New freight buildings will also be re. quired.
 When all these changes are completed 1 (and laborers are already widening the I roadbed for four tracks and grading for the new crossings) Westport will take its place as one of the most important sta tions on the road west of Bridgeport and the prosperity it enjoys will be greatly l increased. sWestport has been wei treated by the Consolidated, says q prominent resident, sand it has tried to reciprocate by being just and fair in it's demands, but not indiscriminately fight l ing the road.r A short time ago, Presi. dent Charles r. Clark of the Consolidat- ed was asked about the projected Sauga- tuck Valley road from Hawleyyille to l Westport. s'Oh well, let them build it, 7 he said. "Let them come to Saugatuck. There's lots of room and they can use it if they want to. We won't charge mucll.' This may or may not be an in- dication that the Consolidated is simply waiting to gobble the Saugatuck Valley as soon as 1t is built.
