IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
Marion County will Insist on Having
Trail and Road Through
MintO Pass.

Hon. George G.. Bingham, deputy
district attorney aud the republican
candidate for the principalship,
took last evenings train for Cor
wallis to consult as an attorney for
Marion county with the officials of
the Oregon Pacific railroad with a
view to securing the construction of
a highway along the track of that
company through the upper sam
tiam valley, where the road and
trail have been destroyed by the
building Of the railroad.
That upper country is settling up
rapidly aud people want a chance
for iBgress and egress. There has
been an immense petition filed with
the county court asking for the ca.
adjustment Of highway and the
court has been hunting up the law.
Recognizing the fact that the Ore
gon Pacific officials are men OF
brains and desirOus of doing what |
they believe to be right, the court
has employed Mr.. Bingham to con-
suit with them and if possible OBJ
tain amicable action, aud it is hoped
he will be successful, as those m.un-
tain settlers are entitled to all the
privileges the law guarantees.
The railroad company has de-
Itroyed the old trail through the
hinto pass in many places and
with Its right of way the
My available avenue of travel, and
ret 1t Is said from official sources
hat no legal right Of way has ever
'een obtained through the govern
nent lands in the upper Santiam
alley. This would indicate that
he o. =. or w. V. & &. company !
ad neglected very important !,
tcp.
But even though the company
ad flied its proper papers and se-
lred right of way, there Is a
atute of the United States in \
'lation to highways which will \
rotect the travelling public and
ing the company to time. 1t .

roads series of select excursions to the
seaside resorts of New Jersey occurs on
Thursday, July oath. The points embrac-
ed in the tickets are Atlantic City, Cape
May, Sea Isle City or Ocean City, any one
of which 1nay be chosen. The Jersey Coast

pleasures Of seashore life can be more
thoroughly enjoyed than through the
medium of these select parties.
A special train composed of day parlor
cars and day coaches will leave Pittsburg
on the date mentioned, at $50 A. NJ, and
run through to Philadelphia, arriving at
7.1o P. NJ. The night will be passed in
Philadelphia and the party will take
regular trains to the seashore next morn
ing.
Passengers from Pittsburg, East Liberty,
Irwin, UniontOwn, Connellsville, Scott
dale, Stonerville, Greensburg, or Johns
town may take the evening trains leaving
Pittsburg for Philadelphia at so and 8. 10
=. NJ, and proceed to the shore the next
morning.
The first Of these excursions was a
grand success and similar good fortune il
predicted for the others.
The excursion rate from Butler is $1,000
and the regular train connecting with the
special will leave at Geo A. M.
Any epecial information in regard to
these excursions may be obtained by ad

Chicago's Star.

Chicago is great city and her latest en-
terprise is the manufacture ofstars. Some
time ago she sent up an electric balloon
we do not remember exactly how high the
account stated-which shone like q star 10
the people living within radius of few
miles, and some people in Butler have
been imagining that the unusually bright
star that has lately appeared over our
Western horizon, little North Of West, il
the Chicago electric balloon light.
But let US consider the matter. Chicago
is about 500 miles West of Us, on as
straight line as can be drawn on the
Earth's surface, the curvature Of the planet
puts an elevation, about ten miles high,
between the two points, and therefore this
balloon-light to be seen from the hills of
