where its enterprise fully entities II

der aud excitement have been the
result of the Oregonian's big rail
road article few days ago, extracts
from which were copied into this
paper and the Statesman, yet every
item of that article bearing any in
terest to Oregon was published and
commented upon In the CAPITAL
JOURNAL two months ago. AT that
time the supplemental articles
of Incorporation were filed in
the secretary Of states office, and
IA reporter noticing their Importance
made IA digest of them. Yet the big
paper has just awakened to the gi-
gantic magnitude OF the scheme.

STEAM TCG BOAT.
The Necessity Made Apparent by the
High Price Of MOod and
other Commodities.

There has been somewhat OF {

ant price In a country abounding IN
the finest tiniber, but the fact is, the
expsnse Of getting it here is so great
that IL cannot be sold for less. Fol
instance the greater part Of the pres
cut supply 10 brought here by rail,
which involves a very large outlay.
The matter Of sand for building pur
poses is another of serious consider
alton, as IL also that of gravel for
sidewalk building and street grading
The bars and banks along the riv.
er from which these commodities
are taken are being annually moved
10y the action Uf the river so that
their location becomes uncertain
and sometimes difIiult Of reach, ~
that the obtaining of supply by
team becomes impracticable aud AL
most out of the question.
The only solution of these prob
lens seems to be by means Of scOws
aud tug boats. The scows are al
ready ia Use here, but the difficulty
is in obtaining tug power. The
scOw men have to depend entirely
on the river steamers, whose con-
venience or inclination ofteutimes
causes such delay or expense as to
retard the work and diminish it,
benefits. To Obvlate this difficulty =,
there Is need Of u steam tug boat,
owned aud operated here, aud its
existence would materially decrease
the cost Of the three staple articles
mentioned, besides precluding the
possibility Of a famine.
Geo. ID. Goodhue represents par
ties here who, with himself, would
undertake the putting in of such
boat provided the business Den of
the city would render some finan-
cial encouragement. 1t IL urged
that II such boat were la opera
ton at the present time, at least 81 n
cord could be saved ON wood, which
means several thousand dollars
year to consumers.
The expense Of such boat would
be between $4,000 aud 10000, as II
would have 10 be built of sufficient
power to tow on any part of the
river, up or down, aud at all periods.
Such "a boat could be also utilized for
excursions up and down the river,
which would be much enjoyed.
BY all means talk up the steam
tug boat, which will be all that is
necessary to show its desirability
and insure the success of the project.

A so-called American joke is circula-
ting through the London clubs. 1t tells
of Yankee whose body, according to
ante-mortcm instructions, was given
into the glowing chamber of crema-
tory. Half an hour had passed when
the sorrowing friends. impollcd by a
morbid curiosity, slyly opened the door
and peeped in to see how the melancholy
work of dissolution was progressing
To the surprise of all, the corpse sat up
stark, blue and shivering, and cried out:
PLEASE shut that door-you know very
we'll never could stand draught!"
