SAN FRANCISCO capitalists are
trying to get away with the pro-
posed American terminus OF the
Pacific cable. The bill in refer
ence to this enterprise was intro
duced by our Senator Mitchell who
had his eye on Portland as the
terminus, and now San Francisco,
as usual, wants to steal the bene-
fits of Oregon's work.

It is noticeable fact that there
have been no less than seven
wrecks on the S. p. between Salem
and Albany within the past few
years, although the road is one
of the most level and safe looking
in the state. The o. 2. track runs
through some pretty rough coun-
trv. but there never has been Sc
rious accident on the line since it
was built. This shows a different
manner of construction and oper-
ating.

The curulio is said to be friend
in disguise to the plum grower.
Truly he may say, Save me from
such a friend" Plum trees are
not apt to overbear, because with
the very best precautions there
will always be enough of these
little friends (or fiends) to prevent
the calamity. Of all the proposed
notwithstanding the trees, chip
traps laid on the ground about the
trees, smoking, hanging tarry corn-
cobs in the trees, and spraying
with London purple, none is so
good as to spray the plum orchard
with a few dozen chickens. To
|fence in the orchard and make a
poultry yard of it know is effect
live, and while a few insects will
escape and some plums drop, the
fowls will get every one that drops
to the ground. l tried this plan
after having no plums but from
the wild goose trees for five years,
and for the next seven years had a
fair crop every year, and twice an
enormous yield. My plum orch,
ard was divided into two parts,
each of which was plowed alter
|nately and sowed with green crops
peas, turnips or oats, with some
lonions mixed-for the fowls to
lfeed on. | never had more egg
land chickens or more plums thar
from this acre of ground.-N. 7

now try and resign themselves to
the fact that at the present rate OF

EIGHTEEN of the largest railroad

EIGHTEEN of the largest railroad
corporations in the country, includ-
ing all the transcontinental lines,
have combined their interests, and
the roads are to be run as nearly
az possible under one manage
ment. AS they had pooled previ-
ously so far as frelghts and fares
are concerned, the public can be
none the worse off. Jay Gould is
the prime mover in the scheme
and he probably wants to marshal
the roads into line preparatory to
gobbling them up at one swallow

UNSAFE Rail ROADS.

Judging from the number OF
wrecks and derailments on the
continental roads leading into Ore
gon, the tracks must be IN very
poor condition. People living ON
the line OF the q. P, up the Co.
lumbia, are constantly hearing OF
wrecks on that road caused by rot
ten ties, whilst the accidents on
the Northern Pacific through the
state of Washington have been re-
curing with decidedly disgusting
frequency. There can be but one
explanation of these disasters, and
that is the various companies are
neglecting the condition of their
roads and trestles in the North
west, and the ties and bents put
down when the tracks were built
are not being replaced as fast as
thew become useless. The main
trouble with the railroads operat-
ing into Oregon is, they are held
principally by heavy stockholders
in the extreme east who own too
many railroads to be able to attend
to details so important to the safe
ty of human lives and property.
It would certainly seem to be a
matter of economy as we'll as hu-

WASHINGTON'S UNSISTERLY PRE-
JUDGES.

There seems to be a rather un-
kind and certainly unprovoked pre-
judice against Oregon on the part
of many of our state Of Washing
ton exchanges. Whilst this state
was endeavoring to have correct
census taken in place of the June
fizzle. all the papers north of the
of the Columbia river which
spoke of the matter at all, tried to
make it appear that Oregon was
endeavoring to "pad" her returns
for no other purpose than to out
count the state Of Washington, and
now that we have to abide for the
next ten years by the miscount
which overlooked at least $4,000
of our people, these same exchang-
es, instead of demanding fair play
for Oregon, seem to revel in ma
licious delight at our misfortune.
Oregonians feel no envy toward
the citizens of the Sound state, but
on the contrary have kindly feel
ings for them and hearty good
wishes for their success. If Wash
|ington was as badly miscounted as
was Oregon, our citizens and news
papers would have joined theirs in
the effort to have the wrongs
righted, instead of showing such
decidedly unbrotherly and unde-
served hatred toward our northern
neighbors. Oregon has no object
whatever in ''padding' her popula-
ton. There is no feverish .sboom"
in any portion of our state. but a
solid, steady growth i'll population
and wealth has been the order here
ever since It's occupancy by the
whites. There is no rush of adven-
turers and spectators here to prey
on newcomers who have been en-
ticed here by false impressions
made throughout the East through
storytelling advertisements about
our resources. The flow of f'busted'
business men who have ventured
their all in some paper town
amongst the woods has not yet
begun from the Webfoot state.
When a man buys an acre of land
: here he pays no inflated price for
1t. but purchases property he knows
will increase steadily in value
long after thousands of "boomers'
on the Sound have been left 'hold
, ing the sack" as they are now at
, Los Angeles and San Diego, Cali
i, fornia. For Washington's steady
success Oregon has no protest, but
+ in "boom1ng" and preying upon ar
unsuspecting public on the basi;
h of imaginary resources or pros
y poets that never materialize, Ore
q gon has very little sympathy.

A AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM.
The desirable points in the Aus

The desirable points in the Aus
tralian ballot system are absolute
secresy in casting the ballot; one
ticket containing the names of all
the candidates to be furnished the
voter at public expense; publish
ing the names of all nominees in
the newspapers; keeping a space
within fifty feet of the polling
places clear of all parties except
the election officers, those author
lied to challenge voters and
those actually engaged in prepar-
ing their ballots, which last class
are to be limited to five persons at
a time. Any regulation as to
kind of paper used, or giving a
monopoly to any person in issuing
the paper for ballots must be done
away with. The accepted law
provides for "white paper to be
printed with black ink" The pro
vision in the bill to be presented
this term of the legislature for
"ballots to be printed on different
colored paper for the use OF the
voters outside the polls" will en-
tail a useless expense and provide
bribers and cappers with ballots
for electioneering purposes, con-
trary to the spirit of the system.
The voter should go to his booth
provided with the ballot furnished
him by the board of election.
which he must fix up to his own
satisfaction, entirely free of all
outside influence or preparation.
Absolutely alone, with his ballot
and his lead pencil, he scratches
to suit himself, folds the ticket sc
that the boards stamp on its back
can be visible to the election
officers, hands it to the inspector
who deposits it in the box, an1
walks away. Anything which
will interfere with these simple
principles will deviate from the
genuine Australian ballot system
and should be looked out for b.
the conscientious legislator wht
wishes the ballot in Oregon to b.
pure, simple, secret and free.

Twenty Acres of Orange Land.

G. N. Lowell, a gentleman from the
effete East, who has been in Southern
California long enough to appreciate the
value of real estate in this section, called
upon w. HI. Brooks Tuesday for the
purpose of securing twenty acres of On
tario land owned by Mr.. B. He pro-
posed to pay Mr.. Brooks $4 600 cash and
give him deed to 100 acres of good land
near Ness City, Kansas.
Mr.. B.-I know the 160-acre farm you
offer, Mr.. l.. 1t is good land, well
located, but you will have to throw
more of your broad acres in sight before
we can trade. .
Mr.. B.-I have also eighty acres near
Mcpherson, Kansas, which | will throw
in.
Mr.. B.-Well, bring ON some more.
Mr.. Ii have 200 acres of prime
grazing or agricultural land near Dallas,
Texas, which l will give you also.
Mr.. B.-l would not trade my twenty
acres OF Ontario orange land for the State
OF Texas. Put in something else.
Mr.. Ii have a house and lot in
Pasadena, but desire to reserve that for
another trade. Well, here (showing
deeds) are thirty-one lots in Mcpherson,
Kansas, for which | am offered $50 each |;
I'll put them in.
Mr.. B.-The Mcpherson lots are O. X,
but you must come down with some
thing more.
Mr.. L.-Well, let's see; have prop
erty all around. I'll tell you what I'll
do-I'll put in the 200 acres in Texas.
Mr. B.-As l remarked before, / am
not hankering after Texas real estate.
Try again.
Mr.. L.-Brooks, that is all the prop
erty have that will let 90 now
Mr.. bail right; put in Texas prop
erty and make out papers.
In twenty minutes money was paid
and papers deposited in bank.
The above trade took place precisely
as reported. For twenty acres of On
tario orange land Mr.. Lowell, gentle
man who is able to discriminate in the
value of real estate, for he has been over
as much of it as the average man, lie
having been an extensive traveller, gives
$4,000 in cash, 440 acres of Eastern land
and 81 town lots in Mcpherson, Kansas,
for which Mr.. Brooks has already been
offered $4,000 cash. And yet the state
ment that ten-acre ranch in Southern
California is worth more, and will pro-
duce more than the average 160-acre
farm in the East, is regarded by Eastern
people as California lie.-[Ontario

Axtel1 Growing.

Budd Doble, who owns a fifth interest
in Axtell, will decide for the syndicate
whether it will be proper to train the
stallion after he has attended to his stud
duties. 1t is reasonable to infer that
Axtell will not be started in public in
1890, unless his owners feel confident
that he can lower his record, and to do
this he will have to be in the best OF
form. Although the stallion cost $105,-
600, there is no insurance on him. The
horse owner can insure only against fire,
and there is no fear of destruction by
flame at Terre Haute. The stable which
shelters Axtell is isolated and fire-proof.
1t is cheaper to build a stable of this kind
than to take out an insurance policy.
w. P. Ijams says that Axtell has grown
during the winter, and that he now
stands 1885. He is higher forward
than behind, and he is logged every
day.
