STATE OFFICIALS.
A DISTURBING FACTOR.

In reviewing the short comings of the
past legislature the Orego'iiGn of the 22nd
among other good things, says:
The legislature ought to have author
lied the construction of Il portage rail-
proper assessment law, this railway
could have been built and the state
would not have felt the outlay, The
next legislsture could have ordered the
construction of transfer boat, which
could be built in ninety DAYS, and the
problem would have been solved. But
where one member was ready to urge
immediate action, two or three were
ALWAYS at hand to fill every proposition
full of obstacles. No spur to action was
sharp enough to overcome the stolid re-
sistance of inertia and hesitation, the
customary disposition and inclination to
postponement and delay. But the de-
mand for this measure is not to esilenc-
ed. 1t will increase to storm, will
rise to whirlwind, and will sweep all
before it. A beginning of this work-a
work that the people will surely insist
on till they get it-ought to have been
made now. Postponement of it has
only thrown forward A most disturbing
factor into coming elections.
We thank Oregon's great daily for
this and all it's other able and forcible
utterances in behalf of Eastern Oregon,
but we can not believe the legislature s
failure to give us this great relief was
born of inertia or ''hesitation - our
county was ably represented by men
who are neither indolent or wavering.
Our representatives in the house realized
full well the great desire throughout all
Eastern Oregon of the portage road and
upon them rests the responsibility for
it's defeat. Both Mr.. Mccoy and Mr..
Johnston are as wide awake and ener-
getic as any men in the legislature and
they could have had no conscientious
doubt as to the desirability of the meas
ure. They both simply surrendered to
the influences which fought the bill and
sacrificed the trust they impliedly
promised by their acceptance of their
officers, to sacredly guard. Their support
given with the heartiness which accom-
panied their opposition would have Sc
cured the passage of the bill. The peo-
pie who have thus been betrayed by
them will remember it and their wrath
will fall whenever and wherever these
misrepresentors expose themselves pol
itically. The political party which elec-
ted them, though perhaps free from
blame, will long feel the effects of this
disturbing factor" which they have
originated.

Weight of Ice on Trees.
Boston Transcript

A gentleman of Brooklyn has sent to
the Listener an account of very inter
esting experiment in taking the weight
of the ice upon tree branches during the
recent ice storm when the ice on the
trees was -at5it maximum. This gentle
man thus describes the result of his ex-
pertinent :. ga branch of the syringa
which weighed one pound had five
pounds of ice on it, and branch of pine
needles weighing one pound had twelve
pounds of ice on it. got these weights
by taking the wood with the ice on it at
first, and then taking the weight of wood
after the ice had melted. This does not
represent correctly the enormous strain
or actual pressure exerted on the
branches of trees by these ice storms,
but will easily account for the sad break
age of trees so common the past few
days, and the danger from these ice
storms on both trees and wires.''

Eastern oregon.s kesource..

DIR. o. NJ. Dodson, state senator from
Baker and Malheur counties, i'll speak
ing of his section of the country said
Comparatively few people in Portland
realize the enormous resources of our
district. Being 35S miles from this city,
our place naturally does not attract
much attention; but it would surprise
many who have never been there to pay
us visit. What is most needed at
present is wagon road from Baker City
to Seven Devils mines, distance of
seventy-five miles, and an appropriation
of $1,000 would not only benefit that
section of the country, but the state at
large. 1t will, if built, open up rich
mining county and draw trade from
Idaho. 1t will strike the Snake river
about fifteen miles from Baker City, and
will pass through Eagle valley and Pine
valley on that river. The mines in the
Seven Devils are rich in gold, silver and
copper, and placer mining is also good.
The country is wild and so difficult of
access that it was given the name it now
bears. The land is rich, and, with
proper irrigation, will produce excellent
crops.

Mortgages i'm the United states.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Superintend-
ent Porter, of the census bureau, has pre-
pared the introduction to the bulletin on
private indebtedness of individuals and

Office have overhauled the records in

their labor, about 100000 mortgages.

The Indian warriors who have recently
been feasted and dfiattered at Washington
are returning home and from Chicago
newspaper reports are still dissatisfied.
Suppose these leaders, instead of an ex-
cursion to Washington, at the expense
of the government against which they
have been in rebellion, were treated to
little prison life; would not the effect
be quite as salutary? 1t would cost less
at any rate.

The unfortunate disaster at or near
Wyeth Station yesterday afternoon is
the first serious accident to passenger
train which has ever happened on the
line between here and Portland. The
road is probably the most difficult of any
on the coast to maintain and keep in re-
pair and by reason of the overhanging
cliffs and mountains is subject, during
the winter season, to enormous slides
and washouts; yet, with the exception
of the bridge disaster last winter near
the Cascades, it has never had serious
accident resulting from imperfect track.
1t has received much severe criticism
one time and another from the press OF
this city and if all that has been said OF
its track is true it is great miracle that
it has continued for ten years to carry its
passengers safely over the line. The
particulars at hand are too meager to
enable us to express an opinion as to
whether or not the company is RESPONSE
BILE in this instance and in any event,
this is question which the courts alone
can determine, and we consider the court
and not the press the proper tribunal to
try their case. We believe the public
in a case of this kind should reserve their
judgment until careful investigation
has been had. 1t is time enough to con-
denim when, after careful investigation
the company or its officers are found
blameworthy.
