Business Outlook

y Business throughout the country is
beginning to attain the volume that
confident dealers had looked for this
autumn. The closing week has been
one of great activity. Nearly all de-
partments of both retail and whole
sale trade have received a healthy i'm
petus, and merchants are jubilant over
the Improvement. The manufacturers
are likewise doing better. and mer-
chants are buying more literally
The present prospect is certainly as
good as could be wished. The wealth
ercontinues favorable for late crops,
and the total yield Of agricultural
products in the United States will be
much the largest ever known. The
heavy foreign demand keeps prices up
Aand when there is an abundance tc

OUR RAILROAD.

The Magistrates of the county met
on Thursday as announced, to consider
request of the Midland railroad for
the submission to the people of pro-
posal from said road for vote OF
Sl25,OOO to aid them in building
through our county. The proposition
was not exactly in the shape desired,
and an adjournment was had till
to-day, when the officials of the road
and a committee of citizens shall have
an agreed proposition to present to the
board. We note the fact that during
the week since this proposition has
Nbeen talked of that more real estate
\.ss changed hands both in the county
yand city than in twelve-month be-
fore. If the bare prospect OF pro-
posal to vote county aid shall have
such salutary effect on the real es-
tate market, surely we should leave
nothing undone to compass the bring
ing of another road to our county.
This proposition stands on differ
ent footing from any other that has
ever been presented. In the first
place it is our last chance to offer an
inducement to railroad to build
through our borders.
Again, the road making the propo-
sition does not want the "aid' asked
for enough to spend any money i'll the
election that may be had, and the vote
will be had upon its merits; if the
people of the county think it good
investment it would be voted, other
wise its defeat would follow.
We are of the opinion that it is the
duty of the board of Magistrates to
snet the people decide for themselves
whether or not they want to vote the
{amount asked for. There have been
so many snide schemes presented by
designing parties to get the peoples
money that it behooves the board OF
Magistrates to to be careful as TO how
they allow such matters to be worked.
lat same time here is something that
appeals SO greatly to the county that
each member of the board should
weigh the matter well before he makes
mn his mind to refuse the people an
opportunity to secure a competing
line of road.

Valley wheat advanced to $1.72 per
Genital for the choicest at Portland yes
terday. 1t was learned that wheat was
selling at Albany at considerably higher
figures than on the basis of the Portland
market and this had tendency to stiff
fen the price,. Transportation rates by
way of Yaquina are low enough to make
Portland buyers feel serious over San
Francisco competition; thus xilether it
is on the ocean or the river, by rail OF
water, competition plays an. important
part in the price that the producer re-
ceiyes for his products.

A prominent wheat buyer said to the
writer few days ago: ''If the farmers
ofWasco county expect to be able to
sell them wheat at a fair price during
the coming years they must make an
effort to get rid of the wild oats. Much
of the wheat that now comes to market
is full of wild oats. Buyers cannot
handle such wheat and pay reasonable
price to the farmer. The. mills won't
buy such wheat and shippers won't re-
ceiveit aboard their vessels. Wild oats
seem to be getting worse in this section
every year and it is high time something
was done to get rid of them.

A speedy locomotive This.

.sIf the new engine am about to
have constructed is not capable of max
ing 100 miles an hour I'll give her away
to the first person meet.
This astounding statement was made
by Mr.. jackson Richards, the master
mechanic of the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad. Mr.. Richards has been
working on his latest invention for the
past ten years, and few days ago the
drawings were completed and the pat
ent was applied for.
In outward appearance the new loco
motive will not differ materially from
the speedy engines now used. The pc
culiarity of construction lies in the fact
that instead of the two cylinders as used
at present there will be four. One cylin-
der will be located on each side of the
locomotive frame as at present, and the
other two will be cast in what is known
as the cylinder saddle. The inside pair
of cylinders are to be in one piece and
will lie on an angle. The outside cylin-
ders are to be horizontal as at present.
The four cylinders will entirely over
come what is known to engineers as the
dead center, and the engine will be per-
fectly balanced without any counter
balance in the wheels.
This latter improvement will, to a
large degree, do away with the vicious
pounding which has proved SO destruc.
tive to modern roadbeds. The perfect
balancing of the engine will be largely
due to the working Of the two cylin-
ders so near her center, and these same
cylinders, working as they do from such
central point of vantage, will help out
in the matter of speed to great degree.

To what base uses the noblest senti-
ments are sometimes put! How strange
thlt men will speak in high-sounding
phrases of the brotherhood of man when
their real design is to conceal from pub.
C apprehension the nefarious character
oi their own principles and thus borrow,
as it were, the livery of heaven to do the
DEVILS work. Thus the blood-thirsty
Successors and heirs-at-law to the muir
derers of the Chicago Haymarket met
last Saturday night and talked of the
''red'' In the American flag being the
token of universal brotherhood" when
in their souls they regard that color sim
ply as the emblem of blood and anarchy ;,
o dynamite and death. One Zanetkin,
AN escaped nihilist from Siberia, whose
unholy feet should never have been per-
mitted to tread the soil of freedom, we
are told, delighted his audience by as
serting that the only difference between
United States and Russia was that
the Russian "reformers" were hanged
b the czar, while Inspector Bonfeld,"
(who simply did his duty in bringing to
justice tne nuruSrerS Oh MS cOmpanlOnS)
attended to the duties of executor of
turbulent trades and labor assemblies"
Thus do these murderers, who never
drew breath of freedom till they drew
it here and who are not only at war
with society, bnt. are the enemies of
everything deserving the name of organ
lied labor, prate about reform and uni
yersal brotherhood, when they mean
anarchy and universal disintegration.
The London Times sizes up the situation
pretty accurately when it says that if
any of tho Chicago anarchists commit
murder there within the next few
months they will be hanged with
greater dispatch than was used about
their predecessors of five years ago.
