THE GREAT OBJECTOR.
Congressman W. s. Holman Makes a Tour
Through Wonderland.

LIVINGSTON, July 27.-[S Special. .1-Con-
eressman w. $. Holman, of Indiana, ao-
conpanied by his wife, passed through
here last night returning from tour of the
park. Though the gentleman was suffer-
ing considerably from fatigue he spent an
hour in genial conversation at the hotel
with a number of citizens who called to pay
their respects to the great obiector. This
is his second tour to Wonderland, having
visited it some six years ago in company
with Congressman Cannon, of Illinois. and
the Hon. Tom Ryan, now United States
minister to Mexico. He expressed himself
as highly pleased with the changes that
have been wrought in that time, and the
perfection of the roads and hotels and gen.
eral arrangements for the comfort of the
visitors.
Speaking of the wool interests of Mon
tana, he was very much surprised to learn
of the immensity of the business, and made
pointed inquiries into the number and size
of the focks, the method of caring for
them, and the quality, quantity and prices
of the wool. When told that good shearers
averaged about $50 sheep a day he grew
quite enthusiastic and spoke of his boy
hood, on the farm where he now resides,
and of the time when he sheared sheap. He

he.
In regard to the MaoKnight contempt
case he spoke in Il general way at length
expressing as his opinion that while the
court had the undoubted right to and
should, in extreme cases of great public i'm
port, protect its dignity, yet great care
should be taken lest We silence honest crit
cism and enoroach upon the freedom of
the press" He sorupulously avoided po-
litical questions aud skillfully directed the
conversation into other channels. He
would not discuss his objections to the
Cooke City rond through Il portion OF the
park never visited by tourists, though it is
said he expressed himself yesterday as now
in favor of railroad to this great mining
camp by almost any route.

was run. There was also special trot.
The weather was warm and the track was
in good condition. Though the crowd was
not large, it was better than was expected.
Horsemen are universally pleased with the

the association lost $2,S00. Most of the

A Snake Story from India.

There is belief current in all parts of
India that certain variety of snake
called Shesh Nag, when it attains the
age of 1000 years, has precious jewel
formed in its head. The jewel. it is
affirmed, possesses the quality of sucking
up the poison of the deadliest snake if
applied to the wounded part. Strangely
enough a Paris gentleman is reputed to
possess this invaluable jewel, according
to correspondent of a Gujarati weekly,
published at Wadhwan, in Gujarati
The correspondent says that when the
present owner-who, by the way, is now
sixty three-was twenty-three years old
he lighted upon snake of the above
mentioned variety which he killed. Then
he found the jewel in his head. 1t has
already saved several lives
When Mr.. Vidal, the collector of the
district, was there, it was shown to him
too. The jewel is said to contain thin,
crescent like fiber, which INCREASINGLY
oscilliates in the center. The gaikwar
of Baroda, the maharajah of Kolhapur,
and several of her native princes are said
to have offered several hundred thousand
rupees for this unique jewel. The name
of the owner is Mr.. Framji Dadabbai

Since the Union Pacific company took
possession of the o. r. & Co.'s lines
they have pursued penny wise pound
foolish policy that would drive any ordi-
nary road into bankruptcy. The cost of
the wrecks and disasters, not to say loss
of human life that have happened
through simple lack of sufficient num-
Der of trackwalkers, would alone have
undoubtedly paid the wages of watch
man for every half mile of track between
The Dalles and Bonneville for the next
twenty years. The management of the
concern in this regard is of little interest
to us except in SO far as the policy is q
constant menace to human life. A year

Precantion Against Flood,.

Floods may be successfully opposed or
escaped. Railways and wagon roads
may and must be laid on river food
plains, but the embankInents and tres
ties and bridges should be raised not
only above the latest freshet mark, but
well above the great natural food mark
found in the plain itself, and the recip-
rocal effects of embankments and other
structures on future freshets should be
cautiously reckoned. Farms may and
ought to be located on fertile bottom
lands enriched by annual or decennial
overflow; but the farmers should dig
deep for his foundations and build his
superstructures strong and high. -
On every flood plain of eastern Amer
lea he should provide for the loss of crop
and fences once in three, or five, or ten
years: and both common humanity and
economic policy urge that dumb beasts
should be pastured and fed on the up
lands, so that the fertile river bottoms
may be devoted to their best use--name-
ly, the production of plant crops.
Cities and towns ought not to be built
on the flood ridden and miasmatic low
lands; yet they have been in the past
and will be in the future, SO the towns
man. like the farmer, should build high
and strong and hold himself ready to re-
move his dear ones and carry his goods
to upper stories. And the flood swept
bottom lands of the American rivers
afford business opportunity, curiously
neglected in the past, though destined
to be successfully grasped at no distant
day-namely, insurance against floods.
The great desideratum is general re-
cognition of the facts-which are DEM
onstrated by the observations of thou
sands and gainsaid by none, though
ignored by multitudes-thatr rivers bear
their own flood marks in the alluvial
plains by which they are skirted, and
that men occupy these plains at their
peril.-W. J. MCGEE in Forum.

No one who knew Hansbreugn when
he was in San Francisco twelve wears
ago ever dreamed he would fetch MP in
the United States senate. Hansbrough
filed the telegraph editors desk on The
Chronicle for many months, and he was
a rattling good editor of news, besides
being an expert on head writing. AT
that time the newspapers here got only.
a light telegraphic service, because the
overland wires were in poor condition
and the rates extremely heavy. Proba-
bly, 5000 words night was an average
report. Under these conditions it was
necessary to add any descriptive matter
that would supplement dispatch, and
also to make an attractive head Hans
brough was an artist in this kind of
work.
Once. when Alexander II made y
wholesale sweep of lot of nihilists,
shooting several and exiling the remain
der to Siberia, Hansbrough headed the
rather lurid report of Russian imperial
cruelty as ''Czar-Saparillar Work at a
desk, however. proved too monotonous
for Hansbrough, and finally. in 1879, he
conceived the idea of taking an educated
Chinese to the east on lecture trip
Hansbrough hired Hull. the most accom-
plished newspaper ''fakir'' on the coast,
who made Denis Kearney famous by
writing his sand lot speeches, to prepare
the lecture, and it was very entertain
ing one.
The east didn't bite as Hansbrough ex-
pected. and the lecture outfit went to
pieces somewhere between Chicago and
New York. Then Hansbrough went to
Iowa and started paper. When the
Dakota boom started he saw his oppor-
tunity, and now he is reaping the fruits
of it. He may not know as much about
law or parliamentary procedure as
many other senators. but there are few
in that body who have more general in
formation than Hansbrough.-St.L Louis

tically About the Portage Railway.
Morning Oregonian.
G. ]. Farley, superintendent of con-
struction on the Cascade portage rail-
way, was at the Perkins last night and
leaves this morning for his work up the
river. He said that there is every pros
pect for the work to go right along now.
The surveying will no doubt be COM
pleted by tonight. Continuing, Mr..
Farley said:
This survey is subject to the direction
OF the direction of the general govern
ment, which has already located the
line. The original stakes are now being
verified by set of lines run by survey
ors in the employ of the state. Tomor
row we shall get into the Atwell property
on the east end of the line. Here we
shall buy the right-of-way if they are
disposed to take reasonable price;
otherwise the right-of-way will be con-
demned and the road built anyway
the attorney general bringing suit for
the condemnation. There can be no
impediment in the way of the rapid
progress of the work from this time on.
After the survey is completed, the next
thing to do is build the trestles and the
wharves at each end, do the grading and
: lay the track.
The appropriation made, 500, 1000, will
be ample. The surveying will not cost
to exceed 5000. They ask $500 for the
right of way through the Atwell property.
Just what the trestles, wharves and
grading will cost cannot yet be deter
mined las the draughtsmen are still work
ing on it. There is no doubt, however,
that the appropriation will cover the en-
tire cost of building the road and equip
ping it in first-class style.
The advantages which will accrue
from this railroad can scarcely be over
estimated. 1t offers the best chance in
America of its kind for saving money to
the people. 1t will be capable of trans
ferring in the ten hours of each day all
the freight that four boats can bring to
it from above and four boats from below
can take away. This, / think, will pro-
vide for all the traffic now in sight.
There may be more freight than four
boats can handle if the portage above
The Dalles is built; in that case by add
ing to the rolling stock, we can increase
the working capacity of the road, and
provide for all requirements. In my
opinion there will thus be effected saw
ing of at least 80 per cent. in the cost of
transporting the wheat and wool pro-
ducts of the Inland Empire down the
Columbia to Portland. The road will be
completed in from seventy-five to ninety
days:
The portage railroad above The Dalles
has been surveyed, and its cost fully
equipped with No. rolling stock, would
not exceed $500, 900. 1t would be from
thirty-eight to forty-three miles long,
and its completion would give us virtu-
ally an open waterway up into the Snake
river. which will mean all !. the trade, or
at least the bulk of the trade, of the
Walla Walla country and other great
producing regions for Portland. / am
confident that if there is any kind of
crop at all the portage road now building
will pay for itself the first year.
