The wreck of his home brought about
by Forests jealousy is still visible to
the eye, and passengers by the Hudson
river steamboats, may even now see the
half ruined and partially completed
baronial castle which Forrest built
upon the banks of the Hudson, some
thirty miles above New York, and
where it was his purpose to entertain
with true princely hospitality. The
building of the castle was an attempt
something like that of Alexander Du-
mas, who with his earnings from the
sale of monte Cristo," undertook to
erect near Paris a castle which he called
by the name of this great romance, and
which would have required the income
of duchy to maintain.
Had Forrest lived as he proposed do
ing, his earnings must have been very
great to have maintained the life he in
tended to live in this estate upon the
Hudson. Mrs. Forrest never saw it
after she left it. Although after eight
years litigation she won a victory over
her husband, yet victory in her case
was tempered with sorrow. AS she
grew old her heart softened toward
Forrest, and in her declining years she
only spoke of him in terms of endear-
ment, which suggested that her recol-
lections of him went back to the earlier
days when she was his bride and was
happy. Cor. Philadelphia Press.

order Of the Railroad Commission Re-
duciHg Freight Rates.

order Of the Railroad Commission Re-
duciug Freight Rates.
THE OFFICIAL ORDER TO MANAGER
KoEHLER.
In the matter of freight rates,
schedules and classificatiOns in force
on the lines of the Southern Pacific
company in Oregon, filed with the
board on May 20, 1891:
The above matter coming on for
final hearing, the board of railroad
commissioners Of thest of Oregon,
10 special session, held on Tuesday,
the 1lth day Of August, 1891, after
hearing the arguments of counsel
and the statements and showings
of the manager and that of the as
sistant general freight and passenger
lgent of the Southern Pacific com
pany and after being fully advised
in said matter makes and publishes
the following findings Of fact:
We find that the said freight rates,
schedules and classificatiOns, made,
used and employed by said COM
pany on its lines in the state of Ore
goD, are unjust and unreasonable,
and more than a fair compensation
for the services rendered or to be
rendered in the transportation of
freight on its said road la the follow.
Ing particulars, to wit:
First-The rates on livestock In
car loads.
Srcond-1he special rates on hard
and soft wood in car loads on. the
east-side division and on the Wood
burn-Springfield branch of said
road.
TnirI-The rates on lumber, lath
and shingles In car load lots.
Fourth-The special rates on grain,
flour, feed and mill stuff, and green
fruit in car load lots.
Fifth-The special rates on green
fruit and vegetables in less than car
load lots.
Sixth-The rates on flour, feed
and mill stuff in car load lots be-
-ween stations under class "C'' of its
classification and in conjunction
with its distance tariff as filed with
he board.
Seventh-The distance tariff rates
III lumber, lath and shingles i'm car
Dad lots and on livestock in car load
lots now in force and used in ascer-
aiming rates between any station on
hese commodities.
Eighth-The special distance tariff
rates on green fruit, vegetables, hard
soft wood on its east side division
and its Woodburu-Sprinlield branch.
Ninth-The special distance tariff
rates on green fruit and vegetables
IN its western division, its Portland
Il Willamette Valley railway and
narrow guage westside division.
Tenth-That the schedule iof
charg and rates, as revised and
modified by this board, are reasona-
ole and just rates for the services
rendered, or to be rendered, and
hat they constitute aud will yield
to said companya fair and just re-
turn for the services rendered or to
be rendered in transporting the
commodities named in said schedules
)ver the lines operated by The said
company Ia the state of Oregon.
Eeveuth-This finding classifies
manufactured articles of wood, such
IS sash, doors and blinds, in such
manner as to give it the same rate as
lumber in car loads.
You will therefore, at a day not
later than Sept, |, 1891, cancel and
iunul all rates, orders, tariffs, classi-
cations aud rules in force on your
lines in conflict with the above
tiudings, and put into force and
effect the schedules, tariffs an6
classifications as revised and modi-
fled by this board.

the contract Is an assumption that the sue

The street-railroad franchise asked for by
William Hollis, Abner Dobe and others, on
Seventh street to the Potrero. will ultimately
be favored by the committee, though the
matter was postponed for two weeks to note
what action the Legislature would take in
regard to electric power.
Mr.. Hollis said the matter of power had
not been decided upon. but the company
rather favored electricity, and Chairman
Taber announced that an electric road on
Seventh street would be objected to.
A long discussion was had on the merits
of a concrete base for basalt block pavement.
Several of the leading street contractors of
the city spoke against concrete and in favor
of hard sand base, for the reason that If
concrete is used and the blocks happen to be
Irregular, as will be the case inevitably, it
Will be impossible 20 make the surface even
and regular. Short blocks will have to be
bolstered up with sand to make them as high
as others, and in a short time they will settle
through the sand and then can never be
made even, because the higher blocks can
not settle. Blocks laid on hard sand base
and then tamped with gravel were argued
TO be the best.
Contractor Mcdonald, who made most of
the arguments against the concrete base,
said also in relation to bitumnous rock pave
ment that II Is an uncertain quantity. he
only wanted 10 caution the city, provided
such pavement were accepted. not to be
made the victim of a monopoly. The com-
pany claims patent on the material. and Is
now irving 20 settle whether it shall charge
20 cents or 30 cents a foot. Such a power in
the hands of monopoly would work great
hardship to the property-owners.
Ex-SuperylSor knOrp said it was unjust
discrimination to demand bonds Of the btu
minous rock PAYERS to keep the pavement
in repair for five years, unless a like bond is
required of the basalt block PAYERS.
The committee was of the opinion that
such bond is illegal, and tie provision re-
Quiring it will be stricken from the new
order.
