TIE SCKO0L BOOK La II.

T. B. Handley, attorney, ex-edl-
tor and il former experienced edu-
Gator of Tillamook, writes pointed
ly on the school book question as
follows:
"Among all the questions before
the Oregon Legislature theje is 10
other that can compare IN lnpor-
tance to the poor man with thai
of our school books. Under our
present system a single firm ID
Portland has an absolute El0nop-
oly. and books are sold at an enor-
NOUS profit, and sold too, to the
people least able to bear the bur
den. 1t costs a poor man more
for school books than for the tu-
ition of his children and at least
two thirds of that expense IS clear
profit to the state agent who eX-
torts it because he Is granted the
power to do so by the Legislature.
Go to any book store and you will
see books of history, poetry or
science. sold side by side with
school books and sold at less than
one third the price. A copy Of
Byron can be bought for 30 cents
and fifth reader for $1.10. The
Byron contains the most reading
matter, is On paper, with better
print and better binding, but hay
ing no "cinch' on the people it is
sold at reasonable profit, while
the other book is forced upon
buyers at enormous rates. w hen
a school history that can be pub
lished for II cents is sold to man
who is obliged to buy it for 1870
cents, the purchaser is actually
robbed or at least so cents of that
sum, and when the people Of Ore
gon bIy over one hundred thous-
and of these books they are rob
bed of 100000. So with all the
books, and it is safe to say that
the present school book monopoly
of Oregon is clearing half mil
lion dollars annually, above rea-
sonable profit on business"
mo wonder that they can have
takers and writers, and ncwspa-
pers, and perhaps members OF the
legislature creating a public senti-
menfin favor of the present sys-
tenn, but it seems to me that ev-
cry man who buys school booL
and then reflects moment Oh
where the high prices come from
must demand some measure Of re
lief from the-iaw-making power.
''It may not ba best for the
state to print the books, or it may
But it certainly is suicidal to trust
any man or firm with an exclusive
right for the sale of school books
in the state. Let the bookseller;
compete on an even footing and
we will buy all our school book;
for about one third of the present
prices"

THE governor Of Oregon appears
to be thoroughly mad. He seems
implacable in his bitterness toward
Cleveland. The Salem Journal
saw him in reference to his refusal
to allow the state cannon to be
used at the inauguration, and here
is the cranky result, ''The gov
ernor says he will court martial
any officer of his staff who would do
such a thing. 1t is asking too much
of him as commander in-chief to
have salute fired at the expense
of the state in honor of such man
as Cleveland. He says the bar
barians bow down to stock and
stones, but Oregon shall not CON
tribute to the idolatry of the stuff
ed prophet of Wall street while he
is governor of this state.''

THE CREIT NORTHERN.

Perhaps no railroad Of modern
times 50 fully illustrates American
push" an:l enterprise as the
building OF the Great Northern,
which was completed to its Puget
Sound terminus a few days ago.
The road was pushed over the
mountains at the rate OF 1000 to
900 feet & day, and lOT The past
two or three weeks The builders
have been hinGered by over three
feet OF snow. This work Went C0
with precision and certainty Of a
great army, Notwithstanding the
snow and cold. The road ira
verses wlljs ard soiituies unknown
to tourists aud s;g!It-sccrs, and the
work WAS pushed in both dlgeo-
lions until the builders n1et Fri
day night, January 9th, when the
last spike was driven. And not
only were the rails l2;1 down
at the rate Of nearly half mile
per day in frost and snow, bat a
wire car followed the locomotive
and unreeled Western Union
line, and an improviaed telegraph
station was formed at the end
OF each days work.
The manner Of the constiuc-
ton Of the road is gratifying also,
says the Inter Ocean, compared
with the history Of the Northern
Pacific. In the building Of the
| latter, Chinese laber WAS an I'M
portant and at that time regarded
! as an indispensable element. In
the construction OF the Great
Northern, however, Scand;navian=
and Irish did the greater part Of
the work and at fair compensation
the wages for common labor being
81 per day.
The immediate benefit of an
other great transcontinental route
will be felt by all the cities Of the
northwest as we'll rs by the rapid
| ly growing states OF the northern
Pacific coast. The element Q
competition will now enter more
and more in commerce with tht
coast states, and this in turn vii
be felt in the increased commerce
| between the east and the west
! Every great railroad and TELEGRAPH
line makes the solidity Of thf
United States more complete ant
tends to unity commerce, polite
and law.

vorably and there is no other pro-
position for the employment of

the proposed factory can Inanufac-
ture, to say nothing of the wheat

year before the proposed plant can
be put in operation and the con

successfully. The machinery
