forty per cent. better physical condition than
when it passed to my charge. In view of the
fact that every article purchased had to be
bought on time, and no specified time at that,
it would have seemed useless to expect any
reduction in prices from dealers. In spite,
however, of these obstacles, an average saw
ing Of thirty per cent. has been effected in
the purchase of all supplies or on prices paid
prior to March 9Th. This even in the most
staple goods, such as nails and iron.
1t has been the settled opinion Of the
writer, and he feels that he but voices the
opinion of the public in the matter, that
what we all want is the reorganization Of the
road and its further extension and develop
ment. Believing that such a consummation
could only be reached by the purchase Of the
property by strong parties willing to 60 on
with it, and being positively assured by the
heaviest bondholders in the east that if they
could be convinced that the proposition was a
good one, and the road shown to be at least
self-supporting, they stood ready to buy it
and 20 on with it, the receiver bent every en-
ergy to place the property in as favorable
light as possible with these prepared
an exhaustive report on the road-supple-
mented il by several hundred photographs
Of the country, property and products and
spent the greater part Of a month in the east
using every argument and effort to induce
the security holders to take up the matter.
He found everywhere great Indifference and
evident inclination to regard the matter as a
dead horse. 1t was only with the greatest
| difficulty that he was able to arouse enthusi-
asm in the matter and when he left New
York no plan for the purchase had been
| agreed upon. Throughout all his state
| ments to these parties the receiver represent
ed that any plan for the purchase must con-
template the payment of the labor and ma.
terial claims. The receiver therefore take:
this public opportunity to deny in the mos
emphatic manner that he was in any way in
strumental in the making of the insufficient
bid of Dec. Is. He further desires to 90 OF
record as trusting that the court, whose serv-
ant he is, will not confirm such sale.
The property of the road if sold piecemea
at auction figures would bring twice th'
amount ofthe bid. See following statement

HE RUN THEM IN.

Night Officer McLagan is a public servant
who is surely doing his consistent duty. On
Tuesday night the city bastile contained
three ''drunks," who had been of more or
less annoyance to the public, at 10 o'clock at
night. He also relieved starving team of
horses that had been tied in the street near
Hemphill's harness factory since early in
the forenoon without either food or drink,
while their owner was enjoying (?) himself
in the various saloons of the town. This
young man halls from Philomath, is married
and comes from a good family Of high
standing, both here and in the east, whose
worriment on account of this wayward son
is of not little consequence. This young
man, who can easily be gentleman, ought
to tumble" to himself and save future
trouble, for shame's sake, at least.

THE COFFEE CLUB PARTY,

Next Thursday evening the ladies' cof-
fee club will give another of their charm
ing entertainments in the fremen's S hall
The enviable reputation deservedly gain
ed in the past assures success for them in
the present undertaking and the only
unfortunate feature is that the numb er of
invitations is limited to one for each of
the lady members. Those gentlemen
who so stand in favor of the ''fair' as to
be recipients of invitations may we'll
count themselves lucky. The committee
on program have so arranged that all
who attend will be sure to find an en- Joy
ment to their fancy. The evening will
begin with the presentations of w. D.
Howells' amusing little farce, "The I'm
expected Guests" which will occupy
about twenty minutes; after that the
company will be at their liberty to do
whatever may please them. Those who
take the principal parts in the farce are
Col. Robert Johnson, DR.. Bowen Lester,
Miss Leon Louis and Miss Hattie Friend
ly. Others of the players are Misses
Eda and Sarah Jacobs, Carl Kitchens,
Jessie Wagsoner and Hattie Gaines, and
Messrs. B. w. Johnson, E. E. Wilson
and Chas. Clark. During the evening
refreshments will be served and it is
expected that a cup of delicious coffee,
for which the club is noted, and cracker
will not be omitted

The receiver still hopes that the parties
who have attempted this purchase when
convinced that the court will not turn them
over property worth as railroad $500, 900
and as scrap $4OO, 900 for 100000 will ar
range to buy up at face value all outstanding
claims and more for the confirmation of the
sale. Should they fail in this the writer is of
the opinion that the last chance of selling
the road is gone and that to re-advertise and
wait another two months on the bare chance
of purchaser turning up would be mere
further expenditure of the time and patience
Of the employees. He would favor therefore,
that in such case, the court turn over the
road to the employees and material men as
the creditors most at interest, to be by them
operated or torn up and sold as they might
deem best. E. w. HADLEY.

AN ENGINEERS EXPERIENCE.
FROM SOUTH CHICAGO DAILY CALUMET.
SOUTH CHICAGO. October Z 1899


SOUTH CHICAGO, October 7, 1893.
EDITOR CALUMET: l desire to let the
people of this section know the great
benefit 1 have derived from the use
of Chmberlain's Pain Balm. 1 am an
engineer, and in filling my duties as such,
often become overheated, while the strain
on my engine is very great, and has caus-
ed me much suffering. These pains were
of such frequent recurrence, that feared
kidney trouble. Physicians could do moth
ing for me, and often, after catching cold
would be laid up and lose day or two's
work. About year ago 1 caught severe
cold and had to go to bed. The pain in
my back was terrible and 1 could get no
relief. sent to a drug store for some
kind of liniment and the druggist said
Chamberlain,s Pain Balm was as good as
anything. I had the Pain Balm we'll rub
bed in across the small of my back, then
wet flannel cloth and bound it across the
seat of pain. In few hours relief came,
the pain had vanished, and the next day
went to work and have not lost a day
since. Yours Resp, B. W. Bradley, En-
gineer. Pain Balm is for sale here by
Graham & Wells, druggists.

PAYMENTS TO EMPLOYEES, MARCH TO DATE.

It is believed that the regularity and
orsbly with the record OF the previous re-
ceiyer who turned over the road with pay
rolls ten months in arrears, amounting to
$127, 900. The more so when it is remem-
bered that all but the first $4,000 of the
amount was paid out of the earnings of the
road during period Of great financial de-
preston and not by the sale of certificates at
ruinous discounts which policy had resulted
during the twenty six months Of the pre-
vious administration in saddling the property
with debt in the shape Of receivers certifi-
Gates alone amounting to 100000.
It will be noted that the crew Of the steam
ship are paid in advance of others. The
earnings of the entire system depend SO en-
tirely upon the operation of the ship that it
has been necessary to keep them paid up
promptly to avoid the libelling and conse-
quent tying up Of the ship under the strin-
gent marine laws.
On assuming charge the present receiver at
once reduced the pay rolls of the company
over $75. 900 per annum by abolishing the
New York Office, dropping off useless Of
fcials and reducing force. Over 1000 of
this reduction was made in the general office
at Corvallis alone. Other changes and re-
ductions, which are shown in detail in my
report on the road, show that a total net an
nual saving in the items of salaries. rents,
etc., alone of over $1OO, 900, has been effected
by the present receiver.

A NIGHT ADVENTURE.

Somnambulism furnished a local sen
sation in the vicinity of Toledo last Sat
urday, when Miss Cora Mays, I6.year-
old daughter of Mrs. Sam Logan, arose
from her bed, donned an oil-cloth coat
and walked to the river, a distance of
about 100 yards from the house where
she entered a boat and rowed up the
river several hundred yards to the op-
posite bank, when, after setting the boat
adrift, she climbed the steep embank-
ment to the railroad track, bound her
hands and feet, then made her way for
nearly mile and fell to the earth, caus-
ing her to awake. Her distress, for she
was shivering with the cold, when she
awoke caused her to cry with pain and
the neighbors came to her relief by
taking her to her home. Their ar
rival was the first intimation the parents
had of the daughters absence. The fact
that she was found bound hand and foot
and in almost nude condition gave
credence to report that Miss Cora had
been the victim of abduction and crime
in consequence of which the woods and
surrounding country were filed with en-
ragged men in search of the supposed
perpetrators. Two tramps were arrested
at Summit, but after proving an alibi
were released, much to their satisfaction,
for they were surely in close quarters.
Miss Mays is quite an extensive novel
reader and it is presumed her recent
perusal of some thrilling romance had

MORSE FOUND GUILTY.
1T is DECIDED THAT HE DID AS
SAULT A LADY.
How the GaIen Institute Managers
Attempted 10 Avoid the Pay
ment Of n Bill Against
Them.

Business Manager Morse of the Galen
institute was found guilty of battery in
Judge Seaman's court yesterday after
noon.
Morse is the fellow who put his arms
around Mrs. J. r. Richards when she
called at his Office to collect bill. The
case was peculiar one.
Mrs. Richards testified that Morse
placed his arms around her shoulders,
and also cut her hand with an instru-
ment. Dr.Ellis and porter witnessed at
least apart Of the proceedings, but Of
tered no assistance to Mrs. Richards
when assaulted by Morse. She stated
hat both Ellis and Morse had at
snpted to evade her, and when she
yessed her claim Morse put his arms
,ronnd her in his attempt to take the
contract from her. She grasped an ink
bottle, the fret thing she could get hold
OF, to defend herself. Morse then
srasped the bottle, and in the struggle
she was cut. Morse's finger nails also
left their prints on the lady's hand.
George w. Knox, Morss's attorney,
attempted to make Mrs. Richards cay
that she was responsible for the articles
that have appeared in the newspapers
about the case. She gave him look
that would cause any lawyer to wish he
had chosen another calling, and denied
the uncalled-for insinuation of the attor-
ney. She said she respected the news-
papers.
Morse, when called to the stand, said
that he put his arms around Mrs. Rich
ards to defend himself, that she was
about to strike him with q pair OF
shears. His story was very flimsy,
about as much 80 as the attempt OF
Knox to besmirch the newspapers,
which, in the opinion of those present,
was unbecoming lawyer.
The court found Morse guilty and
sentence was postponed to l 80 O'Clock
this afternoon.

THE FIELD DAY,
Athletes Training for the Thanksgiving
Day Events.

Athletes Training for the Thank giving
Day Events.
Athletic park is crowded every day
with all of the prominent bicyclists
training for the races on Thanksgiving
day. Fox and McCrea are among the
crowd, as are Hall and Kitchin. Fay
Stephenson is also on board. II was re-
ported yesterday that he was wearing
three sweaters ia reduce some OF his
avoirdupois. Fay is evidently out for
several firsts, ond such display of self
sacrifice and earnestness of purpose ie
ample to cause the other "cracks" to re-
gard the pace maker with apprehension.
Fred Holbrook's leg is getting better,
but it is not known in how many races
he will ride this month.
Phil Kitchin has been improving with
the best OF them, and some creditable
East Slider.
Harry Cromwell will also be ready to
start with the crowd.
Alphone Jay also takes come spins
in the evenings. j. Phil. Per-
cival rode we'll in October, and
ii he rides in the coming races will sur
prise the favorites more than he did last
month. Thus far it is not known wheth-
er any of the northern men will be
down. 1t is to be hoped that some will
be here AID retrieve their section from
the defeat last July by L. W. Fox. The
Rivereider rode at the meet of the Bay
City Wheelmen and showed them what
kind of bicyclists this section produces.
1t is probable, however, even if the
northern wheelmen are not represented
that several runners will be down. If
there is one amateur runner in Southern
California for whom the sports are ready
to pin their faith and place their dollars,
it is @. V. Howard. Charley stated
yesterday that he has been unable thus
far to do any training, and would proba
bly, contne his running to the short dis
tancas.
