peace and first in the hearts of his coun-
trymen." The choir sang again and the

MIR. Cabaniss strongly opposed a contin-
uance on the ground that there had already
been one postponement, and the defense

NEW COMPETITION.

VIII Probably Be Extended Be-
fore Long to Eureka.

The good example set by the North
American Navigation Com pany is already
having its effect on other steamship CON-
panies.
The Oregon Pacific Railroad Company,
which only q short while ago superseded
the Oregon Development Company, Is about
to branch out and put forward every effort
to secure genuine competition between this
port Portland. Southern Oregon and North
ern California.
The company operates lines OF railroad
between Portland, Albany, Corvallis and
4aquina City, respectively. and also steam
ers touching at the latter port,
Rates have recently been reduced, and
the steamer Willamette Valley will pro baby
be supplemented by another vessel, which
will result in the establishment Of regular
line OF steamers in competition with the
Union Pacific line from here to Portland.
For years San Francisco merchants have
been steadily losing their hold on the trade
fornia.
Under the new rates of the Oregon Pacific
steamship line goods can be shipped from
San Francisco to any part of Southern
Oregon for the same price as the Southern
racine charges on merchandise from Port
lard to Albany, distance of 10 miles.
