FRONT STREET CABLE To Run.
settlements Expected Today-Disputed
Aeeonnk Was the Cause.

Aeeonnf AS the Iausr
The wheels Of the Front Street Gable
Railway company's cars did not move
yesterday. the cable was dead and 81
lence reigned at the power house, in
consequence Of the seizure OF the prop
erty To satisfy judgment obtained by
the Wasslburn-Moen Manufacturing
company in July last. 1t was stated by
the cable company's attorneys late yes
feniay afternoon that negotiations are
fin progress for settlement of the mat
ter today. and IL is likely that the road
viii resume operations as early as this
afternoon and not later than tomorrow.
Deputy Marshal Quilter has a keeper
in charge OF the road and does not in
tsnd 10 at once advertise 1t for sale but
ne will wait few days as he believed
a settlement of the claim might be eff
fected.
The unsatisfied judgment which
caused the road 10 be tied up was OBJ
fained in the circuit court I'm this city
I'm July and amounted 10 s5755 "a. to-
gether with six per cent interest and
si74 costs. The Gain was based on
two twelve-months notes for s2339 %
and s42sss2 dated March and April S,
1893. respectively The defense was that
the two cables furnished by the Wash
burn-Moen company did not fulfil the
guarantee. the one on the North Seattle
line being worn out after 337 days,
when II should have lasted 375 days
and the one on the southern end being
a wreck In 25s days. though the previ-
Gus one lasted $50 days. For these rea-
sons the cable company refused TO hon
or the notes and asked the court to
grant rebate OF s735.16. Judgment was
given the Washburn-Moen company for
S5755.74
The order OF the court under which
Deputy Marshal QuIlter seized the road
instructed him 10 take into his custody
all other real estate. buildings. etc.
which the company has acquired since
July 3d. 1894. provided the money de-
rived from the sale OF the road was not
sufficient to satisfy the judgment. The
marshal is required by the order to re-
port To the circuit court February II.

ENGINE WRECKED By SLIDE.
Great Northern Overland Badly Hit
and One Man Injured.

and One Man Injured.
Five miles this side of Everett, near
Muckilteo the Great Northern overland
train was struck by heavy landslide al
10 O'Clock Monday night. John johnson.
who, with several others, was stealing a
ride was severely injured and is now al
Providence hospital. The Great Northern
officials said yesterday that the delay OF
the train was due TO a little mud slide. -
but according 10 Johnson the accident was
not such small affair as the officials
would have the public believe.
Johnson said yesterday that he was
stealing ride with three other men on
the blind end Of the baggage car next TO
the engine. When five miles this side of
Everett one side OF the engine sank down.
though Johnson thought that the slide
might have struck the engine and thrown
1t off the track. Then engine, tender and
express car found a resting place in the
ditch. johnson was thrown some little dis
lance, struck the tender and was dragged
several feet. johnson said that the tender
and the engine seemed TO be badly wreck
ed. His companions, so far as he could
learn, escaped without injury.
johnson is shingle weaver. and has
been idle for about a month. His left leg
is crushed. and he is otherwise more or
less injured.
At an early hour yesterday morning n
special train went to the scene OF the
wreck and returned at 10 a. m with the
passengers. who. 1t is said. received quite
a shake-up when the slide struck the
train. 1t was impossible to get at the
facts from this end Of the line but one
passenger reported that the engine was
badly smashed
The slide was cleared away some time
yesterday afternoon.

THE COMING ELECTION.

On the FIRST Monday in Decem-
Der, the citizens Of Lebanon will be
called upon to elect officers for the
ensuing year. The officers last
year have served the city to the
best Of their ability. The ensuing
year will be trying one on both
the city and its officials. There
will be bills and no money to pay
with. Good 6nanciering VII be
necessary. The council will have
disagreeable duties to perform and will
receive many kicks for pay. 1t is a
thankless job at best. But some one
will here to serve and the very best
are needed now. The question Of
bonding the city may be brought up.
This is no time 10 divide on politics,
religion or temperance. Let men of
thorough business qualifications be
elected, and then let the people sustain
them in their efforts on behalf Of the

from double taxation. The Re
view has fought the battle ofthe
people upon this question for years,
and proposes to see that all that
honest effort can do will be done
in order to get the Legislature to
act in the interest Of the plain
penpie of the land, to use a favorite
expression Of Abraham Lincoln
In Douglas county, there is but
one opinion upon this subject, and
evary candidate for the Legislature
gave his written pledge to work
for the re.enactment ofjust laws

The agricultural depression may
have some beneficial results in Ore
gon. Men will be driven to great
er and more diversified exertions.
Agricultural lands will be put to a
greatef variety Of uses. Other re-
sources will be more energetically
developed. Already ''hogs" are
much talked Of. Oregon should
produce all the hog products, dairy
products, and poultry and eggs it
consumes. The fruit industry is
coming to the front. Except for
early fruits, California can not
compete successfully with Oregon
in the territory north and east Of
here. Oregon fruit is wonder to
all eastern beholders. The best
efforts will make this st.te second
to very few in the union for fruit.
Oregor's mineral wealth il vast,
almost illimitable. 1t is being de-
veloped as never before. The rug
ged but rich mountains and can
yons Of Eastern and Southern Ore
gon contain untold millions, that
capital labor will produce and pour
out into the channels Of commerce.
Lumber, fish, livestock and vari-
GUS other products, will swell the
ever grandly increasing total as
the yeara pass. There is no better
field for money and muscle, brains
and industry, than 0regon.-E

The monster petition gathered
by the San Francisco Examiner
against the extension Of time for
the payment OF the Southern Pa
cific railroads Indebtedness to the
government will bring the govern
mental control Of railroads to the
front as leading question at the
next session Of congress. There
should be but one opinion among
the people regarding the indebted
ness Of this company to the gov
ernment. The debt should be paid
or the road sold. As to whether
the government should bid it in is
a momentous issue upon which
there is much to be said on each
i.side. But there can he only one
decision as to the necessity Of the
government enforcing all its legal
claims and at the first opportunity.
It requires no argument to dem
onstrate that the owners never did
and do not now intend to Eeep
faith with the government. Then
why parley with them? Forclose
the mortgages.-Portland Sun.

WHAr the state needs most of

WHAT the state needs most of
anything in the way of legislation,
is a law regulating railroad freight
rates. For years past, or even
since the Southern Pacific Com
pany obtained control Of its lines
in Oregon, that corporation has
taken all the profit there was in
farming, for carrying the farmers
products to market. This fact is
SO plain and indisputable that
argument is not necessary to
establish it. For instance, it has
cost about eighteen cents bushel
to ship wheat from Rosebbrg TO
Portland, until recently a slight
reduction was made, the price be-
ing SO low that the company pro-
badly thought it a good idea to
allow the farmer to keep enough
back to pay for his sacks, other
wise no grain might have been
shipped. These rates should be
cut in two BY the legislature,
which has full power to do so. In
the middle western states the
question Of railroad fares and
freight enters largely into the
election of members of the legis-
iature, and it is high time the same
thing was agitated here. 0fcourse,
the present Legislature willbe DOM
mated by Joe Simon, and the
Southern Pacific Company's inter.
ests are safe, but two years later
the monopoly should be given a
black eye. If the press of the
state will begin the agitation now
and keep it up, the people will
rule in the session og '97.-Rose-
burg Review.

The great contest that will be
