To Repair Damages.

OMAHA, June 19-Today 1t was an
nounced at Union Pacific headquarters
that one of the first problems Mcneil
will have to solve will be the repairs to
the read between Umatilla and Portland,
a distance of 1877 miles, which has been
damaged by the recent high waters in
the Columbia. It is thought the re-
celver's first action will be to insure
RECEIVERS certificates tor the repairs of
the system, which 1t is estimated, will
cost anywhere from $1.000,00o, to
1000 600, these certificates to become
a first lien upon the property.

The Oregon Navigation.

CHICAGO, June 1S-In railway circles
it is believed that E. Mcneil, general
manager of the Iowa Central, is soon to
become receiver of the Oregon Railway
s. Navigation Company. Mr.. Mcneil
was at Union Pacific headquarters today
and left for Portland this evening. He
carries with him q bound volume of
orders made in the Union Pacific case, in
order probably to famllarize himself
with the duties of receiver, and the
action by the circuit court In multi
city of matters brought to it's attention
Dy the receivers of the Union Pacific.
While nothing is known at Union Pacific
headquarters regarding the intention of
the bond and stockholders of the Oregon
Railway g. Navigation Company, it is
thought bill asking for a separate re-
ceiver will be filed July /. the day
default in the payment of interest takes
place on the part of the Union Pacific.
1t was decided to file the bill juno 10,
but conditions arose which prevented
the contamination of Doughterty and
Cooks recommendation, and the high
water in the Columbia country may have
had something to do with the withhold
ing of the bill till July /. It is ex.
pected however, that Mr.. McNeil's visit
west ut this time will have very much
to do with the appointment of an
Oregon Railway g. Navigation receiver.

The situation Serious.

MOUNT OLIVE, ILL.,, June 1s-rhe
minIng situation here il now assuming q.
serious and threatening aspect. The 7th
Regiment, I. N. e., arrived this atter-
noon. It is here to assist the United
States marshalls in arresting unruly
miners, who for the past week have
been conducting things with such high
hand, stopping freight trains, breaking
car seals, and when coal was found, not
permitting it to be carried through the
city, but unloading it and taking it
home. Saturday night United States
Marshall Brlnton and his assistante made
an effort to arrest the guilty persons, but
to no avail, for they were surrounded by
the angry miners and forced to release
their prisoners. Owing to the presence
of the militia, however, this evening the
guilty parties are being arrested when
found.

THE PATENT OFFICE BIDS.

1t is interesting to examine the bids made
to the Patent Office for the printing Of the
Gazette and drawings for the coming year.
The Norris Peters firm had had practical
monopoly of the work for many years-up to
last year-when another lithographing COM
pany made lower bid and got it.
We say the new company made lower bid;
what they actually did was to offer to do the
work for a lower price than the Norris
Peters Company. The offer of the latter was
s155, 900, not including the new feature intro
duced in the Gazette of printing the expired
patents. The entire charge under the con-
tract of the National Lithographing Company
was S144, 500.
The new bids show surprising state Of
affairs. The Norris Peters Company offer to
DO the work this year for s95, ,731, or over
$4,000 less than they bid last year for less
work This bidding shows that there must
have been immense profits in the work here
tofore, especially during the time the Norris
Peters Company had a monopoly of it.
We presume tnat the S95 900 bid is q legiti-
mate one, and that it covers the whole work
to be done; If not, We can see where the COM
pany proposes to recoup itself. 1t is well.
however to examine into the matter closely.
for the difference between the bids made-the
largest being over 1000 above the smallest
bid-leads to the inference that either bad
figuring has been done or else there is an
African concealed among the lithographing
stones.
But, Of course, the Commissioner OF Patents
needs no advice in this matter.
