Why Nor Under the heading why
Not Build the o. P. D" the Ochoco Review
says: 1t is stated by Union Pacific off .
cials that it will require an expenditure
of nearly e., 900, 900 TO repair the damages
done the property OF that company by
the recent floods, and that about two
thirds of the amount will be required TO
rebuild the road between The Dalles and
Portland. II this estimate is correct it
looks like folly for the company when it
can build a road for less money and over
more direct route which wou'd make
equally good connections, and besides,
would open up comparatively new coun-
try for a distance Of 200 miles. From
| Huntington to the foot OF the Cascades,
over the proposed line Of the Oregon Pa
cifc, the expense of building a railroad
would not be nearly so great as building
one down the Columbia, and when once
completed the cost of keeping it in repair
would be very light. On the other hand
the cost OF keeping the road in repair
down the river will always be very great
More than this, road through thiI
country would have monopoly of th'
local traffic. whereas road down thu
Columbia will, as soon as the locks ar,
con pleted, be in competition with rive
traffic. With all these advantages il
favor OF road through this section, i
does not seem reasonable that the Uniol
Pacific will overlook them.

Congress appropriated Sl65, COO, 600 for

then Commissioners of Pensions, estimated

there is instead about $4,000. 600 surplus

This Pullman company is hydra headed
monopoly anyway. The charges are exorb-
liant. While you can get first class hotel
accommodations for 81 day Pullman
charges you about $4 day. For table
board at hotel you get as good for
so cents as you pay 75c and $t.00 on
Pullman. Pullman, in addition to this
pays his employees merely nominal wages
and they bleed travellers for fancy tips.
Every victim must pay 25 cents to $l.00 or
no favors are received, and the practice is a
part of the system. Everything about it is
cinch, and it is no wonder Pullman is a
millionaire. Railroads are peculiarly public
institutions, and the time is coming when
laws will be passed that will muzzle them
and their accessories and bring them to
time. The Man about Town doesn't get
time to travel, but he has feelings fordthose
who do.
The minister who felt like an angel
while riding his bicycle probably never
