Railroad Rumbles.

Gen. Thos. T. Taylor, of Lake
Charles, attorney and representa-
tive of the Lake Charles, Watkins
and Gulf Railway Company, was
in Colfax on Monday and Tuesday
last, expecting to meet the commit
tee OF this parish that were to have
met in Colfax on the 10th, but
which failed to assemble on that
day. We regret this very much, as
it showed rather lack of interest
in the matter, although Gen. Tay-
lor expressed himself as pleased
with the efforts made thus far. He
said he would come back again
soon, when he would have moro
time to look over the field and
seemed to have great confidence in
our meeting all the requirements
in due time.
Up to this date only about three
hundred names have been secured
to the railroad petitions, and it will
require nearly five hundred names
before the election can be ordered.
There is very little doubt about Sc
curing the requisite number to or
der the election, but the result of
the same is of course debatable, as
great many persons will oppose
the levying of the insignificant tax
under the false idea that it Will in
jure them. These are the sort of
people who hold a nickle SO close
to their eyes that they cannot see
a dollar two feet away.

from any corporation without first as
sessing its value and rendering pay
ment therefor. While this decision is
not rendered in an official way, yet
presuming from it the result Of Htiga-
tion with the company it is reasonable
to conclude that no effort will be made
to put the law in operation.
There is only one certain relief for
the people of the Inland Empire from
exorbitant rates of transportation and
that is by an open river. Now that the
locks at the Cascades are nearing COM
pletion the northwest must use every
effort possible for the construction of
the ship railway between this point
and Cello. This, with the Cascade
canal, will make uninterrupted navi-
cation of the Columbia river for hun
dreds of miles, and will reduce the cost
of carriaga to the minimum. Aportage
railway will not answer this
purpose, as that will require the
same handling of goods as is
now necessary. Acts of legislature
regulating freight rates are intended
for the relief of producers; but they
are liable to be faulty in construction
and dilatory in their operation, and
the certain and effectual remedy for
excessive freight tariff is by water
competition. The Dalles and vicinity
in less than year will have an open
river to the sea, and will be liberated
from the control of railroad monopoly.
When the ship railway is finished
Eastern Oregon will have an open and
dntrammelled highway to the ocean.
and, however much the people may de-
sire it, the shackles on the farmers
and producers will not be loosened un-
til boats can load with products at the
highest navigable waters of the Colum-
bia and transport the same to tide
water without breaking cargo.

EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGE.
Issued by a Free-Thinker to a Christian
Woman.

DALLAS, June 6.-Free-Thinkers
hall was inadequate to cow eniently
hold those who listened to John K.
Carlesworth's infidel lecture last night,
| and it was the occasion of one of the
most unique challenges upon record.
The lecture was entitled, rs There a
God?" The speaker claimed that
while there might be one, there WAS
no actual evidence to prove it. He
went over the ground from the early
histories and records to the present
day, and claimed that in the economy
of nature there was no necessity for a
god.
At the conclusion of the lecture,
Mrs. Sweeney, president of the Dallas
W. G. T. u, arose and asked the lee
turer if he would give her his name
that she might pray for him, and if he
felt his heart touched, he was to make
a public admission of the fact, as he
had of his unbelief in Deity.
Secretary Paget, of the Free-Think-
ers' Society, arose and asked Mrs.
Sweeney if she would accept his name,
saying that he, like the lecturer,
doubted the existence of God. All he
stipulated was time limit. He did
not want to wait until he was dead, as
they might say he made a death re-
cantation. The time limit was set at
three months. Mr.. Paget further stip-
ulated that if at the end of the three
months he and Mr.. Carlesworth, or
either of them, had not made public
confession, Mrs. Sweeney is to admit
that there is no efficacy in prayer, and
that God is failure and does not
exist. To this Mrs. Sweeney agreed,
and lecturer and secretary signed
this very extraordinary challenge.
