RUTHERFORD.

In the presence of number of citizens. who filled
the Council Chamber the Rutherford Borough
Council on Monday night spent five hours In con-
eidering on second reading the ordinance granting
an electric railway franchise to the Union Traction
COMPANY with the result that. with one important
and one minor exception the amended ordinance
is far more stringent than when introduced The
one important change favorable TO the company
was that instead Of paying 22 per cent yearly or
the gross receipts based on proportionate mileage,
to the borough, the company Is asked TO pay
per cent for the first five years and per cent there
after. After several Intellectual attempts to have
various provisions modified. Mr.. Copeland made a
strong protest against the percentage of gross re-
cetpts asked for. The concessions granted did not
seem to be satisfactory, and Mr.. Copeland left the
room. saying that he did not think 1t was of any
use for him to stay longer. 1t is almost certain
that the Union Traction Company will not accept
the ordinance II passed amended

IT is ESTIMATED AT 100000 ToNs-ooco MEN
AT WORK.
The recent spell of intensely cold weather has
been most favorable for the gathering OF the ice
crop This important harvest within the last few
years has caused New Workers great anxiety. for
ever since the Ice famine of 1880 the people in this
and adjoining cities have had lively sense OF what
Greater New-York would be in the summer without
ice The report that the ice crop for 1895 has nearly
been harvested and that there Is every prospect
for abundance OF Ice next summer will be hailed
with delight by every housekeeper and by every
sampler OF cooling drinks. In the last two weeks
10000 men have been engaged at different parts OF
the Hudson River between Rondout and Albany,
gathering the crop. AZ these men get anywhere
from 81 20 to g and 81 day. the Ice crop has been
q godseRd to thousands Of men who were out OF
work and who usually depend upon the ice harvest
to help them through the winter. Many OF these

In this city. whose occupation is entirely gone dur
ing the winter at least the demand for their labor
Is greatly diminished by the cold weather, and they
go up the Hudson and make few dollars by cut

living along the banks Of the river who are largely
dependent on the ice crop for money with which TO
buy fertilizers for their crops.
The river closed unusually late this year. but

storms have somewhat impaired the Ice crop. but
not enough 10 make any appreciate effect: In
the last two weeks the ice In the river has been

which is considered the most desirable thickness
for the New-York market. When Ice gets above
fourteen inches thickness II is too large for the

"IT'S AN I'LL WIND THAT BLOWS
NO ONE GOOD"

We used to deplore the mortgage tax
law, and we are still confident that the
aforesaid law is largely to blame for the
slow development Of the resources of our
great state. We have often questioned
the wisdom of the usury laws, and there
is much to be said in favor of leaving
the use of money to be regulated, like
the use of any other property, to compe-
tition. Because of the mortgage tax law,
loaning companies withdrew from Ore
gon almost entirely, and many farmers
and business men were badly crippled
by the lack of capital. Washington
farmers were able to borrow largely upon
farm lands, while Oregon farmers strug-
gled along with poorer improvements
and fewer appliances. But what was
our disadvantage is now cause of con-
graduation. We have few mortgages,
except such as are owned by residents
of the state; receivershipe in foreclosure
proceedings are seldom requested; we
have had hard struggle to hold ouI
farms and to secure the appliances with
which to cultivate them; we have had
to economize and pinch, but the lessons
of economy, SO unpleasantly taught, but
SO well learned, are worth more than all
the advantages of excessive borrowing.
The mortgage-tax advocates conferred
a benefit on the state, although in q
very different way than what they ex-
pected. They are deserving of no credit
but we may congratulate ourselves upon
our good luck in not having big mort
cages, beld by nonresident, and il
many cases insolvent mortgage com
panies, to distress US. Foreign capita
is good thing-an important thing il
a new country-but mortgages, as gen
eral thing, are a curse to farmers.

The MazAmas were promised perfect
weather by the Oregonian; but for once
a newspaper made a mistake. The all
important ascent of Mt. Adams yester-
day was badly hszed, and mirrors were
of little use, except for toilet purposes.
But if the expedition failed because of
want of weather, we are nevertheless
hopeful that the world will revolve the
same as ever. The campers were disap-
pointed, but the crops were lees dam
aged than they would have been under
a clear sky, and the world is as well off.

Il RETURN TO PRIMITIVE WAYS

Jefferson merchants haul their freight
from Doats at Salem. The people have
begun to realize that the country makes
the railroad instead of the reverse
Eugene Guard.
The people of the Willamette valley
are taking hold of the transportation
problem in the proper way. With such
river and country SO capable of MAX
ing good roads, every town along the
Willamette should have competitive
rates. The Guard is doing good work
in arousing the people to their oppor-
tunities. The Dalles has gone through
the experience, and knows that concen-
trated effort and unseltish work will ac-
complish what was deemed impossible.
Their line of boats stands as shining
example of what self help will do, and
reflects lustre on the citizens of this
town who made them possible. In an
other article the Guard says that the
Example of The Dalles should strength.

THE REDUCTION IN NSURANCE
RATES.

Insurance business in the Northwest
is topsy-turvy, and the com panies are
rushing pell nell to bind policy holders
to retain present policies, by conceding
to them a twenty per cent rebate. 1t
strikes the ordinary insurer that this is
about right, and the present rate should
continue. But this deduction is in no
sense out OF the kindness of the hearts
of the com panies, for corporations have
no hearts; the reduction is simply, and
only, for the purpose of holding alive
present policies and to head off the war.
But the war is here, and is expensive to
the agents and temporarily expensive to
the insurers; but, like all wars, it is
finally to be paid for by the insured.
The losses now sustained will soon be
recovered, and the patrons viii foot the
bills. 1t would be much better for all
concerned if such fights could be avoided.
In view of the present water supply
and efficient fire department, The Dalles
is entitled to permanent reduction IN
rates; but we fear this uproar among
the companies will have an opposite
tendency.

Everybody that comes from the Cas-
cades Locks gives the same cheerful re-
port. Over 400 men are at work, forty
of whom are on the night shift. The
upper bulkhead is being removed and
when this is done the whole undertaking
will seem to an inexperienced eye
nearly completed. A bridge will be
built across the canal, instead of the
bulkhead to allow the cars to pass from
one side to the other. Every bit of work
that is done now counts. 1t is said that
several transportation lines are looking
with eager eyes toward the trade of The
