House Warming"
The work Of soliciting subscriptions
for the Motor Railway, the construc-
tiOn Of which is contemplated by the
Salem Labor Exchange, is moving
along nicely, with most satisfactory
results TO those at the head OF the
movement. Meetings have been held
throughout the valley the past week,
and liberal contributions have been re-
ceived from the different valley towns.
The Exchange has been assured
pledges Of labor and material suffi-
cient to complete the road to Mehama
within ninety days, after work co M
mences. Work begins when arrange
mentscan be made whereby iron mate-
rial necessary for the construction of
the road, can be provided for. Salem
people will be expected to subscribe
for this part OF the material, for the
road, and we should do all we can to
promote such valuable enterprise.
With Salem, the central market for
all products of the Waldo hills and
the .Santiam country, times will be
improved not little.
At Stayton last evening nearly $1,000
in labor, material, cattle, etc, was sub
scribed, besides grain and other horse
feed. Hon. David Craig has granted
the Exchange right OF way across his
large farm, as have also all who have
been asked such privilege, with the
exception of very few. Grain and
meat are much needed, IN carrying
on the work Of the Exchange. Checks
are given in return for all cOntribu-
tions, to be redeemed in traffic over
the road when completed. McCrow &
Steusloff, the Commercial street
butchers, have offered a considerable
quantity OF meat for the Exchange.
Mr.. Ryan will hold a meeting to-
night at Shaw, when the citizens of
that neighborhood will complete
their subscriptions to the new road

asked
THE open cars are now in readiness

in a moments notice. OF course, they

The following open letter from Mr
Manley. on pending congressional leg
islation will be read with great inter
est Mr.. Manley is deeply interested
in his opposition to the bill:
The Arlington,
Washington ID. c.. March &c, 1886.
Mr. Walter ID. Stinson, Augusta. Maine
My Dear Sir: In answer to your let
ter permit me to say that | have been
doing everything in my power to pre-
vent the passage of the so-called Loud
bill. DR.. John +. Hill was here several
days ago and rendered very valuable
service in explaining to many members
of Congress the Objectionable features
of the bill. The entire Maine delega-
ton are deeply interested in it's defeat
and our congressman. Mr.. Milliken,
has been laboring in season. and out of
season, to prevent the passage of this
bill. The bill if it should become a
law, would work great Injustice
throughout the country and especially
to the State of Maine. 1t is framed
upon wrong basis. namely. that tn.
poStoitice department should be self
supporting.
The public desire the most efficient
postal service that can be obtained
regardless of its cost AS matter Of
course they want il economically ad-
ministered, but they want the most su
perior postal service that can be fur
nished, and they are willing to pay for
it. This bill. if it becomes a law,
would strike a blow at every county
and state paper in this country. outside
of the great city papers. and ii could
not render any benefit to these organs
1t would compel every small neWspa-
per before depositing its mail matter
in the postoflice to separate the same
in the United States mail sacks for all
cities. towns and counties at its own
expense. thus putting upon them 4
burden of a clerical force to do mail
work. which belongs to the postohice
department to perform and pay for.
1t would largely curtail the circulation
of newspapers and periodicals. and
thus injure materially the paper trade.
and the pulp trade, which is such a
great industry in Maine 1t would
greatly reduce the work done in the
great establishments devoted to publ
cation of periodicals and necess. rily
throw many people out Of employment,
in the printing and the paper trades
and | can see no corresponding benefit
to any one.
Inasmuch as the bill SO seriously ar
fects the interests of Maine and Au-
gusta | shall give to its defeat all the
time | can command. consulting with
members of the House of Representa-
tiVeS from every section. and pointing
out to them the grave defects of this
bill. The bill is very vigorously urged
by large class of people who believe
that 1t Will in some way aid the early
adoption of one cent letter postage
which to my mind is delusion and a
snare. They are pouring letters from
every section of the country to the
senator's and members urging its pas
sage for this reason.
What will be the ultimate fate of the
bill it is early to predict. but you can
rest assured that every effort is being
made to thoroughly explain the details
of the bill and to point out its objec-
tions to our national lawmakers. |
am, Sincerely yours,
J. H. MANLEY.
