The o. Z. s E. r. R.

Below is an extract from letter writ
ten by A. B. Hammond, the owner of
the o, c. & E. r. r. 1t was published
in the Corvallis Times of Wednesday
last, from which paper we clip it, and 1t
contains valuable information about the
road. Mr.. Hammond says:
"The Southern Pacific does not own
single share of stock in the Oregon
Central & Eastern Railroad Company.
The fact that we have already expend-
ed a large amount of money in the
building of bridges ard other better
ments on the Oregon Central & Eastern
should be sufficient proof to show that
the road was going to be operated on it's
merits, and as comp reting line.
Myself and associates invested our
money in this property, supposing that
the proposed lmpro. ements at Yaquina
would be carried out as recommended.
If they are to be abandoned now we will
be greatly disappointed, as the Oregon
Genital & Eastern Railroad, under the
present conditions of the bar at Yaquina,
cannot be proltably operated as COM
peting line, l: the jetties at Yaquina are
not completed as planned, the road may
eventually pass uLder the control of the
Southern Pacific to be used by them as
a feeder, as It's present owners may not
care to operate it under the Improbable
conditions that have prevailed since they
came into possession of the property.
The one hundred and forty-one miles
o. road now in operation is in very good
condition, and if the work at Yaquina is
finished as originally intended, the road
will no doubt be extended across the
mountains into Eastern Oregon, and will
develop vast agricultural country that
is now almost inaccessible and make it
tributary to'the Willamette Valley.
] regret that | will be detained here for
the next eight or ten days, but | will be
ready later on to cooperate with your
delegation in congress IN furthering this
enterprise in any way that lies in my
power"

1t is surprising that any man
"clothed and in his right mind"
can advocate the doctrines of the
silverites. All the facts of history,
all the experience of finance, is
against their teachings. Like causes
will produce like effects, always.
I Why should we believe that free
coinage will accomplish now for us
what it failed TO accomplish in the

Fire.

Tom was Is years old and had been in
the office about one year, when a fire
bro Ike out in the town on one bitter cold
Saturday night in January The ther-
mometer registered 80 degrees below
zero There were 3 hand engines in the
town and almost every young man in
town was fireman; so Of course Tom
and all the young men in the Office be-
longed to an engine company, and all to
the same company. 1t was a manufac-
tu,lng town and growing rapidly and this
night whole block of frame buildings
was burned and it was only the heroic ex-
ertions Of this little band of firemen that
prevented the destruction of the whole
town. Water fruze in the air before it
fell, and every article of clothing on the
firemen was frozen SO stiff that they
could hardly move in them 1t was a
fearful night. About midnight, when the
fire was under control, MIR. Innis came
to the engine where we were with a demi-
john of brandy and glass, and to each
man at the brake he gave a drink of
brandy; they all took it till he came TO
Tom, and he politely refused it. MIR.
Innis seemed annoyed at his refusal, and
sid: "Take it, man; you need 1t, and it
will perhaps save you fit of sickness; it
will not harm you'll" "fIo sir" replied
Tom firmly. 81 do not need il, and
won't take it!' Inn;s walked away from
him. and was undoubtedly vexed, and so
was /, standing beside him; so angry that
| called him a fool. Innis was the head
man OF the concern for whom we worked,
and had done great II ings for Tom.
He had taken him-a street Arab-into
the office, and was educating and pro-
noting him as fast as he could, and il
required the courage of hero for Tom
TO say no TO him; but Tom had it, and
sai.' no; and that is the chief reason why
Tom was afterwards mayor cf the city,
and candidate tor governor OF the state,
while the fellpw who called HIM a fool
was not. l expected he would be dis
charged, but he wasn't; and in a conver-
sation about it afterwards he said that his
father died drunkard, and he promised
his mother he would never touch a drop
of liquor, of any kind, during his life.
Fifteen years after that night. Tom had

business ten times as great.

There is no question about the
shortage of beef cattle in Oregon,
and we are reliably informed that
the large utchers and packers in
this city are now contemplating
shipping beef cattle from the East
for their spring trade. This country
has been secured from one end to
the other for feeders the last six
months or more, and they have
completely stripped this country of
everything that will make beef for
the next two years, ard shipped
east to be fed on the cheap corn
there, and to be returned to us as
finished products. 1t may have
been a good thing for breeders to
sell their feeders this year, as feed
of most all kind is very high here;
but this thing is not likely to keep
up, and in the future we are more
than likely to have plenty of cheap
feed and nothing to feed it to. If
farmers would practice rotation of
crops in the Willamette valley in
stead of summer fallow, we could
raise enough feed to supply this.
market and have plenty left to fat

can be raised here, and thereby

NKSGTVI.t q.

Thanksgiving day has come and
gone, and to many, perhaps most of
the people in thes United States, it
had a broader significance than
ever before. One year ago the
people were hopeful that the polit
ical change would bring about bet
ter times. but the realization has
surpassed their fondest hopes, ami
q brighter future seems in store
for us all. There is but one source
of danger threatening our future
and it is the old one: the danger of
factions threatening good legislation,
or ciamoring for bad. Money al
ways hides when it is confron$e
with any kind of danger, surely we
have had experience enough to
prove that fact; and when it hides
all business ceases, and all values
are destroyed. 1t would make no
difference whether our money was
silver or gold this would happen;
the rich would take care of them
selves and the poor would suffer.
A faction in party is always COM
posed of spoilsmen who are reckless
about any result that will bring
them the offices, so faction of
the democratic party is now clam
moring for free silver as it once did
for free trade. Either would be
destructive, but free silver would
be ruinous We will never have
free coinage of silver, and very few
of its advocates expect it; but the
free silver party have no other
issue to hang together on, and they
hope to rake in ignorance and r,ck-
lessness enough to win. The mis-
fortune is that this agitation, still
threatening values, has a tendency
to paralyze business enterprises,
and keep money hid until the agi-
tation ceases. Why will honest
toiling men be hoodwinked and
bamboozeled in this matter by office
hunters? If you understood the
free silver proposition you would
not vote for it. Then why will you
vote for thing you do not under
stand, at the bidding of any one?
Isn't it pretty good idea to put
money-gold money-in your purse
in the old way, without taking
desperate chances by voting for
something you know nothing about;
to produce results that even Mr. |
Bryan says will be disastrous for
years. Let us all see if we can't |
keep our senses for another twelve
months; vote for what we know by
is good, spit upon cant,
double dealing and self seeking in
politics, and see if we cant approach
next Thanksgiving with as grateful
hearts as we did the last.

ga TIMELY WORD,
To the Bread Winner of the
Family in Behalf of His
Loved Ones at Home.

The TACT is now so generally admitted it
needs no argument 10 convince those upon
whom the duty rests, that life insurance is
the best protection for mans family, his
estate AGO his old age. The question with
most men is, what form of policy will best
discharge the duty and in what company
to place so sacred trust.
The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
company offers to persons needing insur-
ace an insurance policy of the most
definite character perfectly adapted to all
legitimate wants, conceived and admin
istered in perfect equality, guarded by
ample and undoubted security, at the
lowest cost that economy and good man

absolute and perptual safety

iums paid becomes by it's own terms and
without surrender, fully paid up for an
amount each year stated in printed table
upon the policy.
20, ~, 80, etc., years, may be surrendered
for cash sum stated in table printed
in the policy.
A policy participating in the surplus
earned which there are no stockholders to
share, so that each members insurance
costs him only just what it costs the COM
pany.

economically, conservatively and success

The assessment and taxation
laws of Oregon are crude, unwield-
ly and in many respects unjust.
Legislation on this matter is the
crying need of the State. The great
obstacle TO its proper adjustment
heretofore, has been that the needs
of Multnonlah county are not suit
able to other parts Of the state;
but that will have to be overcome
in some way, for the demands of
people throughout the state for
proper legislation on assessment
and taxation must be heard.

One of the best signs of the times
is, that from all p,rts of the Union
we hear of the wages of laborers
and mechanics being raised vol
UNFAIRLY by their employers. Just
as fast as the business warrantss it
wages are raised, and this never
happened in any country but Ameri-
ca. AS men are not angels, nor
actuated by an unselfish angelic
spirit, the cause for this voluntary
raise may be attributed to labor
organizations and strikes. But
whatever the cause, the fact re-
mains that America sets the pace
for the world in this as in all other
forward movements of the race.
