New York, April THE Journal of
Commerce this morning says that a
representative of the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company arrived yesterday and
admitted that negotiations for a sale
were in progress, but said none had
yet beer made. The same paper thus
summarizes the situation:
1.-THE Standard Oil company with 9TH
ers has acquired controlling interests
in the Boston & Montana, the Butte
& Boston and the Parrot companies,
but the consolidation has been delayed
by the action of the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company, which has brought
many lawsuits tending to prevent q
consolidation. 1t has been alleged that
the Montana Ore Purchasing company
has taken it's action because it was
not offered satisfactory price by the
promoters of the consolidation, and in
fact it is admitted that if the company
gets its price, litigation will be drop

Tammany Insulted.

There is gnashing of teeth about our
local Tammany hall. Jesse Spencer,
chief o. the Tammanyites, has with great
care, expense. and the exercise of rare
knowledge of high art, acquired fine
collection of Photographic gems. These
are subject to examination and the con-
sideration of waiting patrons and afford
much pleasure. Jesse takes much pride
in his album and his wrath became
boundless the other day when he dis
covered that some person had given him
and his associates an irretrievable affront
by placing in his collection the photo
graph of noted dame of questionable
repute. The chief adjusted his spectacles
to become satisfied that he had not been
deceived and then raised the flood-gates
OF invective. He exhausted the frofane
vocabulary of nine languages and sat
down to weep bitter tears because of his
incapacity in that line of endeavor.
Presently calmer mood possessed him
and he summoned the sachems OF Tam
many for consultation. After mature
delIberation it was decided to lie low,
await the development of tangible
clew to the perpetrator of the villainous
act in question, then employ Jim Skipton
to bring his matchless detective skill to
bear on the case. 1t is not likely that
the guilty man will escape.

Suit for an Accounting.

The ghosts of creditors of the Oregon
Pacific railroad company still occasional
ly bob up and confront the Farmers
Loan & Trust Co., which has been in
tribulation ever since the organization
of the o. P. company. According to a
New York dispatch s,::;t has been filed
in the United States circuit coErt against
the Farmers Loan & Trust Co., by
Anthony ]. Antelo, of Philadelphia, in
his own behalf and of all other bond
holders of the Oregon Pacific Railway
Company, to compel the trust company
to account to him for the value of certain
bonds and unpaid coupons of the railroad
company. He alleges that he originally
purchased 54 $1,000 bonds of the railway
company, and says that he now holds
a large number of these bonds with
coupons attached. These bonds, he al
leges, were part of SIS ,OO0, 900 in bonds
issued by the Oregon Pacific Railway
Company, and the Willamette Valley &
Coast Railroad Company, secured by
mortgage jointly made to the Farmers
Loan & Trust Co. as trustees. These
bonds were to be sold or paid out under
the conditions of the trust to the amount
of So, ,25O 900 for the purpose of discharg-
ing lien on $4,000 acres of land in the
state of Oregon, which land, on the pay
ment of this lien, was to become the
property oI the Oregon Pacific Railroad
Company and the Willamette Valley &
Coast Railroad Company. The proceeds
were also to be used to build 120 miles of
the Oregon Pacific road at the cost of not
more than $685. 900 per mile. Mr.. Antelo
seeks 10 charge the Farmers Loan &
Trust Company with the value of his
bond, because of its alleged failure to
carry out the trust imposed upon it.

Doings at Salem.

Both branches of the legislature have
been working night and day. but are
now easing off a little, owing to the
necessity for allowing the committees to
work.
The house cut the general appropria-
ton bill to pieces-an easy thing to do
in view OF the fact that it was understood
that the appropriations cut out of the
general bill would be considered in
separate bills
Among the bills reported on adversely,
which reports were considered almost
equivalent to defeat, are Whalley's bill
creating a grain commission and the
Office of grain inspector; williamson 8
bill to appropriate $64O0 for the relief of
Crook county on account of the alleged
overpay of taxes; Carter's bill to ap-
propriate $1,000 to school district 70,
jackson county, to reimburse it for funds
embezzled by the county treasurer, and
Moody's bill to appropriate $4,000 for the
relief OF Rosannah Lancaster.
Representative Nichols has introduced
a bill to amend the school laws so as to
make ability instead of graduation from
schools passport to certificates.
The Daily text book bill, which passed
the senate last week by almost an unan-
imous vote, is now in the hands OF the
house committee ON education. When
the bill passed the senate it was conf
IDENTIFY believed that it would pass un-
interrupted through the house, but the
American Book Company has established
headquarters near the capitol and its
agents are lobbying to delay and defeat
it. 1t is believed that when the original
Daily bill and Kuykendall's substitute
for it, both of which are now in the
hands of the senate committee, come
before the senate, the DAILY bill will pass
and the substitute be rejected

GERS are not such terrible williams. 1t is
the masses against the classes.
do not believe in volunteer officers, -
and consider that the men who imagines
few months study of tactics will make
competent officers of civilians, is more
optimistic than sensible War is more
serious business and more difficult than
the practice OF any of the professions, yet
we go to war on the theory that COM
mission from the governor of state is
all that is required to convert farmers
and business men into educated warriors.
Now the End Oregon is volunteer
regiment and the officers are volunteer
officers. But that they are miscreants
and thieving rascals will hardly be be-
lieved by the people at home without
more proof and more definite charges
than has yet been forthcoming.
Some of the officers lack tact and do
not appreciate their ov n limitations. In
their endeavor to be military they
sickle at petty things and become
nuisances. They are amatuer soldiers
nothing more and the more they en-
deavor to ape professionals the more
their rawness is exposed.
Then there naturally arise incidents
wherein the officers are necessarily
obliged to punish what may seem to the
victim and his friends no fault at all,
and perhaps no fault was intended.
But of all the complaining, and there
is plenty in vogue, although much of it
is careless and not intended seriously, /
have failed to find one man who could
offer the slightest evidence in support of
any grave charges against any officer.
New Years day was properly ushered
in at the Oregon quarters. When 12
struck the whole regiment arose and
yelled. The band assembled and
marched through the grounds playing
patriotic and other airs and everybody
audibly rejoiced. But it was easier to
start the celebration than to stop it, and
when the officer of the day, after giving
the boys reasonable time to agitate the
atmosphere, started to send the boys to
bed he had his hands full. Twas then
he exhibited little diplomacy. He had
the band play Yankee Doodle and of
course the cheering was prodigious.
Then he had it to play "Home Sweet
Home" The noise died away as if by
magic. When the last strains OF the
familiar and pathetic ballad had melted
away in the languid tropical air of the
new born year, taps, that saddest and
sweetest OF all bugle calls, sounded and
the boys went quietly to bed. The
magical power Of the Pied Piper is not
lost to the world.

A letter from Brady Burnett to his
parents states that many of the Christmas
toxes sent from Oregon had reached
Manila at the time of writing. As some
of the boys had not received any he was
| in hope that they would be supplied
later. 1t would seem from what the
boys write that these remembrances of
parents and friends conveyed the great
est pleasure to the soldier lads, and if
this was the purpose of the donors their
pains were fully rewarded. The only re-
grettable feature is that all could not
have been remembered. but the disap-
pointment, it is said, was relieved as far
as possible by liberal division OH the
part of the fortunate ones. The apples
sent from Corvallis were not received in
good shape, but quite number of boxes
from another source was sufficient to
reproduce their taste for the fruit.
R. R. Walker, son-in-law of Rowland
Fisher, of this county, it will be re-
membered, moved to small farm near
Mt. Tabor some months ago, and news
reaches here of rather serious mis-
fortune having befallen him one night
during the recent cold snap. Saturday
morning Mr.. Walker was found lying
stunned by the roadside not far from his
home with both feet badly frozen, and
otherwise in serious condition. 1t
seems that Friday night, about 8 O'Clock,
as Mr.. Walker was passing out IF the
gate he attempted to close it, while hold
ing the reins carelessly over his arm.
His horses jumped, pulled him to the
ground, and dragged him 100 feet before
he could free himself. So stupefied was
he by his injuries that he could not call
for help and lay on the ground all night,
without being noticed blythe passers-by.
The physician who was called to see him
found a large tumor in the right side
above the hip, which was caused by the
rupture OF an artery. An opening was
made in the side, and about SIX ounces
of congested blood removed, thus prevent
ing an abcess, which would have been
much more serious. 1t is thought there
are no other grave conditions, except the
frozen feet. If this is the case, he will
probably recover.

Anticipated the Fight.

Mr.. C. McIlwaln, of this city, has re-
ceived letter dated Dec. 31st, from his
cousin, who reached Manila with the
last installment of Oregon troops. Con-
cernipg the attitude of the natives
toward the U. S. soldiers, he says:
"We cannot 60 to Cavite by land, as
the insurgent lines would have to be
crossed and they will not permit U. S.
soldier to cross their lines. They control
the interior. SO you see we can scarcely
get out of town. AS soon as the treaty
is definitely settled the insurgents will
be looked after. While affairs exist as
now, they will not be disturbed unless
they are the aggressors. Twice in the
past month our troops were called to the
trenches, when the insurgents had made
some demonstrations. The appearance
of q. S. soldiers had the desired effect.
and all was settled without firing rifle.
They are hot heads and there is no tell
ing what insane idea they may get into
their heads" Continuing, he says: Il
notice a number of letters in some OF the
Oregon papers written by the boys of
the End Oregon regiment. Some of them
reflect on the officers of our regiment. l
can truthfully say our officers are gentle
men, and believe they have the interest
of their men at heat. I have my first
time to have an officer address me in
an ungentlemanly manner; and if they
are approached in proper way, they
are ready and willing to favor fellow"
He says "Bismark" has been sick long
time, but is about well. Geo. Reed was
under the weather few days but is O. K.
again.

justice with full power to act in all capac-

made one came along and the deputy
justice performed the ceremony in due
