Edmond Dantes is eminently practical.
His dealings are with the hard-headed
capitalist and the hard-handed labor

has ever retained the confidence and
respect of both. To be sure he has a
heart, but it is possessed by charm

talented sons. Nor is he second to Du-

and charity. In short, Mr.. Dillingham;
is an up-to-date Monte Cristo of the
kind that we can understand and ad-
mire. Less than thirty years ago he
trod barefooted upon the beach at
Honolulu, where now stand his
wharves and warehouses, his sugar
mills and his railway depot. His en-
tire capital at that time consisted of a
robust constitution and an abundance
of gray matter called brain. Today he
is one of the leading financiers of the
islands and has millions at his COM
mald. Like Dantes he too wrested his
millions from mother earth, but they

After being shipwrecked he was
washed up on the beach there and
there he remained and labored.
Without dollar TO his name or n

beach into the town In search of work.
His frank face, earnest. manner and

involved and reward soon followed In
a substantial increase OF wages.
But earning money for others was
not to Dillingham's liking and he de-
termined to strike out for himself at
the first opportunity. His savings had
been judiciously invested and while
they did not amount to a fraction of
the sum he now expends every day,
they sufficed to give him a respectable
start in the hardware business, which
he followed for many years with pro-
fitable results.
All these years the leaven of ambi-
tion was active in his brain and he
preached the doctrine CT expansion and
development to his less enthusiastic
neighbors. Hawaii, he insisted, was
one of the richest gardens of the uni
verse and it was their duty to take
advantage of natures bounty and de-
velop it's resources. His logic COM
PEELED their attention, but they were
slow to follow his suggestion. When
in the latter sos Dillingham; proposed
the construction of railway on the
island of Oahu, which would connect
and be fed by number of sugar plan
tations which he intended to develop,
sluggish capital balked at the idea as
foolhardy and impracticable. The Nc
Kipley bill had dealt heavy blow to
the sugar industry in Hawaii and with
their principal market virtually closed
to them the planters saw nothing
ahead but blue ruin.

and pluck overcame one obstacle after
another. and finally landed himself and
his followers just where he predicted
they should find themselves when the
task he had outlined was accomplished.
Artesian wells were sunk upon the
present site of the famous Eva sugar
plantation, and water in sufficient
abundance for irrigation purposes was
struck. The Eva company was Or
ganized and the stock fioated In
vestors were slow in coming to the
front, but Dillingham; persevered, and
the plantation was soon firmly estaD-
lished. 1t yielded remarkably from its
inception, and every one connected
with the corporation thrived. Stock
went up and up, until it reached the
head of the list. and the name OF Dill
lingham was blessed. Throughout the
trials of organization and promotion
he had carried burdens under which
less plucky and optimistic man would
have fallen, but he plodded on in his
own confident way, and proved the
truthfulness of his reasoning.
With Eva prosperous Dillingham; set
about to extend his railway and de-
velop new plantations. Oahu was
formed and launched, and became
second Eva, inferior only in size and
productive capacity.
But Dillingham; was not content to
rest at Oahu. The wild and fertile
fields of Waialua were still in his path,
and to these his railway must be ex-
tended. Little time was lost in so do
ing, and Waialua soon followed Eva
and Oahu as a profitable feeder for his
road.
The picturesque scenery on the sea-
shore of Waialua tempted him to build
a hotel there. and he did SO, giving
Hawaii its most attractive structure.

SETTLERS WON.
An Important Decision Handed Down by
Judge Be11inSer Last Week.

Judge Be11inser Last Week.
In the United States circuit cour
for the District of Oregon Judge
Bellinger last Friday handed dowr
a written opinion in the case of the
United States against the Oregon
& California Railroad Company
The decision is in favor of the
United States, or more properly
the settlers in whose interests the
suit was brought. 1t is the
most important case which has
been decided during the term OF
United States District Attorney
Hall, and as he acted as attorney
for the United States and the
settlers, and won on every point,
he has reason for qualification.
The case involved the homes OF
large number of settlers on both
sides of the river in the Willamette
valley, who have been holding
their breath for fear they would
lose the result of the labor of a
life time.
When the Oregon & California
Railroad obtained its right of way
from Portland southwark, it was
given grant of 20 miles of land
on each side of the tract. Some of
this land had been taken up by
settlers already, and to offset this
further strip of 10 miles outside
the grant was set aside by the
Government from which the 1ail-
road could select to the amount of
lands within it's grant for which
patents had already been given by
the Government. These 1O-mile
strips were unsurveyed, and settlers
went in and squatted, building
their homes in the mountains.
When the land was surveyed and
thrown open for settlement about
Is years ago, the railroad crowded
forward, applied for patents to the
lands on which the settlers had
squatted, and were granted them.
This looked as though the labors of
a life time were about to be swept
away, for some of the settlers had
gone in as early as 1858.
The suit was the result, and it's
outcome is most satisfactory to the
settlers, of whom large number
are involved, from Portland TO the
southern part of the state.
The railroad may take an ap-
peal to the Court of Appeals.

The Passion Play.

At the Opera House, next Satur-
day evening, scenes from the fam.
Gus passion Play" as presented
every ten years in the little village
of Oberammergau, Bulgaria, will be
produced, with the aid of Edison's
wonderful moving pictures. The
admission will be 25 cents, and the
proceeds will go to the college Y: M.
c. A. The Savior's life, from the
very moment the shepherds first
saw the star OF Bethlehem and
heard the joyful tidings Of the birth
of Christ, until the sublime finale
when the Redeemer slowly aseended
to heaven, are shown by series of
Photographic tableaux. The scenes
of Christ's triumphal entry into
Jerusalem, the raising of Lazarus
from the dead, the last supper, the
trial and condemnation, the awful
journey to Calvary, and finally the
crucifixion of the Messiah, are all
given on the canvas. The express
sJons on the faces of the actors in
the great drama can be distinctly
seen, and everything in the picture,
the costumes, scenery, ETC., are
strictly accurate. The originator of
the drama, from which these views
were taken, had twice been himself
an actor in the play as given by the
Bavarian peasants, and after COM
ing to this country spent $125,OOO
in securing costumes and scenery
and necessary parahernalia for the
production. The views are madee
more interesting by the lecture
which is given at intervals during
the play.

How 1t Came.

In the course of life time there
are many ups and downs, and in
cidents, small within themselves,
occur to change our entire life.
Some seventeen years ago one Of
our fellow citizens, while en- route
from the Fatherland to Corvallis,
being at this time a mere young
ster, was obliged to change cars at
Chicago and necessary delay fol-
lowed. In the course of the delay
a shrewd rascal, up to "Yankee
tricks" accosted the youth in
his native tongue, thereby manag-
ing in short order to work up an
acquaintance and inspire more or
less confidence. He took our friend
under his charge presumably to
guide him to restaurant for a meal,
but, although the fellow proved
good company, they did not seem
to come to any place where hunger
could be satisfied. Finally the con-
fdence man, for such he proved to
be, told the German youth that he
would have to hurry back to the
depot in order not to miss his train.
AS they had missed lunching to-
gether he suggested that he put up
lunch for our friend. This was a
capital idea and the proposition
was accepted. When the lunch
was to be paid for the price de-
manded by the confidence man
was 81. It seemed an awful price,
but our friend was hungry, and be-
sides, he had heard tales of Ameri-
can lioerality long before he de-
parted his native soil, so the money
was paid. On opening the lunch
there was found to be one single
loaf of bread-nothing more. All of
the balance of the way out to
Corvallis our friend pondered the
matter and concluded that there
surely must be money in the
