The Pittsburg correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce has
written a most interesting review OF
the recently-formed United States steel
Company, with some important figures
as to output, earning capacity, interest
charges, ETC., in the course of which he
reviews the deal made with M. A. Han
Ms & Co., of Cleveland, by which the
latter concern is to look after the ore
carrying interests Of the big trust for a
very profitable considerations COM
mission of ~ cents per ton on all ore
handled for the United States concern
and a bonus Of Z cents per ton on all
ore they may sell for the same corpora
ton. He also alleges that the Ameri-
can Tin plate Company, one of the con-
stituent companies owned by the steel
trust, will not advance the prince Of
plates for some time to come" being
content with the present price of four
dollars per box, for delivery in the last
quarter of the year. The correspondent
then takes up the capacity and finan-
cial burdens of the steel trust, and
says:
1t is estimated that the United States
Steel Corporation will turn out directly
from their new works fully sixty per
cent. of the entire output Of iron and
steel made in the United States. At
the present time, according to figures
recently published, we are making pig
iron at the rate Of $4,000, 900 tons a
year. Sixty per cent. Of this is 9,000,-
600 tons, and with a waste OF ten per
cent. allowed for putting it into finish
ed stuff, would give that company an
output Of a little over 5000. 600 tons Of
finished iron and steel. The combine
issued s34o, 900 900 In five per cent.
gold bonds. to purchase the holdings OF
Andrew Carnegie ana his associates in
tho Carnegie works. The preferred cap
ital stock Is $3.50. 900 900, not all OF
which has been issued, however. The
interest on the bonds will be, say. $17.-
600. 900 a year and on the preferred
stock at the most s37 500, 900. or a total
OF about SIS. goo, 900 on bonds and pre-
ferred stock. With an output OF s.ooo,-
tons OF finished stuff. IL means that
there will be a ..1ed charge OF at least
81 q ton to pay interest on preferred
stock and bonds. This seems like a
heavy load for a concern TO carry.
There is no doubt but that the steel
combine will make a great deal more
money out OF the Carnegie Works than
from any OF tae other properties which
they took over. Everybody is familiar
with the huge earnings OF the Carnegie
Steel Company In the many years that
its destinies we're presided over by An
drew Carnegie and his young partners.
In the matter of rails alone the steel
combine ought to make nearly enough
money to pay the five per cent. interest
on the bonds. The Edgar Thomson
Works, at the present rate of output,
will turn out this year more than 600,-
600 tons of rails; the Federal Steel
! Company win turn out SOC, 600 and the
| National Steel Company at Youngs-
I. town. say $4,000 tons. This will give

Board to Adopt Coal for Gas.
Rumor has it that the local miners
are bringing pressure to bear on the
new water board to have them substi-
tute coal for gas at the water works.
Their claims, if the report is true, have
some merit. They argue that while
there is some little dirt in connection
with the use of the black diamond, the
fuel is SO much cheaper than gas, that

Gray Eagle Aground.

Tuesday afternoon the Gray
Eagle arrived at the logging
camp Of B. E. Robertson, On
Smiths S island, in order to tow a
couple of RATS of logs to Oregon
City for c. K. Spaulding. In
letting the RATS swing from their
moerings affairs did not go just
as Capt. Walker of the Gray
Eagle anticipated, but swung in
against his craft. The weight
of the moving RATS was so great
that, aided by the current, the
poor cid Eagle was pushed up on
the beach, stern first. In spite
of all efforts, she remained there.
Lines were run off III all direc-
tiens and men worked the cap
stan heroically, but it was no
use. They were obliged to
await the arrival of the Eugene,
Wednesday noon, when they
were assisted off and passed down
on their way to Oregon City with
the logs. II is estimated that
about $4,000 to 100, 900 feet OF
logs were taken down.

New Road Laws.

Two bills relating to the collec-
ton of road taxes, which have been
signed by the governor and are now
law, are house bills l00 and 2O5.
The former law requires ceurty
courts to levy a road tax of not
more than 10 mills on the dollar,
based on the previous years as
sessment. The fund thus created
is to be expended under the direc-
ton Of a county roadmaster, who
has supervision of the supervisors.
Upon the petition of II free
holders of any road district, ap-
proved by the roadmaster, for the
Improvement of any road, the
county court shall consider the
petition, and, if approved shall ask
for sealed bids for the performance
of the work and furnishing of the
material needed, and let the con:
tract to the best bidder, provided,
however, that the court may reject
any and all bids. The court is also
authorized to purchase rock-crush-
ers out Of the road fund. The tax
provided for in this act is in lieu of
taxes heretofore made coilectible
under other acts
House bill 205 requires the col
lection of road poll tax of $3 from
every male inhabitant over 81 and
under 80 years Of age, unless by
law exempt. The tax must be
paid either in labor or cash, but
the county court may require that
1t be paid in cash. If any person
refuses to pay the tax a suit may
be brought in the justice court to
collect the same, and the wages Of
delinquent may be levied upon to
collect any judgment recovered
The tax must be expended upon
the roads Of the district in which
collected. The act contains an
emergency clause, and goes into
effect Immediately. The tax be-
comes due on March l, and may be
collected between March 1 and
December 81 Of each year.

Regents Meeting.

Ali the members of the col.

special meeting Wednesday ex-
cept Governor Geer and Secre-
tary of State Dunbar, who sent
their special regrets for being

lature for that institution. There
were two funds appropriated,
first, $2o, 900 for the present and
$25, 500 annually thereafter.

expenditure.
The other appropriation was
$40, 900 and the $40 acre farm in
Union county bought by the
state for an asylum a few years

poses. The institution of an ex-
pertinent station at this Garin
