Work In Progress.

Stephen Carver, president Ct
the proposed Corvallis and Alsea

Wallis the past few days looking
after. business matters for the
company, preparatory to the be-
ginning of work on the line to
Bellefountain. Mr.. Carver was
busily engaged, Thursday, in the
search for 80 teams to begin
work yesterday on the grade. As
the country to be traversed is
practically level, it will be an
easy task to throw up the grade.
The actual work on the line
was to begin yesterday. The
survey for a number of miles has
been completed and the right oi
way secured for a considera bic
distance.
Rails enough to lay six Oh
seven miles OF track have arrived
and will be laid this summer,
Mr.. Carver expected to star
surveyors out from Eugene,
! THURSDAY, on the Eugene-Si
uslaw railroad. The surveying
will be done by Simon Klovdah
who superintended the work or
the new Benton road. It is Mr.
Carver's intention 10 begin grad
ing on the Eugene-Siuslaw roa'
this fall but the work of layin!
the track will not be undertaken
until spring.

CAT BROUGHT FORTUNE
First Cat Taken to Dawson Sold
For More Than $1,000

Dick Williams, a prominent
operator in the Tonopah district,
who claims to be the first man 70
bring a cat into Yukon, is telling
for the benefit of those interested
in the prospective Alaska-Yukon
Pacific Exposition manv tales OF
the early days. AS the Exposit-
ion hopes to reproduce many
famous scenes and cabins or
the string days of ISe7-18oS
Williams stories are of interest
and assistance.
"The cat that made me- fam
Gus" said Williams, ''like many
famous men, had a humble pedi-
gree. I picked her up in an alley
in Seattle between First and
Second Avenue one night in Au-
gust 1897. Next day 1 went
north. 1 brought the cat along
for company as it was my first
trip, and 1 had no thought then
of making a profit of it. Daw-
sou was mighty homeless place
the winter OF 1So7-1S98. 1 ar
rived on one of the last boats that
fall and to my astonishnent
hundreds came to see the cat and
offer after offer to purchase it
poured in. The camps were lively
enough, but its lonesomeness
consisted in the absence of home
touches, an absence which my
cat seemed to supply. finally
had to sell pussy as my money
ran out, and l got over a thous-
and dollars for her. l do not be-
lieve that a homeless cat ever sold
for so much before in all history.
The next summer they brought
in a boat load of cats that the
miners eger]y bought, and from
that time On the price of cats de-
creased and their number grew.

Loafers Amid Work.

The scarcity of labor is a coz
slant theme, yet the county, and
especially the city, is full of idle
men. 1t is impossible, say the
iruit-growers of the Inland En-
pire, to get men to pick the fruit;
it is impossible, say fuel dealers,
to get men to cut cord-wood; it is
impossible, say railroad contract
ors, to get full supply Of
graders. The same plant is
heard all along the line, says the
Oregonian editorially. With
harvest just at hand, followed by
hoppicking and fruit-gathering
and the varied demands that the
Fall season makes upon labor,
the situation is serious. The
conclusion is irresistible that a
large class of labor has been
catered to and coaxed and coddl-
ed in order to keep it in the bar
ness at all, or, perhaps, for politi-
cal reasons, that it has become so
big with self-conceit as to be, for
all practical purposes, worthless.
This does not refer to the intel
I1igent, conscientious working
man, who goes to his daily labor
cheerfully and receives its wage
land a good wage it is or prosper
ity would be a misleading term
thankful for the strength and op-
portunity to earn it. 1t refers to
the idle class, aggrieved at, they
:; know not what, WHO plod along
, the highways taking toll from
orchards, gardens and poultry
yards, ostensibly looking for
work; or who hang in squads
around headquarters in the city,
where labor agitators rail at caplt-
al and its enterprises and incites
= to strikes and violence.
These men are idle, first, be-
cause they do not want to work
and second, because when by
chance one is coaxed into the &C.
ceptauce of job, at fruit pick
Ing or other employment fol
which there is a pressing de
nand, he proves SO utterly worth
less that his employer is glad to

its solution, upon any known
hypothesis, so hopeless.

AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
Horse Mired in Quicksand but
Driver was Brave.

Mrs. Tom Horning, a sister
iu.law of E. B. Hofning of this
city. had an exciting experience
over on the beach few days ago,
which is related in coast paper
as follows:
Mrs. Horning was alone in the
buggy at the time and driving
near the surf so the horse would
have harder and smoot her road
to travel on.
When near Spencer Creek the
animal ster ped its hind feet into
a quicSsand hole and sank down
the fore feet and body resting
on firm ground. Mrs. Horning
got out of the buggy and urged
the horse 10 extricate itself, but
it appeared to be unable to do so.
The tide was rushing in and Mrs.
Horning realized that what was
done would have to be done
quickly as the waves were al
ready reaching the horse. With
all her efforts she could not in
duce the horse to get on its feet
or get it loosened from the buggy.
In self preservation she started
.shoreward, but on looking back
to the helpless beast she resolved
to make one more effort. She
waded back and whipped it with
the lines; just then ian incoming
wave struck the horse and either
frightened it or buoyed it up so
that it gained its feet and lost no
time in making for dry land.
Mrs. Horning was now in the
water up to her waist and thinks
that she would have been swept
off her feet if she had not caught
hold of the buggy and clung to it
until she got out of the reach of
the waves.
She has no desire to drive on
the beach again.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

One hundred and eighty n years
ago, Thursday last, the most memoir
able document in the worlds political
history was given birth. 1t gave
hope, life. vitality and inspiration to a
struggling people that echoed around
the world and resulted in the forma-
ton of a government which the kings
and potentates ofthe old world thought
almost an insult to the Divine
thought. 1t c~rystalized sentimen
for a war that made right triumph
over might. That document led to the
establishment of a government that
proclaimed the real freedom of m an,
denied the divine right OF kings and
sought to give man that latitude Of
action and speech which God intend
ed him to enjoy. That fourth of July,
1776, document, not only proclaimed
political freedom but religious freedom
which has resulted in the organization
of the greatest band of religious work :
ers ever known and all under the glor-
ious flag Of King Emanual.
That documAt was but the fOrerun-
ner of an organized government which
has reversed the political tide OF the
ages and wrought more for the ever
lasting good of humanity during the
short period Of its existence than has
been done by all the other organized
governments of the world. The COVE IN
ment which grew out Of that fourth
of July document leads all other na-
tionsin commerce, in religion and in
| all things that make for the better
ment of mankind and buildeth hope
| for the future. 1t is second to none in
| wal and the greatest Of all in peace.
| How little did the fathers Of that
day know how wisely they were plan
ing and the great consequences to
grow out of their labor.
What a marked contrast in the
country of 1776 and the n of 1907.
1t almost startleS the mind to COM
prehend the change. The great forest
| with ifs innumerable wild animals,
| the Indian with his bow and arrow
| and tOmahawk, great tracts Of land
that had never felt the footStept of
| the white man where are today? In
| their places are beautiful homes, till
ed fields, large cities, rail roads with
| their fast trains, the telegraph anb
telephone and hundreds Of other
things to Danish isolation and diSpel
solitude.
| God has certainly been pleased with
| the memorable day. His smiles have
been upon the world and mission of
this nation that while looking reyer-
emily to the past, duty directs the eye
to the future. To have His pro-
vidential care to continue to abide
with us the future must be faced with
resolute hope ard a thoughtful
care of humanity--the thing uppermost
in the mind of the nation.
