B. F. Jones has filed with the railway
commission his amended com plant
Co.. in which he alleges that the railway
company does not provide sufficient &C.
commodations for passengers travelling
over it's road between Albany and New
port. that many travellers, both men and
| women, are compelled to stand up all
the way between Corvallis and Newport,
that many are compelled to ride on the
platform, os ing to the crowded condition
of the cars, and that the lives of the pass
engers are thereby endangered. M. Jones
further alleges that the company is SELL
ing tickets over aa old steamer that has
a carrying capacity of 100 passengers,
whereas there are often as many as $50
passengers carried by said boat and
houss scow which is sometimes towed By
the boat and that the company sells
through tickets over the said boat, there
oy discriminating against other safe boats
operating on the bay.

The United Artisans had very pleasan:
social time at their hall Thursday eve

According to Saturdays Oregonian,
DR.. James Withycombe of Corvallis had
the following to say regarding the Port
land horse show: ~ spent season at
the horse show held in Madison Square
Garden when it was at the zenith of it's
popularity and must confess that Port
lands first horse show compares very fa-
vorably with the one attended, and in
some respects over shadows the big New
York show, especially in the saddlers
class. Of course in the matter of appoint
ments, the display at New York was es-
pecially Ene and much larger and better
than what is being shown here, but this
sort of thing is new to US. The display
in the saddle horse classes. both TO men
and women, is dazzling, and have never
seen finer or better hammered lot,
Great credit is due the Hunt Club for
giving such a splendid show. [ consider
it one of the best things that could be
done for the horse industry in the State
of Oregon. It's effect will be far. reaching
and its benefits will live. The Oriental
building is an ideal place to hold show
OF this character. The show ring is be-
yond doubt the best west of Chicago and
the lighting ofsthe building makes its
possible for the judges to see without
difficulty in ths evening as we'll as the
afternoon"
