Editor Astorian.
According TO a reliable authority it
has cost S+,3OO,0OO, in addition to the
extra cost and expense to the ships,
OF the inland trip, to take the products
OF Western Oregon and the Inland
Empire from a point 100 miles above
Astoria, instead OF shipping them
here, at the mouth OF the river OF
this amount S2,5O00OO has been ex-
pended by the Port of Portland and
s., 100000 by the general government.
And yet, the producer has not receiv-
ed one farthing more for his crop than
LII it had gone across the Cascade
mountains to Puget Sound. OF course,
some one had to put up the 8, 100000.
Who was it? We know who put it
up in the first instance; but it is i'm
lportant to know who pays for it in
the end. The Oregon Railway &
Navigation Company seems to have
been the greatest gamer up to date.
1t has had a short haul, on a water
grade and has collected the same tolls
that other roads have collected for
longer hauls over high mountain
grades. 1t would seem as if the time
had arrived when the railroads should
share with the producers the advant-
ages of the Columbia pass through
the Cascade Mountains.

DEPUTY IS IN JAIL
OSCAR LINN 10 ACCUSED OF BRIB-
Jefferson County Onzcer is Charged with Taking Money From Ne- groes to Protect Them
 From Arrest.

Birmingham, March 27.--(Special.)-- Deputy sheriff Oscar Linn was today captured at the home of relative near Brookside and brought to the cry.
 A warrant was sworn out for Linn several days ago by Sherif Higdon. 1t be.nk alleged that he accepted bribe of sl3.2b from negro whom he had ai. ested for gaming and turned the negrn loose. It is the first accusation of the kind on record in Birmingham.
 An announcement was made at the sherifrs office that one deputy might lose his job because Linn was not ar rested before 8 o'clock Friday morn i1g when h. was asked to get up out of lis ted and accompany the officers to the railway station ct Brookside.
 Linn protests his innocence and de- ciares that he did not take the money negroes for the release of Will White. negro charged with gaming.
 The bribery charge grew out of the trial of q number of negroes in the second division of the criminal court last week. The negroes were arrested by Linn. who was made a deputy sheriff several months ago, and 1t was said that he offered to release them for s13.26 apiece. One of the number. Win White. testified that he procured the money and obtained his release. The others were carted away to prison and when Judge Samuel L. Weaver heard of the bribery case he dismissed all persons concerned. Sheriff Higdon was in the court room at the time and declared that he would swear out warrant against every person con nected with the bribery case, including his deputy who is said to have re- ceived the s13.2S. One of the persons said to have given the money. Matte Mampbell. was in the court room at the time and she was promptly arrested.
 Nothing had been seen of Linn until several days ago when deputy is said to have failed to arrest him. Notice of this reached Sheriff Higdon and he said he would ask the deputy for his commission.

 Governor Conner dwelt briefly upon a number of questions. He said he had been accused of being a crank upon the question of railroads. a crank upon prohibition and upon education and did not know what he would be accused of being a crank upon next. He told of his tours over the state in the inter- est of better education for the children and the establishment of public schools
