M. WAITE, Steam Book and Job Printer and Bookbinder. MADE State street, Sales, Oregon. S3 ZMitx The immediate question with respect to the war probabilities in Europe is as to whether or not Russia will at once pro ceed to punish the suppressors of the late Bulgarian insurrection. It is assumed that it was by Russian intrigue that the recent outbreak was instigated, just as was the coup d'etat by which Prince Al exander was forced to abdicate.

The au thors of the coup d'etat were punished to some extent, but Russia concluded not to go to war about it. The movers in the late insurrection were, some of them Russian army officers who have presum ablv been shot. Will Russia make this the pretext for practically seizing Bulga ria now Those who have grown tired in listen ing to the never-ending war talk are not disposed to believe in anything of the. kind until it actually happens. But the massing of troops on the frontier con tinues.

The Roumanians and Turks are reported to be girding up their loins and Austria is leaving no stone unturned to be in readiness for the collision. Every thing apparently depends upon Russia, If the Czar is so exasperated at bis second failure in Bulgaria insurrections that he can wait no longer, the prevailing doubts will soon be cleared away. But even the Bourses have grown callous to the situa tion now. The boom cyclone that has struck Cal ifornia, is widening and spreading, and the breeze of enterprise has already reached Salem, and the people are wak ing up to their real situation. As the San Francisco Chronicle, the boom paper of the coast, speaks of California, so is the same true of Oregon "The future of the state must depend upon a proper ap preciation and understanding of its cap pabilities and advantages for business purposes.

The dream of the pioneer, the romance of the days of '49 is ended, and California must make a name for herself for what she really is. The time for pick ing up nuggets of fabulous wealth or wash ing out a fortune from the bed of a rivu let is past. Fortunes, if made at all, are madt by hard, honest labor and it is our purpose and duty to present the business prospects of California and the opportuni ties which the state affords to those seek ing a home and the means of earning a livelihood as they actually exist. No better index of the progress and pros perity of a state can be found than the growth and improvement of its cities and towns. They are so many centers, from which radiate rays of advancement, and to which the wealth of the surround ing country is constantly flowing.

They are the markets of the country, where the exchanges of values are constantly being made, and where relative values are fixed and determined. The San Francisco Chronicle very trite ly remarks as follows "The pig-headed stubbornness of the president in failing to sign the deficiency bill because he had not read it through will be apt to cause a great deal of trouble in all parts of the country before the opening of the next fiscal year. The signal service here is seriously crippled for lack of funds, and the failure of the usual appropriation has rendered necessary the cutting-off telegraphic reports from seven points on the coast. The farmers to whom a complete signal service is of the utmost importance, should remember this when they hear Cleveland eulogized for his devotion to the public interests." Now that the Oregon and California railroad will no longer be tied up to a stump as it were, we will probably not be long without Sunday trains. ALL FOR 25 CENTS.

St C. TRANSFER. At last, we have definite information to the effect that the Oregon and Califor nut railroad property has passed from the hands of the O. C. R.

R. and is oon to be under the control of the Southern Pacific company. The statement tomes direct from Col. Charles F. Crock-1 vice president of the Southern Pacific Tailway company, who sent the following to the associated press reporter at San Prancisco on Saturday "The transfer of the Oregon California railroad into 3Ksession of the Southern company awaits the delivering of certain se curities in New York city, which will be accomplished about April 1.

The agreement made some months since in New "York by Mr. Huntington and agents of the bondholders and stockholders of the Oregon California railroad has been ratified." Col. Crocker further stated that the Southern Pacific company would take actual control of the road on July first. Al so, in relation to the completion of the road from Oregon to California, he said "We are now pushing work as fast as possible, but have a gap of forty-five Tcniles to close. This is in the Siski3-ou mountains, and will be the heaviest work -on the entire line.

At the present time we have about 4000 men employed, and -are increasing the force as fast as possible If we have an open fall we expect to complete the road and have it open by December next. Early rains, however, have delayed work slightly." This announcement is of very great importance to Oregon. Although it has been known that negotiations were pend ing for the transfer of this system to the California company for a good many tnonths, yet this is the first time the fact has been reliably established by a statement from the headquarters of either company. This change means a great tn Orpirnn. anil esrwiallv to th western and southern portions of the state.

It liberates the Willamette valley, in a measure, from the extortions prac ticed bv the Oregon Railway and Naviga tion company, and will also place the road that connects the northern with the southern part of the state in the hands of a company full of enterprise and a "go- ahead" spirit. It means that after July first our mails will not lie over in Ash land and Portland one day out of every seven it means that our merchants will lave not only Portland, but San Francisco as an available, and quick purchasing market; it means an extended market for our produce; it means another and pleasant passenger route to the east. In fact it means more to us than the writer lias space or time to note in this article. People who have had to patronize the Or- gonand California railroad have been waiting long and anxiously for some com pany to secure control of it, that would give satisfactory service, and they will nave confidence in this road's doing so. This when completed will be one of the best paying roads on the Pacific coast, And its completion will contribute a great deal of benefit to Western Oregon, by bringing us much of the immigration that comes now only to California, and returns to the east from there.

Farmers throughout this valley are now busily engaged in their spring seed ing. The acreage will be fully up to the average, it is thought, and there is every prospect of fair prices ruling. Give our farmers seventy-five cents, or even seven ty cents per bushel, for wheat at the -close of the coming harvest, and it will place them in excellent financial condi tion. In fact the credit of the average Oregon farmer is fully up to that of the farmer of the east now. And there is every reason why this should be so good farms, productive soil, never failing crops, and the best climate in the world, all combine to further his every interest.

The only thing the farmer of Oregon has lacked was plenty of markets, and the completion of the Oregon California and Oregon Pacific railroads will help him in that particular. Me. Beecuer was once asked bv one of liis myriad of "How shall I feel when I come to die?" The great preacher replied characteristically "You will probably feel stupid," referring to the kindly provision of nature in be numbing the faculties when putting her children to their last sleep. His predic tion has been closely verified in his own case, the coma of apoplexy being one of the states which he describes as "stupid" a condition of sleepiness followed by insensibility and death. In selecting a new superintendent for the state insane asylum, his qualifications and fitness for the position should not be considered second to his political claims apon the position.

We must expect a democrat, but that should not be his only qualification for the important position. holders, and in fact, everything usually kept in a first class stocked book and stationery store. 1 intend to keep the best stock in the L.
