Tho Portland News of Nov. 8tb,
says:
The Legislature, in September,
1872, provided by law for the survey
and location of a wagon road from
Sandy to The Dalles, making a part
o f it a portage wagon road, with suit
able landings at the Cascades, and at
the same time provided for harmon
izing the construction of tho wagon
road and railroad, both of which the
North Pacific and O. S. N. Company
oppose as opening the Columbia
River to competition. It seems that
■while the attention of the O. S. N.
Company has for the last year been
.directed to tho movements of the
Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake Rail
road Company, Col. Chapman, the
President of;the latter company, bus
been quietly securing the proper lo
cation of the Sandy road to suit the
railroad; and the first thing that the
public learns of his plan is, that the
Sandy road lias become a county
road, and Col. Chapman has return
ed from Wasco County Court, with
an order under seal of Court, grant
ing to the Portland, Dalles and Salt
Lake Railroad Company the right of
way upon the Portage Sandy Road,
obviating the necessity of suits be-
tweeu the P. D. <fc S. L. R. Co. and
the O. S. N. Company for the right
of way at this difficult pass. And
work may progress at an early day,
for the Portage Railroad. The peo
ple East of the Cascade Mountains
will hail with joy this result. This
is the key to all competi g improve
ments in railroads depending upon
the navigation of the Columbia
River.
the Illinois State Register: —
“ Why should the farmers repose auy
faith in the republican party? What
reason have they for hope frem it?
They have held power for ten or
twelve years, and aggressions upon
the rights of the industrial classes
have accumulated. The honest far
mers who once belonged to the re
publican party are tired of empty
promises and pledges that have for
ever been brokeG.”

The Idaho Statesman, a live paper,
although small, has the following
very trnthful remarks in relation to
patent outsides, in which is express
ed the true feelings of the generality
of our people. The Statesman says:
I. W. Mayfield, an old Oregon prin
ter, has purchased an interest in the
Spirit of the West, published at
Walla Walla. T h i s paper is generally
known as Judge Lewis’ paper; start
ed to prepare the way for his Judge-
ship to go to Congress. The field
was already occupied by two other
very good papers—one for each party
—who could make no more than a
comfortable living by close industry.
The West struggled hard, and got
some footing,' but little or no pay
was the result. The last election in
that Territory has turned the party
scales, aDd thè West sees no hope for
its dearly beloved judge iu the future,
and the judge of course has no more
nourishment for the West. The last
resort before death is a patent out
side. This the West adopted with
its new partner, Mr. Mayfield. We
like to see laboring men, especially
printers, do well, but success de
pends on good management and a
productive field for labor. Patent
outsides are composed of stale old
matter, set up by the yard, and sent
to a hundred different offices, about
as interesting asso much yellow cov
ered literature, or old cast away pat
ent office reports. Our people, es
pecially the people of this coast, do
not waut old and threadbare litera
ture any more than they want shoddy
or cast off clothes. They want the
latest and best, let it cost what it may.
Time is too precious and life too
short to spin loug yarns or read old
fashioned tales. The latest news and
local affairs of the country, interest
most in these day&, and this informa
tion the people are willing to buy
and pay for. A seven by nine paper
full of original matter, giving the
passing events and general news as
it happens from day to day, is worth
more than a yard square of old fables.
If there is not room for a live news
paper, full of original matter, it is no
use to try a stale one full of dead
matter. We advise our friends who
hang their hopes upon any patent ex
periment in the newspaper business,
that they are throwing time and moD*
ey away foolishly.
T h a n k s .— It is not often that we return
thanks in behalf of other people unless we
are especially requested so to do, but there
Niro some occasions upon which a deviation
from our general rule becomes a necessity,
and the present is one of those occasions;
and we now oiler thanks to the generous man
who, on last Saturday, bestowed the carcass
of a dead deer upon our neighbor of the
Herald— knowing that his modesty would
not permit him to do the subject justice.
The party has our thanks for the gift, and
we now hope to see his lean, lank form take
a little more corpulent shape than it has
heretofore. We hope he will not g^rge him
self on the savory steaks of that venison to
such an extent as to become surfeited with
it, and that his appetite may continue good
tor other edibles, is our wish.

GRANDE LETTER.
L a G r a n d e , N o v . 3rd., 1873.
E d it o r D e m o c r a t : — After writing
my last communication to you, many
of my friends here felt a little un
easy about my safety, lest the Bull
would “ horn” Monitor, but, upon
reflection, they concluded that he
was not “ on the horn” in that way,
but took a “ horn” of whiskey in his.
Besides this, he is what many farm
ers call a “ rnuley” or hornless bo
vine, with a bald face and thick skull.
Monitor being an ir o n - c l a d has lit
tle cause for alarm from so insignifi
cant a source-
The Sentinel failed to come to time
ou Saturday, 8th inst., and did not
appear until Monday morning, when
it came out on a half sheet, minus
the patent outside. We did not ex
pect to delay the concern for two
wliolo days when we wrote before,—
but did expect a terrible castigation
at the hands of the animal when it
did appear, yet we were sadly disap
pointed in that, instead of trying to
clear himself of our imputations he
only rids himself of a shower of vul
garity and abuse of “ Monitor” and
the Editor of tbe D em ocrat .
The animal thinks he knows who
Monitor is, and Monitor wantB an
office; in that he is mistaken, as Mon
itor is engaged in an honorable o c
cupation by which he obtains an in
come equal to any office in Union
county, and which occupation en
gages most of his time. His patron
age is of the b e s t citizens of this vi
cinity, and is worth more for a month
than the Sentinel income for a year.
Not much! We don't have time to
devote to a county office, our busi
ness is enough, except to give the
press a little news occasionally. No!
Bull! We don’t want to be the next
Sheriff of Union County, and hence
are not y o u r competitor. But we
can tell you now what you will find
out in due time for yourself, the p e o
p l e do not want y o u nor any of yo u r
k in d for Sheriff nor any o t h e r office.
What a thing for a Sheriff ! to draw
the peoples’ money, and drink
Striker’s beer, to puff and swell, and
try to drive honest men into dishon
est cliques. The people of Union
County are awakening to a realiza-
[ tion of the fact that it is to their in
terests to nominate and elect honest
men to fill all positions of trust in
onr county, men who can perform
their offices with justice to all, and
partiality to none, who when acting
in their official capacities, are not
biased or controlled by personal or
partisan prejudices, but who work to
tbe best interests of the people,bear
ing in mind the fact that men of all
political views are tax payers—and
that tbe minority are entitled to the
same rights and privileges that the
majority possess. The tax payers
think that the county court should
nse their money economically—and
should not squander it to satisfy per
sonal or political friends—that when
letting a contract to the public, they
should not refuse to allow a man to
bid on it, lest he under bid the oue
for whom the contract is intended,
simply because be did not vote to
snit them, notwithstanding be be an
American citizen possessing a per
fect right to vote as he please. When
the person whose bid was refused
offered to do tbe same work for $100
less than tbe one to whom it was
awarded.
Such has been the actico of the
present county court©f Union Coun
ty, and the citizens express them
selves in the opinion that tbe court
should foot that $100 themselves, and
not ask the tax payers to allow them
to squander it to satisfy partisan
friends.
The Sentinel Bull in hrs attempt
to villify “ Monitor” and the Editor
of the D e m o c r a t , uses enough abus
ive language, but fails to give a sin
gle instance in which either gentle
man is guilty of any crime save that
of simply stating what every one in
La Grande knows to be true of tbe
animal. He further acknowledges
that he does not know who “ M oni
tor” is, much less of his personal
character.
A great deal might be said truly
of the personal character o f the Edi
tor of the Sentinel, that would not
reflect very favorable, to honesty and
morality. The teuth part is enough
to condemn him in the estimation of
honest men.
When he came to La Grande, i d
the spring of 1872, he, being without
household goods or furniture, a citi
zen of this county furnished him
with the same until he could get
those of his own. After being used
and abused by the said Sentinel maD
for many weeks they ware turned
over to the owner in a most wretched
condition of demoralization. The
owner of said property was not even
thanked for the use of it, much less
paid. The citizens of this county
were at that time anxious to have a
county paper, and d i d contribute
generously to tho on* that is now
dying here, until they were assured
that.it was a failure in everything
that constitutes a decent journal,
they then began to “ chop” on it, un
til now they have well nigh chopped
its brainless head off. Bull has of
ten referred to the feeble (niggardly
he culls it) support which his paper
receives from the people. We be
lieve tbe citizens of Union county to
be as liberal as auy in tho world, in
the support of any w o r t h y enter
prise, but they have too much good
common sense to invest in so worth
less a concern. Many who are now
subscribers to it, say that they would
not be if the Editor did Dot owe them
and that they cannot get their pay in
any other way.
And now in conclusion to the r o a r
in g Bull of the Sentinel, Monitor has
this to say. Before you again at
tempt to villify the character of one
who occupies a position in society
that yo u can never obtain, as in the
present case; you had better go and
pay that poor woman, who is striv
ing alone in the world to feed and
clothe herself and little children, the
sum of money which you justly owe
her for washing, and other drudgery
in your own house. It would help
the feeble, sickly, aud delicate lady,
who, justly, is not able to do hard
labor—to buy bread for her hungry
babes. She certainly needs it, as
she has been deserted by a worth
less husband, and left to strive for a
miserable existence in a world with a
few such mean men in it as the man
who refuses to pay her for her work
because she could not force him to
pay it, as the law allows him more
than he possesses, and he has not
any principle, or sense of honor, to
do justice to those who are unable to
obtain it iu a legal way. If you deny
it, tbe facts can be proven by the
lady herself. When you have paid
this bill, and have restored to tbe
widow andAhe orphans their bard
earniDprs, aud have paid those old
rent bills, which has caused you to
live in so many different houses dur
ing the last few years, yonr c o n
science—if yon have any—may be
easier. Bnt one capable of deeds so
dark and loathsome, is so low in tbe
scale of moral depravity that he feels
no compunctions of mind at any
erime whatever, and is as void of
conscience as a stone.
Yon say that the people will con
sign “ Monitor” to oblivioD. Well,
they have already given tbe Sentinel
such a fate, as it is now almost a
corpse, and only awaits a little time
to pronounce its requiem.
When an outraged com m unity de
mand it, we will again take up the
pen to expose error and vice in what
ever form it may preseut itself, for
this is our purpose in writing. We
are not seeking political notoriety.
More Soon,

The Sacramento Union s&ys: “ It
has been remarked by a large por
tion o f the Eastern press, aa well as
that of the Pacific Coast, whick has
taken a just view of the wheat pro
ducts of the world, that the United
States is the only country which.can
be depended upon to snppiy the
great lack of that indispensable ar
ticle.
All statistical information
points to tbe same result, aDd it is
this great element aud its plentiful
ness iu the United States that will
sustain this country in the coming
contest for recovering the balance of
trade from the commercial marts of
Europe. The New York Ledger re
fers to statistics on the general sub
ject, and the returns of the imports
to Great Britain to Sept. 30th, 1873,
show that the gross value of the im
ports of wheat for nine months is
about $99,000,000, of which the Uni
ted States supplied $42.000,000 worth
The proportion of wheat received
from Russia has fallen from 13,000,-
000 to 7,000,000 hundred weights as
compared with 1872, while that re
ceived from the United States in
creased from 5,000,0u0 to 13,000,000
hundred weights. Wheat is usually
exported from the north of France,
but this year it will have to be im
ported. and the importations of the
south of France will be largely in
creased.
Germauy, Hungary aud
Southern Russia are also deficient in
their crops, and that European deal
