as to j a grain is a snnrcient dose.

Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Shearer have just
returned from Huntington bringing Mrs.

the change to a somewhat warmer
climate on the ; Deschutes river may
prove helpful towards her restoration to

ut is gradually improving. Mr. Shear

and that the doctor has hopes of his
recovery,' but he has been ill now since
last November and is very low and
weak, and a very slight relapse might
carry him off tic any time. .
F. L. Boynton of Kingsley brought
up last night from Glenco, Washington
county a stallion that competent judges
of horses flesh pronounce it to be one of
the finest, if not the very finest specimen
of draught stock ever brought into East
ern Oregon. He is Clyde and English
draught and weighed about a week ago
2020 lbs. In color, he is dappled bay,
stands IS hands high and was sired by
the centennial prize winner Major
Braces "Gleneld." He will make the
season around the neighborhood of
Kingsley. Mr. Boynton got him of A.
Tongue, of Glencoe. ,
- A man named Patteson, about 35
yean old, who was formerly in the em
ploy of the company as engineer and
brakeman, was found Monday after
noon lying in a stupified state among the
hay bales in the Saltmarshe warehouse.
The marshal was notified and taking
him in charge the man was conveyed to
the city jail where he was placed in a
cell. Both the marshal and the prisoners
in the jail supposed he was drunk and
paid no attention to him till this morn-
' ing when he was found to be dead. A
partly empty bottle of morphine was
found on the deceased, which at the
coroner's inquest held this afternoon,
was proved to have been bought for
Patteson by John J. Campbell of this
jAty. - The inquest is in progress as we
;go ito press, but there can be no doubt
i hat .death resulted from the effects of
the morphine. - It is said the man had
een suffering lately from neuralgia and
way have taken the drug to deaden the
pain. It is also said he has a wife and
family living sear Ysqnina. i

- The sheep raising industry never had
a brighter outlook in this country than
at present. There were no losses dnring
the winter, the clip this spring will be
large and of tine quality, and the prices
of both wool and mutton have an up
ward tendency.
A private letter from Kingsley to this
office says : "They are all busy in" the
fields here and either plowing or sawing.
The nights are unusually cold and the
grass is not growing. I am afraid we
are going to have a backward spring.
The ground is drying out very fast."
Complaints are made at this office that
persons who have trimmed or cut down
their fruit trees because of their being
infested with ' the fruit pest, very fre
quently have the infested branches sent
down to the river bank, to lie in the sun
and breed more pests. W hy not, it is
asked, burn them at once, and get rid of
both the pest and the branches?
Farming is encroaching .on the stock
ranges throughout Wyoming, the Dako
tas, Montana, Texas and in fact nearly
everywhere, therefore the prices which
meats will command in the future must
be higher than they have been in past
years. V ith this state of anairs existing.
now is certainly a good time to engage
in stock raising, and those who go into
cattle and sheep raising now must derive
profits from the business in the future.

with applicants to enter the forfeited
lands according to the provisions of the
forfeiture act which every school-boy of

Among the provisions of said- act as
every intelligent man knows is one giv
ing the eligible applicant the right to
purchase at $1.25 per acre not more than
320 acres, and make payment any time
within two years from the passage of
said act. Many have come from a dis
tance, intending to enter their lands
under this provision, not having brought
the purchase money with them, as the
law does not aek it and are very much
surprised, on presenting their purchase
applications, at having them refused on
the grounds of not being accompanied
by the cash. I assume that this is a des
potic ruling of Captain Lewis, without a
shadow of au excuse. All the instruc
tions they have had on which they
could possibly base their refusal of these
applications are contained in a letter to
the La Grande office which states "The
presentation of a notice of intention to
purchase under said section will not in

than a bushel of brains to enable any

The vegetable market is very well sup

The grain market is inactive, a slight

any reasonable individual can construe
as a justification of his refusal. And

he imagines he has a right to refuse these

Isaac Joles has discovered and located,
a few miles west of this citv and near
the mouth of Chenoweth creek, a ledge
of quarts that according to the opinion
of old miners who have seen samples of
the rock, gives evidence of very great
richness in silver bearing qualities. Mr.
Joles, today forwarded samples of the
rock to Denver, Colorado to have it
tested and assayed. We shall be pleased
to find that West Dalles has added a sil

Alhany, in L.inn county, is nearly as
far from Portland as is The Dalles, but
wheat is worth in Albany 72 cents while
in The Dalles it brings only 62l. cents.
The difference of 7Ji cents will not i
frequently represent all the surplus
profit left to the farmer after all ex
penses are paid, and is accounted for by
the fact that Albany has what The
Dalles has not, "an open river to the
How Oregon Was Named. .
At a banquet given in Portland the
other night Barney Goldsmith said that
the name Oregon was derived from an
Irishman named O' Regan,' who first
discovered this country and named it
after himself. He said he first learned
this fact from Geo. Knaggs, of The Dalles
"a most truthful man who settled at The
Dalles about the year 1530, who lives
there yet, hale and hearty and as truth
ful as ever," and who informed Mr.
Goldsmith that he was a passenger in
the ship commanded by Sir Francis
Drake in the early part of 1579. Mr.
Goldsmith further testifies that Knnggs
came out to this country to hunt and
fish and that while the early settlers
were sometimes given tojexaggeration .
Knaggs was not one of that kind, and is
not liable to have made a mistake. All
this may be new to the people of Portland
but it is very old up this way.

the records a memorandum of the trans
action." But he has even assumed the
authority to refuse to reject these ap
plications which would place them on
tile for thirty days with privilege of ap
peal, consequently many parties are
held here away from important work, on
heavy expenses and puzzled to know
what course to pursue.
I claim this is an inexcusable and un
just imposition on the right of settlers
and the facts should be known to the
public
I will say further that Col. Lang, act
ing in the absence of Capt. Lewis who is
sick, has at all times shown a willingness
to act in harmony with the original rul
ings and in justice to the applicants, but j
strict orders from Mr. Lewis prevents
him from so doing. J. A. Soesbe.
Another Version.
Engineer H. Farmer, switchman M.
G. Root and C. W. Hudson, yardmaster,
have given us a version of - the accident
that occured to Jim Blakney's team yes
terday which places the matter in a
very different light. They assure us
that the engine was stopped three cars
lengths from the team, and that engin
eer Farmer waited, before moving, till
he received a signal from the driver of
the team indicating that he might back
up. After Mr. Farmer started . the en
gine he noticed that the team began to
back again, when he promptly stopped
the engine the second time, and waited
until tne team and wagon hacked over
the bluff; when the engineer, switch
man and yardmaster went and helped to
get them out. The truth is, as they as
sure us, the driver, when the horses
first began to back a little, . jumped out
of the wagon but the lines got around
the front stakes in such a way that the
more the driver pulled the more the
horses backed, because the driver was
unconsciously pulling them back until
they backed over the bluff. The Choni-
cle, anxious to be perfectly fair, has giv
en both sides of the story and leaves the
readers to judge whether the trainmen
were to blame or not.
The Port ire Right of Way.
The dispatches inform us that senator
Dolph is tracing the history of the ap
plication for the right of way over the
government . land at the Cascades.
Major Handbury had recommended that
the government construct the road, pro
vided tbe state would agree to transport
over the road materials for the govern
ment works. With the usual delay and
red tape nothing has been done further
than that one official thinks it would be
all right, andi another thinks otherwise,
and the boss of the red tape outfit and
high chief cockalorum of the circumlocu
tion office has gone fishing or something.
The chief of engineers had recommended
that the work be ordered done by the
government but the assistant secretary
of war in the absence of the secretary
referred the matter to the judge advocate
though the secretary had no authority,
so the matter is now referred to the at
torney general, or rather the assistant
attorney general. Senator Dolph hopes
for a favorable result. Meanwhile the
circumlocution office, is drawing its sal

""""f "avorably ....
Washington, D. C, April 6. Sen
ator Dolph said today - that unless
something of importance transpired to
prevent it, the president would leave
Washington for the Pacific coast the 14th
inst., that he would like to be in Oregon
when the president was there, bnt his
arrangements were such that he could
not be there ; that he had an engage'
ment of long standing to attend a ban
quet to be given at Delmonico's in New
Y ork by the Protective Tariff League on
the 29th of April ; that the senate com
mittee "on our relations with Canada."
of which he is a member, and arranged
to take testimony at Detroit, beginning
the 30th inst., and after that to take
testimony at Buffalo ; that so soon after
the committee had finished its work as
he could make the necessary arrange
ments, he would start for Oregon with
his family. The senator also has several
cases in the supreme court.
Senator Dolph said that he had spent
the day mostly in tracing the history of
the application of the state portage rail
road over the land of the United States
at the cascades of the Columbia, and for
the privilege of using the government
road there. Major Handbury, - the en
gineer in charge, had recommended to
the chief of engineers that he be author
ized to construct upon the government
reservation out of the money appropria
ted tor the construction ot the canal and
locks a railroad to connect with a road
to be built by the state on either side
and to be used in connection with the
state roud for commercial purposes, pro
vided the state would transport over the
road materials for the government work.
The chief of engineers had strongly rec
ommended to the secretary that Major
Handbury thould be authorized to do
this, but in the absence of the secretary
the assistant secretary of war had re
ferred the matter to the judge advocate'
general for his opinion. He had held
that the secretary had no authority to
authorize the expenditure for the pur
pose, and that the state must build the
road and should be required to make
application to the secretary for the priv
ileges desired, and furnish a description
of the right of way that the secretary
might make the necessary regulations.
The matter has now been referred to the
attorney-general and is in the hands of
rj rtuTu: x . .
imgv ruuiipu, aesiumt utiuriiey-gvii-
eral. Senator Dolph presented the
matter fully to Judge Phillips and the
attorney-general on behalf of the state,
and believes that the opinion of the
judge advocate-general will be overruled,
and it would be held that the secretary
had authority to authorize Major Hand
bury to proceed and construct the road.
The decision is expected soon.
