Items. Wapinitia, Or., Jan. 10, 1S92. Editor of the Chronicle : As a few things have come to pass out this way, which may be interesting to the readers of your paper, I will tell you some of litem. - The ground is covered with a few inches of snow, hardly enough for sleigh ing, but plenty to cause old cows to get hungry. Most of our heepmen have rented parture land of our Juniper Flat neighbors, who are blessed with bunch grass, and so avoid feeding hay. Nearly every one in our "neck o' the woods" has had or is just, getting over the "grip." But grip or no grip, onr" young folks still love dancing, and grati fied all. the desire they had for it last Friday evening, at the Wapinitia school house. Music, was furnished by Trip peer's band, and a fine supper was served for the dancers at the Wapinitia hotel. Frank Gabel can tell you whether it was good or not. .'- Leap-year has actually come, an.! I can't begin to tell you how surprised some of the old bachs were when last Thursday Maggie Weberg told Joe Bins that if "he was a mind to" they would visit the city to get a $5 article from Clerk Crossen. Joex is one of the most agreeable fellows in the world and of course consented to it. Thanks to Maggie for making a start. Mr. William Davis,-beUer known as "Sitkum Polikely", and J. I. West are feeding about s:venty steers for early spring market. Miss Ollie Amen of Clackamas county and Miss Mary Cox of Kingsley are vis iting friends, sweethearts and relatives here. Bill Munger has accepted a position as "shepherd" for Jim Abbott. School in Upper Wapinitia closed last Friday. Miss Nancy McCoy, who has been the teacher there, will leave shortly for Dufar. Being that you are short of feed, Perry, just bring vour horses down to my place. Grass in there is good and the pasturage wont cost you a cent. Thank ve. Sam. Zylpha Snodgrass is working at C. W.

The total acreage of wheat in Oregon in 1891 from the figures amounts to 638, 894 acres. . JDimples- ' The old idea of 40 years ago was that facial eruptions were due to a "blood humor," for which they gave potash. Thai all the old Sana parillas contain potash, a most objectionable and drastic mineral, that instead of decreasing, actually creates more eruptions. Ton have no ticed this when taking other Earsaparillas than Joy's. It is however now known that tbe stom ach, the blood creating power, is the seat of all vitiating or cleansing operations. A stomach clogged by indigestion or constipation, vitiates the blood, result pimples. A clean stomach and healthful digestion purines It and they disappear. Thus Joy's Vegetable Saraaparilla is compounded after the modern idea to regulate the bowels and stimulate the digestion.- The effect is immediate and most satisfactory. A short testimonial to contrast the action of the potash Sarsaparillai and Joy's modern vegetablo preparation. Mrs. C. D. Btuart, of 400 Hayes St., S. F., writes: " I have for years had indigestion, I tried a popular Saraaparilla but it actually caused more pimples to break out on my face. Hearing that Joy's was later preparation and acted differently, I tried it and th'e pimples immediately disappeared." Joy's Vegetable Sarsapariila Largest bottle, most effective, some price.

Huntington & Co. this morning, and through theconrteey o Mr. Huntington was permitte'd-to in spect fheir system of, title abstracts, which is one of the most complete and reliable things of its kind ever gotten up,' and is the only set of abstract books ever made for. Wasco county. These books, three in number, were made es pecially . for the lands embraced in Wasco county, and would be useless any where else. They are very ' large, the leaves being 18x20 inches -in size, and contain 2000 pages. Two Sf them are for all lands in the county not included in (own plats, while the other contains all town property. They are so ar ranged that the whole history of the title to any piece of property may be seen with a glance ; so that if a person wishes to know the condition of the title to any piece of land in the county, whether farm or "city property, timber or mineral lands, Mr. Huntington can tell in a few minutes what it might take several hours or" a' whole day to find out at the county clerk's office.. The books are self-correcting, and will to an absolute certainty; detect any error in description that may occur in convey ancing or recording; and by a system of consecutive numbering, it is possible to trace a long chain of title through what ever channel it may come, whether by deed, power of attorney, decree of court or will, in a "remarkably short time and with perfect accuracy. These books need only to be seen to be appreciated. The labor of writing them up ha9 been done entirely by Mr. Huntington who feels a just pride in them. Besides the abstract business, this firm does' a large insurance business, j representing six strong fire insurance I companies, with an aggregate ot capital of $22,000,000, whose reliability was well attested by the prompt manner in which all their losses by the recent tire were settled. I The Pendleton Alllanee Convention. From Seth Morgan, who attended the late meeting of the Farmers' Alliance held at Pendleton, we learn the condi tions under which Melburn, the Aus tralian artificial rain maker, proposes to produce rain in' Eastern Oregon. Mel burn wants $750 for making the teet and $200 against the expenses of himpelf and another man. Mr. Morgan has shown us a blank copy of the agreement that Melburn wants the alliance to sigu, but we notice that Melburn, is very- careful about making any condition as to the amouut of rainfall he proposes to pro duce. As far as the agreement is con cerned any quantity that could 'be legally called "rain" would meet its con ditions and vet it might not be of the i least service in the world to the farmers. The alliance will therefore demand a contract that will keep themselves" safe on this and other conditions as well and they have written Melburn to this effejt. It will be just as well if the alliance is very Careful about signing contracts of this kind unless they have, and know i they have, a dead sure thing. Advertised Letters.

This is a very good showing for Crook county. The town of Medford in this state had a municipal election on the 12th, under j the new election law. The working of j the new law gave great satisfaction. i The "oldest inhabitant" is surprised at the weather of this winter. Heavy rains and the mercury running away up above zero are uncommon occurrences at this season of the year in Crook county. Ochoeo Review." Petitions were signed in this city Monday for Mr. Gilbert, of Gilbert & Snow, attorneys for the Union Pacific railroad of Portland, to" be appointed federal judge. There seems to be a de termination to have a corporation attor ney for this place. Salem Jourtial. C. A. VanHouten, of the B. S. L. Co., says this has been a hard winter on sheep, owing to the grant amount of rain that has fallen. The heavy-wool sheep of this- county do not stand rain well. "When their fleeces become thor ougly wet they will not travel around to obtain food and keep warm. Ochoco Re view.

The Ch eos ice has received the follow ing: Wasco, Or, Editor of the Chronicle: , Jan. 11, 1892 It is reported here by Mr. Moody him self that at the time he was buying wheat last fall and paying from 5 to 6 cents more per bnshel than other buyers, he shipped to San Francisco and got bet ter prices than anyone else and there fore could bid higher and t his explains whv he could ship by the 17. P. railroad and pay the regular rates of freight. Knowing your paper to be perfectly re liable and always on tiie right side, I would like for you to answer the follow ing question for the benefit of myself and friends: Why can't other buyers ship wheat to Sr.n "Francisco and pay the same prices in this county as Mr. Moodv, less the frefghts from here to The D'nlles? Farmer. There is nothing to hinder them that we know of, but if they did'we do not believe they would make anything like five or six cents a bushel by the process. But the story is not new to the Chroni cle; we have heard it before. :It was invented to explain how Mr. Moody COuld pay within two cents of the Port- iand price for wheat, while the freight rate was 10 2-5 cants a Imsbel from nerej 1 10 portland by the railroad. Its main j object was to deceive the farmer and ieai him to lielieve that Mr. Moody was not being used as the tool of the Union racinc in tne euort oi mat. company iv crush the people's boats. But it wont hold water. It won't bear the light. If M. A. Moody had not been the tool of the railroad company he would have shipped his wheat by the Regulator, when, as everybody knows, her rates were 4 2-5 cents a bushel less than those of the railroad. More than thie, every pound of Klickitat wheat bought by M. A. Moody was ferried across the river and transferred to the cars, at an addi tional cost of surely not less than fifty cents a ton.when the same wheat could have been transferred to the Regulator from the platform at Rockland without this extra cost. Had M. A. Moody not been obtaining special favors from the railroad he could have saved at least five cents a bushel on every bushel of his Klickitat wheat by shipping it by the Regulator. He was smart enough to save five-cent a bushel by shipping to San Francisco so he says. Why was he not smart enough to save five cents more by shipping by the Regulator? The CiiRostcLE earnestly approves of ; the tollowing bit of advice given by the New York Tribune to the "free silver" members of the present congress: "What the country has to say to these men is simply the direction spoken of old to Jndas, 'That thou doest, do i quickly.' Let not long debate and un : certainty prostrate businestfthroughout i the land. The prospects of trade and industiy are now exceptionally bright. A long contest about the silver question would almost inevitably shake confi- dence and arrest business. Play the po ! litical game quickly if it must be played. ! Make the harm to business as brief and I little as possible.' Send the bill to the senate in a single day : what is tne use of congressional debate about it? The : senate ought to be able to act on a , question exhaustively discussed last i year and then decide without delay or j talk. If the bill goes to the president at , all he will not take weeks or even days, ; to make up his mind what to do, con ! grees may be sure. The republican party is exceedingly willing to meet this issue before the people. All it has to ask is that the industries and trade of the country shall be harmed as little as possible while" the question is pending jn congress. After that the democrats will see how wise they have been. JUST WHAT UR SAID HE WOULD DO. The following telegram is clipped from tho Oregonian of this date : Salem, Or., Jan. 12. -Governor Pcn noyer today directed a letter to the river and harbor committee,. in which he expresses the hope that the commit tee can incorporate in the bill of appro priation for rivers and harbors, tbe sum of $431,500 for a portage railway from the foot of The Dalles to above Celilo falls, on the Columbia river. This ap propriat'on has the unqualified recom mendation of the hoard of engineers, ap pointed to report on the advisability of building a boat railway between the two places to overcome the obstructions to navigation. . ' Tbe sending of this letter 'is in har mony with a promise the governor made some time ago to W. E. Rinehart, of this city when he announced his inten tion, and the Chronicle published it, of doing all in his power to secure a portage around the dalles obstructions. The governor has done precisely what the Chronicle said he would do. . The democratic leaders at Washington are manifesting a desire to prevent the tbe silver question becoming a direct issue in the next presidential campaign. Representative Springer of Illinois, Senator Carlisle of Kentucky, Senator Palmer of Illinois and Representative fO'Neil of Massachusetts are in favor of relegating the question to an interna-" tional congress which they propose to hold in Chicago in 1863. The object of the congress would be to formulate, sub ject to the approval of the countries represented, a uniform monetary sys- . tern and fix the relations which gold and silver should bear to each other. It cannot be denied tiiat au international agreement would be the best settlement of the silver question but it is one thing to call a convention and quite another to get it to agree to anything that would be satisfactory to the free silver men. This effort to shelve the silver question will be-disappointing to the advocates of free silver who nre entitled to expect something more definite from the dem ocracy, after all the denounciiitions they have heaped on the party whom they charge with having demonetized silver in 1873. It is even now apparent, that the scheme will meet with better oppo sition by- sonic of the most prominent democrats. Bland is said to oppose it and delay in silver legislation and Rep resentative Corlbertson of Texas, has no hesitation in saving that tbe proposition is a betrayal of the interests of the peo pie to the money power of Wall street. Senator Chel ton of Texas thinks that the only manly way for the democrats to deal with the silver question is to pass an unlimited coinage law and put it to the test of experience. On the ' other hand Senator "Sherman voices the sentiments of many republicans when he says: "The only way to settle the silver question is to settle it. We have to -. face it and any bills proposing to relegate it to an international congress is a' sub terfuge designed to keep it out of the coming campaign. Pass a free coinage bill and send it to the president and if he vetoes it let him take the responsi bility." This would unquestionably be the manlier course to adopt but it won't be adopted. Hill said so a few daygjtgo and Hill knows. A villanious brute named Andrews in Muskegon, Mich., fraudulently placed his wife in a private insane asylum and then eloped with a wealthy' Miss Mc- Greggor of Jacksonville, Ills. Andrews and Miss McGreggor have gone to Paris. The wronged wife has been left penni less with two small children, one of whom was born while Mrs. Andrews was in the asylum. It is just such vil -lians as Andrews that make a burning hell a moral necessity tinder the govern ment of a righteous God. Representative Hoi man has intrO' duced a bill in Congress for a general forfeiture of all grants of land made to aid in the construction of a railroad op posite to and coterminous with the por tion of any such railroad not constructed and completed within the time specified in the act for the construction and com pletion of such roads. It is thought poesiblo that the bill may pass both houses and the railroad agents and at torneys are correspondingly worried over the matter. . There are some things railroad com panis cannot do. They have been ac cused of buying up courts and legisla tures and they have been known to defy a railroad commission but they could not make a brakeman humble as he is stand on the top of a moving freight train in the middle of an Oregon winter.

A strike was ordered in conse quence with the result that the obnox ious and unreasonableorderwas recalled and the men went back to work. Politicians have long memories and it can scarcely be doubted that had W. L, Hill not been connected with the Cronin affair in 1876 he would have been ap pointed to the vacant federal judgeship in the ninth district. As . s, he seems to be completely out of the race and the president's objection to him has taken the form that any one who received any of Tilden's money could not be consid ered eligible for a judgeship in this administration. . The state land board has made a for mal order to the effect that hereafter no cirtificates should bo issued to intending purchasers of unsnrreyed school lands. The ruling is opposed to the practice that has been pursued for .years and it' shows that the' board' is favorable to actual settlement as opposed to specula tive purchase. . . s An effort will be made during 'the present congress to do away with the free systeln in federal offices and to place ' deputy marshals and other court officials on it salary.. It is held that the fee system results in much hardships through these officials straining the law for the purpose tf making cases in the courts. The latest news from Washington indicates that the president is in favor of appointing Judge Hanfordof Seattle.' to the vacant judgeship of the ninth district if the various disagreements can be adjusted bo as to select a man who may be satisfactory to the people of the circuit. Both Hill and Simon seem to be out of the race. Portland is justly proud of the fact that there has never been a failure of a wholesale house in the city.
