A flood of bills were gain introduced today, sons good, soma bad, some indifferent, a great many ef these will of coarse be sacrificed ia eoaa mlttee, but every introducer seems to have faith in his measure. In the senate this morning among the bills read first time were the following lij Bancroft, to regulate assessments ; by Willis, to establish the port of Colum bin; by Matlock, creating an Oregon world's fair commissioner ; by Bancroft, to punish tampering with railroad tracks : by Cameron, establishing a state mining bureau; by Weatherford, exempting homesteads; by Maxwell, fixing salaries or county treasurers; by Cross, regnlat ing the payment of court clerks.

Memories of 48, of Pike's peak, of Leadville and tha Black hills are recalled by ta nan Juaa gold excitement. Reports differ widely concerning the extent ana prom ableness of ths new placer diggings, bot there seems to be good reason to believe that there has been an Important dis covery. The fact that this discovery is In a region comparatively new to gold hooters will intensify Interest and aog tn.ni ih belief that another 1 Dorado has been found. The fact that a new gold field ia near tha Carriso mountains -;n taut in a thorough exploration of tbe mountains by gold banters. This will settle the question as to whether Oiara is cold in the mountains or not. An important gold discovery woold be a most exoellent thing for the world at large. It might prevent the further pal ling apart of the relative value of gold aau aiiver. AM mr-OBTAMT mCLIMS. All AnlTtef te rareaaee VnMM at. M. Laade Altai ea. S. !.

The Heppner Gasette ia in receipt of the following from the La Grande land office, which, as our readers will pr eeive, is a copy of very important cor respondence regarding the rights of act' tiers to purchase forfeited railroad land after Feb. S, 1883. We publish it in full, that our readers may become acquainted with the methods of acquiring title to lands such as are referred to. It is from the La Grande land office to F. II. Bnow, Pendleton, and reads as follows: "Replying to your letter of Jan. 1, 1893, enclosing commissioner's letter of Oct. 7, 1892, aaking what time settle ment was required upon landa forfeited bv act of September 29, 1890, before parties can have the benefit of the ex tenaion of time granted by act of con rises approved Jon ta, 1892; we wired the commissioner and received nndar date of Jan. 4, 1893 the following "Register and Receiver, La Grande, Or. Beaidene mast bav been estab lished on or prior to Jnne 29, 1862, and have been anbaisting at that date. Con tinuous reeidenc sine that date ia not required by tha act. W. M. rrrosa, Commissioner." "After Feb. Sd, 1893, all parties ap plying to purchase lands forfeited by act of September 29th, 1890, must show that on Jena 25th 1892. that they were actually living upon the tract for which tbey apply. very respectfully, A. Clearer, Register." AiTleaa Cfcalera. mat the Daiit Rarauxa, Wnateom, Wash.) "T. C. Burnett, the democratic candi date for sheriff, waa taken violently ill at Clearbrook. He had all the symp toms of Asiatic cholera, and for an hour or two it was feared he woold die. They finally cave him a does of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which revived him until a physician ar rived." That is precisely what tbe manufacturer of that medicine recom mend for cholera. Send for a physician but give their medicine until the physi cian arrives. If cholera become preval ent in thia country next summer this preparation will be In great demand be cause it can always be depended upon.

The recom mendation of the presidential electors, after easting tha vote of Ksw York for Cleveland and 8tovenson that Murphy of Troy be elected to take the plaoe oi Hiaaock ia the senate, waa tha red rag and mad bull parable renovated. Mr. Cleveland still objects, and his parties lar friends in the state also object This stir up the wrath ot the Hill men who are also Murphy men, and they go cowling about the business of electing Murphy in the teeth of the president elect. Mr. Cleveland ia a private cltlsea, and since he doe not like the eminent Trojan, it would eeem to be quits) the proper thing for him to any so. If Mr. Murphy can get elected without Mr. Cleveland's food opinion, that ia an ex called thing for Mr. Murphy. To be disapproved of by a large fleshy gentle maa who is aoon to dispense patronage from the white house may hav a de pressing effect on ths spirits, yet the chance are that Mr. Murphy will not grieve and go into a decline. But tbe rich crimson rage of Mr. Murphy's friends, because of Mr. Cleveland's lack of delicacy in refusing to pretend to like their favorite is highly interesting. Of course tbe chief value of the inci dent to tha country at large comes from the light it throws on the course of tbe executive who will shape the policy of the next administration. His election last November waa distinctively a per sonal victory. Tbe democrats who de manded his Domination at Chicago knew well that if elected he would not respond readily to party dictation ; if they did not know this they had atudied his for mer administration to little purpose. While anything like an open rupture with his party may be nearly or quit out of the question it is more likely that he will do, its bidding against his inclination. This probable adjustment of party to president, particularly with tbe senate almost a tie and the two democratic senators from New York inimical to the executive, will, be watched with much interest and some aojicitude. Another such aq nibble aa the Garfield-Conkling affair is certainly not to be desired. TBLIOaVAraiO FLASHES. Th national quarantine bill has fin ally passed the senate. Senator Kenna, of West Ta., died in Washington city yesterday. That ths Great Northern is coming right into Portland, is now bellevad by a great many. Latest reports say Mr. Blaine ha ex perienced another astonishing and un expected improvement in his condition. The widespread suffering in the state of Kentucky caused by the corner in whisky appeals to th charity of the rorld. 8enator Teller says the Sherman silver law will not be repealed, and that "it is morally certain those who desire its repeal might as well arrange their finan cial views with that full understanding." Parties who were burned out in La Grande are sueing the U. P. R. Co. for $6,100 damages; alleging that the fire waa caused by spark from an engine which had passed but a short tim be fore. Peter West of Umatilla county is In trouble for dunning a delinquent for $10 on postal card. It appear that the poetoffice regulations forbid the mailing of a postal card upon which is written a dun for debt due. On June 7th, 1892, according to the statement of Mr. West, the latter loaned to Mrs. Jacinta Cherry, of Milton, the sum of $10. The contents of the postal card as glreu by Mr. West, read aa follows: "When I loaned yon the $10 in June, while your son lay sick, you promised to pay me by the 20th of July, and I am very sorry to now be forced to sue you in order to got hack what I loaned you. So do aot feel ag grieved wheu an officer comes with the net-essay papers, for it is your own ac tions which force me to sue. Don't go to church until you can pay me." The defendant was taken to Portland at con siderable expense for trial before Judge Deady. Condon ha decided to incorporate aa a city. The citisens ar all down on petition for it.

The only activity is In tbe land department where there ia a rush of persona for their final proof on lands, and especially so of securing titles to forfeited railroad lands. Which is limited to th :id of next month. Tba inquiry for money on that account has been met with soma difficulty on account of a stringency that prevails outside of the banks. In some instances large bonuses bsve been paid. The mer chandise situation continues stead v without any material change in price. Provisions and staple groceries are in good stock and price are steady with an upward tendency on quotations especi ally in bacon, hams, and lard, which Is higher than formerly owing to the light corn crop and th small stock of young hog raised the past year in the east. This sUple will rule high throughout the coming season. A suggestion come that our farmer would do better to put wneat into pork than to put into market otherwise.
