Oodbk, Jan. 12. (Special.) 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.

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.

"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.

Albavt, N. T., Jan. 12. 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.

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.

repetition of tha former in business cir

comes in from all quarter of the dull
ness of th season. 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.
