own energetic action, against the armed

ENGLAND NOT RESPONSIBLE.
The Advance Into the Transvaal Un
authorized. -
Chicago, Jan 3, J. B. Weinberg, of
Johannesburg, who is at presensojourn-
ing in this city, says that the. invasion
of the Transvaal was in no sense an
effort on the part of England to annex
the celebrated South African gold fields.
The people of Johannesburg would fight
to a man against coming under British
rule.
"When the Transvaal was unknown
for its riches in gold and diamonds,"
Mr. Weinberg said, "the laws concern
ing the naturalization of newcomers were
the same as in the Orange Free State,
and very similar to naturalization laws
of the United States. When the country
began to fill up with miners and people
interested in the gold and diamond in
dnstries, the Boers changed the laws and
made it impossible for anyone to become
naturalized. Then a high taritt was
placed on everything the Boers were not
likely to use. Particular enmity was
shown to the mining industries. In this
way the republic succeeded in levying
fully 90 per cent of the taxes on the new
population,' which was denied citizen
ship, in order to prevent newcomers
from making an effort to equalize the
burdens.
"It was five years ago that the nation
al union, to remove these gross abuses,
was organized at Johanesbnrg. It took
in its membership all the more progres
sive mining men, many of whom were
Americans and Germans, who would bit
' terly oppose any attempt on the part of
England to annex the countrv. Even
the British residents would oppose any
scheme for the country's subjugation
In my opinion the national union has
given np peaceful means for ' obtaining
reform, and is calling Dr. Jamieson to
help its members overturn the republic.
. After trying all these five years to secure
some concessions from the Boers, the
national union has doubtless concluded
they will never make any headway until
the old government is overturned. That,
it seems to me, is all that Dr. Jamieson 'a
invasion means. He has evidently de
termined that" he will aid the foreign
element in upsetting the Boer govern
ment, and the next that will be heard of
it will be its accomplishment. The
movement has been on foot for some
time, and the doctor will not stop half
wav when once Btarted."

An Old Friend Beard From.
Oneff Capt. J.W. Lewis' friends in
Kentucky has been heard from in a
manner very gratifying to that gentle
man. At the recent meeting of the G.
A. K. in J&.entucKv, uoi. it. ai. is-eny
was. elected department commander of
the Kentucky division, and one of his
first acts was to appoint Captain Lewis
an aid-de-camp on his staff, an honor
much appreciated because it came un
sought. Colonel Kelly and Captain
Lewis served together during ths war,
and the following clipping from yester
day's Oregonian shows the possible
honors in store for the distinguished
Kentuckian : i
Among the many prominent Republi
cans who have been named as possible
candidates for the United States senator
ship from Kentucky, is Colonel, R. M.
Kelly, the editor-in-chief of the Louis
ville Commercial. Colonel Kellv is one
of the brainiest men in the Republican
party in Kentucky, and possibly the
best posted on national affaire. His
election to the position of department
commander of the Kentucky division of
the G. A. Pi. attests to bis popularity,
and there are hundreds of his comrades
anxious to have him enter the senatorial
race and be elected to that position.
Mr. Smith French brought to The
Chbonicle office today a sample of the
Kaffir corn, which is creating something
of a stir in the agricultural world. This
corn is said to be well suited for dry cli
mates and to not only provide good feed
for horses and cattle, but to be ground
into flour, from which excellent bread
can be made. Tomorrow The Chbon
icle will publish an article upon the
subject of the Kaffir corn. The subject
is one of real interest to the farmers of
Eastern Oregon. Mr. D. M. French,
who leaves Wednesday (o attend a meet
ing of the regents of the State Agricul
tural school, will ask that experiments
be tried in growing Kaffir tTsee whether
it will justify all that has been said
about it. 2.

PRESIDENT' AND THE SYNDICATE
A. Rapture Between Them Because of
the Embarrassment Caused by ,
the tatter's Negotiations. -
New Yokk, Jan. 4. A special to the
World from Washington says it is given
out by a senator, who has on previous
occasions represented the administra
tion, that the president has definitely
broken with the Morgan syndicate. Mr,
Cleveland, ho the senators say, is in
tensely anger with Morgan, and declares
that the syndicate's action in preparing
to take a loan was entirely unauthorized,
and has greatly embarrassed the govern
ment. There will be no bond call, it is
said, till congress has a chance to act,
4tnd then it will be a public loan, if the
piesident is able to fellow his will.

Editor Chronicle :
Sir: Not seeing anything in your
paper of late regarding the weal or woe
of this community, I thought a few
items might be" of interest.
We are still on top that is. on top of
the snow. Our firstsnow came on De
cember 2d, to the depth of one foot, and
laid on about two weeksand as the
ground was not frozen, it got the full
benefit of the moisture. But on the 18th
it snowed again to the depth of fifteen
inches, making a total snow faU of
twenty-seven inches up to date, but it is
now thawing and is about all gone. '
Stock of all kinds is doing well at
present, bnt if the winter should last
until the first of March feed will be very
scarce.
We have not had a boom in this vi
cinity, but a"(steady growth. There have
been about seven claims taken up heie
this season and there is still room for
some more.
There is some talk of sinking several
artesian wells In this settlement. Then
with a plenty of water and our good soil,
Fair View will be the garden spot of
Wasco county.
If .the honorable county court . will
grant us a road just where we want it
we will be under many obligations tot the
same. .
We met at the school house on Christ
mas eve and had an enjoyable time.
From a well laden tree old Santa Claus
delivered presents to each of those pres
entabout ninety-six in number. There
was a well-organized program,, consist
ing ot dialogues, recitations, vocal and
instrumental music, all Of which was
excellent in a - manner that reflected
credit on the Fair View local talent.

We are having plenty of snow, wind

Mr. James Ward, our Kingsley mer

publicans get in full power again and
we get good prices for our produce, then

ported some better today. It is hoped
that they will all be restored to health
again soon.
Leo Rondaugh is killing some fine
hogs today, which he puts on the Dalles

NEW-STATE' OF UTAH
Inaugural Ceremonies Held
at Salt Lake.
THE CITY CROWDED WITH PEOPLE
Chief Justice Zane Administered the
Oath of Office to Oorernor Wells
and Other Officials Gov
ernor's Address-.
Salt Lake, Jan. 6. Another state has
been added to the American Union, and
the rights of self-government have been
extended to a quarter of a million of in
dustrious, law-abiding and intelligent
people. The acquisition of these long
sought rights causes universal joy among
all classes.
The oath of office was administered to
the state officials of Utah at noon today,
and the new state, with her vast mineral
wealth, great railway systems, agricult
ural resources, churches and institu
tion's of learning, starts off with the pro
mise of a bright and glorious future.,
Among those who took part in the cere
monies were many of the old pioneers of
1857,. who faced the, privations -and
dangers of frontier life to lay the founda
tion of this great common-wealth.
- The city was crowded with people from
all parts of the state. Acting-Governor
Richards had, by proclamation, declared
the day a holiday. AH business was
suspended-and the buildings along the
principal streets were decorated with the
national colors. The day 'was ushered
in by the ringing of bells and the sound
ing of all the steam whistles in the
city. -
After marching through .the principal
streets the procession reached the Taber
nacle at 12'o'clock, where, an' immense
crowd was waiting for tbe inaugural
ceremonies. The g'reat building had
been beautifully decorated "for the occa
sion. Acting Governor Richards,- as
master of ceremonies, called the house
to order, and prayer was offered by WiU
ford Woodruff, pesident of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
He addressed the creator as' the God
of nations and the Father of all men.
He acknowledged the Lord's hand in the
liberty which had tftme to , Utah, and
also in the wonderful transfiguration, of
this land, now teeming with plenty and
abundance. He prayed for the welfare
8f the nation,' to which Utah will be
ever loyal, and for the prevalence of jus
tice mercy, truth and peace throughout
this land, and that it maybe extended
to all .the earth, until every nation re
joices iu fraternal union and universal
brotherhood, And every soul is free to
worship as it sees fit and to exercise the
fullest liberty in every, sense which
does not encroach npon the liberty of
others.
After the prayer tbe "Star Spangled
Bancer" was rendered by a chorus of
1000 voices", under the direction of Pre
fassor Stevens. .
After this the proclamation by the
president of the United States granting
statehood was - read by ex-Delegate
Josepn Rawlins. ,
The oath of office was administrated
to the governor and state officers by
Chief Justice Zane, of the supreme court
of the state.
Governor Wells then delivered his in
augural address. : '

. Wichita, Kan., Jan. 6-. There are
probably two counties in Western Kan

was seen in tbe eky, observable simult
aneously at Pueblo, Colo., and vchita,
a distance of 500 miles. The supposition
is that there are two immense praire
fires in Kansas, a distance of about 150
miles apart. The Eagle, has reports
from 19 towns, which indicate the larg
est fire to be in Kiowa county, and that
it is of vast proportions. - Haviland is
the nearest station which can be reached
and the agent says the nearest fringe of
blaze is probably 15 miles away, but so
powerful that a newspaper can be read
by its light in his town. At St. John

- The Wheat "Situation.
The first of the year finds the wheat
situation not meeting expectations,
The expected high prices have not come
nor cant be said that the indications
are bright, at the present, of any im
mediate rise, While it is true that both
buyers and. sellers are disappointed at
the way things are going, yet it's early in
the .fight and a month- or two amy see a
difference. A European war, .while it
would mean misery on the other side of -the
Atlantic, would be a blessing to the
American farmer. The following, taken
from the Commercial Review, gives an
intelligent view of the situation in Port-
mna : .
Five months of the present cereal year
have passed and txporters have die- '
patched fortv-three vessels, containim;
3,533,721 bushels of wheat and 100,908
barrels of flour to European ports', and
there is still one-half of the present crop
in the country. This does not include
China and tvin Francisco shipments
The obstinacy of holders has been clearly .
shown when wheat was selling at 54c .
per bushel, a great many unloaded tfieir
holdings, the majority held on for higher
prices; at that time we stated, that the
exporters here were paying all the stuff
was worth, and we were accuced cf
standing ' in with them. Now Walla
Walla wheat is worth about 50c, and
possibly some could get as much as 51c
for good round lots, and the prospect for
higher prices seems dim. From the pres
ent outlook ot the situation we would
not be surprised to see prices go still
lower. There is nothing as yet to make
the same advance, though earlier in tbe
season we bad hopes that prices would be
firmer by the first of the year. The out
look then was better, and we end our
selves mistaken, with many others. As
formerly stated in these columns, ex
porters had all the wheat for loading re- ,
quirements to Jan. 1, they saw no ne
cessity to increase their bids for wheat,
and that by the turn of the . year '
this port would be fully cleaned up
with engaged ships, our predictions have
proved true: tbe ships now ir port are '
all finishing, and exporters are not in
need of any wheat for the present, and "'
what ships are likely to arrive will have '
their wants quicklv filled. Tonnage due '"
is very small, ami what should arrive in
Januarv and rebruarv will receive

from sickness or overwork, feel debiliit-

that the blood is out of order, and they
need help, to throw off the miserable

pose is Dr. J. H. McLean's Strengthen
