The programme will consist of ainging, recitations and muslo and the discussion of the question, "Resolved that intemperance haa been the online of more misery than war Ims." J, It. Sherman, Mri.

Pat ents were iaaued by the general land office at Washington on October 9th, 1800, to the Oregon A, California Rail road Company as successors to the Or egon Central Company, to lands in Oregon granted to the latter company by tbo government. Tlicio patents were received by the county clerk for record this week, and In addition to being recorded in this county, they are also to be recorded In all the coun ties of the state in which the railroad company owns land under this grant. Tbey are Tory voluminous documents and the work of recording them is no small job. HiHTOHY wanted. A great many inquiries have been made recently by persons interested as to why the his tory of the Indian wars, the publica tion of which has been provided for by the legislatures of 1801 and 1805, have not been turned out. The Statesman, of Salem, is unable to answer the ques tion, but understood soma months ago tbat tbe book had been printed and was in the bauds of the binder. Some whose relatives figured in those wars, are anxious to see how their names and deeds have been treated in the work, and are afraid they may die themselves beforo the book gets into circulation. . Fiat Monxy. The session of the local senate of this city Wednesday evening was devoted to tbe discussion of the bill to increase tbe currency by the government issuing one billion dollars of irredeemable greenbacks. The discussion began last week, and a final vote will probably be reached at the next meeting. Harrison Allen took up the entire time of the senate in opposition to the bill, and pointed out very clearly, and to the satisfaction of the republican side, at least, that such a law would not be for the bast interests of the country. He reviewed t length tbe history, origin and mean ing of the word money and its intrin sic value and functions under the con stitution of the United States, and allowed up to ridiculousness tbo falacy of fiat money Mas. Owxs's LxcTnaxs. Mrs. Owen whose lectures were mentioned in these columns last week, returned to 81. Helens after an abaonce of soveral days at Reuben, and on Sunday even ing delivered a lecture, taking for her subject "The Ruts of Life." The hall was taxed to its full seating capacity and the discourse was very interesting. Monday evening the subject was"Lov, Courtship and Marriage," and the ball was again crowded by all claascs and aires, tbe children being there to en joy a good laugh at the expense of the older ones, tbe yourg men and women were there, perhaps to get some idea of bow courtships are conducted, and the older people who "have been through the mill," were there to have' their memories refreshed aa to the pleasures of tbsir earlier Uvea. The meeting was largely attended, and the occasion furnished amusement for the audience. Mrs. Owen and her young friend, Miss (loss, left Tuesday morn iug (or their borne in Stockton, Cat. Ode Wateb System Certainly the water system la our city is one com modity which we could uot oonven iently dispense with, and tbe longer it is used the more we appreciate its worth. Any town, no matter how email, should let ita first acta be to se cure a liberal supply of water, grav ity if possible. Three years ago the Messrs. Orchard fc Jones csme to this city and put in a system of water worka which we could not now get along without. Their work has proven itself to be porfeet in each particular ana tne rates established ny tue gen tlemen are reasonable in the extreme, While Clatskanie people are consider ing the project of a water system at the present lime, they might, with prolit and convenience, consult with Mr. Orchard, who has large experience in sncti work. Mr. Orchard la in such a position that be can furnish all ma terial for such work at such figures that none dare attempt to win pete with him, and aa the system in this city has given universal satisfaction, Clatskame people oould probably do no ooucr imug man to couier with Mr. Orchard. Bounty on Coyotb Scalps. The Fossil Journal, whose utterancea on the coyote bounty question are find ing their way into Eastern papers, oontinuea loyal to its faith. The last issue says : "At a cost of 11200 the Gilliam County Sheepmen's Protective Union has paid for tbe soalps of 1300 coyotes. One has just to think of the progeny that these 1300 varmints would have brought into the world if Permitted to die a natural death to re alise the incalculable benefit the boun ty has been to the sheepmen of this county. It is safe to say that each coyote slays at least five sheep anuunl ly. worth 110 anyway. Realizing that a coyote bounty would benefit the en tire county, the county court added $1 to the sheepmen's bounty, making 2 in all per scalp, and as a result of this not only sheepmen, but every farmer who keeps hogs and chickens enjoys an immunity from those var mints hitherto unknown. It is a com mon sight now to see little pigs run ning at large all over the Mayville flat. Before the days of the bounty it was unsafe to let them get out of sight." DATE FOR THE CONVENTION Meeting of the Republican County Committee. The Apportionment of Delegates to the County Convention Made -Other lloutlne Business. A meeting of the republican county cen tral committee was held in this city last Tuesday afternoon. The meeting wss nailed to order at 2:46 o'clock by Chairman Warren, who stated that His sscretury had moved from the county and that an election to fill the vs- eunny would bs In order, and 1. Q. Watts was so chosen. Murrlsnn Allan was eleoted a member of the committee for Union precinct to fill sn existing vacaney. The meuiborsof the committee present were II. I Warren, Clstskanis; J.O.

Mr. Allen was appointed a committee of ons to secure a ball In which to bold ths eonvsnUon. For ths list of delegates allotted to each precinct notice the call in another column of this paper. Judge Blanchard was of the opinion tbat tbs different towns of ths county ahonld be given a chance to bid for the place of hold ing tbs county convention, snd nrgsd that the committee be not too basty In selecting tbeplsee of holding ths convention, bat the proposition was voted down. Mr. Hodgs suggested thst ths secretary be instruoted to prepare a list of all aspir ants for ths various offices and furnish them to tbe various clubs of the couaty In order tbat ths people of tbs different precincts might get together snd agree upon certain men which tbey would support In tbs eon. vention, but tbs Idea was not considered practicable by the committee. As it wss supposed tb at nearly every man present was an aspirant for soma office, Mr. Con nell suggested that la order that the gentle men present might know who tbe eandl dates were, those who were actually candl dates should stand up. But strange to say the chairs seemed to be coated with glue, and not a man arose. At 4 o'clock tbe meeting adjourned. CLATSKANIE. R. 8. Hntton began bis school at Mayger this week. N.

An opportunity was given on Wednes day for about a doxen men to obtain em ployment working on the rsllroad grade near Randa's In the swamp. Tbe work de sired seems to be for experimental purposes, intending to ascertain the best method of obtaining a railroad track over tbe swamp land so f lontiful about the prairie. A. B. Little spent a day in our city last week in a friendly way. He did not have bis compass with him so as to sight for corners, but had his eye open for pointers tnat ne might line up the situation politic ally. He is mentioned ss an available can didate for a county office and baa the ability to All any office in the county tbat ne may be sighting for. Another water meeting was held last Friday at City hall with rather a small at tendance, so that nothing practical was done. On Saturday evening, however, at a meeting of the city council tbe matter of water for tbe city was discussed snd a proposition submitted to tbe owners for the purchase of the present water system. This looks more like business. Clstsknnle had a sobool meeting on Mon day afternoon that for spice got away with any one held here for some time. The school room being too cold and the city hall too small, permission was obtained to ad journ to Conycrs' hall where the citisens assembled to witness the proceedings. Usually it Is difficult to get mors than a largs quorum out to a school meeting, but rumors In tbe sir snd confidential talks on street corners got out a crowd on this oc casion, which Included a few women, whose Interest had been aroused. Proceedings were comparatively tame until it was an nounced that a director would bs slocted to servs three years. There was a little heslteney in making the nominations, al though everyone knew who the candidates would be. There seemed to be no under standing about who would name the candi dates, but K. C. Blackford and Ed Page were after while placed In nomination snd preparing ballots was ths next order. Tell ers were appointed and tbe school board acting as judges, required a registry of the voters which gave a chance to challenge any not supposed to fill all tbe require ments of the school laws. Tbe challenging power was used very freely, causing both amusement and excitement until any who had doubts about being able to pass ths ordeal refrained from voting. Forty-three votes wore polled, und upon completion of the count E. C. Blackford was declared elected, while tbe present incumbent, O, K. Hlggtns, was elected clerk. J. M. Black ford was the retiring director, and the board In this district now consists of J. E. Hall. W. K. Ttchenor, E. C. Blackford, with O. R. Hlgglns, as clerk. PERSONAL AND LOCAL.

Considerable complaint is being made about the condition of the old plank road between Houlton and Yank ton. It is said that the plauks R'e so decayed that it is not safe to haul a heavy load over the road. A singular fact has been discovered in Judge McGinn's department of the state circuit court. Since the 25th of January there have been fourteen cases disposed of, and all of them but one have been for the defendant. The one exception was a disagreement. Mr. Dolman went to Portland Tues day to lay in liberally in some lines of goods tbat the little birds raid would probably advance in price before the apple trees will blossom. Eventually all values find a common level, but the careful merchant can, by judicious and timely purchases, tide over the temporary rise and not change the re tail price at all. RESOLUTIONS IN THE HOUSE Cubans Recognized by Con gress as Belligerents. Spain Bald to be Making; Prepara tions for War With this Country. WashimotoK, March 2. Cuba bad a field day in ths house. Despite the war talk from Spain, the struggling patriots In Cuba were eulogized and sympathized with In two hours' debate, and the rules were then suspended and ths resolutions by ths house foreign affairs committee were adopted as a substitute for those of tbe senate by an overwhelming majority of 263 to 17. An analysis of tbe vote sbows thst 188 repub licans, 70 democrats snd 6 populists Voted for the resolutions, and 9 republicans and 8 democrats against them. The debate, which preceded their adop tion, was animated and breathed a spirit of liberty. At times it was exceedingly dra matic, especially when forebodings of war were uttered, but there was no stemming tbe strong tide. The setting of the scene was brilliant. Tbs galleries were black with people at tracted by the prospect of the stirring event. In the reserved gallery were many prominent personages. Even the diplo matic gallery, which is usually empty, waa thronged with the representatives of for eign countries. On tbe floor tbe attend ance was ths largest of tbe session. A number of senators came over from the other end of the capital to watch the pro ceedings. Tbe enthusiasm of members and spectators rsn riot several times, and the opponents of ths resolutions cut but s sorry figure when tbey attempted a counter dem onstration. Owing to thebrlef time allotted for debate, members were fortunate in se curing ths floor for two or three minutes to present tbelr views. Hitt, chairman of the foreign affairs com mittee, rose. Immediately a bush fell upon the house. He moved to suspend tbe rules and pass tbe resolutiens reported by tbe house foreign affairs committee for rec ognizing Cuba's belligerency. The resolu tions are as follows: "Resolved, By tbe bouse of representa tives (ths senate concurring) that in the opinion of congress, a state of public war exists in Cuba, the parties to which are en titled to belligerent rights, and the United 8tates should observe a strict neutrality be tween the belligerents. "Resolved, That congress deplores the destruction of life and property caused by tbe war now raging on the island, and be lieving the only permanent solution of the contest, equally in tbe Interest of Spain, tbe people of Cubs and other nations would be the establishment of a government by the choice of tbe people of Cuba, it is the sense of congress that tbe United States govern ment should use its good office and friend ly Influence to that end. Resolved, That the United States has not Intervened In struggles between any Kuio- pean governments and their colonies on tbe continent, but from the very close re lations between the people of the United States and those of Cuba, in consequence of Its proximity and extent of commerce be tween tbe two peoples, the present war is entailing such losses upon tbe people of the United States tbat congress is of tbs opin ion tbat ths government of the United States should prepare to protect the legiti mate interests of Americans by interven tion, if necessary." France May Assist Spain. Berlin, March 2. A dispatch to the Frankfurter Zritung, from Now York, says great distrust has been created by the re port that negotiations are in progress be tween Franee and Spain, which it is said refer to tbe diplomatic attitude of France against intervention by the United States in Cuba. Tbe dispatch adds : "The contingency baa been reckoned on in New York of Spain'a securing the sup port of Frsnce by the cession of islands sucb as ths Canaries, or at the expense of Morocco. Many French holders of Span ish and Spanish-Cuban loans are urging the French government to protect them." The French Paper. Fa bis, March 2. Considerable attention is attracted to the Cuban situstion, which for the present, has the lead in political ed itorial comment and is a subject for die eussion In ths clubs and other places where military men and politicians gather dally. The Figaro, commenting on the action of the United States, says that whils the sen ate's vote, resulting from the violent atti tude of General Weyler, can scarcely be ex cused, the recall of Martinez de Campos was a double error, internally and exter nally, inasmuch as the coming election (in Cuba) may bring surprises. Ths Journal blames tbe United States senate for "palliating the outrages of tbe insurgents and condemning the repressive meaaurea of General Weyler," adding: Europe, ooe day, will have to unite against this method of applying the Mon roe doctrine." ' The Libre Parole expresses the opinion that "the intervention of the United States at every turn la as ridiculous as it is ag gravating. Spain, whioh compelled Bis. marck to recede, will not retreat before Sherman, the brother of ths slayer of the Colorado Indians." President Cleveland Object. Washihoton, March 3. The president and his cabinet undoubtedly are strongly opposed to tbe present recognition of the Cuban insurgents, and to any declaration concerning their independence as embodied in the recent congressional resolutions. The following is not an official statement, but it is known from careful inquiry tbat it Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, dold Medal, Midwinter Fair. 'DR; CREAM mm Most Perfect Made. 40 Year the Standard. accurately represents the administration's views of the matter: "While ths president and members of tbe cabinet personally feel the sympathy, com mon to all Americans, with the Cubans who are contending for self-government, they feel that In tbelr official action they should not depart from ths well settled principles which were followed by former presidents and secretaries of state during prior Insurrections in Cubs. Tbe pretense of recognizing what does not exist, is al ways, and justly, regarded asan unfriendly act and a gratuitous demonstration of moral support to ths rebellion." It Is understood thst ths sdminlstration does not think tbe present stage of affairs In Cuba lustiflos any change in the attitude of the government. Its function is to sot snd to express feeling. The only action now proper Is to continue to bold responsV ble for Injury to American citizens the only government, so far as appears, that bas, and maintains, authority In Cuba, until some other government succeeds, at least temporarily, in supplanting it.
