PATENTS TO RAILROAD LAND. 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."

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

school room being too cold and the city hall
too small, permission was obtained to ad

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

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.

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

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.
