thing that is always pleasing to an in

A case started In the Justice Court of
this precinct last week, wherein the
state was plaintiff seainst Ed l.anibor-
son, of Kcappooso, and Tony Karlmr, as
private prosecutor, was settled, out of
court lust Monday. The controversy
grew out of supposed individual prop
erty rights, but both parties agreed to
certain contract stipulations and the
settlement was much the wisest courm
to pursue.
In the Circuit Court for this county
was filed a suit, on Thursday of last
week, by Daniel C. ltowors, guardian sd
litem of Curtis 0. Bowers, aiisimit J. 11.
Peterson, and the Star Logging Com
pany, of Beaver Valley, for fc!l, 000 dam
ages alleged to have been sustained by
Curtis C. Bowers, an infant, who was
employed as brakoman on a logging
train. The sum for damages is churned
by reason of the use of a defective car
upon which plaintiff was employed as
briikemsn, and who, through accident,
suHtained the loss of an arm. The case
will be tried at the coming term of
Circuit court.
A meeting of the bicyclists of this

should meet with encouragmeiit from
all cyclists. Itt construction would
not only afford means of enjoyment,
but would havo a tendency to iienellt

Prieslers new stump puller will really
pull a stump out of the ground, can see
what it has done by looking over W. K.
Ticlienor's field near his residence. The
number and size of stumps and roots
that are scattered over that field outside
the ground that protected them for so
many years, suggests that some very
powerful force lias been brought to bear
to dislodge them. Priesler and his ma
chine and a team of horses did it. The
roots are there to show for themselves
and the machine is there too, unless it
has been removed very lately. As a
puller it is a little giant, and no mistake.

POLITICAL NOTES.
Free silver at 16 to 1, anti-expansion
and Bryan are the demands of the f un
ionists of Oregon, and on the tide it is
understood that desire for office is the
momentious incentive.
It wat surprising to the Democrats of
Ohio that Brother-in-Law John R. Mc
Leod was to send an uninstructed dele
gation to Kansas City. But Mrs. Dewey
hat explained tho mystery.
The Silver Republicans have decided
to call themselves "Lincoln" Republi
cans. That is enough to make honest
old Abe turn over in hit grave. Lincoln
never favored any legislation that would
allow a dishonest man to defraud his
creditors under cover of the law.
As a kicker the Democratic party is a
screaming success. As a clog on the
wheels of progress it beats the air brake.
As a promisor it outpromises the man
who never pays his debts. But when it
comes to keeping its pledges the record
has an entirely different complexion.
Wm. J. Bryan in delivering speeches
for the Inst several months has not men
tioned "the low price of wool, sheep,
cattle, goats," or that farm products fol
low in price the declining value of sil
ver." lie has possibly forgotten that
line of argument for reasons not entirely
known to himielf alone, however.
The Populist party formerly advocated
that unless the management of the gov
ernment was turned over to their tender
care, and both old parties thrown out,
me country would go to "tne ban," but
they have so far changed their minds as
to concede that it will be belter to tutu
it over to them and the Democrats. This
is evidence that they are progressing a
little. Their ideas may continue to im
prove until thev may conclude that it is
better in the hands of the Republican
party alone. Corvallia Gazette.
Some of the Democratic papers which
were howling two or three years ago
mac tne aonar was going ud and ail
commodities goingdown, are now shriek
ing that the dollar is declining and
everything else it increasing. They do
not seem to understand that it is the
prosperity that has made the change.
and that the Republican party is respon
sible for the prosperity. Whenever times
are good the prices of labor and of all
sorts of merchandise go up. This is what
is taking place now. If the Democrats
and Populists were wise they would keep
silent. By their outcries they are call
ing attention to a state of things which
will make lots of Republican votes now
and hereafter. Aetorian.
The Populist party started out in this
state with a great flourish of trumpets a
few years ago, and directed its batteries
against the Republican and Democratic
parties, as the instruments through
which all tho baneful influences that
were sapping the Nation's lifeblood were
working their destructive purposes. It
smote and spared not. It was second
in numerical strength in the state as a
political organization; then it flirted
with Democracy and lost its place. Now
there is a union between the good Popu
lists who started to do up the Republi
cans and Democrats, because they were
ixitn pad, and the sen tame iiemocrats.
for they are no better than they were
wnen tney came in for denunciation m
Populist platforms. Verily, politics will
make strange bedfellows, says the For
est (Jrove Times.

Unstamped Deeds.
A matter pertaining to the handling

which may come to the County Re

Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
received a number of inquiries from

Do justified in recording deeds, etc.,
which are sent to them unstamped.
They represent that deeds are-often re
ceived from persona who cannot conven
iently procure stamps, asking that they
be affixed by the Recorder. The Com
missioner answers in the negative, and
in his reply states that the grantee or
person who makes or issues the instru
ment, should affix and cancel the stamp.
If he omits to do so, he incurs a penalty
of not more than f 100. If however, the
omission is inadvertent, he may pres
ent the instrument to the collector
within a year from the date of issue,
pay the stamp tax, and present the in
strument for post-stamping. The Com
missioner advises that when an un
stamped Instrument for record be
received, it be returned to be stamped,
charge for postage and the time occu
pied in the correspondence made nec

Oregon Politic.
It is an off year, indeed, in Oreeon
politict when tome new features or
phases of party managemement or pol
icy is not developed. In almost every
campaign something new or interesting
turns up politically in uregon. At tne
National capital the oldtimers in official
life are always looking for something to
happen out of the ordinary in Oregon
politict. One of Oregon'! first Senators
became a candidate for Vice-president.
Another Oregon Henator, reputed to lie
the most eloquent orator in the land,
resizned hit seat to take command of a
regiment, and wat killed immediately
afterward in tne Mairs wuu Diunaer.
The ereat Tilden-Hayee electoral con
test was largely fought out over an Ore
gon vote. Oregon furnished a member
of Grant's Cabinet, and a former Senator
whose rugged sense and rude wit gained
for him a National reputation. Oregon's
constitution prohibited the entrance
into the state of ncorroos or mulattos.
and welcomed "the left wing of Price's
army." After the war, Oregon elected
several Republican Governor's, and
then Pennoyer. Orcaon has furnished
several Senatorial deadlock's, and twice
has elected a Senator at almost the last
minute of the session. Oregon finally
sent to the Senate its only Hebrew
member and now certain citizens and
Democrats of Multnomah County have
nominated an interesting and in a polit
ical aspect, rather a curious Legislative
ticket. Some Democrats are displeased
with it, some Republicans are a little
afraid of it, and whatever happens to it,
there ia the satisfaction of realizing that
Oregon is keeping up its reputation, in
a small wav at least, and doing some
thing politically that is unique if not
startling, and that is worth the dime ad
mission to the performance. Telegram.
