Nobody has vet said that of our goods. They are cheap; palpably so.
t Look at them in every light, weigh them, measure them, try them any
way you will, they are indisputably cheap goods.1 So cheap are they
that a great many who hear about out piices say at once;
involved comprise 2,500,000 acres,
all of which now are in hands of
third parties. ,
The lands were given to the
Btate to secure the construction of
the roads across the Cascades, from
Eugene and Lebanon to the eastern
portion ot the state, and it is gener
al! acknowledged that they were
well appropriated, as the roads
were needed, and the land were at
that time practically of no value.
The state, however, usual in such
matters gets ns little good as poss
ible.from the arangement. The
roadsV-ere built after a fashion, or
supposed to be ; at all events Gov
ernor Woods and Governor Grover
certified that they were built, and
the lands were transferred by the
companies, and by them sold to in
nocent third parties.
One of the first things to be de
cided ir. the case ,is whether the
government can go behind the cer
tificates of the governors of the
state and pronounce them fraudu-
-..lent, and take the land from thein
IKmont third parties who purchas
ed them on the patent of the
Btate. Orejonian.
The result of this action will be
to perfect the title of companies
claiming the land to the same.

The Multuomah courts have re
deemed themselves by the convic

conceded to have wen a red hand

without cause, but after the first
trial it was thought he would come
clear. Though the second jury
has convicted him of murder in the
first degree, and Olds will have to
bang. The result will raise the
reputation of Multnomah courts in
the estimation of the people, and
they will begin to feel theie is stiil
