The vast regiou between the valley of
the Platte and the eastern base of the
Sierra and Cascade ranges is rapidly
filling up with stock rakers. They do
not jostle each other; because nearly
all of thetn occupy as much territory as
is comprised in t he smaller States of New
England. Herds of cattle numbering
from 5,000 to 10,000 head, are found ou
the high table lands and in the valleys
while the more uountaiuous country
sustains flocks ot" sheep,-which are pro
ducing some of the best wool sent to
market. Tbe land occupied belongs to.
the Government, and at present does not
cost the occupants a cent not even for
taxes. Uy common consent, one herds
man does not trespass upon the territory
of another, and each decides for himself
how much is necessary to supply pasture
for his cattle.
The Howe City Democrat relates the
following chapter of misfortunes which
have befallen a young lady of that town,
Miss Emma Cox, and her ' family : In
1864 she lived in Jioise with her parents,
where in November of that year her
mother died. In 1865, October 25th,
her brother was murdered by the Indians
about eight miles the other side of bnake
He was shot dead '- while seated by his
wife, who immediately seized the reins
and drove through in safty to the ferry,
with tho dead body ot her husband at
her feet. On the sane road Miss Emma
met with a misfortune which renders her
a cripple for life. Several days since her
father died, also between here and Owy
hee. Father, mother and brother are
all buried in the Boise gravevard. It
is do wonder that the unfortunate youn g
ladj expressed a t wish to never travel
again on the ill fated Owyhee road. , She
is now awaiting the turn of events to go
to her brother, living at Salem, Oregon.

The impcnding coal famine in New

:' In California the -Demoeratio press is
making a great hullabaloo about tho loss
of the foreign miners' license tax which

Democrats for all foreigners, without ; re

Sheriffs have time and again sold out
property of European foreign minors aa
well as Chinese miners, for the tax, many
times with a six shooter levelled ou them.
It is supposed that the next Demoeratio
"principle" will be a, demand I that bo
Chinaman shall leave the State or commit
suicide, lest there may be further loss
of property, road, poll and hospital ' tax.
