We see that some of tho papers of
our State are making quite a fuss
about the action of the State Board
of Equalization, and others are try
ing to blame the Governor for the
appointment of the persons he did
as members of the Board. From all
that we can or have seen in relation
to this matter, we think the Board
hate conscientiously performed their
duty, and that the Governor made
good and wise selections when he
appointed the present incumbents as
members of the Board. It will be
seen that the assessment of Baker
County in no particular has been
changed. It would seem that Baker
County valuation had been taken as
the standard or basis upon which the
Board made their equalization from,
and after looking over all the facts
in the case we are satisfied that no
candid, unprejudiced man can say
but what the valuation placed upon
property of every kind by the asses
sor of Baker County was a fair, equB
table and just one, and that it was
fully as low as any man with a just
conception of his duty as a sworn
officer could conscientiously put it.
It is certain that land in all portions
of the State—impi-ovedas well as un
improved—is worth as much thero
as it is in Baker County per acre.—
It is also certain that horses in the
Willamette Yalley are worth more
per head than in Baker County—
their horses are better stock. Hogs
are not put too high in any locality
we know of. In fact, we think the
Board has well and truly performed
their work in such a manner that the
people of o.nr section of the State
will not be compelled to pay more
than their proportion of taxes for the
support of our State government.—
We think the Governor made good
selections in the appointment of the
members of the-Board, and that in
the appointment he intended and
did do justice to every portion of our
State. .As long as Governor Grover
continues to make as good appoint
ments as he has in this instance we
will be found defending him in the
matter, and the People of Eastern
Oregon will say: “ Well done thou
good and faithful servant.”
The *20,000 Race.
The great four mile race over the
track at San Francisco, on the loth
instant, was run as advertised. The
dav was fine, and the attendance at
the track was large, there being six
or eight thousand people present.—
The following horses were entered:
Thad Stevens, True Blue, Joe Dan
iels and Mamie Hall. Thad Stevens
was the favorite against any named
horse at two to one—and pools sold
at about the following rates: Thad

Daniels 890 and field 88. An im

LATE
NEWS.
N e w Y o r k , Nov. 14.—A dispatch
via Jamaica says that on the 1-Oth‘all
remaining Virginius prisoners were
marched out and ten detailed to ex
ecution at a time. When ten Were
murdered another ten were marched
up. Their dead bodies fell across
those of their companions.
N e w Y o r k , N o v . 15.—Duncan r£.
Templeton shot his wife this mobb
ing while they were walking togeth
er in Fortieth street. The wound
was not fatal, but she is permanent
ly disfigured. She is the daughter
of Gen. Babcock, of President
Grant’s staff.
Domestic troubles
were the cause.
H a v a n a ,- Via K ey W e s t , Nov. 15.'—
The following account of events at
Santiago de Cuba was received here
(Havana)1 on Friday morning,- the
7th instant: . Thirty-seven of the
crew of the Virginius were brought
on shore and taken to prison, to re
main there until their executibn,
which was ordered for that afternoon.
Captain Fry, a noble looking old
man, fully a head taller thau the
rest of the crew, when he met' his
men on the wharf, previous to the
march to prison, saluted them all,
and the salute was returned with af
fection. At 4:45 p. m . Captain Fry,
thirty six men and officers were pub
licly shot, despite the protest of all
competent foreign authorities. The
marines were seven minutes killing
the wretched prisoners. It seemed
as if they would never finish: At
last the troops filed past a long row
of corpses. Then the dead carts
were hurried up and loaded indis
criminately with the mangled re
mains. The American Consul has
done all that could have been done;
indeed it was threatened that his ex
equatur would be withdrawn for his
exertions on behalf of the prisoners.
In an interview with Gen. Burriel,
that officer yelled at him, and other
wise treated him disrespectfully.—
The British Consul also made an in
effectual protest against the execu
tions. It is reported that 16 victims
were British subjects.
C h ic a g o , November 17.—The tone
of the Western press generally, on
Cuban affairs,is favorable to a prompt
and energetic action on tho part of
the United States to punish the in
sult to our flag and avenge the
slaughter of our citizens; but a ma
jority are opposed to the annexation
of that Island under any circumstan
ces.
N e w Y o r k , N o v . 17.—A meeting,
attended by about 3,000 Americans,
was held at Steinway Hall last even
ing, Wm. M. Evarts presiding. He
made a strong speech, which was re
ceived with great applause and cries
of “ War! War!” at the close. 8. 8.
Cox also addressed the meetiug.—
Resolutions were adopted calling on
the President to nse any prompt and
decisive action consistent with the
dignity and the precedents of our
Government. The Juniata is ready
for sea. Two hundred and fifty more
men have been added to the force at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and 100
added at the Philadelphia Yard.
Tho steamship Cleopatra arrived

which the Spanish authorities would
