News Summary.
A neat little pamphlet descriptive of
Kalamath county has been published.
The law school of the University of
Oregon will open its second session in
Portland on October 14th.
Assessor Harold's census shows
Multnomah county to have a total
.population of 38,595, with 10,254 le
gal voters.
A vast amount of Oregon and Wash
ington wheat will be shipped to San
Francisco in the next three months, as
the O. R. & N. Co. will place three ad
ditional steamers on the route for this
purpose.
Rumor says that Mattie A. Bridge,
who has taken a cottage for a year at
Vancouver, W. T., has done so for
the purpose of writing up Oregon for
publication, and that much which
is racy will appear.
They have an enterprising lot of
gamblers over in Cmaha. They offer,
if thev are permitted to shuffle the
cards without molestation for a year,
that they will pay all the street im
provements and keep up the water
works.
Receipts of wheat at Portland last
week were 133,640 centals, of which
37,320 was from the valley and 96,320
from the eastern section, a daily aver
age of 5,340 centals 01 the former and
13,760 centals of the latter. Receipts
for the previous week were 178,800
.centals.
Fred. Winkleman, the half-witted
-unfortunate young cowboy who recently
set fire to the Baker City jail, burning
to death all the inmates except him
self, is slowly recovering from his
burns. He will probably be indicted
for this act, in addition to his original
.crime of murder.
In Garfield county there are 737
single men and only 68 married women.
The Glenwood Echo says: We want
girls in Garfield county, blonds, bru
netts, tall, short, fat, lean, jolly girls
girls who can ride,play the piano, make
crazy quilts, sew, wash, iron and cook
for us. We are 669 girls short here,
and we want all the girls to know it.
Considerable anxiety is felt by sev
eral cattiemen in Baker county over
.the rumor that the agents of a Chicago
firm buying largely in that section re
cently are not reliable. About $49,000
has been paid out in checks on Chi
cago banks to several dealers, and the
rumors of protested checks having
reached I5aker City to other parties.
The agents claim that the matters will
be straightened around in a few days.
The weeping and wailing and gnash
ing of teeth on the part of the San
Francisco merchants, over the loss of
Northwestern trade, ought to be a sol
emn warning to Portland merchants
not to neglect any opportunity to cul
tivate the most friendly relations with
every portion of the country, but es
pecially of the new mining camps.
Trade opportunities, like others, once
neglected are oftentimes forever lost.
The apparent indifference in establish
ing reduction works in this city is a
case in point. News.
Umatilla county advertises its "poor
farm" for sale. Whether the dearth
of paupers renders its maintenance un-
necessary or whether the experiment
of running the farm has been akin to
that of Multnomah county, involving
an expenditure of sufficient money to
pay the board of the paupers at first
class hotel prices, is not stated. At
all events, the farm is for sale on "easy
installments." The East Oregonian
announcing it, says: "Umatilla county
has a poor farm on its hands, and it
is for sale. There is not, so far any
such rush of high bidders as would
warrant the statement that the county
indebtedness could be paid off with
the proceeds of the farm."
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says:
A pressure is being brought to bear on
all hands to displace Chinese with white
labor, af?d from the appearance of
things the abolition of all Chinese la
bor is at hand. The black Diamond
coal company has given notice that all
the Chinamen employed in the mines
will be superceeded by white men,
and the Seattle Lumber & Commer
cial company has discharged the Chi
namen employed in its mill. There
are a great many unemployed white
men looking for work' and it is to the
interest of employers to give them
employment where such a thing is pos
sible. If a little judgment and com
rrjon sense is used the labor ques tion
can be adjusted without further resort
to violence, murder and the destruc
tion of valuable property.
The New Northwest says: "It is
said that over 500 business men at
tended this prize fight last Saturday.
If we had their names we'd publish
them for the information of their wives
and lady acquaintanances, and the
next time similar prominence is given
by the press to such an event, we'll
have a reporter on the ground and
publish, merely as a high-toned society
item, the names of all the distinguished
individuals who lend their presence
and influence to brutality."
Telegram: Brainard, the fugitive
bank president who was kidnapped a
a few days ago and brought to this
country to receive merited punish
ment, for his crime, has escaped and
returned to Canada. A large reward
is offered for his return, and he will
probably be kidnapped again if the
thing is possible. It seems unjust
that a criminal cannot be arrested for
his crime anywhere in the world and
justice be administered to him, but
until this is so kidnapping will proba
bly become a favorite method of se
curing such as are worth the trouble.
If sufficient rewards were offered the
colony of bank officials at Montreal
and other favorite Canadian resorts
might be easily secured in this way
and the ends of justice well served.
The Baker City Sage Brush thusly
speaks of the beef situation and the
prospect for higher prices: Many cat
tlemen are selling off stock at present
that it would pay well to keep for an
other year. Such wholesale disposal
of cattle as have been made through
out Eastern Oregon this season will re
sult in higher prices next year. Part
ies from Montana have been buying
and driving to that section and it
would not surprise us to hear that
these same cattle will be sold in the
San Francisco and Portland markets
next spring at double what they now
bring. If the shipments continue for
another month as they have in the
past the ranges will be used only by
horses and sheep and there will not
be enongh beef to supply the home
market.
Passengers who arrive here over the
Northern Pacific state there is every
indication of a large immigration this
fall from Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and
other cyclone states of the west. On
an average about one-fifth of the immi
gration passing through St. Paul bound
for points west settle somewhere in
Oregon or Washington territory.
Numbers are now going to Colville
valley and settling up rapidly that re
gion. Government has just surveyed
that section of the coun try, and maps
of the surveys are now on file in the
land office at Spokane Falls. Many
of those who arrive here from Califor
nia with a view to oermanent residence,
settle in the extensive region north
west of Harrington, Washington terri
tory. Telegram.
