Wm. Bybee.
The present Sheriff of Jackson coun
ty comes of old Kentucky stock, and
was born in Clark county in that State
in 1830. Raised to agriculture he re
mained on his father's farm until early
in 1852, when he emigrated to Califor
nia and struck his pick into rich grav
el at Diamond Springs, where he made
quite a stake. Not liking mining Mr.
Bybee came to Portland in 1853 and
subsequently lived on Sauvie's Island
for about a year, and then came to
Jackson county. In the year of his
arrival here Mr. Bybee was married to
Miss Elizabeth E. Walker, daughter of
Capt Jesse Walker, by whom he has
raised a family of seven children. Mr.
Bybee is entitled to" a front place
among tho enterprising farmers of
Jackson county. He purchased the
donation claim of Mrs., Walker, and
i added to it until ho is now the own-

which his magnificent residence is
built He has been largely engaged in
stock raising and driving, and for many
years had full control of the hog busi'
ness of this county, and his genial
voice is familiar in many a camp aoross
tho Siskiyous. "Billy," as he is pop
ularly called, "was urged by his friends
in 1876 to run for Sheriff, but was
beaten by Mr. J. W. Manning. In
1878 he tried it again, on the People's
ticket, and was elected by a rousing
"majority that required no official count
Mr. Bybee is now extensively engaged
in hydraulic mining, farming, stock
raising and keeps a vigilant eye on the
affairs of his office. His name in this
county is a synonym for generosity.
His home and hand are always open to
the needy; no one ever appealed to him
for charity in vain, and it js often re
marked that "Billy Bybee" has done
more for the general prosperity of
Jackson county than -any other of its
citizens. In politics Mr"." Bybee has
changed from an ultra Democrat to an
Independent, voting and thinking just
about as he pleases.

When Governor Thayer was elected
Jaiti June, it.-jvas under a strong pVes-
buro "from those demanding ref oi in.
It was generally understood, and in
deed Mr. Thayer distinctly assured the
people that he would not under arty cir
cumstances accept any other compensa
tion than that provided by the consti
tution. Mr. Thayer knew exactly
what that sum was and he was well
aware that it was insufficient, for he so
stated prior to his nomination. In the
light of subsequent events it is just
possible that the candidate was shrewd
enough to see an advantage to be gain
ed over his brethren of tho bar; "but
wliether he saw it or not he certainly
has obtained a very advantageous posi
tion as an attorney. We do not say
that Mr. Thayer's appointment of the
Supreme bench entitles him to any spe
cial favors in the Supreme Court, but,
as a French, philosopher once remarked,
"Most men are human," and the gen
eral public appear to think that Gov.'
Thayer is a very proper and desirable
attorney to conduct cases before the
court of his own creation. In justice
to at least a majority of tho bench the
public are undoubtedly-wrong, but tlfc
services of the Governor continue in
demand, and those who expected him
to confine himself to affairs of State,
are sorely disappointed at his in
creased popularity as a practitioner.
The wave of reform on which Thayer
"iitpri into office seems to have sub-

Our Democratic "exchanges are in an
ecstacy of delight at the appointment
of Representative Whiteaker to the
chairmanship of the committee on Rev
olutionary Pensions. Glorious land of
the West, wherp prairie and stream
and mountain commingle, and the great
river yields its yellow tribute to the
sea, how proud thy people should feell
Splendid State where the Occident and
the Orient, the budding maiden and
the hoary patriarch of nations embrace;
where the lingering rays of sunset kiss
the icy brow of "Hood" with a sad
"good night" howliappy thy children
should be. Just think of the honor
which must swell the breast of every
Oregonian Twenty long years since
we shook off our swaddling clothes and
sat down in the National council and
this, is the first time our Representative
has received a chairmanship. We feel
that we are all honored, every man,
woman and baby in this commonwealth
are all "chairmen.". And of that im
portant cSmoiitJt'rei' It is true the old
heroes of '"Galley Forge and Bunker

True that.ajth$ pension box is locked
and tlieey justed, in the wards, but
no matter, p. We can sit through our
honored representatives in the commit
tee room, filled only with the intangi
ble .shadows .of the bravo old. men, and
learn the unwritten history of the Rev
olution. It is .such an easy honor for
"Honest John" after his tiresome ride,
just when hf needed rest, that we
think it hard, to take any of it away,
and suggest tlat the people of Oregon
take the shadow andlet Whiteaker Jceep
the substance .of the honorable recogni
tion if there is any.

TUXOITLOOK IN JOstl'imC
A recent visit to Kerbyville impress
es us witli the belief that there will
soon be a reaction in Josephine coun
ty. For a number of years the yield
of tho mines has been decreasing, but
new discoveries and new methods of
working old ground bid fair to give
mining industry a new impetus. Ly
ing between Illinois river and the wa
ters finding their outlet on tho coast,
and between Rogue and Illinois rivers
is a very large extent of country di
rectly in the gold belt that has never
been prospected, and therp is no reason
Why additional discoveries should not
be made, 5 in .that region. Many of
those" now crowding into Silver and

the coming Summer. Agriculture in
that county seems to have been neg
lected, owing probably to the gradual
decline of the mines, but it strikes a
casual'observ-er that where the area of
good and productive lands are so limit
od that farming"should be self sustain
ing, and we were informed of several
unoccupied tracts of land that might
be secured at government price or by
the homestead law. Altogether tho
indications are that the mountains and
vallies of our-sister county will be soon
filled up anda new and prosperous era
commenced. The possn ility that the
harbor of Crescent city may bo im
proved, and tlie freighting of Jackson
county be again centered at that point,
is encouraging" to our neighbors, and
we hope the day will come when they
as well as ourselves will be benefitted
by it.

Washington, April 28. In the
Supreme Court to-day the following
case was disposed of:3. Jennison, ex
ecutor, plaintiff in' error, vs. S. T.
Kirk. In error to tie Supreme Court
The question presented by this case is
whether tho ninth section of the Act
of July, 18GG, confers upon one who
has water rights the right of way for
ditches to be used for mining purposes
over public land of the United States,
occupied at the time by another, -with
no other title than that of proper pos
session. The Supreme Court of Cali
fornia decided that it did not, and its
judgment is here affirmed. Justice
Field delivered the opinion.
Remarkable Vitality. A few
days ago we visited Joseph Hess, whose
arm was amputated by Dr. Aiken
about two weeks siiice, and found the
stump completely healed over, an oc
currence which is extremely rare in so
short a time. The patient had dischar
ged his nurse and was taking care of
himself.
