.Soiitherji Oregon Opinion.
JicKsoxvuiE, Or., Sept 29, 1885.
Ed. News: Your course regarding
an extra session meets general and
htartr approval among Republicans
here. It is rumored that Governor
Moody will convene the Legislature,
and if he does so, it may .have an op
portunity to undo the bungling and
rnischievioUa work performed at its
late session. One law, yet unnoticed,
that which virtually places county.
courts t the Mfrcjofjbridgejjcontrac-,
tors, has already worked badlv in this
oounty, and should be repealed at
once. Proper amendment of the
Keady law would save the State much
vexatious litigation, and general re
vision of the work of the late Legis
lature would purify it of its uni&vory
odor, and save the Republican party in
this State. Olhewise that party, hav
ing had a majority in the Legis'ature,
must be held responsible for its sins of
commission and omission, and it the
Governor refuses to give it an oppor
tunity to rectify its mistakes, then he
will be held responsible for whatever
disaster may occur to the party at the
next election.
The Senatorial question, with us, is
not sfcondary. "We feel that, with a
largo popular majority and a clear ma
jority in the Legislature, we are en
titled to a Republican Senator to bold
for the full term, and we would not
give a fig to have even the man of our
choice appointed for omy two years.
Therefore, if the Governor should ap
point the one man e prefer he will
lake a horn of the dilemma that will
not satisfy us, and find himself severe
ly gored by the other. If the Leaixla
lure is convened its first act should be
a stringent law excluding long haired
cranks, temperance howlers, woman
suffragists, Senatorial strikers, and all
other ppsts with axes to grind from
the capiiol building, and let it gather
common sense it has and confront the
question before it in a business like
way, only with the public good in
view. It is time for the Governor to
fpeak, and now let him be either a
man or a mouse. ''Portland News."
We learn that two or three more
carloads of Ch'namen have arrived at
Delta, to work on the railroad, and
that several Cbinamen' haie 'reached
S'ate Cretk, by wagon road from
Delta, to work in the tunntls above
Slate Creek.
When th O t C, Railroad is com
pleted, Portland may probably be
made a terminus for the Central Pacific
and Southern Pacific; the same as San
Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles,
San Jose, Stockton and Marysville; to
all of which points the overland rates
will be the same, thus giving all points
between the same rates for Eastern
freight, with of course a different sched
ule for local business, rated according
to distance hauled. This would of
course make the Central Pacific and
Southern Pacific competing lines with
the Northern Pacific in supplying Ore
gon and Washington Territory.

ville. Thomas Callahan and his wife were
divorced about a year ago. but present
ly concluded that they had made a
mistake and were married again by a

the Jnstice had forgotten to make out

out of the matter, they were mirried
to each other for a third time not long

Siberian Prison Life.
If the statements of Dr. Bream, a
German who has' been studying Si
beria and the treatment and mode of
life of the- Siberian prisoners, can be
relied on, the Siberian system of im
prisonment is an improvement on
many other s)8tems. He thrtws nrw
light on Siberia, whereby almost
everything asuumes a radically differ
ent appearance from the conclusions
regarding it?' which .have' he'rtfcfore
beenflroBWe.HeindErMlTllB
single one of the horrors usually ac
credited to the exiles. He says that
the long march on foot ns longer ex.
ists, as a portion of it is now facili
tated by steamers. Over the portfen
where it is necessary to travel on foot,
the dailv stages are on'y seven miles,
and every third day is a rest, during
which the prisoners have an' oppor
tunity to beg or earn- something by
performing little jobs for the. people.
The officials, according to BrdiJi, are
still warmly interested in the priso
ners; they advise- them, assist and en
courage them, and lrfftor to reconcile
them to their fate. The family of the
prisoner is allowej to follow him into
exile, and he is allowed to care for
them. It is in this direction that the
Siberian system has a feature superior
to that of any 6. her The cons
quence of this system is that the con
vict usually settles down for life, as
he is allowed to enter on any pro
fession for which he is suited. Gov
ernment land Citn be had on lete
cheap, and he suffers no loss of social
consideration on account of being a
convict. The only exception is in
roses of prisoners sent there for a
higher class of offenses, and who have
a sentence of dimb communted. They
have more haidship to endure, as they
are compelled to wear chains and are
forced to work in the mine lor a cer
tain number of years.
The Alaska Explorer.
Dr. Wm. E. Everett, who was sent
by General N. A. Miles two years ago
on an exploring tour into Alaska, re
turned to Vancouver yesterday.
When he started out he crossed from
Chileat to the Yukon river, descended
that and mapped it, went north
through the country to BuhrhigStrait,
where ho wintered, then down along
the Aleutiands, reaching' Kodiae in
July. There he took a Sealing vessel
to San Francisco, thence home. On
his trip the doctor collected all thn
fauna and flora of the region passed
over, geological ELeci-neni, and has
notes of the native tribes, languages,
etc., and has made charts of the coun
try explored. He hasp) baWy seen
more of Alaska than any other white
man. He made his explorations with
out a white companion. Vancouver

times that day the boys, who. wro
unusually quiet, looked over at hisr
sase, and wondered if the old man
wouldn't miss it, and th6 office clock,
and the high stool, and his old stiek,
and the big solemn looking spectacles
he used to wear. Of course he'd get
along; but for so manv years thoser
things had been his daily companions,
the boys wondered if the old man
might not miss them a little bit, at
first. I think, indeed, that Slug Severe
said: "We ought to have sent theiu
with him; we could have buried them
with the old man anyhow," ho said:
You see, Slug Seven was a good print
er and a good man, but he used to
work on a sage brush and alkali paper
down in New Mexico and out in Ari
zopa, and he had a whole brain full o?
heathenish ideas. He wanted the
bays to put on subs that night, so tha
regulars could go out to the cemetery
"bone yard" Slug Ssven called it
and burn the stool, case, and the olA
shoes that served for the old mait's
private hell-box, on the old printer's)
grave.

shake his head when the boya stopped
a the stone to jeff before, they went

would say; I've been there, and I
kn w. Night of the 27th of Novem
ber, 1844, I came into this town a
b'.lin', nof, a cent in ray pocketand
enough tamarack in my head to get me a
night'b lodgin', and I slept in the-cel-Iar
that night with my legs on the
ground, ray back on a bundle-of paper,
and my head on an ink keg. The next
day I caught on to this very case and
I sajs: 'How long cin I keep this
job, bosbf And the old man looked
at me, and he was lookin' at the; rag
giest and oneriest tramp printer that
ever struck him for grubstake, and he;
said: 'Long as you stay sober, young
fellow.' And he kept his word, and
here I am siuce, and wberVs all the1
boys that started even with me and
away ahead of met It dont pay
young fellows. There's beer down
stairs and there's ice water in the pail
in the coroner. One costs money and
the tother'8 free; one makes trani
printers and the tother taves 'em.
Stick to the saloon in the corner, fel

Somehow the boya alvays enjoyed
the old man's homely little temperance
lectures, and in the forty years he
stood at the case and preached, if he
wasn't quits eo , eloquent as Gough,

mug to the sign of the tin dipper.

who would drift up and down the al
leys. But this didn-'t often happen,
because the boys always liked the old
man and felt sotj for hiro, and they
respected his penitence, and finally
only the new men or the subs ever
said a word about those annual disap
pearances. All the old man would
ever ray abeut them was that he had
"been up in the eouutry to bury his
uncle." His uncle died hard, but he
did die at last, and the old man, for
many years, stood like a conqueror at
the time worn old case with his enemy
under his feet.
A Montana Indian began raiding
stock a few years ago, having t th
start on'y two or three head. Lately
he sold his herd for 22,000. He is
probably of the opinion that ramn
cattle is more profitable than "raising
hair" and his white neighbors prob
ably ngrper with him. At least they
would rather let him raise thair outtle
than their seal'i.
