OREGOty Wagon Road Grants Washingtos, Hay 21. Senator Dolrhs wagon road land grant forfeit ure bill passed the Senate this after noon. The Attorney-General is di rected by the bill to bring suit against all persons claiming to own any purl of the Eugene Uity, Dallas or Albany wagon road land gnntR, to determine the question of th'e reasonable and proper completion of the roads ic ac cordance with tbe terrus'of the Jl Ing Acts, and the "right of the iMK States to resume the lands granted. The circuit court is authoriz-d to rend er a decision and declare foreittd all the land coteruiinus with tbe roads not built according lo the requirements of the Act. The couit f.hU' have the right ts set aside all patents which have been issued for such forfeited land, saving and preserving the rights of all bona Sda purchasers of any por tion of the) land for a valuable consid eration, iiroviasd that l he linds act ually settled upon are occupied and used as a homestead or for agricultural or grazing purposes. In cases in which such Eettler or occupant has acquired the title of- the State of Oregon, not exceeding one section to any one eettler or occupant, he shall nut bo included in such suit, and such settler or occupant shall nut be wade a party thereto. m Somebody has condensed the mis tikes of life, and ariived at the con clusion that there are fourteen of them. Most people would siv, if they told the truth, that there was no limit to the mistakes of lite; that ll'ey were like the drops of the ocean or the sands of the shore in number, but it is well to be accurate. Here, then, are four teen great mistakes.: It is a greit mistuke to set up our own standard of right aud wrong and judge other peo plo accordingly; o rora,ure the enjoy ment of others by our.own; to except uniformity of opfnioti inTTiis "5-Srui; lo look for judgment and experience in youth; to endeavor to mould alloiiii ious alike; to yield to immaterial trifles; lo look for perfection in our own ae'ionn; to worry oui selves and others with .what can not be remedied; not to alleviate all that needs allevia lion as far as lies in our power; not to make allowance for the iiilirintties of others; to consider everything iiupossi ble that ue cannot perform to believe only vtli.it our finite minds ctn grasp; to expect to be able to understand everything. Wholesale Lynching. The Pom eroy "Times" of the 18th inst., con tains au account of the alleged lynch ing of four horse-thieves, on Salmon river, between White' Bird and John Day's, Miv 7. the executioners being a party of stockmen from Asotin county and the Idaho border. The victims were a half-breed called "Jack," Tode Farmer, aged 25; Joe Grime?, 30; und John O'Neil, 25. They and two others were captured with about 20 head of stolen horses. The lynch ing was with ropes suspended from trees, the doomed men being seated on horses which were driven from under, at a signal. One of the two prisoners was taken to Asotin. A Washington special says: Rv. Dr. Sunderland received a fee of 5100 for tying the presidential marriage knot. It was a brand new bill, ind had never apparently been in circula tion. It vtm handed to the doctor by Secretary Lamont, immediately after the Presdent's departure. The doctor made his wife a present of tho bill Mrs. Sundenand will keep it as a memento of tho occasion. The best things are nearest; breath in our nostrils, light in our eyes, flowers at our feet, duties at our handx, the path of God before us. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain common work as it comes, con scious that daily duties and daily bread are the sweet things of life. In the space of'aweek fully 1,000 persons were killed and wounded in various portions of the world by cy clones, which have become more uu merous than was evef before known in history. The Pacific Coast appears to be the only portion of the world exempt from these terrible visitors. The personal household of Queen Victoria is composed of over two tnou sand personn, and costs the nation an uuauy two minion dollars. JUNE 12, ISS6. Shortening Up- In reply to letters wLich wt fte quently write to old friendi and neighbors inviting them to pay us a visit, we receive many from California friends who say: "I will come and see you when the railroad runs through to Fortland from San Franeico." That day is growing nearer though slowly. It is now running to a point ten miles this side of Delta, just a lit tie platform on the headwaters of Sac ramento river not far from where the JMcCloud cornea down, tang ing its boiling song to the far off sea. This little is in Shasta county on the confines of Siskiyou, which is ad joining the county of Jackson in this State. It libs up in what is called the State range, and thenceforth the progress of the road will be tlew until it ge.ts into Shasta valley, where it will have forty miles of much easiei grade than it now encounters. The road will be in operation to Baileys near the foot of Mount Shasta, by the 1st of September and then tho over land travel will begin lo increase as tint stage travrl gets down to about sixty-fiveiiiilea. The Sceneiy along the road is the Guest in tho world and the tourist who comes by sea, rui-aes the grandest and most beautiful ri les on the continent. The base of Mount Shista Can be appnaili'-d closer by rail than tliit of any mountain of its size in America, and that u'one "ill suffice to cro.vd the roaM with plean- ure seekers uxt tutuuier. Our Port land belles will find the JLCioud river springs a great summer resort in a year or two and will meet the lovely on s of San Francisco on even terms . And when the road ia complete we will see lots of people who do not like to risk a sea voiage, and who will spend lots of inouey when they come amongst us - 'Me That's the ridiculous side of the proposition, the fide which is always uppermost to my eve. LooVing at it from the standpoint of serious con temptation, the pageant of last Wed upsdiy evening in Washington has something like a Roman holiday about it, with a Inch sluught"reJ and fire works in the evening. Mr. Cleveland is past 49 years of age andahis .bride not quite 24; or in other words, he was a man grown and earning .atuau'a liv ing on the day that she was born into the world, Nay, more, he was pait her present age on llio day ahe first began lo wa'k. Thre was another Presidential marriage witbin ray rec ollection the accidentia! President of 1842. His wife was a tall girl, with dark but luminous faca and willowy ure, named Julia Gardiner. Her parents hud a country beat at Shelter I.Iand, near the eastern extremity of Long Island, where she was born. ller agi was 26 years when she mar ried a man of more than twice her jears, and New York society wa3 all agog over it. Her father was ap pointed to one of the portfolios in the cabinet and was killed by tbe burst ing of a cannon on board tbe gunboat Princeton on the Potomac river, while firing a salute. Ihere are a few still living v. ho recollect this lovely woman in tho days of the artificial splendor which surrounded her, and also recall her pale and hopeless face in the years that grew so weary and irksome. It was a hollow mockery from beginning to end. Settlers os the public lands should bear in mind that in giving in their assessment they do so under oath, just as much as when they are giving in the value of their improvements on their claims. They Bbould see to it (hat the assessed valuation of their improvements will do to compare with the value fixed in their final proof. Says a Wnitsburg paper: Last Wednesday Mrs. W. A. Morris, a wouisn 20 years of age, committed suicide by taking strychnine. She had been married only about six I weeks. Th rennnn (riven for her rash 1 act was that she would rather die than bear a child, an event she plainly foreSaw. The railroad company is said to be employing every man they can get on the extension south from Solcdad and it is expected that San Miguel wil be reached by August 20th. This promises to be the livliest building season witnessed in Portland since the great botm, when $3,000,-j uuu were invested in new structures, Jl Gastly River Mystery. At nosn yesterday the steamsr "Dawn" picked up tne body of a largt man, apparently about 45 years of agr, in the middle channel, abreast of the city, and brought it to Hume's dock, where the co'roner and doctor examined it. The Jjpdy was clothed in a gray woolen drawers and one boot, and had evidently been in the water some weeks. Examination disclosed the fact that a most fearful murder had been com mitted. On the head were three ter tible cuts made by a (harp knife or hatchet, half an inch deep and three inches across. The forehead was snmked and the skull broken in. A hole behind the right ear being probed, showed where a bullet had broken the jaw and ranged downward, the sur geon extracting the ball from the left side of the neck. Other marks of violence inJicated a desperate struggle for life on the part of the unfortunate man, who may have been murdered 100 miles above here and whose booy was rolling to the ocean when picked up. The coroner's inqaest was post poned till 2 o'clock this afternoon, when it in believed testimony will be procured tending to throw some light on what is evideutly a most terrible murder. Siuco the President iurched a home in the -.uburs of Washington the Americ in vandal has bten turned loose upon it. No sooner was it known tlu.t tho properly had passed into his posessions than it became a Mecca to Democratic pilgrims and curiosity stoker. Men ttud women pulled up shrubbery, tore off pailings, pieces of nimlow shutters and other things as relics, ami tlanlandd admis sion to the house and all the grounds. Mrs. Green, from whom it was pur chased, by the terms of the sale was allowed thirty days in which to vacate the prei.iise, but lifts became a burden by reason of hoardps who intruded upon the privacy of the p'ace, and she notified the President that she would leave as soon as possible. The Presi dent at once dispatched a policeman tp guard the place and stop the van d.ilism if pss-dble. On Sunday the place looked like a camp roieting. It is reported not to be the intention of the Piesidcnl nut lo take up his sub urban estate. He aimply wants a placo where he can go in the afternoon ami spend a quite hour tvway from the life and care of the executive mansion. A Chinaman arrived hero yesterday who wishes to engaga 1000 of his countrymen to work on the extenaion of the California & Oregon railroad. He will not be able to engage any men, although he offers $25 por month. About all the Chinese here who engage in such work are employed at wood chopping, and at the fisheries. A vast number of men are at work now on the C. i O. railroad, judging from the move to secure a thousand Chinamen here there is to be no stop to the work, and the prospect for connection by rail with San Francisco in the birar future looks very favorable. "Orego nian." It is now believed to be as good as a settled fact that tbe tiparring match between John L. Sullivan and Charles Mitchell, which the Chicago authorities will not permit in that city, will take place in Milwaukee on June 11th. Pal SLeedy has so decided, and has about completed arrangements for the Opeaa house as the place for holding the exhibition. It is not believed that the authorities at that place will offer any opposition, and for that reason, and as it is nearer Chicago than any other place which could be selected, the probabilities seem to be that the two men will meet there. Two drunken Indians, ejected from the California and Oregon Railread near Andersen, Shasta county, Cal., Sunday, in revenge endeavored to wreck a freight train by placing au ob struction on the track. The engine passed over the obstruction which was secured, and the noble red men are being sought for. The President seems tn be driven to marriage because the Democratic party is dropping away from him at a rate that promise to leave him very lone some in his old age. The fund for the uenefit of the Chicago police injured at the recent Anarchist massacre has now reached nearly 60,000. $3 PI2K YEAR, KMBBB.I.MiliMIIFIUWLJJfc.UUJk.MlMJJ Railroad Items- The railroad company is new hir ing all the white men cn.ing along, who are willing ts work, in 1 will crowd the wort with the greatest en ergy while the season is favrrab.e for rapid progress. It ia undoubtedly the intentun of the company to reach Bailey's before winter sets in, mi at to make the distance about 100 miles between the terminus of each .road. From present indications work will no doubt be continued right alung to the Oregon boundary, and the right of way force may prnbihly reach Sis kiyou before the 4th of Jul)', to bo closely followed by Scobie's force of stonemasons and helpers. The trains appear to be delayed oc casionally of late, as the construction trains have precedence of track above. Delta, and must be kept clear for trains, but above that point, trains for passengers and freight aid ou'y for accommodation. A havy cloud burst coverrd the track with debris last SumUv, just abve Delta, but a forca was ditiched immediately to the place, and cieared the track in a short time. The second mortgage on tho 1 tnds of the railroad company for $10,000, 000 has been filed at clerk's odice in this county, and in all the counties on the route. The mortgage runs fur 3U years, at 6 percent, per annum, as se curity for bonds of $1,000 each, is sued, which will be accepted bv com pany in payment for any lands sold, the same as roiu or apy paper of credit. The second trial of Lwis A. Allen, upon informatin-: for murder, in kill ing Elmore Decker, was commenced last Tuesday, and out ot GO j'Jtors summoned, eleven had been secured up to Thursday evening, for trial of case. The venire being exhausted, the court appointed City Marshal Park as elisor to summon six more juror, in order to fill the jury, the Sheriff being disqualified from acting, on account of making complaint in this case. On first day counsul for de fendant attempted to quash the venire, on the ground ot bein a spitciul and not a term jury, and names placed in a box that should have been omuted, also names omitted that should have been put in a box, which motiou was overruled by the court. The "Journa1 of United Ltbor," the officLl paper of Knights of Labor or ganization, announces that James G. Blaine is au active working member of the order. A member speaking of the fact says: B'uinc is a member of the Assemb'y in Augus'a, .Me., his heme, lou know that only two clas ses of man men are barred from our order, lawyers and saloonkeepers, Mr. Blaine is by profession a journal ist How long ha has been within pale of the order I do not know, but you may depend that with the executive ability of men likePowderly, Blaine and others that 1 might men tion, that thtt Knights of Labor will continue to grow, and thas it will tafca more than the combined efforts to crush us out." Surveys have been completed of a road from Nampa, un the Oregon Short Line, to Boise City and beyond It will be standard gauge as far as Boise, from which point it will be continurd up the river as a norrow gauge to the timber belt near tke head of that xtrearn. This will give Boise the railroad facilities she needs, which may be increased in two or three years by a transcontinental road, if the pro phets speak wisely of the intentions of the Chicago & Northwestern. The Cyclone season has opened earlty this year in the East, and al ready one hundred and seventy lives have been lost and millions of dollar in property destroyed. When one reads of those and other climatic eccen tricities, it is calculated to render him contented to live in a country where he is in no danger of being frozen in winter, broiled in summer, or scattered to the four corners of the earth by a friskv tornado. Thunderstorms have been raging -in Germany for three days. Many per sons and hundreds of cattle have been killed. Damage to the extent of ?200, 000 has been done to vineyards in the Bhine valley.
