I 4 Sarah Wioueniucca, the well-knowa ' "Princess" of tho Piutoa, has evidently captured the do facto administration at Washington. Several weeks since the entrancing Sarah, attended by several Piute Chiefs, sailed on Mr. Hnyes, cf Ohio, and procured a Cabinet order which enables those Piutes who have hitherto lived among vrhitea and work ed for 7agc3 to reumin7 whereever they may oov? be. Indignant bucks have nc such indulgence. Aa way be seen on referanro io our 'Bid wall notes; several of the Piute tribe Who javo in previous years worked for white settlers in Warner Valley have so disappeared that Sundry frontiers, men ere conutrainsd to behove all such have gone to tho happy hunting ground. Mayhap; but we overheard a conversa tion, yesterday, in which a genthman, just returned from Montana remarked that he had ?ecn a horse in the posses sion of an Indian on Smith's River which was u.r.rked with Usury Wilson's brand and which evidently came from War niT Valley. The Indian who bestrode him is a character vroll-known in this nci'hbirhood. Alas ! for tha frontiers man who trusts in tho average Piute br, like a mule, the Piute never dioa. The Indians on Malheur Reservation are, bv this order, allowed to remain hjk! tako np traces -f laud for farms: lG'J scrj-.s for each family or adult; malts. A to Yakima, the Indians nr to re main or ''o to rd'dheur, at their own S'A'ei t will. Si'duetiva Sarah, who from the Ron a:z i State trocar t another and riulic boiiari7, what wilt a aud persuasive speech vejK u.so.l in that notible con- f:r::ce with tha "Great Father" to whm your muvdornus ollspring go yu-tr .y year t expiidn ;md justify thvir niunh-rs and uiasaacreu in ths Wo-tein laud whero the bh.od of pio imavi fcriaii." s an ear'h too kindly to receive too IJ:ute in her bosom 1 Vith what, new nobility hist thou invfsfced a tribe iouor-ned for murder and st lined with the life-blood of those white who liewod tho architrave-- of mighty States upon iiii.s Wwsffru laud J Make answer, Sarah and say that while von, abovo vory S(uaw North or South, K.tst or Woct, have taught your puny l'raguicnt of tha Piute tribe that honesty and iuir dealing is th- 'I'ist policy for white and nd, there yoc ve uinin the unnumborod graves of those .-lain in ambush on the dread journey 'across tho plains," and the fck'deto- a of thousands of peacful immigrants to thi fur laud whose buea now bleach in Summer's sun and Winter's rain; bra-.e, fearless men and wemon, filien under the batt!e-a:ies cf ycur cruel tribe ! Snaak peace to the heart cf the "Great Father" and tell him that the only coroniich wailed above tho unh'oii-o-ed tombs of West'.and U the hov1 of the coyots; or the screech of the vulture. Tell him, Sarah, that the "Peace Pol icy" means murder, rapine and pillage: the disolation cf homes and the ravish ment of woman; the raansacre of help lesa baDo and defenseless num. Speak, Sarah, in thunderous tones, and may hap vif ho be as well educated in your Indian tongue as his predecessor, Grant) he mav understand as well the viHinny of our boasted philanthropy towards yourself as tho well ventilott-d conduct of his appointees whe lead your race to massacre and ar. Lake County Es- amine:. The Dayton woolen mills are on r. firm basis, the asserts In goods on hand equals all liabilities, but to keep run ning they need money with which to purchase the Spring crop of wool. On ly half of the stock was ever taken, and that pays good interest when tho facto ry runs half the time. A malt mill is being manufactured at a Seattle foundry for a brewery at Steilacoom. General News. J3sn. J. Laughlin has bea appoint ed postmaster at Antelope, Wasco coun- Page & Eurna of Walla AValhi havo bought U-0 cows, and intend to start a chaesc factory7. City or no city is the agitating theme at Dayton. The question will bo de tormiuod in July. Efforts are being made in Pendleton to raise monsy to connect that place with Umatilla by telegraph. A man namod Eli Denny suicided ne:n Walla Wallaby taking strychnine, lie was subject to Gts of melancholy. The present population of Walla Walla is estimated at uboui 3,700. There are not vacant houses enough in the city to accommodato new business men who arc constantly coming in. A row in : Dayton saloon between Jim Duyand Charlcd Sanders resulted in a wound by a pij-;ol bhot in th ab domen, which tho la'ter cannot survive. The Teller advoenies the building of a suspentiou bridge acroas tha Cloarwa tor river at Lcwiston, at an estimated cost cf from 815,000 to 520,000. A similar bridge across Snake river would cost 30,000 It is raid the disbursements so far by tho urcsenco of loggors at the head of fho Yakima oxcckI 320,00 in Ivit titass valler. Many of the farmers h.-ivo born busy all Winter in freight ing supplies fo the camp?. The iI'rmo'i colony known aa the "Daviti .uctlemont," near Walla Vclla, j has been invaded by diphtheria, and rhu two pons of Davii, kn-iwn resp-et-fuily as ''God the Psiti-er" and "Jehus Christ" hav" falbm victims.

Take a Paper. Nothing prefents a sadder commentary upon the piescnt condition of society than the large num ber of fauiiliJ.s, both in town and coun try, but more especially the latter, that subscribe to no paper of any kind. Hundreds and thousands of families aro thus growing up utterly ignorant of what is trinsjriring in the world around them ignorant of the mighty events of tho day. Put who can toll the vast amount of injury that is being inflicted on the rising generation thoss who aro to tako our place in the busy vorld at no distant d.iy growing up without any knowledge of the present or tho past; this ignorance, too, being imbued into them bp the sanction of thoe who should, and doubtless do, know better, did they only think t the injurious eftes's of their ins&uo course. Let the head cf every family think of this, anil place in tho hands of ths;e for whom "no is responsible the means of acquir ing 3ome knowledge of the moving pan orama in which wo acfe our dilfeient parts.

Old Winnemubca has gone to Port Bid well, in Surprise Valley, to en lighten the natives on the terms of the treatj- made by him with the Interior Department at Washington, and Naches is oin" to Port McDormit for the same purpose. Silver State. Our great progress in journalism 13 shown by the fact that in 1775 there were in the United States less than forty newspapers and periodicals whose acrrresate issue for that year comprised 1,200.000 copie?; now the united press publishes over 500 daily newspapers, more than 4,000 weeklies nnd about GOO monthly publications ef the dai lies that era-stod in 1870, about S00, 000,000 copies were struck off that year; of the weeklies, about 600,000, 000; and of ether serial publication?, about 100,000,000 copies. And-to sum the mattpr up yet more forcibly, it muit bo stated that. tho United States publishes more newspaper, with great! cr coinbiued circulation, than all tho Gther countries of the vorjd car. togeth er boast of having. Tho oldest paper of uninterrupted publication in this country is the Hartford Courant, which has already attained tli3 hoary age of 31G yearj. In regard to its last birth day it plaintively says: "We belieTo tint, with the already announced death of a New Hampshire paper, recently, at the age of 11C, we cro left in a con dition of absoluto isolation. The last of our coDtsmporaiies is gone BfALocK Wheat Gi.owikg Co?i pan y. Tho Mountaineer says, W. F. Courtney, B. V. Grdiin, N. C. Blalcct, T C. Colby and Wm. J. Merioer havo filed papers of incorporation with the Secretary of State, their object being to farm on a largo scale east of the John Day River r.oar tho Columbia, in Wasco county.

Durkce, while playing with a pistol, accidently discharged it, and tho ball entered his right breast, glanced upward and past 1 out of the shoulder and just grazed hie head. The wound is nut dangerous, but th boy made a narrow escape. To he Abandoned. It is rumored that Port Harney U to bo abandoned. We are sorry for this, for if there is any ncd of having troops stationed hi Oregon, that placa is certainly Fort Harney. Wo believe that Harney ig tho only place at this time in Oregon that is garrisoned by troops, if wo ex cept prol. ibly a few at Klamath. It is centrally located in what is now the only Indian country left in Oregon. It is our opinion that when it becomes neressary to abandon this post there will be no further need of troops to protect tho frontier of this Stato or even of any other portion of this mili tary department. Mountaineer. On account of the enormous advance in paper, the firm of Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor & Co., Chicago, has discharged its book agents, claiming that they must either do that or raise the price of test-books. If the people maybe al lowed to judge, they choose very wise ly which horn of the dilemma to seize The bill of Lake county against Grant county in the sum of $500, incurred by a change of venue from Grant to Lake county in the cae entitled "Tho Sta?e of Oregon vs. Wm. Wallace," was al lowed by the county court of Grant county at its January session, 1880. Ottuinwa shipped 3224,052 worth of butter within GO days over tho C. B. & Q. railroad.
