Grant Co. Jmv-!LJ 1 PWM81IED KVBItY THURSDAY MOUSING i May 17, 1SSS. Governor Pcnnover is making speeches at different points in the State for the Democracy. j i The wn won-road steals must ! , i go, sooner or later. The house committee on public lands has dkctiK-cd the subject of wagon- j road grants in Oregon, but came j to no definite conclusion. This year is a most important one in a political sense- mote so limn any other. National, State and county oilicers are to be elected and a legislature chos en which will select a successor to Senator Dolph. 0 ren-on will receive $1S,921- .:"55 from the general govern incut, the same being a com mission on sales of public lands within the state since 18SSJ. j This was a provision of the act t of Congress admitting Oregon into the Union. j Congress should pass a bank- ! nipt act. In default of one a j '.Montana miner who owned an- ! other let his creditor shoot at . him twice, tlris gun practice to act as an insolvent debtor's dis charge and clearance. The ' bankrupt whs wounded, but not ! seriously. ; The oldivt man in Clermany, and proiwibly in the world, is named Wapniarek. lie lives in the village of Ilutta, near Giiesen, in the province of Uo sen. lie was lxirn in 17u4. lie is therefore lo-l years old and still show no hciis of being in a hurry to die. "What is supposed to le a Confederate gold dollar was found in an ash-henp in Atlanta recently by a colored Ixiy. and fold forS'30. It is said that only six such coins were issued by the Confederate Govern ment, and if genuine, this specimen would le worth StioO. Patience used to be repre sented as a jmssably oood-look-ing female on a bi jiicce of sandstone. Now it is different. A modern artist tixes patience np as a country editor sitting on ail inverted tye box wishing lie had his dinner, and waiting Tor delinquents to pay up their subscriptions. -K - In Chicago a saloon is not allowed within two hundred feet of a house of public wor ship. AVhen two policemen went out the other day to meas ure di-tanes letween saloons and chuivhe-. they were sur prised to iittd a saloon directly underneath a Lutheran church. "When the proprietor was order ex:! to move our, he calmly ir fwinexl the jxdieemen that he was not only proprietor of the Ealoon. but pastor of the church. . A miser died a short time ago near Kat Portland, leaving property worth JS.15.0U0 and no heirs, and the properly has therefore cheated to the State. The dead miser's name was John Fen l cruncher, lie came to Oregon many year ago as a private in the army, ami after ward settled in East Portland, working as a day laborer, lie was it miserly jvcrson, never Icnovvn to exjieiid a cent unnec esenrily: and some who knew him intimately say that in his gied for wealth, he even de prired himself of suilicient to eat. II' jwied a miserable ex i4enel. till May L7. 11. when 5m h fit of iiw.nity he commit ted suioidt by hunting himself. The new land tlstrict. to Ik? called Hartley district, embrace m ari or nearly 10,000,000 acTC. or ono-sixth of the entire ite, and is 144 mijes east and west, and 102 miles north and south. It contains the well known I!aruy valley. Follow ing is the Umndary: Com nicnciug at Snake river in the Stale of Oregon, on the town ship line between townships 12 and 1U south of the second standard of parellel: thence vet to fcbe northwest corner of township 13 south, of range 24 east of the Willamette meridian ; thence south to the southwest corner of township 20 south, of range 23 eat of the "Wil lamette meridian; thence due eiist to the boundary line of the St te of Oregon: thence north on said boundary line to the place of beginning. The loca tion of the ofHee is to be fixed and the oilicers appointed by the President. Th' rpw of owe fultitnn. more or le-a, j,.Jh mM to the Itepub iens of (iraiit LVwinsy JfJlu rt.S" VtVU' " t'"''V rB" U '" The Philadelphia Press says the Mills bill is a conspiracy ngaiust American industries. The president continues to vio late the plank in the denioeraic national platform which promises that citizens of territories should he appointed to the fedenl otliccs in the territ oiios. If wool goes on the. free list, ev ery f .inner who shears his sheep this spring iniht just ns well kill the animals tit the same time. Jf he doesn't tie free trade policy will soon do it for him. Gold Beach Gazette. Senator Stanford has remarked upon the Mibject: "Remove the protective tarifl" ami I can see no reason why the Chinese then should not manufacture all the goods needed on the Pacific Cousi, and why these goods would not enter all parts of the United States. Eastern prcgon ma' well ask whether it a good way to get the Columbia river opened to send a man to Congress who is a devo tee of the administration who.su head has stopped all work during a year p ist on the rivpr by a pock et veto of the river and harbor hill, Oregoninn. The wool-growers of Baker coun ty have every reason to join hands with tho Republicans this vear on the t.iriiV qnostiMM. Tie Mdls bill is a direct blow to their existence. I'Vee wool would Jluod the country in a year i.dh the products of Au-Urtlia and Siut'i America, nirainst which no American wool grower can compete. - Blade. 1 1 is preached in Oregon ihat "proli'clion doesn't protect." The thing to do, thou, is to pertma lo the Southern planter ami Use Jiast ern inanufaeturer of this gieal truth. Both these individuals l bin k protection dots pro! ret, and hence tucy hold on to protection for their own products, while they get the democratic arty to rec ommend fiee tr-tdo for our mo ducts. 0 r-go n i a u . Free traders sav that tai iff du ties are taxes on tho consumers. If vie had no t;.riiV oar imports would very luigelv exceed our ex ports V e would have to meet this excess by money, and it would be h heavier lax mi the e.untry than tho duties under a protective tanlT. During t he revenue refonn tariff period from JQ-lu to 1801, although we were producing im mense quantities of gold from the California mines we had to send it abroad by every outgoing steamer to pay our dnhts for imports cause we could not export enough to pay for what we imported. On the other hand, it w buy only articles of d'tuittie manufacture and production the moncn we pn for llicin remains inT- to add to our prosperity by keeping the whe.ls of industry in motion. What w- p.ey for foreign goods is th;- red tax, no, the duty on them A careful stinritc places the number of wool-growers in Ue Cint d talesat about seven hund ir:d thousand, and fnliy fne hund red men are employed by Ihem to Hssisi in caring for their Hocks nu i doing other farm labor.

Sheep would also decrease in value fully lifiy cents er head, making another .shrinkage of twen Hve million dollars Wool would decline from seven to eight cent's per pound from the Mvetage priee of the last fifteen yens, adding another loss of twenty-five million dollars and the farmers would b so impover ished by tho low rios obtained for their wool, tint out of actual necessity they would be compelled to reduce the wages of thee five hui drnd thousand person ? employ ed to assist in fhe caring or their tl-K'ks and doing other farm labor to the extent of at least fifteen cen's per day or about fifteen dol lar' per year; malting a still fur ther loss of twenty live million dol ars frmi this source alone.
