to THE GMT CQUHTY BBSS, December JS.JSOO. Chinese raiso dogs for tlioir skins nnd incut, atitl timl do funning a profitable industry in their native laud. The II. S. mail is now carried over 2,000,000 of jwat routoa. Nearly n,000 new jwstollicefi have been established in 1S!)0. The last ruiii itnitiu band of wild buffaloes is now being bunted down with laMoe on l!ed Dcort, in "Wyoming. The object is to catch these survivors alive and start a bulbilo farm whereon buf faloes will be reared for shows, museums and parks. Last year the l S. received S3S,000,000 for letter postage. ,The jwstinaster general favor a reduction of postage on letters to onu cent, but Ilcnnio llnrriion who rides on the cow-catcher t f gov ernment don't go much on reduc ed jwstagc. If Oregon is to bo leproientod at tho World's Columbian Imposi tion it would bo wonso than noth ing to bo only half lepreneiited. "What Oregon needs is moropeoplo and more capital, and the exposi tion grounds i a bill-board on which to spread her advertisement. thought that I'ort Hid- well will not bo abandoned. The Indian scare in Dakota will proba bly convince tho war department that the redskins are not yet trans formed into sucking dovee, and thuy will now have an opportunity of displaying good common unnc by ro-giirrisoning all tho frontier posts. Wo do not believe the scheme for compelling tho Indians lo till the soil with oxen should bo tried. Wo are endeavoring to tench the red man religion, but if wo place him in the wake of a bull team wo must of necessity allow him to use the popular variations or profanity and bis reverence for holy things would thus become fearfully and painfully dwarfed. ' .Senator .Manderson'fi idea of "dealing with the Indians is to take away their arms and bornes and givli them working oxen in placo of them, and ho ii after the war department armed with a sen ato resolution wanting to know what steps are being, or have been taken towards disarming tho In dians. In tho meantime the war iliMmrlnient has ordered I hive uioro j reuinients of troops to the section , , , , ' I,., )!..., (.III UllU-'lllu lij un-, ni.ii.iii". The Farmers' Alliance, a an organization, has no icmesenta lives in either branch of the pies out Congress, but judging from the large number about a dozen of bills providing for the freu coinage of silver that have been been introduced into both Ihiiimi and senate it is evident thiit a lumber of gentlemen belonging to both the republican and demo cratic parties believe with lho Al liauco- that the country's ii-oet pressing wed is an inerenm in the amount of money in circulation. The census returns ahow that like the Indian and lho buffalo, range cattle are becoming a thing of the jinst. Willi the coiutant eucroaehiiionts of the homesteader and the farm, tho mining lovvn and cities that are springing up ' all over what was once tlm alnu-l boundless "range," the lays of the vast herds, and to a gn at extent the cowboy, are numboicd. Thus tho evolution goes on; Hint the ( savage and the native bulfalo; then thu hair-wild cattle with their half-civilized attendants; nnd iheu the farm, the city and civilia tion. Senator Dolph bus roportml sen - j utor .Mitchell's bill, with an amend ment meeting tho views of tho in terior department and general hind olllce, to uuthbwo homestead and re euiption settlurs or claimants who have taken less than ll0 acres of land and are occupying these original entries, to take mi furvevcd lands to which theie is no valid adverse claim, sullleJeiit to make thu full 1(50 acres. This bill will bo of considerable interot to a large number or people in (hunt county, who at the time of iieiking their'eutries were unable to take a full quarter section, and under tho present laws have been prevented from taking lands un lefs they are contiguous to tin sc which they occupy. This bill, when it becomes a'law, will allow them to take lands in any p"' t of the country to complete a quarter section. TDK CONVICTS SON.
