Governor Chamberlain ! determined to do all that he can to afford tnem that means or chance of relief from the consequences of a manifestly inequitable decision of the Interior department .The governor Is all the more sealous in behalf of tbeso settlers, and Is Justifiably Indignant, because, contrary to custom! and as It seems to law, the' department. Instead of Issuing- patents for these lands to the state, and only on request of the governor, secretly Issued these patents to the Warner Valley Livestock company, evidently so aa to preclude any action advert to that company by the gov ernor. - ..-" T ' ' ' 'V7'''V: It. Is true that the department had, decided la favor of trusts but once the election Is over the trust,' or : most of them and the worst of them, will be unmolested. That they are now quite satisfied wfth'the present administra tion Is now apparent; but If they can also secure' the nom ination of a Democrat! a candidate who 'would rot -molest them, that would be so much clear gain;' they would be cuuijare.uvciy uiuiiivreiH as u ium raauii. ; $ , '.

' . ; The attorney-general may, however, take the action re quested by the governor, and while It Is not at all certain that the settlers will win, or gala anything, any effort of the authorities la their behalf Is to be commended, '- PRICE OF, CATTLEAND OP; MEAT.'
