It is no longer necessary to conceal the
name of the person who, under the nom-de-plume
of "One Who Knows," re
cently made two attacks wpn Superin
. tendent Farley in the pages of the Ore
yanian. The name sent to that paper
was that of Turner Leavens, the gon of
our respected county commissioner, Dr.
Leavens of the Cascade Ixjcks. When
both these letters appeared Mr. Leavens
was at a distance in the state of Wash
ington, with a surveying jarty. Not till
he returned last Tuesday evening did he
have an opportunity of disavowrng all
knowledge or connection with either of
toe letters. Mr. Leavens denies having
written the letters, denies all author
ship and denies having given anyone
permission to use his name in writing.
them. This was no surprise to any one.
No man could have written thoae letters
without having access to information
beyond the reach of any ordinary em
ploye. Nor did they deceive the mem
bers of the board for a moment. The
writer has conversed with . Governor
I'ennoyer and Treasurer Metschan and
knows whereof he affirms. Neither of
these eentleincn ever entertained the
idea for a moment that the charges were
true. And when Mr. Farley tendered
his resignation to the board last Tuesday
they promptly refused to accept it. Thii
will explain that part of the report
which says, "There have been some
faults found and attacks made against
me by parties I have been unable to find
which the majority of the board, I think,
fully underttands." The animus of these
attacks is fully understood, and the time
may come when their authorship will be
fully exposed; meanwhile they have
failed in their object, and the solitary
fact that there yet remains, after the
road is open for traffic, fully $8,000 to
furnish necessary conveniences, is itself
a sufficient answer to a thousand such,
made by a sneak who is cowardly
enough to steal another man's name
to fight tinder.
We publish in another place the re
port in full which Superintendent Far
ley submitted to the lxard of Portage
commissioners at the meeting held at
JPortland on the 29th ult. The deep in
terest which the people of Eastern Ore
gon have taken in every step which has
led up to this first installment of an
open river will justify its length. It will
4 seen that no statement is made as to
the amount of money already expended,
as this matter came before the board in
another form from the- figures of the sec
retaiy, Colonel Lovcll. The money paid
onL, including all liabilities incurred and
11 wages due, up to the first day of Oc
tober, is a little less than $52,000, This
loaves a balance remaining in the ap
propriation fund of $8,000; enough to
finish the inclines, erect a fire proof car
shed and build a wharf boat for the eas
tern landing; in fact, thoroughly finish
the portage with everything it needs.
This statement needs no comment. It
justifies the confidence of the board in
the superintendent's ability and effic
iency and answers the cowardly attacks
that have been made upon him by
anonymous writers and their sympa
thizers. It KIEF STATE NEWS.

J. Q. Shirley, the cattle king of Un
ion county, has purchased 700 head of
beef cattle in the upper Burnt river sec

. The Indians themselves are bridging
the Warm Spring river at the agency.
Every bridge that has been constructed
over this stream so far has washed out.
Some of the Warm Spring Indians are

that the bridge 4hey are now building

D. G. Browning, of Long Creek valley,

crop of 1795 bushels from fifty acres,
thirty of which was wheat and twenty

lattar averaged fify-three and three
fourths bushels per acre.
Salmon are taken with the hook and
Hue quite frequently ofFth mouth of the
Columbia river and just inside, and
the tugboat men have peen enjoying
rare sport for the past two weeks. A
twenty-pound salmon in the full enjoy

fun on the end of n line that anything
that wears fins and scales. Grouper and
rock cod are found in considerable num
bers when the tugboat men have time to
look for them.

On account of the physical infirmities
of Bishop Galleher, ol Louisiana, his
duties have for the most part been as
sumed by his assistant, the Rev. David
Scesums, who is to all intents and pur

probably . the youngest bishop in the

The enterprising Boreman Brothers, '
of this city, who own a piece of land at
the foot of the hills west of this city !
have struck an artesian well which flows
water three feet above the surface of the
ground. It is located at an elevation
sufficient to cover, the entire tract of
land which will be set out in fruit trees.
This solves a problem for a water supplv
for Baker City by the gravity syetem.
If the city had experimented "for water
on the hills west of the city she could
today have had water at one-half the
present cost of pumping. Baker City

Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Bittenbender, of
Lincoln, Neb., have both been nominated
by the prohibitionists for judicial posi
tions, the husband for district judge and
the wife to the subreme bench. It is
suggested that it was necessary to fix
the nominations in that order because
the woman was bound to have the last
word anyhow.
As long as the child "reciprocity" con

numerous diseases partial to growing
children and extend it to all people.
