It will be remembered that a Japanese and his wife had possession of a child which a Chinaman and his wife claimed as theirs.- The Japs made a similar claim for themselves. - Hence the writ. Yesterday afternoon.the Chinaman set tled the accrued costs and withdrew the suit, but who has possession of the child we have been nnable to learn. .. No Hope, We are permitted to copy the follow ing extract from a private letter received a few days , ago from Washington and written by a gentleman well known in this city and one thoroughly familiar vrith what is going on at the capital. "It is no use to hope for an appropri ation for a public building at The Dalles. I have conversed with many' democratic statesmen in the congress and of the lobby and all appear agreed that the Holman resolution was not meant for "bunkum" but was in the line of prac tical politics and will be adhered to rig idly and the 'more particularly so when the republican state and districts are to be sufferers. There will be BOine sort of showing of fairness in the appropriation bills for current expenses but no new works provided for. Hermann has been making a gallant fight for relief of The Dalles in his advocacy of a portage railroad. No man could have done more. I doubt whether any other one could have done so much. I cannot say what he thinks, but for -myself I am free to confess I have no hope. Even with a republican congress it was uphill work. It was tight, fight, fight, for eyerything had or allowed for our state. Effort and diplomacy gained all we got even when all the circumstances were favorable and so I am of the opinion now that we need expect nothing what ever this year; then we shall not be disappointed. . . NORTHWEST SEW8. Wasco News. lhe general opinion seems to prevail among the farmers that but little if any, of the wheat has frozen out. some consider the .danger over while others are inclined to the opinion that all danger of freezing out is not yet passed. At any rate just at the present time the prospects were never better for another good crop. Wasco JfewsT Vhile Wasco leads in energetic efforts, commercial and me chanical enterprises,' and is in the van of all competitive points, and we hail this fact ' with unalloyed joy upon our lips, and from the- depth of our heart of hearts, it is also with unfeigned satisfac tion and pleasure that we chronicle the fact that Sherman county does not lag behind any county in the state. '. iAll of our sister county towns are, however, making commendable, improvements. The . farmers are also alive to the de mands of the occasion, and their homes are becoming moreand more attractive as the years go by, all of which we are pleased to-note. - -, t t , , . f! ! 4 .. -Ji: Notice to Contractors.
