tramp for him, when one considers : how
very near Death's Door the captain was

Remarking upon the policy pursued
by the managers of the U. P. R. during
a crisis in- travel like this, a prominent
man in the city who -has been a close
observer since .the imported C vpets" of
the company took charge, iays it ap-.
pears to him that the company is as
heartless as it is soulless. They compel
passengers to remain caged- up in cars
twenty -four hours at a time, simply in
order to avoid the payment of bills in
corred tor their keeping, and they keep
women and children out of bed all night
in expectation of a start, for no other
purpose than that of selling a ticket to
some other deluded traveler.

Regulator line, dici not know, while he
was sitting in The Umatilla office until

p. m. train to come along and take him
to Portland, that bridges were being
washed out at Latourelle ; and that an
other blockade, worse than snow, was
upon the company. The train from the
east, due at4:20 p. m., got in at 11 a. n:.
and remained in the yard. The only
trains from Portland since Thursday
were the ones, which arrived yesterday
afternoon. It any train naa leu nere
since that hour for Portland, it is safe to
sav that it has not yet reached its des
tination, and the passengers are fixed as
those were who went ont on Saturday.
It should be the law that railway om-
cials shall furnish truthiul bulletins re
specting trains in sueh times as, this, or

The weather the past fnw days serves
to remind a few old timers of the days
when the Canyon City mail contractor
started out with the mails daily for the
south, for several weeks, but never got
beyond the foot of the hill at ' East End
There the ' mail was securely packed
awav in a safe place, and when travel
became: possible it went on its way. By
this little device the contractor was paid,
and there was no fines imposed bv the
"knowing ones" at headquarters in
Washington city, it was a necessary
deception.
The Hex Perce Indians now refuse to
sell their alloted lands in the reserva
tion. Editor . Alfred, of the Lewis' n
Tribune, who was here yesterday, says
there has been a syndicate at work on
the Indians to prevent sales. . The syn
dicate propose - leasing the lands for a
term of years. The commissioners have
called another council for the 29th, and
will then endeavor to get the poorer
Indians to consent to the sale. .The
council as at present constituted is com
posed entirely of the wealthy .members
of the tribe, who have big herds of
cattle and horses themselves, and wish
to retain the pasture lands as long as
they can and to lease what.they do . not
require themselves to white men for
grazing purposes only."
