To The Dalles Chbonicle :
Wamic, Oregon March 6, 1893.
We are moving along veryquietly out
here, no deaths, no births, no marriages.
Farmers, are getting ready for the
spring plowing;, the .prospect for an
abundant harvest has never been better.
We have had, all told, about five feet of
snow, during the past winter, and the
ground is thoroughly saturated. '

law, is evidence of this.. By the way, it
is very refreshing to see the. new law
gaining in favor with the people every
day:. , -. . ' ... . ;
The literary 'society of this place' will
adjourn next Saturday until after plow
ing. The society, under the able
management of Prof. Louis Dorais, has
done a fair amount of literary work this

in the" cultivation of other arts than
terpsichore. There is a good prospect of
a telephone line from The Dalles to this
town, via. Dofur, Kingsley and Tygh
valley, in the very near future. This
will give us, practically speakmsr.
telegraphic connections with the world.
It will certainly be a great convenience
to this entire country, and will be a
great benefit to farmers, . by enabling
then! to ascertain the exact price of any
produce they have for sale.

THE GOVERNMENT LOOSES.
Wagon-Koad I. and Casea Decided by
. , United States Supreme Court. -
Oregonian. ' ;
"A dispatch was received from Wash
ington, D. C, last night which reads as
follows : - . . 1
Washington; March 5. The supreme
court today decided against the,. United
States in its suit against the California
& Oregon Land Company, to set aside
and declare void the title of the land
company to tracts in Oregon, purchased
by the company from'persons acquiring
title from grantees under what are
known as the wagon-road- land grants,
under acts of congress ,'and'jhe decision'
of the lower court is affirmed. ' .
Upon' this dispatch being shown to
Colonel ' R. W.'Mitchell,' in the absence
of C. E. S. Wood, the attorney for the
Willamette Valley & Cascade (Mountain
Military Wagon Road Company, of
which Colonel Mitchell is the agent and
Colonel Wood the attorney,' the latter of
whom fought the case through the lower
court, the former said :
"While the dispatch has evidently
been "bulled," it conveys enough infor
mation to warrant the assertion that in
the several cases brought by the United
States against the wagon road compa
nies, including the Willamette Valley
and Cascade Mountain Military Wagon
Itoad .Company, The Dalles Military
Wagon Road Company and the Oregon
Wagon Eoad Company, have been de
cided against the United States, and
thus will be brought to an end a long
and vexations series of litigation, look
ing to tle forfeiture of the several land
grants of the different wagon road com
panies. -The decision covers nearly 5,-
000,000 acres of rich and fertile lands in
the state of Oregon, and affects the in
terests of several thousand people.
When the cases were presented before
Judge Gilbert, of the United States cir
cuit court, an array of legal talent was
employed equal to any of the most im
portant cases ever tried in the state of
Oregon The government was repre
sented by F. P. Mays and Judge Tanner,
under what is known as the Dolph bill.
and the companies were : represented
by Colonel C. E. S. Wood, by Judge
Mallory, of the firm of Dolph, Bellinger,
Mallory & Simon, of this .city,- and by
Judge Stanley, of San Francisco. Prob
ably no case between corporations and
the government ever tried in the state of
Oregon employed greater legal talent.
The pleas presented by Colonel Wood,
together with the testimony of over 800
witnesses, enlarged the volume of legal
technicalities and "evidence far beyond
any case of like magnitude since the
creation of the new court in which
Judge Gilbert sits. While the lawyers
gave their undivided attention to legal
points in the several cases, the details of
the testimony and the securing of testi
mony was largely left "to me. The dis
patch from Washington fails to disclose
the specific basis of the decision handed
down by the supreme court of the United
States, but it is sufficient to .- say that a
great feeling of relief, not only for the
companies interested, but lor tne settlers
along the line of the various grants- will
follow." ; .
