A correspondent, signing himself Tax

costing $18,000 to be built across a
stream whire there is not travel enough
to support a respectable ferry? Is
Clackama comity, with a debt of over

Nebraska Plaindealer: ('has. Gilkey

A thrilling little drama was enacted
in the neighborhood of Tuk Independent
office this week. A part of the language
is reproduced, and reads in print and in
truth as follows, with a substitution of
names from respect for the hallowed
scene: "With all my heart, Ernestine."
Sweet as the music of rippling waters,
of muffled silver bells, sweet and low as
the organ harmonies whispering to each
other among the carvings and the
softened frescoes of some grand old
cathedral choir, were the young man's
words, and they brought to Ernestine
such peace and rest as until this day her
heart had never known. "Oh, Edgarus," j
she said, and held out her bands to him.
Again the bright young blood surged to
his cheeks, and with a glad little cry be
threw himself into her arms, and, like a
tired bird, he nestled his head upen her
shoulder, and shut his eyes to all the
world to dream of heaven and the coming
great political speech.
From SupenntendeBt Downing it is

pended up to March 10th, at which time
he assumed the office, leaving the sum of
$5,204.74 of that fund on which to run
the penitentiary for nearly ten months to
come. The total ordinary expenses f
running the penitentiary for the year
1887 were $39,207.21, against ?:;0,0G8.70
for the year 1886. The total expenditure,
including extraordinary expanses, for
1887 was $44,040.68. Statesman, 27.

"Among the Breakers" was presented
to a crowded hall at the Opera house
last Saturday evening, by a local com

space at hand to give an extended re

Ransom, J. W. Lysons, W. E. Brock,
J . P. Wanner, .1. Dempsey, and Miss
Laura Geiger, Miss Day Smith, Mrs.
Zilpha Horner and Mrs. Nellie Wirtz,
all acquitted themselves with honor.
Mr. Ransom and Mr. Lysons were cen
tral figures throughout the play, and
like the others, fully met the expectation
of friends, and delighted the audience.
We do not wish to specially comment
upon any character as being better sus
tained than another, where we sre not
called specially to criticise, but must
say the characters most difficult to sus
tain and which pleased the audience in
the highest sense, were "Mother Cary,"
"Peter Paragraph," ami "Scud," Hun
ter's colored servant. In sustaining
these characters the approach was very
near to that of professionals. Excellent
music was rendered by the orchestra.

I'nte the men engaged in tilling the
soil, write: "Some fifteen years ao I
broke up and put into cultivation a flat
piece of prairie land containing forty
acres. After a few years I read in some
of the agricultural papers aUxit the ad
vantages of undcrdrainage. I deter
mined to try the experiment. I put my
ti?e in a depth of three feet, and gave
then a gradual grade, and they worked
fairly well, though I made the mistake
of putting tile in that were too small at
and near the outlet. I will now tell you
the difference of the production of that
piece of land. The average for three
years before drainage was 40 bushels of
corn per acre; the average for three
years after drainage was 65 bushels. I
also tile-drained half of another 40-acre
tract, and sowed the whole to gTass. I
have cut for three years an average of
two tons of hay to the acre off the part
which was drained; the other part has
not averaged a ton to the acre.

On Monday the supreme court decided
the cass of F. P. Hembree and others
against I. It. Dawson, in favor of the
latter. This suit grows out of the fail
ure at Carlton of Blackburn A Peck ham.
It seems that Blackburn, without the
authority or knowledge of Peckham,
his partner, executed a chattel mortgage
upon all the partnership effects, goods
and accounts, to Dawson to secure Port
land creditors, and under this Dawson
took possession. About a week later,
the farmers who had lost wheat stored
with Blackburn & Peckham, sued them
and attached the store, books, and all
the partnership property, and had the
property placed in the hands of a re
ceiver.. The farmers claimed that the
mortgage to Dawson was an assignment
with a preference, and being executed
by only one member of the firm, was
fraudulent and void. Judge Boise de
cided in favor of the farmers, but the
supreme court reversed him and sustain--.
ed the transfer to Dawson. This vir
tually decides that one partner may,
without the other's knowledge or con
sent, make a chattel mortgage upon firm
property to pay rlrm debts. The amount
involved was $9000. Reporter, 24.

The Lane county Pomona Grange met
here to day. We demand the enactment
of the subjoined laws: A law to reduce
the passenger fare upon all railroads in

freights at a corresponding rate. A law
that the government shall own and con
trol all the telegrsph and operate the

Resolved, That we, the members of
the Lane county Pomona Grange, irre
spective of party, denounce the action of

CiHAftM JIKV REPORT.
In the circuit court of Oregon for
Washington county, to Hon. F. J.Taylor,
judge of said court, the undersigned, your
grand jury,rcpcctfully report as follow :
We have investigated all charges of
crime brought lefore us and have
returned indictments in a few cases,
where the evidence brought !cfore u
seemed to justify us in so doing.
We made a brief visit to the various
county office, and, while we made no
extended investigation, we found the
offices neatly and properly kept and the
officer apparently performing their
duties according t law and entirely
willing and anxious to afford us any
information in their jtowrr.
The county jail we find to be an
insufficient and unsafe structure and
entirely unsuited to the needs of a large
county like Washington.
We visited the county poor farm, now
ia charge of Mrs. Green, and found it very
well conducted and the inmstes properly
and kindly csred for and satisfied with
their treatment. We are of the opinion
that the rent charged Mrs. Green by the
county for the farm is too much aod that
it should be reduced. It would be a
misfortune to the county and ' to its
dependent poor if she was compelled by
reason of the high rent charged to give
up the management ef the county poor
to some other party. She is the right
person In the right plsce, snd the county
should make such term with her as to
enable Iter to stay there. We also
recommend that that the county have
the stumps in the orc hard nt the poor
farm grubbed out snd the orchard put
in proM-r order for cultivation. And
having finished our labors we ask to le
discharged. Dated thi21t of March,
1888.

Friend Baker, of the Rural Spirit,
cannot appreciate Ironical mirth. He
descends to buffoonery. He says one
inau is not editor, compositor, pressman,
etc., iu his ollii e. Better were it so,
Horatio no, no ! Whoopy Wumpy. If.
by that you mean a comparison of your
forte and office with Thk Im)I.pknknt,
you will please bear in mind that this
otlico employs a force large enough to
edit, set iu t pe, and print the Rural
j Spirit witli such cii'9 a to bo enabled to
take it whole holiday on Saturdays of

than you an do with your force, You
know you arc compelled to tramp jour

the paper printed. Thk lMfcrKNlKNT
Is printed in it ow u office -and with

steam not generated fumes! A com
positor who would make such an ig
norant error es the "best one In Oregoo"
did in your office, would be "fired" bod
ily by this office instead of beiog flat
tered as ii ri honor to the nrt preservative;
and the disdsinful glances of our devil
would cause him to pine for a "sister"
among the Pieiade rather than to at
tempt to make such of the thorough
bred lieschaler. We did not criticise
a typographical error, and have a strong
contempt for any ene who would. It
was not the substitution of ft wrong fig
ure or letfer. Yours was of a far more
serious nature. Think of the result to
posterity were your statement potent to
create a f net ! Come out to the horse
exhibition ih it Saturday, Baker, and
bring along the '-betd printer in Oregon"
and let your minds be cleared of this
terrible l.alluc ination. Or, are you in
your most magisterial language a a
writer of introductions to to.:k cata
logues, "incanai iated' for such under

after which It move easily. When the
joints, or hiuip-s, of the body are stiffened

not be moved without causing the most

I by its action ou the blood, relieves this
condition, and restores the joints to good

Ayer's Sarsaparilia has effected, in our
city, many most remurkablo cures, In

necessary, I could pive the names of
many individuals w ho have been cured
by taking this medicine. In my case It
has worked wonders, relieving m ot
Rheumatism,
after being troubled with it for year. In
this, and all other disease arising from
impure blood, there Is no remedy with
which I am acquainted, that affords such
