Trie Ibje'ct of In e fallowing sketch
Was b'drh in Yattihiu So'dnly, Oregon, in
1$4?; !lia fatter was the late Dr.
"James Mciiride, well known to all old
toteg'oniahs; an'd vfe'Os memory is still
Venerated by a!l vrio feVet knew him.
He waon of ih'e leading men in the
Yerritofyma!fiaily walk was al
Vays in the ttirction of everything that
was pure atfd 'noble, and, being a man
'of far aVoVe average ability, his exam
ple a$S4 teachings have beien lasting in
iheTr effect. His sons inherited their
father's ability, and uprightness of char
acter and all of them are a credit to our
young State. His brother,, Hon. Geo.
W. McBride, is the leading merchant of
Columbia couty iand speaker of the
House of the Legislature of 1582, where
he made a reputation thatwill favorably
'corapve witn ahy of his predecessors.
The subjefct d this sketch was educated at
College and there, received
a good English etftrcatie-n and laid the
foundation fdr a 'dasirisd bourse, which
has been steadily "T&ilt upon ever since
until his acquaintance with the. dead
languages will favorably compare with
that of any man in Oregon. He was
'admitted to" the bar in 1870 and has
practiced law in Oregon ever since, with
the exception ot two years, which were
spent in the same profession in Utah.
He was the first Republican ever elect
ed to the Legislature from Columbia
county, and that in the face of a large
Democratic majority. He 'owed his elec
tion solely to his great personal popular
ity, not only among Republicans but
also Democrats. In that Legislature
Mr. McBride made quite a reputation
as a debater, and his speeches and witty
Repartees fcre often VereVt'ed td by those
who heard tJiern. In he removed
from St. HeleTi b C-rtgorlCrty, where he
has practiced law 6 die satisfaction of
his clients and rWft'TtneratiVely t6 uim
"sslf. He las b'eea appointed by the
Governor Prosecuting Attorney of the
Tlf th Judicial ftisTrfct a position he is
well quanted o fill He is studious
and is destined 6 ake a position in the
front ranks of fie members of the pro
fession. Mr. McBride has. a pleasing
'address, a great deal of magnetism and
ituakes friends 'of all with whom he comes
In; contact. As a 'companion, he is both
entertaining and Instructive, and as a
friend, dne whose fidelity is bey 6nd ques
tion. Few- men possess 'as many good
'qualities as are to he found in the per
son of Mr. Tb&s. McBride. V. Fic
'tures. .
The person that wrote the artFcle in
the mist, called Clouded Titles, has 'his
bm brain (rf he has any) clouded by
VnisrtrpTesentations. Hefntends this for
lccSibe t6 try to Vfrlstle 'ih. febme "ads.
"What "fie puts lii qubtatidns is never In
"an affidavit of ours, if he means iii 'His
'article is a mass of ignorance, and stamps
liim as an ass, too ignorant tc know
what he is talking -about. He knows
neither the land law's 5ior;6tir business.
He can accuse :h'bceTy ih tliat S-ague
Vay. He has 'i b -prove us guilty, if the
'cowardly pup theans iis, not we to prove
"ourselves ihnocerit. This he knows he
'cannot 'do. He talks 'about lawsuits,
thirty years from 'how. He will proba
bly fill a drunkard's grave before then,
"or go" to New Jerusalem to meet Enoch,
who will use him for a lyre, the purpose
he has served in ibis world. His state
ments are like eternity, they rve Neith
er beginning nor end: they ao all in a
mist. We think the people ave mere
confidence in us than ih a man that will
get drunk under a sour apple rtree. No
reference made to the apple free that
'stands near what used to be Meeker's
Blacksmith Shop.
'Glehdy says he fought in the Army
of the Potomac, yet he pretends he is a
young man, rid as a stiguia calls us an
'old man. "Vknow -the last part of the
War the Army of 'the Potomac "was filled
'up with boju&tyflftmpers&hd substitutes.
Perhaps he was one of "them, or "some
'other " tute." Perhaps he was born on
'the field of battle when a oom&shell ex
ploded, if he was he must have been in
'the infantry. If you let hfcn tell it, he
will get to be so bid he will come over in
'the Mayflovoer before he 'gets through.

wonder what they gbt fbrthelr abusive
'articles about us. Did Charley Milckle
let them smell of his breith after he had
"eaten dinner at old guinea-hen's' ? How
is Susan Pi Winger ? Don't pass her off
as Kittemyer. That won't wash. It is

Letter From California.
Hanford, Cajl, Apr. 16, 1883.
Maor Adabs Dear Sir: Since last
t wrote you our mourning has been
turned to joy and the Granger's heart
has been lifted up. The rains have de
scended and all nature is full of praise:
Perhaps never ih lift memory of the
oldest Californian has any one event
been characterised by such a unanimity
of thought and desire and we hope and
trust that we have Wen duly thankful.
Through this country the crop prospects
are fine, although" the average is less
than some years revid&, yet the prom
ise is that the yield will bfing a large
surplus for export "and if prices rule high
the year will pfove a success.
The pYbSpSct of a dry year brought
about uite a ripple in Artesian circles
in tnis vicinity. Two enterprising men
near here -sank an experimental well
and at 508 ft. struck a fine flow of
water lhat has been increasing in vol
ume until now it is one of the best flow
ing wells in the country. This settled
the question and all the wfell boring ma
terial to bo had was brought into requi
sition and the, ball rolls on. ;
News has just reached here tlidt they
have a genuine case of small pox in Vis
alia, our county seat If this be true it
will quite a chill on business in that
town for a few weeks to come, j
The health of the country is good and
people ttppear more cheerful and happy
than usual; in fact there arej but two
things that, prevent this froni-being one
of the most prosperous and wealthy sec
tions in the State those two things are
want of unanimity in handling our
water supply, which is abundant, and
that withering, blighting policy as ad
ministered by our railroad magnates all
over the land fitra Siskiyu to Colorado,
from the Sierras to the Pacific the cause
of extortion and discrimination, is slow
ly wbrkiftg out itt legitimate fruits.
Many of our citizens have left for the
land where the webfoot do 16Ve to con
gre&Ae. They are mostly industrious,
enterprising people, extend to them a
hearty welcome for of such is the king
dom of "Webfoot

LOCAL iTBWS
Glendye has a rub on G. "V. McBride
we think, because he shows courtesy to
every one. He talks of men as if they
they should be as particularjas women
about their associates. If a man should
spend all his time T&rfting up people's
character he could do nothing else, and
who "shall be the censor I Allegiance
to the Muckle crowd is to le the coun
tersign and watchword according co Lap
ham's notion. He is hired to white
wash them. We like the Strongest side
too well to be:a. Muckle man. I Their lit

their popularity. It looks like a sick

himself either. ;
The mist knows more about our circu
