The Sunday Welcome and the Dem

East Portland, by J. W. Kelly, siinul
taneously in their lajjt week's issue,
printed articles speculating upon the
political decapitations about to take
place in the federal oiiices in Oregon
They state that Hon. J. C. Fullerton,
of the Roseburg land office, will be re
placed by Dinger Hermann, ' a formei'
incumbent of the office, and that Cora
is about to lose his plac on account of
his and his father's (Mickey) devotion
to Mitchell and his cause. It is no se
cret that Cora has, during the term of
his office, been a devout wcishiper of
th-j great St. John, and it is alt"gethr
likely that he will rtire from tho of
fice when his present appointment ex
pires. But it would take a stretch of
imagination to believe that Hon. Din
ger Hermann would give up his law
practice, which is worth three or four
times the salary, to accept a clerical po.
sition in the land office. It may be
possible that there is more disaffectson
in the Republican camp, between the
bosses and half-hreeds here in Oregon,
than ia generally known to outsider,
ut there is no fight between Dolph
and Mitchell. They both serve the
same masters and were supported by
the same forces.

rested in Lane county, in 1865, and
was held a prisoner at Fort Vancouver
for several months, when he was dis

The Palmer Brothers .bought the
steam saw mill at this place two years
ago, from J. D. Johnson. They get
their logs on Sandy, a small creek that
empties into Pass creek three miles
abovc here. Last winter they did not
get all t'isir logs out of Sand creek,
owing to to a cedai tree falling before
the logs when they were moring down.
By tho time the tree wa3 gotten out
the creek fell too low to float the logs,
With all their bad lue'e last winter
they have by close attention to business
and hard work made sove.-al thousand
dollars. They had mora logs cut last
summer, and on Christmas had sixteen
or eighteen hundred logs on Sandy.
Christmas morning, at 3 o'clock, the
Palmer brothers and hired men started
from hers to run the logs. They started
tho logs at daylight and were succeeding
well. Tne brothers were very much
elated, as they felt certain of making a
small fortune next summer. W. E.
Palmer had boen on the logs, but
stepped ashor and was watching ln3
brothers on the floating logs when the
dead top of a maple tree broke off and
struck him on the head, killing him in-
stantly. The left side of his head was
crushed, although the skin was not bro"
ken.
W. E. Palmer was a voung man of
more than ordinary intellect and supe-
. ., . r ,
r or qualifications; very industrious and
enterprising. During his two year.-,
btay with us he proved himself honest
and frenerous. His death is a loss to
the country as well as to his family and

friends. The landmarks of uis energy,
industry and enterprise still remain.

Recent inesthration has brought to
light some of the dark methods by
which the people's lands have been
voted away to railroad corporations.
It is shown by the memoranda of J. J.
Newell that Senators Kellogg of Lou
isiana, and McDonald of Arkansas, re
ceived over 100,000 for putting the
job through Congress for the Texas F.
cific land grant, in 1872. It was theis
influence and not their votes which
these senators sold to the corporation.
What the other gentlemen who were
also members of the senate at that time
and who voted for the bill, got for their
votes, will remain a mystery. Had
they had influence they might have
sold it openly and with as much ef
frontery as the gentlevuen from Louisi
ana and Arkansas.
Heavy snow storms have prevailed
in the western and middle States dur

derUke to cross his team and wagon for

Roseburg this week, looking after the
business interests of their firrr. He is
i good spirits and enjoying the best of
health. Ho says trade is good for this
season of the year. Charley spent his
Christmas with friends in Oakland and
reports that he had a way up time, and
enjoyed tho Christmas tree hugely.
The railroad track is laid to within
a few miles of Ashland. Work has
been suspended beyond Ashland except
tho tunnels and Ashland will probably
be the terminus until they are com-
Pted.
The mail fiom the south was delayed
several days this week in consequence
of damage to the road by the recent
storm between Ridele and Grants Pass,
there being many slides in the Cow
Creek mountains and some damrge to

The road has with difficulty been kept
oeii between Riddle and Itoseburg.

Last Saturday night a couple cf

in which Alex and Mr. Gotsill succeed-
