TUB GOLD BRICK GAME.
Port Townsend, Nov. 15. Tbe gold
brick coundeuce game was nearly worked
on Willian Bishop, the hop kiner, of Jef
ferson couDtj, to-dar, by a brace of
operators. One of tbe sacs, Thomas
Kearns, was disguised as an Indian, and
purported to know a secret mine in Colo
rado, where gold was as plentiful as dew
drops. Henry Gordon, an accomplice,
assisted the supposed Indian, who exbibi
U'd a crnld brick which stood the test, and
wns a'lt-getl to be worth $1000. Bishop
hclu secret cnosul'arions and bad ar
raDged to pay $500 for tbe brick to-day.
I tie conference between the trio near town
attracted the suspicion of the police.
Kearns and Gordon were arrested for
vagrants, and when searched were sup
plied with numerous male, female and
Indian disguises. They inadvertently
confessed the cold brick scheme, which
led to an investigation with the foregoing
results. Bishop has lived amoDg the In

the Chinese murderer wbo bas been on
trial for tbe past tbree days was found
guiity of murder in tbe second degree, the
jury deliberating only tbree hours, the
general expression of sentiment is that
the crime committed was cold blooded
murder, and but for the lapse of time be
tween the wounding and death of the
roan murdered, the murderer would have
been hanged. Tbe assault was made on
the murdered man June l.but be did not
die until the middle of September. His
liviLg so long was regarded by local doc
tors as almost miraculous, as be bad tbree
mortal pistol shot wounds beside twelve
knife wounds. An examination after
death showed that tbe intestines were
severed in a number of places. So Ho
Me will probably be sentenced to-morrow.

newspaper reports about the abolition of
Siberia as a place ot banishment, said:
"Well, it seems to me it bas a good
foundation."
"In what wiil consist the new reform?"
"As far as I understand," be replied.
"it will consist in tbe fact that political
and other criminals, instead of being sent
to S.beri.i, will be in the future confined
in central prisons nr sent to more or less
remote places in European Russia, such
as Perm, Archangel, etc., thus ridding
Siberia of its large and dangerous contin
gent of criminals, lessening tbe cost to
tbe government, and last, but not least,
quieting the just indignation of civilized
nations against the inhumanity and bar
barity of transporting human beings
through S00O miles of dreary, frozen land,
bringing only about one-half of tbe origi
nal number transported to their destina
tion. stranger than romance.

Baker City wants the Oreon Pacific rail
road or a branch thereof. It is not proba
ble that the O. P. will abandon the proposed

ing the two railroads will sooner or later be
built by one of the lines. The New baa' a
suggestion to make to the O. P. manage
ment, which they are'at liberty to carry out
or reject, aa tbey see fit, for we make no
charges for the advice, ttiusly: Innsmucb as
Prineville wants a branch of the O. P. we
suggest that the company survey and1 build
a branch from the main line south of Pi-iue-ville
to that city and cross over onto upper
Bridge creek, thence up the John Day valley
and across by the mining camp of Robin
sonville and Granite to Baker City or else
cross the John Day at the lower end of the
valley and run up the Middle Fork, tapping
the Susanville and Elk Creek region, thence
into Baker. Either one of these routes is
feasible, and in almost a direct line between
Prineville and Baker City.

The irallowa Siinal savs: "Judge Fee is
our ideal of a judicial officer. Upon the
bench he knows neither friend nor foe; but
meets every question from the legal and
judicial standpoint, and disposes ot it with
out making a political speech to the 'peo
ple' or the 'taxpayer.' The only speech we
ever heard him make was when the grand
jury returned no indictment against Suther
land for having compelled his child to
swear to a lie. He said: 'The court finds a
atrange state of afiaira in Wallowa county,
HTien a man is indicted and remains in the
county, the indictments are stolen. If be
leaves the undertakings are stolen. A
party will go before the grand jury and
swear to a statement, then come into court
and testify that the statement to tbe grand
jury was false, compelled by another through
threats and duress. And now the grand
?ury returns 'not a true bill' against tbe
man wbo used the threats and compelled
the false swearing. The court is not re
sponsible for this state of affairs, but if the
people can stand it the court can.' We re
gard this aa a blow at tbe grand jury sys
tem, which is rapidly becoming a farce, and
at the still stranger fact that country vaults
and safes will not bold the county records."
The case of the State va. Williams and
others, which haa been on trial in tbe cir
cuit court for the last two or three days,
went to the jury last evening at about 5
o'clock, and a verdict was returned for the
State, in about as short a time as it took
tbe jury to write their verdict. This case
is one that requires more than a passing
notice. It is one of far-reaching import
ance, one that involvea the question of
bread and butter to hundreds. It involves
the right of the people to catch salmon, or
other fish, in tbe waters of the Columbia
river, at places id the river opposite land
owned by private parties. The court in
structed the jury that the Columbia river
waa a navigable stream, and aa such be
longed to the people of tbe state, that
the title to lauds lyiug alohg the bank of a
navigable stream extends only to ordinary
high water mark and no farther. All with
in ordinary high water mark is the prop
erty of the people and cannot be owned by
private parties, it follows, inereiore, mat
the public have an inalienable right to fish
anywhere, in the Columbia river, whether
opposite lands owned by private parties or
otherwise, and the right to anchor their
nets and land their boats anywhere on tne
shore below ordinary high water mark.

The dispatches from Astoria to-day tva
that Pat O'Brien, who was shot bv Phiilin
Pierce at the Central hotel last Saturday
afternoon, died from the effect ot his
wounds at St, Mary's hospital yesterday
morning. His funerLl took place to-day.
Public opinion sustains young Pierce in hia
act. The coroner' jury held an inquest to
day. The verdict made no charge simply
stating that the deceased came to hia death
-from the effects of gunshot wounds received
on tbe IGth day of November, 1889, by a
pistol in the banda of one P. Pierce. Pierce
was brought before the coroner's jury, but
would make no statement. O'Brien made
no ante-mortem statement.
Astoria Pioneer: The advantages of ad-'
vertising may be realized when we look at
some of these little obscure places which
have sprung into existence within the last
few months. Pasco everybody knows
where it is has disposed of half a million
dollars worth of lota. The following from
a Gray's harbor paper is still another inci
dent: "Four thousand pounds of advertis
ing matter ordered by the Improvement
Co., will be furnished this week, among
which are 200,000 fine lithograps of western
rv ashing ton. u. a. Douglas, wbo bas been
engaged aa advertising agent, will start
next week on a tour of the state, in the in
terests of the company, and rhile absent
will visit and bill every town and eity of
any consequence in Washington, with mat
ter descriptive of the harbor in 'general and
Coamopoli in particular." Cosmopolis ia
but a few years old and can boast of but 1
very little to invite capital and settlement
compared with our own section. Neverthe- -
less they go ahead and accomplish wonder
ful things, simply because thoy possess the

Editor TmES-MocKTAixEEa:
In the Times-Mountaineer of the 9th,
I find a communication from Mr, Gourlay
with reference to the sufferers in the dry
belt. His views are certainly correct, m
acknowledgment of which I doff my bat,
make my best bow and say, thank you, Mr.
Gourlay; thank you, sir. It is a step in tbe
right direction. Those suffering most are
those having moved upon new farms and
spent all their earnings in improvements; a
few going some in debt, in the bope that
their crop would enable them to pay np.
Having lost their crop, and not having per
fected a title to their land, having no credit
and unable to give the requisite security
such must suffer unless they are helped.
Your humble servant is one of the number.
But, Mr. Editor, I do not think there ia a
man in Wasco or Sherman counties who
considers" himself an object of charity. I
feel certain that in expressing my own sen
timents I express tbe sentiment of every
man in this community. Send ns a helping
hand, and we will py the money back with
interest. Some bave obtained aeed with
their work, and were compelled to sell it to
buy bread for their families, W.

After tbe protracted period of drought
that held sway over this tect'on of country
for so long, it is pleasant to be able to re
cord a more prosperous state of i flairs.
Tbe hill that a ahort time ago were all
seared and burnt, are now clothed with a
yerdant mantle. The weather is bright and
sunny, a reflection of which can be sees in
the faces of the now hopeful settler.
There ia quite a boom in this quiet little
city of the delL A new brick stable and a
saloon have just been erected, and the merry
ring of the carpenter's hammer is becoming
quite a familiar sound.
The question of early railway communi
cation with the south is being eagerly dis
cussed, and it behooves the citizens of The
Dalles to bestir themselves, or tbey will
soon lose forever this the fairest portion of
that vast domain that bas hitherto poured
it bountiful product into The Dalle.
I am sorry that I cannot (end you any
item of local gossip, as my place of resi

A Mystery.
An old settler named Louis Mar, who has
lived alone for many year on his claim
about four mile below the Lower Cascades,
on the Washington side, was found dead in
a field back of bis bouse several daya since.
He had been shot, and waa found with his
gun lying across hi breast. One barrel of
tbe gun, which was an old shotgun, was
discharged, and -it had evidently been
placed across the body to giv the impres
sion that Mar bad shot himself. It is sup
posed that the old man bad some money -by
mm, and that he waa murdered on that"
account, aa the house waa ransacked and
everything turned upside down. Two men
who have been camped near the place are
suspected of committing the murder, as
they disappeared on the day it was com
mitted, the boat in which they crossed the
river having been found where thev left it,
The matter baa been kept qniet in hope of
securing th murderers. It ia aaid that in
addition to the gunshot wound there is a
hole made by a rifle bullet through the
body.
