Review: Though the loss of stock in this
county hss been great, it is not believed to

by some 3QQ carcasses, as if contemplating
which to begin on next. Such a situation
is, indeed, disheartening, for the dead sheep
no doubt represented the bard eai nings of
the owner for years, and for hiin to gage
Upon their dead bodies and realise that
their pelt were all that remained to him as
a source of profit, would cause him to feel
disheartened about going to make another

It appears that the nigbt on which the boy

Editor Tmss-MoOTAUKEB-
Since tbe appearance in your paper, of
recent issue, of a list of Wasco coonty's
tax-payers who pay tax on more than
$5000 worth of property, there seems to be
some dissatisfaction relative to tbe
ment of some of onr wealthy citizens, which
reflects unjustly upon Mr. Gourlay's
ment.
To go through the whole list would re
quire too much space; but since tbe amount
assessed to Max Vogt & Co. seems to reflect
the greatest injustice to Mr. Gourlay's as
sessment, especially when paraded by polit
ical adversaries, let us examine the facts
and figures and see bow easy it is for critics
to err when tbey jump at conclusions.
Max Vogt & Co. is composed of Max Vogt
and Airs, unapman. Ihe company pays a
tax, then Max Vogt and Mrs. Chapman
eacn pay a tax on individual property.
When Msx Vogt k Co. appeared in the
list referred to it was generally supposed
that it included the individual property of
Max v ogt and Airs. Uhapman also.
Mr. Packett, in 1888, assessed Max Vogt
a i;o. at Ccw.nya, with no indebtedness.
Mr. Gourlay's gross assessment of the same
company for 1889 was $50,600, with in
debtedness this year of $24,650, deducting
such indebtedness and we have $25,950:
hence this sum appeared in the liet, and it
has been supposed that this sum was the
amount for which Max Vogt, Max Vogt k
Co. and Mrs. Chapman was assessed,
Let ns see what the gross assessment of
those individuals really was. We have seen
that Max Vogt k Co. was assessed for $50,
600, Mrs. Chapman $4400, Max Vogt
J4yU and tourteeu outstanding mortgages
upon which mortgagors pay the tax aggre
gating $23,673.95, making the total gross
assessment of those three individuals, com
monly known as Max Vogt, $33,623.95.
Tms may be a low assessment, but let each
fair-minded farmer reflect upon his own
assessment this year aud we think it will
compare favorably with the general assess
ment of the county.
Let each tax-payer reflect before he in
dulges harsh judgments and he will not
coudemn a man who strove to do justice to
all, and whose sympathy has been with onr
people during tbe year of adversity, and
who has well and truly discharged the
duties of his office, as records ami figures
will show. B. F. Hokb. .
Hob. J. D. Lee for Utverasr.

Editor Tmas-MocsTAiniaK.
Xhe many friends and political admirers
of Hon. J. D. Lee here, as well as else
where, in the state are zealously advocating
his nomination as governor.
While there are many of Oregon's citizens
who would fill this office creditably to
themselves, and in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the people, yet the state con
vention should look well to the probability
of electing the candidate nominated by
them. j
Mr. Lee is well and favorably known all
over the state. For ten years he was a
leader in the Oregon legislature and - bas
uever known defeat. He is purely an Ore
gonian, having been reared aud educated
within this state. He has never affiliated
with any monopoly, plot or scheme for the
sake of personal greed, or pecuniary bene
fits. His record is spotless as the alpine
snow, and be will be acceptable to the
whole people of Oregon. He is a property
owner in Wasco county and ia interested in
the development ot the Inland Umpire, but
what is more be is an honest and able man,
and will labor to serve tbe best interests of
the whole state.
The farmers and laboring men of Oregon
will indorse the name of Hon. J.- D. Lee
for governor, and I hereby nominate the
Oregon boy and people's friend for governor,
Hon. J. u. lite. UTUEir.

Grand
everywhere, an excellent reputation; but,
as a resident of Eastern Oregon and of
Wasco county, I am not in favor of going
beyond our own limits for a governor,
when we have within these an available
candidate, who has already filled the
gubernatorial chair with marked honor to
himself and to the political party to
which he belongs. The records of the
state will prove that Z f. Moody made
the best governor the state ever had. His
entire record is that ot a clean, efficient,
level-headed and incorruptible executive.
Wbile he occupied tbe chair the whole
machinery of state govenment ran
smoothly. Without a particle of tbe dem
agogue in bis political make-up, instead
of the spurtire escentricities of the con
stitutional crank his administration was
the smooth and steady current of the
majestic river. He found the state with a
debt of some $200,000, and a state levy of
5 mills. He resigned with a state out
of debt for the first time in all its previous
history, while the state levy was reduced
to 1 19-20 mills. Nor can it be said the
appropriations and expenditures were less
curing upvernor Moody's administration
than tbey have been einte a period that
has seen the state levy again increased to
tbe enormous sum of 6 mills on every
dollar of taxable property in tbe state.
Fully a quarter of a million dollars was
spent on tbe government buildings and
grounds in addition to the cost oi an extra
session ot the legislature, wnicli aggre
gated $40,000. Such a record as this any
man may and orgbf to be proud ot.
As a resident of Wnsco county, aud proud
ot the district that gave uregon -the best
governor she ever bud," I place in nom.
nation for the executive chair of this, state
the name of ex-Governor Z. F. Moody.
A Farmer.
la Memoriom
Mrs. Mary Sieman, wife of Richard Sig
man, died at ber residence near uuiur on
Thursday, March 6, 1890. The deceased
had suffered for a long time with that fell
destroyer, consumption; therefore her de
mise was not unlooked for. She bore her
sickness with meekness snd in fortitude,
and a few hours before her death spoke to
each of the family with that kindness and
affection in way of advice and counsel that
made the impression that she was ready
nd prepared to die. She leaves a husband
and seven children tbe oldest, 19 years,
and the youngest 2 years old.
The funeral was largely attended on Sat
urday, March 8, when her remains were
bunea in tbe Udd Fellows cemetery.
In the death of Mrs. Sigman our commu
nity has lost a worthy member of society,
the children an affectionate mother, and
the husband a tried and worthy helpmate.
The family have the heartfelt sympathy of
the
whole community
in this, their sad
hour of affliction.

O. R. N. CO.'a Shops.
As an evidence of the changes that have
recently taken place at tbe company s
hops at this place, it may be noticed that
the boiler makers' shops, where two
weeks ago there were employed 8 boiler
makers and 12 helpers, now there are 3
boiler makers and 7 helpers. In the black
smith shops there were 13 fires, there are
now 11 with 4 helpers discharged. In the
machine shops there were Zo men, where
there is now half that number. In the car
repairing shop there were 20 to 25, now
Three men are in the mill and. not suf
ficient work for that number. In fact it is
said that not three-fifths of the men are
there now that were employed 3 weeks ago.
Tbe large lathe has been removed to Albina,
and the drill press to La Grande. The
large planer is also removed from here, but
its destination is net known, tio more en
gines are to come here for repairs, and no
new work is to be done here only slight
repairs, so says one high in authority.

Eight Mile, March 10, 1890.
Editor Tuiks-Mouktaike&r:
farmers more than any one else are in
terested in haviug good roads. For the last
four or five years our roads have been in
very bad condition during the busy season
one cause for this was on account of the
districts being too large for one man
oversee.
During the January term of the county
court, tbe road districts were changed, but
instead ot being reduced in size, they were
made larger, until road district Mo. 15, con
tained nearly 120 miles of road. Citizens
complained, and a petition for a division of
tbe district was signed by a great number
of them and presented to the court: but we
are informed that no change can be made
during tbe present year. And so it seems
that a county court has power to change a
road district against the wish of every citi
zen in the district. Yet we are told that
this is a government by the people, for tbe
people. A FARMER,
Ebskineville, March 10, 1S90,
Editor Tiacs-MorxTannnu:
, We think it safe to predict the return of
spring, howeyer we wilt venture. Ihe ma
jority of the snow is gone and we have bad
a welcome Chinook for two or three days,
and tbe surviving stock have no trouble in
finding nice fresh, green grass. Our brother
farmers all say there is a better piospect
tor abundant yield this tall thin tor tbe
past five years.
-1 noticed a short squib from your Moro
correspondent "scribbler comparing us to
a man who gave his friend an apple to bite.
and afterwards wished to trade the apple
tor tbe bite. Win say that Moro wants the
apple in the shape ot the connty seat of
Sherman, but that remains to f be settled by
ballot; perhaps then we wiILknow who gets
the apple and who the bite. We don't
wish to speak ill of any of our sister towns.
and would advise "Scribbler" to let up on
Erskineville if it expects to even set a
smell of the apple.
Merchants say times are very dull and
money scarce, but hope in the near future
to replenish our wallet with abundance of
tbe filthy lucre if old "Ora Bora" does not
go back on us.
We think from reports of loss of stock in
Eastern Oregon and other places that a
great many men went out of the stock bus-
mess.
Circuit court set to-day and, as usual, has
taken several of our citizens down to tbe
hub as jurors.
G. W. Messinger, onr road supervisor,
will repair the washout in the road this
week between this - place and Urass V alley.
Our mail now goes in a cart, heretofore it
has been going on horseback.
Messu. Coon and Holder, of the Grass
Valley grange, passed through to-day to

Editor TiMES-XouBTAiNiKR.
Yesterday your correspondent took
short ride up Mill creek, and fonnd the
roads in pretty fair condition despite cur
rent reports.
Farmers are busily engaged preparing for
spring work in earnest, borne have already
begun to work the soil. All seem nopeiui
and in good spirits, having suffered little
more than the usual loss of stock this
winter.
In some plsces the high waters have
washed out sullies in tbe bottom lands
along the creek, but upon the whole the
Mill creek country has been yery fortunats
Buds of tbe fruit trees are beginning to
swell, and appearances promise a bountiful
harvest of fruit. If the present mild
weather continues, Mill creek with its large
orchards, vineyards and berry gardens wiil
soon approach a miniature resemblance. of a
blooming paradise.
There are little crusts of snow still cliug-
ing to the ground at the extreme end of tbe
settlements, and from the rocky cliffs of the
surrounding hills there hangs great gorges
Icicles that stand out in beautiful con
trast to tbe green valley below.
The people seem to be wide-awake, and
fencing, building aud various other im
provements are going steadily on.
Tbe voters of that school district will as
semble on Monday next to decide the ques
tion of removing the schoolhonse to a more
convenient and central location.

Sheriff McFarland returned Tuesdsy
morning from his visit to Wallula, bringing
with bim Peter Borg, who is under arrest
on a charge of grand larceny, in having
robbed Hunt's grading camps, in the Dry
Creek region. Sheriff McFarland states
that the chase ending in Borg's capture was
quite an exciting one, and lasted until early
this morning. Borg, who left here on the
k XV. T. train at noon Monday became
frightened and jumped off tbe train several
miles this side of Hunt's Junction, and
struck out at a run over the hills, followed
by some of the tram men. ' Bwg's legs were
evidently of good quality, as he soon dis
tanced bis pursuers. By gaining a high
point and watching, however, they saw that
he ran out into the hills for two or three
miles and then, turning toward Wallula,
aa between that place and Hunt's Junc
tion, into the sage brush plain between the
places. A posse of ottioers was gathered
and surrounded the place. Tbe ground was
beaten over time after time, but, darkness
having come on, without success. At last.
toward morning, Borg arose from his place
- The
of concealment in the sage brush, and the
valiant officers rushed toward and captured
him. Borg, who was without an overcoat,
was exhausted by his long run and the cold,
and could stand his cramped position
longer. When asked why he ran away,
the prisoner stated that parties living in
the vicinity of Dry Creek had offered bim
$200 to leave, and tht, fearing barm if he
to
remained, he bad concluded to go to San
Francisco. He said they had paid him $100,
of which $90 still remained. On the re
turn trip he told Sheriff McFarland that
during the night members of the searching
party had passed within three feet of where
he was lying without seeing him.
Wreck, of an Engine,
Friday's da::y.
Train No. 22 double header which left
this city about half-past 9 o'clock last night,
met with an accident two miles west of
Blalock about 1 o'clock this morning, by
which one of the locomotives was ditched,
and the engineer, Geo. Baker, badly scalded
about the face, breast and arms. The fire
man, A. Castines, and brakeman. J. J
Burns, jumped and escaped with slight in

spread the rails; but the first engine passed
over safely and the second received the
shock. The engineer of the first engine
saw that something waa wrong and gave
the alarm; but not in time to avert the ac
cident. The freight cars are in a badly
dilapidated condition, and three or more of
them are ditched and the freight scattered
promiscuously around. As soon as tbe
news was received in this city the U. P,
Railway's surgeou, Dr. H. Logan, went, to
Blalock on the east-bound passenger train
and attended to the injured men. They
weie brought to the city and lodged at the
Cosmopolitan Hotel. Neither of the in
jured men have families, but their friends
are showing them every possible care and
attention.

Queen of rivers, not tbe king,
Da thy fretful waters sing

Queenly ships will lordly ride,

Rippling, racing to the sea,

Listen then:
There's a story oft' been told.

Of a river, cavilling, bold,

Conquered Her, as conquers can;
And the wealth of every land
O'er her bosom rolled.

One whose will to do bears fame, -In

Tby place is told.
Thou shalt turn the plodding wheel,
That revolves the blustering mill
From source to bar.
But hold
Then thy queen, where shall it bet
From thy sources to the sea
Where tby star?
Glancing 'round,' above, below,

Streams aloft ber shining light.

I am standing by thy grave, dear brother,
Where oft 1 ve stood before.
And my heart ia filled with sadness
lor the loved one "gone before .
You are at rest dear Charloy,
For they ve laid you in the tomb,
- But I'll ne'er forget thee, Charley
Oft' when twilight shadows gather
Round the home we ve loved so well.
Charley, I think of thee, dear brother.
More than words can tell.
Think of thee, and often linger
Where the pine tree tassels avi
And the flowerets bloom so sweetly,
U er tby peaceful, silent grave.
Yes, I miss thee, sadly miss thee
From our broken household bai d,
But I hope some day to greet thee
Charley, in that better land.
Fleeting years may bring their changes,
Years so fraught with care and pain.
But I'll ne'er forget thee, Charley,
Whue I here on earth remain.
