A Good Result. , " Farming, in Wasco county, is gener ally profitable especially when com pared with like pursuits in other lo calities, and especially has fruit farm ing proven profitable to those who bave devoted themselves to raising just the right kind' of. fruit.

He has an orchard of five acres located about si? miles soutb of tbe town of Hood Kiver, that is now six years old, and this season be sold the crop of apples for fttOO spot cash before picking, thus- receiv ing $120 an acre as a result of his farm ing.

Bennett, of this city, bas just received notice trom the clerk of the United States circuit court at Tacoma, of a decision by Judge Hanford in the case of tbe Northern Pacific Railroad Co. vs. Cunningham, which is of great importance to sheep raisers within the belt of land covered by the grant to that railroad company. The case was one brought by the railroad company to enjoin Cunning ham from letting his sheep grar" across the railroad sections. Judge Hanford states the argument on behalf of Cunningham as follows: i. That in all such grants or con veyances; that is, wnere- tne larc grained is entirely surrounded by tLe land .reserved to.the grantor, and vi-e vera, that there Is a way of necessity which passes to the grantee on the one hand, and is reserved by the grantor on the other, to pass across the land gra nted or reserved as the' case may be. to reach Its own land. "2 That this right goes with the land and passes to any person using the land with the consent of the owner wbi-ther it be a tenant or a licensee, goi;ig there with tho permiaslon of thp owner. 3. That the defendant in this case, in common with all citizens of the country, is a. licensee or tne govern ment in the use of its public lands for crazincr purposes, and goes there to use the land with its permission and authority, and therefore, as long as such Implied permission and authority continues, has tb? same right to go across plaintiff's land to reach the government sections, as against the olaintlff. as tbe government Itself would have." And then says: "I can and do give the defendant the full benefit of tne above proposi tions in their entirety." Judge Hanford holds further, how ever, that this does not autnonze tne grazing of sheep upon the lands of the railroad company generally, out only the right to use sufficient of the rail road lands as a highway, to gain access to the government lanis, and that the plaintiff is entitled to have injunction against the use of Its lands for gen eral grazing purposes. This will be very satisfactory to the settlers and sheepmen, and . they only claim the right to pass across the rail road sections to the government lands. PECCL14B AND PERTINENT.

Here is a sample of one of the replies he received. It is from a prosperous Hood River farmer, one who pays his obligations promptly and still who wants justice done ail. and insists that justice be done all tax payers In every part of the country Here is the letter: "Mr. Robert Kelley, Sheriff: I re ceived your notice of my unpaid taxes This is not an oversight of mine, but I had made ifp my mind to never pay Into the treasury of Wasco county another dollar of taxes until .the offic lals had either imposed a penalty for non payment or taken action to collect dennqucnt taxes. Tbis conclusion I bad come to be cause ol tbe state of the county's financial condition. The countv is paying 8 per cent on a large amount of outstanoing worrants. The partieB who bold part of tbe warrants are owing (or have been several years taxes on their property, and have not paid tbem because they could iuvest the money rta county warrants and draw interest on the same. If you would impose a 10 per cent penalty every six months on tbe un paid taxes, these ghouls, who are liv ing off the taxpayers would have to pav up. I most sincerely" hope your ' notice means what it says, 'that you must proceed at once to levy on-all property on which taxes are unpaid.' If this means a levy of 10 per cent on the amount as a first item of expense, I think the county wo tld soon be able to pay off at least a part of its old war rants. I hope we now have a set of officers who will do something besides draw their salaries and their breath. . If they do not do more then it would be better for the country ac large and tbe taxpayers in general if they wou'.d cease to draw the latter." . At the Pavilion Tonight.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20. A dispatch to tbe Herald from Manila says: "The insurgent general, Pio Pilar, has agreed to evacuate Paco Paco, the last suburb of Manila held by tbo Fil- liplnos, October 25. This completes the American oonquest of the city. The last rebel has left Cavlte. The Americans now bold Cavlte and Ma nila, the rest of the Island of Luzon being in tbe hands of the insurrec tionist faction. How little power Agulnaldo posses ses is shown by bis refusal to grant passes to visit tbe Interior, on the ground that the northern provinces ars held by General Makaboulos, who Is in revolt against the Malo Los gov ernment. Agulnaldo has ordered the release of Spanish civilian prisoners taken at Iloilo. Steamers under the American 'flag are foroldden to load by tbe native authorities un'ess they pay a tax of 5 per cent ad valorem on tbe cost, and 20 per cent on .their freight to the local governor. ' A large stock of tobacco was seized at Cagayan from tbe Compania Gen erate and from the factories. Aqui- naldo refused to return the prize as he requires funds. Aguinaldo is preparing for a possible return of the islands to Spanish rule and will entertain no proposals from Spain. Every native is sworn to join his ranks In such an eveut. - - - POLITICS IN.
