THE OREGON SCOUT. AMOS K. J ONUS KDlTOIt City and County Official Paper. Friday, October 14, 1887, Icrilny, tlic matter having been close I i fo fnr ii9 t!ic Willamette Vnllcy and Cuscado Mountain Wagon Koatl is concerned.

Among and:whose interests, which the road other literary articles, it contains a j in question involved, are that they story by Jilla IIigt,'inson, the s.ccne of ! mav obtain the lands, upon which MRS. J. C. SUMMERS, UINIOM, OREGON, -DEALER IX- MILLINERY, which is laid in Grande Itonde valley. The story, however, is not founded on fact, lint is purely a product of the imagination. The secretary of the interior has reversed the decision of the commiss ioner of the general land olllco of Feb ruary, 1880, in tho case of Donald McKca vu. the Northern I'aHllo. The question at Usui was whether the Northern l'auilio has a errant of lauds from Portland, Oregon, to l'ugct sound, AVnshiiigton territory, a dis tance of about forty miles. The com missioner found that the company had no grant.. This decision of the secretary reversed that, and linds tint the joint resolution of congress, ap proved May .".1 , 1870, makes a grant of land between said points. I'urehni-crA of goods will be benefit ed, in the long run, by making it a a rule to niil'oiiizo, exclusively, the merchants who advertise. The rea son for this is obvious. Tho wide awake merchant who has, or thinks he bus, bargains to offer will invaria bly make it known by judicious adver tising, and haying an ambition to get all (ho trade possible will offer every inducemeni to secure it. It is a great deal more pleasant and prolitable to deal with this kind of a man than if is with one of the opposite kind, who, having nothing to offer, has nothing tosav,and who sits inside of his es tablisriinent wailing for cuslbiners to intrude themselves, and insist ou buying something. wnmroiimiHiwwww they have squatted and fenced in with out paying the company for them. Thin Summer over 950, 000 has been expended upon the road, and about 200 men are now at work along various portions of it, repairing the damage done by landslides, wash outs, etc. In view of thcc facts it is evident that the lalid grant has been honestly earned and should not be forfeited." Since the lands along the line of this road have become val uable, we have no doubt that the company woulo be willing to put a few more men at work, if it would make innt'crs look better and strengthen their case any. Verily the world is full of corruption, and the average legal tribunal a farce. COHU USPOXDEXCE. 1 carry the newest, cheapest and most fashionable line of Millinery Goods in this country.

The lunatic (ieorge Francis Train is creating considerable stir in Chicago, and is exercising his twisted intellect in behalf of the condemned anarchists. The Hxaminer has the following from Chicago: (ieoi-tro Francis Train delivered a lecture in the l'rinccss theatre, this afternoon, to a small au dience. A part, of the lecture, if lit erally reported, would read like a nightmare. ' ISciug born on a moun tain top," said .Mr. Train, "I. saw you couldn't hang seven men in Chicago for committing no crime. (Creat applause) I ant going to move Jiero and settlo down. All in favor of my living here say 'aye.' (Ayes vociferously granted) You hang those seven men if you dare, and 1 will head L'( i,00(), 000 workingtneu to cut. the throats of everybody in Chica go, All in in favor of cutting the throats of everybody in Chicago say ay',' (Ayca given with a roar of laughter) How canyon convict men of being accessories to a crime for which there is no principal V ' ho sud-dr-tilx shouted. 'Furthermore, how are IIicmj men accessories, and why should they hang? My similar ribbon ing .lelf, DavU and Itobert K. Leo ought to have hung for tiring ou Fort Sunipter; Douni Kcarncv ami tho jest of the snndlottor and i-omd edi tors ought to hang for the Hock Springs Chinese iuasacrc which they fomented, and Mayor llnni-un and the chief-, of police who permitted the nitarrhM leaders to incite tho lluy markot massacre during years of in llammatory spccchc" should hang." A vole was then taken on a proposi tion to hang day tionld to a lamp post, and uunnimouly carried.

Tho effect of their golden hued pel suasions Ik apparent in tho following from a 1'ortland paper: 4 f30ino of the gentlemen who have been attending tltu wagou road . Investigation at Albany rvltuue.d yes- To the editor of the Ohkook f-'cocT. AVnshinglon, Oct. fith, 1387, In administration circles it is given on t that tlio next important question for consideration is li e appointment of suitable members of the joint High Commission to adjust the fishery troubles with our Canadian neighbors and it is understood that Secretary Hayard linds great dillictilly in secur ing the services of capable men for these positions of inter-national trust, as it is thought to be a thankless and profitless work, the Until issue of which is involved in the most hcwil tiering perplexity and uncertainty. It is expected thai the Commission will also itnderl-ike the settlement of the disputed boundary between the United Slates and Hritish Columbia, adjust the jurisdiction "of the United Sltttes over llchring Strait, and also consider the question of reciprocal commercial relations between the Unilcd States and Canada. It appears that full confidence iias been restored in financial circles by tho action of ihe Treasury in purchas ing bonds, by which means about thirty millions have been added to tho volume of the country's circulat ing medium within the past fortnight, thus dispelling, at least for the present, all fears of general commer cial distress. And now that, the bieakers are supposed to have been safely passed, it is apparent that, outside of Wall street, the danger was more imaginary than real, lor the general business situation was and is as good or blter than usual before Ihe government came to tho rescue of commerce. In proof of this, I have to offer the records of the Treasury Department which show that (here are !?lo, 000,000 ntoro money in circu lation nowthtin there was hist year.
