It thus spcms that tho Inland Empire will not escape a visit from the scourge, al though its ravages may be confined. Post masters and their clerks arc becoming alarmed over the Colfax example, and are being vaccinated. School children at Wes ton were all vaccinated recently, and the same ought to be said of those at Pendle ton and other towin in tho county. All due precautions should be taken "before hand, whether o- not they become nucosoa-ry."

The Wallowa Chieftain says of the mili tia eompaey at Joseph : ''Tbcro is proba bly no company in the Oregon militia that is taking more interest or making inoro ud- vaneimcnt than is or local company. Capt. Foryihe is Infusing a live interest into the drills, and by nisxt summer Com pany 'V will not bo the last in the regi ment by any means.''

Mr. Clias. Severance, of Mussol Shell river, who has .Tt.OOO head of sheep, informed Mr. Brooke that he found it nec essary to feed only eight times last winter and tho winter belore last but twelve times. Occasionally however, an extremely hard winter conies where stock would stiller if procauti0s have not been taken lo put up feed, but such wintcr.s are tlio exception and not the rule. Mutton sheep are worth about ono dollar it head more there than here, and the wool on account of being near er market and freer from dirt than ours, is 1 or 5 cents a pound more. Xo trouble has as yet occurred between the sheep and ;it tle men there, on account of the range, and probably there will be no conflicting inter ests of that kind for sometime to come. Mr. Brooke thinks that is undoubtedly a paradise for shecpruisers and says if he can miiko arrangements he will return there in the spring Xtathcr T!ir!;!l,..Ii Unships. , The.council is having the building on tjpe corner of Second and A streets fitted up for the Use of tho city officers, and all It lacks of being completed is paltering and naiut ing on the inside. This, "Cully'' the painter, was anxious to do at once. As wo had the key to tlio building wo took him around there, Tuesday, to look tit it and see how much paper would lie required. When we got inside the first thing "Cullv V eye dropped on was the skeleton which was found some time ago in Powder river and brought here for identification, lie took a inoasurment of the room, in a rather nervous manner, and said: "Sco here: Is this here skeleton going to bo here while I'm at work?" '"No doubt it will," wo replied, "for it will bo impossiblo to take it away for several days, and you want to commence on the job tomorrow." Well,'' said Cully," Tin not afraid of no skeleton that over lived, but the fact is I've got to paper a house over in North. Union first, then a fellow out in (lie edge of town wants mo to tint up his picket fence, and I've pot to do a little paper hanging for a widow woman down hero below town, and a man at tho Covo wants me to puint his residence, and I beleivo Cigna'! could do this jo'i better'n I can anyway, and'' IleiM wo cut Ids dis course short and requested him to do tho job at his earliest convenience. Like "Cully,'' wo are not afraid to monkey around with a skeleton, but at tho same tune it is not th plcasanti'st object thai could belli a council chamber, and to the coroner's jury havingfjt in charge wo would suggest the propriety of burying it at once. It is not probable that the remains will over bo identified, but if it should over be necessary to examine I hem again they could be exhumed. I Hon. L. B. Itinehart It I homo from the east.
