Ono year from now they will be entitled to vote at all elections aud will have as much weight in voting for the removal of the county seat, and a levy of a tax on the people to pay for it, as the oldtwt and heaviest tax-payer in the county. Subscribe to the subsidy. Hunt's road means increased value of lands and all kinds of property, with decreased taxation on the same. It means a ready market for all prednce. It means from two to three dollars more per ton for bay, and from five to ten cents more for evory hunhol of grain raised. It means good times, pionty 01 money and freedom from the clutche of the rapacious O. R. k N. Co. It means n ora of unprecedented prosperity Get in and give what yu are going to, and do it cheerfully. or rate than this blood ' jyoimgstaffloiis and 14 A Narrow View of It. The Wallowa Chimin, with the re markable ncutencn f,,r which it 1 noted, attrnillts to tlirnw it..-. jvery man 10 wis tnte. There lire, no j doubt, quite a number of men in Wallowa county with comprchcu-it.n suflhlrnity wide to grasp a situation when they ste it, and free enough from narrow prejudices to work for their own Interest when they know what it is. These will readily -co that the Hunt road will be of greater licnc Ilt to them twenty-five miles away than the O. R. it N. Co's. road would be if it ran by their door. The difference in freight charges and the difference in the markets they lead to, would make it so. Again, if Hunt's road i built. a hrmich road would be extended through Wallowa vnllcv in a very short time. At any rate it is more reasonable to suppon; that Hunt would extend a branch to Wallowa much sooner than the O. It. A X. Co.. for it is his policy to accommodate the people, while the oth er company accommodates the people only when it is forced to. The O. 1!. X. Co. will never build a branch road to Wallowa unless the Hunt road is built, and ten chances to one that it will not do so then, if It should build the road it would be forced by competition with Hunt to rc duco its extortionate charges and abate somewhat it thlcvl-h proclivities, and that would greatly benefit the people. Thirsting for Ooro. One day Inst week some reckless individ ual, not having the fear of the Lord in his mind, had a bogus telegram passed in to the captain of the Ia Grande militiu com pany, pertaining to have come from the governor and calling for the noble Warriors of that courageous company to boon hands at once at the Department of State as a German man of was was under full sail to ward San Francisco Bay with intent to commence operations immediately; upon its arrival, The captain, with hurried promptness, sounded the bugle call "to arms" which was responded to by all of the members of the company who showed up at the depot in full uniform, ready to be borne away on the incoming train to the scene of carnage. But about the time the train was due the joke was divulged and the war-like band marched silently bark to headquarters in sad disappointment at having lost an opportunity of showing their valor upon the field of battle in de fense of their native shore, and to let the native Samoan know that they were ready and willing to pour out their life blood to right their many wrongs. ThU first en gagement of the company lias ended with honors to them as it lias shown that they are dead square on it. A Vnlunbli! rind. In Portland, at the O. T. Company ,s "old horse'' sale, a few days ago, a gentle man paid !?!0 for a pa"kago which he sup posed to contain something valuable, as it had evidently conic all the way from Italy. On opening it lie was somewhat disappoint ed to find it contained only a marble tdntu etto which, although a very fine piece of work, was not considered by him of much value, as it was of a person unknown Us him. So he shipped it off to a dealer in bric-a-brac, hoping to get back a part of his outlay from its sale. The statuette was seen by Mr. W. Page, who recognized it as that of Col. K. D. Baker, and at once se cured it. It is a most beautiful work of art and a perfect likeness of Col. Baker, and represents him in the act of replying, on the tloor of the Senate, to the speech of Hon. Judah P. nenjumiu, of Louisianu, In favor of secession. Troublo on tlie Jttit-vntioii. The Ccntervillc Home Press ttnys: "It is now learned that inspector Sanndors and Special Agent Wellon, now In charge or the Umatilla- reservation, have made a lequest to the department for troops to en force their orders regarding the vacating of the reservation by white settlers, and to quiet disturbances among the Indians, the majority of whom are angered at the mo nopolization of their lands by the whites. While this latter is not true of individu als who have 'leased' their lands to Canadi an settlers, the head men of the tribes and those who have not thus disposud of their allotcd holdings, are greatly indignant over tlie matter, and in order to thorough ly apply the ounce of prevention a call for troops has been mode by the reservation authorities to quell all disturbance that are likely to arise." A I'ayiiiB I'roperty. A. V. Oliver, superintendent for tho 0. T. Bradley mining company, extensively cngagod in mining operations at Sanger, Union county, passed through tlie city on Tuesday evoning dotined for Portland. The property at Sanger under bin super vision is tho most promising In Eastern Oregon and contributes largely to tho min ing prosperity of that region. , largo force of mon is constantly employed and the mill is kept in operation night and day turning out a golden stream of woalth for the owners. Operations hnvo Ikh'H curried on throughout the winter without cessation ami the present outlook of the group of mines controlled by the company shown the property to he continually gulnliii; iu value as tho work ol development proceed.

Eddie Xowlin. the littlo cight-year-nM son of Thomas Xowlin, who came to Pen dleton about a year ago from Colfax his family, is just recovering from a peculiar diseae, with which he had suffering for eight or nine months. little fellow was very siek during that time, and none of the Pendleton physicians seemed able to make a correct diagnosis of the case. A large and painful swelling on one of hi wrists was the ouly outward svmpton, nnd the usual remedies were ap plied to thl without avail. Recently, one ata time, small lump or knots appeared on portions of the patient's body, and from oach of these is-mcd worm often found j In well water.

At all events, a more peculiar cacseldoin comes under tho observation of j a physician, and it is attracting much at tention from neigbors and trieniK of the ' family. East Oregonian.

A Salem dispatch says: Governor Pcu noycr, referring to the statement that Sen ator Slater considered Ids ren oval from the railroad commission an act of undisguised cruelty and ingratitude, says he doesn't see how Mr. Slater can entertain such a thought. The governor expresses great dislike for ingratitude but says he does not recognize any obligation to Mr. Slater, nor that he involved anv friendship in the re- moval. which he made from tin official rca sou iu which lie feels fully justified.
