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.

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.

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."

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

Is able to be up and around and play like
any ordinary child, while the effects of his
disease are fast disappcrlng. Dr. E. II.
' Pugsley, the physician who is now attend
ing him, thinks that the worms were swal
