A NICK STATU Or A 1'1'AIKS.
The following extract fmm the load
ing republican paper of Portland shows
the manner in which our public lands
the heritage of the poor man are
being wrested from the government by
organized bands of perjurers and
thieves:
A conspiracy to rob the Oregon and
Washington public of the finest limber
land in the northwest has been formed
by eastern capitalists, and unload meas
ures are taken to checkmate the
thieves, they will bo successful in their
bold name. Last Monday
t wen I y- live
mm arrived in Portland under wages
1 . i ...... i .......
from a syndicate, lo nrc-emul govern
inent timber landH. and for a small
consideration turn the property over
to their employers, in the manner
heretofore done by a well known Port
land capitalist. The late arrivals are
the last of three hundred, who pre
ceded them, engaged by the name par
tics. Should the robbers continue, it
will not be long before the finest tim
ber in this section is in the hands of n
monopoly.
Wo doubt not that this statement is
true in every respect, and do not won
der at it. The only wonder we feel in
reviewing tlie matter is at the hypoc
risy displayed by that journal in howl
ing about a state of allairs that it has
done every thing in its power to bring
about. When that honest, unbending
democratic official, A. .1. Sparks, wu
commissioner of the general land of
fice, ho saw how matters stood, and in
his endeavors to check such wholesale
robbery, incurred tho enmity of every
rascal in tho west, and chief among
them was this same blatant windb.ig
that is now howling so loudly for some
thing to bo done. Tho same things
have been done and nro being done in
Union county, and in bvcry other coun
ty in the west, although on a smaller
scale. What are we going to do about
it? Where is the official that will daro
to lift his voice against it? What can
bo expected from our present rulers who
were placed in power by means of the
money furnished by these monopolies
and trusts, which now expect to got in
their work unmolested? Wo protested
against it last June, when our protest
would have been ollectual if seconded
by a majority of tho people, but it
wasn't seconded. Now wo shall pro
test no more. The people can rulo the
country whenever they got ready to do
so. In the meantime let monopolies
grow and flourish ; let trusts combine
and organized thieves delight in plun
der; let misrule run rampant, and
wealthy knaves grow fat and imolent,
whilo hunger knaws at tho vitals of
the poor man's children. It will only
hasten tho time when tho masses will
acquire wisdom and assort their God
given preiogalives.

On SaturJav
last, Newt. Olson, ft
native of Copenhagen, Denmark, a
sheep herder in tlie employ of Messrs.
Tombleson & Brooko At Magpie, some
six miles east of town, in Baker coun
ty, after a protracted drunken spree of
two weeks or more in this place, was
induced by Mr. Brooke to return to
camp. Tie was laboring on the verge
of delirium tremens when he went
away, and on tho next day, whilo alone
in camp, procured a gun and deliber
ately killed himself. Olson, in conver
sation with tho writer a few days be
fore his death, maintained that "death
was an eternal sleep," ignoring a judg
ment or future resurrection, hence
how easy it was for this poor, blind,
deludod mortal to launch himself into
the valley of the shadow beyond with
out fear of having to answer for tho
crime, of self-murder. Such doctrino
almost invariably (with stiong drink
as n concomitant usually) lends to a
bad termination. Mr. Olson was a
quiet, peaceful, honest and upright citi
zen, and his tragic end can be traced
to a falso doctrino together with a dis
eased brain, Raker county authori
ties hold an inquest, and buried the
remains. Ajax.
