City and County Official Paper.

JUUTOlUAI, NOTK8.
Young Abraham Lincoln died in
London last Wcilcnsday.
Tin: Cleveland Plain Dcalor truthful
ly says: "The great central fignro in
national politics to-day is Orover
Cleveland."
Tin: Kcpublican State Central Com
mittco met in I'ortland on Wcdcnsday,
and designated Portland, April lGth,
at 11 a. in. as tho timo and place to
nominate a full Stato ticket. The
convention will consist of 218 delegates.
It is recommended that primaries be
held on Saturday, April fith and county
conventions on April 9th.
Tm: La Grande Journal peacefully
expired last week. A cbuplo of
heartless tailors were the attending
physicians and killed tho patient with
a dosu of garnishee. Tho dudes that
tried to run it havo found out that two
papers cannot be made to pay in a
town not largo enough to support one.
They will grow wiser as they grow
older.
Tiiuiti: is some talk of a convention
of democratic editors to be held at
Portland about tho 20th of this month
to discuss tho bituations that arc liable
to assume shapo during tho campaign.
AVu havo no doubt such a meeting
would iesult in much good and be a
decided benefit to the party, as tho
newspapers are leading factors in
educating tho peoplo and moulding
public opinion on all important
questions.
So.mktimi: ago Postmaster General
Wannamaker sent us a four-lino ad
concerning his rcady-mado clothing, or
something of that sort, which we
published according to directions.
Our charge for tho samo was one
dollar, but Hrothor Wannamakor fails
to remit, although wo havo sont the
bill to him twico. John is hereby
uotilied that unless ho produces that
dollar p. d. (. wo will paralyze him in
our next issue.
Til ism: is an alleged Judge in
Jackson county, by tho name of L.
It. Webster, who should oinmigrato to
Jtutsia at his earliest convenience, as
the met hods of that country would ex
actly suit his taste and the Orcgonians
havo no earthly uso for him. Ho
recently lined and imprisoned thoeditor
of tho Valley lleconl for expressing
his opinion of the way public ollices
wero conducted inthocounty. Webster
is certainly tho most collossal ilguro of
nrrogin ce, stupidity, vindietiveness
and meanness to bo found in tho state.
Tin: Union Stato Central Cemmittco
has issued a call for a state convention
of that party to meet in Portland
Wodcnsday, April 1), at 10 a. in. to
adopt a stato platform and nominate
state olllcors to bo voted for at tho
next stato election. It is recom
mended that county conventions meet
Wednesday, March 2'.) at 1 p. m. to
elect delegates. Each county will bo
allowed fi delegates for each senator
and ruprosunlativu to which it may be
entitled. Tho Stato Union party is a
consolidation of tho Prohibition Labor
and other parties except tho Democratic
juid 1'opublicau.
HUNT AND HIS UAII.llOADK.
At a mass meeting of tho citizins of
Poitland hold few days ago it was
decided to accept tho proposition of
G. W. Hunt to extend his system of
railways into that city on tho condition
that tho citi7.ons tako !f2,000.000 in
bonds of tho road.
Mayor Van Do La.shmult was chosen
chairman, and in his long addross
stated the object of the meeting. In
explaining I hint's proposition, tho
mayor said: "Tho distanco from his
present terminus, Hunt'H Junction, to
Portland is about 220 miles, and ho
proposes to bond for $52,000 per milo,
or $1)11,000,000 for 220 miles and ho
asks Portland to subscribe $2,000,000,
of this sum. These bonds aro to bo
first mortgago bonds and aro to draw
six per cent interest payable somi-annu-ally.
Ho iato commonco building at
tho Portland end, and for every ton
inUes of const ructod road $100,000 ol tho
bonds aro to bo issued, which will havo
to bo paid for by subscribers. Tho
head ollicers of tho road aro to bo at
I'ortland."
Mr. Hunt Mated ho expected to
build tho toad tho prct-out reason and
to haul into Portland a good Muuo of
tho wheat. In building the road, ho
Enid, ho should follow that louto which
was for the best interest of the road and
that this would of necessity, be the best
possible route for the interests of Port
land. Mr. Hunt has for a long time had
his eye on Gray's Harbor as a terminal
print for his system of railroads, but
has aeked subscribers of the towns in
the work, Ho has at last succeeded.
A telegram from 1'acoma, of the Gth
inst.says: "It was learned late to-night
that tho necessary subsidies having
been granted him, George W. Hunt
has contracted with tho Gray's Harbor
Company, of Gray's Harbor, to con
struct a standard gauge railroad from
deep water at Gray's Harbor, to a
juction with tho North Pacific railroad
at a point near Ccntralia. Mr. Hunt
contracts to have the road ready for
operation within eighteen months. Tho
contract was filed lato this afternoon
in the auditor's office at Monlesano.
Of tho subsidies advanced the Gray's
Harbor people give $000,000;
Aberdeen, $13,000 ; Montesano, $05,000,
and Ccntralia $00,000, making a total
of $755,000."
Uy tho successful consummation of
his desires in this particular regards it
would seem that Mr. Hunt has more
plainly shown his hand with regard to
his designs in tho way of securing a
scacoast terminal for his as yet dis
jointed Eastern line of road than he
has ever done before, with a i-cacoast
terminal already secured at Gray's
Harbor, it is but natural to picsume
that he will now push his Western
extension toward L'entrana ana a junc
tion with the road ho has juM boon
subsidized to build. His lino to the
sea, onco in operation, would prove
undoubtedly a formidable competitor,
to tho Northern Pacific, and if, as ho
proposes, it. reached deep water by way
of tho Columbia river and thence
verged oil' at Ccntralia and joined tho
Gray's Harbor line, it would compote
for tho business tho Union Pacific
has calculated its proposed northern
extension would enjoy from Portland
to tho Sound.
To tho people of Union County,
these movement!! of Mr. Hunt are
satisfactory. It give us an outlet to
various seaport cities and tho compe
tition between these and the ett'ect of
activo railroad competition cannot but
be greatly to our advantage.
Tin: koai ritAims.
On tho 18th of February last Judge
Sawyer, a corporation Judge of tho U.
S. Circuit Court, District of Oregon,
delivered his opinion in tho cates
brought by the United States to declare
forfeited tho lands of tho Dalles Mili
tary Koad Co., and of tho Oregon Cen
tral Military Koad Co., The bill urged
by Grover Cleveland to forfeit these
lands outright dillorcd from the ono
introduced and passed by Senator
Dolpli, which last preserved the rights
of innoeent(?) third purchasers of those
lands. Of courso these lands are all in
the name of third purchasers now, and
this is Dolph's loop-hole by which tho
peoplo lost theso lands.
Sawyer decides that tho suit of tho
U. S. bo dismissed, and that tho title
of the corporations to the lauds in
controversy is porfeet. Tho peoplo are
left holding the bag. Now tho average
small fry republicans are applauding
such fraud with open mouth.
It is a perfect shame that men who
aro elected by tho voles of many of the
honest farmers who have made homes
on these lauds, and who had confidence
in tho honesty of their ropubliean office-holders,
to be thus treated by Dolph
and other corporation ollicers. But it
seems that poor people- can oxpoot no
roliof, as when G rover Clevuland tried
to havo congress foifeit thou lands to
tho settlers our republican roprsenta
lives, headed by "our friond(?) Dolph'
presented ami worked through a bill
forfeiting thuso lauds to these heartless
corporations; and now a good many of
our ranchers will havo to either pay
these people for tho homos thoy havo
mado or move oil" on short notice.
Malheur Gazette.
a itKMdii ri:o ltmroi:.
Tho editor of tho linker City Hindu
has had a kind of religious awakening,
as it weie, and has heon worrying over
some statistics that have comu to his
notice. Ho says:
A visionary statistician has figured
out that since the creation of Adam
there has been 10.1,000,000,000 of peoplo
who have lived and died and that of
that number there are 175,000.000.000
of souls in hell and only 18,000,000,000
in heaven. This statistician might
havo gone still further and told us how
theso happy and unhappy souls
mauago to pass away their eternity.
His statement has left us in a very un
satisfactory frame of mind.
Tho biother htu, evidently, not
attended ohuroh as often in ho ahuuld
or ho would know that tin 1 8,000.000,
(XX). in honwn bpend their dot nit; in
playing on harp ami inui hosanuu
( while the 175,009,000,000, in bell pass
j the time in weeping, wailing and gnash
ing their teeth. This arrangement of
things may not appear satisfactory at
the first glance, but if our brother
editor will stop and reflect a moment
i he will perceive that it is all right.
For instance: When all the editors
arrive in heaven, which they aro euro
to do in the long run, you find yourself
comfortably located, get your musical
inslrpmont tuned up and commence
your song; you look around at tho
gentleman on your light who is drown
ing your voice with his glad rejoicing,
and find that ho is a delinquent sub
scriber who owes you $3,05 on your
weekly edition, besides a ballancc due
on a limber culture notice which you
published for nine consecutive weeks
and made affidavit to; you get howling
mad and very justly conclude that
things aro not evened up right. Don't
you? Well, witii the present arrange
ment you will not be troubled in that
manner. The delinquent subscriber
will be among the knashers. If the
editor of the Blade will look at the
situation in the proper light he will
find that there is lots of comfort in it.
