A Salim dispatch eays: There is a
well-defined feeling here tonight that
Harry Grady, of Pendleton, has the
inside traok on the United States mar
ahalsbip; that George Noland will be
diatriot attorney ; T. P. Blaok, collector
t oustoms; Henry Blaokman, colleotor
internal revenue, and Pat Powers, ap
praiser. Poetland got share ot the recent
blizzard, enow falling to the depth of six
inches. The storm is said to have com
menced 1,000 miles off the Washington
coast, and ita approach was wholly unex
pected. Several coasting accidents are
reported and the street car linee were in
terfered with to some extent, but by dil
igence the blaokade was raised.
Bona leading republicans of high stand
ing view askance Qeer'a bill to make the
railroad commissioners elective. The
result will be, they say, to ring rairoad
oompanies into the state conventions and
eventually to the polls with money to de
feat a candidate inimioal to them, says a
Salem dispatch to the Oregmian. Mot
half so apt to corrupt the viiole people
as a legislature. Qeer's bill is not in the
interest of the "short card" politicians,
that's the tronble.
Tub president hsa raised somewhat of
a furore in the ranks ot the republicans
by nominating as successor to Justice
Lamar, Judge Howell Edmunds Jackson,
ot Tennessee. Judge Jaokson is a dem
ocrat of the old school, lienoe the objec
tion. It ia said, however, that he stands
high as a judge, and that the president's
selection waa brought about by the threat
that the republicans in the senate would
ot confirm the nomination of a repub
lican, and as he desired to make the nom
ination during his term of ofBoe, conclud
d that ths seleotion of a demoorat would
be acceptable to the senate's democratic
members, and with the aid ot a few
republicans, he would be confirmed.
President Harrison is strongly condemn

Thb correspondence of our Sand hol
low friend on the subject of assessments
taxation and the repeal of the mortgage
tax law, aa expressed in the bill now be
fore the Oregon legislature, is to the
point. And doubtless the new law, if
pained, will, tor a time, show up a tew
inconsistencies and evils. But tbey will
be small in proportion to those existing
under the old laws, and, in time, will
pass away. We have bo objections to
the enforcement ot the new law being
deferred one year, but probably at that
time very many people whom it would
affect unjustly would be no better pre
pared for the new system ot assessments
and tsxation than now, tor very many
have debts standing against them that
will not be due then. The repeal ot the
mortgage tax law would relieve immedi
ately those who pay directly the taxes of
the leader, but those who are doing so in
the form of Interest will, of course, have
to pay the same old rate till the debts

ANOTHER BARGAIN.
Good, deeded ranch, 320 acres, best stock ranch in Morrow county, cheap and on

deed if suoh a law could be put into eie

Your correspondent from this diatriot

Harry takes the cake.
The past fonr davs have been the odd
est we have experienced in Oregon, and
the wiud blowiug at the rate or 40 miles
an hour, reminded one ot an Eaatern
blizzard. Hay is plentiful and stock do
ing well, so the storm has no terrors for
the stockman. The Eouo stage bas been
delayed, owing to bad roads, and has lost
a ronudtrip. Billie Andrews, the driver,
had his feet and fingers frozen between
Heppner aud Alpine last Tuesday morn
ing. We notice that the press of our slate
are a unit ia advuoating the repeal of the
mortgage tax law aud the indebtedness
clause. If tbe bill passes, as no doubt it
will, should it be eutoroed immediately r
In two months the aesessors will be at
work, and as all notes and mortgages
have been drawn np with the understand
ing that tbe lender is to pay all taxes
thereon, should the law take effect at
once the borrower will baye to pay the
lender's tax for the ensuing year. Given
another year, money can be bad cheaper
and eaoh party will know what he is ex
peoted to do, but to assess under the pro
posed law this spring, would, in our opin
ion, be an injustice to the borrower.

1 Train. H07 Who Waa a MlKhty Ooed
Judge of Human Nature.
The experienced train boy, says the
Chicago Horald, was apparently giving
instructions to a youth whom he was
breaking in as an assistant.
In the seat directly in front of the
two sat Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Ker
punk, of Georgeson's Cross Roads. It
was their first trip away from home.
"You can goner'ly toll by their looks,"
said the peanut boy, oracularly,"wheth
er it's goin' to pay to try to come any
little game over 'em or not. See that
chap half way between here an' the
other end of the car? Well, you could
sell that man a dime novel for a dollar
and a half and ropo him in on the dollar-ln-the-box
trick just as easy as look at
him. You'd be wastin' your time.
though, to try and play any tricks on
suoh people as these two in front of us.
They're old travelers. No use to show
them any thing but what's bang up gen
uine an' cheap. If you've got any thing
that's fresh an' wuth the monoy, them
folks is the kind of customers to take
'em to tho first thing. Snide goods
won't go down with such customers as
them, I tell you. Well, I must work the
train now. Remember what I've told
you."
"That boy is a mighty good judge of
human nature, Jose, isn't he?" said
Harrison to his wifo, after the exper
ienced peanut boy had gone into the for
ward car to get his basket. "He thought
he wasn't talking loud enough for us to
hear but I've got pretty sharp cars. 1
heard every blamod word he said. Well,
it's a fact, Jose," ho added, "it wouldn't
be much use to try any of his little
tricks on mo. I've got my eye toeth all
jut. Here ho comes. If he'a got any
thing worth buying he'll come straight
to us. You see if ho doosn't."
And before the peanut boy was done
with Mr. Harrison Kcrpunk he had sold
him half a dozen prizo packages, five
boxes of list year's maple caramels, a
lozen sour oranges, three tn-cnty-five-;ent
books for half a dollar each, un
loaded his entire stock of moldy Dgs on
him, and cleaned him out of a two dol
lar bill on an innocent little trick with
a pill-box and a gold coin.
"Jose," said Harrison, after ho had sat
looking out of tho window for about flvo
miles, "durned if don't begin to think
he said all that to the othor boy on pur
pose for me to hear it!"
