The Gazette. Friday, Dec. 31, 1897. An attempt is being made by those greatly interested to bring the two factions of the republican party together down at Portland. It is to be hoped that the effort will prove successful as it means a great deal to the future welfare of the party in Oregon. In times past these two factions have been bitterly opposed to each other and as a result many good men nomi nated on the republican ticket have been defeated. The Gazette heartily endorses the move and hopes that all existing differences may be buried out of sight aud the republican forces of the metrop olis brought together so that they will present a united front to the attacks of the enemy at the com ing elections. We wish our readers, one and all, a happy and prosperous New Year. Secretary Alger is quite seri ously ill at his residence iii Wash ington City. Overwork is given as the cause of his illness. PbObFERITX seems to be strik ing the East, judging from what this paper can learn. Well, we can all stand some more of it The American Monthly Re. view of Reviews for January pub lishes two remarkable letters of Count Tolstoi on the land theories of Henry George. 0v& of these letters was addressed to a Siberian peasant and the other to a German disciple of George. The issue of the New York Tribune of Deo. 22d contains large supplement, entitled "Fifty Years Improvement in Farming." It is a splendid issue and contains a very large amount of interesting and instructive matter relative to the advancement made in farming methods and labor saving machin ery. The Gazette offers its read ers splendid clubbing rates with the Tribune and our farming friends should come in and sub scribe for the two papers which we give at about the price charged for one if taken separately. The farm department of the Tribune is a feature that is maintained throughout the entire year. Portland's Board of Trade has informed Secretary Alger that it stands ready to guarantee the safe delivery of all goods sent to the relief of the Klondike sufferers, Portland is still forging ahead in this matter and will yet be able to capture the bulk of the Alaska trade. THE KILLING OF PETER FRENCH. Aa Apparent Cm of Cold-Blooded Harder roller Particular! About the Traced y. Bubns, Or., Deo. 27. Peter French, the cattle kioe of Eastern Oregon, was assassinated on the afternoon of Sunday, the 26tb, in bis own field near what ia known aa the Hod House ranob, by a man of the name of Edward L. Oliver. French and his men were working some oat tie, when this man Oliver osme into the field where tbey were at work, and Mr. Freooh rode out to where be was, and after talking with him two or three minuted, turned to ride away, when Oliver drew hie pistol, whiob snapped the first time, but tbe aeoond time be shot French just above the right ear, the bullet coming oat in the left eje. Bart French, tbe mardored man's brother, was within 30 feet of him when be fell off bis borge, and picked bim op, bat be never spoke, and only groaned onoe. There weie eight of bis men there at work and allowed ibe assassin to escape. The sheriff has gone from here to tbe soeDe of the murder, and will probably get tbe murderer. His men stretched a tent over him and left bim just where be fell until tbe arrival of thf; coroner to hold an inquest. Tbe sad ooourrenoe casts a deep gloom over tbe entire oommnnity. Horace u. hurt, third vice president of the Chicago & North western, has been selected for the presidency of tbe Union Pacific Mr. Burt is a western man of much experience in railroading and his appointment appears to give great satisfaction to men in railroad circles. The belief of Chairman Dingley and the officials of the treasury department that tbe new revenue law is going to be sufficient to meet the expenditures or the govern ment is reinforced by similar ex pressions on the part of the senate finance committee, whose mem bers helped to frame the law. The vigorous efforts of the republicans to reduce expenditures all along the line, coupled with the rapid increase ic revenues under the new law, make it apparent that there is going to be no necessity for fur ther legislation on that subject In this session of congress and prob ably not for many years to come, The season for the spring trade will Boon open up. Now is a good time for Heppner merchants and tradesmen to get before the people in a substantial way. The Gazette is the leading advertising medium of the county and our rates are reasonable, considering the service rendered. Peter Frenob was president of tbe Freuoh OIrnn Live Stork Co., which owns tbousKcds of acres of land in Har ney county, one ranch alone, on Blitzen river, being forty-five miles long, and extending from tbe month of Blitzen river to its sou roe in tbe Stein moun tains. The deceased was divorced from his wife, who was a daughter of tbe late Dr. Glenn, of California, who was also killed, and has one obild, a son about 10 years of ape. The remains were shipped to Bed Bluff, Cel., tbe borne of the mur dered man's mother. The death of Frenoh was not altogether a surprise to residents of that section, as be had been red upon a number of times when be least expected trouble. The slayer has been attested nnd lodged in tbe Harney ooanty jail at Burns. Portland's merchants report tbe most profitable Christmas business ia years, if not in tbe his tory of the city. Indeed, the tes timony all along the lino, so far as heard from, is that throughout tbe active buying season of Dcoembor "people had plouty of money, and were cheerful in spending it" While it may be feared that ex penditures were not at all times entirely judicious, and that in very many instances they trenched upon extravagance, it is gratify ing to note the return of the cheer ful spirit which has bo long been overshadowed by the stalkiug specter of hard times. Oregonian. Portland's police have been ordered to stop all Salvation Army meetings on the streets of that city. As the worship of these people is inoffensive and does not disturb anybody, it would seem that this order from Portland's police headquarters is pretty much out of place. Freight cars made of steel in Bteadof wood are a lata departure in railroading. Eustern companies are already placing large orders for tbe new style of cars and tbey are sam to possoris many superior qualities in the way of strength durability and increased light noes and carrying capacity. Thn Discovery of the Day. Ang. J. Bogel, tbe leading druggist of Sbreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's New Discovery is tbe only tbing tbat cures my ooogfc, and it is tbe best seller I have." J. F. Campbell, merchant of Safford, Ariz., writes: "Dr. King's New Disoovery is all tbat is olaimed for it; it never fails, and is a sureiours for con sumption, coughs and oolds. I oannot say enough for its merits." Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds is not sn experiment. It baa been tried tor a quarter of a century and today stands at tbe bead.

A Few of tbe ralthfnl After the Places Getting Heady for the Fray. It la expected that tbe successor to Hon. Hen ry Blackman, present collector ot internal reve nue for Oregon, Washington and Alaska, wiU be chosen early in tbe coming- year, though it li not supposed that Mr. Blackman will be asked to atep down and out until bit term of (our yean la ended. ; Aa yet Mr. Blackman baa received no word from Washington asking for bit resignation, but thia waa expected. It ia tbe policy of the incoming administration to allow present Incumbents who are faithful in the performance of their dutiea to aerve out their respective terms. Mr. Cleveland followed thia plan and one good turn deaervea another. Thoae who ought to know have not changed their mlnda as to Mr. Blackman'a successor. Dave Dunne will win it in a walk. Mr. Black, a collector of customs, seems to have a "cinch" on bis place. He will doubt less be displaced, however, by a republican in a short time. Tbe appointment of John Fox as collector of customs at Astoria is expected very aoon' John'a friends have met all objections to his candidacy. Aa the time approaches for a change in The Dalles land office, some interest is being mani fested in that direction. The Gazette has heard mentioned in connection with the regtstership the names of Hon. John Mlchell, Jay P. Lucas, Capt. John W. Lewis, and E. M. Bhutt, formerly of Antelope, but now a resident of Heppner. Mr. Bhutt was considered a very prominent candidate, down in Wasco county where he is much appreciated as a hardworking republi can, but Mr. Shutt decided for business reasons to withdraw from tbe contest when he came to Heppner. All are good men and it would take a prophet to pick out the winner. Hon. W. H. H Dufur and "Farmer" Cooper seem to be the leading candidates for receiver of The Dalles land office. But there are others in the field and the contest will be very warm. The Corbett case ia attracting very little at tention in Oregon at present for the reaaon that nothing ia being done at Washington. It ia a foregone conclusion that Mr. Corbett will not be seated. Hi success would establish a dangerous precedent, and it is this more than anything else which has decided Mr. Corbett's case. It ia to be regretted that one who haa aerved hla state so well ahould, in hia old days' become tbe dupe of designing politicians. Mr' Corbett ia deserving of a better fate. LITERARY NOT58. A New Year s Gift Heralded. Tbe measureless popularity of Hob tet ter's 8tomaob Bitters haa been tbe growth of more than a third ot a oen tnry. As in tbe. past, the coming new year wilt be ushered in by the appear anoe of a fresb-almanao, clearly setting forth tbe nature, uses and operation of this medicine of world wide feme. It is well worth perusal. Absolute aoouraoy in tbe astronomical calculations BDd calendar will, as before, be valuable cbaraoteristios, while tbe reading matter will inolude statistios, bnmor and gener al information, accompanied by admir ably exeouted illustrations. Tbe alma nao is issued from the publishing depart ment ot tbe Hostetter company at Pittsburg, and will be printed on tbeir presses in English, German, Frenob, Welsh, Norwegian. Swedish. Holland. uonemian ana Spanish. AH druggists and oounlry dealers furnish it without cost. MoCIure's Magazine for January yields perhaps its first attractions in its piotnrea. As an example ot general ex cellence in magBzine illustration it is, indeed, an extraordinary number. Every picture but one a beautiful re production of Borne-Jones' painting "Vespertina Quies" has relation to tbe reading-matter is strictly illustrative, in other words; but snob is the intrinsio interest of them and the vividness of their execution, one derives from simply running through tbe number and look ing at them tbat mental satisfaction which is usually to be bad only from reading. Tbey are, in other words, each and all, a good story in themselves. Bnt then this is what tbe.'piotures natur ally would be in MoCInie's, which lives to the rule of never failing, whatever else happens, to tell a good story. In this particular number the good story is told also in most of tbe articles not merely in those whioh are stories by oonfession, but in tbe others as well For example, Mr. Hamblen's acoount of his own personal experienos as a rail road brakemao, with its almost daily episodes of daring and disaster, is as ab sorbing as any of tbe Cot ion. No less is true of Mr. Dana's chapter of reoolleo tioos of life in tbe trenobes at Vicks- burg, with its olose, living view of Grant, Sherman, aid tbe otber generals there. Cy Warman's aocount of his so journ at Karlsbad is a bit of humorous, attractive description; Robert Barr's obaraoter sketch of Mark Twain, from bis own intimate acquaintance, offers a distinctly new view of tbe great bnmor is t; and Norman Hapgood's study of Boutet, de Monvel, with tbe fine repro duotions from De Monvel's work, gives one an exoellent idea of tbe leading artist of our time in tbe portrayal of ohildren. The notion of tbe number consists of tbe seoocd installment of Anthony Hope's New Zenda novel and several good short stories. Tbe 8. 8. McOlure Co., Ne York City. SHERIFFS SALE.

Oar government has believed for a loner while tbat we ongbt to bave a naval and coaling station in tbe Paoifin ; and Pearl harbor, wbioh bas been granted to ns by Hawaii, ia by far tbe best available looation. If, now, we should reject the Hawaiian over tares for annexation, there is no resson why ths Hawaiian government should not look to England, And there i every reason why tbe acquisition of Hawaii would be highly gratifying to tbe energetic statesmen who are losing no opportunity to link together more firmly those imperial possessions upon which tbe son never sets. The Hawaiian islands lie in tbe line of desired cable communication between Vancouver and Australia, and In the line ot transit be tween Hong Kong and the American isthmus. If England shonld aoqnire Hawaii upon onr refusal to do so, there would seem to be no possible reason by we should insist upon the retention of Pearl harbor; and England wonld unquestionably proceed to make Hawaii tbe best fortified naval station in the world. On oar part, if we annexed tbe islands, we shonld not need to be In any haste about fortifications. The Amerl can poiioy is so notably a paoino one that oar ownership of Hawaii would be universally acquiesced in. It ia almost inconceivable that we should ever have to fight to retain a control onoe assumed. Furthermore, tbe Amer can oontrol of Hawaii ia in some sense a duty tbat this oonutry owes Japan and China. Those anoient Oriental sttaa are seriously menaoed by ths aggressive attitude ot ths land-grabbing European powers; and it England or Gen should ottaio Hawaii, tbe sort ot pi f al development of tbe Oriental ns whiob Is most to be desired by us bs further endangered.
