PREPARED FOR SPRING TRADE.
"We take pride in presenting to
our readers in this issue a news
paper devoted alone to the businets
institutions of our town, and feel
that our past efforts in their behalf
has been appreciated. Every en
terprising concern is represented
in our advertising columns in Buch
a manner that no one can mistake
their ability to meet the demands
of their customers.
Just as we go to press we are
startled with the information that
a party of railroad men reached
lone yesterday, having come in
over a proposed new roadbed for
the Heppner branch of the 0. R &
N. As we understand it, the main
line will swing off 45 miles above
the Junction, coming through to
lone, thence to Lexington and then
out through the HardmaD country,
in order to avoid the expense of
keeping the road clear of sand be
tween lone and the Junction. We
hope to have conclusive informa
tion by next issue.
There was a bill passed for
Clackamas county, relieving the
sheriff of that county of the power,
granted all other sheriffs by law, of
designating the paper in which the
delinquent tax list shall be pub
lished, and putting this power in
the hands of the newly created
separate board of commissioners.
The law regarding this point has
been well established, and this
special bill is only another evi
dence of the fact. Baker City lie
publican. Senator Frye has offered an
amendment to the sundry civil bill
authorizing the payment of $100,
000 a year for twenty years by the
government for the use of a Pacific
cablo, from home poiut in the
Unitud Stale to China aud Japan,
via llaw iii, Guam aud the Philip
pines, providing that the cible be
in working order to Honolulu by
July 1, 1900, aud to Manila by Jan
uary 1, 1001, and that messages of
the Uui!ed States government be
carried fiee forever.
No ONE was surprised, after the
caual bill was ruled off the Bnndry
civil bill on a point of order, to see
the item appropriating $20,000,000
to carry out the terms of the treaty
of peace with Spain go the same
road. But the money will bo paid.
Representative Cannon has intro
duced a bill making the appropria
tion, which will go through all
right. The attempt of Represent'
ative Gillett, of Massachusetts, to
mix up the appropriation aud the
McEuery resolution, adopted by
the senate last week, will do no
harm, as the bill will never be
heard of again.
To A VERY groat extent the grand
jury system is abolished in Oregon
and is, to all intents aud purposes,
a thing of the past, as the result of
the passage of a law at the recent
session of the legislative assombly,
which provides for criminal pros,
ecutions on information made by
the district attorney. This law
does not abolish the grand jury en
tirely, as it provides that the circuit
court may, in case it is deemed ad
visable, convene a grand jury
The bill was introduced in the
house by Mr. Moody, on January
11th, aud was known as U. B. No.
15; it passed the house on January
81st, and the senate on February
17th, and on the Bame date was
sent to the governor, and by him
approved.
Senators are determined that
they shall not be charged with re
sponsibility for the failure of Nioa-
raugua caual legislation at this
session. The house having, by a
majority vote, sustained the ruling
of its presiding oilioer, that the
canal bill was out of order as an
amend meut to the sundry civil
bill, and it being o-rtaiu that no
time can be secured in the house
for consideration of the Hepburn
caual bill, which was made a sub
stitute for the Morgan bill and re
ported to the house, the senators
propose giving the house another
opportunity to act upou canal leg
islation that cannot be blocked by
poiut of order, by putting the Hep
burn caual bill in the rivers and
harbors bill. The bill so amended
has already been reported to the
senate, aud there is no doubt that
it will pa38 that 1ndy

month!
In regard to water, Is there any small streams
or riverfl in this vicinity? If so, what kind of
