The Gazette. Thursday, Nov. 16, 1899. The Gazette editor listened to & discussion of the Leda of a sewer age system for oar Jittle city by several bnsineas men recently. This id a subject that should a. considered by alL Id the his tory of all tones of this size a epidemic of disease baa been the coiiaeqieuOTof this neglect The Eijonty of oar eitize&s are here with a permanent intention and it is their daty to unite in instituting a thorough sewerage system that j tracts by Mrs. Brown's screams prob we may diKje of the?W pestilence I ably prevented a fiendish murder. Brown brc-e JiDff cesspools. The elections held- in twelve states on Taesday, the result of which was, io most instances, aa' well aa being a victory for the re-1 publicans, a significant endorse ment of all that goes along with republican policies, and especially is this so when the business inter eitta of the sections of our union are taken into account Tbe re sults plainly demonstrate that the people vote in such a way as to strengthen themselves financially, and indeed, a careful perusal of the election returns can but con vince one that the gTeat masses have said to themselves that they are prosperous, and why change from what is certain to a policy which promises much, but pro duces little. The ballots seem to have csaid that the nation is en gaged in subduing an insurrection, and be it right or wrong, we are with oar country. Along this line dissatisfaction prevails more with tbe people, and as no faith is to be pinned to thse same dema gogues as regards good business policies, certainly their ideas re garding tbe conduct of the war is equally visionary. Lessons earned at the expense of being hungry generally make a lasting itnpres fci ju, and so long as the country is prosperous and all who so desire are enabled tT find profitable em ployment, the policies which bring about tb'se conditions are emphat ically r-rdorsed. The experience of a few j ears ag') apparently im-prosif-d the people, and from all appearing the impression will be lasting. Oregon Mist It was anticipated that the J'.ocrs would achieve the firnt Hura-.ws of the war in South Africa, fur several reasons. They wi-re iiurnuically superior to the Uritish, they occnpieil all the best vantage points, and they wore ready to htrike. Vhr:u the war broke out the great bulk of the Uritihh army was iu England oi o:i the sei in transports, and there was only a "thin red line' on the Transvaal frontiers. Military ex ports here and abroad expected to see this line driven back and all the liritish lositions and many of the towns temporarily abandoned to the I'oers. It was a eorious question whether Kimberley ould bo hold. The "thin rod line" has boon foroed buck, but only after desporato fighting, and the inflic tion of sovero punishment ou the Boors, who lost thoir expected initial advantago. Tho British have gained the time they wanted. The army corps from England is arriving and will soon reiufoice the troopa at the front, and every day will add to the British htrength, while there can hardly be any accession to the ranks of the IioerB, who have every avail able man in service. British operations thus far have been en tirely on the defensive, and could not be otherwise. Tho obvious plan was to ruaiutain their ground ns long as possible until Gen. Buller and his reinforcements should asrive, when offensive operations would bo begun. Tho war thus fir is therefore a pro limiimry to the nml fighting, which will begin "wlii'ii the liritish move forward to assail tho Boer strong holds Tlicu there will Im mourn, ing in thouHHnds of households in Blitieh land and liner laud. ewni k Advertiser.

Rbea, a promi nent stockman of that portion of tbe state, last evening at the P, rkins. The warm raiLs of Auu-t, be gays, started tbe volunteer wbent ao l the baocbgrsss to growing even out on Baud danes bordering 00 the Cjlambis, aod now a velvety green geets the eye everywhere. Evn snaooir-fallowad land, wbnb was plo wud, ready for full sowing is covered wish a growth of wheat six inches high , tbongb no grain had ben sown 03 it at all. In tbe stubble fields tbe green wheal is showing each a vigorous growth that farmers are feariug that it will "joint" this fdll, B) are Inviting tbe sbeepraisers to tarn their Qjcksia and eat it down. Usually, at this tiun of year, Mr. Rhen's shriep are not allowed to come within even snHling dietance of a wheat field, and he looks upon present ootditiuns as psolury happy for tbe sheepmen. Mr. Rhea baa been miming sheep In Eastern Oregon for tbe past 20 years, and be thinks Morrow 0 mnty is carry ing as many of tbe wooly animals now us at aoy time daring tint period, I bough farmers are becoming mire numerous eaob aocaeeding year, and free government range Is well nigb a thing of Ibe past. He bdieves that sbeepraisers most hereafter own the land tbeir stock runs on, and tbat smaller flocks will be tbe rale, "several years ago," be said, "we diln't think a band of sheep would pay to bard aalnss it contained from 2500 to 3KM), bat now 1200 to 1500 if considered a goodly fl ok, aod these can be mived about tbe eoootry without eating all the neigh boring pastures out. Tbe sbtep do better io smaller bnnobea, an i a greiter percentage of lambs can be raised, bile tbs wool clip of a givm number of abep will be consider 'ably in creased." In reference to the trouble of Morrow county sheepman, whose fl loks summer ia tbs Blue mountains of Grant oouoty, Mr. Rhea thinks tbi tirai will so in come when sheep must bs kept doner bomi in summer, several hundred ahtep were shot aod killed last summer by farmers aod stockmen about tbe north fork of tbs John Day river, and aboot tbe bise of Greenhorn mountain, anl now tbe miners bava begun to add their protests against sheep roaming Grant oonnty bills, aa the little animals are supposed to destroy the supply ditohes of tbe various plaoer mines. With all Qraut oouoty farmers, stick men and miners united against the tnvieiooof Mrrow county sheep, he thinks niitlois will get loo troublesome and riiky.
