ON THE JOHN DAY.
Surveyor J. J. McGeo returned to
Heppner Monday after a five-week's trip
through the John Day country. He
found that section in most excellent con
dition, with General' Prosperity In full
command, aid good prices and ready
sale for sheep.
Mr. McGee found that as the John
Day country settled up it began to give
birth to new towns. He laid out the
town of Spray on the beautiful Hogan
bottom, where the junipers come down
to the water's edge and the landicape
is lovely. The town's owner is J. F.
Spray, formerly a business man of
Heppner, and its present population,
counting men women and children and
cats and dogs and sagetix would not fill
one of the hotel busses that will run on
its streets hereafter. But it has the
whole of the U. 8. and Urup to draw on,
and it aspires to be the capital of
Wheeler county, as do a'so Twicken
ham, Mitchell, Shoofly and Fossil.
Spray is two miles below the mouth of
Haystack, on the main John Day.
Mr. McGee also resurveyed the town
site of Monument, which is mostly
owned by Mrs. Pry Wilson. Monument
is becoming quite a thriving village.
Mr. McGee will soon return to the John
Day and survey irrigating ditches above
Spray.

inch of land will be deeded and doubled

PRESS COMMENT.
A Slap in the Face. The Ore
gonian has done a grave wrong
both to the friends of Senator Mc
Bride and to those of Mr. Moody.
Mr. McBride's friends frankly
conceded a solid Wasco county
delegation to Mr. Moody. They
manifested uo desire whatever, at
any time, to thwart the wishes of
Mr. Moody's friends. The latter
assure The Chronicle that they
made it a point to commit no act
nor deed that could be justly con
strued as unfriendly to Mr. Mc
Bride. They were in no sense an
tagonizing the interests of Mr.
McBride. Their single purpose
was the nomination of Mr. Moody.
The primaries passed without op
position. The Oregonian corre
spondent sent to his paper a plain,
truthful unvarnished statement of
the result. The Oregonian edited
the dispatch and added the follow
ing clause: "The McBride influ
ence failed utterly to materialize."
This was not in the original, which
we have seen. The result is that
the friends of Mr. McBride con
sider they have been slapped in
the face. But the Oregonian did
it and is wholly responsible for an
act that is regretted here on all
hands. The Oregonian has the
faculty of raising more hell in a
minute than it can down in a
century. Let it fight McBride if
it wants to, but let it not compro
mise others who desire peace.
The Dalles Chronicle.
Justice for Col. Bbyan. If the
crime of '73 still cries unavenged
to heaven; if the gold standard is
still a crown of thorns for labor
and a cross of gold on which it is
proposed to orucify mankind, if 16
to 1 is the only thing that can save
us from financial ruin and indus
trial slavery, what else can the
Col. do but cry aloud and spare
not?
Qn the other hand, if these
things look funny now' in the light
of experience, can any one reason
ably expect the only self-confessed
candidate to keep silent about
them? -Oregonian.
SUSAN VILLE STIRRING.
Blue Mountain Eagle.
Mr. A. B. JBenneson, president
and general manager of the Badger
Mining company, owner and ope
rators of the Badger and other
mines at Susanville, recently came
from San Francisce on a visit to
his mines. In speaking of his
organization, he is quoted assay
ing that all trouble among the
stockholders in his company had
been adjusted and its properties
would be operated at once on an
extensive scale. In "fact that a
resumption had ' already taken
place and no other complications
would likely occur to interfere
with his company's plans to work
its mines, both quartz and placer,
for all there was in them.
The operations of the company
at Susanville is superintended by
Alfred Brile, a well knotvn and
competent mining man. The Bad
ger mine, which property has been
tho seat of operation for some
time, has produced fully $85,000
of rich ore. The most of this
amount has been expended in
wages, improvements and for other
work in developing the property.
The property is yet all right, and
with the assistance of the Stock
ton, Gem and Princess, will be the
means of Susanville experiencing a
boom some day.

SWEET GIRL GRADUATES.
Time flies, and it will not be
long before leafy June is here
again, bringing with it the fact
that the sweet girl graduate is
always with us aud is really
the sweetest thing on earth. ' Ar
rayed in her spotless dress of
purest white she is a fond, dear
dream not found in tho rigid walks
of business life.
Lord Byron's works are not
claimed to be the most fitting
books for sweet girl graduates to
read, but many minds differ on
these subjects. Some girls like
standing collars as high as the
highest of the Heppner Hills, but
Lord Byron had strong ideas as to
the atrocity of standing collars.
He was a man of peculiarly inde
pendent mind and refused to wear
them. For this he was ostracized
from society and went abroad,
where he wrote "Childe Harold's
Pilgrimage" and other works. He
was much admired for his opposi
tion to the collar. Early in life
his own collar, or more properly
speaking, his choler (it is spelled
difierently in the Worcestershire
and Webstershire dictionaries)
rose and he wrote a pretty good
thing about English bards and
Scotch reviewers. Of course it was
impossible to convince the Scotch
that he was jokiug all the time.
It made Sir Walter Scott rather
savage, but it is all right now.
It is a pity Byron died at the
age of 37. If he had lived to 137
he would have had a pretty good
tinid with the Scotch. They say
that Byron was a licentious man
but he was a conscientious up
holder of high license and the
patrol limits.
Byron finally became pretty sick
of roast beef and waiting for the
English to grasp his meaning and
went over into Greece, where he
found a 2x5 war on tap, which just
suited him. lie had himself meas
ured lor a general's uniform and
paid in enough money to start the
commissary department. The
Greeks were very fond of him
while his dough held out. and
afterwards buried him reverently
and with a considerable outpour
ing'of eulogy. The Greeks do these
things and there Englishmen
rather cleverly. But it took the
terrible Turks to do them up in
the last little war.
