It contains about twenty-five rooms and is quite conveniently arranged. No one has yet been secured to take charge of the hotel, As it will doubtless prove a paying bus iness, here is a splendid opening for Sam good hotel man. Young Chief is dead. lie was ' Walla Walla chieftain, high In rank among the Indians occupying the Uma tilla Reservation. Young Chief was a very old roan at the time of his death- no man knows how old. Young Chief was not a firm friends of the white man. Owing either to a suspicious nature, or the character ef the men with whom he had dealings, his opinion- of his pale faee brothers was anything but exalted. Though in later years he wore white man's clothes, he regarded the average "Beaten nan" as a thief and a foe to Vis people. There are some sentimental people back east who have no higher conception of the people of the Far Wust. Nearly a eeutury ago Young Chief was a warrior and man of considerable prowess, and he led a life of savage and cheerful activity. Of late years he has been of a melancholy turn, constantly repining over his leanness and contain lag much eodliver oil and other "glease" la the vaia endeavor to become fat beg pardon obese. But he is gone to the Happy Hunting Gronud, and those redakiaa who inherit his property and em white folks soein mighty glad of it. la a few years he will probably be en tirsly forgotten. In a great many years he is sure to be. What should the spirit ot mortals be proud of? The base ball rnles of 18S5 are not as wall known perhaps as they eught to be to those eldiih amateurs who are sow niakinz themselves conspicuous around the aiagio diamond. For in stance, Mr. II. McArthur seems to have an idea that the proper way to corral a "fly" is to catch it in the neck or on thopoiutof his chin. This misunder standing of the rules may partially ac count for his indifferent success. Then, Mayer White, seems to think that the way to get home from tho third base is to imitate the wicked scrpeut. Though his figure is not modelled tar that method ot locomotion, he sometimes makes it. Prof. Owen labors under the delusion that the more awkwardly lie can grnitp the bat the farther the hall will go; but as he has not yet suc ceeded in hitting the ball he has not been able to demonstrate his theorv to the satisfac tion of the club. To have real good playing there is too great a diversity of opinion as te the best meth od of alopping a ball. Mr. J. O. Moore house believes iu and practices the plan f getting ont of its way as quickly ag possible so that it may reach a fence or same solid obstruction, that will make tare work ot it. His motto is ' never piok up a ball that is in motion." Pr. Williarasoa and Sim Earnes believe that the proper way to catch the ball U ou the points of the fingers. There aro two objections to this: it is uniform ly unsuccessful and it is hard on the ball U be speared in that fashion; hut these two persist in playing that way. Messrs. Geo. A. Hartman aud I). P. Karp, two of the best on the held, have peculiar notions about catching a fine fly. They insist that one man should r wj it, mat it requires two to make a soeeess of it. These two should ran from oppoita directions aud meet ! with great force just as the ball is about to drop and thus wedge it iu tiht be tween tha two men. Even when not saocesiful this has a grand effect. Messrs. H. B. Nelson and W. Steinaker aet on the principle that the best play ers are those who seldom move trom tneir posts, ana ween foey nave to get oat of the way of a ball, do so with great calmness and deliberation. Two mock excitement has spoiled aiany a flee play. They make ao such mis takes. Dr. McColl labors under the impression that beeausc he has big feet that it is his duty to tramp oa every opponent within an acre of him and thus - . disable the whole opposing force. Oh! yes, the rules of 1SS5 should be pasted in players hate, t . - Iluliis & Cleve, Centerville. Additional loeal on first page. The city of Weston has received its new charter, extending the limits.

Tc the Editor of the Lkadee: "iuoth he. that man is sure to lose Wha ioi his hands with dirty toes; For where no honoi's to be pained, Ti thrown away in being maintained." "Pynamite" has Rone off again with a loud detonation, and with an abject apology to all who have been bored by this foolish correspondence, I will, in justice to myself and a few friends, re ply for tho last time. The object of the last explosion was as transparent as the first, being most evidently "to feed fat the ancient grudge they bear" some of any friends. This is a phase of the business that is very distasteful to rue, as I hare no desire to eause my friends annoyance through fanlt of mine. And yet I feel uo great uneasiness, for "When satire flies abroad on falsehood's wing. Short is her Hie and impotent her sting." And besides, it is a very unwieldy wea pon in the hands of such as they. I can only reiterate my statement of last week. The fellow "has me on the hip.'' He continues to ask me to prove some thing he knows I will not do, aud feels perfectly safe with his taunts. But, after all, what does all this mean? Who is "Dynamite? W hat has he to do with the objectionable par agraph? What is objectionable in it, auyway? Who is hurt by it? What have mv friends to do in the matter? Why deny a thing that you know noth ing about, and are in no wise concerned? If you are interested, please state to what extent. Suppose I should now in. form you that the little ludicrous incl dent occurred over iu Union county, about two miles or so from some place. Would it not place you iu rather an awkward predicament? Your conduct in this case reminds me very much of a story Rube Baskett used to tell. He aid that there was at one time, back in Missouri, an old sow that had for sever al months gained a livelihood by forag in" around a hotel, where she was stoned and maltreated so by rooks and scullions that at the slightest noise she would run and squeal like one possess ed, It happened at one time that there was an old drunken tramp skulking around the back part of the hotel on much the same errand as her hogship, when becoming terribly frightened at his approach, the made a frantic effort to escape, and ran directly between the fellow's legs and carried him into the middle of the street, when the tramp jumped to his feet and yelled at the top of Ins voice: Any one that says 1 was eating swill with that sow is an infernal liar! ' 1 quit you, Pynamite, with this in junction: be careful next time not to ick before you're spurred. There may be a physician over in Union county at this moment congratulating himself that ou have taken a disagreeable job off his nds. Thanking you kindly for the compliment you pay my letters, when you mistook them for retouched articles from the pitted pen of my "friend," I drop von, as I would any disagreeable thing, exclaiming to myself: 'Hold thv pen: do not honor him so much To prick thy linger, though to wound his heart. . w nat vaior were it wnon a cur uotn gnu For one to thrust his hand between hiB teeth, When he might spurn him with his loot away." HIXTOX JLETTEB. For the Leader. Milton, Mar. 4, 1885. Quite a largo camber of visitors were oat last Friday afteraoon to witness the closing exercises of the school. The ta bles were brought down from np-stairs about noon and placed together to form large tables. - These were loaded with good things which had been prepared with special reference to thia occasion. Of this, visitors, teacher and scholars partook qta cordially. Of the litera ry exercises which followed wo would say that the essays by the young ladies aud gentlemen were most excellent. The protracted meetiug closed San- day. Between fifty and sixty voters attend ed the school meeting on the 2d, which resulted in the re-electioa of Mr. N. Pierce as director, and the election of Hull as clerk. Some money was subscribed for the purpose of having the school house repainted and other need' ed improvements. Mr. sturgeon, the barber, has again left ns for Ellensburg. W. T. Phelps & Arthur are moving their stock of furni ture into the building just vacated by the barber, it being more commodious than their former place of business. Many of our citizens haye no doubt forgotten that to-day their President was to be inaugurated, as they made do demonstration to that effect. Some of the "fantastic toes" were seen to start Weston ward just as "the shades of eve were falling." The W. C. T. U. will meet on Thurs day at three o'clock.

There was a party given at Simpson's Hall Friday night by the young people of the town and surrounding couutry in honor of the wedding of our young townsman. Frank Holman and Miss Inez Williams of Cold Spring. Frank has drawn a handsome prize from out the matrimoui&l lottery. At the party she was beautitully dressed in pale pink satin, and there uiy description must stop, which will prove to you what a poor fashion reporter I would make. I only know she looked very handsome, aud that Frank seemed very proud of her. Frank was dressed very much as the rest of tho l oung men were, with the exception that the smile he wore was broader than the average. It was feared by his most intimate friends that Frauk was destined to become a con firmed bachelor, but Inez' black eyes soon did the business. I hope they may alwiivs bo as happy as they deserve to be. M. S. Lee. Pendleton, March 4, Inauguration day.

A Thriving Town on the Beautiful Cnia' tUla Plains. A little over a year ago nearly the en tire business portion of the town of Weston was destroyed by fire, the ele uients clearing out four blocks entirely with the exception of one brick build Since that time thirty new build nigs have been erected, many ol ttiem being handsome and substantial britk structures. The country is suffieienllly rolling to afford good drainage, and the soil is unexcelled in the world for its richness aud productive qualities. Wheat is the chief product, the average crop being from thirty to fifty bushels to the acre. But corn, oats and barley do well, and potatoes "row as big as boulders, aud yield four and five bun dred bushels to the aere. All the hardy fruits are grown in quantities, such as apples, pears, chctries and plums, and .the small fruits, strawberries, raspber ries, etc., produce large yields and are exceedingly fine in flavor. The water is particularly healthy, and is to be had n plentiful quantities at but little trou ble and expense. The climate is mild and Tcry healthy, severe cold, when it comes, being of short duration. What better country could any one wish for? The wonder is that more people do not take advantage of the immense opportu uities offered by it. Weston has a population now of about six hundred, and is composed of a moral and refined class of people, They take espooial pride in their eduea tional advantages, having a woll con ducted public school with an average at' tendance of 150 pupils, under the charge of Prof. Owen and two assistants, and a normal school conducted by Joseph M Taylor. This latter institution is be coming quite popular, and is doing good work. There are two churches, Baptist and Episcopalian,' and the following branches of business are represented 3 general steres, 2 drug stores, 1 notion store, 1 butcher shop, 2 blacksmith shops, 2 furniture stores, 1 wagon mak er, 2 livery stables, 1 flouring mill, 1 ho tel, 1 saloon and 1 skating rink. The prospects are favorable for large crops tbis year, and it will not be long before people who are now complaining of hard times will be enjoying wealth and happiness.

To the Editor of the Lkader: Last week Dr. King of this place wrote to the E. O., making certain statements concerning uie which were false, and which he knew to be false while writing them. I replied to that paper, but its editor said he "had to draw the line some where," and so refused nie space to defend my self against charges which he had just published. Any other paper in the United States would allow a person at leat one chance to reply to personal charges, but that is his idea of fairness. Howcv, er, Dr. King proceeded "to tell Dr. Williamson and others why 1 was led to conclude that a cats- paw of his wrote the squibs about me in the Pendleton paper." The above is his language. Further on he says that I am the "catspaw. I Allow me to say that the statement is false. I saw the item charging him with calling a rupture a dislocation of the hip and his getting chloro form and another physician to help him fix it, but the other physician told him what it was in time to prevent any damage, and while I find by investigation that the item was btbictlv true, I did not write it and have no idea who did. Of course a physician who makes such blunders in his prat-tice can be excused for other blunders not soserious, still I don t think any gevtlema will publish names and charges without knowing what he is talking about. Again, to state that I was trying to get any of his patients for another doctor is untrue, and would be a terribly mean thing if true. But the idea of any of the other physicians trying to get any of poor King's little practice is too funny a joke for those w ho know anything about it. It would be very nearly as mean as trying to steal the money from the eyes of a dead man. But what has Dr. Williamson got to do with it, even if I had written it! I have over thirty relatives and I never ask any of them what I shall eat, or write, or say. It might be a good thing for Dr. King to act differently, especi ally when he finds a rupture. Dragging Dr. Wil liamson in this is simply a cowardly attempt to stab him in the back over my shoulders. Dr. King, as "Kcx," may continue advertising him self in the E. O. as before; he may sweat all he pleases over his battery as he exhibits it to an admiring group of awe-stricken country boys; he may stand half a day on the street corners with hissaddle-bags over his shoulder after a visit to the country, but 1 trust be will learn t- leave me alone when I am not guilty. Sow let him pitch into some one else, and he may blunder on to "Copa-Sica" yet A- h. Powell.
