The new two-story brick hotel on
the corner of Main and Franklin streets
is approaching completion. 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,

1'KNOLKTON LETTER.
Adams rorrritnonden.ee.
. Adams, Mar. 4.
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."

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

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."

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.

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. Portland Orcgonian,

WE8T0S, March 5.
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.
