A cerraspendent for the East Oregon'
ian at Kamela, states that the snow
the Blue Mountains is less than the av
erage, and owing to the dryness of the
ground aad water courses, that the melt
ing snow will be all absorbed by the
mountain soil. Consequently, he be
lieves that there is no grounds for fears
of high water. Snow at the summit is
only 30 inches deep and very dry.
The grand jury, after investigating the
killing ef A. L. Barry by J. K. Davidson,
ordered the discharge of Davidson.' The
action of the grand jury is an endorse'
meat of the vsrdict of the coroner's jury

question if there are any who doubt
that the killing was justifiable, it being
done in self defense.
The branch that courses along Water
strest should be changed at soma poin
in the upper part of the city, so that it
waters will run into Fine creek. Valua

ill-health to families living beside it,
It should bo declared a nuisance aad its
course changed, as suggested.
Reports from our farmers who have
fall sown wheat in the ground, are thai
it is growing fine, and where the snow
has disappeared, the wheat is above
ground an inch or more and looking

the commencement ef winter afforded
perfect pretcction to the grain, and in
this vicinity there has been no damage
whatever done thus far, The outlook
far a good crop is most promising.

We are pleased with the position the
East Oregonian occupies in relation te
the petty criminal cases that are tried in
eur circuit court, especially those from
the Umatilla reservation. The E. 0
hints that these cases are gotten up by
a "combine,'' fer the money there is in
it fer themselves. We know nothing
about this part of it; but do know that
the expense of prosecuting these petty
cases, is borne by the tax-payers of the
coanty , which does not appear right
