"Good and Faithful Servant."
We regret to announce in this issuo the
intended departure from this city of Mr.
Owen. Wade.
Mr. Wade was appointed Itegister of tho
land office for this distriet of Oregon by
Abraham Lincoln in IstH, nearly thirteen
years ago. Since tlip.t time he has made
his homo among us, ami many friends,
lie is a modest and retiring "man, and
though never conspicuously prominent in
public movements, lie has never been be
hind in measure for the proin-ition of tho
general good. As a public ollicial he has
always leen courteous to those having
business with him, and strictly honorable
in all his dealings. Even the Portland
Standard, which seldom stieaks well of
Republican apjwintees.was honest enough
to speak of Mr. Wade's otlicial life in tho
highesfterins. Mr. Wade resigned tho
Register ship ho had so long and honora
bly filled 011 account of failing health ami
a growing desiro to see "tho old folks at
home," in Ohio. He will take his two
children with him, and nrobably visit
friends in dirlerent lOastern States.esiKJcial
ly Washington City. He is undecided
whether he will return, but we feel confi
dent that one who has so many fnends
hero cannot stay away from theiu forever.

wo can't' compete with Eastern iaiers 111

do claim that a resident of tho county
one who desires to know what is going on
in his vicinity and has an interest in the
welfare of the county wo give informa

Eastern papers.
Whyis itThusi.y. -A gentlemen lately
from tho East, who has bought a farm in
this county, was surprised to find so few
of his neighbors who took the countv
paper. lie says that his observation so
far has been that the most of them could
raise two or three dollars whenever there
was a dance or anything of that kind, but
always say they are too poor to pay $2 T0
tor a paiK-r which would keep I hem in
formed on what is transpiring in their
own cuinty. This is a poor showing to
make to new comers, and it is to le liope(
that it will Do Dctter miring the com

of our subscribers that tho paiier reaches

often it is carried by tho ixistollices. Until
within the past six months we never had

New Chileans, Jan. 3. Tho clearing
house passed a resolution unqualifiedly
and emphatically deprecating and pro
testing against the passage of t he I "lam
silver bill or any other law authorizing
tlie coinage of silver except as subwidi
ary silver without lcgl tender vah:e, or
if so, for a very small amount. They
iienounco as uutruo tho assertion in
some northern papers that the south
favors romouetization. They regard
gold as ti:o recognized standard ot value
of the world, und consider a binictalli
standard dangerous and impracticable.
which would restrict our foreign trade
and work doincsiiu injury. They de
dure tiie refunding of the national deb
a much more uonorabio met nod ot re
ducing public burdens than debasing
the standard, and urge that we are now
glad to believo that at no distant day
gold will bo at par and nothing should
be done to blast that expectation, cer
tainly not in the way of a demonetized
financial experiment.
Washington, Jan. S. President Hayes
lias definitely determined to make the
Chinese question tho subject of a special
message to Congress. In this message
he will call attention to the present and
prospective evils of unlimited Chines.
immigration to this country and will
recommend Congress to tako such ac
tion as in its wisdom it may deem most
proper and effective to restrict and reg
ulate tho immigration of Mongolians.
The President has not yei decided
whether ho will suggest any particular
manner for tho attainment of these ob
jects, but at present it seems probable
that he will confine himself to the forcible
presentation of the necessity for action
and leave to tho two houses of Congress
the task of devisiug a proper remedy.
It is also quite probable that ho will
direct the stato department to notify
tho Chiuoso government through the
usual diplomatic channels that ecruo
action on its part to restrict tho immi
gration of its subjects to this country
is likewise, considered desirable, but
nothing positive in regard to making
such an invitation has yet been deter
mined. The Presidont expects to have
the message ready for transmission to
Congress soon after it3 reassembling.
Foreign.
Pakis, Jan. 4. A Berlin correspond
ent says-he has trustworthy information
of an agreement on the subject that a
ratification of the reichstag and federal
council has been arrived at between
Bisniarek and Von Benningcon for the
formation of a liberal parliamentary
ministry.
A Vienna special says England has
iufcrnietl the government of St. Peters
burg that she has no objection in prin
cidle to the conclusion of an armistice
in the mode proposed by Kussia. But
as regards tho terms of peace, no new
European programme must be drawn
up without the sanction of her majesty's
governmeLt.
St. PETEB-snrriO, Jan. 8. The Journal
de St. Petersburg says that llnssia, after
her immense sacrifices, demands the
right to discuss the conditions of peace
with her enemy alone, ltussia, how
ever, recognizes the right of Europe to
moke known its appreciation of the
peace conditions settled between the
belligereuts. It is, nevertheless, im
portant not to admit any pretensions
which might mislead the vanquished
concerning their position and public
opinion concerning relations between
the powers.

A letter from Stevens county, W. T.,
to the Falonse Gazette contains this:
The greatest drawback to this country
is the unsettled Indian question, and 1
can seo no end to it yet. The Indians,
as a mass, are dissatisfied with the way
things uow stand, and aro opposed to
removing to auy reserve. I have been
able to talk with many, and they all,
with few exceptions, are snlky and in
disposed to say much. How it will end,
am unable to say; ami auer a resi
dence of twenty years among them 1
cauuot say that I feel safe.
Tho Snohomish Stur has "given up

Pacific Coast Appropriations.
A Washington dispatch of tho 2nd
gives the following summary of tho ap
propriations for this coast:
Dalayed estimates approved by heads
of executive departments, which have
been tabulated by the secretary of the
treasury and printed in book form, in
clude tho following for expenditure on
the Pacific coast: Improvement of Oak-
aud harbor, s200,0Ul); Wilmington har
bor, $50,000; Sacramento and Feather
rivers, $20,000; Lower Willamette and
Columbia rivers, from Portland to tlie
sea, $1M ,000; Upper Willametto, $50,-
000; Upper Columbia and Snake rivers,
SGfJ.OOO; Canal at Cascades of the Co
lumbia river, 50.000; for fortifications
at Fort Point, $100,000; Limo Point,
680,000; Alcatraz, 50,000; San Diego,
50,000; Mouth of Columbia, $30,000;
Mare Island navy yard (general repairs
to buildings and ground), $75,000. No
specific estimates are made for work at
this or auy other navy yard, but the
department asks for certain lump sums
to be distributed by its various bureaus
among tho yards throughout the coun
try as occasiou may arrse.
A similar remark applies to estimates
this year for tho survey of public lands.
Tho interior departments propose to
make allotments in its own discretion,
just as was done last year by authority
of Congress. The estimate for clerk
hire in the Caliiornia surveyor general's
office is $20,000. The department earn -estly
urges this and similarly increased
amounts for Nevada, Oregon and Pacific
coast territories as indispensable to
bring up arrears of business. Estimates
for salaries of all federal oflicers and
their salaried employes on the Pacific
coast aro in exact accordance with the,
amount appropriated for the current
fiscal year.
S. M. Wait and J.N.Day have bought
the Daytou woolen mill. They intend
to run it to its fullest eaiaeity next
spring.
Olympia Transcrijtt: Five of tha larg
est sawmill companies have proposed
to tho other four smaller ones to buy
them oil from running for the next year,
paying them ten per cent, of tho busi
ness which they would do. One tf them
has accepted tho proposal, provided
they allow it to cut tho logs the com
pany has on hand, or purchase tliom at
cost prico. If this rumor is true, it will
probably affect tho logging business,
which is now looking np, and Iriug it
to a stand still. We also leurn that an
inventory of tho logs on the sound,
made a few weeks ago, placed the s.mouut
of surplus logs at '2.',GOO,000 feet. Of
this amount the largest portion h;is since
been purchased by tho large mills. Tho
large companies have agents continually
buying up timber land, and will soon,
if continued in this way.bave tho whole
