fHNOKKnON STATESMAN: Fit. I DAY .TUNK. 1H87. MEMORIAL DAY. Services Commemorative of the Soldier Dead. THE EXERCISES OF SUNDAY. The Procession to the Graveyard Services at the Graveyard Decoratine, As hail previously boon announced the annual Harmon commemorative of tho dead soldiers of the nation who sleep in the cemeteries of Salem wiik preached in the o;ra hoiiHe on Hunduy, toe 2!)th. No attempt was made ut decorating the stage except by the formation o an arch hy the national flag and the colors of Sedgwick jxst. The auditorium wuh comfortably filled notwithstanding the extremely hot weather, and at 3:30 p. m. Sedgwick Post No. 10, G. A. 11., and visiting members and Sedgwick re lief corpn No. 1 , entered and were eseort d to their Beats. Revs. J. W. Harris, J. W. Webb, and M. L. Rugg, occupied seats on the stage, as did ulso Capt. F. J. Rabcock, who acted as master of cere nionies. Professor Parvin presided at the organ, and together with Mm. Bab cock, Mihh llallie l'arrish, and Mr. Ray mond constituted a quartette which ren dered the hymns selected for the ocea Bion in a mout acceptable manner. Miss l'arrish Hang as a solo the hymn "A Thousand Years" in her usual finished Btvle. After the first hymn Rev. J. W. W'ebh read passsges from the scripture, descriptive of the warfare of a Christian soldier. I'rayer was offered by Uev. J. V. Harris after another hymn, following which was the solo by Miss I'arriBh. The memorial sermon w as then preached by lie v. M. L. Hugg, who took for the subject of hie discourse the charge given by Kmc David to his son Solomon rela tive to the completion of the temple and the carrying on of the work of building up a (J ml fearing nation which had been commenced by David. Mr. Huge spoke without notes and dwelt at length upon the duty of the soldiers of the republic to the carrying on of ttie work in winch their comrades had laid down their lives, the upbuilding of a free nation having its foundation in religious belief and practice. He dwelt at length upon the dangers which to-day threaten the stability of the nation and the perpetuity of free institutions, sparing none of the prejudices ot his heavens. The sermon was bold and outsjioken and evidently the result of much study and thought upon the part of an intelligent and cou rageous man. Mr. Rugg's effort deserves a wider publicity than the audience lie fore which it was delivered and a more extended notice than this brief review, lie cloeed with the recital of a beautiful and patiiotic poem. The audience then united in singing the hymn "America," when the benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. W. Harris. Monday's exeucises. Memorial day is Wing more generally observed every year. Ever since the first celebration of tiie obsequies of that duy in thisri'y about five years since, the nbsei vance of a day set apart for a fitting remembrance of the dead, not ouly of soldiers, but of private citizens, bus com mended itself more and more to those who cherished the memory of deceased friends or relatives. All yesterday morning carriages of resi dents of Salem, laden with flowers for decorating purposes, panned to and from the graveyard. Hardly a grave wuh missed, and the offerings were appro priate and munv of them beautiful. At nooti the various stores and b.mks of the city closed up, and the afternoon exercises were taken charge of by tlie G. A. K. At 2 o'clock the procession formed at the corner of Commercial and Sta'e streets. There were in line, lirst, the H. A. C. hand; Co. 15, Lieutenant Hcolt commanding; Knights of 1'ythias, under A. Grant, C. A. ; and Sedgwick Post, W. H. Byars commander. The procession started at 2 o'clock, promptly, for the I. O. O. F. cemetery, under the command of Capt. F. J. Bub cock, marshal, and B. F. Sonthwick, as sistant. The procession was followed by a large number of carriages ami citizens on foot. The band, during the entire march to the cemetery rendered appro iiritifi ui.l.u-tii itiu TmtriediiLtelv unon ar rival t here the exercises were commenced. The general order of General John A. Logan designating May 30th as Memorial day, countersigned by (ien. Lucius C. Fairchild, commander of the the Grand Annvoftbe Republic, was read hy Post Adjutant Erb. Marshal Babcock follow ed in a few words, after which an anthem was plaved by the hand. Chaplain J. VV. Crawford then delivered the prayer, and a suitable selection was sung hy a quin tette, consisting of Messrs. Dewe.ese, Bow ersox, Matthews, l'arvin and Bagley. The post commander then delivered an impressive address. The ceremony of strewing flowers over the graves of deceased comrades was an impressive one. There are but four ex soldiers buried in the I. . . F. ceme tf rv Kred Me Adams, who was interred several years Mince under the auspices of the G. A. K. ; Lemuel lllingsworth, pri vate of Co. C, loth United States iulantry ; and Lieut. Alfred Meadhurst, regiment unknown. These three deceased defend ers of the nation are buried together, and at their graves the exercises were held. Th fourth is K. N. Gilltnghaiii, who was a member of Capt. L. S. Scott's cenpa nv of Washington territory volunteers. As each member of the G. A. R. filed nast be droooed a bouquet of flowers on his comrades' graves, citing the name of ttie regiment and company to which httlftnittd. The quartet again sang, after which a alnto i.vur tlif lraves was ureii uyu iy f picked men. Prof. Cuoiuer Id "Lights Out." and the band playeil fnnnral march. The gathering was then with the benediction hy Cum- radn tUtnliutt. The services all through were simple anil intMrtHtini. being in accordance with the ritual f the G. A. It. prescribed for uch occasions. No leagthy addresses nor Inlwimn imlocios were delivered. Th tilut of croon d net airnrt for the suitably. Above the graves was stretched a wire to which was attached in ever green this motto: "Our Unknown Dead." A pyramid of floweis was placed be- i neath. After tbe exercises were over an oppor tunity was given to any who wished to decorate the graves of friends and rela tives. At 4 o'clock tbe procession re turned to the city, and it was disbanded. The day was all that could have been desired. It was clear and pleasant and a strong wind was blowing from tho north. The only thing that tended at all to mar the pleasantness of the march to the cemetery was the dust raised by car riages which persisted in passing the procession, notwithstanding the requests of the marshals, and with no consider ation for the comfort of the footmen. This was the occasion of Co. B's first public appearance. Ahn'it thirty men were in line, under the command of Lieutenant Scott, who bandied the "sol dier boys" in a highly creditable man ner. The company made a good apjiear ance, marched in admirable style, and showed that it had profited by the mili tary instructions received. FROM WEDNESDAY'S DAILY. KVAXGEL1CA L A1TOINTM KNTS. Young Cathsii. Mr. George F. White, postmaster at Silver Lake, Cow litz county, W. T., writes to the Oregon ian to say that there are millions of young catfish in the lake which any one wishing can have by coming there and helping themselves, or bv getting some one there to catch them and Bend them to the express office. Mr. White has sent out a great many, only charging for catching and putting them up and taking them to the express office, six miles dis tant. Parties should apply early, as the young fish go out into deep water as soon as they get of any size. The fish were planted into the lake some five years ago, and are now millions of them there, some twelve to fourteen inches long. Oregonian. The Sheep Law. Win. Iieed purchas ed eight head of sheep over in Linn county the other day, hays the Corvallis Gazette, but there is nothing strange abont that. lie started to take them over to Corvallis, but according to the new law sheep cannot be moved from one county to another without a stock inspec tor's certificate setting forth that they are free from any infection or contagious dis ease. It will cost Bill just three dollars for a certificate and it is a question whether or not eight head of sheep are worth three dollars more in Benton coun ty than in Linn. The river still divides Bill and his sheep. A Kicker. Yesterday morning, while a son of Robert Ford, the liveryman, was riding a horse along Commercial street, the saddle turned and threw the boy to the e.ound. The saddle fell under the horse and lie began to kick. He kicked his way up Commercial street to Ferrv and tried to kick into the Chemekete Hotel. He succeeded in driving a num. her of bystanders into the hotel, but be couldn't get in himself and he turned around and kicked himself back into Commercial street. About half of tbe saddle was gone by this time, but still that horse kept on kicking. He contin ued on his kicking way until he reached Ford's stable, when he kicked hiB feet clean out from under him and fell down and was captured. No special damage. The boy waB not hurt. No Dot'BT Remains. If any doubt ex- isted that the a'-entlance at the public recital of Miss Chamberlin's pupils to morrow night would be large, it was dispelled by the large number of seats that were Hold .yesterday. The eligible seats are not gone bv any means, howev er. The souvenir programmes have been printed, and are a model of neatness. The participants in the entertainment have learned their several parts, and are Klly prepared to appear on Wednes- day evening. The programme will be publisher) iii lo-inurraw morning b Static -.ms, and you can judge for your- seil ! ibe naiore ol me entertainment Ykt to be IIkcimcd. Nine cases yet re-! main to be decided by the supreme court, as follows: State vs. Dan Moran, appeal from Multnomah county; State vs. Clements, apieal from Grant county ; Kelly vs. lliglifield, appeal from Mult nomah; Hudson et al. vs. Thos. Mon teitb, H. S. Strahaa, assignee, appeal from Clatsop; J. J. F.lliott vs. Win. Stewart et al. , appeal from Multnomah ; Henry 15. Sampson vs. Mary B. Pratt et al., appeal from Wasco; Laura Lukin vs. O. P. K. li. Co.; 11. T. Bingham and K. V. Bingham vs. Chas. and Christine Salene, appeal from Multnomah ; and Miller vs. Tobin. pjeal from Klamath. Some of these cases are very knotty and consideration of them lias been deferred until this term. Many of tlu-m, possibly nil, will Vie decided on Monday, June 13, the mean time being devcted tothestudy of their merits by the judges. The work of the past March term lias been finished in a remarkably expeditious manner. Many cases which wre carried over from last term have been decided, and com plete disposition will be made of all cases submitted at tho late term. It has taken hard work, but Judges Ixjrd, Thayer, and Strahan have been fully equal to the ta'-k. Omissions. The statement, in yester day's Statesman that there were but four ex-soldiers interred in tho I. 0. O. F. cemetery, seems to have been inaccurate. Besides Sergeant K. N. Gillingham, of Capt. L. S. Scott's Co D, 4th California nfantry, and the three others mere is Corjioral S. W. Eakin, a brother of Mrs. Scott, and a member of the Bamecompa- Richard Barker, who nerved in the Indian wars in F-astern Oregon, and was severely wounded near Camp Harney, and Capt. Bennett, hilled in tialUe witn the Indians, near Walla Walla, are also buried there. In the same grounds there are probably other ex-soldiers bur- d, but who were not niemhers if th" (i. A. R. While speaking of Me morial day, the several students of the Indian training schol at Chemawa, who Piieared in the parade, ought to be men tioned. They made an excellent upear ance, and gave ample evidence that they tiad heen well trained m ti.u art v.i marching correctly. The Evangelical Association Holds Its Conferenee, and Makes Its Min isterial Appointments. FROM THURSDAY'S DAILY. WHEAT.

Sunday was un oppress' ively hot day. lhermometers in many places registered 100 degrees in the shade The churches in the evening were almost deserted. Tbe weather clerk had evi dently made up his mind to compensate for the unusual stretch of rainy weather and ho he put in his best licks on making up for lost time, rears, were lelt ttiat yesterday miirht he a repetition of San day, but happily these fears proved groundless. A cool breeze from the north rendered the day s exercises very pleasant. Lisb on to Indians. Ou Saturday eve ning one J. Croly was arrested by Police man liarndrick for giving liquor to an In dian. Mr. Barndrick noticed the tw worthies together, and seeing that they were neither ol them very sober followed them up until he saw Croly give the liquor to the Indian. He immediate, nabbed the offender and lodged him the calaboose. Croly will be examined before Commissioner Walton to-day, and if found guilty will be sent dow n to 1 or land for sentence. An Accident. Yesterday while wooden legged Indian and his wife were crossing the Willamette bridge in a tw horse wagon, a steamboat coming up the river whistled and scared the tiorses Thev endeavored to turn and go bat and tinned the wagon over, throwing the two occupants to tbe ground. The hoi r es did not try to go any further, The harness and wagon were damaged to some extent, but not seriously, the In dians were not hurt. Fkom the Fast. E. L. L.

The staple has risen three cents per bushel in San Francisco during the past week, and this would warrant tbe pay ment even of 95 cents here. But as there is little wheat in the country, and little competition for what remains, the price has not been forced up to that figure. Present indications are that next year's crop will command a high price, perhaps fl per bushel, and producers can con gratulate themselves on tho prospect. A FINE ENTERTAINMENT. ..I Is Crook County. Supt. M.-Klroy re- poits scViool work in Crook county in a very flourishing condition. County Supt. Johnson is doing good work in elevatin? and moulding public sentiment m favor of pnblic schools. The institute held at 'nnevillo (the first one ever held in tne :ounty,) was highly successful in every particular. The citizens of I'rinevule are thoroughly in earnest in advancing edu cational interests in their midst. They have r cently levied a school tax of ten mills on the dollar and will build, this year, a lar'e and commodious school house for use in their district, the above six is said to be the highest local tax ever levied in the State and speaks well for the people of Prineville and Crook ountv. The Btock and wool business ib being rapidly extended and now absorbs tbe major portion of the county. The Prineville people hope for the early com pletion of the railway through their county.

The tickets, which cost $4 from Salem, are ood for return on any trip of the boats of the Oregon Pa cific before August 1st. The hotels at Yauuina City and Newport are not crowd ed at this season of the year, aud no bet ter opportunity will be presented during the season for inhaling the bracing ocean breezes Nkably Ready. E. L. L.Johnson is busy opening his stock of goods in the new bank block. He will have ladies' and gents' furnishing poods, fancy goods, dress goods, etc. He bought the most of his goods from Marshall Field of Chicago, the greatest American wholesale mer chant, and this is a guarantee that they are new and fresh, and at the same time cheap, as reirards prices, and of good, standard quality. Mr. Johnson proposes to mark things down, and to keep the latest and the best. His stock will be ready for inspection in two or three days. The First. This is generally conceded to be a very backward season, but the receipt of a box of fine strawberries at this office yesterday has demonstrated the cheering fact that the "season" has "got here." This was the first box of berries reported at this office from any uarden near this city, an 1 was presented by Miss Wilkins who resides near the fair grounds. Miss Wilkins reported an excellent yield in prospect, and that strawberries will be plentiful in this city in a few days. A Curiosity. Hon. J. T. Gregg last night received from Sal. Ripinsky, for merly of this city, but now of Juneau, Alaska, a pipe, which is in itself a curi osity. The bowl is large, and is cut from some native wood,, rather light, in a shape to represent a species of toad suf- fenna from inflation ol the ahaomen. The tobacco is placed in the back of the toad, in a receptacle prepared tor me purpose, and the stem to the bowl. The pipe is quite a curio, and will be placed among Prof. Gregg's collection. The Parade. Col. John Lee, of the U. S. Indian training school at Chemawa, has accepted the invitation of the Fourth of July committee to participate with his school in the parade and celebration in this city. This will add largely to the pageant. Willamette Assembly, K. of L., at its last meeting unanimously re solved to accept the invitation, and other organizations are expected to accept at their next meeting. The parade will be the finest ever seen in the city. Died in Roseburg. J. Brandt, super intendent of the O. & C. railroad, passed down the road yesterday morning, with the body of his daughter, Mrs. M. F, Kapp, who died in Koseburg on isnnday, Mav i."J. after a short illness, hhe win be buried at Portland. The friends of Mr. Brandt sympathize sincerely with him in this sad affliction. Mr. Kapp is bookkeeper in Itoseburg for Sol. Abra ham. Painting the Steeplb. Scaffolding is being placed around the steeple of the M. E. Church, for the purpose of paint ing it. Alonday night, several small boys climbed the scaffolding, and amused themselves for awhile by throwing stones at passers by, to the latters' great alarm. This is dangerous practice, and if it is repeated the young malefactors win he punished. President of the Day. Uovernor Syl vester Pennoyer has consented to act as president of the day for Salem's Fourth of July celebration. This completes the list of officers for the celebration, me interest is still increasing, and there is no doubt now that there will be an im mense throng, a most imposing proces sion, and something of interest and for amusement for all. Swamp Lands. Government Agent Shackleford has just returned from Southern Oregon where he has been en gaged in examining into the character of lands in what is known as List No. 5. Mr. Shackleford is acting under instruc tions of Commissioner Sparks in examin ing in person about 97,000 acres of land which is in dispute between the govern- I ment and state. This is the land for which Government Agent Ankeny in 1883 made certificates of approval as swamp lands. In light of recent develop ments of frauds perpetrated in swamp land matters Commissioner Sparks made a motion before Secretary Lamar that the certificate of approval mentioned be can celled, and the motion was to nave Been argued on April 18. The matter was postponed, however, until June 17, and in the mean time Agent Shackleford was directed to make a re-examination of the lands. Mr. Shackleford will soon make out his report and send it to the govern ment authorities. As soon as this spe cial work -is finished, he will join the special agent who was appointed by Gov. Pennoyer to act in conjunction with him Kksioned. (J. D. (Jabrielson, assistant secretary of the State Insurance company has banded his resignation to the board of directors of the company, and will leave on Thursdav for iJesMoines, Iowa with his family. lie has been tendered a position with the Hawkeye Insurance company, but has not yet decided wheth er he will accept or not. Mr. Gabrielson lias made many friends during his stay here, and they will be sorry to lose him from this city. in examination of swamp land matters. Commencement Exercises. The pro gramme for the commencement exercis es of the academy of the Sacred Heart of Salem have been printed, and invita tions to be present issued to the friends of the institution ami graduates. The date of the commencement is June 9th, and the exercises begin at 2 o'clock p. m. These are always very interesting occa sions, and a fine programme is invaria bly rendered. The class this year consists of Mary E. Folev, Salem, salutatorian, Jessie F. Davis, Silverton, LenaF. Edris, Eugene City, Lva M. Adolph, balern, Mary E. Mumper, brooks, Maggie Millican, H'altervule, L,mn county, lua L. Spink. Albanv. Roeetta E. Smith, Salem, Christie R. Shepherd, Washou gal, W. T., and Hattie B. Luckey, Eu gene City, valedictorian. The motto of the class is "Fisto quod esse videris," of which the English paraphrase is "Be what you seem." The Railroad Commission. Since the last meeting of the board of railroad com missioners, Messrs. Slater and Waggoner have visited various parts of Eastern Ore gon for the purpose of conferring with shippers and producers, and of gathering data on which to base a recommendation to the O. R. & N. Co. for a reduction of freight charges on their line. It is un derstood that this recommendation will be made within a few days, but it is not vet decided how much of a reduction will be asked for. The board met yesterday at the state capital, and is now busily en gaged in examining complaints, railroad reports, etc. Action in these complaints will not be taken until they have been thoroughly examined, and then it will be made public. Will Takk Part. At their meeting last night, Sedgwick Post, G. A. R., de cided to accept the invitation of the Fourth of July celebration to take part m the parade on the occasion of Falem's bin celebration of the Fourth. Thus is the success of the celebration more and more assured, as the time for the event approaches. Mandate Issued. The mandate of the supreme court, enjoining a stay of pro ceedings aid commanding Marple to be re-sentenced, was issued yesterday by the clerk of the supreme court, and sent to Ihe sheriff of Yamhill county. This will remove all resiionsibility for the ex ecution, or rather non-execution, of Mar- nle s sentence from the shoulders ol Sheriff Harris. Murder at Spokane. A dispatch in yesterday's Oregonian reads as follows : A man named Teller was shot by his wife vesterdav on a ranch at Deep Creek Falls. Deceased was jealous of his wife's inti macy with a voting man named Miutn There was a little dispute over a deed to the farm, and Teller confronted Ins wife with a shotgun, whereupon the wile drew revolver and shot fnm, the injuries proving la'al aimosi immediately, ui rectly after the catastroie the wife started for the rails and gave nerseii up tome sheriff. Later advices state that the de ceased is Franklin Teller, son of the late Geo. W. Teller, of Polk county. He leaves a brother in Polk county, James and a sister living temporarily in Galena Mrs. Isabel Reed. The River. The river was yesierday 8.5 feet above low water marka remark ablv high figure for this time of year The verv warm weather of the past few days has gone a long ways towards welt ing the snow in the mountains, and me river has risen accordingly. The mill company lias not as yet peen loreeu io shut (town, and probably itie water win net rise high enough to cause it to do so. The Willamette at Portland was yester day 22.5 feet above low water mark, and still rising. This is within one foot of the high water mark of June 1st, 1870. A little over three feet more and the water will cover Front street. The r irst Victim. James Kvan was arraigned before Recorder Strickler yes terday morning, charged with vagrancy James plead auilty and was sentenced to imprisonment in the comity jail for fif teen days. He is a California tramp and a partner of Croly, who gave liquor to the Indian on Saturday night. Taken to Pom land. J. Cooley, the fellow who was arrested Saturday night for giving litiuor to an Indian, was ex amined by Commissioner Walton, found guilt v, and was taken to Portland for sentence by leputy U. S. Marshal Gus Marquam. Okkickrs Elected. At its last regular meeting Olive Iodge No. 1H, I. O. O. F elected the following officers: F. H. Alliston, N. G. ; John Stapleton, V. G. W. J.

I The Sueressful Musical Recital Given hy Miss Cliamlierl in's Pupils Last Nisrht. The recital of Mi. -is Chamberlin's pupils at the opera house last evening was very largely attended, which fact showed in it self that there is a great deal of interest taken in Salem's excellent musical talent, present and prospective, and especially in .Miss Chamberlin's very large class of music pupil si. Tho opening chorus, "Ring the Lily Bells," in w hich Hit y-se ven ladies and girls took part, was an excellent piece of concerted nvusioj and its rendition at once put the audience in good hunvr, and in sympathy with the singers and performers of the evening. The trio by Mrs. Belt, soprano, Miss Grace Scriber, contralto, and Miss Hatch, alto, and the duet by Mrs. Belt and Miss Hatch were very fine. Mrs. Belt, Misses Scriber, jMoores and Scriber rendered Schubert's "Serenade" and Kienzl's German shep herd song in an excellent manner. Miss Maude Martin drew forth a good round of applause by her rendition of Lo Pre mier Bal (waltz) ; Misses Loru Chapman, alto, and May Chapman, soprano, sang "Fly Away Birdling" with fine effect. Misses Hannah Chase and Kate Ladue showed marked ability and that they were accomplished pianists by the ren dition of Lysberg's "La Baladine ;" Miss Mabel Hutton sang Thomas' "Little Flower Girl" in a very sweet voice; Miss Anna Parmenter, a favorite soprano, then san1; in good tone, and with excel lent expression, "Leaf from the Sprav," a pretty waltz song by Macy; Fred Waters and Aleck Moir then followed in "The Daughter of the Regiment," an in strumental selection played exceeding ly well; "Camelia and tbe Rose," by Mrs. J. H. Strickler, always a great fa vorite, was sung so well as to greatly in crease her popularity, and to strengthen her standing as a sweet singer. The quartet, " Rest Thee on This Mossy Pil low," by Misses Riely, Elgin, Waters, and Lindsey, was beautifully rendered, and called forth a good round of applause. The "Invitation to the Dance," by Misses Kate Ladue and Rita Lownsdale (piano duet), showed excellent training, and was neatly executed, for such young per sons. Mr. Ross wasneverin better voice, and he sang " The Grand Old Ocean " in grand style, and that his hearers were well pleased was shown in the encore he received. Miss Bessie Smith then ren dered " Les Sylphes " in very good style. Mrs. Belt and Miss Chamberlin followed n "Come To My Heart," a beautiful duet, beautifully sung. Mrs. Belc's Voice has lost none ot its old-time sweet ness, and in this selection she re established herself as a favorite Salem vocalist. The voices of herself and Miss Chamberlin, whom all recognize as a finished vocalist, blended sweetly, and the rendition was so heartily appreciated that it won the vigorous encore which was gracefully responded to. Several very nne bouquets were presented to each. Miss Chamberlin, who has worked al most night and day for the past month, drilling performers, directing rehearsals of choruses, and arranging the details of the programme, and upon whom the care and responsibility had worn, was so tired that she was forced to ask the indulgence of the audience in excusing her from singini her solo, the closing chorus, "To Thee, O Country," was a highly appreciated selection, and its ex cellent rendition demonstrated that great care had been taken by Miss Chamber- in in directing the 57 voices. The even ing's entertainment as a whole was very successful, and at least as satisfactory a performance as has been given this win ter. Miss Chamberlin demonstrated that her winter's teaching had borne good fruit, in the very large number of excel lent pupils, who have been under her musical guidance, and who performed last night. On Labor Day. Next Saturday, June 4th, will be celebrated the first Labor Day. at Marion square.

Multnomah county has paid to the state treasurer the full amount of her state taxes, amounting to about $38,000, less about $2000, which was her share of the moneys in which various counties in the state were reimbursed by the last legislature. This county has also satisfied in full tbe claims which the state held against it for $9,983.81, delinquent taxes of 1884, and $1,568, delinquent taxes prior to 1880. Many of the counties have paid in full their dues to the state, and all except Umatilla have paid a part. The latter county it is understood will settle in full in a short time. Most of the counties, also, are paying not only the taxes of 188ti, but, their delinquincies of former years. Union and Baker are (be only exceptions. The promptness w itii which their tuxes have been paid bv the counties, and the manifestation of a de sire on their part to settle all delinquen cies, mav be taken as a sign of the heiter times with which the country is begin ning to be blessed.
