Joseph's Surrender.
A Fort Benton disr)atch of the 8th,
tells how the wiley sa age was induced
to yield .as follews: Since the first
battle of Miles with Joseph's band the
troops have been holding the hostiles
in a narrow ravine and have picked
them oii trom rule pits, losing oniy
h:
four men themselves. Joseph raised
a white fla" four times, offering tosur- j
t 'ci in ii..i i-
ender. if he might be allowed to keep
u,uu' h t
his o-nns. Miles demanded uncondi
... 0
tional surrender, and on the last day
Joseph raised the white flag again, ad
vanced in front of the lines, handed
his gun to Miles and shook hands with
Jiim. The remainder of the command
did the same. Forty wounded Indians
were found in camp. The number of
dead is unknown, as all were buried.
The glory of the fight rests with
Miles. Intrenchments of the Nez
Perces were ingeniously constructed.
Their bravery w:is unsurpassed through
out the fight, and they are credited
with numerous acts of humanity to
ivounded whites.
Eastern Elections.
Ohio has gone democratic by about
:20,000 at least. Both brandies of the
legislature will be democratic.
Estimates place Iowa republican by
tibout 25,000.
The Chicago Inter Ocoan regards
the verdict as the seal of disapproval
placed by republicans on the course of
the administration. The defeat is bit
ter, far-reaching and disastrous, but
if it opens the eyes of potitical wise
acres it may not be wholly useless.
Three great blunders were made in
Ohie: first, endorsing the southern
policy in the convention; second, an
tagonizing the finaucial feeling of the
entire west; third, the handcuffing of
the few republican officials in Ohio by
endorsing the civil service order.
These moves put the jmrty in as good
.shape for a sound thrashing as a party
could be. The sop thrown to the work
ingmen alienated many republicans and
was of no avail in securing working
men's co-operation, because too incom
plete and inane. The last hope of
continued republican supremacy in the
United States senate is now gone.
Maine and Iowa refused to endorse
and retain their republican majorities.
Ohio endorses, approves, yields and is j
lost.
Jennie June says that money is
not so often the reason young women
marry elderly men as people imagine.
She says that the young man of to-day
is not the desirable husband that the
young man of fifty years ago was; he
is not so thoughtful, sober, painstak
ing and conscientious; he lives at a
club, has no love of home life, nor de
sire to build up character and reputa
tion as a man and citizen; his ideas of
life are bounded by the theatre and
the doings of his little set; and, in too
many cases his ambition is to own a
racer and be on intimate terms with
the ballet. Naturally mothers "shrink
from intrusting their daughters to such
youths as these, even if they have the
opportunity, and are better pleased to
bestow them on older
men who have
sown their wild oats; who know how
little of real value there is in the tern-
porary
excitement of
pleasure; who
have, perhaps, been married once, and
have learned to value home and the
guarantees it affords for permanent ! tjiese fifai"res.
happiness." Qrajn by the thousands of tons still
remain stacked up around the railroad,

Fred Stine is having a very sub

He suffered severely by the last high

Tom O'Brien, the popular land

The receipts of the Walla "Walla
Iost-ofiice for the quarter ending
September 30th, were 5Gl. The
Dayton office during the same period
received $27; the "Wallula office 11

small figures for Dayton and large for
the rest.
-Ralph Geer, an old and highly
respected resident of the Waldo Hills,
Marion county, Oregon, is up here
visiting his son, L. B. Geer, the sheep
man. He brought his weather with
him.
Cait. J. M. Nosier, former sheriff
of Whitman county, started out two
years ago to find a better country.
After wandering all over the Pacific
coabt and failing to do so, he has re
turned. Capt. Friedman, who was engaged
m the mercantile business in this city
at ah early day, is visiting his old
home. He is much surprised and
gratified at the improvement visible on
all sides.
The rains commenced so early
this sejison that the ground has bee'n
! rendered fit to plow. Some farmers
have already started their plows,
while most or the others are getting
ready to do so. A large amount of
new ground will be broken this se;ison.
Every commercial traveler, every
tourist, every man seeking for a new

liveliest town on the coast.
The Dalles Mountaineer says: In
the daily reports of cattle sales as pub
lished in the Drover's Journal of Chi
cago, we find an account of the Bale of
150 head of eastern Oregon beef steers
that took place in that city on the 10th
instant, which reads as follews: "To
Monroe, 150 steers, average 1427 lbs.,
at 5, these cattle were from Oregon,
(but grazed in Kansas." In the same
reports we noticed that a lot ot Texas
cattle averaged 574 lbs. , and brought
3 15, making the difference in favor
of ihe Oregon cattle more than three to
one. The Oregon cattle averaged
$71 35 each, while the Texas cattle
averaged only 21 SO. Wo have no
knowledge of the cost gf taking cattle
to the Chicago market, and therefore
are not prepared to say how much
was realized in this venture.
From the Statesman.
Hon. J. 33. LaDu, just elected to
preside over the lower house of the
territorial legislature, has had much
legislative experience, and is certain
to lill the place creditably. An honest
man, he will be a thorn in the side of
those who have "put up jobs," and
! will resolutely oppose frauds it matters
not by whom they are championed.
The above was written at a time when
we supposed Mr. La Du would be per
manent speaker. "We won't take it
back.
The heavy rains that have pre
vailed nearly all week will most cer
tainly damage grain that is left ex
posed. The rains have eommcned
earlier than usual and find many per
sons unprepared for the vistation.
One of our largest operators in
forms us that shippers have ceased to
buy wheat. He says the uncertainty
about getting the wheat out ot the
j country Iras driven capitalists out of
I the market. Millers are buying wheat
nl small quantities for milling purpo-
ses, paying YiKgVZ cents, jjus is a
decline upon the price paid by millers
l.ior tvnl. Onlv idiiiicit lilts ciiimivmfl
i wheat at $ iJUCvNsoa per cental, in
this market wheat is dull sale at 70
cellts a bushel. The reason of this is
the lack of shipping facilties. The San
Francisco rate for wheat is $1 40 per
bushel, and it will thus be seen that
our prouueers pay at the rate of (0
cents a bushel to get their wheat to
market. That is to say, the farmer
nets 70 cents, and the shippers, com-
,w . ,v ,, nf.
mission me l,. ere., gob uiu emcr u
cents. Rather a heavy tax upon
producers.
Is it not a Fraud.
A number of wealthy Portlanders
have formed a joint stock company with
a capital stock of s:KK),(MKJ for the pur
pose of fitting out an expedition to visit
Coacus Island, near the coast of Central
Africa, for the purpose of searching for
a treasure said to have been deposited
there bv an organized band of Bucca
neers, many rears ago. They get their
information from one who supposes
himself the sole surviver of the band,
and claim to have confidence in the suc
cessful results of the enterprise. Moun
tain Sentinel, Oct. (5.
If a number of wealthy Portlanders
would form a joint stock company
with a capital stock of 300,000 or
less for the purpose of dereloping the
ship building interest of the state; pro
tecting its commercial status, or in
some way tend to benefit some other
portion of Oregon, or its people, the
citizens of the balance of Oregon could
point to Portland capitalists with
some degree of pride, as the people all
orer California point to San Francisco
with that sentiment becoming to pros
perous communities. But we renture
to say that Portland would not stake
75 cents on any renture, and are pre
pared to belierc that the abore report
is a fraud, and not a fact.
Thirty thousand models -were de
stroyed by fire in the Patent Office.
The value of property lost in the ab
stract -will aggregate about 1,500,
000, but as a large class of models can
not, or will not, be replaced, the act
ual loss will probably not reach over
8800,000 or $900,000. The Patent
Office has to its credit with the Treas
ury, over and above its earnings, a
sum sufficient to meet this expendi
ture, but it can not be used without
appropriation of Congress.
