The Wallowa Count v organization will not hold a formal meeting for the pur pose of appointing,b:it delegates w ill go from here to The Dalles. Among the vital subjects for discus sion will be -the government s proposi tion to lease the public ranges. While tho Kurkett bill was under considera tion by Congress last winter a commit tee cf western stockmen was named by the president to meet with the public lands committee of Congress and a ses sion was held in Washington. The preposition will again be brought ilpV for the ca3tevn people have the be- lief that western stockmen are being given Something for nothing hy tho" gov ernment, and there is a wide demand that charges bo made for using the range. It seems impossible for the western senators to block the measure and if eo it is up to tho stockmen to set that the measure as passed is as well adapted to tho conditions as possible. At The Dalles meeting this subjec will be discussed, and some lino of ac tion agreed upon so that the Oregon congressional delegation car. have some tiling to go by. Among other feature connected with the proposition of leas ing is the question of whether or not the ranges may bo fenced, the term of years for which leases may bo made leasing prices, etc. Aside from the above subject th naming of the new advieory board-for the different reserves m tho state w ill come before the convention at The Dalles.

With great shipments of wheat. hog, cattle and other Western pro ducts adding every day to the debt that city owes to !.li- West, the mouej is bound to come. The only reason there has not been a wide-spread panic is the good sense of Western people, who know their hanks are sound as a dollar and started no runs. New York has tried to hog all the money of the country hut the attempt will only work harm to that city. The governor lias eontMiued the legal holidays this week and the people of the state are helping by using checks in the transaction of all business where possible. The Wallowa county banks are open every day and the deposils are growing. Willi big sums accumu lating to the credit of Wallowa county people there is no disposition to be come) panicky in this neck of woods. Ovfcr $3000 worth of hogs were sent to market from Enterprise this week. The only regret in the local sltua tioh Is tho stopping of work on the railroad.
