V ¿tk y Luge ne Guard Noie and Comment. S . rURDAY ............ NOVEMBER 21 The early fall of three feet of snow in the mouutuius about Baker City is not only surety of gold for placer miners but a stroke of fortune to growers of Lay. In anticipation of a bard winter stockmen are buying up all the hay they can get. One rancher sold bis ricks of hay (they stack it in long ricks up there, hundreds of feet long in instances) for the neat [sum of 918,0110. Of course the hay ran up into the thousands of tons to bring that figures. I i t The Menace of the Brown Man. In his address at the opening of the annual convention of tbe American Federation of Labor, President Goiupers devoted considerable utteii- tioii to the subject of immigration, in which he sounded a note of warning against the admissiou of Chinese, under any klud of a pretext, into our insular possessions, aud pointed out the grave danger lurking in unre The writer in a trip through Klam etricted Japanese immigration into the mainlands and insular territory of ath county several years ago saw bay the United States.

The very gcud news comes from Chicago in tbe press dispatches that “Lolitn Armour, whom Dr. Lorenz, of Vienna, treated for hip disease, is so far recovered that she is able to dance.” How in the world did they ever get along when there whs no telegraph to keep us iuformiMl of daily doings, or monied aristocrats to be told about? We are liable to be supercilious referring to European aristocracy, not so however when people whose money came from hogs or other ventures of trade or manu facture are Liougbt to our notice. Good Americans cannot help loving inillic nuires. We nil help to niHke them, which probably acoouuta i for our interest in this late peiiod American product. Su let Lolita dance on one leg aud the other, and we loyal Americans will rejoice in the restored hip of the I'orkopoliB heiress of millions that makes her juiupiug about possible.

Galloway was the youngest member, but nevi i t Helens one of the levclest headed of the fit) men who made up tbe bouse. Mr. Galloway realizes the mistake the legislature made iu the passage of tbe new tax law, and suggests that the members of the legislature rectify their mistake at their own expense. 11« I ihh uddressed the following self xplauatory letter to the Oregonian: If it is neccessary that the legisla or« bo called in extra stssian to -traighten out the tax law tmgie, tbe iuty of the members is plain. We ire all respousil le for the mistake, lotli those of us who voted for tbe bill and those of us who voter! against it. The former did not know that the measure was defetive, and the ’atter were probably in a similar state of mind. If auy one knew and kept silence, allowing tbe majority to blunder in ignorance, bls respon sibility is by no means lessened. If called, the proper thing for us t > do would be to remedy cur mistake and adjourn, accepting no compensation, either per di»ui or mileage, for the service. We would pay for our own blunders. If we meet under such conditions the business in hand will lie attended to with expedition; there will be no hanging on to monkey with other subjects. There need very few clerks. The expense of such h se sion would be small, indeed. We can afford to do this much to put things right, and such ia our duty. it is h popular supposition that whenever It rains t‘ie farmers are es pecially pleased, and that the country is always CHliing for[niln, fields being iu a ata'e of chronic thirst.

Booth, of the Booth- Kelly Lumber Company, in an inter view yesterday confirmed the Guard’s recent report that a long period of idleness would soon begin in the nu merous logging camps conducted throughout the county by this big company. The Guard was informed by reliable parties that it was a general report that such would be the case in a short time aud we gave publicity to the report. Ou Oct. 27 the Guard said: ‘‘A number of prominent loggers, who have been in the city since the Weudliug mill closed dowu, say that it is reported that this is the begin ning of a long period of idleness among the loggers employed by the dootb-Kelly Company, and that the Weudliug mill, instead of commenc ing operations again wihiu ten days, as stated by the company officers her«', will not be started up again for mt ny weeks and perhaps mouths. They .o not state the reason for this, but \ e thing which they claim points that «ay, is that all the men iu the iogpi scamps adjacent to Wendling have ueeu laid off.” Always taking issue with the Guard on all subjects, not caring whether it is right or wrong in its statements, a morning paper took the pains to deny the truth of the report printed by the Guard, but it now comes out and confirms said report. CAMPS WILL CLOSE SATURDAY. Senator Booth has given out that the company has ordered all its log ging camps to close on Saturday of this week, aud he says be does not know when they will start again. He says the Coburg and Spring field mills will run until tbe holi days when they will close if tbe car famine is not relieved by that time. The Wendling mill has been closed tor several weeks and the foremen and superintendent discharged. The mills at Saginaw have also shut down. Senator Booth says the company’s business has been almost ruined by tbe car shortage. A great deal of Laue county’s aud Eugene’s prosperity is due to the im mense operations by the Booth-Kelly Company, and it is to be deplored that the extensive logging camps and mills are to De closed down.
