The above extract is not tnken from a record ot barbarous stadia. torial day or mediaeval inquisitor ml torture. Il n stmpiy a press ac count of the execution of one Quiuu, wile murderer, which occured nt Walla Walla last week. Undei our enlightened law, midst the esiheticism of our boasted civiliza tion, a fellow being is dangled bv the neck for twenty miuutes of death torture until the last of hi sinful spirit is forced from his de graded body. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," was the accepted law some centuries gone bve. But if it'is the desire of the people today and we believe it is not that this barbarity of atoning for one death with nnoth cr shall continue as a righteously accented leuality, by all means let the people take cognizance of Mich instances as that above related II we must remain legal murderers bj proxy, let us at least provide more humane methods of life extermina tion than that of slow strangula tion. I , Probably few of us realize that the first expedition through Cen tral Oregon was made but 85 years, ago. In 1824, and again in 1825, Peter Skene Ogden, on behalf ol Hudson's Bay Co., led a party from the Columbia up the Dechutes and across the present homestead coun try to the Snake River on the Idaho line. The diary kept by Ogden on the second trip is published in the December issue of the Oregon His torical Society's Quarterly. Strange indeed will be the contrast ol the country encountered by the sturdy explorer and that soon to be seen by the traveller from the windows of Central Oregon trains. 1)0 on hand tomorrow. It is Bend's last chance to insure n full count. When it comes 10 agriculture, what localitv can beat the .so called "desert" of Central Oregon this year? MANS' IMPORTANT VISITORS. The only actual fatality yel re carded as the result of the late cen mis is that connected with an up rising of Indians in New Mexico, who appear to have been made desperate by the enumerator's at tempt to tabulate them. In our own part of the world there is a lull ia the strenuous storm. Neither Seattle nor Portland is Mire of "just where they stand," and especially the former seems actively preparing a soft place to alight wberrtbe sta tistics show the final sad truth. Of'coune If the Slate Grange Assem bly ihould "resolve" against Republican aucmblr, it will beg the proplc'a pardon for holding one ol it own. Portland Oregon ian. Of course if the Oregontan should direct its pudd'uhead criticisms against those it, deems inconsistent with regard to its holy "assembly," it will beg the people's pardon for its own scatterbiaiued course. The only difference is that the Grunge is rational and consistent and docs not act or pnblisk lies. The Grand Old Party has been "cemented" together, we are told, by a midnight conference at the White House. That's about the proper hour for such a deed. The sooner the band of confederated robbers now masquerading in thr guise of "party regularity" is brok ch beyond possibility of "cement ing" the better it will be for the country. Today Halley's comet comes to earth. That is, we are booked to pass through the tail of the celes tial visitor. Whether the world will survive the experience is prob lematical, predict some learned oi. The world, however, will be past tke crisis tomorrow. If it still exists ef course we will say, "I tM yew so." And otherwise who caret? Se that famous letter of the At-terMy-General relating to the GWk-)tellifiger matter was back daWni. after all. And what of it? TJte President's frank admission ot tke Jet imikeft wwktys of a lot o CMekws, that's all. jTUte leaves un MttM litqwttmi's to which is taw'wore desirable, a monkey or a ciisfcVa. Hotel tiHtcrtaln Scoreof Itend Invest ors. Mayor Rodger, l-nlltusla.it. The past week has brought to Bend a number of notable visitors, many of whom have identified them.M!lvcs with the tOA-n's develop incut through land purchase, nml nil of whom are enthusiastic boost ers. J. W 1-Tcilch, Or C D Ir win, K. B Snuincy utid Roger Sumnev are guests at the Pilot Unite Inn. The Messrs Sumney have just purchased the Hedges homestead alwut a mile and a half s.outh-ciist of town. It is understood that in the nighborhood of $oo an acre was paid for the property, which cmhracese ifo .teres. Mr. French and Dr. Irwin have practically closed a deal whercbv thev will acquire title to 380 acres close inlo town. Definite announcement of the transaction will be made os soon as its details are closed. At the Hotel Bend were J J. Cry- dcrman and G. V. Limner, divis ion and district engineers of the O T. Ry., and Ralph Budd. thr road's chief engineer. On Satur day Mr. Budd went to the locating . .. t camp 01 K. a., ivuney, on me Bend-Vale line, near Aiiiucatrs ranch. Geo. I Rodgers, Mayor of Sa lem, together with Dr. T. C. StniMi came in Irom The Dalles by auto, Mr. Rodgers says he cannot be quoted as too enthusiastic concern ing bend and the adjacent country "Central Oregon, when developed, will equal if not surpiss the Wil lamette Valley in wealth-producing capability. The marvelous state of development of the Bend country, isolated as it has been from transportation, bears remark able witness to the magnitude of its future once the railroads open the way to outside markets. I regard Bend as occupying a truly wonder lul position the pivot of all Cen tral Oregon. With its enormous power possibilities, its timber and agricultutal lands, and its situation on the new railroad map, Bend is destined to become the greatest Or egon city east of the Cascades." Later in the summer Messrs Smith and Rodgers intend to guide into Bend seven! auto loads of .friends. The trip may be made across the mountains. Pleasant Ridge. Slay 16. Professor J.
