And now there comes flitting ath­ wart the mutable concave of the political azure, like the handwrit­ ing on the wall to those who have in cognamen been there before, the ambitious shadow of another Guber­ natorial possibility, which, his friends say, will grow and grow un­ til, Titanic in proportion, its being will asume a galaxy that will ec­ lipse the flickering luster of all the satellites that glimmer and darkle in the great vault of politics, says the Telegram. His title is County Judge and his name is Lionel Rich­ ard Webster, and his fame extends from the elevated railroad over Columbia Slough to the line of de- tnarkation between Oregon and Cal­ ifornia, aye, even through the un­ watered stretches where grain grows and sage brush flourishes among rockbreaks and fertile valleys of the Island Empire. His politics are such that he will suffer on revulsions of conscience when he casts his vote for T. Roosevelt, who lives in Wash ington. Already mention has been made of the aspirations and possible poli­ tical future in the Governorship of the Honorable Benj imin Paton Cor elius, resident of the Municip­ ality of Hillsboro and Mayer there­ of, and of Chas. A Johns, who practices law in the countyseat of Baker County, both of analagous faith in things political, and some there are who still these stand a good chance, but now there is anoth­ er contingency in the party, who believe that Lionel Richard Web­ ster will be nominated at the direct primaries, and that when this shall become an adjunct of political his­ tory, he will poll a vote that will reverse the Waterloo of things in re George Earle Chamberlin and the State Attorney-General conflict of 1892, when the latter was hired by the state as its lawyer and Lionel Richard Webster was not.

This marks the turn in the cattle market, and it is believed by stockmen here that the prices will improve and some of the sur­ plus stock can begotoff the ranges, the indications are now for a fair winter, and with ordinary weather there will be feed enough to carry the stock through without hardship, although most ranchers will be glad to sell some of their herds if reasonable prices can be had — Baker City Democrat. a T i WILSON & ASHTON Fireproof building 100x600 feet, 150 feet two stories in height.
