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

State Attorney-General conflict of

Agent W. P. Lawrence, of the O.

orders have just been received for
the shipment of ten cars of cattie to
Walla Walla, and thirteen to
Seattle, and two cars of sheep to
Chicago. 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 —

astonishing recuperative powers, so
much so that he has already done
some newspaper work His pro­
gress has been so favorable that it
is believed he will be in harness
again within a few months.
The career of Colonel Mitchell in
land affairs ba« been long and re­
markable. After four or fiye years
service as the official shorthand re­
porter of the famous Court of Com­
missioners of the Alabama Claims,
the court which distributed the
fifteen million dollars wrenched
from England on account of the de­
predations of the Confederate cru-
sier “Alabama,” Mr Mitchell be­
came private secretary to the sec­
retary of the interior, Carl Schurz.
While in that capacity he was ap­
pointed special agent of the depart­
ment and with Gen. Williamson,
then commissioner of the general
land office made a tour of investi­
gation of the Pacifio coast, raising
havoc amongst many wrong doers
in land matters Being impressed
with the country he decided to set­
tle in the Pacific Northwest, and
was appointed chief clerk of the U.
S. Land Office at Walla Walla
While in that position, he was made
Land Agent of the Oregon Improve­
ment company, that company hav­
ing purchased from the Northern
Pacific a large tract of lands, com­
prising the major portion of what
is now Eastern Washington. When
he had completed the work of or­
ganization. Mr Villard offered him
the position of chief clerk of the
Northern Pacific Land department,
and subsequently added the assis­
tant land commissionership of the
Oregon and California land depart­
ment. These positions he filled
when he accepted the position re­
cently vacated
His services with the government
land affairs covered six years, with
the Oregon Improvement company
and the Northern Pacific ten years
and with the Valley and Cascades
Mt. Wagon road company, IS years,
in all a continuous and important
connection with lands of nearly
forty years. Is it any wonder he
would want to rest? Each position
required capacity above the ordina­
ry, and was permeated with temp­
tation and full of opportunity; still
M. Mitchell is a poor man to day.
He early made it a rule not to take
advantage of his position and has
stuck to it much to his credit but
detrimental to his pocket book.
The company parts with Mr.
Mitchell most regretfully. The
letter of acceptance of the resigna
tion pays him a deserved tribute
for his scrupulous care of the in­
terests of the company’s affairs.
