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

faith in things political, and some

good chance, but now there is anoth

believe that Lionel Richard Web

primaries, and that when this shall

orders have just been received for
the shipment of ten cars of cattie to
Walla Walla, and thirteen to

the cattle market, and it is believed
by stockmen here that the prices
will improve and some of the sur

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 —

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.
