There is a general alarm in Can ada about the large increased em igration this spring from the Dom inion to the United States. Three years of. bad business and. poor crops have completely discouraged a large element of the Canadian population. . Meanwhile news comes of in creased wages and increased busi ness in the states, which agents of the American and Canadian rail way companies are using to the utmost advantage. They ; have men in the counties of Rimonski, Matane and Bonaventure who have induced whole families to embark, bag and baggage, . for the United States. The number of deserted farms are something enormous. Several: hundred more people have emigrated to the newly open ed gold fields of the Rainy Lake region of Ontario, juBt over the border from Minnesota. No white man was settled there a year ago, but a population of nearly 3000 is now claimed. Many shafts are al ready sunk, some over seventy feet deep, and four stamp mills are in operation. A Cattle Pool Formed. Davis Home informs the E. O. that buyers are quite numerous in the Long Creek: and John Day country. They are offering $25 for 3-year-old steers, $15 for cows and from $3 to $12 for yearlings. All the stock men of that region have farmed a pool and stand out for higher ..prices. Pendleton1 buyers have recently been in that , neigh borhood and have paid as high as $28 for ordinary weight cows. Re pent rains have put a different com- plexion on the live stock proposi tion and owneis are feeling greatly encouraged. :, T . The Star Spangled Banner's Author.

Bentley, deputy United States marshal for Eastern Oregor, or, for short, D. U. S. M.E. 0. J. M. Bentley, says the E. O. has receiv ed a letter from Chief Peo, Chief Young Chief and Interpreter John McBean, which is contained in an envelope bearing in a corner card the significant name of "B. F. Beveridge." Just what "beveridge" this is, is not known, but the letter says: "Dear Sir: We saw the com missioner and secretary and have been talking for a week. We have been on pretty hard work. We get a little good news and it makes us happy. We went to the show and seen pretty half-dressed girls. They belong to the Sam T. Jack Company. We think we will start in a couple of days, but can't tell exactly. Yours," etc. These Indian functionaries also BUggest that they are very popular in Washington and have been kept there longer than they intended by reason of the importunity of the society people of the national cap ital. But they will soon be able to tear themselves away and re turn home, the heroes of a hundred bottles. , A Pleasant Surprise.

They have been in Ore gon's metropolis for several weeks and are interested in the purchase and consolidation of Portland's street railways by an English syn dicate. J. M. Lively, of Port Townserid Wash., well-known in this city as the brother of cashier L. D. Lively, of the First National Bank of Ath ein is one of the chief promulga tors of the big deal and the Port land Telegram, in speaking of him and the gigantic deal he is about to accomplish, says editorially: "Lively of character as well as by name is the Port Townsend gent leman who is promoting the pro posed sale of Portland's entire elec tric railway to an English syndi cate. Despite the era of depres sion through which the country is struggling, and in the face of a pro nounced timidity on tho part of foreign capital when confronted by American bids for investment, this active Washingtonian has almost completed the details of a deal which shall transfer about $3,000,- 000 of British money to American hands. To do that in the best of times would be something of a feat, but to do it while the value of all kinds of American securities is threatened with imparimentby the silver craze is a remarkable achieve ment. Mr. Lively says that the English capitalists with whom he is negotiating have long had an eye on the racihc JNorthwest and are anxious to find safe investments here, and that the Portland street railway deal is the largest of sev eral projects for the outlay of Ore gon industries of-a total of $5,000. 000. He expects to return from the east in a few weeks with a coup le of the men whose money he is seeking, and it is hoped that when they arrive here the silvermaniacs and other brakes upon the local wheel of progress will muzzle them selves until the transfer is complet ed. Ihe visitors should be con vine ed that the calamity howlers are a comparatively small and uninnuen tial portion of Oregon's population, and that this state can be depend ed upon to maintain its own credit and contribute to the maintenance of the national honor. ON THE WARPATH. Marshal Gholson Will Enforce the Mildly speaking, marshal Ghol son is warm, and proposes to en force the ordinance that provides for the closing of the saloon busi ness in Athona on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday. The marshal also fays any one caught gambling will be "pulled" and pulled quick, too. In an interview with a Pbess re porter Athena's chief of police says the matter has been "forced on him" and he proposes to do his duty to a dot, let the consequences be what they may, the council to the contrary notwithstanding. He OfOO was of the opinion that if the city had ordinances, they should be en- forced, regardleps of who they hit. - If they were not enacted to be en forced, then they should be repeal ed. . Mr. Gholson stated that as an officer, sworn to do his duty, ne proposes to do it if it costs him bis ob; that it was against the law to jeep saloons open on Sunday, made so by the . prohibitory ordi nance now in effect, and that he pro poses to. enforce it on the coming Sunday, and those coming under the light of this ordinance who dis obeys hia notification, will be up be fore the city recorder Monday morning and fined as provided by ordinance. Mr. Gholson claims to have the voice of two-thirds of the populace of the city on his and the ordinance side of the house and will wage the battle fearlessly. WITHOUT LICENSE. , Alex McKay Asks for Protection From tnewouncn. Athena liquor men are on the qui vive, and tho reasons lor it comes about through the actions of a prominent saloon keeper oi this city. Alex McKay who runs the popular resort on Main and 3rd streets petitioned the city council, at their regular meeting Monday nisht. to Drotect him in his busi ness from parties selling liquor in less quantities than one quart, -without a license from the city council giving them the right to do so. Tli r.ftunfiil inatructod the citv marshal to investigate, and thus the matter now stands. No names ' were mentioned in the petition but it is alleged that a person who wishes to imbibe of spirits furmen ti, in less quantities than a barrel, gallon or even a quart can do the same at more than one place in town, without going over muddy cross-walks to the saloon on the corner. Parties who claim to know are of the opinion that McKay will get the worst of it from those who are interested in the liquor question, if he follows the matter up. The . prevailing opinion seems to bo on the side of McKay, who pays a license quarterly to the city for the privilege of polling liquor, runs an orderly house and merely asks the city council for the protection that is justly due him.
