Wednesday, March 6, i-joi THE SUMPTER MINER THAT PANHANDLE BILL. It ,'. Territory Embraced and Other Provisions of the Measure. A press dispatch from Salem says that Governor der Friday evening filed Grace's bill annexing the eastern part of Union county, known as the "panhan die," with the secretary of state without his signature, and thus the bill became a law at midnight. There was great pres sure brought by the people of Union county to influence the governor to veto the bill, but passing with the handsome majority in both houses that it did, Gov ernor Greer could not see his way clear in affixing his veto. A large delegation are here Irom the town of Union and ths final determination of the governor is a keen disappointment to them. The bill for the annexation of the "Pan handle" to Raker county, In substance, is as follews: Section I. That all that portion of the state of Oregon embraced within the fol lowing boundary lines and heretofore a part of Union county, be, and the same is hereby made a part of Maker county, to wit: Commencing at the Intersection of the township line between township six and seven south, range forty east, with Powder river, thence east on said town ship line to the center of range forty-two east, theme north to the township line between townships live and six south, thence east on said township line between townships live and six to the Wallowa county line, thence easterly along the Wallowa county Hue to Snake river, thence up and along Snake river to the mouth of Powder river, thence up and along Powder river to the place of begin ning. Section 2 trinsfers tills territory to the civil and military jurisdiction of Raker county. Section 3 orders the clerk of Union county within thirty days after the act goes into effect to deliver to the clerk of Raker county transcripts of all taxes as sessed, of cases In the Circuit and Probate courts and also to transfer the original pa pers in such cases. Section 4 instructs the county court of Raker county to let to the lowest and best bidder the contract for transcribing the records pertaining to property in this ter rltory. Section 5 provides for the transfer of school records funds, etc. Section 6 requires the treasurer of Ra ker to pay to Union county taxes collected from the assessment of 1000. Section 7 provides for the payment by Raker to Union county in one year the Panhandle's, share of the Union county indebtedness, based on the assessed valu ation of looo. Section 8 authorises the judge of the Kighth judicial district to appoint a com missioner, not a resident of either county, to act with the county judge ot; Raker county In adjusting this Indebtedness. Section 9 presciibes the method to be pursued should either county desire to ap peal for tills adjustment. Prefer Their Old Grievances to the New. The Transvaal seems to be no nearer pacification than it was some months ago, and the prospects for resumption of work in the Witwatersand mines Is still a dis tant one. Our London correspondent writes us that recently some German metal lurgists in theemploy of the South African mining companies, and who are now wait ing in London for a chance to go back to the Rand, held a meeting among them selves and passed an abstract resolution asking tor their old grievances back again, and condemning their folly in peti tioning the British government to Inter fere two years ago. This action proba bly reflects (he feeling of a good many people who are Interested In South Afri can mines. The situation Is serious enough for many investors who have money placed In mining companies and who will most probably have to go an other year without dividends.
