The Umatilla Indiin chiefs Peo
and Young Chief have teturned
from Washington, where they in
terviewed Secretary Hoke Smith
and Indian Commissioner Brown.
The chiefs report that the secretary
promised to pay them the $200,000
due from the sale of lands in cash,
instead of building houses tor
them.
Tub two fishing boats employed
of Port Orford Inst week turned over
2680 pounds of red fish to Winson
& Co., besides catching about 800
pounds of several otter varieties,
such as ling, halibut and snap
pers. The largest halibut caught
weighed 100 pounds. This new in
dustry will give profitable empoly
ment to a number of men during
the summer.
The ..miners of Southern Oregon
are doing their full share toward
increasing the circulating medium.
More gold was taken out last win
ter than usual in spite of the scar
city of water, because the claims
are being better developed by the
perseyering labor that has been ex
pended upon them. All honor to
our miners their "staying" quali
ties are worthy of emulation!
The Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Post says that the
b.okers representing the Morgan
Rothschild syndicate have been
paying a premium for the refined
gold output of the private refineries
throughout the west during the
last two months and thit they are
accumulating fine gold at the rate
of. 2,300,000 to $3,000,000 per
month, which represents fully two
thirds of the entire gold output of
the United States.
It is stilted that fifty young wo
men have just graduated from the
r' woman's law class of the uni
versity of New York and received
. their diplomas. The class was un
tier the direction of the Woman's
Educational Society. It is not the
intention ol all these graduates to
enter upon the active practice of
i tl.e profession; most of them hav
1 ing pursued the study for luca-
tinnal purposes. The purpose of
". the society directing these legal
studies is to give intelligent direc
' tion to the efforts of women to in
, liuenoe legislation.
Senator Mitchel of Oregon, in
, a fecent interview, said:- '! am
'; afraid the democratic party will
n make concessions to the silver men
; in the platform adopted at their
s next national convention. If it
does, after all its past mistakes, It
will sweep the country. If neither
party gives silver the recognition it
deserves ft new party will spring
np that will sweep the country like
wild-fire. I think the result of the
-Denver conference will be to make
;he republican .party realize more
J'ully the gravity of the situation;
j.nd may lead to its adopting a
nore liberal policy .toward silver at
lie next Republican national con
'ven tion."
Congressman Subey, while in
t cbanon was enthusiastic in his
sraise of Senator Mitchel; and was
-equally as plain in his condemna
tion of ex-Senator Dolph. The first

THE SCHOOL PICNIC.
At 8:30 a. ni,, lust Saturday the pu
pils and teachers of the Lebanon Pub'
lie uuhool assembled at the school
house, and after having fully organ
teed ourselves, started to the top of the
Ridgnway Butte for a picnic. At 10:00
a. in., the line of uiurcb was formed,
with the band as leaders, followed by
the school flag and Hie implls of
roams 1, 2, S and 4, with their respec
tive teachers. Marching down Mulu
street and Bridge avenue to the bridge,
we halted and listened to a few selec
tions by the band, whloh were followed
by three cheers in honor of the flag.
Breuklug ranks, we then started up
the Butte and reached a pleasant spot
whioh we nanted "Eutaw Sprlugs,"
here we quenched our thirst with the
the sparkling waters. The band play
ed another selectluu, we viewed the
beautiful valley below, with Its newly
plowed ground, and beautiful green
fields. After giving three cheers in
honor of the baud, we left "Eutaw
Springs" and from here forward, ropes
were used to help some of the Utile
ones up the steep uscent. We then
weut through the "Wilderness" to
"Btony Point," and after a short test,
continued our journey, reaching the
topatl&SO m.
On one side of us we could see the
the beautiflul snow-capped peaks of
the Three Bisters, and a portion of the
rjautlani river, as It made a bend
around the mountain; while ou the
other side there stood open to our view
the cities of Lebauou, Albany, Soda
vllle, Bpicer and Tullman, and the sur
rounding valley. Shortly after rescu
ing the top, the baud played a few
selections, and soon all were eating
their luncheon. After lunch was
served, the following program was
rendered:
Bong, America.
Recitation, Gertie Sharp.
" , Blella Mtwsholder.
Bong, By the chart class.
Recitation, Cliflord Heat tie.

Selection by the bund.
Becilatiuti, Eiuuia Boslar.
" , Dot Harris.
" , Pauline Adams.
" , Gertie Davis.
" , G. H. W ilkes.
This was the first Instance in which
the top of the Butte had been reached
y au orgauized party with educa
tional interest in view;, we therfore,
dedicated the Butte to education and
built ou its crest, a monument of stone.
The first stoue was laid by Mr. Hiud-
niau, who was the oldest person pre
sent, and tiie second, by i.oroa Tay
lor, who was the youngest. Then
every one present placed a stone to the
monument, aud inside of It was placed
a jar containing a eard from each de
positor; bearing the date aud bis name
(with occasionally abort historic
notes,) aud a piece of music from the
Lebauou baud. The first card depos
ited bears the inscription "G. H.
VVIIkes,Priuuipai of theLebauou schools

dedicated to education by the Public
school children, May 11, 18Ud, aud the
the last card beam the Inscriptlou in
the monument the seal was closed,
"Closed at it o'clock 3 minutes p. in.,

lue Prof, and Miss Minute Thomp
son then lifted over the receptacle the
Heavy covering stuue which rests
above it, aud tiie niouuuiuut was
rounded up by the depusitolasloiiefrom
each of the parly. Three lusly cheers
were given fur the endurance of the
monument aud its memory, the baud
played a stirring selection and we dis
persed for a rumole doivu the uiouul-

The street May noon was bright aud fresh,
not a Cluuu was in the sk y.
We marcheu again on the olu school walk,

The Professor's call for attention came, rfell
vknown to was its ringing rhyme.
The band playeu up a meuy air,

people stood, tneu hast to the river

The stars and stripes were at our head,
the baud played in time;
Sweet voices echoed tal-io-hu,
the lulls threw back the chime.
The Willumette valley helore us spread
kept widening to our view,
Until we reached the mountain crest, when
our inarch to a halt, we drew,
We viewed the scene with thoughts of Joy
while we stood in the uuner air:
And gazed on the valley that spiead beneath
with helds and cities liiir:
For in all the world is no lairer spot tplie
Thau herein the valley of the Wjllainetto
. where it greets the tiantiaiu.
Our country's Hag from a lofty hr basked
Its colors in the lireeze.
We spread our lunthons out by groups and
uuieu ueuesiu the trees.
We looked on nature's enduring forms,
auu trateu luvin o er SgUIU.
Till awed with the changes Hint come aud
go and toy, with the lives of men.
We looked to the Bun, it seemed to smile,
and kiss us with ilfrliirlir.i
its oeaiiis seemed glad to greet us there
uoon the mountain lii-ono.-
Then to our Joy it seemed to say,
"Tiie past I'll speak to you,
Of Oregon, of its fair clime and of the way
n grow,
'Long centuries this gloljo of yours bos
turned belnre n,v fmw
I ve seen ils surlace rie an fall mountains
. and seas change plaee
Yea, the very peak you are standing on, for
centuries was a sea,
Aud I well recall when the waters moved
v ww ao uie nt wet."
'Three hundred fifteen years sgo,
llruke sailed on the m
Vied ilmt Ue land of Oregon white round
the globe went he.
He praised the land he'd seen so far, spoke
ol lis sail amllpliniA!
'Till others followed In his path to make

'One hundred aud three years ago on this
eleventh day of May,
A ship turned into a river's mouth at the
will otTaptiu Grey. i
He named that stream Columbia the name
it bears to day,
And explored It to dashing water-traits
wiiere ne lounu uie trout at play."
"Bitt only a hint will I give you now,
more when vnu climlt siraln :
Rise, rise from the fog of a thriftless life
inspire your leuow men;
Bweet light you'll lind in the upper air and
the music of a Heavenly wurd,
I'll remember the climb you've nude to day
and wait for your voice to be aeaid."
Then our voices rang in the mountain ari,
our souls were tilled with new Ikrht
As our literary program of speech and song
reiturvu un ine ueigin.
With bright green fields before us spread
and behind us peaks of snow;
The sweet May flowers beneath our (eetand
the silvery stream below.
A mound of stone to mark the spot to
educator's name,
We built with three hundred busy hands
all toiliug Willi an aim.
The tint stone Mr. Uindman laid, he's lived
since '23.
The second Loren Tnvlor placed,
a little lad of three.
The mound complete our names within and
our day's work was done
We left that spot with high resolve a Useful
course to run.
Time may besiioll the work we've done
hurl down the mountain's side.
But while we live we work as one,
and constant as the tide.
We leave theVpot, its sacred ground to us
who've elimhed its crest.
And now we look for higher peaks and
pray our work be blessed.
May our future hold an upward course
and ever even run,
And the sweetest joys that fall on earth
may they fall ou Lebanon,

THE QUADRANT LAND CASE.
Southern Pacific Appeals From Judge
Bellinger's Decision.
United States District Attorney
Murphy has filed notice of appeal to
the United States supreme court of the
case known as the quadrant land case
of the United States against the Ore
gon Central & Oregon California rail
road companies, to recover several
thousand acres of land near Forest
Urove, The lands are occupied by set
tiers and the secretary of the Interior
held them to be government lands.
The United States was required to sue
the arilroads to quiet title for the set
tlers, and Judge .Bellinger decided for
Ihesetilersand that the lands belonged
to the government, subject to the set
tlers' rights. The case was appealed
be the Southern Pacific company,
which now owns the grant of the two
other railroad companies, and Justice
Fuller, "sitting in the United States
circuit com t of appeals of the Ninth
district, reversed the secretary -of the
Interior And Judge Bellinger, aud held
the lands to be the property of the
railroad company. It would not be
proper to allow the settlers to be dis
possessed while there is still another
chance, consequently the appeal to the
highest tribunal in the land.
The controversy is a peculiar one.
The Oregon A California company
was to build a rnad from Portland to
Astoria and built from Portland to
Forest Grove. The Oregon Central
built a line from Forest Grove to a
point on Yamhill river. Each com
pany, by its land grant, was allowed
twenty miles of laud along the line of
the road as far as constructed, measur
ing in any direction. Running south
the Oregon & California railroad grant
ends at rarest Urove and the Oregon
Central railroad grant begins at Forest
Grove and runs west to the Yamhill
river At Forest Urove, the Southern
Puciflc company, when it acquired the
other roads, drew a circle and connec
ted the twn land grants, aud claim is
laid to ull of the kind within this cir
cle, which makes two-thirds of a
quadrant. The government says the
railroad is not entitled to Hie land
within the circle. Ex.
Some one broke into the Cottage
Grove juil a few days ago in an at
tempt to release a prisoner, but
failed as the prisoner was locked
up in a cell.
Tha Oregon Pacific is now haul
ing about 10000 feet of logs daily
to the Gates sawmill. Messrs. R
& Scanlon do the logging, buying
the timber of John Buttorworth.
Frank Blackerby of Baudon, ten
years old, is laid up from the vich
ous attack of a cow he was driving
to pasture. His collarbone was
dislocated, and lie was otherwise
bruised up.
There ate up immense number of
canes in the Grand Ronde valley,
aim in some instances iarmeis
have put boys on horses to herd
the birds nffthe fields; In some
localities the cranes are so numer
ous that they resemble from a dis
tance herds of sheep.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to leant that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages und that is Catarrh. Hall's
Catarrh Cute is the only positive cure now
known in the medical farterulty. Catarrh
being a constitution a disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby distroying the foundation
of the diseasa, and gives the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
