1884.
THOSE ODD SECTIOSS.
gThe subject of forcing rich rail
road corporations to let go their
hold on vast bodies of unearned
government land.-;, continues tad clcssj5p), ORi nGlssk4i asva s madfl
agitated throughout the country.
It is high time something w as done
in the matter, and from the ap
pearance of the atmosphere in the
halla of congress,, it looks as
though sometlring would be clone
this session. Senator Safer and
Judge. (jj'ayson evidently mean to
do all they can to restore lands to
' their rightful owners, and if any
thing like justice prevails in the
councils of the nation, their bills
will pass.
Right around the Heppuor coun
try can be seen the full force of
. . . o .. . ...
the farce kept up for the benefit of
the rtorthern Pacific Railroad Co
Although the compnny has not
laid a rail within 75 miles of Ilepp
ner, yet right here are thousands
of acres of good land reserved for
liie corporation and kept out of the
dmndH of the rightful owners, the
settlers. And when a settler pre
empts on an even 'sect ion he has to
pay double the usual government
price, just because the adjoining
odd section has been granted to,
but never earned by, the N. P. R. II.
Co. Thus the 'settler hot only pays
the cash for his own quarter sec
tion, but also pays for the adjoin
ing quarter -section which has been
given to the company. It is just
and proper that this farce was end
ed, and the L-ffid was rested to its
rightful owuerk And as a matter
of justice, everyopttlejiiliis
remote distance from tiie Northern
Pacific Railroad lias paid $2.50 an
acre for his laud, and double price
for his filing fees, should have half
of 'his money refunded.
' Ileppner has been for some
time past enjoying a most beautifully-mismanaged
system of mail
facilities. Mail from below, that
should be put off nt Blalock, and
oirg'lit "to roach here in ten or
twelve hours from the railroad, is
carried past more than half the
time. Sometimes it takes a trip
up to Montana, and sometimes it
goes up the Baker City branch and
returns via Pendleton on the stage.
The Portland daily papers often
do not reach hero for five days
after publication, and frequently
several issues come at once. Last
week's Weekly Oregonian is al
ready five days behind, and the
previous number was live clays get
ting here. Theso delays and mis
carriages are not the exception, but
nre, and for some time have been,
the rule, and some of the well
paid officials of the government
had better bo applying a remedy.
A correspondent of the Weston
Leader truly says: It certainly
looks as if Oregon might take a
hint from the example of Wash
ington. The legislature of the lat
ter has organized new counties
whore the territory embraced madjSt
it expensive and inconvenient for
its citizens to attend to county
matters. One county was formed
whose population it is claimed is
less than GOO. Just think what a
splendid county could be cut oft'
each end of Old Umatilla! It
does seem strange that any in
fluence could be so strong as to
overcome the self-interest of over
two-thirds of the citizens interes
ed. It is an evil that muss nm
will bo remedied.
-
An odd quarter-section of so
called railroad land, lying west of
Ileppner and insido of the indem
nity limits, was proved up on be
fore Squire Mallory lust Monday.
Notice of intention to prove up
was regularly published Li the
Gazette, but the representatives
of the railroad compnny ma.le 110
appearance to object to the pro
ceedings or coiiiiWiUJie proof. The
q papers in the CHsefiave been for
warded through the proper chan
nels, and it is to be hoped that pat
ent win promptly issue, as it cer
tainly should. The railroad com
pany has really no more equitable
claim to theso indemnity or lien
lands than has the mayor of South
Salem.
The word-painter of the Astorian
says: The sun that sank behind
the hill last eve wont down in a
crimson blaze whoso glowing flam
was as brilliant as though
thousand ocean isles were Riming.
The scarlet sky grow darfrer r.nd
the brilliant colors gradually faded
to gray, while in the east the rising
moon silvered the waves of the
Columbia with a wavy, tremulous
light The Washington shore,
seven miles away, seemed scarcely
a mile off, and the stars glittered
in the frosty air.

who have heretofore had charge of
the works be summarily dismissed,
there would be some souse to it,
and some prospect of the consum
mation of the work in a reasonable
