We al e el ail to be able to an nounce the fact that The I&illes Boardof Trade has sent resolu tions to Washingtoi? showing why our so-called railroad lands should he immediately turned over to set tler's, to whom they belong. And it is also a healthy sign to see in the Portland Oregonian a sentence "reading like this:. "The portion of the N. P. land grant lying cin Or egon, ought, undoubtedly, to be re leased at once, since there is no probability that the road wall ever be built from Wallula to Portland, nor is there any need of it."

Mr. PSkulezie addressed the meetjjng, saying that the Northern Pacific railroad coiifyRftSBwns labor ing under great financial embar rassment, and ought to have all the laud it wanted in this or any other country. He had been suck ing the teat of the compaif,' for lo! these many yeaix, and there was no reason Avhy the people's government should not give the company all the land it wanted, so that he and others could continue sucking on forever. Loud ap plause in the pit, amidst which the speaker doublet up the swallow tail of hi3 broadcloth coat and sat down on it, beingacareful that no vulgar soil came in contact with his aristocratic person. Mr. Hannibal II. Hireling arose from his seat on a nail-keg and of fered the following: "Whereas, Jbe Northern Pacific railroad compaiifovnnts the privi lege of clinging Settlers $7.50 per acre for aliffie odd section dirt in the Heppner Hills; and Whereas, A corporation ought to ha-ve anything it wants; and Whereas, The company threat ens to move its valor-tank tnftn JUnsworth if we don't stand in; therefore , be f Resolved, That our politicians a-t Washington be iquested to givif the rcii-lnoacl company anything it wants, whether it has earned it or not.

One source of joveuuy"has boon cut oft' from the Oazkttb which ia bidlv crippling its treasury. Last summer, wheu many pressing debts, hung over the office, several small schemes calou latel to take advantage of the weakness of humau nature had to be resorted to raistwtljf wind. There was one little dodjtf that seldom failed. When the paper owed a dollar to some one and had no dollar to pay with, a brief itviu w as immediately written to the effect that Mr. P. L. Paine liad presided at the church organ with egso, grace and dig nity. And as sure as fate he would be around to buy some extra copies of thai paper to send to friends iiiotlte Ea-xtJu that way some man got a dollar he was justly owed, and Mr. Paine, (whom Hquire Mallory has s:id was a thief, a cur and a pettifogger, got a little noft soap. But now, strange to say, al though lie gets free nuU every week, lie buys no extra copies to send to Eastern friends, and the (Uzcttb treasury is con siderably crippled. THOSE STOLEN CHICKENS. Thb'Sweat Hotjhf., 1io:ve liocs, Feb. C, '84. Ed. Gazette: My attention w as drawn to an article in your columns signed "Plymouth Kock," wherein the statement bachelors who lire in a sweat-Louse .was made mat a oompauy or. young Bob street were the only people in town who had not had chickens stolen from them for the reason that they had no chickens, eto. It always has been customary among the wicked to make slurring remarks about the good and righteous who, shunning the evil ways of worldly, wicked people, devote their time to good works and the gaining of a glorious re ward in the great hereafter. Because the young men of the town council do not participate iu tue wild orgies that curse our devoted ton and meet in secret conclave for the sober dis cussion of scripture and tha m ral im provement of our community, the blas phemous,' sinning element hiive even resorted to publishing inuendoes vague ly suggesting that we would sully the goodname of our temple by stealing chickens. If the author of tlfct defamatory article was known, legal redress would immediately be sought for this attempted defamation of the character of the S ver.t lloflflfjpolony by huiug for about 10,000 daimiges. q The town council at their own expense and by their sole efforts, have removed an ornameutal edilice from its heretofore hidden site and moved it far up on the hillside in a commanding position and placed upon it thejnemorial sign of our honored rniiyor aiKrtownslto-owner th it might remain there a "thiny of beau ty and a joy forever." Last summe when partially ripe wiitsrmelons threat ened to cause flu epidemic among our children, the town council remove! all cause for fear. These are onlv a few of the many good works I could rnenlioi and it is onlywiho basest ingratitude in anyone claiming to have the good of our town at heart to attempt to sully the morale or inn town council. lU'iAa.

AiilnwH, Tin HorHEwiri, Iohestor N. Y. A Nicely-Mixed Case. A legal case of considerable interest was decided as we went to press last week. It sacms that Lade CharlJb Cochran had a note against Bro. Welch of Thorn creek, the energetic hypocrite who allows his daughter to suffer for I fool. Charlie sent this note for collec tion to Squire AllloryTThe squire lost it. Dave llerren had a mortgage on Welch's property. Squire Mallory told Dave that he thought there was property enough there to satisfy both mortgage p.nd note if things were properly han dled, and if Dave would remove his mortgage from file, he, the squire, would a;ree to make Dave's mortgage good. Trusting to the squire's word of honor, and not drearuii! of any sharp practice, Dave removed his mortgage from record, oiid jiffljd)jf r to the squire. The latter tneu went ahead and sued on the note he had lout, and had some of Welch's horses sold, but not subject to Dave's mortgage, as the law and justice called for. After waiting a reasonable tiin, Dae went after fiqivre Mallov for the portion Lis mortgago called for of the proceeds of the sale, but the squire explained that after deducting Ids fees and costs he had turned jver what was left to Charlie Cochran, ;id remarked that they bpAskft tk-ir money, and now Dave could Pbi;,Pl)ave re minded the squire of his agreeiwri.t to make the mortgage gooa, but the souVi i'au lorgotiL'ii liii HMiiuo unv buiui ureo- ment, and repudiated it. Disgusted with such sharp practice (to use a mild term), Dave took the squire's advice about get ting his n)it9back4y attaching the sold property. Of course Hqr.ire Mal lory thought this could not be done, and that Dave was badly left. Acting on bad legal advice, Charlie Cochran, who. had bought in -noma of the horses, gave bonds to striud suit for the rights of property. The case was tried before Squire Julius Keithley, and was decided in favor of$)ave. Governor Ilea, who acted as counsel for Dave Herren, com pletely wound up Mr. Pettifogger Paine, couusel for Uncle Charlie. So Charlie Cochran had to satisfy Dave's mortgage, and now Charlie ought to get in and sue Squire Mallory to make himself whole. And Governor Ilea ought to get in and sue Petty Paine (whom Squire Mallory has called a cur;Qfor compensation for giving , him first" lessons iu law. In speaking of the ' agreomeut with Dave, which he afterward repudiated, the ssquiBirci)iujjked that lie believed lie was "really geiung forgetful. People who put their business into tho hands of Petty Paine or Squire Mallory can judge by the above facts of how they are liable to get it handled. Ilivcr Kancli. Messrs. J. W. Oilmore and his son Vf have a f na stock ranch near the Colum bia, and two miles west of Alkali. , They have already iiX) acres under fence, in which are pastured 100 head of cattle and HO head of horses, and have 40 tons of wheat hay on hand for occasions when feeding becomes necessary.
