THE GAZETTE. HEPPNER, THTJIiSDAT, APRIL 5, '8d The 8e:il fisheries of Eehring sen have ' caused venturesome sealers to seek tbat territory tar tlieir fiel.l of operations, with a full knowledge of tbo faot tbat the Alaska Fur company claims full con trol of thosn proEtiible wr.ters through a ltase given to tliem by tbe U. S. sev eral years Ago. The letu,e waa given when Botitwell, uf Masa., vrr.s secretary of the Treasury, and was evidently in tended to only inoludo tbo ooast within three miles o' land, but all bis succes sors down to and including Mr. Manning and Fan-child, have helJ. that their olaim to the entire American portion of the Bearing sea wns valid and have sus tain this decision by ordering revenue ciutere to sieao all sealers not in tbo em ploy'of the Fur company, and following their vocations in these waters. A large fleet of sealers nre preparing to leave Victoria, B. C, nud Ban Francisco for these fishing grounds, uud if canyht there is no doubt but tbo vessels with the cargoes will be forfeited, although there seems to be but little law for such proonednre. The owners of sealing craft on the Paoifio coast have petitioned, and 'have been referred from one department to another until they have grown tired. The Alaska ollloials favor the Fur com pany, as they aro too discreet to quarrel with them. DcitiNCi the recent snow storm in the eaot, a groat deal of troublu was experi enced with the different boating devices used for warming oars, and about the on ly kind that was in tha least satisfactory was the oommon stove. Wo know from personal experience tbat tbeao pipe heating apparatus aro a f ruud iu exces sive cold weather, and it i really better to tiike ohanccs of being burned up in a wreok than to be frozen to death by one of these patent heaters. Tbe improved form of stoves, properly secured, has proved, in every instance, to be perfeotly safe, and if there is thought to bo dan ger in the above, it would appear that in this great era of invention some one would hit upon a stove beater tbat will not scatter fire, and with extinguishing devices that would immediately put out fire in case of an accident to tbe coach. Mn. Stkotheh M. STonir.jr.A.anit, of In diana, has been appointed commUnioner of the general land ofiloe, vice A. J. Sparks, resigned. Mr. Htoekalngor was bom and raised in Indiana, and is a self made man. He owes his position in life to his own toil and industry. Ho was for two terms a member ot the Indiana Htuto senate, and a rneiubor ot tbo forty seventh and forty-eighth contji'CHH.

The first instance of a United Ktates grand jury finding a criminal indict ment for violation of tbo iutcr-state commerce law occurred nt Itismark, Da kota, a few days ago. Win. Sanderson, an agent for tbo Northern I'aoiflo nt Val ley Oity, was bound over on complaint of Kdgar W. Wylio for refusing to fur nish oars to Wylio for the shipment of grain last October, although vaiioUH other parties were furnished with curs at that time. Tlie oaso is now on trial, and tho proceedings will bet watched with groat interest. A criminal indict ment is a weapon tbat shippers have rot made use of in prevent inn - disor'niiua-" tion on the part of ruilroads and their agents. The SandorHon case will there fore mark a precedent of rent iuipor tauoe. In cwtTiiiBuriNo; to tbo right of way fund, every citizen of Morrow county should consider the direct bonelltu de rived therefrom. What one is uotually worth cute no figure in this matter. 01 all seotiuiu ot Morrow county that will bo benefitted by a railroad, in the farm jug portion. Tha value of their farm will be inoroased because of the prox imity to market, and this market will be of groat value to them as a place to ruadily dispose ot all their products. Therefore it is reasonable to suppose that those who will reoeive the greatest benefit from the railroud wilt bo willing to stand thoir share iu sootiriui' it with in tho borders of our oounty.

Very pleasant weather since tho light snow storm of Friday. ' Some of the fall grain that was very badly frosted is looking much bet ter than was expected. - The ground is getting dry and the farmers would rejoice to see a good r.'Jn.

M. 0." sent to tho HitnchjniM -Made, in which Mr. Stanley's namo was mentioned. The letter was merely a boast that the peo ple of Eight Mile Centre had been able to get along with their schools without a visit from the County Superintendent. It mentioned tho fact that a County Su perintendent had never been' at Eight Mile, Centre seliool house to visit the school. 1 know this to be the c:iso. Ov er four years school has been carried on and no superintendent ever visited ono term, so you see merely mentioning that fact does not mean much. Then the re njjirks were wound up with this expres sion:' "That there were voters at Eight Mile Centre whoso votes would count at tho election.','...; That remark will not in juro Mr. Stanley, for if ho proves him self to be tha right man in the right place, Eight Mile precinct will vo'o for liiin. and then ho w ill bo glad their votes 'do count. But enough of this. E. M -0. should be careful about steppiug 011 tho toes of .county "ollicers, for sometimes they wear very. tight boots and if any one treads on their toes it pinches them and onuses them tuory out, which brings their interested friends to their side with words of nympnthy for the sullerer and a reprimand for lbs one that tread on their toes.
