HEPPNEK, THURSDAY, JAN. 10, '80.
STATEHOOD CONVENTION.
At a convention held at Ellensburg,
Jan. 3, for the purpose of taking steps
for the admission of Washington Terri
tory to statehood the committee on reso
lntions presented its report, which was
addressed to the senate and house of
representatives of the congress of the
United States, and petitioned that body
for the speedy admission of Washington
Territory into the Union as a state, npon
equality with any other stato for the
following reasons:
First The population of this territory
is over 250,000. It is true this number
is an estimate, no reliable census of
population having been taken since
1880. At that time the federal cousus
showed the population of this territory
tabs GG,979. There was a sharply con
tested election for delegate to congress
ill the fall of 1880. At that election
35,827 votes were polled in the terriiory
for said office, thus showing that there
were about live inhabitants to each voter.
At the election for delegate in Novem
ber, 1888, 4G,ai8 votes were polled.
Counting five persons to each .voter,
which the election in 1880 Bhowed to bo
nearly correct, there were in the territory
at the November election in 1888, 231,
710 people. Add to this faot thai sin
months residence is a ueoeesary quolili
oatiou of a voter, and that the six months
preooding th;it eleotion wero remarkable
for groatly incrsased population to this
territory, we oan safely say our popula
tion is over 240,000. A simple reforenoo
to the increased value of taxable propel
ty presents incontrovertible proof of this
fact. In 1880 the total taxable property
was 823,708,587. In 1888 this amount
was almost quadrupled, and reached the
sum of $84,041,348. Washington terri
tory is the home of fnmilies, not adven
turers; of home-builders, not transients.
,fiocoud This population is intelligent
and patriotic, having no opinions of in
stitutions, civil, political or roligious not
in harmony with a republican form of
government. Though living over 3,000
miles from the seat of government they
are as devotedly attached to tho princi
ples of liberty regulated by law as the
peoplo of any other portion of the Ameri
can Union.
Tuird The industries of tho people
and the natural resourcos of the domain
to bo included in the boundaries of the
future stato are to bo considered.
Washington torritory has within her
b irdors an inexhaustible supply of limo,
llsh, timber, gypsum, marblo, coal, lead,
iron and the preoious metals. In ooal
and iron the Pennsylvania of the Pacific
ooast. Her agricultural and pastoral
resources are unequalled. No country
enn exoced her in the production of the
oereals, vegetables, fruits, hops and live
stook.
The port of Pnget Sound, in tonnage
from eutrauces and clearances, is the
fourth port in the United States. Not
only are her resources varied, but they
aro by tho enterprise ot her people in
Buoh a stato of devulopment ami produc
tive wealth B8 to enable her to meet the
additional expense of Btato government
without burdensome taxation. Not only
that, but her resources aro of that nature
and oharaeter as to give prominence and
increasing growth. Those natural re
sources, now but in tho infancy of, their
development, aro tho foundation of a
mighty commonwealth soon to be. The
peoplo of Washington are able, willing
and anxious to uhhiiiuo the rights ami
meet tho reHpoiiHibilitieH of state gov
eminent, liar citizens, ns American
freomen, ask for admission into the
Union as a sovereign Btato. Tlio right:!,
privileges and immunities doomed ho
doar and valuable to tho citizens of a
state she asks to have conferred on hot
oitizens. Why should she ho denied?
The nnnexutioii of northern lilaho was
also iuoludod in the petition to congress,
it being urged that the nenensition of
the peoplo of that locality depended
more upon Washington than Idaho.
Apropos of tho above the Waitshurg
1'iiiH'H gives a brief resume of tho sit u
ation as follows:
In 1878 tho peoplo of Washington Tor
ritory held a constitutional convention
by delegates and formulated a eonstitu
tiou, republican in form, and having all
the elements essential to make it admis
sible under the provisiou ot tho higher
law,(the constitution of the United States.
This constitution was submitted to the
people of Washington and North Idaho,
and ratified by over two-thirds, of tho
people of Washington and by all the
people of North Idaho except thirty four
votes. Between 60,000 and 70,000 or
population by actual oensus was enumer
ated in Washington and North Idaho at
the time of this constitution. All the
requisites in the natural resources of tho
oountry, embraced in this constitution,
were ample for making a rich and powor
- fill stats. Washington was out of debt
and North Idaho was held for her pro
portion of Idaho's debt, but the schedule
ot Washington assumed that portion of
Idaho's, detit, bo that Idaho lost nothing
in finance, under this oonsiitution,
adopted by over two thirds of the people
wbo were to be included in the now
tate. Application was made to con
gress for admission, but that body neg
lected to take heed of tho application.
Both Washington uud North Idaho have
increased in population ami wealth dur
ing ten yoars Binoe 1878, till Washington
alone has now 180,000 population, and
North Idaho near 20,000, and both to
gether have over $'.10,000,000 of property
valuation, and yet congress has, up to
the present time, denied admission to
Washington without assigning any
reason therefor.
Woiik on the road from Ellonsbnrg to
Port Eaton will begin early in the
spring. This piece of road when bmll
will be an important link in the oit--.il'
road that is to conned with ih" ion. I
being built from Cheney westward. The
line in contemplation, when constructed,
will make a saving of distance of from DO
to 100 miles. It will be the road for
pasesngor travel and tho lightning ex
press. The saving of time will be soma
four bonra in favor of the new route
over the one via Pasco. Then, too, tho
line will traverse a good agricultural
Oountry on the east side of the Colum
bia river nearly the entire distance In
time the hypotenuse road will be oue
of great utility to the N. P. company.
Next year will be a busy one in railroad
construction in eastern Wushiugton.
The devils are running the sheet this
week. Any further comments are unnecessary.
CAMAS ABROAD.
Portland, Or., Jan. 3, '89.
Editor Gazette:
I have triveled. The causes leading
up to this singular state of affairs have
been extremely various, though my main
reason for outing ufar from my "native"
buuehgrass was that I might go back
and cap the lies so glibly uttered by J.
Monroe Ward, Louis Sweeney, Othello
Armstrong and other Lone Rockers who
have, as it were, "been tbnr."
While the dance was progressing on
Christmas eve I mentioned the fact that
I was "going below" in the morning. I
tried to deliver myself of this informa
tion in a very casual way, but it didn't
fool anybody. I felt that everybody
could see my restrained enthusiasm at
the prospect of seeing the great elephant
at Portland. I had the ecstacy of see
ing some of my fellow citizens stung
with jealousy, and tho mild pleasure of
receiving rrom ot.uors tne congratula
tions due me by reason of this important
oconrrence.
One must go away from home to ap
preciate the mnny blessings we have at
Lone Roek. We are not cursed with
telegraph lines, railroads or any of the
many back-enHt innovations that are
oreeping out onto bnnchgniss, and after
the experience I have hud so far, I do
not hesitate to say that Lone Roek is the
most favored plnoe in Oregon tho most
remote from corrupting influences, as it
wore, rreactier Wwayne, ot Haw JJog,
rau a protracted meeting there for a
oouple of weeks before Christmas. All
turned out to hear the reverend gentle
man, but none cut loose from the ortho
dox ways of Lone Rock, though many
have adopted the protracted meeting
phraseology, as an instance whereof, the
fiddler at tho last danoe called "First
sister balance to the brother on the
right join handu and cirolo around,"
and, at the finish of a set, yelled "amen"
for "take your seats." On taking the
stage Christmas morning the Blue
mountains emptied themselves to wish
me good luck and the traveled gentle
men warned mo against all the "traps
for tho unwary" they had run into on
their various journeys away from the
range, and while I was filling tho boys
with perjury on the subjeot of dropping
them a line from here and there to hit
them know tho chances for selling
horsts, cows and mutton, Maginuis fired
his blaoksnako into his off boss' rump
and the U. 8. M. buokboard rattled out
of Lone Roek. I might havo gone down
to Alkali but could not resist the temp
tation to foot it over to Ileppnor and
ride over the new railroad, wherefore,
at the head of the Robinson grade, Ma
ginms and I look a brotherly swig f
Joe's best, tenderly embraoed and I
footed it away into the lowering fog,
walking on, walking ever, till I excel
ciored myself against the barbed wire
barriors of Sky ranch at the hoad of
Jaok rabbit. I knew the family and the
family would havo known me had it not
been that I was disguised in store
olothos, and as a carpet-bag dangled
from tho stick across my shoulder I was
undoubtedly taken for a Hebrew peddler
or a book llenil. Tho kind old lady of
the house looked sorry about turning
me off and I know sho was justified in
doing so, becnuso several families, evi
dently ChriHtinaH visitors, were inside.
Going further down the gulch to an
other hotiso I again made overtures for
shelter. Here the old man looked hard
at me anil told mo there was no bedding
to spare but that a quarter of a mile
down the gulch I could find plenty of
accommodations. I knew to a certainty
that, all this vas n damn 1 ,oxciiho
me Pat I mean a damnable fabrication,
so that in lieu of descending tho gulch
1 followed a duo east, furrow and came
out at where tho weary wanderer is in
variably shellered. Now, my dear Pat,
all in cliroiiieleing my experiences at
llcppncr I must diverge to say that
while the place has advanced grandly in
metropolitan tone, all this county seat,
incorporation, telegraph, railroad, na
tional hrtnk, Slit., ban certainly badly
directed its morale. It has broken the
Aoadiau brotherhood, as it were. A few
years ago everybody would have wished
me lols of luck about such a mighty
break as taking a trip to Portland, but
when 1 gently proclaimed this informa
tion about town - I mean tho city
everybody seemed to ooncorn themselves
particularly about it, nobody Beemed to
think it much out of the usual routine,
and I was made to realize the tact that I
wasn't to he the man who would dis
cover Portland. But it all seemed
strange, the town lamps, the oar whistle,
llunsaker's oity express, tho star-breasted
marshal and tho great chango in
everything but Hayniiin. Everything
else may metropolitanizo but it will ever
bo impossible to make a diamond
breasted tooth-pick sucking lah-do-dah
hotel olerk out of Hay man. In the
early, dark chilly morning, Hayniiin
routed ma out for the train, and when
I got down into tho bar-room he mixed
mo n cocktail, wished me luck and shook
my hand, and his warm-blossoming
countenance beamed on mo like the
mid day summer sun. Although Hepp
ner has the misfortune to have a rail
road, there is this to be said iu its
favor "It's a vary little one." The con
ductor is only a man, and while he ap
pears to be a bully, good oue, ho isn't a
very big one. I asked him how ho felt,
how ho liked his job, how far. it was to
Willows and to Alkali and from Alkali
the other way, and if he voted for Har
rison and for oilier information, and lie
stood it all wit limit appearing to lia par
ticularly injured. I took u ohe.v of the
brakesman's tobacco and he took a chew
of mine. There was a civil engineer
aboard whose name I imagine was Bush,
because everybody called hiiu Bushy for
short, who told mo lots about making
the railroad ami said ho was going to
rip rap a something down the track, ami
I wished him lots of luck at it. The
railroad that day seemed to be run for
the expiess purpose of taking Poo Ship
ley down to The Paltes, where he was
going to hire a lawyer to arrest Thorou
Fell for allowing the railroad grade to
run through bis bok yard. There is a
vast difference between the Heppuor
branch and the O. 11. & N. proper. Ou
the down traiu from Alkali the conduc
tor is a magnificent autoerat, clad iu
toyal azure with gold baud around his
hat. Tho brakey id only a shade less
splendid, and the candy-butcher is a bird.
From Alkali on I began to feel myself a
stranger in a strange laud -not exactly
a Philistine, but a pumpkin among can
taloupes. The severity of the oouduetor
on the train, tho high disdain of the
waiters ut the Umatilla, at The Dalles
everything combined to make me feel
like a w anderer and an outcast. Arriv
ing at Portland my grip-saok was grabbed
from me by a satchel-snatching desper
ado representing the Oregon hotel. I
begged and implored him not to oblige
me to put up there, but would have been
foroed to go just the same were it. not
that a fellow behind me yelled "Quimby
House!" and w hen I signified my inten
tion to lodge at that hotel, Mr. Quimby's
runner forcibly captured me from the
Oregon House man and fired me into
his bus. At Heppner Rev. Henry Ras
mus gave me a letter of introduction to
Bro. Bowers of the Y. M. C. A., and I of
course straightway sauntered out to
hunt him up. He lived way out on a
side street and I had difficulty in finding
him. On the way I passed three fly
looking young women walking abreast,
who variously ejaculated for my special
benefit: "Ahem!" "Yam Hill!" "Quite
Pikey no flies on him!" and as I turned
to gaze on them, one of them thrilled me
with a wink. Bro. Bowers happened to
be out so I meandered back through
China tow n to the city and got so inter
ested in the windows that I forgot all
about supper, bed-time and everything
but the grand free exhibition lining both
sides of First streot. Along about 10
o'clock, while I wns looking at Mrs.
Cleveland's picture on a cigarette card
in a tobacconist's window, a young buck
with a onuo, Derby hat, double-breasted
ooat and a oomploto metropolitan rig
went into the shop for a package of
cigarettes. I looked in at him and reoog
nized an old acquaintance. When he
came out I made myself known to him.
He was glad to see mo and made me an
appointment next evening for a general
round up of Portland, but gently hinted
that I had better put on a boilod shu t
and fixingn to match. Next day I com
plied with his instructions by going into
a gent's furnishing store and entrusting
myself to the moroy of the aristocratic
clerk, allowed him to fit me out w ith a
complete harness. It was all well
enough but tho boiled shirt, Hang
a boiled shirt. Ever since I've been
down here I've been hunting lost oollar
buttons, and the devilish institution
won't lay flat oil my stomach but keeps
curling up into a puff beneath my chin.
On my way to meet the appointment
with my old croncy, the Salvation Army
came along and I fell into the ranks and
followed them on to their barracks,
whore thoy dosed the doors on me before
I thought about my appointment. I got
out in good shape, however, but destiny
soemed to stand in the way of my ap
pointment, doing down past Morrison
ou First, who should I run up against
but the fly daisy that winked at me the
night before, and she winked again. I
knew straightway that I had made one
of those oity masches Major Sweeuey
used to be continuously talking about.
I told the young lady that I was glad to
see her looking so well, &o., and we
wandered up towards the postoflioe.
She wanted mo to see her home but I
had to excuse myself on account of my
appointment, so she gave mo her oard
and made me promise to mill on her next
day. I packed tho card to the light of a
show-window and road, "Miss Mollie,
Ivy (Ireeu." What a beautifully named
bowor I thought for such a daisy. I was
au hour behind time to meeting my
friend, so I took in the theatre Royal
and wont to bed very late. Next day I
found Bro. Bowers ami presented him
my letter. Ho was glad to soo mo,
showed mo tho Y. M. C. A. rooms where
Bid. Moody was preaching, and a Sun
day school library. Among the general
information I requested of him was the
whereabouts of the "Ivy Green." Bro.
Bowers looked puzzled, mid then pon
dered to a great deplhand I relieved
him by Haying, it must be some purk
lilie quarter of the city - that 1 had heard
it spoken of. Itro. Bowers drew up his
shoulders and wrinkling his forehead,
told me it was undoubtedly a local
slang for ' Whore the woodbine tw ninth."
