An Active Defender op Settleks.
Capt. A. H. Waters, ex-U. S. marshal,
and a resident of Burns, Haruey county,
stopped iu Heppuer last Sunday on his

over there, au active enemy of the '"Swamp

a live paper at Harney in the uear
future.

Take orv the Tun. The O. R. & N.
people have put au old tub uf au eugine

A Good Congressional House. Hon.
W. R. Ellis is now favorably spokon of
for congressional honors. As has been
mentioned before iuthis paper, Hermann
is our choice of all the available mater
ial of Western Oregon for congressman,
but wheu it comes to a choice between
men of Eastern and Western Oregon,
the Gazette will stand solid for W. R.
Ellis. Why should not Eastern Ore
gou have the representative) And of
both parties is there a inau that conld
till the position any better than Mr. El
lis? Our little editorial recently refer
ring to the capability of Binger Hermann
is none the less true. He is a faithful
and capable man, and is preferable to
any oth er man of Western Oregon for
that position; but as the E. O. says re
cently, why uot advance Mr. Horniaua
to the responsible position of U. S. Sen
ator? In this event a more capable suc
cessor oould uot he fouud than our
Morrow county candidate, Hon. W. R.
Ellis; aud we will stick by Morrow all
the time..
TflAFiic Notes. The lirst official in

The companies have formed a combina
tion for the handling of freight and pas
sengers, and the joint through servioe is
to be kuown as the Chicago, Union Paci
fic and Northwestern lino. A fast limit
ed mail train will be established Novem
ber 17, whereby passengers mid mail
will be carried through from Chicago to
Portland and San Francisco, making the
time from Chioago to Portland in eighty
turee hours, aud from Chicago to Hau
Francisco eighty five hours. This will
reduce the tune heretofore made on the
Chioago & Northwestern, as well us the
New York and Eastern mail to Portland
seven hours, aud to San Francisco twelve
hours, the arriving time of the new train
being 6:10 A. AI. at Portland, and 10:45
A. M. at San Francisco, instead of iu the
evening, as heretofore. It makes the
practical delivery of mails twenty-four
hours quicker. A similar reduction in
the tijie Eastbuund is niado ou passen

at 8.3J A. M.

The Lone Rick people are protesting

an answer to the same iu the short space
of seven days a distance from us of 30
miles. Would it be possible for our na
tives to get any aid iu having a direct
mail route from Heppner, now our me

the same across the mountains? Iu this

THE ELECTIONS.
The result of late elections have been
a surprise to all, of whatever party. The
democrats claim it as an indication of a
great change of Beutimont in favor of
their platform; while the republicans
place the blame to this otf year, when
their strength is not shown. IJut from
all we can gather from the oanvass and
tho situation from our Eastern exchang
es, national questions entered but little
iu the influence which directed the poo
ple to vote, as there were no national
candidates to be elected; and there were
many and various local questions, which
ovorbalauced all others at the preseut
time, in their state coutests.
The prohibition law in Iowa, nud the
temperance and Snudaylaws in Ohio bad
their particular etteot; and many other
matters of a local umfii- ft). Iiii h the ex
perience of every i recall, here
made the vital issues everywhere in the
states which recently held elections, as
uo national issue was endangered. We
would not advise our friends to bank
much on the next elections, bocause
such apparent changes have beeu made
this year.
