Judge Warrin's friends are talk ing of him as a prospective can didate for the supreme bench. WASHINGTON. Two Land Office Decisions of Importance. Two important decisions from the commissioner of lands have been received at the Walla Walla land office. They are reported as follows: In the case of Mrs. Jen nie Ruth, formerly Miss Jennie Fine, of Asotin, the commissioner rules that single women must get homestead riling of record from the local office before marrying, in order to make a legal entry. Miss Fine, now Mrs. Ruth, married just after executing a homestead a - plication before the clerk of the court at Asotin, but did not wait until her application arrived at the land office and placed on record, hence it is cancelled as illegal. Another very important case is that of Roupe against Baker, in volving land in the vicinity of Snake river, near Asotin, upon which Roupe placed S2000 in im provements, but made no tiling in the local land office through tbe neglect of the agent to send papers to the office. Barker applying for land, which appeared vacant, the local office records permitted him to enter it Roupe discovered the fault of the agent, and instituted proceedings to have Barker's entry set aside. The commissioner says Barker's entry is held in cancella tion, and Roupe permitted to enter the land, subject to ppeal by Barker in seventy days.

This year's receipts amount to of 412,072 head, and an increase on the receipts of any year prior to 1888, of more than 600,000 head. Aside from the very satisfactory showing made by the above fig ures the year has beeu a bitter and costly disappointment The hope so universally indulged since 1888, that the ensuing year would see a clearing away of the clouds that for three years previous had overhung the market, have not been realized. On the contrary, we have seen the "depression more depressed." The lowest prices ever known have prevailed. The average decline in common and medium grades is from 25 to 50c per 100 lb., while choice and extra grades have averaged fully 75c to $1 lower than for 1888. That the best cattle should have suffered more than those of low degree is accounted for by the fact of a more abundant corn crop and the consequent low prices for that ce real, which insured a largely in creased supply of fat cattle. Last year there was no time when the best cattle sold below $5, while during the present year there was consecutive weeks when it was dif ficult to get more than S4 for the choicest of the offerings. The ex treme range of prices was from $1 to $6.25. A single "Christmas" bullock brought the outside figure. Aside from holiday beeves $5.35 was the highest price of the year. The export trade both in live cat tle and dressed beef was larger than any previous year. The in creased volume of business in that line was made possible and profit able by the extremely low prices prevalent on this side of the wa ter. The receipts of range cattle at Chicago have quadrupled within the last ten years, and numbers ha ring increased from 198,000 in 1880 to 777,200 in 18S9. The in crease has been chiefly in Texas cattle, of which we had but 88,600 in 1880, while during the past year no less than 616,700 have arrived. The receipts of Westerns for 1889 were 109,000 less than for 1888, while of Texas there was an in crease of 69,700, leaving a net de crease for the year in range cat tle of 33,300 head. From the fore- going figures it will be seen that the rauares furnish one-fourth of all the cattle received at Chicago. The range of prices for Texas steers was $1.80 to $4, and for Western range steers $2 to $410, Sales of Texas at over $3. lo were for the corn-fed article. Range cows and bulls sold all the way from $1.10 to $2.80. Range cattle have been in de creased supply. Of Texans the re ceipts were somewhat greater than for last year, but there was a fall ing off in the receipts of Westerns of more than 50 per cent. There was also a deterioration in the quality of the latter, due to a short age of feed occasioned by the drouth which prevailed in Mon tana, Wyoming and Dakota. Pri ces were comparatively steady, the bulk of the Texans selling at $2 to $2.75, and of the Westerns at $2.50 to $3.50. A large propor tion of the offerings were fit only for canners and feeders. Receipts of this class of stock for a series of years are shown in the following table: Texans. Westerns. Total. 616,700 160.500 777.200 547,000 269.500 816,500 486,5110 261,275 757,775 8.0.8(10 240,695 561,495 29B.2() 202,0110 500.200 358,400 233.0110 590.4(10 265.300 176,500 432,8110 846,300 220,700 567.000 143.410 190,500 333.9110 88,600 109,300 198.101) 1889 1888 1887 1S86 1885 1S81 1883 1K82 1881 1880 The outlook for the cattle in dustry is encouraging much more so than at the close of 1888. That there are fewer cattle in the coun try than there were twelve months ago does not admit of a doubt, and all the signs of the times point to better prices in the not distant fu ture. Those who have had the nerve to remain in the business and the good sense to "grade" up their herds cannot fail to reap a rich harvest The year opened with $5 the top of the market. The same grade is worth $5.25 to day. SHEEP. Those who have devoted their energies to the raising of sheep have little cause of complaint at the course of the market during the year now drawing to a close. In no former year in the history of the trade has the demand been of such generous proportions. This is evident enough from the fact that although the receipts have been some 300,000 greater than for 1888 the average of prices have been materially higher than for that year. Obviously mutton is growing in favor with consum ers, and for the very good reason that the flock-masters are giving more attention than formerly to the production of the mutton grades of sheep and ; less to those that are chiefly valued for their wool. Loeal slaughterers (the refrigerator men) have used a much lareer number than ever feeders. The latter branch of the trade has proved highly profitable for the last two or three seasons, and it may therefore be regarded as a permanent feature of the mar ket The year opeued with the best grades quoted around $475. To-day they are saleable at $5.25 to $5.50. OESES. No other market on the face of the globe receives as many horses as Chicago, nor at any other point are the receipts of such various quality. Here may be found al most any day of the year animals varying from the 600 pound plug to the superb draft weighing 2000 pounds, with sales ranging from $50 up to $500. Sellers have learned that here they can always find a market for anything they may have in the equine line for sale, and buyers have an equal as surance that whatever their wants they can supply them here. The business is now centered at the stock-yards and is mainly in the hands of reputable dealers. It is largely to this fact that the rapid growth of the trade during the last two years is to be ascribed. Pric es have averaged about $10 per head lower than for 1888, the de cline falling principally upon the common to fair stock. Choice ani mals in the several classes are al ways in demand at remunerative prices. Receipts for the year in round numbers are 80,000, against 55,332 for 1888. SENATOR BR1CE AND HIS CltlTICS. New York World. Says Mr. Calvin S. Brice iu "his Columbus interview: I confess my surprise at the course of the New York World, for its editor knows me personally, and ought to know better than to sup pose me capable of the things his paper so freely and so recklessly charges. The World knowo Mr. Urice as a Bharp, shrewd, successful man of affairs. He is a credit to Wall street and his class. It knows 100 honorable, intelligent democrats in Ohio, any one of whom has render ed the democratic party and the cause of true democracy ten times as much service as Mr. Brice. But these men are poor, comparatively, and they have no chance of ad vancement to the senate so long as a man like Mr. Brice can be found to make liberal expenditures for the party. Mr. Brice's best and most ardent friends based' his claims to the Ohio senatorship in the recent contest upon the fact that he (Brice) had been spending money for the party in Ohio for years. Without this liberal invest ment of money, Mr. Brice would have had no more chance of secur ing a senatorship than Fred Blank er, tne perennial sergent-at-arms of the legislature. He never made a great speech, he never uttered a great political thought, he was never identified with legislation, and he has to-day no more claim to be regarded as a statesman than the man who blacks his boots. This is what the W orld has said of Mr. Brice and what it will continue to say unto the end. Troops Needed in Bloody Kentucky. Lexington, Ky., Jan. 29. The Sharp Rifles of this city have received orders to be ready to march to Harlan county. The occasion is apprehension of tronble there when circuit court opens.
