Whether the Mil ctviitlng; Cascade
county pnssci or not, our citizcui can
feel ntisfled in having m.vio a splendid
ehowing. With 3." votes cost in Hood
Kiver and Baldwin preelncts, at the
November election, the petition sent
down Wednesday contained 3-3 names.
There are probably 400 voters in these
preciucts, but many of thorn live at
uch a distance that it was impossibly
to present the petition. Of those to
whom it was presented not more than
a dozen, and we do not thluk that
muny, refused to sign it. We aro glad
to see such unauiniity among Hood
lilver people. At Mrwlor fully one-half
of the touts have signed the petition,
nd no doubt many more would have
done so if ,they hud been seen by thoae
circulating it. At the Cascade Locks
the sentiment against county division
is somewhat stronger, but a really
strong petition is sent from there, con
taining l!4 names, and representing at
least two-thirds of the taxable prop
erty. EEWAKJi OF THEM.

Attorneys ia Washington are fending
power-of-attorneys to all persons who
have located and proved upon the even
sections of government land within the
limit of the Northern Pacific grant,
asking that they be filled out and re
turned. These attorneys offer for 25
per cent, of the money collected to
bring suit in the court of claims and to
iccover the $1.25 per acre extra charged
by the government for theso lands. As
matters stand at present no such suit
can be prosecuted, nor would the gov
eminent pay back this money. It is
quite probable that congress will in the
ery near future pass a bill authorizing
the return of this excess money, but,
until it does, neither the court of claims
nor the Washington attorneys can re
store it. These legal sharks', anticl
pating such action on the part of con
gress, have simply put up this job to
divert one-fourth of tho money to be
returned to their own pockets. Thr.y
will do nothing to earn it, and will
only have to notify the department to
pay them the one-fourth of each
amount for which they held
power-of-attorney. The best thing to
do in the premises Is to do iiothing.and
let the Washington attorneys do the
same.
In order to xnako room for our spring stock,
we will for 30 days sell our entiro stock of Gen
eral Merchandise at actual cost for ca3h. Our
stock is complete in all departments, now and
well selected.

insi wnac Etna or u colored man
lingers in the Cuscado Locks wood-pile
is hard to discern, but he ia there and
of large size and extremely malodorous
The government officers lu chargo of
the plant say they have orders to turn
the plant over to the contractors, the
Day brothers, on demand. The Day
brothers, however, assert that they are
ready and anxious to receive the plant
and to commence work at once. They
insist that the government refuses to
turn over the plant and that they can
do nothing until the government gets
a move on. One party declares and
publishes its readiness to deliver the
goods, the other just as strenuously in
slsts they are ready to receive. The
aforesaid colored man is therefore ap
parent and evidently the boss of the
wood-pile. For years the great, meek
public of Eastern Oregon have been
praying for the completion of these
locks, and for years the press has been
urging the completion of the works by
eontract and asserting that then only
would the glad light of day dawn for
them. Their prayers have been too
fervid, for instead of one Day, two have
Appeared, and between them all ia nat
urally yet in darkness. Another Day
like these and we and the locks are un
done. Let us hope the memorial from
the Oregon legislature may give us a
little Daylight.
It is said that President-elect Cleve
land has about completed his cabinet.
Whitney is to be in charge of the navy,
Dayard his former secretary of state, to
again fill that position, Carlisle to have
the treasury portfolio, and the other
places have centralized on two or three
for each place, of whom one will be
chosen. We are not so deeply inter
ested in the cabinet as we are in The
Dalles land oflice, which seems to be
about our size; when, of oourse, the
present worthy incumbent retires. We
stated before that it is our humble
opinion that the newspaper fraternity
ought to be recognized, and the wisdom
of the remark is emphasized by the
fact that nearly every newspaper in the
state indorses our views. Let the rec
ord be broken and one newspaper man
be given an office; if not us, some other
man who with his pen has earned the
right at least of reward.

The Raley bill for a portage railway
from Celilo to The Dalles was the spe
cial order for 2 o'elock Wednesday, but
it did not remain so long, being de
feated by a vote of 17 to 14. This settles
the portage railway bill for this session,
at least, and probably for all time. If
this was Faul Mohr's work it was well
done, and that gentleman can now
complete his road when he gets ready
That he holds the key to opening the
Columbia is rtfadily seen, as a road fifty
odd miles in length would make lt'pos
sible to ship the products of the eastern
country to Astoria with but one port
aire. That he will build his road is
possible but improbable.
L. Q. C. Lamar, associate Justice of
the United States supreme court, died
at Macon, Georgia, Monday, Jan. 23d
His death, like that of the Illustrious
dead who have preceded him this
month, was sudden and unexpected.
Bishop Phillips Brooks of the Epis
copal church died at Boston Monday,
the 23d. It Is a coincidence that he,
like Butler and Lamar, died of heart
failure, and each in the same manner,
having been seised with a violent fit
of coughing, expiring within an honr
or two after it.
Hon. R. O. Dunbar has been selected
as the new Chief Justice of the State of
Washington. The people of Klickitat
are justly proud of this honor conferred
on one of their citizens.
All the counties of Eastern Oregon
and Washington, and many of those
now in Idaho, were at one time a por
tion of Wasoo. Sue is truly tho mother
of counties, and her progeny is numer
ous. It is proposed at this session of
the legislature to have her give birth to
twins, Cascade and Stockman counties,
and then she may retire from the busi
ness.

Klickitat county division.
Captain A. 8. Blowers In TheOregonlnn.
White Salmon, Wash., Jan. 24.
I notice in your issue of the 20th inst.
communication from Ooldendule,
in regard to the petition from this
place for annexation to Skamania
county. A portion of it is true. We
have petitioned the legislature, as stat
ed, but the presumed object is not true;
or, at least, is misleading, viz., that we
expect the county-seat, and can carry
it by popular vote. We have not the
least idea of attempting to get the
county-seat at present, nor have we
ever talked anything of the kind, but,
on the contrary, will be perfectly satis-
z a a n 1 a a
ueu iu go u vascaaes to transact our
county business, where wo can go and
return the same day. This is just why
we wish to leave Klickitat county. At
the present time nearly all the tax
payers west of the Klickitat river have
to cross the Columbia river to Hood
River, Or., then go to Grant's station,
about 50 miles; there remain one night
In order to catch the stage next morn
Ing for a journey of about 12 miles to
Goldendale; thus being compelled to
spend fou or five days and from $15 to
$20 in cash to transact a little business.
The consequence is very few can ever
afford to go; when it should be every
taxpayer's right to attend to his own
anain in an county matters. As we
are now situated, the only privilege
we nave is to send our taxes over bv
mail. The people at Goldendale want
our taxes, but are not willing we
should be represented in any of the
county offices. The mileage from this
2 1 A J 1 1
isomieu piace wouia maice it too ex
pensive for the county. We expect
they will defeat us this time, as we
have put no money into it, but the
day is not far distant when we will
outvote Goldendale; then see if the
county-seat does not come out into the
world, where there is either railroad or
river communication. We don't
want it here, but we can go to Astoria
in less time and for lees money than
we can to Goldendale, and we don't
care where it is located, if it can only
be where the people of the county can
get to it without going across half the
state of Oregon to get over the moun
tains, then go down into a hole isolated
from all the world but Goldendale.
These are some of the reasons why we
want a change.
