SOME progress is making in rebuilding the
sidewalks about town-but it is rather slow.
Nearly all the walks are worn out and should
be rebuilt with new and better materials.
Lumber is cheap, now, and the city authori-
ties should see that new walks are construct
ed at once If the ward supervisors don at
tend to the matter let them be removed and
others appointed in their places 1t is IA pos.
tive disgrace to the town to permit such rot
ten, crazy old rat trap walks to exist. Walks
should be rebuilt, also, wherever they have
| been burned.

The great trouble with sewing machines thus
far, has been that those which are good for any
thing, such as Singers, Grover Bakers, or
Wheeler Wilson's ARE too expensive, whilst the
cheaper ones were made SO imperfect that they
did not answer the purpose. Messrs George +.

Opportunities for Investment.

The routes from this place to the Powder
river mines afford fine opportunities for in
vestment by persons who can keep hotel
On the road from this city to the Grand
Ronde valley there is at present but one
public house. This one is the somewhat
celebrated "great American Pioneer hotel, :"
situated at Wild Horse creek, and kept by
a man who hasn't a solitary line of reading
matter in the house, and won't take the pa
pers 6 because the internal things publish
only one side" The landlord is no doubt
a very clever gentleman, but unfortunately
he can't keep hotel. A taLle spread for
guests who are charged the round sum of
one dollar per meal, without a single veg
etable upon 1.-THE variety limited to the
very common commodities of bread, beef,
and cofee-at hotel situated in the very
midst of rich farming lands, gives pitiful
but mcst forcible exhibition of the fact that
its proprietor has mistaken his calling
Hotels Of this caste may have answered the
purpose in the past, but they will not in
the future. The travel on these thorough
fares leading to the mines will in the future
be sufficient to demand not only comrorta-
ble houses of entertainment, but fair and
reasonable bill of prices. If those ct pres
ent on the line are so blind to their own
interests as to fail of meeting these require
ments, somebody else will, and they will
receive the patronage of the travelling pub
lie. Several houses might be established
with profit between this point and the
Grand Ronde valley, both on the trail and
the wagon road, They would be remuner-
ative to their proprietors, and great con-
venience to travellers.

THE WASHINGTON STATESMAN
Published Every Saturday Morning


On Friday last 10th instant, Lucien Gas
nier, in accordance with a sentence which
had been pronounced by the peoples court,
was executed at Auburn, in the Powder
river mines, As will be seen by the de-
tails of the trial, published in this issue, he
was arraigned and tried without the regular
formula of law, and executed without the
authority of judicial court. In the alb
sence of these regulations, it seems the
people of Auburn felt called upon to take
the matter in hand, and make final dispo-
sition of it. Accordingly the prisoner was
arraigned, the case investigated and passed
upon by jury of twelve men, the prisoner
being allowed the assistance of counsel
After the verdict of guilty was rendered by
the jury, we are informed the question was
taken by the mass of the people, and the
verdict was unanimously affirmed. 1t was
an aggravated case of murder and we are
in no wise disposed to censure the people
of Auburn for their prompt and decisive
action in the matter Although the evil
dence of the prisoners guilt was altogether
circumstantial, it was of that character
which did not admit even the possibility of
a doubt in his favor He has expiated his
crime upon the gallows-a crime the enor-
nifty of which rarely finds parallel among
civilized people. 1t is well-both because
the crime merited the punishment, and be-
cause it will leave a most salutary influence
in the community of Auburn. 1t will be a
warning to desperadoes more potent than
bars and cells, and will drive from their
minds the satisfying reflection that prisons
in a new town like Auburn are but the
criminals shield, and the long journey nee
essary to be taken for trial by the courts,
but gratuitous and agreeable passport to
perhaps better field for the exercise of
their villainous propensities.

All the troops that had arrived were sent off last

of the whole army. This morning Franklin's
