LOOK TO YOUR SAFETY.-Stock owners,
ranchmen, and others, now rest in peace
and quiet, knowing that their property is
safe install the "roughs" in power, and
how long will this condition Of affairs con-
tinue? How long will it be before our
Valley is again overrun by prowling gangs
of thieves? Good citizens, remembering
the past, will know how to guard the future.
Revolutions never go backwards, and the
revolution that cleared our beautiful Valley
Of thieves and cul.throats, will receive new

upon those who are labOring to restore the

There has been great deal Of Barking at Parker

represented. The plat you have sent me to in
spect represents sections Nos. 25 and 26, as
surveyed, which is not true. When you sent
me Mr.. Fields Statement, knew the land was
not surveyed, but AS it was in the same town
ship with, aud adjoining land that Wds surveyed,
and could readily be described. / thought it
right to file it, aud did so. Afterward | re-
-ceived the declaratory statements of the other
parties named above, with the fees | then
wrote to the Commissioner stating the facts in
the case, aud | also stated that in my opinion
settler ought not to be debarred because the
Surveyor thought the land rot worth settlement
especially so, VIXEN the settler proposed to back
his opinion by paying for the land. The Com
missioner answered, iustructing me not to file
the papers until the settlers had had the land
surveyed ut their own expense; therefore |
could not file the papers, but | fad the names
OF the settlers are upon my plat yet. Here the

so lar AS your business with me is concerned
you have always acted fairly aud promptly. |

that you have never, to my knowledge, acted
unfairly towards those for whom you have done

THE PRosPECT-From all sections of the
county, we hear the uniform declaration of
the intention to rebuke the attempt to in
augurate new reign of lawlessness. The
sentiment is, that the "roughs" have had
their day, and that, for the future, the
county Offices must be filed by men Of good
character With honest men in office, our
taxes will be reduced, and We have the pro.
spset that at an early day the county debt
"a legacy entaled on US by Buckley and
his crew-will be extinguished. With the
thieves and defaulters banished from the
county by a wholesome public sentiment,
there is no reason why we should be unduly
taxed for the support of the local govern
ment. On the contrary, we have every as
surauce that if the present policy is sus-
tanned, the public burthens will continue to
diminish. Let the true friends of law and
order, of morality and progress, rally and
put down the lawess gang that under pre-
tence Of regard for the public safety, seek
to inaugurate a new reign of terror.

PoLIrIcAb SpEAKINd.-The announce

PoLIr1cAB SPEAKING.-The announce
meut that Messrs Clark, Flanders, and Gar
fielde, would speak on Saturday last, had
the effect to draw out an immense crowd
The attendance from the country was very
large, persons, in many instances, having
come thirty and forty miles to hear the
speaking. The committee of arrangements
had the stand erected in the grove in the
rear of Mr.. A. Kyger's warehouse, where
under the shade of the trees, the speakers
kept the audience for nearly four hours in
rapt attention. The discussion was opened
BY the introduction of Mr.. Garfelde, who
spoke for an hour and half, and then gave
way to Mr. Flanders, who was suffering
from indisposition, and as consequence
occupied the stand but few moments. Mr..
Lasater, Chairmon of the Democratic Cen
trl Committee, then introduced Mr.. Clark,
who for nearly two hours kept the audience
spel.lbouud. Mr. c., in hurried manner,
touched upon all the great questions that
now agitate the public mind, and after de-
fning his position upon each and all of them,
passed to the consideration of matters of
local concern. The North Pacific Railroad
was a measure that would claim his earliest
attention, and with proper effort, he was con-
fdent that bill could be got through Con,
gress, making appropriations that will secure
the early completion of this great enterprise.
The Railroad commenced, bright future
dawned upon Washington Territory, future
full of promise for the country east as we'll
as west Of the mountains Other measures
of local and general interest were adverted
to, in all of which the speaker pledged him.
self to work faithfully for the interests of
his constituents. Without being eloquent,
the speech was effective, and gained many
votes for the "Orphan Boy" At the con-
clusion of Mr.. C.'s remarks, the meeting ad-
journed with three cheers for Frank Clark,
the next Delegate to Congress.

prior to June 1866, you wrote me requesting to

North of Range No. 81 East, lying upon the
waters of Mill Creek, surveyed, aud in June of
the same year you came 70 my office at Olympia
on the same business. have also received lets
ters upon the same subject from you since.
Owing to-the difficulty in getting up contracts,
bonds, &C., for small and unremunerative jobs,
the work above referred to has not yet been
denei but as soon as competent deputy makes
the necessary application and qualities according
to law, and the necessary funds are at my dis
posal to pay for the work, | shall take great
pleasure in obliging the settlers ia that vicinity
by having the lands referred to subdivided.
