Many of the newspapers OF the State
condemned in no unmeasured terms the
course of The LEDGER. in this unfrlend~

fcation of his course the editor insert
ed an article in his paper, alleging as a
reason for it that he wanted to furnish
to his patrons the legal advertisements
of the county, and that the Sheriff and
Charcery and Circuit Clerks had deter
mined not to publish in his paper. This
statement was not true.
We cared no more for what meddling
papers said about our business than we
now care for the remarks Of the great
offce>holder; but when he says that the
statement is not true that the Sheriff
had determined not to publish his adj
vertisements in TIE LEDGER, he says
that which he knows to be positively
false. B fore the first issue of Mr..
Buckeyes paper was published the
Sheriff had told US he would be com
PEELED to give him his advertising. The
! Circuit Clerk has also shown that he
did rot intend to publish in THE LEDd
Err, for he has gwen Mr.. Buckley al
the advertising he has had done; anl
any one knows the Chancery Clerk die
not intend to give The LEDGER any ad
vertisemant he could control.
Further on he says:
It is true that the Sheriff inserted, il

this he was actuated by no feeling o

The Summit Times gives tits report
from the good old county of ~Covington:
Covington county, thanks to a judici-
GUS and economical administration of
its affairs by their Board of Supervis-
ors, is entirely out of deht, and the
county warrants cannot be bought for
less than ninety five cents on the dol>
lar-the only inducements at all being
a desire to convert them into cash be-
fore the time arrives for redeeming
them. The rule adopted by the Board of
Supervisors is, that there shall be only
as many dollars in warrants issued as
the county will be able to redeem at the
end of the year. and this, with the alb
sence of debt, is what has inspired that
vigorous tone or confidence already men
toned as observable among the people.

FROM EMS, RICK
eRU ARTX.

Robert Grostein Esq. of Grostein &
Binnard returned from Warrens on the
10th. He says that the train in going
into that camp encountered very mud
dy roads owing to the excessive rains.
The business Of the camp was brisk and
hopes bright for prosperous mining
season. In quartz mining the men on
the Charity had worked during the en-
tire Winter, obtaining their Winter
supplies on credit. They had taken
out between 200 and 800 tons of ore
and had reduced enough of itin hand
morter and by its product had paid for
all their supplies, bought them a new
wagon and team and harness and had
money left. Mr.. G. says what he saw
of the quartz Of Warrens on this trip
has removed from his mind all skepti-
cism about the value of the quartz of
that camp, that nearly every piece of
quartz he could take from the 200 tons
and upwards at the charity seemed to
be studded with gold visible to the
naked eye, that the ore he saw from
the Bonanza appeared equally as rich
if not richer in gold. He proposed to
the Charity boys that he would pack
their quartz to Lewiston on mules dis
lance of 100 miles if they would ship
it to San Francisco for reduction, he
to receive one fourth its gross product
for said packing, and this offer was re-
fused. Rates Of packing up freight
are four cents per pound. IF Mr.. G.
considers that he was to receive only
two cents down Or half freight his offer
would be based upon an estimated val
nc of the ore at Sl60 per ton. That
this ore is rich we have other assuran-
ces, but the unpracticed eye in inspect
ing pile of ore upon the dump which
discloses much gold upon the surface
will often over estimate its working val
ne. Ii will be remembered that this is
the ledge small vug or cavity in which
workmen took out last Winter about
81 900 in loose gold. The miners of
Warrens are impaSiently waiting the ar
rival of the men expected from the east
to start up the Rescue. They want
improved reduction works there and
men skilled to run them and save the
gold and silver. Mr.. G. expresses full
confidence that skilled men with capital
eau in short time demonstrate to the
world that Warrens is one of the rich
est quartz districts on the coast. We
are glad to get convert to the faith in
Mr.. Grostein. These converts will be
made. as fast as men investigate the
facts in relation to the district.

route was projected by the De-
partment from the Wallowa to this
place. The route as follows: From
lower Wallowa, to upper Wallowa thence
to Imnaha. thence via. mouth of Grand
Ronde to Waha Prairie, thence to Lew
iston. A short time since our post
master received a letter from the De-
partment enquiring about the practical

tanning all the information he could in

tanc es about as follows: From lower to

Wallowa to Imnaha 20 miles, from I'm
naha to mouth of Grand Ronde so miles
from mouth Of Grand Ronde to Waha
Prairie 20 miles, from Waha Prairie to

These distances in some cases may be
over estimated. But the facts are that

the route is all the time going away

reached the distance thence to Lewiston
is 20 miles, greater than to come direct

WHAT WE PAY VS.. PRIME
COST.

freighting on the Columbia and Snake
rivers between this point and Portland,
and perhaps some may not thank us for
reasoning publicly upon the subject and
giving items of cost &C. But we pro-
pose to submit few things and leave
every business man and iuancier to
to judge if we come far away from the
facts. At present we'pay in gold coin
$40 per ton for all up freight and IS
per ton for wheat down. Wheat is the
lowest class of down freight. Now as
Stunning that the river was open at the
Cascades and Dalles so that boats could
make the entire distance without change
of cargo, every man knows that at least
good boat could with ease make a
round trip between the two points once
each week, or four trips per month.
Now we will take boat of 200 tons
carrying capacity and let her be half
freighted up the river and three fourths
freighted down the river, and suppose
she receives $40 per ton up and 81 per
ton down. The gross freight bill up
would be $4,000 and her gross freight
bill down would be $500, making S.
600 for the round trip, and four trips
per month would be $1,000. This
would be the amount of the receipts for
freight alone, to say nothing for passage
money. Now suppose we compute the
cost of this months work. The cost
of tn, construction Of such boat can
not exceed $40, 900. The interest on
this sum at 2 per cent per month which
is a large interest, would amount to
$500 for the month. Capt. wages,
5000; wages of I'd officer, $3.50; wages
Of engineer $50; wages Of purser, 500;
wages of ten subordinates at $50, 5000;
200 cords of wood, $500; Provisions
for officers and men, $500; oil et-cetera,
500, total cost $780, Subtract this
from the freight income and we have
the net earnings of such a boat for one
month the snug sum Of 81 200. We
think we have rated expenses high, and
we doubt if the O. S. N. Company's
books to-day will show greater expenses
for month on any one of their boats
on these upper rivers. We have placed
Eeights at half present rates. 1t is
true that their boats do not always run
freighted to the extent we have given.
But they soon would do SO with freishts
reduced, under the calculation We have
made, on an investment of $40, 900 the
company would get their 2 per cent per
saeath upon this sum and monthly
bonus Of 81 200 and all expenses paid
The, people who produce and consume
could get their freights at half present
prices and the people of this upper
country could have margin left with
which to do something towards the i'm.
provement of the country. We say
then open the river at the Cascades and
Dalles and We will soon demonstrate the
fact that we have not under estimated
the cost of freighting on these rivers.
Why should we pay "a cents per bush
Ell for carrying our wheat to Portland, a
distance of 400 miles, while we only pay
IL cents per bushel for carrying thence
