WATER.

WESTON, Nov. 18th, 1880.
Editors Leader
GENTIEM :--If it is true, as physiolo-
g:sts insesn us. that water constitutes in the
human subject, between two thirds and three
fourti,s s. ae entire weight of the body, it is
not aifs3,lJ 20 conceive how much influence
the lard OF water an individual drinks may
have upon his sanitary condition. Those Of
us who found, "back in the States" that
the best and purest water issue from noun
tain springs or wells, and that the water in
valleys was too apt to be impregnated with
substances deleterious to good health, are
prone to fancy that the same condition of
affairs ought to exist here. But "back in the
States" the richest soil is usually confined to
the s'bottoms' OF valleys, and the hills are fire..
quently rocky, while here the opposite obtains;
it is cur high bills that carry the deep soil,
and our canons that betray the presence of
the bedrock. The springs on our mountains
are too apt to contain nothing but surface
| water, holding in solution too frequently the
| product of animal and vegetable decomposi-
| tion, than which nothing can he more in
furious to the promotion and maintenance
of good health. On the other hand the water
that makes its appearance in the springs and
wells Of the valleys has been purified by q
long process of filtration. In support of this
idea find it subject of remark among intel.
| ligent and observing physicians that diseases
on the mountains have more of a'.endcney to
assume a low, typhoid type than the same all
ments in the valleys. The atmosphere ought
surely to be clearer and ptrer in the elevated
regions, and if there Is .a:s difference in dis
ease it must be attributed to the vitiated con-
dition of the water. Perhaps We do not suf-
ficiently estimate the value of pure water 1t
| is subject worthy of attention and if there is
any ground for the suspicion that the water
on our mountains contains enough organic
matter to make it have de!eterious influence
upon the human system, it would be for pub
lie good to have this point made the subject of
investigation. 1t is mistake to suppose that
because water is clear, cool, and palatable, it
must of necessity be pure and wholesome. It
Is in fact the presence of salts in solution that
! renders water SO agreeable to the taste. With.
ont these salts it would be unpleasantly in.
sipid. But the impurities in water which
we have most cause to dread are not those Of
an inorganic nature. On the contrary many
of these are beneficial 1t is decayed vegeta-
BILE matter that most frequently renders it
active IN the production of disease. Where
then, in this country, are we most apt to find
the water holding this poisonous product Of
decomposition!
If this is of sufficient public interest, by
giving it space in your paper, you will oblige
Yours truly,

eur correspondent from Heppnsr,
"Ajax," whose opiaion we respect, states
that an impression prevails there that
the formation Of county Of the western
end Of Umatilla failed through the fault
Of the Hon. ]. @. Wilson. We have
conceived very different belief, consider
ing that pertaining to the question of
Division, Mr.. Wilson did his duty nobly
and well, even with difficulties to contend
against of an unusual nature. If I'VE are
mistaken We want to know it; and if We
are correct we desire to see Mr.. Wilson
set right before his constituents. The
LEADER is open to information on this
point from Mr.. Wilson or any other re-
liable source, and we shall endeayor to
get at the truth in this matter. There
is prinaa facin evidence that Mr.. Wilson
supported Division in the fact that the
Pendleton Tribune did not approve of
his course in the matter It did indorse
the Hon P. J. Kelly who voted against
reconsidering the question. 1t spoke in
praise Of the Hon. Lawrence of Baker
rho opposed Division emphatically and
| ably. The Standard reported zone" mem
Der from Umatilla in the House, as sup
porting Division, and who was it, when
i
it was not Mr.. Kelly9 We have watched
the Statesman to see if Mr.. Kelly would
accept its invitatiyn to explain his op-
position to Division, but as yet he has
not.

The air is full Of rumors regarding the
location of the railroad across the Blue
Mountains. The one that receives the
most credence is that the road starts from
a point two miles above Umatilla Land
ing, crosses Wild Horse about the mouth
of Spring Hollow, up that hollow to the
Umatilla river, up Meacham Creek, DC
&c We hare not learned positively the
location, but would not be surprised if
the above was nearly correct.

The marriage of the Gear Of Russia
with the Princess Dolgorouki is topic
of some interest to many newspaper cor
respondents now that there is lull in
events Of great political importance It
is only about three mounth since the
death uf the Czarina, and several reports
of the Cars marriage have reached us
some stating that the ceremony took place
as early as the end Of July last. The
Cars inidelity to his late wife was no.
torious and was said to not only embitter
her life but hasten her end, and this
Princess was the cause Of all the trouble.
There was something so shamelessly de-
6ant of decency and morality in the
Cars conduct during his wife's lifetime
that these reports of his doings i'm medi-
ately after her demise are not to be won
dered at. The marriage in question is
morganatic one-that is the left hand of
the man is given and neither the woman
nor any of her offspring can attain to his
rank. 1t would be as well to leave the
Gar and his doings unreported.

The electoral vote of New York is still

now from the attitude of the two parties,
that Congress viii have to decide the
matter. It is to be deplored that elsc-
tions cannot be 30 conducted as to obsiate
AL this turmoil and uncertainty. Unless
frauds are most palpable We doubt the
wisdom of demanding investigation. In.

We like the editorials of the Portland
Standard, but are obliged to say that
somebody has got charge of the local de-
partment who does not do honor to the
position. The evident design of an item
last week was to urge parties in Couch
precinct to Star and feather" Harvey
Scott of the Oregonian Such tone is
very disreputable, it is simply rowdyism.
No matter if Scott called them "thieves
and cut-throats," or said any of them
"could be bought for $3.50" If true
they should not resent it; and if false and
they stand above suspicion or reproach,
then the calumny will react on its author.
We depreciate the sentiment, as also the
utterance of the Oregoniaa, but we par
ticularly dislike to see leading demo-
cratic journal descending to such a
course.

We cull the following pertinens and
excellent sentiments from the Rilgsnseste
Farmer. It is now in the quiet and alb.
sencs of political turmoil that measures
for securing fairness in the future elections
should be discussed There are few
things more demoralizing to republican
form Of government than a belief that
fraudulent votes have affected or altered
the political complexion of the honest
vote.
But a strict registry law is far more
important than is generally believed. A
man who is stranger can swear his vote
in at every precinct in the city, under
different names, and can vote in as many
other precincts as he can reach during
the day, on the pretense that he is travel
ING and could not vote at home. It is
freely charged that voters were imported
from Washington Territory to vote in
this State. We do not know that such
was the case, but the charge is made at
every election, and it is Easy enough to
be done. It is possible, and very neces-
sary to prevent such illegality. Every
man should be registered in his own pre-
cinct, and vote there 81 not at all. It is
| ~ lo,Jeb,, e.. ,,e,, :, I,-. -, x.ot. sf
he cannot vote at. home; for there are
very few cases where Faaa cannot ar
range his business SO as to Ue at home if
he wishes to, and there is no other way
to secure fair ballot and 80 preserve an
honest government. This. is matter
that especially concerns the people of the
country, for the fraud attending elections
are always perpetuated in the towns, and
in that manner the will of tbs country
can often be set aside, whereas, with an
honest registry law, legal votes of cities
can all be identified within their owr
precincts and the managers of polit,caI
parties can easily satisfy themselves that
the registered names represent only &C
tual voters.
This, of course, is not a PARTISAN view
Of this subject, for every good citizen vii
coincide with us as to the Importance o
honest elections. Unhappil,v, the dis
honest efforts of politicians are not con
fined to any party. Fraud begets fraud
and the politicians excuse is that he mus
eight the devil with fire" Unserupu
lous men abound in all parties, and it /
the duty of the people to do what sell
, preservation requires to prevent the pos
, sibility of corruption. There is the mos
, urgent need in this State of registr
law, and without it we cannot have fai
elections. 1t is also necessary that a
!, polling places should be kept orderly, an
not the least interference be permitte
with the citizen who intends to vote.
is disgrace to our country that our pol
: tics often degenerates into an unscrup,
y lous struggle for power. It remain

Charleston Courier.
President Thompson, at the time he
is charged with conspiring in washing
ton against the peace and dignity OF the
Bourbon Democracy, vas engaged in
the work OF procuring Military ln-
struetor for the University Cadet Corps.
The regular army officer, formerly AS
signed 10 duty as professor OF mathe-
maiics and military tactics at West Nir-
ginia University, was recalled by the
War Department nearly two years ago,
The detail oil that officer, paid by the
General Government, had saved the
State Of West Virginia nearly one thou
sand dollars year. Since his recall the
full salary OF the professor in that de-
partment has been paid by the State.
With view To securing new detail,
and To having an officer placed at the
University who would secure thorough
military and mathematical training at
the least cost Of the people, President
Thompson visited Washington. lie bore
his own expenses. He enlisted at least
one Senator, Mr.. Hereford, To aid him.
He visited the President, he visited the
Secretary Of War, lac visited other mem
beers Of the Cabinet. lie brought all the
available influence from this State to
bear, to carry his point, and he succeed

At regular meeting, the detail was
ordered, the officer will 20 10 Morgan

versity will save the State Aearly one
thousand dollars year during his term
Of service. which under the usual rule
will not be less than three years.

A Ladies' Luncheon Party.

New York Times.
A few days ago the wife OF one OF our
most millionary millionaircs gave lun-
cheon party ut her Fifth avenue home
To seventy-two ladies'. There were twelve
tables, each table arranged for six guests
with different service, the cloth, nap
klns, glass, china, flowers, every bit Of
equipment and garniture, indeed, even
10 the gas shades, harmonizing in color
and design. The glass and china we're
OF novel pattern and the costliest kind,
and the napkins and table-cloths elabO-
rately wrought. Instead OF the ordinary
cards, with the names inscribed, were
cards finely and specially painted, dt-
serving To- rank as works OF art, the sub
iect suggested by gastrOnomy in some
form or other As mcmentOes, various
trilles, as they are called, were placed
besides the plates. There were fans,
bouquct-holders, ornamental glove but
toners and the like, each and all Of GU
riOus workmanship. The effect Oi the
twelve tables and their varied service,
with the guests in rich visiting dress OF
the latest mode, must have been raw
ishing To- the feminine eye, though 1t IL
doubtful ii the masculine mind could
have had any just appreciation OF the
ingenuity and expense Of the entertain
ment. Ii was intended to be and prob.
ably was the most elaborate luncheon
party yet given in the city, aud luncheon
parties have been feature Of the me.
tropolitan society this season. We are
obviously not drifting toward the days
Of rigid economy and Spartan simplify.
