CONTRADICTIONS subscribers at Cotton
post Office, w. r., are complaining very
much of not receiving the TELLER regularly
every week. Postmasters should be lit
tie more careful, especially in the small
offices.
The Ore9oniaa of the 18th has long
telegram going to show that Willard has Sc
cured control of the Northern Pacific, for
the purpose of preventing another road on
the north side of the Columbia river, and
how he secured this control.
IT Is presumed from runner that is current
in the street that much criminal business
will be brought before the L. s. Court i'll
this city in regarding to the wrongful at
tempts to pre-empt government land and IN
the matter of trespassers upon school lands.
DURING the past week the weather has
been sufficiently warm to show an increase
in the green grass crop South of this city,
but not much flesh appears to be on the bulk
of the cattle and horses depending ON it for
living.
THERE is now in course of construction
a very fine river boat, in the yard of Mon
tcith & SHELLS saw mill in the upper por-
ton of the city. Lovers of such architcc-
ture will there have an object of study.
