Important TO Immigrants.

superintendent of the celebrated
Blalock farm-for the purpose of
ascertaining certain facts in rela-
ton to Wasco county, and the in
ducements for immigrants to settle.
Mr.. Griffin Is an old settler, man
as well posted as any in the coun-
ty. Upon learning the object OF
the interview, the gentleman gave
all the information in his power,
as he wished to encourage i'm
migration, and he knew of
no better locality to build up a
home than in Wasco county. The
Blalock farm consists of some
forty thousand acres, and there Is
a goodly portion fenced. Last
year they put in a small piece Of
doubtful land to wheat, and the
result was most hattering. This
year they have five hundred acres
in wheat, and Mr.. Griffin feels con-
fdent that he Will show as good or
better wheat than is raised IN the
Walla-walla country. 1t must be
borne in mind that this is all high
or table land. "lou see that
bluff there" said he, pointing to
an elevated plateau, "well that is
as good wheat producing soil as
you will find in the state. You
would hardly think SO, but it is.
There are thousands Of acres Of
splendid farming land yet to
be settled in this county. The
worst drawback, heretofore, has
been the lack Of means of trans
portation. Now the railroad Is
through, and ] wager that in less
than three years this land will
all be settled, and these stations
along the road, like Grants, John
Day, the Des Chutes, and Bla-
leck 's-where there is nothing but
a side track, will be prominent
grain shipping points. J often re-
ceive letters from parties in the
east asking information regarding
this section, and the inducements
to come here and settle, and | en-
courage them all to come, and as
quickly as possible. This country
is a good stock range, but the
time has come when some provis.
ion must be made for feeding
stock in the winter. Timothy and
alfalfa do splendid, and | would
not be surprised to see great ship
ments of hay from this section. "
The gentleman stated that he is
going to erect fine hotel at Bla-
locks station Immediately, and he
had delayed only on account of
the non-arrival of his lumber. Be
sides this, the reporter learned
that the railroad company intended
erecting fine depot and ware
house there. While waiting for
the train the reporter made the
acquaintance of Mr.. Pierson, a
gentleman who has located farm
to the east of the Blalock place,
and he fully substantiated Mr..
Griffins views in relation to the In
ducements for settlers to locate in
this county. He has experimental
to his entire satisfaction, and said
he would not exchange for large
number of acres In the Walla-
walla country. This gentleman,
like Mr.. Griffin, heartily encour-
ages immigration, and thinks there
is no more suitable location in the
state. OF late we have been in
receipt of numerous letters from
the east, askiRg for information in
regard to immigrating to Oregon.
particularly Wasco county. We
desire to give only the most au-
thentic information OH this subject
hence our interview with Mr.
Griffin, a gentleQan OF well known
integrity, besides being thorough
ly posted in matters of this kind.

Tor some years 10 come, the aitful pro.

GEN. GRANT denies that the state.

respondent, charging that he has
assumed to dictate the appointments
OF President Arthur's administration
and influence the Executive TO fill the
Offices with Stalwart Republicans.
1t is likely that the correspondent
went little too far in his letter. But
1T is not reasonable to suppose that
Gen. Grant has not exerted an infiu-
ence upon the President nor is il at
all likely that he will cease TO do all
he can to have the Offices filled with
men favorable to a third term, or to

The King of Ashantes, ike his neigh
Dor, the Gespot of Dahomey, is an adept
at human sacrifices; but the latest ex-
PLOT attributed to him, of killing 200
young girls in order to get their blood
for mixing mortar in the repair of a
building, is almost past belief. In civil.
lied countries, monarchs, TO be sure,
send tens Of thousands Of young men to
die Oh the battlefield, in order to build
up and cement their power with warm
blood, but the barbarities of the ruler of
Coomassie are of a different sort. The
eagernsss for infilcting violent death is,
however, such passion with the Ashan-
tees, as their wars with the Fantees
show, that probably this latest atrocity
on the Gold Coast does not produce
much emotion there.

SATURDAY, NOvEMBER A.. Issl.
Mr.. MAcVEAaH has returned to

Washington from visit to the Presi-
dent in New York, and ventures a
brief reference to the Star Route
eases. Before doing 80 he takes occa-
sion 10 state that the scene published
week ago as happening in the Cabi.
net when the President charged him
with not having the case of Guiteau and
the star Route cases ready for trial,
q sheer fabrication, and says that the
relations between him and President
Arthur Shave always been and now
are Of the kindest possible character"
And yet Mr.. MacVeagh ventures to
add by way of winding up his CONVEX
sation with an interviewer, that mo
proposition had ever been clearer
to him than that his own usefulness
"either as member of the Cabinet or
"as representing the Government in
the Star Route cases was absolutely
tended by the death OF President
"Garfield. Any subsequent SUPER
"vision Of those cases by him was
inevitably calculated, in his opinion,
to give the erroneous impression
that they were still being conducted
"by the past administration rather
ethan the present, and such an inn
"pression, he thought, would be very
"iDjurieus indeed to the cases them
selves. Such were his deliberate
convictions, Upon them, he said, he
chad stood from the first, and upon
them, of course, he must stand to
the end"
1t is difficult to conceive of more
singular position for an able, honest,
patriotic man TO assume than the one
there attributed to Mr.. Mac Veagh.
II he has been properly represented
by the reporter the Attorney General
assumes even q worse position than
his political foes in his own party had
assigned him. They accused him of
neglect or ignorance, or both and he
denies neither of these charges but
contends that his duties as to the Star
Route cases and Guiteau ended with
tho death Of the President and to
continue to perform these afterwards
was to "give the erroneous impression
SnaV snoy wero sp,n VoIug OvIuuvuvy
by the past administration rather thar
the present." and yet he claims tha
the relations between bImself an,
President Arthur are of ,he "kindes
possible character" Mr.. MacVeagl
does not say President Arthur ordered

neither of whom abandoned the du
ties of their high positions. The fac
is that the 'Junketing" President
and Cabinets that the country ha
been blessed with for the past twelv,
