IN MENORIAM.

On last Saturday we received a dispatch
from Dayton, W. T., announcing the sudden
death of James A. Yantis on the 7th inst,
at eight o'clock at night at Walla Walla
Mr.. JAMES A. Yantis was born Dec. 10,
ls4c. in the state of Nj souri,, and emigl ated
from thence with his fathers family in the
pioneer days of 1851 to Oregon where they
settled in Linn county, and where deceased
was raised to manhood on his fathers farm.
His education from boyhood to riper years
was almost exclusively under the supervis-
ion of Rev. S. G. Irwin of Linn county, by
first attending the distrit school in early
days where Mr. Irwin taught and afterwards
at Albany collegiate institute where he
studied the languages and finished his edu-
cation while Mr.. Irwin had charge of that
instution. After retiring from school he
taught one of the district schools in this
place for some time. He soon after gave
MP teaching and entered the county clerk s
Office in this county upon the duties of
deputy clerk and continued in that position
for several years during which time he
studied law and was admitted to the bar
at the December term of the supreme court
for 1874.
His long and favorable connection with
the GAZETTE during Mr.. Carter's lifetime
and afterwards as part owner with us Is
all familiar with our readers. Our intimate
acquaintance with deceased began during
the time he was reading law; since which
time our bushes and social relations witt
him have been almost of daily occurrence
We have always found him to be true
gentleman. kind friend and above all on
of the noblent works of God, an honest man
He was possessed of those finer feelings Of
human nature which always actuated hin
to use his utmost endeavors to please and
contribute all in his power to the happiness
of those around him. After journcying t.
Dayton, w. T., in hopes of regaining his
health, for time he seemed to improve
and while there he took part in the trial o
Sonic important criminal causes. A fire
caught sc the hotel in which he was sleeping
at Dayton and destroyed it. filling his room
with smoke from whence he was carried BY
friends.
The inhaling of smoke into the lungs al
the above time no doubt hastened his de
parture. At the time of his death he had
started home; arriving at Walla Walla HI
was met by w. j. johnson of Lewiston
formerly of this place, where deceased took
suddenly worse and after his death Mr.
johnson kindly accompanied his remains tt

THE SANE OLD GAN

Some of our readers may remember that
in November 1880, when the securities of
the Oregon Pacific Railroad had only re-
Gently been issued in New York, sour
rilous attack on the whole enterprise,
signed Examiner, was printed in the
Oregonian Obviously not to affect public
opinion in Oregon, where facts were well
and widely known. The mystery was ex-
planned when, only six days after the pull
lication here, the thing was repubiished as
a circular in New York, garbled and alter
ed-and copies were sent broadcast through
that city and other Eastern money centers.
When the attention of the editor of the
Oregonian was drawn to the falsitication of
what he had published here, short edi-
torial appeared talking of telegraphic errors,
and saying that it was understood the paper
had been telegraphad east. So the parties
interested had founi it worth their while
to telegraph East closely printed column
and quarter of Oregonian small type. i'll
order to endeavSHto damage the Oregon
Pacific. Apparently that game paid, for
now we learn that the same tactics are
being repeated, with this difference, that
whereas in 1880 the enemies of the Oregon
Pacific had to write a communication under
feigned name to get it into the Oregonian,
of the Oregonian for the same purpose.
How has this change been worked? Has
the editor of the Oregonian ever heard of a
handsome new printing press and type one
of the new companies is said to have sent
out to Portland some months ago, as part of
the improvement of Oregon. but which has
never yet seen light in. this State? 1t is
only rumor which has reached us In the
| upper valley" The articles of March
| 18th last has been repubiished as circular

gers of the upper Willamette valley" car
| '.chew upon" this fact too. 1t strikes us
that it is hardly a position every decent
| journal would willingly select, to be taken
as the eat to pull the chestnuts ont of the
fire. even though H. Willard be the monkey
to hold the cat. But tastes differ-and
we fully admit that if paper by contin
ned course of action shows it's submission tt
great corporation striving to dominate
and control country there is hardly an!
depth of meaness to which it may not have
to sink. But we forget; there is one spark
OF free will still apparent in the columns
of the Oregonian; and by its spitefulness and
venomous opposition to John H. Mitchell
it is doing more towards restoring that
gentleman to q seat in the U. S
Senate than legion of canvassers in tht
valley counties.
However, since the Oregonian circular
of the 18th of March has been so republlsh
ed leb us look at it again in the light Of
these counties where our home interests are
all situated True, it is killing again the
twice s!aiu,to refute these falsehoods, and

THE PINT LAW.

who are selling liquor by the pint
As onr readers are aware. the Lcgis-

the Governor, repealing what is known
as the Pint Law. The measure went
into effect at the date Of it's approval,
and was operative at the time as to nll

the State under the pint law even
though such licences may not have

We make this statement for the bene-

holding licences obtained under the pint
law may consider that they have the
right to sell liquor under that law up to
the date their licences expires. II SO,
they are mistaken
The Supreme Court Of Mississippi,
aud the Supreme Court Of the United
States, hold that license to sell liquor
is not contract binding on the State;
and that, such being the case, the State
has at any time the right to annul,
nbrogate and make void any licences
issued to sell liquor, notwithstanding
the State may have received valuable
consideration.
A license to sell liquor, the courts
hold, is like license to conduct a lot.

The State Notwithstanding 1t has receiv,

can annul one to conduct a lottery.
AIS we have said, we make this state
ment of what the law is for the benefit
Of pafties who are interested. Judges
Of Circuit Courts charge iuries as they
are bound to do, to indict in cases where
the law in this respect has been violated
