A Washington dispatch of last
Thursday says that the bills for the
admission of Dakota and Washington
Territories into the Union as States,
will be brought up after the holidays,
by Representative Burrows, chairman
of the committee on Territories. Bur-
rows says strong effort will be made
to secure their passage, but he has
very little hope of succeeding, as the
democrats are determined in their OPP
position to anything which looks to
the increase of republican power in
congress or in the electoral college.
These Territories being largely repub-
lican their chances of admission are
almost hopeless.

w. Byron Daniels, Chairman Re-

the columns of his personal organ still
continues to advise the republican
party of this county, notwithstanding
the fact that in the late election his
counsels and advice reduced the party
to faction and brought it to a most
humiliating defeat. 1t is time he
ceased to annoy his lofty ambition
with this theme, as he will never

EDITOR INDEPENDENT: Many Of your
readers seeing the above heading may desire
to know just where Etna is located, for their
benefit and of call whom it may concern"
will state here, that Etna is located on the
north fork of Lewis river, near the mouth of
Cedar creek, in Clarke county, w. T. 1t is
. place of no great pretentions, as yet, but
here you will find good country store kept
by Messrs. Forbes & Link. We have q post
office, and post road from Battle Ground
to this place. The Lake & Lewis River
Transportation Co. make mi-monthly trips
to this point, with the steamer Dewdrop,
and in the near future, should they desire to
hold this trade, will find it necessary to run
the river more frequently, and possibly sup.
ply this trade with boat expressly for the
purpose.
Reid & Feivitz, who have been atIwork
very hard during the fall and winter months
in putting in dam, and making other prep
arations pointing to the erection of first.
class saw-mill, on Cedar creek, about mile
and a half above its mouth, had the smisfor-
tune to lose their dam. during the recent
freshet This is a serious lossto those gen.
tlemeu, and it is also loss to this commun-
ity, as we we're anticipating mill soon,
where we could get tirst-class lumber and
finishing lumber of all grades. 1t is to be
hoped that Messrs Reid & Feivitz will not
become discouraged by this action of the
elements, detrimental to their interest, but
will yet erect the mill, and supply this COM
munity with want long felt and sorely
needed good saw-mill
The bridge, on the county read, across
Cedar creek, near T. P. Otwells was washed

Dispatches say that largely at
tended meeting was held in London
Saturday night for the purpose of or
ganizing fund to relieve distress in
Ireland. Many kilograms and letters
from clergymen, including Archbishop
Croke, were read, describing the out
look as gloomy and appalling, and
stating that the people were on the
verge of famine. Resolutions were
passed urging the government to take
steps to prevent the people in Ireland
from perishing from a want of the ne
cessaries of life. The condition of the
farm laborers in Ireland is truly dis
tressing, both politically and finan-
cially.
