The Rosshurg Plaindealer comes to
the rescue Of n. G. George, our Con-
gresham, for having cut Ysquina Bay
off with $50, 900, instead of 5000, 900
for its improvement, as recommended
BY the Legislature of Oregon sum,
absolutely xeeded for the purpose
mentioned. OF course, the Pidiadeater
says 1--WE know why tho Democratic
press makers this assault" II the
astuts plaindealer had pointed out one
Democratic paper, as such, that has
made an assault on NJ. c. George for
this peculiar proceeding, We might ad-
nit the premises. but no case OF that
sort exists. Inasmuch as the Plain
dealer charges the assault on the Demo
cratic party when it knows that the
isus is with the peopls) we accept ii.
Now les it be distinctly undsrsIsod
that with great cara and scientific Ia
vestigatisn, which were aad are nosori

I'd. Democrat:
tbs with regret that wo note the
death OF j. q. Saltmarsh two children

terrible disease broke cut In his fam.
lily and the onlv two children, ut that
time, died. And now two moro born
since aro taken. The family have
tho entire sympathy OF tho commun
ity.
Tho 3rd OF February was DIR. Bal.
lard's 5Sth birthday. His many
friends desiring TO express their ap-
preclaticn OF his long and valuable
services in our midst assembled al
his pleasant homo IN the evening 10
tho number OF 100 or more. II rather
took the Doctor by surprise 10 see 90
many marching In and cordially con-
graduating him on tho occasion. AZ
ter spending a short time socially
Mr.. g. i. Montague arose and ad-
dressed tho Doctor, stating ho had
been assigned tho pleasant duty oI
presenting to him on bohalfo OF hIs
friends an elegant and handsome easy
chair. The presentation address
was In the usual happy vein Of the
speaker. The Doctor In a few appro
pirate remarks accepted the Birthday
present and cheerfully tondered the
hospitality Of tho house TO all pres
tent. .
At the proper time tho latiles, who
are over thoughtful, spread the tables
with the delicious things OF life and
all eAJoyed a magnificent supper. The
Mcl<nigh; string band, learning Of the
event, were present and rendered
some vory choice music for the oeca-
sion. II being also the 56th birthday
Of Prof j. l.. Gilbert, the students
with friends Joined In commemorate
Ing the same by presenting him a
handsome chair OF the same kind as
was givon 10 the doctor. MT. j. L.
Cowan, In "a neat speech, made the
presentation, and In response tho Pro
fessor accepted II In a very suitable
and elegant roply.
There were some other presents
made by relatives and intimate friends
ono, hanging lamp, by NJ. ID.
Ballard and wife who were present.
Tho evening was pleasantly spent
and will long be remembered.
Nr. Mat Sceit and Isaac Hays were
in town few days ago looking aftel
their prospects for tile nomination
OF Sheriff. They are both good anS
woull make excellent Shsriffs, buI

enough for one man, and tho dItilcul.

will be. They seemed 10 be IN per.
feet good humor aud expressed lhom
selves as bcIng rather sangulno o
gSiting away with II.
On Tuesday evening occurred thC
last meeting OF tho old town council
and at that timo the new council vai

showing $3l2. 25 on hand. A resolu
ton was passed rendering 10 the out

GUTTEAU SENTENCED.

Saturday the motion for new fri
al in the Guitoau case came up for
decision, when Judge Cox decided
that there was no reason why it should
be granted, and therefore overruled
it. He then passed the sentence OF
the Court on Guiteau' IN language
which does honor to this impartial
Jddge, condemning him to be hang
ed on June both, 1882, when It is to
be hoped he viii meet with his just
reward.

TRUE WORDS.

The following Wa iind ia the last is
sue of the Democrat, psblished up at
ColfAx, ". I. IL contains scene plain
truths told in plata Language
Congressman n. c. George Of Ore.
gon has placed himself ssuarely on rec.
oTd a. she attorney Of the Northern Pa
si6o Railroad company, instead Of The
people. He has introduced in Congress
bill 70 allow that company until 1885
to earn lands that have hssn wrongful.
ly withheld from settlement for four or
Eve years. Mr.. George waa elected as
an anti-msnopolist, aud the promises
he made we're the fairsst Of the fair.
The people of Oregon may, in time,
learn two things, the frat and most im-
porssn. of which will be when they sue
essd in getting an hoasst and espabls
congressman 10 keep him in that posi-
Iisa. The State has nov Aad then
siacs its admission succeeded in elect
ing such . man 20 congress. Gsv. Whit
saksr being enc Of them, bat has lava.
riahly replaced him By soms enc who
has betrayed the tsuss rspossd la him.
The ether thing to DO Learned is that
Iha interest Of the people a. large Of
that State can never be properly repre-
ssatsd in Cons;sss by man Who is
elected frsn the city et Portland.

Under this heading The Salem States
man, s.aunsh friend Of Yaquina Bay,
comes TO ths frsnt boldly and censurss
u. c. George for not doing in Congress
a. 10 had been instructed by the Ore
son Legislature. We quote from 1t the
following;
Senator Grover has introduced bill
TO appropriate 100000 for continu-
ins the work Of improving tho
entrance of Yaquina Bay. Tho last
Legislature, by unanimous vote, adopt.
cd q memorial asking Congress to grant
Ihis amount for Yaquina, and il was
clearly The duty Of Mr.. George to do
mand il. The completion Of the Oregon
Paeife Railroad across the valley this
season will guarantee reduced ratos of
transportation, and tho people aot only
Of lhe Willamette valley. but also Of
Eastern Oregon. will feel mush aggrava.
ted If they are partially deprived of the
benefits of this great enterprise through
shs failure Of Congress to grant money
sufficient 10 we'll advance the work Of
improving ths entrance to YaquinA
Bay. The depth OF water now on the
bar Al high tide is bat few inches short
Of twenty feet, and II is estimated that
$20o,e00 will finish the jetty across
,he south channel and open the rocky
barrier across the entrance so a. to ad-
nis deep water vessels. Every farmer
in Oregon is vitality interested in the
contamination of this work, and it
is the earnest wish Of the Statesman
thai Congress will appropriate Ihs
amount asked for by the Legislators.
