CHRISTMAS AT WILLOW GLEN.

Correspondence Nep North West.
WILLOW GLEN, Dec. 2.-Believing that
few lines from this end of the valley may
prove interesting to the many readers Of the
NEW NORTHWEST, / take the liberty Of
sending you the following report:
As a general thing the young folks in this
neighborhood enjoy themselves in the dance,
but the little ones have been neglected to
some extent in their little recreations. This
fact induced several of the "old fogies" to
put their heads together to consider their
case. T. G. Davidson and others decided
upon Christmas tree, to be held on the eve
of Christmas day, in the Willow Glen school
house. Great were the anticipations Of the
children regarding the coming event, and the
contributions Of the settlers were quite
liberal, all doing their best TO make 1t de-
cided success. Our fair and excellent school
teacher, Miss Katie Siebenaler, took great
interest in drilling the children in singing
and reciting. and much Of the success in get
ting up the entertainment IL due to her exer-
tons. A committee Of young ladies, consist
ing of Misses Rachel and Mary Evans, Miss
Lizzie Emmons, and Miss May Jensen,
decorated and dressed the tree, assisted by
the young men of the neighborhood, who
gladly volunteered their services. The ex-
ercises commenced ut o'clock p. M, Judge
Wier acting as president of the occasion, and
the following program me was successfully
rendered to the satisfaction of the dense
crowd present:

A PORTLAND, Oregon, dispatch OF last
Friday says: "Suit was commenced here to-
day In the State Circuit Court to restrain
and prevent the publication OF Portlands
forthcoming new daily, the North,cest Ne'cs'
The plaintiff is Mrs. II. S. Duniway, who,
with her sons, issues weekly sheet devoted
TO woman's rights, prohibition and other Is
sues, and called the Ne,c Northeast. The
similarity of names, GeD Northeast and
Northwest Ne,os, Is made the basis Of the
application Of the injunction. The plaintii,
Mrs. Duniwsy, Is a sister Of IL. W. Scott,
publisher of the Oregonian. The Ne1s hav-
Ing copyrighted It's title will defend 1t, and
will make its first appearance on New Years
Day under the brightest Of auspices" Now
this 10 pretty kettle Of fish. The New
NORTHWEST, of Deer Lodge, NJ. T., is the
oldest publication Of that name In existence.
Amer II was started In 1869, out came Mrs.
Duniway's Portland paper Of the same name,
and Secretary Sam Wilkeson, Of the n. +.
Company, had just used II as title for pub
locations; and then genius from Chicago
tackled to 1t for his description Of Fort Ben
ton and the surrounding country, and still
later the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany paper In Philadelphia has sailed the
same name. Now, all at once, 1t appears
these appropriations Of title might have been
made actionable and probably more DANA
ges recovered la fourteen minutes than the
paper has earned clear money In as many
years. One rarely realizes the opportuni'
ties they have until they have passed. At.
torneys desiring to take contingent fees In
the suits we are about to institute will
please address this paper, enclosing ter
dollar bill and certificate Of character
"not so much for publication as assurance
Of good faith"

TAXES on RAILROAD LANDS

Van Wyck's bill, which provides that lands
granted TO the Pacific Railroads, which the
corporations, in order to escape taxation, re-
fuse to have patented, shall be patented
within one year after the Passage OF this Act
or be forfeited TO the Government. should
become a law. There are over l50,O0O,O OO
acres of uupatented lands belonging TO the
Pacific railroads which escape taxation by
the refusal Of their owners TO take out pat
ents for them. The Central aud Southern
Pacific companies are owners OF Immense
quantities Of unpatentsd land, every acre Of
which should be taxable. Congressman
Berry, while in the Legislature Of this State,
was loud in his denunciation OF the system
which permitted the railroads To escape tax
alton. lie should be q strong advocate OF
Van Wyck's bill, as should all the other rep
resentatives I'm Congress from this Stale
San francisco Chronicle.
The explanation Of this is that Immigrant
railroad companies after earning, by con-
struction and acceptance Of their roads, the
lands lying contiguous thereto, do not take
ont patents for the same until they sell
them. BY this means they evade the pay
ment of taxes on them. That Is all wrong
We are glad to see the movement TO compel
them to take ont patents insagurated and we
hope to see Delegate Magiunis give 1t his
hearty support. The Northern Pacific Com
pany has held reserved to itself solid belt Of
lands forty miles vide through the entire
length of this Territory for ten years aud
never paid a penny Of taxes thereon while
every settler who owned all or a portion Of
an intermediate section has had to pay taxes.
We do not wish to see the Northern Pacific
land grant forfeited If the company will
"tote fair"-that Is, take out patents for its
lands as they are earned and sell them Ct fair
prices. If 1t opposes this method 1t will
probably find there are means Of expression
other tEsn that of a tie-camp ballot box to
voice the will of Montana. We trust the
Van Wyck bill will become law.

OUR London correspondent, "kempshiii,"
in n recent letter SAYS: "Mr. Edison Is now
In London and Is making preparations for
lighting the West London Tabernacle by his
incardescent system. This building is one
of the largest churches in the metropolis,
and is we'll suited In every respect to test the
application Of the system to lighting up large
omen spaces. This will be the second church
In London lighted up on the Edison system,
the City Temple (Dr. Parkers) having
adopted IL some months ago and found 1t to
work successfully in every way. This church
Is stu ated on the Holborn Viaduct, one OF
the finest thorosghfares In the city, and the
headquarters of the Edison Light Company.
The street lamps are now supplied with the
new light, and many of the best commercial
houses and hotels have adopted 1t in prefer
ence TO gas. Mr.. Edison struck upon the
happy idea of supplying the light free OF
every expense for the first six months, and
by that time there is very little doubt but
that his customers will prefer TO retain his
lamps in preference to returning to the dim
light of past days. The light itself is con-
tanned In glass bulbs about the shape and
size of an ordinary pear. These bulbs are
exhausted of air and the light goes out as
soon as II comes In contact with the atmos-
phere, thus doing away with all danger OF
fire In the event Of the glass being broken.

JUDGE HOLMAN, who leads the opposition
IN the House to the Pacific railroads, says
there Is no doubt but that the next session
of Congress will declare all the unearned
land grants of those roads forfeited TO the
government. He says, also, that ewing TO
the organized strength Of various roads here
operating against legislation, the present
Congress will not be able to accomplish that
result.

Mrs. LABoUcHERE, who came over with

Some years ago she and her husband were
divorced in England. During her present
visit she began suit in Richmond to secure
An American divorce to facilitate. the con

That promlses well for the burial Of faction"
"Faction, said Gorham, "tbere Is no longer
any faction in the Republican party; there Is
no room for it; It is dead. Both factions
admit their weakness now, and that is sign
of strength We are going to be stronger

Ia to have the band play old familiar airs,

can play the old familiar airs that will bring

LABOR FOR NOTHING.

It is expected that few miners who have, by hard work, saved lit- tie money, will furnish the requisite financial support to the Independent fasco. It must be queer institution that will deliberately sacrifice the hard earnings of working men; and what character of men are they who will water their pathway, in the di- rection of mythical, selfish goal, with tine sweat of poor mans brow? Of such are the Independents. Hav- ing nothing; to lose themselves, two or three demagogues are ruthlessly plunging into the vortex of their political ambitions, the hard-earned wages of such working men as they can deceive into a belief in thelr su- periority over all other men. The principles advanced by the Independents embody simply an assertion that "we three or four men, your leaders, are superior to all oth. CTS in Cochise county, therefore you must follow us blindly." One cannot help but sympathize with the men, who, without thought and in the goodness of their hearts, labor day and night, merely to cater to the po- litical ignorance of two or three of- fice.seekers. It is of no importance to the EpITArn or the Democratic party, as the Independent following is not large enough to cut any fig ure in the campaign; but the spec tacle presented Tn the absorption of the labor of mans hands to grati- fy the morbid craving for notoriety of political moths, cannot but be dls- tasteful to both individuals and com munities, and must excite sympathy for the victims. It can be but the question of few weeks, when the awakening and consequent realiza- tion of wrong, will come to all.
Tombstone weekly epitaph., 1882-09-09

CORRECT enough, Mr. Masterson, we do not belong to either Tucson, or any other crowd. The EPITAPu is an advocate of right and justice. There is not man, woman or child in Arizona, not barring the editor of the Democrat, but what knows the Yavapai census to be fraud--not a reasonable but a damned big one. Further, the apportionment was not even made upon the census, fraudu- lent or otherwise. The Governor is not apt to disfranchise Cochise or any other county, and, in fact, Yava- pai's fraud has left mighty little of the Territory, outside of Prescott, to disfranchise

Desperate star Route Thieves.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ?.-After ar guments to-day in the Star route cases, Judge Wylie said ho learned that members of the jury had been approached in most disgraceful way in an attempt to influence their action, He first heard It week ago by positive direct information. He then advised the jurymen to say nothing as he didn't want to stop the case. During the past twenty-four hours, however, these wolves that surrounded the jury had become fierce and bolder, and upon hearing of an attempt more brazen and vil- lainous than the others, he felt such indignation that he nearly advised the juror to shoot down such men on the spot. He had not advised it, however. Now, he advised the jury men to spurn such m n with toe of boot; to turn from them with scarn. He warned these men that they were not to submit to such outrages with out punishment After this trial perhaps investigation would follow. General Hinkley. with much feeling, said in the interest of his clients, he should demand an immediate inves- tigation, but the court said perhaps he would have it. All the other counsel gave similar notice. Fore man Dickson said when the cases were disposed of he should lay ali in- formation he had before the court.

SAN FRaNCIsco, September 7.-- The Greenback Convention reassem- bled this morning. The committee on platform and resolutions reported. The platform reaffirms that adopted by the St. Louis convention of March last, of which it is practical repro duction, with the addition of a clause favoring the Sunday law in q modi- fled form. The convention proceed ed to consider the resolutions seria- tim, and will probably devote the day to it, as each resolution gives rise to argument and offered amendments. The debate occasionally becomes hot and caustic.

NO. Yellow Fever.

SAN FRANCISCO, September s. The cars, containing the sick China men rumored to have the yellow fever, were let near Antioch, Con- tra Costa county, last night, by the health officers of the state and city, and switched off, and this morning thoroughly examined. There was no yellow fever found on board. The Chinese had been discharged from the railroad service suffering from age, incapaclty and malarial fever, of which four died during the trip. The survivors came to the city this morning.
