which will soon take effect. much against
the will Of department officers. however.
At the time of his resignation his accounts
were all audited and receipted without a
moments hesitation. In its financial affairs
as well as in all other matters of material
prosperity, his reservation has always had a
first.class reputation, aud the Warm Spring
Indians are probably further advanced in
civilization to-day than any other on this
coast For this they are indebted largely
to this faithful agent. who has spent years
in laboring for them when he ought to have
been at rest. 1t was on account OF these
heavy labors and bis advanced age that he
has been compelled to resign his charge.

search expedition. The hall was well filed.

with marked attention. The had was kept
just cold enough to give every one appre-

forts, and all present agreed that they were
satisfied with hearing lively account OF ad-
ventures in the frozen north without getting
any nearer to the actual realities. Lieut..
Schwatka has since frat entering the lecture

serves all the encomiums he has received,

FUNNY TAN BUSINESS. "A certain banker
in Portland was recently notified by our
sheriff OF small tax assessed against him
here. The bankers reply is characteristic
as well as amusing, as follows:
PORTLAND, OGN, Jan %, 1888
Ny Dear Sde,iF:-Your kind postal mott
flying me that my taxes SLIGO is deln
quent, was duly received; and you even
went so far as to state that 20 per cent. ad
ditional would be charged until pad. Now,
suppose | never pay it, how much will 1t
amount to, including the 20 per cent! Now,
what is there in Clarke county that inures
to my benefit to the amount of 81 Co. or any
other sum: l plead guilty to standing a
'stud hoss" in Vancouver, II refer to Wood
burn) but fail to see how you can wiring me
in for any tax for that little pleasantly, I'M
less you have an income tar in Clarke county
II for that, its too high, VERY naturally
though and ask for a reduction. pre-
sumo your assessor was governed by the
pedigree; but that's not the one we exhibit
TO assessors, and it was very stupid in him
not to know better than 20 by it. Perhaps
though, | am still wrong, aud you charge
me 81 GO for not haring any property in
Clarke county Ii this last guess is correct,
think the tax very reasonable, and will
honor your sight draft for SLIGO.

COLD WEATHER is upon us, has been with
us for week, and acts as though it meant
to stay. For the last two days the mercury
has been only six degrees above zero each
morning, and there is no prospect of warmer
weather. The Columbia river is blocked up
tight as drum above the mouth of the
Willamette, and easily crossed on foot. Ii
the weather does not moderate very soon
the Willamette will be closed by ice also,
aud then it will block all traffic except by
railroad routes. This is the most severe
weather experienced here for mauy years,
just how many we can't say, as the oldest
inhabitant, who always knows, all about
such things, has crawled into his nest, and
will not come ont until the bears do, in the
spring.

THE CHINESE Row.-Three of the China
men who assaulted their fellow wood-chopper
last week were tried OH Saturday. Two of
them were discharged, and one of them,
Sing Wy, was fined ten dollars and costs, a

to convict is hard thing to get at.

intelligence to the masses who were
the sufferers hy his speculation. Had
those who furnished the money, or
who gave him credit, lost all they had
invested, or if they had crowded him
10 the verge OF bankruptcy, 1t might
have been salutary lesson which
they would have remembered when
the time came to make 2 corner on
some of the other necessaries of life.
There Is wickedness in this character
of speculation which is almost beyond
comprehension. II entails suffering
and inconvcncies upon the poor who
compose the larger element of society
in order that q rash and unconscious
BILE speculator may amass a fortune In
few weeks, and every man who
engages in IL is Ddrticip criD,inis to the
crime. To maintain corner upon one
of the staple necessities of life adds a
large per cent. to the cost to the con-
sumner. 10 Is not a legitimate means of
money getting and every good man
would gladly see it broken up and de-
stroyed. The banks who lend their
money to such spectators, in order
that they may be enabled 10 grow rich
by the deprivation should consider
that their good fortunes have not been
given them to be used as engines of
oppression, and they should refuse to
lend their money for such ignoble
and unholy purposes. If a few PETER
MCGEocH's could be crushed and
financially disgraced, it would check
the mania, by destroying confidence
in the success Of such nefarious
schemes.

| THE committee Of the telegraphers
union have presented memorial tc
President EcKERT of the Western
Union telegraph company, requesting
an increase in the salary and de
crease In the number of hours that
constitute days work. The address
is plain and comprehensive, and
seems just and reasonable. Presi-
den EcKLRT's reply has not yet been
received, and it is not known what
answer he will make. The GAZETTE
believes in the payment of the lar
gest sum consistent with the business
receipts of the employer. If the tele-
graph company can afford to do so,
1t should concede to the re-
quest If it does not, the ac.
ton of the union. as such,
should stop right where it is. Those
who cannot afford to work at the pres
ent schedule OF wages, and who can
better their condition by obtaining
employment elsewhere or by seeking
other work should do so. But there
are hundreds, perhaps thousands of
operators who have families to support
who are willing to work for the present
prices rather than he thrown out OF
employment. \ strike, which is
threatened, is eccessary, unwise
and injudicious The question after
the reply of the company is received
is, aud should be an in
dividuaV one-cach man acting
as his personal condition and
necessities justify. Many of them can
afford to do without work, but the
chances are that much The larger mum.
Der cannot, and much hardship, in
convenienceand perhaps suffering may
be entaiied upon them by a general
strike. Let each man decide the cues
ton for himselfand 10y his own circum-
stances and condition, in which event
no injury will result to the employees.
no loss he entailed upon the company
and the business public will suffer no
inconvenience.
