Card to the Public.

Present unreasonable prices in the Sash &
Door Factories compel us to buy machinery
OF our own to protect us against loss on our
contracts; and while we are doing our own
work We will be prepared TO furnish all those
wishing to build, all Of the material usually
found in such places, such MS sash, doors,
blinds. mouldings, window frames, door
frames. aud in fact everything necessary in
the finishing of Il building. 1t a well known
fact that the present building boom in some
places has prompted the factory owners to
put prices where they are unreasonable and
oppressive. We do. not propose to hide be-
hind these booming prices and tell you that
you cannot do any better. We propose to
sell you goods for what it costs to msnufsc-
ture them here. We do not propose TO buy
cedar at from sl2 to $50 per thousand and
ask You s75 for it, We will keep a full line
OF California goods on hand all the time.
We expect TO have our machinery ready to
set up by the 10th Of next month

1t was expected that the clause of
the Edmunds election bill making
those who practice polygamy ineligi-
BILE as voters or ofiice-holders, would
take the political reins out of the
hands of Mormons; but by some legal
device or perjured trick, yet unex-
planned, the polygamists appear to
have evaded the law, for at the cleo
ton recently they succeeded in elect
ing majority of the Territorial legis-
lature. The vote was larger than
usual and the Mormon majorities
quite astonishing. Thus is the ques-
ion of polygamy in Utah yet unsettled.
Something more decisive than an
election bill will now be necessary
there, the late election demonstrating
that mere forms of law are wholly
without effect in graphing with the
difficulty.

VANCOUVER, w. T., Aug. %, 1888.
Another pioneer would like to be heard
on the question of trip across the Rockies
after having hewed his way for himself and
family third of century ago across the
American continent over a barren desert
las it was then termed) to the beautiful
shores of the Pacifc-the land of gold, and
the land of plenty; and having raised fam
lily of five children, the youngest being now
over % years of age; and having given them
the advantages Of pioneer schools of Oregon
and Washington Territory-and by the by,
they are not far behind the schools on the
other side OF the mountains, we have cast
our lot in this Columbia river valley, the
country that has never known failure of
crops for period of 20 years, this being
the nearest) We have always had plenty,
and to spare. l have been looking forward
from the days when }. j. Stevens first
crossed the plains and then told us that in
our time the Northern Pacific railroad
would be built from the great lakes of the
north and unite them with that noble sheet
of water, an inland sea with 100 miles Of
sea COdSt diu VI uViuluS az duCHOT
the ships of the world-Puget Sound. And
he further said at that time that when the
time should arrive the greater part of the
labor would be done by Asiatic coolies. 1t
looked then as though he must have been
dreaming; but after third Of century all
obstacles have been overcome, and his pre-.
dictions have been realized through the in
strumentality Of Henry Willard. president
of that road. And now the iron horse comes
snorting across the Rockies -, 600 miles
in as few days as we were mouths SO years
ago. And when Mr.. Willard starts the pio-
neer train, our lamented j. j. Stevens will
not be of that train; he went out ON the
Highland regiment train, and the grand
conductor Of the universe took his last
ticket.
After having visited my old home in the
East % years ago, and having reached the
age of three score years and four, | feel
longing to once more cross the back bone of
the American continent behind the iron
horse, so that can tell my friends which l
like best, That, or az months trip behind
an OK team, singing from morning till night,
"whoa haw buck" And now l would like
to ask Mr.. Willard. as he has generously re-
duced the fare, il he could not extend the
time for our return from 3 months, which
brings it in the dead OF winter, to 6 months
or more, as he may think for the best inter.
ests Of all concerned-and your petitioner
would ever pray. G. HAYDEN.

There can be no more fencing up of
public lands. A few months ago the
Interior Department issued orders
against it, and now the District Court
in Wyoming, on test case against a
man who had fenced in eleven sections
of government land, decides that such
action is, "First, great public wrong;
second, public nuisance, and third,
that it is in the nature of perpressure
at common law, and so is remediable
or relievable by the all-powerful in
junction issuing out of a court of
