have lately been filled for Spokane Falls and

that the foundry gives great satisfaction and
everybody is well pleased with the price and
quality Of work turned ont. The foundry
men make it point to turn out none but the

The Dayton papers were particularly
severe on the authorities Of Wslla Walls
county, for permitting the escape Of Etfus
and Owntey, but We presume they will give
their chins q rest on the subject for the
future. News was received here this morn
Ing that while the sheriff and iailer Of Co.
lumbia county we're making their rounds OF
the county Jail at Dayton, an Indian con-
fined there on a charge Of grand larceny
horse stealing) slipped out Of the door,
jumped the fence and cleared out and has
not been seen nor heard Of since. This es-
cape is the more Slaring from the fact that
it occurred so soon after the Walla Walla
escapade, and while Sheriff Thompson and
Jailer Williams resisted fierce attack the
Dayton jailers did no. put themselves in the
way of such an ordeal.

a Letter from Senator sI.,er

Tho Heppner Ga-et,e prints the following
letter from Senator Slate, in regard to T il.
road lands and other matters;
u 5. SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON. ID C.
Dec. Is. 1888
Am not surprised to learn that the bill
nad the honor to introduce to repeal the
Nor'nerh Pacific unearned land grant il 40
generally well received La,t Congress it
was question 10 my mind whether 10 taxa
this step or not. But upon full considsr..
tion thought 1t the wisest plan to defer
action until thus session. Then the temper
OF Congress was not favorable to action; be.
Hdes We of O.egon had . direct interest in
having the Northern Pacific Railroad com .
pleted from Wallula through. To attack
seriously then would in oil probability 90
Affect its stocks as TO have crippled the com.
pany and ended in suspension of the WORK
In view Of these facts, l did not consider i:
wise to make the move then. But now that
tine road has made its connection. and there
Is no probability Of the company building .
line down the Columbia there IL no good
reason why all the lands west of Walluia
hould not be restored to the public domain,
and l propose to press the measure with all
the energy and vigor Am capable Of
As to your sugg, g,stion that the law should
be amended so that homesteader would not
have to travel to distant county seat to
prove up. will see what may be done, but
you must know that similar efforts have
been made before and failed. Besides, it i.
most difficult thing to make congressm en-
and senators who never saw an acre of public
land comprehend the real situation out west
in the public land Statea Every proposed
amendment contains to these Senators and
Representatives. Q concealed scheme to rob
the government Of its land. And while
these very same men would fail 20 aee tn @
most bare faced steal Of millions Of acres by
some railroad corporations. they would 90
into fits and contortions at some simple
change proposed in the interest of the poor
but honest settler for fear that by such
change soms door might be opened for fraud
These hardships you speak Of, wherein
Heppner settlers have to travel away over to
Psndleton and La Grande, l know exist and
you do not overstate them; bat it is doubt
fol if any remedy can obtain changes with
in the past few years making it more difficult
and expensive to prove up. And all with q
view to prevent fraud. What will be the
outcome of the proposed restoration of the
N. P. R. R. lands which are unearned, l
can not now tell. but have hopes that some
.ction may be had at an early day.
Respectfully yours.
