no fears of "Prickly Ash Bitters''as it

cathartic properties can not be used

Among the applicants for pardon AT

Among the applicants for pardon at
the governors hand is young man
who was year ago sentenced to i'm
prisonment for three years because he
robbed wooden mill. The reason he
gives for wanting to be pardoned is
that he was morally blind at the time
he committed the offense, and that
having now become christian, he
thinks the ends of justice have been
served. This young man may be very
sincere in his repentance, and there is
no doubt he is sincere in his desire to
get out of Jail. But if pardon were
to be granted him on the strength of
his having become a christian, we
-hould have revivals in all the prisons
as soon as the convicts should hear of
this mans good luck. Crowds of con-
victs would want release from toll
and confinement on the plea that the
ends of justice had been satisfied.
The next thing alter their discharge
we should hear that these persons had
become backsliders.

The Myrtle claim in Trail Gulch
has again broken the monotomy in
gold output by sending over to the
Bank ofMurray a ten-ounce nugget.
It contains large amount of quartz,
hut is very heavy for its size.
Jack Enright yesterday showed the
reporter some very rich gold quartz
of a blush nature which was
brought down from discovery on
Reedar Gulch in which he is inter
ested. He presented chunk to the
Sun fcz its cabinet which fairly
glitters with the yellow metal, for
which we return thanks. The find
is considered one Of the best yet
made in camp. Some Of the quartz
will he sent to Butte for assay.
From one of the owners we learn
that the recsnt cleanup of the
Missoula Gulch people amounted to
III ounces, which reduced to coin
a. SIT an ounce would amount to
Sl,989, one of the best yields that
has been obtainsd in this camp for

Eastern Oregon and Immigration

The steady stream of immigration
which is arriving this spring, is
lar gely finding a lodgment in
southern Oregon. The section east
of .heCascade mountains is receiving
few sccessions this year. The rsa.
son that immigrants are more
favorably impressed with southern
Oregon is that the people of that
portion of the state have thoroughly
advertised their different facilities,
while the residents of Eastern Ore
gon have done nothing whatever in
the matter. Pe.haps another po-
tent reason and one of great
npertance-is that the best portion
CT the land in the counties east of
the mountains has besa taken from
the public domain by grants to
railroads or military roaes. II we
take into consideration the thousands
of acres of choice farming spots
claimed by ths Northern Pacific
and Dalles Military Wagon Road
Co. in Wasce county, we can realize
how the settler, seeking place to
make himself a home, can find NO
inducement to come this way. 1t
is not because there are more desira-
BILE locations in Douglas, Lane and
Benton counties, that visitors at
the board Of immigration rooms see
the constant tendency Of the lately
arrived Immigrant to settle in the
southern portion of the state; but
because that sectien has made itself
more generally known, and also that
10 railroad or military road has
swallowed up the choicest parcels of
the public domain. If we were
to invite people to settle in this
country we could not disguise the
facts that we have stated, and we
cannot expect that immigrants will
suffer this Inconvenience when they
can settle elsewhere.
For years we have petitiened
congress for the forfeiture Of this
unsarned grant, but little or no at
tati0n has eeen paid to the matter.
The railroad company which has
kept the land out Of market about
ten years has never built one foot
Of road, and there is no evidence
that it ever intends to build any.
The line of the O. +. & n. furnish
transportation facilities, and it is
entirely unnecessary that another
one should be built. Ever since
the grant has besn made and the
land sequestered, it has had ten.
deney to send immigrants elsewhere
to seek homes, and in the last few
years when the food-tide of iIami
grafton has leached our shores, our
country has been kept back from
settlement and the develepement te
, which it is entitled. How mucl
longer this viii continue is not
known, but until something is done
, by which settlers can get titles tx
the immense tracts of railroad land
! in Wasco county we can expec
: little or no benefit from immisra
, tion.-Tiaaes- Mountaineey.

THE REASON WsiT.

1t seems to be conceded by th-se
who have made the subject study
that the amount Of money now
covered into the q. S. treasury
from collections Of internal revenue
and duties on imports under our
unfair and oppressive tariff laws,
is more than sufficient to meet the
demands of the government econem-
icaliy administered. Everyone,
we think, will agree to the proposi-
tion that TO government is justified
in collecting a greater amount OF
money from the hard earnings of
the people than is necessary to meet
the demands of the government.
These two p. Propositions being true.
it follows that something should be
done to reduce the burdens of taxa
tion which now hang SO heavily
upon the people. Revenue reform
ers and protectionists alike agree
that reduction is necessary; bat
at this point comes in a division
among the legislators in congress.
The revenue refcrmers insist that
there should bs a reduction Of the
duties levied upon Imports, while
the proteecisnists insist that the in
ternsl revenue tax must be repeal
ed. The revenue refermers are In
favor OF maintaining the internal
revenue taxes fer three reasons:
First, the principal amount o.
internal revenue taxes are collected
from whisky and tobacco, which are

showcase in John street last week. The
end of the holder was shaped like an
elongated cube, and was an inch lsng.
A faint musical ticking that issued
from it attracted customers atten-
tioa. The jewelsr lifted the holder
from the case with a smile, and exhibs
tied tiny watch dial, she-sixteenth of
an inch in diameter, set in the side be-
tween two other dials almost as small,
One indicated the day and the other
the month Of the year. The center dial
ticked off seconds, miputes ard hours.
This is the smallest watch ever
made, the Jeweler said, land the only

two years to fit the parts together SO
that they wsuld work accurately. 1t
