And with your eyes ali large with faith, you say

But it is not the mission of every young ual

The Lord watch between me and thee
When we are absent, one from another,
Tho long miles away thou nayst be,
And hard fate each from the other
Divides forever; yet still must my prayer
Fen be the same in hope despair;
In days of sweet peace, in suffering's breath,
In storm or in calm in life or in death,
In right or in wrong, in good or in i'll,
Even the same, the same prayer still
The Lord watch between me and thee;
Thee love. and no other,
This might of the land, this power of the sea,
Where er thou mayst be,
While we are absent from one another.

o Patriot! would that your last hour had come,
When, with your war-stained flag, to roll of drum
You marched, mid mems applause,
From fighting the great cause
OF land and liberty.
Now you stranded like gallant bark,
Flung helpless the shoals, amid the dark
Of dull and starless skies.
Bravely and well you faced the tempests strife,
But to lie sunk meath sands of common life.
Your pride scorns pity, yet how hard the fate
To live through all-only to die too late

March.

March.
o tickle March! o month of moods
1nconstant the fateful broods
Of lifes new hedged vicissitudes,
Rude thy caress is, ruder still
The kiss that seals the icy chill
OF death on rivulet and rill.
Deceitfnl March! Thy daffodi1s
Were born toossoon; their golden bells
Are hanging full of icicles,
And hyacinths their perfume spread
Ger tempting maple blossoms red
Where cling the wild bees frozen dead.
Blow! Blow, We winds Blow keen and cold
Blow fierce and wild blow strong and bold;
Blow off the vapors from the mold;
Sweep clean with equinoctiai gale
The mists that hide the intervale
Where faith grows faint and doubts assail.
Rend into fringe the believing shrouds
That drive the wrinkled writhng clouds
Across the sun in reeling crowds
And through the rents watt hitherwards
On azure wings the warblng birds.
Those songs are sweetest withou ut words.
Blue fragments of the sapphire skies,
They bring celestial symphonies
From deeps where sunshine never dies.
Sweet prophets of the peace untold,
That waits for when clouds unfold
Our summer time of green and gold.

q. 8. Grand Jury Report.

Hon. John Il. Logan presiding
Judge Of First Judicid! District court
Idoho Territory.
The United States grand jury impan.
nellcd at the present term of court desire
to offer this their final report.
We have examined into all the cases
brought before US and have found seven
indictments for felonies and three for
msdemeanors. We have also examined
into and ignored seven charges.
Many complaints have been made
before Us against parties who have Gu.
closed school lands BY joining fences on
their own lands contiguous to the school
lands and failed to leave an entrance to
the school lands. We do not believe
that any Of this class # cases examined
by US have been wilful or with an un
lawful intent, but we. think that all
school lands should be open to the gen
eral public until by due operation Of
law. they may become private property,
and We recommend that the U. 5. at
toIney commence civil action against all
parties enclosing such lands and force
them to leave proper entrance thereto.
We have, during our session, ex,
amined large number of witnesses from
all parts Of the First Judicial District.
We desire to return our thanks to i.
s. Marshal Baird, and his deputy, Green
Tor their promptness in procuring said
with asses, also to q. S. A'toraey Hawlr,
for his valuable assistance. Thanking
the court for its indulgence We beg leave

Report that the O. r. & NJ, Will Tap

The Walla Walla people are feeling
happy over their railroad prospects
Not only is G. W. Hunt getting along
finely with their Eureka Flat road, bu,
they have hopes tia, the 0. r. Il N. Co.
will abandon their proposed road ,hroush
Eureka Flat to Wallula aud will build
down by Pampa AMI come into Prescott,
aad SO all the travel aud traffic of the
road will pass through Walla Walla
instead Of going by Eureka Fla. to
Wallula.
The intentions Of the 0. r. & N. Co.
IN this matter are unknown, but the fac;
that after the plant to be used 10 build
ing the road to Eureka Flat had been
ualoaded at Wallula, aud contractors were
bargaining for supplies, orders. were r.
csiyed to pick up the entire outf, aud
send it up to Prescott, has led the Wa.la
Walla people to think that there was to
be an entire change Of programme. The
men in charge Of the plaui explained its
removal to Mr.. Hunts men by saying
that they were going up to Prescott to
begin at that end Of the line, but of
course they knew nothing about the mat.

THE CROP pRosFEcr.

Ioh every eSStion VI County 0upue
the Clearwater, Lapwai, Sweetwater,
Waha, Tammany, Asotio, Camas Prairie,
Weippe and other localities the reports
come in Of great Promise of good and
large yield Of grain, equal if not better
than last year. Some winter wheat was
killed while other fields are growing
luxuiieu,ly. The ground on which the
wheat was killed has been resown aud is
now doing nicely. For short time it
was feared that the dry weather would
prevent the growth, but lately the rains
have been changing the status greatly
aud the grain is growing spleudidly. No
one Is complaining. Spring wheat is all
doing we'll, and the only fears now cn-
tcrtained are that the means OF transpor.
tation will be too limited to remove 1t
as it is harvested, to a ready market,
where it can be sold at living rates and
the proceeds be soon returned to the
producers. There has heretofore been
too much loss to the producer by reason
of delays 10 getting their wheat shipped,
when the market was up. Walla Walla
and all the lower points have always
enjoyed the advantage over this section
in being able to ship their grain soon
after the harvest, while We have had to
hold our grain IN the farm rrancries o.
in the WAREHOUSES for weeks aud months,
10 be eaten up by wasta.e, storage and
commissions and interest on borrowed
money to pay the expenses incurred in
the producing. The delays incurred are
ruinous to the farmer who is in debt for
labor expended in procuring, when there
is no prospect Of an advance in price in
the market to off set the expenses OF
these delays. The middle men will not
buy aud pay cash and hold at their own
risk till the grain can be shipped, unless
they can get it at large discount in the
price. And very few o! these middle
men are iu condition to advance money
on grain Which cannot be removed for
months after the purchase, 50 that the
farmer and producer has to be the
sufferer, by the delays in the shipment,
any way the thing eau be fixed up.
pr,mptness and speed ia the delivering
Of our grain to market 10 nine cases Of
ten, If not in uinety-nine out of one
hundred, is what the farmer needs.
He cant long wait for rise in the mar
ket with any safety. The capitalist, who
has plenty Of money, can afford to take
chances Of a rise in the market. But
the producer, and particularly if he il in
debt, and paying interest on money, can
with safety take 10 such chances, how
ever much he may be convinced that the
grain market is too low. Hence what
we waut is the means of speedy trans
porta.ion facilities after we gather our
harvest, aud for these we should seek
| with all the means we have that can be
made available. What good will it do
