Where is the Justice in It.

Class legislation is the disgrace of
our country, and discrimination in the
administration of law is contemplate.
We have no disposition to array one
class against another or to try to pref
udice the country against the town.
We have been a citizen of this country
for nearly twenty years and have tried
to obey the law and also TO encourage
respect for the same with all that we
were associated with, but as a law
abiding citizen we enter our solemn
protest against the unfair, unjust and
pusilahimous discrimination against
the country boys on the part of the
municipal authorities Of Lebanon.
Last Friday night the town bum
mers were disorderly and reported
drunk, 10 the scandal of the town, OF
at least disturbing the quiet citizens,
and no notice was taken of it by the
town authorities. Now if this had OF
been a country set they would have
been locked up, and it would have been
right; but as they were town chaps
they were let go scott free. Now l pro-
test against this unfair dealing of shield
ing men simply because they live in
town. If Lebanon wants the country
trade, she must treat us right and
make no discrimination in favor of the
wrong doer, simply because they hap
pen to live inside the corporate limits.

We would be pleased very much if
some denomination of the orthodox
church would come here this summer
and hold campmeeting, as we have a
fine grove for that purpose, and can ac
commodate people in fiis.-class style.
We are sorry to learn that our old
friend c. B. Montague, of Lebanon has
lately sustained a severe attack of deaf
ness. We had the pleasure of meeting
him a short time since, while he was
rusticating at this place, but lol when
we came to talk to him and congratu-
late him on the election of his son, El-
mer, we found him so daft that our
congratulations fell as harmless as Or
egon mist on meadow. His many
friends throughout the country will lie
PANIED to learn of this. Mr. Monta-
CUES digestive organs are in no way af-
fected, even if he is daft, judging from
the way that he partook of the good
things which were set before him by
Mes,1 Herr Gross. 1t is to be earnestly
hoped that the deafness of MIR. Monta-
que is only a temporary one from
which he may soCn recover.

The Tramp Nuisance.

This place has been comparatively
free from the visits of tramps, but this
week, we had variation of the pro-
gramme, in the shape of female tramp
with two boys. We would warn SYM
pathetic individuals to bestow their
charities on more worthy objects
This woman is simply a very degraded
specimen of the genus tramp.

PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE

LAYING THE CORNER SToNE.-On
Friday June Is, at 10, o'clock A, NJ,
the interesting ceremony of laying the
corner stone of the magnificent exposi-
ton building and geological gardens OF
the North Pacific Industrial Associa-
ton will take place. This association
organized with capital of Sl5o,000 is
now erecting a mammoth building in
the city of Portland Work on the
Structure will be pushed forward day
and night, and the building will be
ready for the first annual exposition
early in the coming fall. No expense
will be spared to make this the grand
est display of the industrial interests of
the coast that has ever been attempted.
Its comprehensive scope and the per-
fectiou of detail gives evidence that no
merely ordinary fair is in cotemplation
and the names connected with the en-
ferprise are sufficient assurance that it
viii be a complete success in every
feature. The whole northwest should
unite in a determination TO make this
truly representative of the vast inter-
ests of the region 1t viii be wonder

From Bunch Grass.

Messrs Erastus Stewart, Marion Barr,
and Mack Moss reached this valley a
few days since from Harney Valley.
Mr.. Stewart reports that the rain be-
gan to fall there the oath of May, and
was still raining the Ist day of June,
when he left there. He says the grass
in that country is better this season
than it has been for several years and
that thousands of sheep are being driv-
en- into the Harney Valley at present.
The grass around Prineville is eaten
very short by the immense number OF
cattle, sheep and horses. Though the
rain has been falling for several days
which is bringing the grass up nicely
and will greatly benefit the fall grain.
He had with him lot of edged tools
belonging to David Stewards grist mill
at Prineville, which ne was taking to
Mr.. Derrick, at Charlottesville, for re-
pairs. Mr.. Stewart did not intend to
run his mill this fall, supposing there
would be nothing to grind in that sec
ton of country, but the recent rains
have been encouragement enough fo1
him to repair his mill.
