OCCIDENTAL JOTTINGS.
News And Notes Of a General In
terest to the WesteTneF.

There are about 700 Indians on the
Siletz reservation, twelve miles north
of Newport.
Newport has a new paper. They
call it the Republican. It is laboring
in a good cause and will no doubt
succeed.
The Salem postmaster was APP
pointed by President Arthurand his
term expires on Dec. 4, next. Presi-
dent Cleveland has the appointment
of his successor.
Iti not unlikely that the "cow
question" will form an issue at the
coming Albany city election. From
the streets the COW must go. This
is the motto of the popular party.
A Michigan syndicate is gobbling
up whole townships, down in Joseph
comfy, at the rate Of $3.50 per acre.
Land for homeseekers will soon be
rated among the high priced articles
in Oregon.
Gus Thompson is down with the
smallpox on his ranch eight miles
from Brownsville and is reported
quite sick, being broken out from
head to foot. DR.. Starr of Browns
vile is attending him.
From the number of creameries
just now being erected all over the
state, it would seem that the ship
ment of butter from the east must
soon cease. The establishment of
some henneries would likewise be
for the best.
OF the narrow gaugetrai derailed
few days ago near Sheridan, three
box-cars were completely capsized.
In one car were twenty-five China
men. No one was killed or very
seriously injured, though a number
of Cinnamon were badly shaken up,
cut and severely bruised. None of
the white passengers on the train
were injured. The train was mOy-
ing very slowly at the time or the
accident would have been a bad
one.
The monument to Senator Mes
mith has arrived and is being placed
over his grave on the old home farm,
near Derry, Polk county, but the
state is not paying for it. The
family is bearing the total expense
and the sum of $3.50 appropriated
will not be drawn from the state
treasury. The reason is that the
amount was so small as to scarcely
be worth applying in the manner
intended. The monument is Of
marble and granite and is sixteen
feet high with a polished base cover
ing sixteen square feet.
The mysterious order of "101" in
Grant county continues to send its
warnings and notices to leave to the
citizens there. A. w. Waters dared
them to approach him and they
failed to come around. The last
man to receive the summons to leave
was Green Hudspeath. He replies
through the Harney Items saying ::
''I do not intend to leave and l

southeast of Burns, at all times, and

wbelp who wrote the notice re-

with a pen, one who could raise or
forge a note, but when he attempts
to frighten me or other settlers he
will find that he has bitten off more
than he can chew.

This is the clearest, fairest, most interest

the subject.
The most thorough investigation of the
subject that has yet been put in type-New

can enjoy the accuracy of his statements
and the suggestiveness of his thoughts

For the Protection Of Deer.

The Alpine club is doing a deal
of unnecessary labor in the matter
ofgetting up petitions and bills for
the passage of more stringent laws
for the protection of deer. What we
need-rather than more laws on this
points the enforcement of the
present ones. Wild deer in Oregon
is matter of but few years at best.

that there will soon be no haunts for

Little Phil's' Life.

We wish to warn the public
against the SPURIOUS LIVES Of Gen.
Phi! Sheridan. They are advertised
by publishers and represented by
agents ingeniously to deceive the
public. There is no work of the
generals life that is authentic except
that written by himself, and pub
lished by Charles Webster & Co.,
New York. Every other publica-
ton is spurious and robs his family
of their just heritage. See that the
name of Gen. Sheridan and Charles
Webster & Co. is on the prospectus
or hook, before you give an order,
as Mrs. Sheridan is not pecuniarily
interested or otherwise in any other
work of the GENERALS LIFE.
