RANDALL.

The seeding with small grain is
done, and now the farmers are pray
ing for warmer weather.
We notice with pain that H. w.
Faber, proprietor of the Richmond
Gazette, wants to sell out and leave us.
He improved the paper greatly since
he took charge of it, and the patrons
would like to have him stay.
The Genoa Junction cemetery has
been greatly improved by the incest
iron fence on the front that we ever
saw.
We note with pleasure that VIM. H.
Harrison has planted trees for over
half mile along the road. If every
farmer would do likewise how much
it would add to the beauty of our
county.
Henry Bozzleman last week picked
up peculiarly colored stone on his
farm, and he at once noticed that it
was very heavy. He thought he would
break it and took a hammer and tried
it, but there was no break to 1T. The
hammering, however, knocked off the
outside scale and revealed that the
stone was nugget of native copper.
We saw it Saturday and examined it,
and it is surely copper. We suppose
a company will soon be forming, and
those who wish to get in on the ground
floor will have to apply soon.
Last Saturday the Town Board APP.
pointed Alfred G. Pacey as Treasurer
of the town. in place of Julius Beith-
an, who failed to qualify.
The Town Board have laid the Boz
zelman-B ernhoft road directly across
Quayle's slough to the road near
Hunts crossing. The question of
damage is to be-settled hereafter.
On the question of Presidential pre-
ferences of the voters of Randall we
should say that on the Republican side
Robert Lincoln. if he was a candidate,
would poll the largest vote, and that
next comes Gresham. On the Demo-
cratic side there is no talk of any one
but Cleveland. I.

PARIS.

Mr.. Wilson is just more than pushing
the factory at Mornings Corners. 1t is
enclosed and nearly shingled. To have
building erected 24x40 and two stories
in height improves the looks of the old
corners very much.
Seeding is done, except those that have
millet to SOW. More millet will be sown
than ever before in the history of north
eastern Paris. Middlecamp, Biehn
Coughlan, Maroney and Horning are a
few of the parties intending to SOW it.
n. Middlecamp raised abour 5 acres
last year, which was reported to have
yielded from two and one half to five
tons per acre.

SPEECH OF l.. B. CASWELL.

Mr.. Caswell. from this district, de-
livered an able speech in Congress on
Friday last, on the tariff bill now be-
fore the House. He shows there
would have been no large surplus
revenue as now on hand if Cleveland
had applied the revenues on the public
debt, as had been done by previous adj
ministrations. But Mr.. Cleveland has
Intentionally allowed the revenue to
accumulate, to coerce Congress to do
away with most of the revenue taxes,
and accept of his free trade policy. To
the tree trade followers of Cleveland,
who profess to be anxious to relieve
the burdens of the people, Mr.. Caswell
puts the question, which has often be-
fore been put, but not answered:
If they wish to tighten the burde ems
of the people, and give substantial re-
lief To every one, why do they not take
the duty entirely off sugar; that would
reduce the revenues $6O,000,000 per
year, and take from the shoulders of
the poor man the same number of dol
lars it would from the rich"

that they are not issued to irresponsi-
BILE persons, nor to a greater number
than the law ever contemplated. The
enactor5 Of the license laws could
never have intended such an absurdity
as the issuing of license simply to
create revenue. All laws on the
statute books are intended, or should
be, for the general welfare of the peo-
pile. All reasonable men know that is
the object of law. Whatever number
of licenses, therefore. the Mayor and
Council of the city grant whether ten
fifteen or twenty-they are understood
to say to the people, on their honor
and oaths of Office, that they believe
that number necessary for the welfare
and general good of the people.
The official proceedings of the City
Council are public property. and every
citizen and taxpayer has a right to ex
press judgment upon them.

For several weeks past the Trevor
correspondent has been trying to lull
Salem into sweet repose, but the sootk-
eng tones of the lullaby are missing and
10 Salem is still awake and busy. As
proof of this one has only to look at
the gardens neatly laid ont, the lawns
kept so clean and green, the thrift
and care displayed everywhere.
Salem is noted for the beauty and
quantity of house-plants. Mrs. L. P.
Barnes always has large variety of
the most beautiful and rare flowers in
bloom. Among others having lovely
blossoms the year round are Mrs.
Bloss, Mrs. A. j. Booth, Mrs. D. B.
Maynard and Mrs. Warner. Soon
the lawns will be dotted with these
bright blossoms, and Salem will be like
unto the Garden of Eden in point of
beauty.
And let me say to our Trevor
friend who has occupied so much
space in putting the Thayer Refrigera-
tor Co" (for the simple reason that
little Trevor depends on the Company
for its existence), puff away. People
will forget there is such place if you
fail with your pen.
The factory at Salem is owned by
the Oatman Bros, who are the owners
of IS factories, and, as far as we can
learn, give good satisfaction where
they are located. For energy, snap
and business ability, we believe there
is no better firm in the Northwest.
Mrs. Warner has been quite i'll for
several days.
DIR. Paddock is reported as be ing
about the same.
Mr.. Henry Blanchard is on the sick
list.
The coffee sociable was success.
The Asbury folks cleared over So. al

evening.

SPOKANE FALLS, WASHINGTON TER.
April IS, 1888.

EDITOR TELEGRAPH:
/ have been here now about two
weeks. I like it very much SO far.
Spokane Falls is far nicer city than /
expected to find it. There are about
10000 inhabitants, and lots coming.
Real estate has been having boom
here, but l hear the prices are declin.
ing little.
Yet this place has the natural advan-
tage to make town, being splendid
water power.
Spokane Falls is already lively town
has a street railway, electric lights, etc.,
and there are crowds Of people on the
streets all the time.
This place, unlike the towns in South.
ern California, has splendid farming
country all around it, and something to
keep it moving after the boom is over.
The soil in the valleys, as far as have
seen, is gravelly; but up on the bluffs ii
is splendid clay loan, and capable oil
producing immense crops of wheat, oats,
barley and potatoes.
This is quite a stock country, and
there is lots of free range for horses and
cattle. Horses run On the range all
winter, but cattle have to be fed two
months-December and January. After
that they pick their living on the range.
People here have to fence their ranches
to keep out the range cattle.
There are great many Indians here
but they are quiet, inofensive set, and
harm no one. In fact would rather
meet them at night than the common
Wisconsin tramp.
The weather is fine out here; the sun
shines every day, and it is quite az
warm as June day in Wisconsin. The
grass is green and about three inches
high. Some of the wheat is up. Apples
can be raised up here; nicer ones
never ate in Wisconsin. Also currants,
gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries
etc. The apple trees are leafing out,
and the currant bushes are in blossom.
Lots of flowers in the fields buttercups,
violets, blue-bells, wild sun-fowers, etc
There are lots of pine and fir trees here
also some tamarac and few small pep.
lars.
Wages are about $25 to $50 per month
on ranch, and one has to furnish his
own bed and blankets. i think this a
pretty good country for poor man to
get start in, but he must acquire the
habit of saving before he comes, as
money goes easy here as elsewhere.
l wouldn't advise any one having a
good home there to sell out and come
here; they had better look this country
over before they sell.
There are not any very fine houses in
the country. Lots of log houses, with
the chimney built outside at one end,
and 1 have yet to see brick. chimney
on any house in the country outside OF
Spokane Falls.
People are making gardens, planting
potatoes, etc., and the children 90 bare.
footed all the time now.
There is not much work to be had in
Spokane Falls now, as there are on an
average ten men a day striking that
point, and they mostly want to work in
town.
One thing of this country is the fine,
pure dry air, which is beneficial to those
suffering from catarrh.
Must close for this time.

Another false assumption. A charac-
ter can be both biblical and mythologi-
cal. Illustration: That biblical and
bibulous character Noah is credited
with building an ark of wondrous pro
portions, and after enclosing therein
two samples of all animal life, attending
to all the chores, 1. e., feeding, watering,
cleaning out the stables, ensnaring fish
for the sea-lions and manufacturing ar
tyscial zee to keep the polar bears cool,
Ito say nothing about that arduous
and essential duty, introduction of fresh
ar each morning before breakfast).
Now do not these impossible feats brand
Noah as NEUROLOGICAL Imaginary
character? Mr.. Correspondent, is not
the deuil NEUROLOGICAL character?
Most certainly, as much so in fact as
|" Esculapius," Janus or Jupiter. Hence
the logical deduction follows that a char
acter can be both biblical and mytho-
logical. However, we thank correspon-
dent aforesaid for admitting our sssar-

estimate of the position of the Repub-

THE SALOONS.

We have received a communication

for undue haste in granting saloon
licenses, without careful compliance
with the law. 1t is hoped our city
authorities have not an idea that the
more money collected during the year
for licenses the more it will 60 to their
credit for iinanciers. The number of
licenses issued by the new Council up
to this time is Is, for which there is or
should have been paid the sum of
$4,000. There has, in addition, been
granted three druggists licenses at $40
each. From whose pockets is the
money expected to be drawn to re-
pay the saloon keepers for the amount
they expend for license, for the cost of
rent, support of families, and leave

'ono"AhS o udJOIlIy Vi " against the
admission of women delegates. It is
claimed that this is not a. test vote on
the right of allowing women to vote In
all church matters. One of the chief
objections raised was that the admis.
sion of women at this time would be
illegal, no such action having been au.
thOrized by the annual conferences,
which possess the law-making power.
Aside from the nconstitutiOnality of
admitting the women delegates to
participate in the Conference, the
reasons for their admission seem to
be decidedly in their favor. Il was
stated, without contradiction in the
Conference, that about two.thirds of
the membership of the Methodist
church are women; the women un.
questionably perform two-thirds Of the
christian work, and probably more
they are in majority of cases the
soul and life Of the church. Take the
women members out of a church land
in some instances there would be but
little more than dry skeletons left. 1T
is relic of old-time injustice to main
tain that it belongs to thA-male mem.
bers to plan the work of the church
while the women stand by and listen
to the injunction, women obey your
husbands" and then fall to work, do.
ing the duties assigned them. There
is no risk in predicting that before an.
other conference, four years hence,
public sentiment will have settled the
problem, that women are allowed to
have a voice in the business affairs of
the church. The annual conferences
before that period arrives will dispose
of the present question.
