man, A. Castines, and brakeman, J. j
Burns, jumped and escaped with slight in
juries. Rocks had fallen ON the track and
spread the rails; but the first engine passed
over safely and the second received the
shock. The engineer of the first engine
saw that something was wrong and gave
the alarm; but not in time to avert the ac-
cident. The freight cars are in badly
dilapidated condition, and three or more of
them are ditched and the freight scattered
promiscuously around. As soon as the
news was received in this city the U. p.
Railways surgeon, DR.. II. Logan, went to
Blalock on the east.bound passenger train
and attended to the injured men. They
were brought to the city and lodged at the
Cosmopolitan Hotel. Neither OF the in
jnred men have families, but their friends
are showing them every possible care and
attention.

beyond our own limits for governor,
when we have within these an available
candidate, who has already filled the
gubernatOrial chair with marked honor to

entire record is that OF clean, efficient,

While he occupied the chair the whole
machinery of state government ran
smoothly. Without a particle of the dem
agogue in his political makeup, instead
of the spurtive excentricities of the con-
stitutional crank his administration was
the smooth and steady current of the
majestic river. He found the state with
debt of some $780, 900, and state levy of
50 mills. He resigned with state out
of debt for the first time in all its previous
history, while the state levy was reduced
TO 1920 mills Nor can it be said the
appropriations and expenditures were less
during Governor MOody's administration
than they have been since-a period that
has seen the state levy again increased to
the enormous sum of 6 mills on every
dollar of taxable property in the state.
Fully quarter of million dollars was
spent on the government buildings and
grounds in addition to the cost of an extra

robbed Hunts grading camps, in the Dry

that the chase ending in Borg's capture was

this morning. Borg, who left here on the

frightened and jumped off the train several
miles this side of Hunts Junction, and
struck out at run over the hills, followed
by some of the tram men. Barg's legs were
evidently of good quality. as he soon dis

Queen of rivers, not the king,
De thy fretful waters sing
Of thy might!
Know then, this:

QueenlY ships will lordly ride,
'Mong'st thy dimples bright.
Do they, too, in playful glee,
Ripping, racing to the sea,
Think forever to be free?

Listen then:
There's story oft been told,
In the long gone days of old,
Of river, cavilling, bold,
Like to thee.
But the arts and thrift of man
Conquered her, as cGnquers can;
And the wealth of every land
Ger her bosom rolled.
Majestic stream!
Thou bears a mighty nations name,
One whose will to do bears fame,
In her grand march thy might she'll claim
Thy place is told.
Thou shalt turn the plodding wheel,
That revolyes the clustering mill
From source to bar.

Then thy queen, where shall it be?
From thy sources to the sea
Where thy star!

Thy jeweled queen--she waits her might
Streams aloft her shining light,
And that's-The Dalles.

Thursday, March 6. 1890. The deceased
had suffered for long time with that fell

sickness with meekness and in fortItuie,
and few hours before her death spoke to
each of the family with that kindness and
affection in way of advice and counsel that
made the impression that she was ready
and prepared to die. She leaves husband
and seven children-the Oldest, 10 years,
and the youngest 2 years old.
The funeral was largely attended on Sat-
urday. March s. when her remains were
buried in the Odd Fellows cemetery.

As an evidence of the changes that have
recently taken place at the company's 3
shops at this place, it may be noticed that
in the boiler makers shops, where two
weeks ago there were employed boiler
makers and IL helpers, now there are
boiler makers and helpers. In the black.
smith shops there were l3 fires, there are
now ii with helpers discharged. In the
machine shops there were 25 men, where
there is now half that number. In the car
repairing shop there were 20 to 25, now
6. Three men are in the mill and not suf-
fcient work for that number. In fact it is
said that not three-fifths of the men are
there now that were employed weeks ago.
The large lathe has been removed to Albina.
and the drill press to La Grande. The
large planer is also removed from here. but
its destination IS not known. No more en-.
gines are to come here for repairs, and no
new work is to be done here-only slight
repairs, SO says one high IN authority.

Hon. J. d. Lee for Governor.

Editor TIXxs- -AoUSIAINEER.
The many friends and political admirers
of Hon. j. D. Lee here, as we'll as else.
where, in the state are zealously advocating
his nomination as governor.
While there are many of Oregon's ci.izens
who would fill this Office oreditably to
themselves, and in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the people. yet the state con-
vention should look we'll to the probability
of electing the candidate nominated by
them.
Mr. Lee is we'll and favorably known all
over the state. For ten years he was a
leader in the Oregon legislature and has
never known defeat. He is purely an Ore.
gonian, having been reared aud educated
within this state. He has never affiliated
with any monopoly, plot or scheme for the
sake of personal greed, or pecuniary bene-
fits. His record is spotless as the alpine
snow, and he will be acceptable to the
whole people of Oregon. He is property
owner in Wasco county and is interested in
the development OF the Inland Empire, but
what is more be is an honest and able man,
aud will labor to serve the best interests of
the whole state.
The farmers and laboring men Of Oregon
will indorse the name of Hon. i. d. Lee
for governor, and hereby nominate the
Oregon boy and peoples friend for governor.

Editor TINES -MoUsTAINEER:
Yesterday your correspondent took a
short ride up Mill creek. and found the
roads in pretty fair condition despite cur
rent reports.
Farmers are busily engaged preparing for
spring work In earnest. Some have already
begun to work the soil. All seem hopeful
and in good spirits, having suffered little
more than the usual loss of stock this
winter.
In some places the high waters have
washed out gulies in the bottom lands
along the creek, but upon the whole the
Mill creek country has been very fortunate.
Buds of the fruit trees are beginning to
swell, and appearances promise bountiful
harvest of fruit. If the present mild
weather continues, Mill creek with its large
orchards, vineyards and berry gardens will
soon approach a immature resemblance OF
blooming paradise.
There are little crusts of snow still cling
ing 10 the ground at the extreme end Of the
settlements, and from the rocky cliffs of the
surrounding hills there hangs great gorges
of icicles that stand ont IN beautiful con-
trast to the green valley below.
The people seem to be wide-awake, and
fencing. buildings aud various other i'm
provements are going steadily on.
The voters of that school district will as
semble ON Monday next to decide the ques-
tion of removing .he schoolbouse to a more
convenient and central location.

valiant officers rushed toward and captured
him. Borg, who was without an overcoat,
was exhausted by his long run and the cold,
and could stand his cramped position no
longer. When asked why he ran away,
the prisoner stated that parties living in
the vicinity of Dry Creek had offered him
5000 to leave, and that. fearing harm if he
remained, he had concluded to 60 to San
Francisco He said they had paid him 500,
of which 500 still remained. On the re-

The DALLEs, Or, March 10, 1890.
Editor TINES -MoUNrAINHKR.
Since the appearance IN your paper, of
recent issue, of list of Wasco county 3
taxpayers who pay tax on more than
$4,000 worth Of property, there seems to he
some dissatisfaction relative to the assess
ment of some of our wealthy citizens. which
reflects unjustly upon Mr.. Gourlay's assess
ment.
To 20 through the whole list would re.
qulre too much space; but since the amount
assessed to Max Vogt l. Co. seems to reflect
the greatest injustice to Mr.. Gourlay's as.
sessment, especially when paraded by polit.
ical adversaries, let us examine the facts
and figures and see how easy it is for critics
to err when they jump at conclusions.
Msx Vogt Co. is composed of Max Vogt
and Mrs. Chapman. The company pays
tax, then Max Vogt and Mrs. Chapman
each pay tax on individual property.
When Max Vogt Co. appeared in the
list referred to it was generally supposed
that it included the individual property of
Max Vogt and Mrs. Chapman also.
Mr.. Packett, in 1883, assessed Max Vogt
Il Co. at $33, ,575, with no Indebtedness.
Mr.. Gourlay's gross assessment of tine same
company for 1889 was $50, 600, with in.
debtedness this year of S24. $50, deducting
such indebtedness and we have $25, $50:
hence this sum appeared in the list, and it
has been supposed that this sum was the
amount for which Max Vogt, Max Vogt &
Co. and Mrs. Chapman was assessed,
Let us see what the gross assessment of
those individuals really was. We have seen
that Max Vogt & Co. was assessed for $50,
600. Mrs. Chapman $44OO, Max Vogt
$49sO and fourteen outstanding mortgages
upon which mortgagors pay the tax aggre-
eating s23. 95. making the total gross
assessment of those three individuals. com.
monty known as Max Vogt, $50. .623. 95.
TINS may be low assessment, but let each
fair-minded farmer reflect upon his own
assessment this year and we think 1t will
compare favorably with the general assess
ment of the county.
Let each Taxpayer reflect before he in.
dulges harsh judgments and he will not
condemn a man who strove to do justice to
all, and whose sympathy has been with our
people during the year of adversity, and
who has we'll and truly discharged the
duties of his Office, as records and figures
will show. B. F. HoKE

EIGHT MILE, March 10, 1890.
Editor TIMES -MoUNTAISEER:
Farmers more than any one else are IN
terested in having good roads. For the last
four or five years our roads have been in a
very bad condition during the busy season;
one cause for this was on account of the
districts being too large for one man to
oversee.
During the January term of the county
court, the road districts were changed, but
instead OF being reduced in size. they were
made larger, until road district No. Is, con-
tanned nearly l20 miles of road. Citizens
complained, and a petition for division OF
the district was signed by great number
of them and presented to the court: but We
are informed that no change can be made
during the present year. And so it seems
that county court has power to change a
road district against the wish of every citi-
zen in the district. Yet we are told that
this is government by the people, for the
people. A FARMER.
