Since leaving here both gentlemen
have done considerable travelling

will be many mining men from the

Adams says that while the eastern
people are very intelligent as a rule,
there are many who provoked his
good nature by asking in "what
part of Colorado is Idaho situated?"
Both the gentlemen think that
Idaho will have a boom this year.

The account Of the Mt View
mine published in the BULLETIN Of
the 18th inst. was by no means ex-
aggerated. Twelve tons Of rich ore
is about the average daily yield.

Mrs. Ethel and Cy. Doom, arrived
in Min. Home last Friday and will
come on to Pine Grove as soon as
the roads are passable for teams.
The Pine Grove Mining Company
is about to resume operations here.
A gentleman who has just arrived
from the east is trying 10 straighteu

mill may be expected to commence
dropping its stamps at an early
date. The Gold Hill is good
mine but for some unexplained
reason has not been worked this
winter.

Hon. F. A. Mcdonald, formerly
register of the land office in this city
and now a resident of Seattle, Wash,
is again in print in to-day's Ore
goniaaa, in an apology for the letter
which he wrote last November, and in
contradiction Of the statements then
made. When one man contradicts
another, the quality Of the testimony
must be carefully considered; but
when q man denies what he has once
said, to arrive at the truth or falsity
of the assertions, surrounding circum-
stances must govern the statements.
Last November, when Mr.. Mcdonald
wrote the letter which has attained
such notoriety, he was not under the
domination of the Democratic central
committee, and wrote what is pre-
sumed to be facts. In Seattle, now,
when the campaign in the state of
Oregon is at the highest, Mr.. McDon-
amid stultiGes himself, and says what
he said thea did not mean what
the words ordinarily imply. We
are creditai,ly informed by personal
friend Of his, that Mr.. McDonald's
attention was called to the fact at the
time that the letter would be used
against Gov. Pennoyer, but he replied
that he "dId not care; that if Pen
noyer was re- elected it would be a
disgrace to the state" The first letter
was written as a confidential docu-
ment, not to he made public. The
last letter is written for publication,
to bolster up the falling fortunes Of
the Democratic candidate for Cover.

La our article published last week
We stated that the governor, secretary
of state and state treasurer were the
board of land commissioners. In this
we were mistaken, and we Willingly
acknowledge our error. In the latest
revision OF our statutes, Hills Code
page 1868, is the follow ing:
"The governor of this state IS hereby
appointed land commissioner for tile
state of Oregon, and empowered to
locate the lands to which this state is
entitled under the laws of the United
States or otherwise"
In the Session Laaos of 1887, page
"a, the governors duties as land COM
missioner, are further defined:
"When any such application is filed
for the purchase of land, to be selected
in lieu OF the sixteenth and thirty
sixth sections or to compensate for de-
fciency of school land in fractional
townships the said application shall
state the sixteenth or thirty-sixth sec,
tions or fractional township in lieu of
which the land is to be taken, and the
land commissioner shall thereupon
select the said land in the proper land
Office" etc.
1t viii be seen that neither the sec
retary of state or state treasurer have
anything to do with the selection of
school lands or lieu lands, and that
the governor, as land commissioner, is
directed to select the school indemnity
lands.

The letter of Hon. e. A. Mcdonald
and Hon. T. w. Susher on indemnity
school lands cannot be answered or con-
tradicted. This was written as con-
fidential document, never intended to
be made public. and contained uncon-
trovertible facts. The last letter was
written for campaign purposes, and 1T
S tinctured all through with PARTISAN
ship. Settlers on our public domain,
with the truth set before them regard
ing these indemnity school lands,
should consider well before they re-
ceive an excuse from those implicated.
The best portions of the public domain
should be for home-seekers and home-
builders and not for a syndicate of
capitalists.

fish to that city, and at the convening
of the next grand jury for Wasco
county we believe Mr.. Pennoyer was
present. No Indictment was found,
and Mr.. Taffe was not forced to
answer the charge. At this time we
are creditably informed the law was
violated at Astoria almost daily, and
no attention paid to the matter. The
reason of this was that the fishermen
at the mouth of the Columbia had
formed an union, and could COM
mand from $50 to 200 votes. Gov
Pennoyer true to his instincts of dcm-
agoeism-the same that actuated him
during the anti Chinese riot in Port
land-did no. want to antagonize this
combination; but Taffe was only a
single individual, and he could freely
persecute him without any danger OF
disastrous consequences.
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1890-05-31

There can be no accusation of fraud
or corruption against any man who
purchased valuable indemnity land
for $3.50 an acre. This was simply a
business transaction, and would be
done by any sagacicus person. If Mr..
Hilton or Mr.. Cartwright purchased
these lands for the price named we
can see nothing wrong in the matter,
and cannot see what excuse the fact
of their purchase furnishes for the gov.
ernor's action in selecting the lands or
in selling them to the syndicate before
they were properly listed in the land
office. The desirable lands in the
state in the indemnity limits should,
if possible, be preserved for the benefit
OF the home seeker, and not be bar.
gained away to the capitalist at the
price, and by them (before
deeds were issued sold at an advance of
s.. % per acre. The governor is the
land commissioner, and should Go the
selecting. AS executive of the state, he
should have guarded with the greatest
jealousy the public domain. Whether
1e has done this or not, we will refer
'ur readers to the published letter.

THE BALLOT SYSTEM.

The plank in the Republican plat
form recommending the adoption of
the Australian ballot system has re-
ceived very little attention during the
present campaign. This reform is
much needed in the United States and
especially in Oregon. If republican
ism is the rule of the people, the ballot
should be the most powerful factor,
and every effort should be used to rid
politics of its corrupting influences.
The manner in which elections are
managed now, is simply the success
of tricksters over the adherents of
principles. frequently the wish of
the, people has become subservient to
the desire of the demagogue, and the
vote of the honest citizen has been
neutralized by the influence of wealth
and corporations. The best sentiment
of the country has for years past been
engaged in maturing some plan by
which these evils could be averted,
and giving to the ballot the power in
tended by the founders of the coun-
try-the voice of the sovereign people.
The system which promises relief in
this regard is the one originated in
Australia, and now in force in Eng
land and her colonies. This plan
should be adopted in Oregon, and we
are happy to state that Hon. d. P.
Thompson, who has risen from the
wage-earners and tollers to his present
position, is heartily In favor of this
movement. He was a member of the
first club formed in Portland for this
purpose, and headed the list in the
petition to the legislature We are
informed that Pennoyer's name is not
found on the list, and when he was ap-
preached on the subject gave an evasive
answer. From this, all electors can
come to the conclusion that if they
desire their plans to be forwarded
they should support Thompson, and
not Pennoyer. The latter was born
an aristocrat, and has no sympathy
with the laboring poor except for po-
litical purposes; while the former has
won his way by constant conflict from
tke lowest classes to his present COM
manding position. Mr.. Thompson be-
iieves in the supremacy of the people,
sympathizes with the laborer in all
his hardsbips by actual experience;
while Pennoyer only manifests the in
terest that the demagogue always does
LIN securing the votes. There should
be no hesitation among honest toilers
regarding whom they will support in
the impending contest.

aging SEASON for our wool interests
and the favorable enc of 1888, when
the country was in doubt whether
Grover Cleveland would be elected
and there would be another four years
of tariff agita.lon-th price paid now
is much higher than tLen. The r@ason
is apparent to the most casual OBJ
server. In 1858 the wiuter had been
favorable TO the production OK plump
1eeces, and the fibre was long and in
excellent condition, yet the price paid
in many instances was cnly cents;
this year the fleeces are in the poorest
condition, consequent upon hard
Writer, and there are few buyers in
the market; yet IA! cents have been
paid fer feeees and l l cents for pelts.
As buyers become more plentiful the
price will advance several cents. We
are nov under Republican admins
tration, and the industries Of the
country are on a substantial basis,
withcus fear CT foreign competition.
This is an argument IN favor of the
American doctrine of protection and
against the British monarchicaI heresy
of free trade.
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1890-05-31

As the campaign nears the close it
may be expected that the weaker
party will resort to all kinds of
schemes to regain strength. The let
ter of the register and receiver Of the
land Office, two lifelong Democrats,
was hot shot poured with>deadly effect
into the camp, and every means will
be used to counteract its effect upon
the honest, bona fde settlers of the
counties in this district. The integ-
rity Of Mr.. Mcdonald has never been
questioned, and in writing to the in
terror department in the language he
did he sacrificed his political affiliations
in favor of right and justice; Mr..
Slusher, the former receiver, now
sleeps in an honored grave, and bore
spotless character IN every position in
life be filed. He was the soul of in
tegrity and honor, and no one can
call in question his motives when he
signed his name to the document.
There are other creditable witnesses
to the facts contained in the letter,
who will substantiate the statements
if necessary. There are other vulner-
able points in the lines of the De-
mocracy which, during the coming
week, attempts will be- made to
strengthen, and all manner of expla-
nations will be made to regain the
confidence of the people of the state.
The Democracy entered the fight with
very fair hopes of success, and Re-
publicans were placed on the defen-
sive. Bat the contendipg forces have
changed, and Democrats are forced to
make .he most strenuous efforts to
keep their lines in any way intact.
One week only will elapse for Demo.
Gratis to remedy their blunders, and
this seems impossible. The Waterloo
defeat of 1883 will be repeated in
1890.
