Harvey Lake.

Harney lake in summer time is one of the
prestiest bodies of water in the state. 1t is
not really lake, but miniature sea, the
water being salt and of beautiful blue
color. 1t is IA miles in length by 10 miles
in width, covering an area of more than l40
square miles.
There is movement on foot to build a
steamboat to be sailed upon this body of
water next summer, but whether or not it
will materialize into anything practical re-
mains to be seen. Many visitors to this
great valley would be far better entertained
and would enjoy the sceney Of that beautl-
full lake much better were there pleasure
boat upon it, who now give it the more pas
sing compliment of being ''very pretty
lake." This miniature inland sea is doubt
less destined at no very far distant time to
become one Of the leading pleasure resorts
of this part OF the state. It is now the
sportsmen's paradise, for in the spring and
nearly every imaginable sort of water fowls
from the little screaming sea gull to the
large-billed pelican and the graceful swan.
Wild geese are there IN millions, the gray
variety, together with the ducks remaining
all winter and being found there at all sea-
sons. There are now large settlements
along the Malheur lake shores, probably
fifty families teing located there, besides
those on the small streams running into the
lakes. All are prosperous and happy, and
willing to do anything for the upbuilding of
our inland empire. Harvey Like is nearly
surrounded by mountains and sand reef,
and has very little margin susceptible of
while every foot of the Nal.
hours shores Is cultivatible, and responds
abundantly to the plow. Harney lake is
destined for great pleasure resort, and
that it will certainly be in the near future

The awe-inspirIng and terrific screams of
this noble bird, combined with its
PERFECT HARMLESSNESS,
are now we'll known. Any person may,
with the greatest impunity, kick or spit up
on it. or pull feathers out of its tail, so that
much sport may derived from its
FEROCIOUS DEMONSTRATION,
at which no one need feel the least afraid.

1t is very doubtful that tie same
divinity that doth hedge around kings
will act in the same benevolent manner
towards Mr.. Cleveland. Tammany
drew the winning card in the last
election in New York, and appears to
hold this advantage in the presidential
campaign. To unseat this old ring of
politicians will require determined
effort, and if the members hold their
prestige Mr.. Cleveland will not be the
candidate. The Republicans may
elect their candidate without New
York; but the Democrats, never.
For this reason, the question resolves
itself into query, whether it were
better to suffer the ills consequent upon
the dictation of corrupt ring of poll
ticians, with small chance of success,
or by opposing them to sacrifice this
opportunity. This is conundrum
which will cause our friends, the enc
my, to ponder before they take de-
termined stand.

Meddlesome pennoyer.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The committee
on transportation routes TO the seaboard
sent to the war department Senator
Mitche!l's ooat railway bill. and has re =
ceived report from the engineers and
the secretary strongly endorsing the
scheme, and urging this congress to pass
it. The committee will have meeting
Thursday to consider the report of the
department. 1t has been the judgement
OF the engineers In the war department
for some time past that boat railway
was the only feasible scheme for getting
around the obstruction of the Columbia
river al the dalles, unless an extensive
project of locks aud dams should be in
augurated. Representative Hermann has
been working in the house to secure an
appropriation for portage railway, but
this cannot be passed because of the op-
position to any scheme for the govern
ment building and controlling railway.
The fact is, there has been vast deal OF
demagoguery in connection with the
dalles Improvement, and Governor Pen
noysr is at the bottom of 1t and is the
man who is causing SO much trouble to
the delegation here. Governor Pennoyer
wrote TO the chief of engineers in Wash
iDgtop, urging the portage railway
scheme. The engineers did not honor
him with reply. Ii is understood that
he has also written 10 Speaker Crisp and
other Democrats in the house saying
that it would he a strong Democratic
card to play if they would pass the
portage railway bill, aud By all means to
defeat any project for boat railway
scheme, as proposed bg Senator Mitchell
ana strongly backed up by Senator
Doph. Mr.. Hermann says he would
favor the boat railway scheme if there
was any possibility of getting 1t through
the. house, but he is convinced from his
talk with the Democratic members that
such bill would be crushed. 1t is evil
dent that certain Democrats, following
Governor Pennoyer's suggestion, have
talked somewhat favorable of the portage
railway scheme; but this is only blind,
as the committee does not intend to re-
port any such bill, nor would the house
pass 1t. There may be congress at
some after time which will pass the boat
railway bill. but neither this house nor
any other will build railroad.

A little discussion is being carried
on as to what constitutes an independ.
ent newspaper. There is broad dis
tinction, says the Yamhlll Reporter,
between an independent and neutral
press. Some of the most independent
newspapers as well as persons we have
known were the most ardent and
steadfast partisans; the most slavish
we have known were of the neutral
stripe, ruled by their innate cowardice
and avarice rather than their conv;c-
tions. Partisans who are partisans
from conviction and courage. are apt
to be independent, and they are factors
in the political organizations to which
they adhere.

Sometime this evening it is expected that
two eight-ton rifle cannon will pass through
this city en- route for Fort Candy. their fual
destination. These guns are shipped by
the government for coast defense, from the
east, and while by no means of the most ap-
proved make are formidable weapons of war.
Each gun weighs a little less than l6,
pounds, and when ready for use are able to
shoot projectile, ITO pounds in weight. a
distance of FIVE miles. The shipment was
probably made to show the Chilian govern
ment that the United States was getting
ready to fight, but now that the possIbili-
itles of war have died "abornin" the guns
will be allowed to slowly rust away at Fort
Candy along with the rest of the antiquated
armament in service at that post.

the Chilian trouble has been settled
is evidence that there are statesmen at
the head of the present administration,
who thoroughly comprehend the best
policy for nation to pursue. War,

it is, not a gun has been fired, and

Some unhung miscreant loaded piece of

and then set 1T on fire in L. G. Perry's yard.
An explosion Immediately followed. A
portion of the pipe passed through the front
part of the building just oyer Miss Perry's
bedroom. Another piece went through the
kitchen portion of the building and lodged,
so we are told, in the ceiling. Mr.. Perry
