Long Creek Eagle: Indian Joe and his |
cultus outfit are again in Grant county, |
presumably to collect wool from the |

sheep will not all be those that have died |
from the effects of the cold, cisagreeable |
weather OF the past winter. Grant county |
sent several Indians to the "pen" last year
for killing sheep, and the Eagle predicts
the same this year il Indian Joe and his
outfit are allowed the liberty they desire.
This is right to the point from the col
umDs of our contemporary, the Sun: Speak

dustrles; how many men, who smoke, when
they light cigar imported from some
other state), think of The Dalles Cigar fac.
tory, Messrs. A. q rich & Son make as
good cigars, If not better one, than the
imported domestic. Now is the time to
think of these things and lay fastidiousness
aside. 1t has been estimated that The
Dailes consumes annually $3.50. 600 worth
of goods that could be made at home equal
TO the articles imported from other cities"

In speaking of the greed of Salem in re.
gard to the Soldiers Home the Albany
Herald says: THE results of this injunc.
tion if sustaILed, not only to put quIetus
on the Soldiers Home but also on the |
branch insane asylum in Eastern Oregon,
and also to remove the state university,
agricultural college and the normal schools
to Salem. Possibly in the near future the
constitution, with the aid of Salem's selfish
ness, may be able to draw the Portland and
Astoria custom houses, the thr. land
offices, Mount Hood, the falls of the Will
annette, Mount Jefferson, the Three Sisters
and Crater Lake to the seat of government.

Statesman: Governor Pennoyer occupied
the executive chair yesterday grinding,
out notaries and attending to his own
business, as usual, and trusting the presi-
dent Is able to do the same. Since his
arrival up to this time, the governor has

amount of correspondence that demands
his attention Is something enormous
