An Old Fight.

The Walla Walla Statesman,
in commenting on the probabilities
Of the division question in this
county coming up at the next cleo
tionon says:
The first gun for another division
campaign in Umatilla county next
June has been fred by citizens Of
the eastern end. 1t was in the
shape of a mass meeting held at
Weston on Saturday, the object
purporting to be to adopt resolu-
tions condemning the county court
and county clerk for their action in
the much mooted Lee street bridge
affair. The citizens of Milton de-
sire that an injunction suit be COM
menced against the payment of
certain county scrip issued in pay
ment for the construction
Of this bridge within the
corporate limits of Pendleton.
The meeting was not as we'll at
tended as anticipated and Weston
did not seem to be in sympathy
with Milton. 1t seems to be a
fight between the latter town, and
Pendleton and is probably the
commencement of another division
campion with Milton in the role
of champaign for the eastern end.
Umatilla county will never be
divided, however, while Athena,
Weston and Milton cannot agree.
1t has always been a three corner
ed fight, and so it will continue
unless Athena and Weston could
pool and incorporate under the
same name.

What Does He Buy.

The question, "What does a
man buy when he purchases the
title to farmW has often been
asked, but not satisfactorily deter
mined. From the latest decision
on the subject, says the Globe
Democrat, it is plain that he buys
the ground, of course, and all the
buildings erected on it, whether
they are mentioned or not. He
also buys all the fences, but not
material once used, then taken
down and laid aside, nor material
purchased for a new fence, unless
these are specially mentioned. He
also buys all adjuncts necessary to
the farm except implements and
machinery. For instance, if there
is pile of bean poled cut aud
once used they are the sellers
property, unless specified as sold.
Standing trees and trees that have
fallen or blown down go with the
ground, but if cut down and made
into cord wood, they become per-
sonal and must be specified in the
sale.

Camped With the Party.

The latest news from Missoula,
received by telegraph on Wednes-
day, is to the effect that the relief
party from Fort Missoula in search
of the Carlin hunting party has
been recalled and all search aban-
doned, A man named Larsen,
living near Lolo, camped with the
hunting party about three weeks
ago on the middle fork of the Clear
water, They were with couple
of French boys who have prospect
ed there, and are we'll supplied
with food for the winter, having
500 pounds of flour and plenty Of
meat. The relief party from the
fort can only return by the way
of the trail, and all transportation
will be left where it is until spring,
as it is impossible to get it out this
winter

The Farmer is a Crank.

The farmer is crank beca use
he wants to borrow money at 2 per
cent, instead of 12 to 16 per cent!
Because he wants the govern
ment to deal with him on the same
basis that it does with other men!
Because he wants more than 25
cents per bushel for his wheat and
7 cents a pound for cotton
Because he kicks against freight
rates and causes the railroad own
ers to become rich and him poor!
Because he kicks against paying
Is per cent Of the taxes when he
owns 25 per cent Of the property
and half of that mortgage!
Because he protests against
condition that condemns the real
wealthproducers to a life Of toll,
while the speculator lives in luxur-
Gus easel
Because he has discovered that
he has been deceived by his political
friends( s(P)and has concluded to
vote Independently
Because he assumes to know
anything at oil about politicsl
Because he refuses to be dictated
to as in the pastl
Because he refuses to be robbed
and then vote for the robber!
Because he has made up his
mind to quit being a fooll
Oh, yes the farmer is a crank
He was all, he was everything
as long as he did just what the poll
itician told him to dol
But when he decided to be some
thing of a politician himself it was
'just too awfully awfulp
Besause he wanted to do his own
thinking and acting he was the
crankiest kind of a crank Why
don't he go on and support the
bosses in fat offices as of old,
allowing them to steal him poor
and then to go to the poor house?
He wouldn't be a crank thenl Oh,
.noi--Ex.

Gone to California.

B. S. Pague, Oregon's forecaster,
has taken charge of California
weather and has located at San
Francisco. The Examiner saws.
"Mr. Pague is from Portland, Ore,
and for some time it is natural to
expect that he will labor under the
disadvantage of predicting rain
oftener than it comes. He will be
somewhat in the position of the
Mississippi valley farmer, told Of
in ancient history, who visited Ari-
zona and was tempted by the ap.
pearance of threatening clouds to
ventureSan opinion that shower
would shortly ensue. The same
antique chronicle records that
dusty inhabitant of the land of
cactus replied: you may be right
stranger, but the chances are
against you, as | have been here
for twenty years and it hasn't
rained yet"

She had lost the little ass
check given her at the day nursery
in the fair grounds in exchange for
her baby, and she was in dread
full state Of mind. To make mat
ters worse the matron would not
surrender the babe in the absence
of the check. because childless
mothers had been known to attempt
to steal children from similar in
situtions, claiming pretty young
sters and pretending 10 have lost
their checks.
In this case the woman was so
homely and SO plainly dressed and
the baby of two years was so pref
ty and SO richly attired that the
matron's suspicious were aroused.
"No check, no baby" was the
concise summary of her decision.
The mother pleaded in vain and
her tears flowed in torrents, so aw-
full was the predicament in which
she, a stranger alone in the city,
was placed.
'Let the baby decide" she i'm
plored.
Matron Hall consented to the
trial. Twenty youngsters of about
the same age were ranged in row
in the nursery and the nearly
crazed mother was admitted under
promise that she would not speak
or otherwise attract the attention
Of the toddlers. The trial was
brief and satisfactory. One cherub
had no sooner laid its eyes upon
the fearful woman than it fairly
howled; Mamma! Mammal" and
ran to her as fast as possible. The
mother caught the little one to her
breast, smothered it with her kiss
es and wept more copiously than
ever. The baby's evidence was ac-
cepted as conclusive proof.-Chica-
go Tribune.
