To show the efficiency of the postofIice
department, the following is an occur.
renee which happened in connection
with one of our citizens: Last summer
he purchased ticket at Seattle to Chi
cago, via the Canadian Pacific, which
was to take him as far as Port Arthur
by rail, and from that point the journey
was by lake steamer to Chicago. When
he arrived at Port Arthur he found his
steamer had departed the day before
The agent stamped his ticket "No
steamer This entitled him to a draw
back on the company for the price OF
the ticket from Port Huron to Chicago,
and when he arrived at the latter city
he presented the ticket for the amount
to the Canadian Pacific agent there,
who refused to honor it, claiming it was
10 be paid at Seattle, and referred him
10 the agent at that point. He mailed
the ticket to Seattle, with the request
that the amount be forwarded to him at
San Francisco, giving street and house
number The letter was not properly
addressed and was placed amongst the
advertised letters, and then in proper
time sent to the dead letter Office in
Washington. After the dead letter en-
ployees had read the writer's address,
they mailed the letter to San rancisco,
with the usual request that on its re-
eeipt tnat ne notify the department, He
had left San Francisco for Astoria be-
fore the letter reached there, but his
friends sent it to him here, and in due
time he received it; but failed to COM
ply with the request So yesterday Post
master Hare received instructions from
Washington to look the matter up and
notify them, which he did. Surely for
two cents invested in postage stamp
Uncle Sam gives a great deal OF ser
vice.

The lad tainted and had to be carried
to his home. No bones were broken, and
it is not expected that the injuries will
be more than sufficient to keep him in
the house for day or two.

The prestof the state is speak
ing quite freely Of the growing tide
of immigration from the East to
Oregon. The forerunners of an
army Of several hundred Thousand
people are now arriving on every
train, The hundreds of thousands
undoubtedly are to come In the
next two wears. No one can doubt
that the population of Oregon will
double within five years and con-
tain nearly million people,
Thousands of families in the Da-
kotas, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Missouri and Kansas will come to
Oregon in the next six months.
These states have all been more or
less afflicted with drought, short
crops and intolerable suffering from
hot weather the past year. In
some of those, vast areas were llt-
orally burnt up by the heat and
drought, causing great suffering,
destitution and depopulation. The
people in those sections have food
for neither themselves nor stock,
and have no water or fuel. About
SO families are now on the road
headed for Oregon, and between
I 400 and 500 families from Nebraska
will also soon start to findPhomes
in Oregon. Gillian county should
make an effort to secure portion
of this immigration. This county
/ is able to support a population OF
/ 100000. AT present it has only
about $500. We want thousands
of people, but we don't want thous.
ands of people who reach here dead
broke. We want people with some
money, not necessarily fortunes;
but enough SO that they will be
self supporting. Don't come here
to be supported-we are not poor
house, but come with enough tc
settle upon and improve the mil
lions of acres of the fine govern.

Unto orchards, and smaller wheat

The Public Christmas Tree.

The following from the Harney News
seems to hit the mai sqoarely upon the
head:
No one who has given the subject
proper thought will regret the absence
OF public Christmas tree in Harvey
this year. The time was, perhaps, when
Il celebration OF Christmas after this
fashion was as appropriate rs it was
commendahle, but not so now. The
evident object sought in this mode oi
observance in the years gone by was to
please the little ones. But modern Gus
tom dictates differently. Only COM
paratively few Of the children are now
priyeleged to gather fruit from public
Christmas tree. The gifts that are given
and received nowadays from tree are
mostly between grown up people. And
public tree only presents public dis
play of what the rich can do and what
the poor cannot do. Now, those who
are abundantly able to make costly pres
ents to their children or their friends,
and feel like doing it, should by all
means make them; hut to make pub
lie display OF them to Il houseful Of poor
people is wrong. We have witnessed
such displays with feelings Of disgust
many times. One little child receives
from tree gold watch or silk dress,
and its fair but poor companion, who
sits by its side, gets scanty sack ol
candy. Whose sympathy would not 60
out to that poor child? For reasons
here given, and for many more that
might he enumerated, we are opposed
to the modern public Christmas tree.
