The committee Of county judges, who
are considering amendments TO the state
laws, met Tuesday in Portland and dis
cussed several matters, the most import
ant Of which was the question Of provid-
ing for the payment Of outstanding war
rants Of different counties. These war
rants in many Of the counties are sub
jected TO large discount and the judges
agreed some method would have 10 be
employed TO pay them.
The Long Greek Eagle very sensibIy
says: The salary OF county commits
sioner should be insreased from $3 TO $5
per day while engaged in the transac-
tion Of the business Of the county. A
county should have its very best men to
handle Its finances, and no man can
leave his business and be at the expense
that most commissioners are, for the
paltry sum Of $3 per day. II should be
incpeased to at least $5 per day.
" The train arriving In Baker City on
Friday evening had among it's passen-
gers fair maiden who had travelled
many hundreds Of miles from her "dear
old Southern home" in the state Of Vir-
ginia, TO meet her lover, whom she had
never seen, but with whom she had be-
come acquainted through correspondence
in matrimonial paper. She is Miss
Armenia Gwyne, about 45 years Old,
and came to marry Caleb Noxly, farm
or, aged about 60.
There is some complaint by parties
living along the road between here and
Arlington that certain teamstcrs are not
averse to "sniping" such things that
they happen to find lying around loose,
in the absence OF their owners. A few
days ago some one purloined several
sacks Of wheat belonging to Jesse Nye
and double and single trees belonging
to Tobey Thompson. This is danger
our practice and II continued will result
in some unpleasant litigation.
Several newcomers have recently ta.
ken up their residence In this neigh bor-
hood, and are combating cheerfuIly
with the usual rigors OF an upper De-
schutes winter. Among them is a Mr..
Quimby and family, Mr.. Hawthorne
and family and Mr.. Osborn. Mr.. os-
born has history. lie it was who, as
a baby, was placed under the floor and
his mouth filled with rags to keep him
from crying out, when the Whitman
massacre occurred. .--Prineville Review.
A great many OF our readers doubtless
are not aware that the empire Of China
is as large as il is. II lacks only little
Of being double the size OF the United
States. The population OF the u. S. is
about 5000 600, while that OF China is
over 400,000,000. So dense is China's
population that, we learn from reliable
authority, not one-half OF her people,
especially those in the interior, know Of
the war yet, and that little japan is
licking the stuifing out Of their coun-
try.
George Shurtum of Umatilla county,
representative-elect, wilintroduce bill
next month which will provide that
after certain date no narrow-tired wng-
ons shall be sold. Mr.. Shurtum says
his reason for this action is that narrow
tires cut up the roads much more than
broad tires, and in this country the
character OF the soil is such as to make
precautions necessary to prevent rem
ldering the roads impassihle. Narrow
Tired wagons are used more than former
ly and Mr.. Shurtum thinks the change
will be advantageous.
! An old negro preacher once said /:
"Dere am but de two roads-one OF desc
leads up to peridition and de oder down
TO damnation." 'If dat am de caae,''
said brother in the audience, "it is
about time for dis colored individual to
take to de woods" This Is just where
the farmer finds himself today. If he
does not raise much wheat, oats and hay
he has nothing to SELL and that is the
cause of hard times. II he raises much
there is an over production, and that
causes hard times. There, therefore, is
no alternative--he must take to the
woods. .-Ex.
