The Southern Pacific made another
important move in its fight against
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company between Albany and Port
land Monday. The tariff from here to
Portland and Albany will be IL! cents

Of freight, and ten cents for the re-
naming Six classes, From Portland
and Albany to San Francisco the rate
will be from forty to twenty cents per
hundred.
II has beeen stated that the Southern
Pacific officials will soon take the
passenger coach off the Lebanon
branch and put on caboose In order
to cut down expenses, as passenger
coaches are charged milage, while the
cabooses are not. If our citizens don't
want to ride in eaboose every time
they go to Albany, now is the time to
kick, and commence circulating petit
ton to the contrary, 1t Is bad enough
the way IT has been without making it
worse.

The statement has been printed that
Mrs. Hannah, now confined in the
penitentiary, is the first Oregon wo-
man ever confined there for murder.
The statement has caused the Salem
Post to say that old timers, hawever,
will remember the case of Mrs. Charity
Lamb, of Clackamas county. One
morning in 1857 she got her husband
his breakfast, and when he sat down
to partake of it she slipped out to the
woodpile, secured the ak, and, coming
up behind him, split his head open.
She was sentenced 10 the penitentiary
for life, and, it is said, died there.
The penitentiary gates opened Mon
day for the reception of Willis and AL
len Jordan, the well known culprits
who have terrorized the residents of
the Willamette valley for several years
past, says the Salem Statesman. They
came from Polk county and will be

and u half years respectively. A few
months ago they committed highway
robbery by holding up pig-tailed

county. Aliens sentence was made
lighter by reason of his having plead
guilty to the charge after his brother
was convicted. Another one from
Polk county was Jim Conlee, who not
long since stole lot of bacon from his
neighbor. For this he was tried, con.
victed and sentenced to two years and

THE COLORADO UTEs.

The report Of Captains John Q. Cam
non and George w. Gibbs, of the Utah
National Guard, to Governor West, de-
failing their journey to the San Juan
region and their visit to the Indian
camps, is both valuable and interest
ing. 1t establishes the fact that the
stories told by Indian Agent Day were
untrue, as the indications have shown
all along The proofs are furnished
that a. large number of Indians ponies
and other stock are still in Utah and
that the complaints of the settlers are
well founded.
The journey has been hard one,
and only stalwarts could perform it
successfully at this inclement season.
The gentlemen who undertook it have
performed great public service and
are to be highly commended. AS the
Ute reservation business is likely to be
settled through the bill which has
passed the Senate, 1t is probable that
the trouble in San Juan and Grand
counties will soon be removed, and
that the Indians will have better
country than their present reservation.

Cannon and Gibbs have been perform

there are to be congratulated on their

the canvass of all the returns has been
effected. And no certificate should be

The bowling for those certificates

are not to be issued until February 5,

then the canvass may be completed

the Commission will keep within the

MINISTER'S, RESOLUTIONS.

The resolutions adopted by certain
ministers, as published in another
column of this paper, are in the main
in the right direction. But there are
implications in them that sare unfair,
and yet too vague and indefinite to
criticize directly, because there is no
doubt as to what they mean.
The alleged plan to count out in
four or five counties the candidates
who were elected as delegates to the
Constitutional Convention" has not
been shown to exist, nor is there any
proof of a "villainous attempt to count
in those who were not elected" That
is too much like political buncombe to
be INDUCED in by Christian ministers.
It has been shown by evidence in
court that some Of the returns of cleo
tion have been tampered with. By
whom has not yet developed. The
assumption that there is a. plan to
count in some members and, count out
others from four or five counties is an
indirect attack upon somebody not
mentioned, and is unworthy Of the per-
sons whose names are signed to the
resolutions.
The last of the resolutions is all
right. The proper authorities should
do their best to trace out and punish
the person or persons who committed
the frauds that have been exposed.
And those who say they know who
they are should be required to give
such information as they possess. We
all want honesty in elections. We also
want honesty in denmiciation of
wrong, not fnsfnuations that cannot be
substantiated by proof.
