This ends the anxiety Of the election ol
a U s. senator.
A lobby at Salem Ia at work against
reduction OF salaries and emoluments.
Can any honest member Of the legislature
listen TO such argument with patience +?
Why should men be permitted to draw
from the public treasury many times as
much money as they have ability TO
make In any private occupation? Re-
lief Of the people demands that salaries
and emoluments be reduced, to go into
effect at once.---Oregonian.
AS will be seen by his notice elsew here
in this issue, Atty. T. Il. Lyons will for
awhile take charge Of the law Office at
Heppner, just made vacant by the death
Of his former partner, j. w. Dawson.
He expects to start for IIeppner next
Monday, going via Arlington. Mr.. Ly-
ons will be greatly missed here, as BY
his honest treatment Of patrons and
courteous manner to all, he has won the
entire confidence and esteem Of all the
best people In this county. His brother
John expects TO be admitted to the bar
In the spring aud will then assist him
in his law practice, which is quite ex-
tensive In Gillian and Morrow counties.
The Aurora, published Mt Joseph, the
county seat Of Wallowa comfy, says
"0nr clerk and sheriff are doing the
work OF their offices without putting the
county 10 the expense OF deputy hire
Before election they represented them.
selves as friends Of our taxpayers, and
now they are proving II by doing the
work alone and saving the taxpayers
the unnecessary expense Of deputy hire
They deserve much credit therefor as
our county just now s sorely in need Of
such heroic measures from Its officers.
II every county official will from now on
saye for the county every dollar that can
be saved, II is safe to say that but few
years will elapee until We can liqnidate
the county debt, which has been grow
ing at dangerous rate"
The slaughter OF cattle by fridays
down freight was terrific one, says the
La Grande Chronicle. II occurred a
short distance this side Of Baker City,
where there is a large FIJI in the track
The cattle, about l50 in number, had
gotten through the railroad fence in
some fashion, and almost the entire
band was huddled together on the track
when sighted by the engineer, Joe Ball,
who whistled an alarm. To this they
paid no attention, and before he could
stop, the heavy engine crashed into the
bunch Of cattle like cannon ball, the
shock being scarcely perceptible. Twen-
ty-three Of the animals were killed or
wounded, and the scene Of gore and
carnage was trightful to behold.
The Fossil paper has nearly as much
influence as bedbug. For several
months that paper has been fiIIed up
with abuse Of Senator Dolph--and yet
our joint senator and preventative
both were strong supporters of Dolph
and voted for him. The nation IL saved,
though, for the Journal in its last issue
says "it would rather see Dolph elected
than that Mr.. David would give its in
huential (?) editor cause to despise him. !"
That would be national calamity, sure
enough. As the Journal does not offer
the same apology for Mr.. Steiwer, 1t is
evident he is despised by the aforesaid
influential (P) editor, and the probabil-
ity is that he Is so "put ont" about Mr.
Steiwer not voting as per his desire,
that he will take Mr.. Steiwer's nd out OF
his paper, II is an awful calamity to be
despised by such an editor.
A. b. Lamb OF Fossil and S. q. Haw-
son and Il. w. Daggett OF Arlington are
also favorably spoken Of for the position
OF county clerk, to take the place Of Jay
p. Lucas after his resignation. All are
staunch republicans and thoroughly
competent to fill the position. A petit
tion Is out in the south end Of the coun.
ty asking for the appointment of A. b.
Lamb, who has been conducting the
Fossil drug store the last twelve years.
II. N. Frazer also has a petition out, and
there will be number Of other contest
ants in the field before long. We think
the taxpayers throughout the county,
almost to man, are infavor Of the court
appointing any responsible man who is
willing to do the work OF the Office with
out the extra expense Of deputy hire.
An excellent way to find out il this can
