Senator mcbride Talks.

The action of Justice Field in reap
pointing Grady and Murphy was no
surprise to Senator Mcbride. When
interviewed by the Oregonian he said
the appointments were perfectly in
order: and the usual custom had been
followed in such cases. These reap.
pointments had no political signifi-
cance, and were undoubtedly made be.
fore the recommendation of the
Oregon delegation had reached Wash
ington. Mr.. Mcbride did not doubt
but what their recommendations sent
forward would be acted upon by the
president with as little delay on his
part as possible. Mr.. Mcbride did not
credit the report that the appoint
ments would not be made before max:
December, after the convening of
congress aud the seating of II. w.
Corbett. That, he said, was an indi-
vidual opinion that had no foundation
in fact.

Made a Thorough Inspection.

Fredrick V. Coville, a special agent
of the interior department appointed
to inspect the different forest reserves
in Oregon and Washington, has just
completed quite extended trip
through the Cascade mountains, and is
prepared to make report upon the
condition of the forests and the effect
pasturing stock within the reserve has
upon the growth of timber. He started
into the mountains at the California
line and has travelled through the
reserves to the Columbia river.
What DIR. Coville's report will be of
course will not be made public at
present, but in conversation with him,
we were lead to believe that he does
not consider the pasturage of stock in
the Cascades detrimental to the timber
growth, and it is not probable that he
will recommend any arbitrary
measurers being adopted to exclude
stock from the reserves.

The Dalies Military Wagon Road Com
Pany Gets Its Land.

| In the United States court az Port
land Wednesday Judge Bellinger
rendered decision sustainining the
demurrers interposed by the defend
ants in the case of the United States
against the Dalles Military Wagon
| Road Company, the Eastern Oregon
Land Company, and some 80 in
dividuals. The case was argued about
year ago by F. P. Mays, Huntington
d Wilson and j. N. Dolph, but, as
similar case, known as the Northern
Pacific overlap case, concerning lands
in Mnltnomah county, was pending in
the court of appeals, Judge Bellinger
awaited the decision in that case. and
has now followed tue ruling of that
court. The land involved comprises
considerably over 1000 acres. adjoin-
ing the Columbia river on the south
and lying mostly in Sherman county.
This tract was formerly claimed by
both the Northern Pacific Railway
Company and the Oalles Military
Wa yon Road Company, through con.
gresstonal grants to them respectively.
Tle grant to the Military Wagon |
Road Company was maze last, but the |
company and the other defendants, its |
successors in interest. claimed that the |
grant to the Northern Pacific Com
pany, down the Columbia river never
took OBJECT.
The contention of the United States
was that the first grant did become
effective, and that, by an act of
congress passed in 1890, the land was
to the public domain, and,
lnder this claim allowed much of the

Oalles land Office.
Judge Bellinger's decision is to the
effect that the lands in question never
became an earned part of the Northern
'acific grant, and therefore were
within the road company's grant: in
hort, that the apparent Overlap"

Big Quartz Discovery In the Blue Noun

Some years ago Indications of gold
quartz were discovered on Willow

Subsequent development of what ap-
peared to be one of the best claims
failed to show up any gold worth men

died out.

TIE MATTER OF FERRlAGE
A Liberal Offer Made by Mr.. Curtiss of the
Diamond Mills


Diamond Mills
ED. TIMES -MoUNTAINEER:
The Dalles. Or, Sept. I, 1897.
Will you please correct a mistake In
your issue OF the 5th, where you state
that wheat teams are charged Sl.25 for
crossing the Rockland ferry and IS
cents to return empty. The fact is, 81
is all that is charged for round trip
of four-horse team, and 10 cents for
round trip of two-horse team, which
gives the advantage for cheapness to
the Rickland ferry. This is all that
has been charged for several years
when it cost the teams anything to
cross.
The writer has been in the habit of
giving grain teams free pass, with
money from his own pocket, which has
not been appreciated by the town
owners. You will find by investiga-
tion that the price of ferriage is not
all the cause of business going to other
points, bad roads and jealousey figure
much in the matter. The former
might be overcome by little enter
prise and the latter by little brother
ly love, which are ingredients rather
difficult to obtain in these parts.
While this matter is being aired,
would like to make an offer through
your valuable paper, which is this: l
am the owner of four-tenths of The
Dalles & Rockland ferry. which has
cost me about $1,000, and if Dalles City
or any other responsible company will
bind themselves to maintain a good
steam ferry for five years at this point
free for all that wish to cross, will
give them all of my stock as a bonus.

WIDE SPREAD FAMINE.
The Crops of Ireland Are Ruined and
Much Suffering Is Expected.

|
The New York Worlds special cor
respondent at LonGon has been investi-
eating the crop conditions of Ireland,
and finds anything but a favorable
condition existing. Rains have pre-
vented harvesting of the crop which
was unusually short, and indications
are that there will be great suffering
among the Irish people during the
| coming winter.
From Mullinger, one of the most
prosperous parts of the midlands,
correspondent telegraphs:
"The crops are now irretrievably de-
stroyed. 1t will be impossible for the
farmers to make anything OF their
cereals this year, as they are quickly
rotting. In the churches prayer for
fine weather was recited. and if q
change does not come Immediately,
the crop might as well be left to
manure the ground"
From county Wexford, noted as one
of the richest in the country, the It'd
ings are:
The green crop may be described
as gigantic failure in county Wex-
ford this year. the greater part of
the potato crop is only lit for cattle |
feeding"
From Fermanagh, correspondent
telegrap
SAT meeting held here to ask for
reduction in rents. the parish priest
declared that not since Black
1877 has the prospect for farmers in
this district been so bad. In several
places the potatoes have been failure.
Hundreds of tons of hay have been
'uined by the heavy rains and floods"
From Carlow, known as ''the model
comes the following dispatch:
"There is before our farmers an out
ook as disastrous as it is possible to
owing to the frightful
weather.. a great deal of corn cut
arly remains in the stacks injured
,eyond repair. In many districts the
armers have been unable to cut their
rops, which present the saddening ,
pectacle of being leveled to the
arth by the persistent rains. Appre- :.
ensions concerning potatoes also
ave been dismally realized"
