An Important Decision.

About eighteen months ago the United
States commenced suits in the U. S.
circuit court against the Eastern Oregon
Land Co. and a large number of it's
grantees to set aside patents Heretofore
issued, upon the ground that as the
land was within the limits of the grant
to the n. P. R. R. Co., it was not in
cluded within the grant to the Dalles
Military Road Company. Messrs. Hunt
ington & Wilson appeared for many of
the defendants who had purchased the
land of the company and demurred to
the complaint. for the reason, among
others, that the grant to the Dalles
Military Road Co. took effect first, and
therefore the patents were properly is
sued. They today received notice that
their demurers have been sustained by
Judge Beilinger.
This decision is in line with other de-
cisions rendered by the circuit of ap-
peals, and, if sustained by the supreme
court of the United States. will settle
the controversy over these lands in favor
of the Eastern Oregon Land Co. and its
grantees.

the recommendations OF a united dele
cation as to appointees will be received
and acted upon.
'sThis cannot occur until December
next. The reappointed officers there
fore have further lease or about four
months of the salaries of their respective
Offices"
1t was generally supposed that in case
of an ad interim appointment in the
district attorneys Office that Paul Deadly
would be selected. 1t seems, however,
that the administration does not pro-
pose to make any changes that wonld
lead to hard feeling, and as a conse-
quence has taken the easiest way out of
the difficulty by naming the old officers.

The Nitrogen Medicine Company,
with full troupe of first-class vaude-

city last night. and will play at the
Baldwin opera house one week, COM
mencing this evening. This company
has been greeted with crowded houses in
San Francisco and Portland. The city
papers speak OF it as being very fine

Arrangements have been made for the
remodling of the Commercial Club
building and it is expected work will be
begun in a few days. Extensive alter
ations will be made and when COM
pleted the club will have quarters as
fine as any in the state.
The scafolding for the steeple of the
new Catholic church gives an idea of the
height which the top will be from the
ground The steeple can be seen from
every portion of the city, and is a grace

well this year in the matter of new
churches, as the Lutheran society have
their new building well under way, and
when finished it will be credit to the
town.

shortly on the new railroad bridge across

whom the Observer believes has solved
the problem Glow to be prosperous: :"
''Last week one day the Observer man

a couple of hours at the farm of Robert

has corn that goes twenty bushel per
acre; 5000 sacks of wheat; artichokes.
millit, rape, alfalfa, Sandwich freze,
sperry, sugar beets, turnips, squashes,
onions, melons, etc., in profusion. Mrs.
Newton is proud of her Jersey COW,
which produces lots of rich butter.
A vigorous effort 1s being made on the
part of the directors of the district fair
association to ho'd successful meeting
here next month. This is as it should
be. The Dalles has let Fourth of July
celebration and the fremen's tourna-
ment (not through any effort of it's own
however) clip through, and now is the
chance to even up by holding rousine
. fair meeting. This is the year of al
others to hold it in. We have had e
big crop and good price; the farmer!

A Political Surprise.

The political world was startled by
the announcement made yesterday that
Justice Field had signed commissions
for Henry G. Grady as United States
marshal and Daniel r. Murphy as U.
S. attorney to serve until their success
surprise generally, and especially to the
members of the Oregon delegation and
their appointees, who had counted on
no such interruption to their work of
parcehng out the officers. The follow
ing taken from last nights Telegram
gives good idea of the situation:
United States Attorney Dan r. Muir
ply, who on September 1st stepped
down and out, with the prefix of eek" to
his official title, is once again in Office
and may be found at the old stand.
This mornings Eastern mail was late,
it not being delivered until p. IN. That
was of little moment to the majority of
Portland people, but to some of the
politicians CT this city, had they known
the bombshell-in a mild sense-it con-
tanned, it would have meant much.
There was in one of the mail pouches
the reappointment ad interim of-Attor-
ney Murphy, signed and sealed by Su-
preme Justice Stephen J. Field.
In another pouch was a missive, like
wise from Justice Field, containing the
reappointment ad interim of United
States Marshal Grady.

for the possibilities that have arisen on
the political horizon with these reap
pointnents, are such as to cause gray
hairs to start in the heads of some OF
the "recommended'' of the lately ad.
| journed caucus of Senator Mcbride and
Representative Tongue and Ellis.
/ The situation now existing, as sue
cinctly described by a well-known poll
tician, on hearing of the reappoint
| ments, is this:
Mcbride, Tongue and Ellis,' said the
politician, sin their deliberations anc
recommendations, overlooked the fac
that Henry w. Corbett might desire tt
have something to say in the matter
The appointments of the delegation wer,
sent on to Washington Sunday last afte
a week Of effort on the part of the dele
cation to agree. In the meantime Mr.
Corbett had waited on President McKin
ley and informed the administration tha
he had some friends of his own-in Ore
gon whom it might be judicious and il
the interests of the Republican party t.
reward with Office and that it wouIC
probably be well to postpone the max
ing of new appointments until sucl
time as the statue of Mr.. Corbett a
senator or private citizen was fixed.
"The factional fight in the Republican
party of Oregon, which prevented tn
regular naming of United States sena
tor, being still fresh in the president
mind, Mr.. Mckinley has taken the sug
gestion of Mr.. Corbett as being we
placed, and he has therefore made know
to Justice Field that to avoid any en-
tanglenent in Oregon it might be we
to reappoint ad interim the old feders
