OH. WHAT GALL!

While in Baker City last week Mr.. J +
Goodman had an interview with Repre-
sentative Ellis. in the course of which the

up. Mr.. Ellis expressed himself rs fav-

complish that rather chimerical feat,

certainly play no small part in the
performance. We knew the govern
ment had sunk many good dollars in
u futile and foolhardy attempt to
make Snake river navigable below
Huntington; we know that not dol
lars benefit from the expenditure Of
public funds did or ever will accrue to
any one but those who handled the
money and received pay for shooting

found in the SIGNAL. We don't
know what particular matter in the
SIGNAL the Herald considers s'popu-
listic blackguardsm," but inasmuch
as the Herald has joined the gold bug
gang, we suppose it must refer to
some editorial reference to the finan-
cial question. 1t perhaps doesn't
matter under what head principle

the position taken is right; and as

nothing but what is right, and up to

that all of this opposition comes from

the SIGNAL, from its position of

PIONEER WOMEN.

In the deaths of Mrs Hancock and
Mrs Anderson, mentioned in the

state loses two more of its pioneer

and the generations to come, in Wash
ington county and similar sections in
the west, owe to the pioneer women
Often, around the firesde, is dis

A PATRIOTIC GANG.

During the last few days there has
gone over the O. s H. an excursion
Of representative merchants of Port
land, Oregon. They went as far as
Boise, with the avowed purpose of
getting acquainted with the traders of
the country and establishing, through
that acquaintance, trade relations,
which we learn have been all but
severed in the last few years.
Now, there are but two reasons
why they should have the trade Of
ldaho-one is dollars and cents and
the other is sentiment; and we will
say right here that sentiment runs
through nearly all trade relations.
The farmer trades at the one country
store rather than at its competitor,
where he can do equally well, because
of a certain liking for that particular
proprietor--a fellow feeling through,
perhaps, religion with some, racial
extraction, political friendship, etc ;
and if Portland, Oregon, reaches out
for our trade it must expect to get it
because she can make it to our add
vantage to trade with her, or because
Of some sentiment between those
from Multnomah county and the
ldahoans. If an antipathy exists,
some way will be found to avoid trade
relations, just as it is found between
individuals.
They have a paper in Portland
called the Oregonian. When did it
miss IN opportunity of having fling
ut the people Of our state2 What,
for paper, is 1t? Compare its edi-
torials with those of the Salt Lake
Tribune. Take, for instance, the sill
yer question. See how Scott meas
ures swords with Goodwin. Not that
Scott is not an able writer, but that
he puts forth such rot must be be-
cause that is what is demanded. And
then, who of this inter mountain
country wants to 90 to Portland for
recreation? Not even past residents
of Webfoo,! They prefer Sals Lake
The people Of Portland are different
from the inter mountain country.
This reminds us of what occurred 10

of them had had business relations
