Circuit Court.

On Wednesday, the grand jury re.
turned three not true bills. The cases
were the state vs.. W. Winton, charged
with larceny; the state vs.. Harry Hans
bury, charged with larceny from a
dwelling, and the state vs. OIL. Fields,
charged with bigamy.
The most important civil case that
will be tried this term occupied the
attention of the court Thursday, being
the case of Henry Gardner vs.. Wasco
county, in which he seeks to recover
damages from the county for injuries
he sustained by being thro@n from a
wagon while travelling on county
road. The following jurors were se-
lected to try the case: Peter Mohr, G.

there was no order of the county court

olvinga considerable sum, AMI is of

WHO'LL THROW THE S1ONEs

The most interesting case that will
come before the next congress upon
the seating of member, will be that
of B. 81. Roberts, of Utah. There is
nobody contesting Mr.. Roberts elec-
tion on the grounds of fraud or that
he did not receive majority of the
votes cast in the state. but the great
American people have risen up in their
wrath and said because he is polyg-
amist, that he has openly violated the
laws of the land by indulging in .plu-
raj marriage, he must not be seated as
a member of the represen ntative body
in the national congress. OF course
the burden of proof will rest upon his
accusers to show that he is polygam-
ist; but will not some of our states
men, who practice on the quiet. what
accused of practicing openly,
hesitate before they begin throwing
stones at him.
If Roberts is guilty of what he is ac-
cused, if he openly defies the law and
retains his three wives, he is an unfit
person to represent Utah or any other
state in congress. for no MAJ is quail.
fed to be lawmaker who violates the
law himself. But who among the
many old "saints" in authority are
going to prosecute him before the
house? Will it not be delicate mat
ter for some of those old congressman
who "have mistress in every block"
to come to the front and undertake to
lay bare the skeletons that are hid in
Roberts closets? Will they dare do
it?
Roberts is shrewd; he is a politician;
be has wealth. Will those whose
lives are somewhat shady dare court

BRI1UNS AND THE BOERS.

American sympathies are naturally
with the Beers of South Africa in
their struggle against the domination
of the British. still even their really
true friends cannot hope that they will
be successful in forcing the surrender
of General White at Ladysmith.
There is but one advantage that they
could gain by taking Whites army,
and thai is the possibility of interven-
tion on the part of European powers,
whereby more favorable terms of peace
could be secured, but this is so remote
that it is hardly to be entertained.
European powers are not courting a
general war, and Intervention would
mean nothing short of a contest with
Great Britain, for she will not be
thwarted in her desire to possess the
Transvaal republic. She will fight
the whole of Europe before she will
be dictated to. And, if lett alone,
there Can be but one ultimate result
the subjugat:on of the South African
republic and the Orange Free State.
Success of the Beers before Ladysmith
would only prolong the contest, and
make the British vengeance that much
more severe.
Should General White he forced to
capitulate, and it would only be after
one of the bloodiest battles known in
the century, it can only prolong the
war. The loss on both sides
would be heavy, and many splendid
lives would be sacrificed. Then unless
there is intervention England will be
more determined to avenge the lives
she has lost. General Butler will be
given an army with which he can an
nihilate the Boer race. He is cruel
fighter, and knows not mercy. 1t will
be his purpose to annihilate the Boer
race, to drive them off the face of the
earth, and backed by a government
whose resources are unlimited, will
carry his desires into execution.
There can be but one outcome of the
war, the total subjection of the Dutch
farmers, and the giving of their coun-
try to the British crown The fate of
the Beers, were war to end now, would
be bad enough, but what will it be
should English arms be subjected to
further disaster and the war continued
for months to come, or until entire
South Africa isoverrun with redcoats?
1t will be something terrible. There
will not be enough of the Beers left
to make respectable burghers' town
and what are left will be serfs
thrown upon the mercy of the British
soldiery.
The Beers are whipped people from
the start. and the longer the war is
continued che worse it will be for |
them. However they are good and
brave soldiers, who are willing to sac
crifice their lives and fortunes for |
what they believe is right, but odds
are against them; they will be COM
oelled by force to bend the knee TO
British greed.

such road would be at point inn
mediately opposite the Miller bridge,
where the altitude was found to be
100 feet above sea level, or about 500
feet above the mouth of the Deschutes.
IL is thought of building the road
over this route and extendi ng it up the
Deschutes river to the mouth of Trout
caeek, and up Trout creek about 10
mile to the junction of Trout and Hay
creeks, where the whole country opens
out in every direction.
A subscription is now being circu
lated to raise the necessary funds TO
make survey over this route and test
it's practicability. In the opinion of
persons who have been up and down
the Deschutes river, both from the
mouth to Shearer's bridge and above
the latter point, the conditions for
road building are favorable. 1t is
said that there are only one or two
places where there would be any diff.
fculty. These Instructions are not of
serious nature and are easily over
come. 1t seems there would be very
little heavy grading or rock-work. The
valley of the Deschutes furnishing al
most d natural grade.
Such road would draw heavily from
the Columbia Southern territory, in
Sherman county, and absolutely con-
troll the Grant, Harney and Crook
county business. The proposed ter
minus at the intersection of Trout and
Hay creeks would be only about 1900
feet above the sea level, whereas
Shaniko, the proposed terminus of the
Columbia Southern must be about
$500 feet. That road, with its heavy
grades and high elevations, could
never compete with road running
on a water grade into the very heart
of the country.
This road, if built to the proposed
terminus, would undoubtedly be
ultimately extended through to
California, and would develop all the
vast territory of klamath, Lake and
Harney counties and Northeastern
California, now without railroad.
What it would do for The Dalles it is
easy to forsee. This city would at
once step forward into its natural
place among the first cities in the
Northwest.
