ATHENA, APRIL 10, 1870.

Under the sub-head on the editorial
page Of the East Oregonian, there is
now being printed the words: San In
dependent Newspaper" The following
excerpt from the county seat paper
smacks of consistency, to say the least:
"The East Oregonian has been taken
to task by the politicians for declaring
a private opinion on corporation attor-
neys in public office. That opinion was
expressed mildly and in no malicious
spirit. In explanation it has become
necessary to speak more explicitly and
perhaps more harshly. This paper OBJ
iects to railroad attorney holding an
elective office, for reasons that are pat
ent to every voter who is thinker. The
railroads employ attorneys to defend
their interests. They pay them salaries
commensurate with their ability and
standing and exact the utmost effort
from them on all occasions where rail-
road interests are jeopardized. In the
situation now before the people of Una
tilla county is thrilling example worth
mentioning. Suppose the 0. r. & N.
attorney for Umatilla county should be
called upon to bring suit against the O..
r. & N. company for its taxes, which
are still unpaid This is not a proba-
bility at all, but is cited as possible
situation. Which OF the masters of this
attorney would he serve in such caseH
Would either the people or the railroad
wish for such a complication of affairs?
As the states are now made up for the
nominations for district attorney for
this district it has been cleverly ar
ranged by the leaders of both parties to
elect railroad attorney and friend OF
of the gamblers, no matter which way
the election goes. The East Oregonian
objects to this arrangement and be.
lieves it has the sympathy and co-opera-
ton of the people in its objection, This
is plain heart to heart talk, in the best
of spirit and in fearless freedom. Hav-
ing forfeited, through political heresy,
all possibility of wearing a crown in
Heaven, the East Oregonian fatty re.
fuses to wear muzzle on earth.
All OF which is very we'll said, but it
occurs to the PREss that SO far as the
East 0regonian's declaration of indie
pendence IN relation to the prospective
democratic nominee for district attorney,
that paper went long distance out OF
the way in making its announcement.
Col. j. II. Raley has served the people
of Umatilla county and the state Of
Oregon with measure of credit Of
which he may well feel proud, and the
honor of his public service reflects in no
small degree on the party of which he
is one of the leaders. The intimation
that he would accept the nomination OF
district attorney without first resigning
his position of corporation attorney, will
be instantly rebuked by those who have
tried Raley and found him not wanting.
Ii he sees his way clear to accept the
nomination, Pendleton's independent
paper will find peace to its mind in con-
of the fact that no strings
will be attached to MIR. Raley when he
enters on the duties Of district attorney.

her streets.

Some agitation is heard in favor of
rocking the streets now in preparation
for grading but twenty feet wide in the
center, leaving a strip on each side
without the rock covering. AS matter
of convenience and from the practical
standpoint of thoroughness and econ
omy, street paved in this manner
would be next to failure. In the first
instance the uncovered portion would
leave continual abiding place for mud
and dust, to be gradually worked back
on the rocked center, the edges of
which in short time would disappear
in the soil. In the second instance, the
nature of the soil is such that a grade
will not stand without rock covering,
and those portions not covered would
have to be entirely rebuilt at repetition
Of first cost.

The old saying on the Rio Grande
is that, should man once drink of
its waters, he will return to its
banks, no matter whittier he NAV
wander. A late incident exem-
plifying tine truth of this saying is
the return of c. J. Macmanus,
former Brownsville boy, who is
now on a visit here from Corpus
Christi, where he has made his
home since leaving this place.
Many are the hearty handshakes
and memories revived of the days
of long ago INDUCED in by Mr..
Macmanus and his old friends.
Take twenty-five years from the
life of any of the young old men"
of the Rio Grande region, and that
many years turned back will re-
move the crows feet and the frosty
locks, while reviving memories OF
younger days, as it has been with
Mr.. Macmanus during his visit
here. As stated in yesterdays
HERALD, Mr.. Macmanus is now
with the immigration department
of the San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass railway company, being
stationed at Corpus Christi. He
contemplates opening an Office in
Brownsville, and is here for the
purpose of familiarizing himself
with the new conditions of things.
Talking with a HERALD reporter
yesterday, he said:
IT is with pride that 1 refer to
Brownsville as the home of my
youthful days and to many of its
older citizens as my friends. Here
is where the hey-day fmy life was
spent. :"
Turning from a retrospective to
a prospective mood, Mr.. Mac
manus went on to speak of the real
possibilities and what could be ex-
pected here with irrigation.
"All things are possible in this
valley with irrigation he declar-
ed. There are very few of the
deciduous fruits that will not grow
here, and every known vegetable
as well. 1t is more the home OF
the grape and the paper shell pecan
than California or other localities
that boastfully lay claim to the
title. There will be time, and
the day is not far off, when this
valley will take its rightful place as
the leader of all agricultural sec
tions on earth. T"
