The Marion Falcon has the following

The Marion Falcon has the following
concerning the proposed railroad;
Our people who have watched the pro-
gress made by the promoters of our
new railroad have reasons to believe now
that their hopes will not be in vain.
Mr.. Azbill and his corps of engineers
were here the first of the week and are
now surveying the route over Null
draugh's Hill with the hope that it will
not be necessary to tunnel. The survey
of the entire route has been completed
and rights of way nearly all secured.
The grades as required by the prospec-
tus were easily secured, and the aver
age grade much less than was anticipat-
ed. Now comes the time for the 'long
pull, the strong pull and the pull all to-
gether," by the people along this route
which pull should not cease until we can
hear the rattle and the din of the cars
on the new rails.

The people of Columbia District,
with one accord, regret exceedingly
that Rev. S. G. Shel'ey's time, as Pre-.
siding Elder, is about to close. He has
presided over the district four wears
and has done great work. He is IAN
able, consecrated minister and has
been devoted to his church and people.
There are but few better preachers in
the Conference, and we are sure there
is not one who is more Jealous in the
cause of Christianity. During the four
years he and his estimable wife have
resided in Columbia and their depart
ure will not only be regretted by the
Methodist people, but by the whole
community. Elder Shelley stability de
mands good location and we feel sure
that the Bishop will so decide. Con-
ference meets at Leitchfeld this week.

immigration Statistics Disclose Curl
Ous Facts.
From the annual report of the
commissioner general of immigra-
ton. which has just been Issued, 1t is
learned that 81 per cent of the in
mates in the insane and charitable
institutions of Oregon are aliens.
vada with 81 per cent, are the, only
states in the Union that make more
discreditable showing than Oregon
Arkansas and Oklahoma, with only
per cent placed opposite their
names are the lowest on the list.
Tennessee and Alabama have only .S
per cent. each, while Virginia ana
West virginia are burdened with but
per cent apiece.
In the face of these astounding tig-
ures. Immigration Inspector Barbour
thinks it is about time for the I'M
uigration laws of the country to oe
enforced. says the oregon Daily Jour
nal If laxity should be shown ne
beIieves that it would not be greal
while until Oregon stood at the heau
of the list in the unfortunate an"
pauper population. :.
"Rut the law will be enforced
declared Mr.. Barbour. 1T is lookeu
upon as a good law, and it is the de-
sire of every taxpayer that 1t shouiu
he carried out to the letter. For en-
forcing the exclusion act l nave pee''
freely criticised, but the large mum
her of aliens in the insane asylum
ord charitable institutions in tnls

ing citizen that too much care ca"
NOT be exercised in prevehuhs '"e

Readers of the East Oregonian will
remember the New Years editorial
written by Joaquin Miller, for the
Canyon City newspaper on January
1, 1859, which was published in this
paper a few weeks ago. tr
In order to get a reminiscent
sketch concerning the editorial and
the surroundings at the time it was
written, the editor of the East Ore
gonian addressed a personal letter to
Joaquin Miller, at his home on The
Heights, Oakland. Cal. The following
letter has been received i'm reply
written with quill pen, in the char
acteristic hand writing of the Poet
of the Sierras."
The Heights, Jan. 20, '05.
My Dear Huffman:-An honest old
store keeper got me to write an edi-
torial for the first number of his
little paper, as a sort of advertise
ment. .
All l now remember is my horror
at finding it full of mistakes 1t
seems they couldn't read it, and
have found many folks like them,
since then. But please send me a
copy, as 1 have lost all trace of the
thing.
No, l did not write in red shirt,
with six-shooter on my desk. 1 was
probate judge in a district larger
than all New England. and as l was
the youngest lawyer in the town 1
had to have dignity-that is, be stiff
as poker, without a curve.
In fact. Canyon City never was a
typical town of the border. We had
such men at the bar as w. Lair Hill,
Joseph Woods and Senator George H.
Williams who deported themselves
much as the professions do at the
present time.
Sorry l cannot furnish you wild
and woody" story, but we were So
Der and genteel lot. The name of the
real founder of the little paper often
credited to myself is Captain Fear
ing. who was keeping store in Ante
lope. Or, the last l heard of him
Love to you and yours,
