PUT THE BOAT BACK.

The action of the Union Pacific man-ageme- nt

in 'withdrawing the steamer. : Baker from the middle Columbia route

make, the stores have not yet got intheir winter supplies, and the farmers

pend on the boat for their connectionwith the outside world the companyshould, put the boat in service at onceand keep her there until they get intheir winter supplies, or the weathercompels her to abandon the route.

His deathwas an undisguised blessing to thecountry and no doubt satisfactory to thegrim old fraud who can now performthe ghost dance an nature!. Uncle Samis however troubled with a tender conscience, and thinks the old scourge wasmurdered, that he didn't have a, fairshake, and that the policeman who killedhim may, probably should be made anexample of.

Another use for a navy is to protect usagainst the encroachments of foreignersgenerally, and the gun-boa- ts and bat-teries of John Bull especially. The latter old gentleman with his good-natur-

rotundity has been magnified intofirst-cla- ss bng-a-bo- o by the muchly buttoned young gentleman recently fromWest Point or' Anapolis, but he is reallymore of a Santa Claus than a Satan. We,i ... .neea no navy tor turn, mere are toomany other available defenses. For instance, we might put Jay Gould at thehead of all of our railroads and by preventing the movement of crops, reducethe old gentleman's abdominal surplus.We con Id, or rather our representativein-- the white house could for us, issue ane exeat, and Johnny Bull would ex-ea- t.

At the first symptom of quarrelsomenessor selfwill we would send him to bedwithout his little supper.

The navy department seems to beanxious to make further improvementsin the way of ship-buildin- g, an anxietythat congress seems willing to cater to,and put up for. The result so far, hasbeen at least partially satisfactory. Wehave, or rather will have a pretty fairnavy, soon ; one of which in our goodnatured way we can feel proud of asAmerican citizens, that is, provided wefeel at all, and some ingenious dynamiterdoes not invent a combination of gunand volcano that will make our nickel-plated steel cruisers, as bubbles of glass,political? promises, or any other merelyornamental specimen of fragility. It ispremised that we need a navy, partly toprotect New York City and principallyto' protect those --other amphibians, thefur seals of Behring's sea, and the govern-ment contractors who are exterminatingthem.

A MEDLEY.

The holidays are upon us and thedawning of another day will usher inChristmas, the merriest, happiest day

in all the year simply because it is thechildren's day. Oh ! but wont there beearly scrambling out of bed, and scampering feet flying to sample the bulgingstockings, and tangled hair and brightvm from which for once, sleep fled

laughingly away. And the presentsWhat surprise, what joy, what intensityof pleasure that only childhood mayknow or feel, as the good and beautifulthings dreamed of by night, wished forby day, are brought to light, filling thewildest desires of hone. God bless thelittle ones and shield them from disappointment when they wake tomorrowMay their little stockings be filled to thetop. and may their little hearts be tilledwith pleasure and happiness, until thewarm blood pulses through their arteriesrythmical with joy too great for utterance.

- If Senator Mitehell would like to makethe people of this section of OregonChristmas gift that would be thoroughlyappreciated we can suggest one thingthat would give entire satisfaction, andthat !h a telecram announcing the factthat the secretary of the interior,commissioner of the general land office.attorney-gener- al and all the balance ofthe coroner's jury that are at presentholding an inquest on the remains of theforfeiture matter, had reached a verdictand got off the corpse. We are tiredwaiting and are almost hopeless of thepresent generation seeing these landsthrown open to settlement. We knewboy who was so indefinitely slow that hecouldn't suck an egg; it would spoilwhile he was making a hole in the shellHe was from Ohio, and as we have notheard of him for years, we imagine hehas been absorbed in the interior department and runs the lightning calculatorbranch of it. This department has beenso slow that the silent changes of natureand the attitions on the epidermis of

the earth have changed the naturelands, while the lineal descendants of theoriginal locators have passed in then-check- s,

and passed down the evidencesof their location as heirlooms. Harneylake has vanished, swamp has changedto meadow, meadow to arable land, thebeaches are now a good qualitytertiary sandstone, and incipient AltHoods are sprouting in the lang syneswamps.

There is no use kicking ; there is nothing to kick ! The material presence ofthe secretary is tangible, the secretaryhimself is another essence. The secretary dies, yet the secretary lives ; he iskingly in this respect. He exists forever! The man who wears the titleand manages the brakes, is mortal ; butthe secretary is immortal.' He is. thesilent center piece in the ghost dance ;

the nnmaterialized incorporeal heridita-ment dropped down from the dark agesas delicately intangible as the point ofRabelais puns, or a first class case ofpuppy love. He is above the reach of

the rich, and the poor couldn't touchhim with a cistern pole. He is ananamoly, an incongruous negative,chose in inaction. Nevertheless we hopethat his mighty essence may .evolveset of rules governing the filing on theforfeited railroad lands, and allow "wethe people" to locate thereon, ere iteverlastingly too late.

DEATH VALLEY EXPLORATION.

Secretary of Agriculture Rusk hasbeen for some time engaged in organiz-ing an expedition to explore the famous

.Death V alley" in uoiorado. . misregion is a veritable terra incognitia.The heat there is so intense that deadanimals do not decompose. Water inthe valley is unknown, and the expedi-tion will carry water and food for themules and men. It is a Questionwhether the animals will be able to sur-vive the expedition. Two of the chiefbotanists of the department are atpresent working their way into the valley from isouthern .Nevada, whileanother evpedition is on the marchrom Southern California, and thetwo ' expeditions are expected, tomeet, if nothing ' goes wrong withthem, at a point previously decided uponin the valley. Professor Merriam willleave in a few days to take charge of theexpedition. There is reason to believethat there are rich gold and silver minesin the region named. A story is told byan adventurous miner, who some yearsago penetrated into the valley and foundthe skeleton of a miner, a wooden paillying near it, and in it a chunk of goldoi great value. Un his return to Ualifornia he showed his find to a group ofminers, and their curiosity was so excited that, other means failing, theytortured him to make him confess wherehe had found the gold, believing that hehad discovered a gold mine, the locationof which he would not reveal. Scientific men with the expedition will makea'map of the country and secure specimens ol such animals and insects asexist there, if any do. Secretary Ruskregards the expedition as of great importance. fret IHspatches.

An error in the above article locatesDeath , valley in Colorado. It shouldread California. It used to be consideredcertain death to enter the valley which

by the way is several hundred feetlower than the sea level, but this wasborn of superstition and has long sinceproven to be false. It is true the valleyis devoid of surface water, in this respectresembling hundreds of other valleys ofNevada, Utah and Arizona, but water iseasily found at no great depth, and acanteen or two full of water will last onethe journey across it. It is hot therebnt not equal to Yuma, and no hotterthan Marysville or Red Bluff, Cali-

fornia, although the story of an adven-turous genius who went from WhitePine in 1S70 to explore the valley, fittedout with an apparatus of his own inven-tion for keeping himself cool, wouldindicate that he struck a hot wave.This explorer working on the theorythat 'evaporation produces cold, had con-

structed a sort of a suit of armor, so ar-

ranged as to convert carbonic acid intogas. It was provided with a spray pumpconnected with a tank which was to becarried in a wagon, and which wouldsprinkle the horses as well as the man.

from Belmont, Nevada. Weeks passedand no tidings of the adventurer wereheard. A relief party finally went afterhim. . They had entered the valley buta few miles when a glittering objectattracted their attention and reaching itthey found the adventurous explorerlying on his back amid the. ruins of hisburned wagon, stone dead, and frozenstiff. The heat of the burning wagonhad caused such rapid evaporation thathe froze to death in the midst of theflames, and the machine still workingan icicle nearly seven feet long hadformed on the end of his nose, and byits glittering reflection had made tnediscovery of the body possible. Wcommend the idea to Uncle Jerry Rusk.

ANOTHER APPROPRIATION.

If we could entertain the hope thatthe work at the locks could be taken outof the hands of the War Departmentand let by contract we would not favoranother appropriation until this hadbeen provided for. It is useless to hopefor this, and therefore we must askfurther appropriations even thoughlarger portion of them is squanderedIf the work is to be pushed to an earlycompletion another appropriation mustbe made by this Congress, in order to beavailable next fall. The farmers areawake to the importance of this questionand they are solidified now, so thattheir - opinions can be made to bearweight at the polls. They demand anopen river, and their representatives incongress will do well to heed their demands. As sure as an appropriation isnot made during this session of congress.

that sure will Mr. Hermann's retirement happen. Politics are badly mixedanyway, and the Farmers Alliance willthe next election hold the balance ofpower at least. That party means business, and will not be put off with political promises, or platform planks,There is a large sized political volcanoin Eastern Oregon, and it is likely tobecome active before some of our politicians get out of its way.

THE HUNT ROAD.

Hunt iust now is in considerabletrouble financially but will probably pullthrough all right as he is a manofinfinite resources. In the meanwhile theproposed road down the Columbia is notas many think abandoned. A party isstill at work on the definite ' locationsurvey, and while the matter has ceasedto-b- talked about, it is not dead by anymeans. It is almost certain that workon the line down the north bank of theColumbia will be commenced in the earlyspring and prosecuted vigorously untilthe road is completed. It may not beHunt, it may be Hill, it is bound to beome one. It is the only available route

left open between the Inland Empireand the sea, and it will be, is now located.

The ever increasing crops to be handleddemand more transportation facilitiesand the demand will be in part suppliedby this road. The Northern Pacificowing to its heavy grades is pushed nowto its utmost capacity and no relief canbe expected from it, nor can the UnionPacific with a single track increase itscarrying capacity to any great extent.The north bank of the Colnmbia willhave a railroad down it, and we believeit will be completed in time to assist inmoving the grain crop of 1891.

A Word to the Invalid who is Well Taken Care of.

The household magazines are alwaystelling us how to care for our invalidsand when one has read of all the littleattentions and tendernesses in the wayof constant care and smiles and cheerywords ; in the giving of light and air andsunshine, of flowers, of fruits, of delicacies, and the thousand and one littlethings that they picture as being abso-

lutely necessary if invalids are to liveand breathe and all, one can not but callto mind the many, many thousands ofpeople who lie from year's end to year'send on beds of suffering, with only thebare necessites of life ; to whom sufferingis bread, despair is drink, and patienceis dessert ; to whom a kind word or cheerysmile is like a God-give- n holiday tolonely child, and to. whom a flower isglimpse of heaven. Oh, God, pity andcheer all invalids who must lie withinfour walls, and who may never be out inthe fields and the woods ! But let thosewho suffer on beds of down, with manyfriends, remember those who lie withburning heads and uncheered hearts indark rooms that know neither sunshinenor smiles. "

President Harrison has vetoed the billfor a public building at Bar HarborMaine, very properly too, on the groundthat the business of the place did notrequire it. This is true, as Bar Harboris not of much force, and is not entitledto such improvements while cities fiveor ten times as large are ignored entirely,The only thing iiat justifies commenton the matter is the fact that it is supposed to have added zest to the duty ofsigning the veto, and vigor to the pres-idents pen from the reason that BarHarbor is one of Secretary Blaine's petspeculations, A he dispatches conveythe intermatioh daily that the feelingbetween Blaine and the president is verysimilar to that existing between Cleveland and Hill, and for the same reason,that both have their eyes on the nomination for 1892. Here are two cases ofdistinguished consideration for eachother; Cold Platonic friendship thatborders on the Plutonic. . ''. -

JLvdcje of Gold Bearing; Quarts DU--covered on tne Carson River.

Caeso.v, Nev., .Dec. 21. About twoyears ago quite an excitement on Carsonriver was caused by the discovery of goldand black sand. Messrs. Willard andMcDonald have been hunting the placefrom which the sand came, and havetraced it to a ledge of gold quartz, averag-ing twenty feet thick. It can be tracedtwo miles, and at least two miles arealready located. Out of twenty-fou- r

samples, twenty showed gold. The ledgeis near Horseshoe Bend, about sixteenmiles from Genoa, and the river cuts itin two places. It is regarded as one ofthe most important mineral discoveriesmade in this section for years. TheGenoa Courier of to-d- ay corroborates thenews of the strike. It gives a columnaccount and says that over three miles ofthe ledge is now located.
