It Is not llltply that Commissioner HolllnrHkc will receive any more pass- -a and rides In private earn, but lie j svill always enjoy the respect mid us- (ccm'nf every conscientious citizen Iii Uox Butte county. and thlals January too. As for mild wlritef'j and early vcgciiuimi, Box Butto takes thu whole bnkery- Lnet Fndny night a largo number ot Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Johnson's frlnmls got together .nd pavo them an old fashioned surprise. The occa sion was Mrs. Johnson's 41 til birthday. Wo all had a very enjoyable lime. The tariff question wib finally set tled hint Saturday ulght id favor of free trade. The program for next meet lng Is: llesolvcd, that the dt-hrag Is more useful In the house than the broom, and as this belongs In the woman's and bachelor's sphere we "beg to bo excused." As Roll. Euerly drovo up to Mr. Johnson's place one night last week, he tied his team to a huggv, and as the night was cold and Jjlustorini! blustering the horses got chilly and started iiiuuing smashing the two buggies In to splinter.

Ronntor Allison, of Iowa, has al ways been known as n dodger upon fall financial riucslioiis, and now that -lie has allowed himself to tie announc ed an n candldnlo lor tho Republican Presidential nomination, he will dodge more thnn over. Tho friends of the other candidates are determin ed to make him go vn record either for or against that free coinage sub Btltuto for the House bond bill, or to openly convict hint of dodging it. Representative Cowon, of Md., who has been elected President of iriho IV and O. U. R., will not take any ((further active pnrtlnihe legislation 'of the House, but being a member of ,jHouse committee on Ranking nnd Currency, he will not resign until hn line completed Home data lie hau been working on in connection wltn a bill yto place the U. S. Treasurory upon a ipound baslri. Hut wlton the work Is Complete, he will resign in order to lcvoto his whole time to tho railroad qvortfhlch he has been called to pro side.' The democrats of the House lose a valuable tunn when he goes. President Cleveland bus no occa sion to worry because his patriotic foreign policy falls to meet the ap proval of ninn liko Senator Woleott, Jjuf Colo., when their speeches or alleg ed trjtlcism aro followed by such cx ,t)abrdtnary votes of contldenco as the eilqpliou of the Armenian resolution jihy the Senate was. There aro always -tt,fow man who dolight In taking the .wrong side- of every question, but .Congress us a whole is now, as It has lioen from the first, solidly behind the ldjninlfitration, regardless of party frillies, In maintaining a patriotic American policy lu all our dealings with foreign countries. Since Secretary Mortom assumed ha'rgo of the Department of Agrl cultur. ho has saved out of the money appropriated by Congress fort lie sup port of that department il.430,000, vtaud a considerable Bum will bo added to that amount at tho close of the .current Dscal year. Tho Rouse Com Anlttee on Agr culture has decided to Utilized this money by erecting a new inlldlng for the Agricultural Depart Client which has outgrown tho one It fiiow occupies which was ouilt when .the department was only a small .bureau Of tho Interior Department. It Is proposed that work on tho new . building shall begin early In the Ruining flseal year, Boac Butto Bulletin. Mepscrs Ross and Kclster went to Pliie Ridge for seed oats.
