ATHENA. ORE.. SEPT. 4 1908 Eaforoed ia a half hearted sort of way, tbe game laws of the Stale of Oregon are not looked upon seriously by men witbout'tbe necessary princi ple to do right because it is right and uot because they are compelled to do so. 'lbe out-of -season shooting is said to bo considerable, whioh is no duonbt true. Another thing counties are compelled, under the law, to collect tbe fee for hunters' licenses, bear all tbe expense of such collection, and re mit the money to tbe state. One nat urally wonders where the counties "get off at" in such a obbo. The issue of hunters' licenses just now iu Union County is about 100 short compared with this time last year, says tbe Uuiou Eeputlioau, and the iuferenoe is uatural that there are some who are hunting without licenses. Evideutly the flsh and game authorities are plac ing tbt sportsmen largely upon their honor in tbe matter of observing the law, and while this is all right in some oases, it wilJ not work in otbors. Urass bands will play a prominent part in tbe campaign of tbe Hoosier branoh of the Hearst Independence party, if the plans of tbe party leaders are carried out. Charles G. Conn, cf Elkhart, tbe millionaire manufacturer of musical instruments, is being urged to accept the nomination for governor, and according to delegates who are here today iu advance of the state con vention, be will probably accept. Mr. Couu is known all over tbe world as a maker of wind instruments and bis fame in this direotiou should insure hiin tbe brass baud vote. Ho has made mnnv millions in his business. Until recently be was a democrat and served several times in congress. At one time ..'be "was tbe owner of tbe Wasbiugton Times, now tbo property of FranK Muusey, which he oonduoted for the alleged purpose of giving his oougres sional aots proper publicity. He is a clever advertiser, and if nominated tor governor by tbe independents', will likely make a speotaoular race. "Advertising Oregon" is the title of a page in "Printers' Ink" of July 8th, Ouo of the most widely known adver tising journals. And it is no woudor that the state's work aloug these lines has attracted this attention, for no portion of America is circulating the attruotive literature that burdons the mails of Oregon everyday iu tbe year. Now that tbe colonist rates are iu ef feut every citizen of the state should feel it his duty to advertiso tbe fact iu bis personal oorrospoudeuoe, to aid in eveiy possible way tbe commercial organizations which 'are wot king to iuorease the state's population. Oue thousand Central Illinois farm ers are packing up their household goods aud preparing to move to Ore gon Lefure next spring. They have made arrangements to come out by spooial trains to Sou thorn Oregon aud will settle ou the military road grant iu Lake aud Harney counties. This is probably the largest emigration from ouo point to a western state since the days of the old Orogou trail, aud will bring a particularly desirable class of farmers aud residents iuto Southern Orogou. Claruuoe S. Harrow, tbe Chicago at torney who attained international fame as chief counsel iu tbe Haywood, Meyer aud Puttibone defeuse, will take an active part iu the socialist campaign. He will deliver several addresses, amoug theui a Labor day speech in Hraud Central Palace, New York. Kiitopimn scientists assert t b tit wouion are growiug stronger.

J Hill has been of great ben- tyJortUnd and too regiou east- wud,i not ouly direotly, iu building tbe north bauk road, but iudirectly, by spurring Mr. Harrimao into action. Not only bos Mr. XJarrimau promised to build a toad through central Oregou and discovered at least tbe Nehalem Tillamook ooantry, but he is now prac tically rebuilding the O. R. & N. from Port laud up the Colombia, aa far as Unintilln the poiut to whioh it rnus oioaoaud parallel to the oew toil J. It is said that in this reconstruction work alone he will spend some f 20, 000,000. The north bank road is said to be tbe beet constructed road in the country. Though iu places it was very diffloult to build, no expense was spared to make it the best road poss ible. Trains can run over it safely at a high rate of speed. With snob a road, as to speed, if not ad to weight of loads hauled, tbe O. R. & N., with its ligbter rails and worn and somewhat negleoted traok, could not successfully complete. But Mr. Harrimao, as without this competition be might not bave done for years to come, will make bis road along tbe Columtia equal to Dill's, or as nearly so as possible, so that trains can run twice as fast and baul greater loads. Tbus tbe gorge of tbe Columbia, for some 200 miles east ward from Portland, will bave two of tbe very best roads in tbe United States, competing side by side. This work will not only give employment for a good while to many men, and put a great deal of money in circulation hereabouts, bat will be of much posi tive and permaneut advantage to Port land and tbe upper country. Here we get an idea of tbe vast value of competition, of worthy rivalry, as against monopoly. As long as Mr. Hatiinian bad a monopoly of tbe busi ness, hn did not care very muob bow it was done or whether his road was in first-class shape or not Trains might mope along at toy old speed, and as long as the traok would carry the sauntering trains it would do; but no sooner does Mr. Hill build a new road alongside, than Mr. Harriman sees tbe necessity of building one just as good. Tbus will tbe people be far tetter served tban they have been, not only by tbe new Hill road but by the re constructed old road as well. Railroad competition, to some extent, is an ab solute necessity to tbe people's wel fare; railroad monopoly tbronghout any large and important region is op pressive, and it should be and must be made unlawful in fact as well as in terms of statutes. Portland Journal. EYES AND THEIR MEANING. Wide open eyes are asid to be indi cative of rashness. Side-glanoing eyes are always to be distrusted. Tbe downcast eye has in all ages been typical of modesty. Ibe proper distance between tbe eyes is tbe width of oue eye. People of melanoholy temperament rarely bave clear blue eyes. Eyes with long sharp corners indi cate great discernment and penetration. Tbe wbite of tbe eye showing te neatb the iris is indicative of nobility of obaraoter. When the upper lid covers half or more of tbe pupil tbe iudioation is of cool deliberation. Gray eyes turning green iu anger or excitement are indicative of a choleric temperament. An eye the upper lid of which passes horizontally across the pupil iudioates mental ability. Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from sidetoside. are frequently indicative of an unsettled mind. Eyes that are wide apart are said by physiognomists to indioate great intel ligence and a tenacious memory. Eyes placed close together in tbe bead are said to indicate pettiness of disposition, jealousy and a turn for faultfinding. Wide open, staring eyes in weak countenances indicate jealousy, bigotry intolerance and pertiuaoity without any firmness. When tbe under arcb of tbe upper eyelid is a perfect semicircle it is in dicative of goodness, but also of timid ity, sometimes approaobiog cowardice. Dundee Advertiser. They Take the Kinks Out.

I suf fered for nine months with suppressed menstruation which completely proa trated me. Pains would shoot through my baok and sides and I would have blinding headaches. My limbs would swell up and I would feel so weak I could not stand up. I naturally felt discouraged for 1 seemed to be beyond the help of physicians, but Wine of Cardui earns as a God-send to me.
