PASTURAGE WANTED.
"Hon." "W. C. Wills, at the request
of numerous citizens of this county,"
says the Prineville Review, "wrote a
letter to Governor Lord asking him
to intercede in behalf of the people
. . of Eastern Oregon in their fight to
have, the Cascades thrown open for
the pasturing of stock this summer
and asked the governor to -make a
special request of the president.
"The governor immediately re
ferred the request to lion. John
Minto, a man who is familiar with
the situation, and in a replv to 'the
governor he said
I believe Mr. Wills' statement its
to the effect which may. follow ex
clusion of Eastern Oregon stock,
sheep in particular, from feeding on
the Cascade range all of the summer
and fall season they can safely keep
there, is not overdrawn. I heartily
agree to both his propositions ; first,
the reduction of the reserve to rea
sonable proportions, in the interest
of the people, and, second, as the
' cheapest and best means for protect
ing the plant growth on the summit
of the Cascades from destructive
fires that is, as a citizen of Oregon,
I believe the setting apart as a per
manent reserve the Bull Run reserve
to the care and management of the
x city of Portland, under the guaranty
of the state, in order to secure the
purity of its water supply, is a liberal
and good act. second, is to set
apart 320,090 acres, including Mt.
Hood and -as much of the summi
richre of the Cascade range southerly
from the Columbia river as that area
would cover. Third, 30,000 acres.
to include Mount Jefferson and the
summit ridge northward. Fourth,
900,000 acres, to include Crater lake
and cover the summit ridge from the
California lino northward. This, ex
eluding the Bull Run reserve, would
aggregate 1,250,000 acres for the use
of the sentimental summer-resort
people, who, in Oregon, are the prin
cipal advocates of this leservation.
It would also be an act of liberal
provision for a class who would in
crease with its population.
Having seen these reforestations
going on all that time; having spent
money and labor to check it on lands
where the cattle and sheep were con
. stantly Kept, in my own experience
and observation in the valleys and
on the mountains, I am constrained
to believe that the grazing of sheep
and cattle in Eastern Oregon, as far
in the Cascade range as they will
feed, will be a-protectioo, rather than
an injury, to the forest growth there,
and to haras stock-owners and their
employes for feeding . their stock
where to leave what they lake would
be an easy means of destruction to
the timber, is a needless prosecution,
to the injury of citizenship.
The letter of Mr. Wills and Mr.
. Minto's statement have been for-
, warded to Congressman Ellis urging
that the matter be promptly brought
before the authorities at Washington,
with the hope, that action would be
taken looking to the relief of East
ern Oregon. .A petition asking that
. the reserve be reduced in size, signed
by the governor and members elect
, to the legislature, was forwarded
some time ago to congress. It is
hoped that this matter will be settled
at an early day and the stockmen
then can tell what is in store for
thlm. .
EAST OREGONIAN RIGHT.
The East Oregonian, commenting
on the Northwest Dramatic News, a
paper just started .in Portland, and
whose title suggests its objects, tells
some very plain truths in its usually
plain and straight-forward way. It
takes the News to task for giving the
Carnita company a flowery send-off,
and very properly points out that its
influence will be nil unless its state
ments can be relied on. We confess
to having been derilect in our dunes
in this line, and we hope to make a
better record in the future. We re
alize the hard -lines some of these
companies play in, as well as the
hard lines they play, and well we
hate, to kick a man when he's down
At the same time, we purpose here
after being honest to our own people
before being" generous to any more
snide companies. ' .
The worst feature of the matter is
that a show visiting a town comes
indorsed by the papers of such towns
as it has appeared in. Unfortunately,
all editors being biat-hearted, the
press notices are not substantiated
by the facts. Consequently the local
paper can only give, before the show,
the opinion expressed concerning it
by some of its contemporaries. We
intend to .assist in correcting this
evil, and by so doing aid also in get-
ting a better class of entertainments
Our notices of shows that have ap-
peared here can hereafter be relied
upon by our exchanges, and we sin
eerely hope that the balance of 'the
papers in the state will take the same
view of it. so we can rely on their'o.
A Utile concerted effort on the pait
of the Oregon rress will go a long
wars towards tuminz some talent
that now bums from town to town
into the channel it is more fitted for.
that of hard and unskilled labor.
Judge Kean, in the suit of !usan
Marquet vs. William Marquet for
nullification of their . marriage,
-Wednesday held that the marriage of
a party divorced in Washington
within six month? of the divorce, is
void, and that whether the marriage
took place outside of the state or not.
He cited the decision of the supreme
court that the divorce is suspended
and inoperative to the extent of the
marriage prohibition clause, and con
seqnently at the time of the marriage
outside of the state a divorced party
must still be considered as having a
husband or wife in the state. There
is no doubt but that this cecision is
correct, and it will cause considera
ble of a flurry, as there are hundreds
of such cases in the state.
The appointment of CoL John Hay
as minister to England we fear is
based more on sentimental grounds
than on merit. However, the most
bitter enemy of England could rot
ask a better appointment if the re
doubtable Col. could be persuaded
to write the life of Victoria. He
possesses, in a reinarkaole degree,
the power to damn with faint praise
and surfeit with overdoses of the
same taffy. . His fulsome descriptions
of Lincoln detract from the greatness
of that grand and rugged character.
Hay would call Mt Hood "cute"
and the Columbia river "pretty,"
and indulge iu sesquipedalianism in
telling about Baby McKee or Ruth
We are in receipt regularly of a
number of Hawaiian papers", aU of
which are strongly in favor of an
nexing the islands to tne United
States. We confess to a decided
change In opinion on this subject
since reading their presentations of
it, and we believe that if the "Ameri
can people understood the question
fully such-, a sentiment would be
awakened as would force congress, to
accede to it. Thd "Pearl of the Pa
cific" should belong to us, and when
some other power captures it, or at
tempts to, we will insist on having
it. We can get it now peacefully;
then it will probably require a war
to accomplish it
Considerable comment has been
made over an advertisement appear
ing in the Oregonian a few days ago.
While we do not agree with the paper
in most things, we do not for a mo
ment believe that it would print
knowingly that advertisement Some
body was careless, that was all, and
neither editor nor business manager
knew anything of the nature of that
advertisement until after it had been
printed. The editor has enough sins
to answer for without being com
pelled to father that one.
Kalama is having a religious re
vival, caused, it is claimed, bv a mi
racle. .The strange event that has
set the community there to arguing,
debating, afhiming, denying and
doubting was the suddenly-acquired
ability to read of a Mrs. Hoggatt
The lady claims that she was practic
ally unable to read, which statement
is endorsed by her neighbors; but
that devoutly praying to be per
mitted to read her Bible, the gift
came to her, and she was enabled to
read, and that well..
HE UNDERSTANDS THEM.
Commander Booth-Tucker, leader
of the Salvation Array, has been in
Portland for some time, and has been
in demand as a revivalist at several
of the churches. A ' gentleman of
our acquaintance last night was tell
ing us of attending services a night
or two before conducted by him.
He did not understand why he made
any impression at all, and - was as
tonished that any sane person could
desire his assistance in church work
He describes him as an animated
jumping Jack, with the gestures of
French dancing master," without an
original idea, and of an intellect far
below the average.
It takes just that kind of a man to
n n the Salvation Army business
and that accounts for his success
that line. - Henry Ward Beecher.
with all his great mind, could not
appeal to the class Booth-Tucke
reaches half so strongly. The clap
ping of bands, blowing of police
whistles, beating of tambourines, and
all that conglomeration of noises
that seem almost desecration to a re
fined mind that contemplates- relig
ion rationally and soberly, are just
the thing that catch the rabble. Con
versions are made under excitement,
and are more or less lasting, gener
ally being less. The Salvation Army
is not recruited for life or during the
war, but, outside of the officers, the
common soldiers generally get tired
in a short time and quit; but in their
place come many new recruits..
Booth-Tucker is pictruresque,catchy,
and well adapted to the task he has
set himself. In church he would
prove a failure : in the barracks be
has demonstrated-his ability as
leader of that class who seek the
spectacular in religion.
The New York Herald, Times,
Tribune and Evening Telegram, the
big four papers that were behind the
United Press Association, have with
drawn their support after losing
nearly one million dollars, and the
association has collapsed and will go
into the hands of a receiver. The
United Press was created for the pur
pose of making a great news trust
of freezing out the Associated Press
and controlling the entire news field
It was the intention not only to cor
ral all the business, but actually to
control politics and manipulate the
government. News was to beur
nisbed such as suited the association,
and that that run contrary to their
desires was to be suppressed. It was
an, nnnoiy alliance, ana us aesiruc
tion is a matter for general rejoicing,
Little, Greece still pursues the even
tenor of her way, and sticks to her
determination to annex Crete. Her
actions are such that the British ad
miral in Cretan waters informs his
government that "Colonel Vassos,.
commander of the Greek army in
Crete, has practically declared war
against the powers." That is what
be has done, and that is what Greece
is doing. The plucky little nation
sees that tne powers cannot agree,
and understands that in this lies her
protection. Consequently she goes
right along, knowing that none of the
powers dare interfere, for fear of
bringing on a general European war..
Citizens of Omaha insist that they
nightly see an airship flying over the
city. At first most of us were skep
tical, but all Omaha rises up now to
insist that the airship is seen every
night cavorting around through the
upper regipns. .What detracts most
from the statement is the fact that it
is seen over Omaha. ' Anything
would get around that famous burg
if it could, even if it had to go over
it; so it may be an airship, and it
may be only the recent moral wave
that has flooded the country, flying
high over Omaha.
. Major-General Thomas H. Ruger,
commanding the department of the
East will be retired from the active
list of the army next Friday, when
he reaches the age limit, 64 years.
He has made a good record and re
tires fuU of honors, to the enjoyment
of a serene old age.
The prospect for the speedy pass
age of the Dingley bill, and the con
sequent placing of the tariff on wool,
has greatly stimulated the wool mar
ket. . Millions of pounds have been,
and other millions of pounds are
being imported, to avoid the duty,
and the local market,alrtady fee's
the effects. There is but little wool
for salo'by the wool-growers, but al
ready,"there . is a demand for it, and
several sales have been made of wool
still on the sheep's" backs.
The question of calling a special
session of the legislature is still being
agitated. We see no use in calling
it unless some . guaranty could be
made that it would meet Such as
it was, the people had enough of it
to last them a life time. It was like
the boarder's criticism on the beef
steak, when he smilingly told his
landlady . "There is enough of it such
as it is, and it is good enough what
there is of it."
AU indications point to a good
harvest and fair prices. Wheat will
not be less than 50 cents a bushel,
when the crop comes in ; that much
is sure, and it is probable it wiU not
all much -below the present prices.
With the combination of good crops
and prices. Eastern Oregon ought to
have, as Sandy Bowers said, "Money
to throw at the birds."
Pendleton levies a tax en dogs,
and collects it on fifty of them.
Either Pendleton is short on dogs or
her collection department needs re
modeling. A tax 'on dogs here
would at a dollar a bead raise reve
nue enough to light our streets, .fur
nishing water arjd construct a sewer
system and then have dogs enough
left to run the pound. '
Representative railroad men have
perfected a scheme for building a
magnificent car, which is to be pre
sented to the government for the use
of the president It will be the fin
est in . the world; antj the expense ot
building it wil be borne by the lead
ing railroads of the country.
Deaf Smith county, Texas, made
a heavy Republican gain in the last

EASTERN OREGON MINES.
City Papers Mote Ihe
Going an Near There.
Work
The Don Jaun mine, in the Greenhorn
district, is producing regnlar clean-nps
with.the little three-stamp prospecting
mill. The ore going to the little mill
yields over $100 to the ton, all of the ore
lower in gold than that being, stowed
away in the s to pes, waiting for a
larger mill.' , The main tunnel is now
seventy feet in on the ore- chute. The
ledge ib from three to seven feet wide,
with two feet or- $100 gold, ore.' This
mine was discovered about a year ago.
Parties are on their way from the
East to complete the purchase of the
Tom Paine -mine, owned by Hyde, Pack
wood & Madden. The Tom Paine lies
about fifteen miles west of this city, and
has been worked more or less for a num
ber of years. It is famous for the rich
specimens of free gold it has produced at
times. . The ore milled in a recent test
run yielded $30 per ton in gold.- There
are several hundred feet of tunnels on
the ledge, and two ore chutes have been
uncovered that measure from 100 to over
200 feet in length.
William T. Hanna, John P. Hanna
and Colonel James A. Panting have
bonded the Annabnla and Cliff pros
pects, pear the Flagstaff mine. The
claims are new discoveries, developed to
a depth of eighty feet.
The headquarters of the . Flagstaff
company have been moved from the
city to the mine. '
A copper lode that promises well has
been discovered ' in the Sanger district
by Mr. Gilkinson.-
As soon as Superintendent Tulgreen
returns from Chicago he will set miners
at work on a new shaft -on the Colum
bian lode. . The shaft will be 600 feet
deep, and ' will supply the necessary
water for a mill.
The Baieley-Elkhorn mill will start
up April 2d, as tne damage done by. the
recent snowstide has been repaired. The
ore bins are; all full and a quantity of
ore has been stored in the mine during
the shut down. .
Small Business.
Yesterday a woman was arrested by
the United States marsbal here, charged
with Belling liquor without a license,
the particular charge being that she sold
drinks in her house, which were not
ordered from a saloon, but which she
retailed - from a bottle - or demijohn.
This may be all right, but it looks like a
small business for this great government
to be watching after the nickles while
letting the big sugar trusts and the com
bination of bankers in .Wall street pull
Uncle Samuel's leg to the tune of mil
lions at. a time. The recent law passed
by coogress concerning the sale of liquor
to Indians, is going to open np that
business again, to the profit of the offi
cers, and tne disgust oi an decent citizens.

A GASOLIHE STOUH EHPLQDES
17ITE3 FEARFUL RE8UL78.
The Burning Fluid Falls all Over Mrs. Nora E. Hill.
She is Fearfully Burned-Inhales the Flames
and Is Seriously Injured, bur Proper
Meal Treatment Saved Her Life.
From the Chronicle, Chicago, 111.
" Perhaps in no case as yet recorded has the
efficiency of a -popular remedy been found
so clearly as in that of Mrs. Nora E. Hill.
While her condition, caused by a frightful
and distressing accident, places her beyond
the pale of perfect recovery, she has received
such marked relief that the story of the ac
cident and the sufferings resulting from it,
will be of more than ordinary interest to
thousands of. invalids.
. Mrs, Nora E. Hill, before September 1893,
was a hale, hearty and strong woman, past
the middle age of life.
She tells the following story
"September 1893, while attending to
my duties about the house, a gasoline stove
which I had used for some time, suddenly
exploded, throwing the burning fluid over
me. Before my clothes which were on fire
could be torn off, my right arm and hand
were fearfully burned. This however, was
not my most serious injury, as I had inhaled
some of the flames, and I found the inside of
my mouth blistered. My hand and arm to
the elbow were burned to the bone, and my
physician believed amputation necessary,
but after weeks of great suffering, I was
spared the operation, and I have fairly good
use of my hand and arm now.
"Shortly after the process of healing of
arm and hand, my stomach commenced to
give me trouble. ' I did notHhen realize what
it meant. After each meal I was seized
with a cramping sensation, and then in a
few days there were frightful pains, which
threw me into clammy perspiration. For
eight months I was under the care of my
physician, battling hard with death. I had
lost 93 pounds, was becoming a mere skele
ton, my appetite was gone, and my nervous
system completely shattered.
"I lost confidence in everything, was
totally discouraged, and determined to go to
my former home, Grand Bapids, Michigan,
and have my old physician make an exami
nation of my condition. He did so and
found that gastric ulcers of the stomach had
formed, which he said were incurable, and
were liable to produce cancer at any time.
While in Grand Bapids the ulcers which
had formed in the stomach broke, which
produced vomiting of large quantities of
blood and pus. This confined me to a sick
bed for several weeks. When I became
sufficiently strong to get up I came back
here to die, as the doctor told me I might
last one week, possibly one month. - But I
determined to make as strong a fight as I
could, and get all the medical aid there was
in Chicago.
" I was taken- before a class of one of the
most "noted and celebrated medical colleges
here for examination. This examination
proved what my physician in Grand Rapids
told me viz, that there were gastric ulcers oi
the stomach. The opinion of the college
physicians was that my chances of a cure
were not one in one thousand. This was in
.May 1894: in June I was taken down with
gastric lever, caused dv fresh ulcers forming.
and I lay in bed nine weeks. From June to
September in tha year I also suffered ad
ditionally from thirty abscesses forming on
my arms and shoulders, produced by the con
dition of the stomach and blood circulation.
After this I got a little better, and this im
provement lasted during the fall and winter
till January 1895, when I had another siege
of gastric fever. - I took a great many drugs
and opiates under the physicians directions

during all this time, which had the effect of
completely upsetting my stomach and nerv
ous system.
" From January to July 1895y I suffered
frightful agonies, resulting from the trouble
in my stomach, and was again thrown into
gastric fever, which kept me in bed three
weeks.
"A year ago last October I commenced to
take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pals
People. After I. had taken two boxes they
broke the gastrio fever and enabled me to
get up. .1 found also that they gave ma
strength, and my appetite came back. I
found that I could digest the food I ate, and
the pains disappeared. I also noticed thai
I became less nervous; in fact my general
condition improved very much.
"The following March (in 1896) I wai
again troubled with the abscesses, but to
much less decree than formerly. This wai
due to the efficiency of the Pills, which un
doubtedly had brought my blood to a much
better condition. I want to explain here thai
the doctors said thai the cause of the appear
ance of abscesses was due to the ulcerated
condition of the stomach, which vitiated th
blood through my entire system.
" The pills have allayed my nervousness,
they are putting my blood into better condi
tion, they have cleared my brain, and havt
given me an appetite which I can gratify by
eating light food without causing the terrible
pain which formerly i
in
he pills are doing for me more than an
medical aid I have ever received, and the
have stopped my suffering to a very great
extent. I do not think nor do I expect
that they will cure me, because all physician!
are agreed who have examined me that it is
impossible. Past experience however has
shown me that they will to a great? extent
make my life bearable. This I believe il
doing wonders, and I feel that if they have
done this much for me, there must be many
people who are suffering whom they can
surely cure.
" I was born and raised in Michigan, and
came to Chicago some ten years ago. 1
know quite a number of people on -the west
side, and have told them of the marvelous
relief I have gained by taking Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People; and if anyone
should like to hear more of the details oi
my suffering and more of the details oi
the relief gained by the Pink Pills, I shall b
glad to have them call at my home, 46 Wal
nut Street, Chicago.
