A Klamath County correspondent to the Oregonian says: "The stormy weather is driving pleasure seekers from Crater lake earlier this season than usual. The famous huckleberry patch Is also being abandoned before the crop is fairly gathered.

Henderson, who was elected treasurer of Wallowa County last June, did not qualify for the office at the July term of the county court, having Jailed to secure bonds. At the recent September session of the court he pre sented his bond; which was refused. A writ of mandamus was applied for to Judge Eakln, who has granted an al ternative mandamus compelling the court to show why the bond Is . not ac ceptable. ". ; j C. N.

Under this ' system 126,000 acres of land known as "desert" will be reclaimed. The com pany putting in this Irrigation system does not desire to obtain control of the land benefitted, and, na the land Is mostly In the hands of the government yet, there Is ample room for both rich and poor to acquire title to It 'under. . homestead or desert land acts. Lake view Examiner. . ' A peculiar suit has been brought In the Multnomah County circuit court. A Mrs. Wood sues E. P. Mossuian, a dentiBt, for $1000 damages, claiming gross carelessness on the part of the dentist in pulling a sound tooth in place of a decayed tooth. Mrs. Wood states in the complaint that she employed him to extract a molar decayed at the crown and in attempting to do so the dentist broke the crown off the root. While engaged in this work it is claimed ho pulled a sound tooth, which he bhould have replaced. Another dentist re placed the tooth but it failed to grow, and damages are asked. , There seems to be no money 'In the cay use-can Ding business and conse quently the abattoir at Linuton will shut down within a short time. .' The exportation ot canned horse-meat to European countries has been discour aged by restrictive legislation, and by the acts ot foreign countries in . every way. This being tho oaro, the peace' (ul career ot the herds of horses on tho hillsides of eastern Oregon will no longer be interrupted. A swindle Is reported from. various parts ot the country of which farmers will do well to beware. The agents offer a churn whiuh thoy olalm will largely increase the yield ot butter from any given quantity ot milk and they offer to prove this assertion Chemicals, it appears, are slipped Into the milk and oream when the pur chaser's back is turned and the butter comos more quickly and in greavor vol ume than It usually , does on premises Invaded.' Of course the resultant mass is not pure batter, but the agent col' leots his money and departs before the fraud Is discovered.

Mr. Reynolds, who has been buying cattle all over eastern Oregon, and who has already shloped 1000 head, repcrts . plenty .ot cattle for sale, but they are held at such high prices that there. Is but little margin In handling them. He attri butes this to the fact that grass on the range I good, and the farmers all have abundance of hay. ... , ' A WONDERFUL CCKE OF DIARRHOEA.

I suffered with diarrhoea for a long time and thought I was past being cured. I had spent much time and monav and suffered so much misery that I had almost decided to give up alt hopes of recovery and await the result, but notioing the advertisement of Chamberlain's Collo. Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy and also some testi monials stating how soma wonderful cure had been wrought by this remedy, I decided to trv it. After taking a few doses I was entirely well of that trouble, and I wish to say further to my readers and fellow-sufferers that I am a hale and hearty man today and feel as well as I ever did in my life.

The Russians have re ceived word of reverses in Manchuria, where SOO miles ot railway hare beon destroyed and a number of stations have been burned. These has been much lighting and many Russians have been killed. Three regiments have left Pe king on their long overland march to Manchuria. A gradual redaction of the Russian forces in Peking has begun A squadron of the Sixth cavalry will leave her tomorrow to relieve a native Chriaiaa village, which was attacked by Boxers, 8 miles soothsast of Peking.

The expedition nndor General Dorward against the Boxers threatening the Tien-ttdn region reached Tuliu, on the Grand Canal, without op- poslon, and the city was oooupled with' out a shot baiug fired. Three columns conveyed there yesterday, after a two days' march, and found that the plane had already surrendered to one otHfnr and eight Bengal ' lancers. General Dorwark ordered the town burned after U had been thoroughly looted. , The villages en route made peace of ferings and in most oases ware undis turbed. Apparently the Boxers have disbanded ta that region, and the whole oonntry is safe. ' Tiss-tsis, September 14. via Shang hai, September 10 A British signal effloer reports a sharp engagement be tween a company of the Fonrteeth Un ited States infantry and 000 Boxers at Hotao (Ma tow) on the road to Peking. The Americans made a gallant stand, and a detatchment of Bengal lonoers near by, bearing the firing, came to their rescue and charged the Boxers in the rear. The Chinese were routed, leaving 900 dead. The Americans had no casualties- The Germans report an engagement with a heavy faros of Boxers west of Peking yesterday (Thursday). The German loss is said to havs been 30. New York, September 16. A gun cable from Shanghai, dated September 16, says: There are indications that the incoenc of progreasiv Chinese hold' ing high office Is having a greater effect on the empress dowager than ever .be fore. Another ediet, the second issued by the empress since. bar. flight from Peking before the advaaoe of the allied forces, was issued at Homa on Septem ber 9. In it her majesty denounces the Boxers and blames them for all the present troubles. She orders that if they offer any opposition to the impe rial troops they are to be destroyed, root and branch. In foot, the edict practically orders their extermination. This edict is in line with demands made by Li Hung Chang and Sheng, director of posts and telegraphs. Tour correspondent can state on the best authority that the killing of Baron von Eetteler, the German minister, was prearranged by the Chinese in revenge for the seizure of Elaocban bay by Ger many. My Informant says that the murder was planned early in the upris ing. The imperial olan, whioh sided with the Boxers and plotted with Prince Toon, was in favor of killing the Ger man representative, bnt had no hand in the actual commission of the crime London, September 14. No further light is this morning upon 14 Hnng Chang's intended movements. The Times has an interesting dispatch from Peking dated September 4 which says in part: ' "Russia has decided to withdraw hei legation from Peking, leaving a purely military . command. ... An offloiol an nouncement of this is expected today. ' The other powers will also presum ably withdraw their legations, leaving Peking under the military control of the allies during the winter at least. At a meeting of the generals the Russian commander announced that Russia would maintain 15,000 troops during winter.
