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. Wild geese
and other water fowl from the north
are coming in, aod the Indians and 'old
settlers' predict a severe winter. :
C. A. 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. Seott, of Portland, tells the
Oregonian that the work of constrnot
. log the two main canals of the Des
chutes Consolidated Irrigating Com
pany will begin at once. 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

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. Yamhill Reporter.
, The cattle market shows a slight lm
provement over that of last year, . says
the Tlmes-Mountalneer, the prices be
ing about $3 per head above last year's
Prank Fulton, who has Just returned
from buying cattle In Crook County,
says he found growers quite indpond
ent, and unwilling to sell unless they
could get their price. . 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

From the Times, Hlllstllle, Ve.
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. O. R. Moore.

Dorwark ordered the town burned after

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

ing. The imperial olan, whioh sided
with the Boxers and plotted with Prince

"Russia has decided to withdraw hei

' The other powers will also presum
ably withdraw their legations, leaving

The majority of persons upon reschiug uitddlo age and

Those predisposed to Scrofula, Cancer, Rheumatism, Gout and other hereditary troubles may escape
till then, but as they age the blood, so long tainted and weakened by accumulated waste matters, is no
longer able to properly nourish the body, and It becomes an easy mark for disease. At this critical jwriod
of life the blood must be re-cuforccd before it can perforin lis legitimate functions and rid the system of
