Repairing1 CJeatly Done Never thought of such - a sign for a medicine did you ? Well, it's a good sign for Scott's Emulsion. The body has to be repaired like other things and Scott's Emulsion is the medicine that does it. These poor bodies wear out from worry, from over-work, from disease. They get thin and weak. Some of the new ones are not well made and all of the old ones are racked from long usage. Scott's Emulsion fixes all kinds. It docs the work both inside and out. It makes soft bones hard, thin blood red, weak lungs strong, hollow places full. Only the best ma terials are used in the patching and the patches don't show through the new glow of health.

' -E-3 The following interesting histori cal letter was recently addressed to Governor Geer from Chauncy Nye, of Prospect, Jackson county: "My dear Governor: I saw in the newspapers last summer a re port of your address at Newport, giving some extracts from the early laws of Oregon, among them some made by the Legislature of 1853. You also said that, as far as known. Gro'ver and Boise were the only memberB living of those com prising that Legislature. ''I was a member of that LegiB lature, frora Jackson County, and I have resided here ever since, and, as I am in a reminiscent mood, will say something about that body. "It was a working body and got right down to business. A former Legislature had authorized and elected a commission of three to make a code of laws for the terri tory. This was done, and the com mission's work was printed and re ferred to both bodies of the Legis lature at the commencement of the session, for amendment, approval or rejection. M. P, Dcady and J. K. Kelley, two of that Commission, had been elected to the council, and naturally wanted their code adopted, with as few amendments as possible, but notwithstanding this, a great many changes were made. "As in nil bodies, we had those members of ceitain peculiarities and eccentricities. There ' was Hadley, of Lane. When he arose and said, in his peculiar manner, 'I do now move that we now ad journ,' it was always agreed to and adjournment was had. There was John F. Millor, who wanted every subject referred to a select commit tee, and he was known tis 'Select Committee.' ''There was Uncle Billy Martin, of Douglas, who used as little of the King's English as possible. He was pleased to find one niorn ing, as he took his seat, that some ono had caricatured him on the wall at the end of his seat, a-lean-ing forward and holding out a bill, and underneath was written: " 'I want to prczont a bil for the pertection of warnio treas.' "He said he knew that some Missourian had done this, as all Missourians used the name 'warnio' instead of 'walnut.' Shuok, of Yamhill, piled up the King's Eng- THE DUPLEX WIRE FENCE BllLDER, Is D.

Politically, the Council was composed of eight Democrats and one whig Scott, of Dmpqna, the founder of Scottsburg, and after whm that place waB named. The house bad 21 democrats and 4 whigs. The latter were Goff, of Lane; Durham, of Clackamas; Dr. Thompson, of Umpqua and Nye of Jackson. The officers of each house were two clerks, a Bergeant-at-arms and a doorkeeper, and yet we got along about as well as the modern Legislative body. - "As in all mining towns of Cali fornia, before county organizations were perfected, an Alcalde was elected in each Southern Oregon town to administer justice in all cases. The same was done in Jack sonville. This officer's authority extended over everything, from a petit offence to a trial for life. The day I arrived in Jacksonville, a murder was committed. The murderer was immediately arrested and the next day a jury was em paneled, a prosecuting attorney and council for the defence were appointed, the defendent was duly convicted, and was sentenced to be executed in 10 days, which sentence was duly carried out. During about one year and a half th:s was the only court held in what now constitutes the counties of Jackson, Josephine, Lake and Klamath. For about one half this time I was the Alcalde, and had quite a num ber of interesting cases before me. "While in the Legislature I in troduced a bill to legalize all the proceedings and acts of these Alcaldes,, but Grover objected, as the organic act of the Territory of Oregon did not give Justice of the Peace such large jurisdiction, and he wished the law to conform to the organic law. My bill was thus amended and so passed, but I did not consider it of much value in that shape. Howeverl the acts of these Alcaldes were never ques tioned as to their legality. These Alcaldes had but about a dozen laws or articles for their guidance, and no technicalities were allowed. A trial consisted of the statements 1 DUPLEX AffOAunt Bttl Bf MM wovi w torn finu r m-i t . 1 1 & Staver Co , Hi Hi mplements Bicycles, Wire, Etc. flEDFORD, OREGON of the parties and the evidence of witnesses, if any, and the case was decided by the court, or the jurya if either party wished one. There was but little dis-atisfaction with the decisions of the court. In fact the whole community was ready i help enforce the decision if it was necessary. (iold Hill items. BY SPECTATOR.
