PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY.
OREGON CITY, SEPT. 16, 1898.
A contemporary says the bankers en,
route to Denver to attend the bankers1
convention "are all gold standard men.','
.This ia the most important piece of in
formation since old Bill Jones announced
that his white cow was white. Ex.
Sthangb to say, right here in this
countiy of the gold standard and pro
tection to home industries an ounce of
silver is worth more than a bushel of
wheat. It begins to look like some of the
arguments heard in 1896 about the parity
of silver and wheat was more truthful
than poetical.
Somebody has said that the war with
Spain was a republican war;. - Who
helped to win Santiago? Joe Wheeler,
a democrat. Who has planted flag in
the Orient with victory? Dewey, another
democrat. Who annihiliated Cervera?
Pchley. the sood old Jeffersonian. ' Who
sank the Merrimac? Hobson. The next
best man was Roosevelt, and is said he
is sorry that he is not a democrat. They
have won the glory, stained our flag a
deeper crimson, while Hanna, Elkins
and Fairbanks have won the golden
eagle. Ontario Newi.
The Woodburn Independent gives a
very pertinent illustration as to wh"
pays the war tax, and something besides
to the corporation that cinches its patrons
It says:
"The war revenue tax on a telephone
message is two cents. Not wiehmg to
lose this enormous sura, the telephone
company has raised the price of one
minute use of the line from here to Port
land from 25 to 60 cents, thereby making
an additional profit of 23 cents. Our
business men are highly and justly
incensed at this monopoly rate ana talk
of not only boycotting the line, but com
bining with merchants of other towns
and having a line of their own. The
telephone company is not tn the position
to make excessive charges and thrive."
Deace commission evidently means the
retention of all the Phillipine islands
for commercial purposes. With the ac
quisition of the Fhillipinea, there would
be a place for young men to go west.
GRAVEROBBERS SENTENCED.
Magone and riontgomery Each Get
Two Years.
The Magone grave robbery case has
been dragging along in the Multnomah
county courts for months, 'and the case
is of special interest to people here, in
asmuch as the parties concerned, are
Clackamas county people.
Daniel Magone was sentenced to two
years in the penitentiary Monday
uy juuge ueorge, wnicn is tne tun pen
elty provided by statute for graverob-
Dery. ms counsel tooK until October
ist in which to prepare a bill of excep
tions wr an appeal, to the supreme
court.
Mairone. when asked if he had anv
thing to say why the sentence of the
court shoftld not be pronounced, mum'
oieu a tew unintelligible sentences.
jus attorney. J. J. More and. called
attention to the fact that Magone had
been in the countv iail 16 months, and
said he hoped the court would take that
tact into consideration in passing sen
tence ; out tne court aid not do so.
Judge beorge stated that he was of
the opinion that Magone required treat
merit for mental disease, and would
be willing at any time to write to the
prison authorities that Magone was
broken down mentally and ought to be
treated.
Charles Montgomery, who refused to.
tcntuy at me trial juet ciosea, as a wit'
iiens jor me state, was ordered com
mitted to the penitentiary to serve the
sentence of two years imposed upon
mm jujge -otepnons
Montgomery, on account of hii pr.
vices in behalf of the prosecution, was
not to nave ueen made to serve this sen'
tence, and is now being punished be
cause of his declination to give bis evi
dence. He has served 16 months in
tne county tail, being detained there to
insure his appearance when wanted.
He will probably not be allowed this
time, but will have to serve the full
time from date, as punishment for con
tempt of court.
When the two vears from the date of
passing of his sentence has expired,
Montgomery can. it lie desires to de
mand credit for the 16 months he spent
in the countv iail. petition for a writ of
habeas corpus, and have the courts pass
upon tut question.
' It may be a surprise to many to know
that the war was. an absolute injury in
stead of a benefit in a financial way to
the newspapers. Strange as this may
seem, It Is true. Every newspaper of
the first class has run far behind since
the out bread of the war. On very good
authority it ia stated that it cost the
New York Journal an extra expense of
$3000 daily, and the World almost if not
quite as much. The Journal issued as
high as forty extras in a single day, and
its correspondents at the front weie the
best money could buy. The Journal
had in commission ten sea going crafts
The charter of these boats alone amount'
to over $1500 per day. This tremendous
expense was not offset by corresponding
gains and had the war lasted two years,
writes Arthur Brisbane, it would have
busted every great newspaper in America

The hop picking season is a short one
this year, and the pickers are already
returning from the yards by twos, lives,
tens, twenties and thirties. Many of
the owners of hop fields suffered a great
loss last year by reason of the early
rains. As a result the picking is being
completed at the earliest possible date,
to guard against loss. The pickers ex
pectation of a long siege of lucrative em
ployment was cut short, but the weather
lias been everything that could be de
sired, and those that went to Uhe hop
fields enjoyed a brief, but pleasant and
profitable outing. The hops are of ex
cellent quality, free from mold and lice,
and have been cured free from the de
vastating effects of early rains.

The next Important Improvement on
roads within the city limits, will prob
ably be the proposed new road con
necting South Main street with Center
on the uluff. ' This projected road would
of great advantage to farmers living
South of Oregon City, enabling them to
reach market in a more direct way for
their wheat and wood. There cannot
be too many convenient driveways aud
walks up the blurt.

According to the rulings of the war
department, it begins to look as it the
Oregon Volunteers at Oavite were des
tined to stay there (or awhile. The dis
patches state that orders have been
ttiado that no more Volunteers be mus
tered out of service. It is hinted that a
large proportion ol them will be needed
at the l'hilllpines, consequently it is
possible that the Oregon City contin
gent may do garrisou duty for some time
to come.

Two or three weeks ago the Oourier

Hood's Sarsaparilla Cures.
" I lost my appetite and about all I lived
on was iced lemonade. My strength was
all gone. I was so weak I could hardly
cross the floor. At last I was taken very
sick. One physician told me my blood
was all gone and he gave me medicine but
it did not help me. I had pretty much
lost all faith in medicines, but thought I
would get one bottle of Hood's Sarsapa
rilla and try it. After taking that bottle
i was mucn Better, and so I got two more
bottles and after taking them I was well,
but to be sure of it, I kept on taking
uooa-s aarsaparllU until I had used in
11 five bottles. It has done unspeakable
good to me and I wish all my suffering
sisters would try it." Mas. A. Evebsen,
