The lust 12 years he has resided at Rnrns, where he is conducting the Harney County News. Trior to thut he resided in Kunnus and as a newspaper man went ttirougu all the exciting adventures in cident to the life of a republican editor in those stirring times prior to the war when the "border rulllans" made life for such men as Mr. Grace very tropical. Of Mr (trace's life in Kansas the fol lowing extract is tuken from an old his torical work published in Topeka; Major I), L. (irace, a Western pioneer (10111 Virginia in the '40s, has seen much of the Iroutier life, having been In Ala bama in the days of the removul of the Cherokee to tlieir Western reservation, the Indian territory, when ho acted as interpreter for the United States soldiers in charge of the reoellious Cherokees. He resided on the border during the lively bouts between the Missouriutis and KuiiHuns, and was serving under the Buchanan a lmini.-tlration as sub agent for Indians returned on the incompetent list at the time of the organization of Kansas territory. The oulk of these Indians were at Wyandotte, and life among them, especially those scatterd along thn Missouri und Kansas line, furnished many an interesting incident. At one time, while in command of a com pany guarding a United States truin Ii Santa Fe, an attack was made upon it near I'awnee Fork, by Kiowas and Couianches, who had killed the head of a govermont ranch at that place. His position ai sub-agent having been con tinued under the Lincoln administration, led lo a duel between him and Deputy Marshall KushoI, who branded him a black republican, for which Captain Grace publicly declared lie would horse whip ltussol. This insult culled out a challenge, which was accepted because of the feather weight of the challenger, and resulted in Uncle Sam's too hasty mar shal going off the field with a wound in the shoulder and his adversary un touched, although he was noted as a dead-shot duellist. Mr. Grace also served a four-year campaign in the civil war, attaining to the rank of major in the regiment organized and originally com manded by General Jo Shelby." Hoi'sk fob Uknt.

Tea in an little understood hy the average merchants as hy the average consumer. He may charge you 75 cents for a tea worth 25 cents and still not make a large profit. He buys his teas like the con sumer, from appearance solely. The fact is, the prettiest look ing teas are artificially colored and have lead, terra-alba and other matter added to increase their weight. It's small wonder so many people prefer coflee and don't care for tea. A pound of pure tea will make from 200 to 2-"0 cups. It is therefore not expensive. As it is the principal heverage of nearly three-quarters of the jH.-ople of the earth it must lie considered wholesome. Our stock is a feature of our busi ness. We carry the largest stock and greatest variety. We can make you all tea drinkers if you'll give us a chance to find what suits your taste, and you will never regret . it. Samples cost you nothing.

OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY Tho factory towns of the East are noted for affording the best market to tho neigh boring farmers and gardeners in proportion to the population of any of the towns in that Bection. The reason for this is that the people of these towns have a fixed in come upon which they can always depend, and, as a consequence, they are liberal buy ers, paying cash for all their purchases. This is proven every day by the number of farmers, who are to be seen on its streets selling their produce, who, until just the last few years, sought the markets of other towns. The system of macadamized roads that is being built into all parts of Clack amas county, will enable all the people of this county to share in the profitable mar ket that Oregon City affords. If, as it is sure to do, the demands of Oregon City in crease in the next five years as it has in the past five years, this city will rank next to Portland as a market place for of the Farmer reiied upon (or Uir ana bonesi re-J Fauiiy Taper is Wiihoui a Peer. vest magazmts. 1 n J. 1 of tim im.r World and gives C.II qui'S'tons or the dav. 1 ha - of reUlMf mutter -a.-li week is l t:er uduptfHl 10 the ni'ei.s ol Mounulna tuan any other paper. in. ...31.10 per year mail r:m per year' Sunday ly mm jo.w per year j ..i nciM KHocb w.cbieaico.; 3 FOR 1 We will send all three to you for one year for $2 or 6 months for $1.
