"I have received ma ny letters from prominent repupu- cans from all over the state,, 'some of whom supported me; durinehe Ub camsaienr and ; some who did bot,' expressing satisfaction .with my administration and ; promising me' their support against any, other man. - : This support is. promised .on the erOund fthst it : isn't a question jof politics, but the faithful adminis tration of the affairs of state, in the Interest of I taxpayers." ' "What is. the record on ; which you are going to ask for re-election?" was asked and Oregon e. democrat ic governor eat up and took notice, State taxes wul be. lighter this year than they have been for. years, as the people wilt know when they come to pAy.:their. taxes. Another thing I think it is proper for me to eav that when I was inaugurated ihtre wa9 a $5U,000 school tund unloaned. Now. there is about $60,- 000, making an increase in inter est earning for the benefit 01 the children of the state of about $40, 000 a year. "I have kept a close watch on appropriations and have made an pft'.irt ti bean all lflul-ilftt.ion that vitally interests the p ople of the state in conditions so mat mey could recall the referendum upon it. if thev so desired. I have not hesitated to veto bills when there was a question as to the necessity of the Appropriation. Then the governor talked about the legislature. "Many of my recommendations in m(s-aees to the legislature have been adopted, with' the result , that a good share of the burdens of taxa tiooon . Teal estate and personal property have been removed and have constantly made the effort to divorce: the methods of raising rev enue for etate purposes from the methods adopted for raising reven nue for county purposes. "It isn't beyond the range of probability," continued the gover nor, "that in the near future reven ues for state purposes will be rais ed by inheritance taxation, taxa tion of franchisee, corporations and other sources sufficient to adminis ter the affairs of state independent of taxes raised by direct taxation for support of the several counties Add the governor, talked about land affairs, a subject that comes close home here in Oregon. - "I have endeavored to slraighten out the tangle in which the public lands of the state had become in volved." he said, "and efforts along this line have been measurably suc cessful. Further than that, base lands for indemnity selection, which were Belling for $2.50: an acre, are how' eelling for $6, and contrary to the practice heretofore followed, no certificates for indemnity selection or deeds therefore are issued until selections' have been finally approv ed by the general land; department atWaebington. 'This course absolutely overrides complications which have ' brought such discredit on the state' in times past.

UNSEEN DANGER IS ON OUR TRACK From the time o our birth- till we lie uown ior xne last time. Tlie, best defense from the clangers of disease is vigor, of body and activity of the natural func tions.

This will give nature a fair chance to put in motion normal work of repair and tissue building. Such a tonic was grown in Nature's Laboratory, hidden in the ground and brought thence forty years ago by Dr. R. V. Pierce, who has made the treat ment of lingering diseases his life-long study and .care. He uses glyceric extracts instead of .alcoholic ones, exactly proportioned and combined by processes of his own inven tion, hrst used in his private practice and now given out freely to the world in his "Golden Medical Discovery," which -is composed of Ciolden Seal root, Queen's root. Stone root, Black Cherry bark, Blood root and Mandrake root. Mrs. A. T. Jones, of 926 Hayes Street. San Francisco, Cal.. writes: "As & child I was delicate, and great care was taken of me because some of hi.v relatives had died of consumption, although my father and mother were healthy. I grew up with only the or dinary diseases of all children, but about two years-ago 1 contracted a severe cold, which would not yield to such home-treat ment as was handy. Doctors were tried, but alter tnree monttis ot tnls treatment l wag only worse.

A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington eays: Thirty-eight thousand men of the regular army are to be mobilized at Manila for service in China, in case of an uprising against foreigners in the ancient empire. The war de partment has determined to send four regiments of cavalry and sev en battalions of artillery to the Far Eastern islands to reinforce the troops already there. Tne navy is aleo active, and has directed , Rear-Admiral Sigsbee's squadron, consisting of one armored and three protected cruisers, to hold itself in readiness to proceed to the Far East and report to Rear-Admiral Traincomuiander-in-chief of the Asiatic fleet. The navy depart ment also has sent instructions to Rear-Admiral Train . to take such measures as may seem to him ad visable for the adequate protection of Americans and their interests. Gunboats of the Helena class which have undergoing repairs at Manila will be commissioned with out further delay andsent to China for use on. the iYangste-Kiang.

New York, Feb. 10. The Jour nal says: Members of the Gould family are confident a reconcilia tion between Count Boni and his wife will be effected within the next few days. A friend both personaMy and professionally acquainted witn tbe Goulds said: "Inconceivably as it may seem the countess is passionately devot ed to ber husband, and I know ha too has a strong feeling for her, a feeling such as was not brought about by even the greatest moneta ry attraction. Tbe countess is pas sionately j-nloiiH and tbe count by good tact baa avoided many previ ous separations. A special from London to the World says: The story is told here that Countess Castellane bad es tablished in tbe Castellane mansion an unobtrusive well-bred American ostensibly as a tutor for her sons, but really to closely watch the count. This tutor brought on the coud by gaining entrance to the magnificent bachelor establishment maintained by Count Boni and some of his friends. Here he found letters from several French women of the highest position. One of the most extraordinary features of the cooperative bachelor establishment was that some of the women were particularly wealthy and would defray the immense ex penses. A letter from one such wo man was found, it is eaid, covering a check for $80,000. Pans, Feb. 9.
