BAKER CITY. Or., Jan. 2L-Baker
County has a candidate for the Repub
lican nomination for Governor In Hon. O,
A. Johns. It is a well-known fact that
Eastern Oregon Is going to make a very
strenuous effort to name the head of the
ticket at the -next state convention, and
that W. J. Furnish, of Pendleton, Is an
avowed candidate for the place. But this
does not dismay Baker County. Mr.
Johns says he is not seeking the office,
but his friends declare he Is to be a can
didate, and they propose to boom him in
the strictest sense of the word. Baker
City also has another candidate for state
office, Hon. Edward Everett Young, who
aspires to be State Printer. Politics are
beginning to warm up here, and it is
hard to say what Baker County and East
ern Oregon will ask at the hands of the
next state convention, but Mr. Johns
friends say they propose to give every
assistance to the move to get the Gov
prnorship for Eastern Oregon and the
nomination for Mr. Johns. They assert
that they have been promised loyal sup
port from several of the "Western Oregon
counties, else they would not persist in
bringing Mr. Johns out, when Eastern
Oregon already has a candidate in tho
field, f
Charles A. Johns was born in Jackson
County Missouri, June 25, 1857. "When he
was yet an Infant his parents emigrated
to Oregon, settling in the Willamette Val
ley, where Mr. Johns received his prelim
inary education. Later he entered the
Willamette University at Salem, gradu
ating 1879. After serving as Deputy Sher
iff of Marlon County for two years, he
studied law and was admitted to the bar
in 18S0. In 1S8S he moved to Baker City,
and by his progresslveness soon won prom
inence. In 1831 he was elected Mayor of
Baker City, and again in 1S92.
When the State Text-Book Commission
was organized by the last Legislature
Mr. Johns was appointed one of Its mem
bers by Governor Geer. He has ever
taken an active interest In educational
matters, and at present Is an active mem
ber of the School Board of this city, a
position which he fills to the entire sat
isfaction of his fellow-citizens, regardless
of party. He enjoys a largo and lucrative
practice as a lawyer.
EXPERIMENTING "WITH SILAGE.
Tents at Agricultural College May
Revolutionize Feeding: System.
CORVALLIS, Jan. 2L Chemical analy
sis made at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege of silage treated with steam to lessen
or prevent souring reveals interesting
facts and suggests Immense possibilities
to result from an experiment In progress
at the station. The silage is corn, and
was put up last Autumn in two small
experimental silos, 5 feet In diameter and
12 feet high. Steam was introduced by
means of a pipe through the bottom of
the eilo. and the corn was heated to a
temperature of 212. The purpose was to
destroy the acetic add germs, and pre
vent fermentation. A few weeks ago one
of the silos was opened. The silage was
green and bright, presenting almost the
kamc appearance as when gathered In the
cornfield. Apparently no change had
taken place, the stalks remaining juicy
and sweet. Stock left all other kinds of
feed and ate the new silage revenously.
The Interesting fact of the analysis Is
that It showed the existence of but three
tenths of 1 per cent of acetic acid matter
in the silage. The latter had one-tenth
of 1 per cent of acidity -when it -went into
the silo, and accordingly but two-tenths
of 1 per cent has developed during its stay
there of eecvral months. Corn made Into
silage In the old way and analyzed last
season showed an acid content of L9S to
over 2 per cent.
At the station there Is great satisfac
tion over the result. There Is much confi
dence that the discovery will result In
bringing the plan to a practical basis, but
Dr. Withycombe declines to say that such
will be the case. Several problems con
nected with the discovery are yet to be
worked out. In the present instance the
silo was but five feet in diameter. A ques
tion is. Can a silo of 10 or 12 feet and
much greater height be as effectively
heated in every part as was the case in
the smaller silo? If It cannot be so heat
ed, with the single column of steam, how
and in what way can every portion be
brought to the required temperature of 212
degrees? Alsa, When and how can silos
that have to be filled after settling be
adequately heated? Finally, Can clover,
vetch, alfalfa and peas be as effectively
treated by the new plan?
If all these problems In connection with
the experiment are satisfactorily solved,
as seems probable, the discovery will be
of vast importance. It means that from
the eilo a balanced ration for animals
can be secured; that Is, a ration that will
supply all the food elements required for
growth, fat or milk, and of which a
grown animal may eat 100 pounds with
perfect freedom. A balanced ration from
the silo also means the elimination of
grain diet. If so desired, and the sub
stitution of silage, tho most economical
of all ration In short, a favorable con
clusion of the experiment means practi
cally a revolution In 6tock feeding, not
only In Oregon, but all over the country.
WRONG ABOUT TILLAMOOK.

SUIT OF CHINOOK INDIANS.
Taking: of Testimony Beprun In Their
Action Agrainst Government.
ASTORIA, Jan. 21. The taking of tes
timony in the suit brought by the Chinook
tribe of Indians against the United States
was commenced here today before Spe
cial Commissioner M. C. Macree. The
case has been pending in tho United I
States Court of Claims for about two
years and Is to secure reimbursement for
about 250,000 acres of land. Including the
site of the City of Astoria, all of Pacific
County Washington, and a portion of
Wahkiakum County, which were ceded
by this tribe under the treaty of 1S5L
According to the terms of that treaty,
which was agreed to by the Chlnooks,
they were to cede their lands to the Gov-
eminent, but were to be given a reserva
tion where they lived, along the shores
of the Columbia; were to have the ex
clusive fishing rights In the Columbia
River In front of their lands, also the
right tq use the timber and the owner
ship of the cranberry marshes. That
treaty was nevr ratified by the Senate,
probably because the Indians were peace
able and no trouble was anticipated from
them. They have not yet received any
remuneration for their lands. The claim
ants number about 350 and they ask that
they be paid the Government price for
the land, $1 25 per acre.
Willie Spence, a 14-year-old boy, who
escaped from the Boys and Girls' Aid
Society at Portland about two months
ago In company with Willis Hamilton,
was arrested here today. He has been
here a week engaged In carrying in wood
to dwellings and he says that Hamilton,
who is 13 years of age, is employed as
a whistle-blower at Foote's logging
camp near Westport, at a salary of 516
per month. Superintendent Gardiner
has wired that ho will come after the
boys.

XeKotlatlngr for Balnley-Elkhorn.
BAKER CITY, Jan. 21. The troubles of
the noted Balslcy-Elkhorn mine, a few
miles west of Baker City, are apparently
drawing to a close. Some Eastern cap
italists have offered to pay off the indebt
edness of the mine, provided the creditors
will accept 50 cents on the dollar for their
claims. The Indebtedness amounts to
about $00,000. Should the Eastern men se
cure the property, they propose to develop
it on an extensive scale.
Man Conghs Vp the Tip of a Bayonet.
LOS ANGELES. Jan. 21. After being
given up to die of what the doctors sup
posed was consumption, James W. Plunk
ett, a veteran soldier of the regular
Army, now staying In this city, coughed
up the tip of a bayonet out of his lungs
today, and probably will get well. Plunk
ett, who is a soldier of 20 years experi
ence, and who last saw service "with the
Forty-first TJnlted States Volunteer In-
fantry, Is unable to account for the bayo
net tip In his lungs, but supposed he must
have swallowed It with food. He often
used his bayonet as a cat-opener, and
presumably broke the point off In canned
meat.

VICTORIA, B. C, Jan. 2L The cruiser
Phaeton is to call at Astoria, Or., for

and Oregon coasts. If the Moana, now
due, brings no advices, the Phaeton will

Captain Simpson, of the survey-ship

The Condor could not scarry a great deal of
coal. The Phaeton, which has now gone
In search of her. Is capable of stowing ,
away about 1100 tons In her bunkers, and
tho Condor could not find room for more
than a fourth of this amount. The Phae
ton Is as fast as a mail steamer. On the
trial yesterday morning her engineers suc
ceeded in getting 16.2 knots out of her ma
chinery. Her best performance was a little
better than 18 knots per hour. Other than
naval officers, some of whom are also pes
simistic, the hnpresBlon prevails that the
warship has been lost. She is one of the
type of small craft recently built by the
admiralty. In which service writers are
showing defects. She was a vessel of the
model of tho lost sloop Wasp, which wa3
lost as the Condor probably has been. She

women like Mrs. Stutz say of it 1,000,000 American women who know the distress, agony, terror
and anguish, humiliation and despair that female troubles bring to a modest woman. Wc tell you
that this curse this misfortune may be banished forever by the use of Wine of Cardui. Wine of
Cardui will regulate menstrual derangements fust as surely as the moon regulates the tides. It is a
simple, bitter, vegetable wine, perfectly harmless- under ail circumstances, and used in connection with
Thedford's Black-Draught, to assimilate-and digest its virtues, it will regulate the menstrual habit, stop
the pains, restore the menses when suppressed, stop them when flooding, prevent miscarriage, make
the period of pregnancy pleasanter, confinement easier and recovery quick. Procure a bottle from
your druggist and take it in the privacy of your home. You cannot doubt this.

Darin? the Excitement, a Sick Sinn
Jumped to Ills Death.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21. At an early
hour this morning Patrolman Eugene C.
Robinson, of the Southern Station, wag
mortally wounded by three burglars whom,
he surprised In the act of breaking into a
hardware store on Valencia street near

to the hospital. One of the trio of sate
crackeps, supposed to be F. Daly, was
badly wounded by a shot from the police
man's pistol and captured.

as they were entering the store, and im
mediately crossed the street to arrest
them, calling upon them to surrender as
he did so. Instead of obeying, they opened
fire upon him simultaneously, and three
bullets struck the policeman In tne ab
domen. As he fell he opened fire with
his revolver and struck one of the bur.
glars. who ran. for a short distance Into
the arms of another policeman, attracted
to the scene by the shots. Tho other Use
men escaped meanwhile, and, although a
posse of policemen soon took up the scent,
they managed to elude their pursuers.
Daly refused to tell the identity of hia
companions.
When the firing commenced In trie
street below, Adolph Albcrsmeyer, who
had been suffering from delirium tremens
for several das, sprang from his bed,
and, with a scream of terror, rushed into
the hallway, broke away from the grasp
of his nurse ran to the front of the.
house, and plunged through a window,
carrying sash and all with him. The un
fortunate man landed on an awning ovci
tho entrance to a store below and rolled
to Its edge, whero he clung for a mo.
ment. Then he dropped heavily to the
sidewalk, striking on his head, and was
found unconscious. Albersmcyer was hur.
rled to the City and County Hospital. but
as ho was being lifted to the operating
table he gasped and died.
