Indication that- the plum at the prison

for the nlace ac-Sheriff F. W. Durbln and
W. H. DownUig. chairman of the Demo

and it was understood that Governor

Durbln andDownlng were each uncom

a refusal of the Governor to choose be

that place Major R. JU Ixabo, of tho

BAKER CITY. Or.. Feb. 6. (Sncclal.)-
The appointment of C W. James, of this
city, by Governor Chamberlain to. be,
Superintendent ot tho State Penitentiary
meets with general approval. Mr. James
Is the rcclpfent tonight of the hearty con
gratulations 01 nis mends and .neighbors
regardless of politics. The Democrats are
especially well pleased, as Mr. James Is n
general party favorite, yet In no sense Is
be what may bo termed an offensive par
tisan, although he Is a staunch Jeffer
sonlan Democrat. The appointment came
as a surprise at this time, because It was
quite generally thought that no appoint
ment for this place would be made until
after the Legislature adjourned. Mr.
James had the unanimous suDDorl of thn
"party leaders In this part "of the state.

BUTTE, Mont. Feb. 6. A .Helena spe
cial says that the Supremo Court re
versed the order of Judge Clancy, of the
District Court of Silver Bow County, en
joining tho Boston & Montana Company
from working certain bodies of the noted
Pennsylvania mine, on the ground that
the Mpntana Oro Purchasing Company
had been decreed the ownership of the
property. The Montana Ore Purchasing
Company charged that the,Boaton, & Mon
tana was extracting ores from veins
which the Supreme Court" had heretofore
awarded it. but the appellate court rules
that no sufficient cause has been shown
bj theIontana OrcPurchaslng Company
to warrant an Injunction.
amendment, which finally carried, cutting
out the allowanco of $900 per annum for
a ueputy commissioner. Mr. Hale pro
posed further to amend by cuttine out
all appropriations under the act, and the
acuaie was on. "
"I speak," announced Mr. Hale; "as a
man unbiased and untrammefed. I have
n-" political favors to ask, and I do not
fear to take a strong stand against this
bill. I am a candidate for no office, and
T stand here as a man who cannot be
swayed from his honest convictions. No
body Is a better friend of the laborer than
I, but I am opposed to taxing farmers
for the benefit of any labor organization.
I Insist that this appropriation be not
made."
Judgo Hale called upon tho Legislature
to beware of spending money. "The ap
propriations of this Legislature." ho de
clared, "wlireappalllng, something pro
digious, enormous!"
Mr. Reed fought the amendment of
Judge Hale. "It .will kill the bill." he
cried. "If the commissioner got no money
from the state the act 'would be enforced
In the Interest of somebody who would
give secret compensation. "If the bill is
bad," said Mr. Reed, "let's kill it; if the
bill Is not bad, let's leave In this section."
Mr. Bailey made a atrontr defense of the
bill against the amendment. He said that
laboring men needed the bureau, and that
they were worthy ot consideration as well
as anybody. The bureau was to compllo
Knunieage wmcn wouia Do of benefit to
the laboring men. "This Isno new
thing." asserted Mr. Bailey. "Thirty states
already have laws of the kind nronosed.
and this bill appropriates less money than
any 01 tncm.
"The State Federation of Labor." went
on Air. iJaney. "demands this bureau
xne ncpumican party in its platform de
clared ror labor legislation. So did the
Democratic party. I put It before this
House If defeat of this bill will not open
the Republican party- to tho charge of
had faith. The Republican party
cannot afford to strike out this section.
Are labor planks put In. party platforms
to win votes? Disprove the charge.
"Who pays taxes If the laboring man
doesn't? The owner of a house charges
taxes to tho laboring man in rent. The
grocer charges taxes to him In the post
ot the necessaries of life All the burden
of taxation rests on "the shoulders of
workingmen. All other classes of men
nave legislation In their interest. Why
deny to us this privilege?"
Mr. Shelley, chairman of the labor com
mittee, wanted the Halo amendment
voted down because ho wished ,to havo
toe Din paasea or defeated on Its merits.
"inevKpubllcan party," he said loudly
'Moes recognize labor. This House ha
already passed several bills in the inter
est of labor."
Mr. Cornett said he represented labor,
but a different kind than that of Mr.
Bailey's. Mr. Cornett's kind was agricul
tural, wnicn was organized In Granges.
"e. too," he said, "are complllnir sta
tistics ot our labor, but wo pay our own
expenses, ana don t ask the state for any
thing."
Mr. Bailey How about the Dairy and
t ooa commissioner!
Mr. Cornett That's different.
Mr. Judd I regard my Multnomah
.mend's accusation that the Republican
party nas Deen untrue to its pledges 1
Mr. Bailey I eald nothing of the kind.
I said It would be.
Mr. Judd Thank you. I feel much re
lieved. "Now," went on Mr. Judd. "In
stead of jumping on us the laboring people
snouiu uianK us. lor uie interest we take
In their movement."
Mr. Cobb advocated the bill as It stood.
"Labor Interests." said he. "represent
more Industry than any In the United
States. Wo should accord to these people
the privilege of "having a commissioner.
The nearer, we get to our employes the
better. As citizens ot Oregon we owe
this to them."
Mr. Eddy also spoke against 'the amend
ment and for the bill. "In all states," he
proclaimed, "where this legislation' has
been delayed, a factory system has grown
up detrimental to the public welfare. We
are not going to be radical, but we are go
ing to give labor reasonable protection.1
Mr. Hale again came to the defence of
his motion. "The people of Oregon should
not be taxed for this bureau," he ex
claimed. "Let the Legislature keep In
mind Its duty." He cautioned the mem
bers to beware ot "".the high tidal wave
of what he knew not." If organized la
bor wishes to carry on a bureau let the
Institution bo self-sustaining. In all can
dor and all franknrs this motion la found
ed'ln Justice and equality, and ought to
prevail. This labor .commissioner may be
come a court of inquisition against every
industry In the state.
"The gentlemarifrora Josephine," retort
ed Mr. Bailey, "has put up ei scarecrow
and is rushing away from it with great
speed."
Mr. Hale's motion was voted down and
Mr. Harris- amendment was adopted. An
other amendment of Mr. Harris was also
adopted to permit agents of the bureau
to enter factories,, workshops, etc., only
rat "reasonable" times. Mr. Burleigh.
Democrat, tried vainly to amend the
bill so as to put the appointment of the
commissioner in the hands ot the Gov
ernor.
Representative' Hodson today intro
duced a series of bills prepared by the
Oregon Bar Association, which are de
signed to bring about throughout the
United States a more uniform system of
laws, relative to such subjects as the
scaling of deeds, welshts and measures,
execution of wills. Insurance and so on;
and to appoint a commission for the pro
motion ot uniformity. The bills had pre
viously been presented to the Judiciary
committee by Mr. Hodson, but Chairman
kEddy could not see his way clear to
adopt them as committee measures. The Blirplus funds in municipal or school fis-

IWS DISEASES
It has always been our rule to promise
nothing that we, arc not. able to accom
plish with absolute certainty. , Realizing i
that no pno physician can successfully
undertake to cure all diseases. -our head
tpeclallst In these diseases entered special
courses of studyv in preparation for his
present work. For 21 years he has been
proving his ability and building his suc
cess. He first mastered the simpler
diseases: then tho serious complex and
stubborn ones, that others neither cure
nor comprehend. He has confined his ef
forts to diseases of men exclusively, and
there Is no ailment belonglngto the class
that he cannot fully conquer?
Thorough Treatment of
Contracted Disorders
Every contracted disease Is at
tended by grave dangers that noth
ing less than a thorough and abso
lute euro can remove. To take even
the slightest chance In such cases
Is to invite life-long misery. Men
do nut realize this as they should.
A partial cure is followed by a
chronic stage, with all Its horrors
the sr.nic as though the disease had
not been treated at all. We posi
tively wIIJ not dismiss a patient
until every possibility of relapse is
removed. By our system ot treat
ment every patjent Is soundly
cured and made as free from
disease taint as he was before tho
ailment was contracted.
Varicocele ,
We positively 'cure varicocele by
painless treatment. We have cured
thousands of cases of this disease,
and not In a single instance has our
treatment been followed by unde
sirable results. The methods we
employ ure In their essential fea
tures distinctively our own and are
a result of years of careful study
and observation. Do "not delay.
Varicocele has robbed many a man
of his strength and vitality, and If
neglected results .In a withering and
wasting away of the organs In
volved. Your .comfort, happiness
demand a cure.Vand- the service we
offer you is not to be obtained else
where. Stricture
Our treatment for this disease la
entirely Independent of surgery. A
complete cure Is accomplished with
out cutting or dilating. All growths
and obstructions lr. the passage are
dissolved, the membranes cleansed,
and all Irritation or congestion removed.
"Weakness" Permanently
Cured
Nn other ailment yields mora
readily und6r our treatment than
functional "weakness." No other
disonler peculiar to men so com
pletely baffles ordinary medical
skill. When a treatment cures
there is a reason why It cures, and
when a remedy fails there Is also
a reason wiby. Our treatment cures
because all effort Is directed toward
the restoration of normal conditions
throughout the organic system, re
moving all inflammation or over
sensttlveness ot tho prostate gland,
which is the sole cause of the
functional derangement. Other
forms of treatment fall because,
they are based upon misunder
standing as to the nature of the
trouble, nnd are calculated to ex
cite activity by stimulating tho
nerv! centers. Wc treat more cases
of "weakness" than any one other
ailment, and wo obtain perfect re
sults In all Instances.
Specific Blood Poison
Others dose tho system with min
eral .poisons scarcely less danger
ous than the disease Itself. Tho
best they hope to do by this treat
ment Is to keep the disease from
manifesting its presence upon the
surface of the body. Under our
treatment the entire system Is
cleansed. The last taint of virus
is destroyed, every symptom vau
lting to appear no more. We em
ploy harmless blood-cleansing rem
edies heretofore unknown In th
treatment of this disease. They
cure by neutralizing and absolutely
destroying the poison In the system.
Such cures cannot be otherwise
than complete and permanent.
