In no other Oregon c unty do statlst'cs

market, and ethers have bren turnd

Prices cf t"ese arlmals four vers ago
and today, given by prominent busl
nrrs and stock men, show how much
more nvrty has come into the county
as a result of present conditions, and
how much has been added to the value
of stock now la the county. This gives
Bryar!es the UiH benU if the rather
Improbable assumption that the stock In
duFtry would be as great under Derao
crnMc low prices as at present. W. R.
Holmes, banker 0? Enterprise, and broth
er of Charles" G. Holmes, one of the
most prominent stockmen of the coun
ty, submits the following Interesting
statement:
1SD0 and IOOO Prices Compared.
"Four years ago we sold our cattle nt
$2 15 per hundred pounds; this year w.
realized $3 SO, a difference of 11 35. Tak
ing an average beef at 1109. and tho
countj s output this oar at 2500 head,
-we see that "Wallowa, received $37,150 more
this year than It would have under 18M
conditions. Prices for other stock show
up equally as well. Mutton sheep weth
ers, then Jl 85, now J3, estimated annual
output, 25,000, gain of $2S,750; wool, 1,000,
OOO pounds, sold for 6 cents four ears
ago; some had, even at that price, to
pay a rebate after shipment; this year
our product was contracted ahead at IS
cents, which gives a balance on the
right side of the ledger of 190,000;, hoRS
17 000 head of which wero sold, 3 cents a
pound in 129S. E& this year, estimating ov
erage porker at 2S5 pounds, or & gain
of JP6 000. In 18P6 there was no market
for horses. This year about 300 wore
driven out, bringing to tho county ap
proximately 115.000. This gives a totnl In
crease of about 326C.500 to Wallowa for
cattle, sheep, hones, hogs and wool sold
annually."
The usual numbers of mutton for 200
000 head of stock sheep were not driven
from the countj this jear. Fancy pr!cs
of yearlings and lambs last ear caused
sheep men to dispose rf this year's rauC-
tons at that tlma. The above estimates qf
InrrMBp tiauri fln fots and fltunes. ar
corroborated Jrcm another source.
This Is only a portion of the actual gain
made by the county In wealth as a re
sult of present high prices. A correspond
ing Increase, has been made In, prices of
stock cattle. Stock sheep, now worth
about $3 50, brought U S6 four youxe ago,
an Increase of $360,000 In the va'ue of
200,000 head. Prices for oattle have
more than doubled, giving Wallowa's 10,
O00 stock eattlo an Increase of at least
315 each, or a total of J1S0.O00. Hordes
had praotleally no value in 1S9S, but,
crediting Wallowa's bands with a prl e of
310 eaoa and placing their present ap-1
proximate price at 320. an Increase o' at
least 350.000 te the result. A county mar
keting morci than 17,(00 hogs annually will
have about 51,003 etock hogs, which should
average at least i"0 pounds each. At the
Increased prices paid for pork a greater
value of over XlCOGOO 10uld be repre
sented. The aggregate increase for sio.k
animals would" thus be about $630 OQCt I
which, added to net increase of value of .
stock marketed. give a total of $S6.W.
which Republican place to the crelit of
McKlnley prosperity.
These figures are liberally cpnservatlve.
Buvers are w tiling t pay these prices
quoted and often mare. The market can
truly be e&M to be very aatlve. A promi
nent business man says he bought a cow
and calf at executor's sale for 7 Si in
1S9S. and acquired several at rates no
higher oa forced sales. This Illustrates
that there was no market Now calves
are quicklv bought up at from $12 to $lS
oaoh, and oows at $30 to $SQ, A high
price for a oow and young calf In 1898, If
a purchaser could be found, was $1S: now
they readily bring from $17 to $10. Under
the Cleveland Administration yearling
eteers were worth $9: now, $21 "Four
years ago Jonathan Haas went over into
Umatilla Coun.ty and purchased a lot or
yearling sheep, paid expenses of driving
to "Wallowa County and there only real
ised $1 10 a head. Now lambs, which are
worth less than yearlings, sell for $3 ID
each.
Benefit Is General.
And so a. number ot illustrations coull
be given, showing the unparalleled pros
perity of Wallowa County Industries.
Land Is worth more, as much sa $10 an,
acre In some localities. Many new set
tlers have been drawn into the count.
Prosperity Is everywhere. Agricultural
products cannot probably be shipped out,
owing to inadequate transportation, but
the local price of wheat grown In Wallo
wa County Is DO cents a bushel. It Is
converted Into hog and cattle flesh, and
tho animals made to be their own means
of transportation.
A fitting Illustration of the prosperity
accruing to Wallowa County's stock In
dustry under the Hepubllcan Administra
tion Is given by a prominent sheepman.
H Is the only very prominent sheepman
In the county who Is a Democrat, and
only retains his political persuasions be
cause he Is a Democrat by tradition. He
told a friend & few days ego that he
would not let any more Democrats have
bands ot sheep to go. Into the business
because It always made Republicans ot
them.

At the Juno election Wallowa polled a
heavy vpte, according to Its population.
The records show that 1200 voters were
reglstejred and all but fO cast ballots.
Considering that the preolncte .are ifew,
In a sparsely nettled country, the "stay-at-home"
vote amounted to practically
nothing: If the same strength Is out
Tuesday Republicans will be satl-fled.
Apathy Is feared more than Democratic
spellbinders. But Wallowa has shown
more Interest In the campaign than most
of Eastern Oregon countlos. A strong
vote Is expected. Wallace McCamant,
for the Republicans, and Judge Benrett,
for the Democrats, thoroughly canvassed
the county. Both were given good au
diences and created enthusiasm.

MUCH ETHtJSIASM AT EUGENE.
Both Pnrttes Closed Compaism By
Speeches Afternoon and. Evening.
EUGENE, On, Nbv, 3. The campaign
closed In Eugene today with speeches in
the afternoon and evening by both par
ties. More enthusiasm was displayed
than at any previous time during tho
campaign, but the demonstration "was
tame as compared with former years.
The Republicans occupied the Opera
House and H6n. John H. Mitchell made
a strong speech, which waa well 'received
by a large audience.
In his addre"ss he dwelt principally on
the question of expansion, which he pre
sented with convincing arguments. He
made an extensive review of history and
the action of political parties in regard
to acquisition of territory in former
1 years, the Louisiana purchase, Florida
purchase, Gadcdon purchase -and the ac
quisition of territory from Mexico, xie
Illustrated, by reference to statistics, that
the growth of the country has been al
most dependent upon expansion. He also
spent considerable time in comparing the
Industrial and commercial prospects un
der the various administrations for the
part 40 years, and especially during tho
past 1C years.
Hon. H L.. Barclay spoke for the Bryan
party In the Courthouse, and had a large
audience. He made an eloquent addrcs-s
and won much applause. His adaress
was principally on the line of picking out
flaws and errors in the McKlnley Admin
istration. His witty expressions brought
much applause from the Bryanltos, and
the meeting was considered a successful
close of the campaign.
In tho evening Hon. F. V. Holman oc
cupied the Courthouse, while Hon. R. F.
Bell spoke to a crowded house In the
OperaHouse.
DOUGLAS COUATV CAMPAIGN.
Closed toy Grand Rally at Roscbnrg
Hon. C. W. Fulton Spoke.
ROSEBURG, Or., Nov. 3. The grand
closing rally of the campaign In this coun
ty was held by the McKlnley Club In the
Opera-House last evening, Hon. C. W.
Fulton being the speaker. The Roseburg
band headed the procession, and escorted
the Bpeaker and prominent Republican
leaders rom the hotel to the Opera-House,
where they wero greeted by a large and
enthusiastic crowd, representing the three
old parties and Including many ladles.
Mr. Fulton dwelt principally on Bryan,
hl9 Inconsistencies and false prophesies,
defying any Bryanlte present to announcu
a single prophesy made by Bryan during
the past four years which had really been
fulfilled. Bryan's Inconsistency in turning
down Hill for that prince of political
tricksters and corrupt party leaders, Crp
ker, the Ice trust magnate, was shown up
In vivid style, as was also Bryan's own
connection with a form of trust, the copy
right on his book, from which trust he
renped a rich reward.
Bryan's connections with tho Spanish
American peace treaty was nlso shown
up as a fitting example of the duplicity of
the man. In fact, never before has such
an arraignment and complete exposure of
the deceit and fallacies of Bryan and
Bryanlsm been beard In Southern Oregon
Mrl Fulton's remarks wero delivered In
such courteous and convincing manner,
however, that few exceptions could be
taken, even b3f the opposition.
The speaker concluded his address by
paving a good tribute to the soldier boys
of both the Cuban and Philippine cam
paigns and the honor and Justification of
tKe cause for which they fought and are
fighting. The speech was generally de
clared to be one of the most eloquent, able,
and convincing delivered In this county
during the campaign, and was productive
of great good for the Republican cause.

MTRTLC POtNT. Or., Oct 30 Arthur H. Bleck, Republican Representative from Coos

to McDonouEh County, Ulinol", where he resided on his fathor's farm until he was 21. In
1S75 he came to Oregon, sealing in Linn County, near Sclo. In 1870 he moved to Marion
County, near Salem, where he lived until the Fall of 188?, when ho moved to East Port

well-earned fame and fully satisfied the
most sanguine expectations of his party
friends.
While he let fall sledge-hammer argu
ments In behalf of the continuance of Re
publican policy, he pilloried Democrats far
abandoning the history and traditions of
their party and following after strange
gods. And though his thrusts were se
vere, they were tempered with reason and
judgment, and his iumoroua sallies and
ludicrous comparisons kept the audience
In a constant state of ferment. At no
stage of his .speech could It be foreseen
where or whom he would hit next, or
how hard the blow would be. He con
trasted, with telling effect, the results or
Republican and Democratic Administra
tions and showed that a hopeful and help
ful policy brought about good conditions,

and that good conditions neither Induced,
nor favored, nor permitted hard times and
depressions.
He said the paramount issue, imperial

honest man knew It, and If not a blind
and perverse follower of Bryan, woulo.

through Bryan, responsible for the ratifi
cation of the Paris treaty, and by virtue
of It. the acquisition of the Philippine
Islands. That they could not have been
purchased but by and through the aid
of Democratic votes, and that now tho
insurrection in the Islands was being en
couraged and abetted by the party
through whose Influence they became ter
ritory of tho United States and subject to
Its authority.
To show the Insincerity of the cry for
consent of the governed, ho cited the condi
tions In the Southern States, where a large
percentage of the people were disfran
chised by Democratic votes, and still they
were governed, and, he regretted to say,
sometimes with violence and fraud. The
crowd was so great and so many were
unable to hear him at the Opera-House
that he was obliged to respond to the de
mand and make a second speech from the
balcony of the hotel. The demonstration 1
was the greatest ever witnessed In South

Game "Was Played on a Good
Field at Koret Grove.
FOREST GROVE, Or., NJov. 3. The
Portland High School football team de
feated the -Pacific University eleven by
a score of 11 to 0 here this afternoon.
The field was in, good condition, tho best
it Jjas bcejn this year. The Forest GroVe
players outweighed, the Portland boys
about 13 pounds to the man.
Both, teams played clean, ball. The sen,
satlonal play of tho game was Tidcome's
drop-kick from Forest Grove's 25-yard
line In the second half. The university
team made nearly all their gains by line
plunges, apd tho High School boys use.d
both the line plunges and tho end runs
to great .advantage. Day, Wilcox And
Fakner were the star players for Pa
cific University, Woodcock, Adams.
Eagleton and Smith all played strong
games for the High School team. The
long end runs of Tldcomo and Connell,
and the punting of Trowbridge, were the
features of the game. In fact, the work
of both teams, was excellent.

WELSH-COX FIGHT A DRAW.
Portland Man Had Much the Best ot
It Decision Wns n Surprise.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Nov. 3. Mickey
Welsh, of this city, and Tommy Cox, of
Portland, fought 20 rounds in the Opera
House early this morning. Tfaere was a
long delay over the selection of a ref
eree, and It was nearly 1 o'clock when
the fight was called.
Cox did not have much advantage the
first half of the fight but in tho last
half was clearly the superior of- Welsh,
the latter leading the Portland man a
HveJy chase around the ring and drop
ping to his knees at the least provoca
tion. Cox was in this way unable to
deliver a knock-out blow, while Welsh
was enabled to hold out until tne nnal
round.
The fight, though It was clearly in
Cox's favor, was decided a draw, much, to
the surprise of the sports. Welsh claims
today that his left arm was dislocated
in the fourth round, and he had to adopt
the tactics which he did, to save his
money, if possible.

REWARD OF MERIT.
A New Catarrh Cure Secures Na
tional Popularity in Leas Than
One Year.
Throughout a great nation of 80.000,000 It
is a desperate struggle to secure even a.
recognition for a new article, to say noth
ing of achieving popular favor, and yet
within ono year Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
the new catarrh cure, has met with such
success that today it can be found In
every drug store throughout the United
States and Canada, - - -.
To be sure, a large amount of advertis
ing was necessary In the first instance to
bring the remedy to tho attention of the
public, but every one familiar with the
subject knows that advertising alone
never made any article permanently suc
cessful. It must have In addition abso
lute, undeniable merit, and this the new
catarrh cure certainly possesses In &
marked degree.
Physicians Who formerly depended upon
inhalers, sprays and local washes or oint
ments now use Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
because, as one of the most prominent
stated, these tablets contain In pleasant,
convenient form all the really efficient
catarrh remedies, such as red gum, Guaa
col, Eucalyptol and Sangulnarln.
They contain no cocaine nor opiate, and
are given to little children with entlra
safety and benefit
Dr. J. J. Reitiger, of Covingtpn. Ky.,
says: "I suffered from catarrh In my
head and throat every Fall, with stoppage
of the nose and Irritation In the throat,
affecting my voice and ofjen extending to
the stomach, causing catarrh of the stom
ach. I bought a 50-cent package of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets it my druggist's,
carried them in mj pocket and used them
faithfully, and the way In which they
cleared my head and throat was certainly
remarkable. I. had no catarrh last Win
ter and Spring, and consider myself en
tirely free from any catarrhal trouble.'
Mrs. Jerome Ellison, of Wheeling, W.
Va writes: "I suffered from catarrh
nearly my whole life and last Winter my
two children also suffered frm catarrhal
colds and sore throat so nrteh they were
out of school a large portion of the Win
ter. My brother, who was cured of ca
tarrhal deafness by uslng iJtuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets, urged mo to try them so
much that I did so, and am truly thankful
for what they have don for myself and
my children. I always keep a box o'f the
tablets In the house, and at the first ap
pearance of a cold or sore throat w nip
It in the bud and ca'nrrh is no longer a
household affliction with us'
