One of tbe buceet fool ideas th.t ever gut into the beads of slot of f j j1 statesmen was that which got lodged lit tbe brains of the last Or gn legis!aare and caused the repeal of ue" law which provided fur a state board of eqaaiizatioe. Tbe de mand for the i e peal of tbe law came largely from the agricultural districts, and now the agricultural districts have to pay for it. Nine time ont of ten it will be found that tbe farmer' land has been assessed at.abont tbe same valuation as on former years, and tbU wilt be largely true of the residents of the smal ler towns and cities, t-nt in the larger cities where the wealth if soccedtrated the Urge property owners were quick to see the advantage to he derived from a lower valuation, ac.d as a tesait we have a decrease in the valuation in Portland of more than f 1,000,000. Tbe saving of coarse is in tbe state tax, aud now the "cw counties" will have logo down in thur pockets and pay for the pepclietic craze, which demanded and secured the abrogation of tbe eute board of equaliza tion, a sum sufficient to have paid the expenses of the board for 20 year?. A few democratic paitera ef Oregon are 0t now famishing evidet.ee of the v:cL oasnese of some kinds of jiurnaliem. They have discovered a Polk couoty man who is willing to swear that he paia tbe Governor $1000 to be appoiuted su perintendent of tbe peoiteo'iary, acd failing to receive it, demanded bis money back and got it; and further that be has written evidence with whxh to back his statements. The whole thing reads like one of the blatkeel political lies. The democratic papers koo', of cours?, that . it is a lie, bat tney are tnakiog the most of it. Tbey bold op their hands and roll op their eyebrows raoctimoniouely, de claring that each a thing is not possible, that tbe cbiaf executive of the great and good eta:e of Oregon could not do eocb dishonor to his people, that it would brand him as a worse than Benedict Ar nold, etc., etc. But if it aauuld be true, tbey insinuate: it it ehonid be true, this most conupt of ail cffic'.airi, thi blackest of traitc-rs should be driren out of otlice, oat of politics, out oat of the people's memory.

Modder River Bridge Was Destroyed Dutch Are Concentrating for a Battle at Spyfonteln. Londos, Die. 2 The war otlice has received tho Knowing from General Foiestier-Walker: "Cape Toan, Dec. 1 Geueral GaUc.e reports no chaue in the t-ituation. -Geu. cral French made a recouuoissante from Naauwport to Koemead. The troops re turned today. "General Metheun'a UjsU wound is slight, lie is remaining at Modde river for the reconstruction of t ridges. Am reiuforciug him with Highlanders and eavairy corps.

As MirmUed, the Eaj-heh dead and aouaded at the hard-fought i attle cf Modder river U'tmber hundreds. The war department today gave out the in formatiou that the total number of caa ualli?3 was 4j.', and the number killed, 27. The revised list of Modder liver cas ualties noocommieeiond officers and mcc, is divided as follows: MSTHL'IIN'S KNFonCSD DKLAY. Fiooi General Forestier-Walker's die patch it is proved tuat all reports of Me-! thuen'a advaaco after the battle cf Mod der river were premature, tbouh wita the railroad working, be should, not be locg ia constructing temporary bridges. His enforced delay doubtlesj will be of cjueiderable service in giving his haid pushed C3lumn needed rest, and ia al lowing the arrival cf reinforcements which he mast be sorely in need of, after three such fights, placing hors de combat upwards of a thousand men oot of lees than 7CC . A Lrief special message from Cape Town tonight states that the Boers de stroyed the bridge over the Modder river before the battle, and are now concen tiaiing at Spjfonteiu, where the final b-t'la before Kimberley is relieved is ex. peeled to take place. . - The cei.sor has apparently stopped all press messagta from the front relating lo the battle, wh.ch is not regarded as a favorable indication. As to tbe materia results of General Methaen'a victories, i ia net clear a hether General Methuea' lorce actually croeeed tbe alodder river, or et i His awaiting tbe rebuilding of tbe bridge before the artillery and cavalry can eras'. la any case, tbe lail oai maet be carried over the bridge before tbe indispensable big naval guns can pass, because Lord Methaen'a )at mes sage showed that tbey were workc t on trucke along ibe railroad. It is a signifi cant fact that Lord Methoen's cable makes no mention of the Boer bee. which, therefore, is assumed to be email. A dispatch from Cape Town Ibis eve nkg says Lord Methoen's advance un doubtedly is beginning to affect the Boer strategy and probably explains the with' drawal from Mooi river. What Scrofula Is.

PIONEER HISTORY. By One of the First Settlers la the Umpqus Valley. Eugfne, O., Nov.l27, 1899. Editor Plaindkalkb: Your favor of recent date stating that you bad copied into your columns my reminieceneec of incidents that transpired mostly in Doug las county dtiring the Iodian war of '54 '55, as published in the Daily Engeue Guard of Oct. 23rd and 24tb, aud request ing me to turnish you withany additional items of interest pertaining to early I times, which I might write is received, j This coming from an entiro stranger is j perhaps an indication that what you may ' receive from my bands is of sufficient interest for somo, at least, of your read ers to peruse. The writer first made his home in the beautiful Uropqua Valley in the spring of 1S54 and resided theie 17 jea.s, and in that time he made the acquaintance of many of its early settlers, and still numberet he few -emaining "old timers" as being his most es.eemed friends. This by way of introduction. THI 11 ALL FAMILY 1 am not certain as to the exact date but it must have been very early in the '41)'e, that the three brothers, John, Lang!ey and George Hall came from Statfoidshire, England, aud located in what was then a very new country with neighbois "few and far betweeu" in Bi neau cou i ty, Illinois. In ttie spring o! 1S53 they "started the plains across," neing horse and ox teams for the par pofe. Like manv other of the emigrants of that year they were beguiled in coming by the mlddla fork of the Willamette river route, and after suffering terrible piivaticus for lack of provisions forthem- eelvea and feed for their stock, Ihey reached the leitlemeDt almost mora ded lhao alive a month or more later than those coming by otber routes. Seven mouihs was required to mako toe trip, now it is done ia less than half that many dajs. They were told that tbe road over the Cascade moontaioe was open, but it was not. John and George bought the right to a choke tract of land six miles cast of Oak land and built their log cabin on the di vision lice so that earh could occupy the same house and still comply ' with tbe donation lacd Una then in force. In early times a maa with a family cralJ secure a section 049 acres of land by cultivating the same and making it his home ccnticuoosly for five years. A single man, or as they were formally known, "bachelors" was entitled to hall ateciioo. Alter a certain date just tali of this amount was given with tbe same restrictions. Tbe two brother were single men and held bat half a section, but in after years added many more teres by purchase. Toe right to their donation claim was bought from William Stephens, who never married and died recently at Wal a Walls. John died years ago at a good old age. George, tbe younger brother, married a MiesJame who orvives him and lives at the old home surrounded by a numer ous progeny of children and grandchil dren. The brother, Langley, married in Eng land and in addition to carrying on an extensive farm, found leisure when his services weie required to practice medi cine.; Tbe writer recollects very well being in the Doctor's coai pan y at one time when the subject cf railroads was first dis cussed around Oakland. "Tot, tot, tat," said the Dr., "what 'a the see of a rail road here when there is cot enough raised in tbe whole Umpqua Valley in a year lo load one car." Bat the Doctor and bis good wife who both have passed away, lived to see Oregon "to blossom as the rose," sod by tbe industry of its in habitants millions are fed. Mrs. Sarah Thomas, Mrs. Facny Elocx field and Mrs. Mary Smith, all of Oaitlacd, with others were heirs of this woubv couple. Peihapa your readers n ay pardon me for taking op so much space when speaking of the Halls, bat it was with Uncle John and Ucc'.e George that I, a bachelor for aabile, made my home. Yes, and it often occurs to me that it was tbe dear ltdy friends jast mentioned who first named me "Uncle Sam," a name not to be sneezed at. Mr. and Mrs. James H. Smith came in tbe same train and lived a long time in Douglas county, but reside now at Cres well. WIXCIIESTEB. For many years the ferry across the North Umpqiia river at Winchester was owne l by Thomas Smith and Mr. Aiken Tbe former is still an honored citizen of Douglas county. In tbe early SO's while Roseburg was still, so to speak, in its in fancy, the U. S. Land Office was located here, and it memory serves me right it was in charge of Wiliiam J. Martin, "Old War nil k Bark," and Col. Mother, a son-in-law of Gen. Joe Line. ' I believe it was in the summer of '01 that the Mooie brothers built a biidge at this place which proved a total loss to them, for during tho winter the waters rose to an unusual height acd carried away nearly all the bridges in the coun ty, including this one. WILBL'R AND CAMAS SWALE. " Wilbur academy was fonndad in '54 a d the village was n..ined alter us founder, Rev. J. 11. Wilimr, of the Methoditt church, or as he was UtUally called "Father" Wilour. Much of the material for this institution of learning was carried cn pack animals fioin Scotti burg, "Father ' W. lei.ig an expert packer. Most of the freight for Southern Oregon came in schooners ts Gardi ner at the mouth of the Umpqua and was carried from that point to Ssottsburg on ateam boats. Among tbe promiuent old citizeua cf Wilbur tbe name of F. R. Hill, Benj Grubbe, Rev. Fletcher Royal, James Clinkenbeard and William Kuykendall are remembered. Dr. W. Kuykendall, one of the most efficient physicians ol Lane county, and son of the last named, resides in Eugene. Going lurttier up the saale we find the home of Mr. Cooper, with Hon. M. P. Deadv, n man well known in early Oregon history, for a near neighbor. Judge R. E. Stratton alto resided in the vicinity. , Turning northwest we found the Knott farm, also the homes of David Hurst, A. E. McGbee and John Mires, step-father cf Ex-Snrveyor General W. H. li-ars. Going back to the south side of the Swale we nod the home (or did more than 40 yean ago) of John C. Smith, who e widow survives him and lives in Oakland. Terched on the hillside a little further on, surrounded with orchards that yield ed an abundance of nice cherries, apples and peaches (for fruit was a scarce arti cle these days) was the residence of Fendal Sutherlin, one of the best known pioneers of the Umpq ia Valley and who, we believe, i j one of the few of hose who coming at such an early date, survive. A WIDOINO. Just forty-three years ago today a wed ding was celebrated at the home of Sam uel L. Cannon, his daughter, Mies Sarah J. Cannon, being united in marriage to Samuel Handsaker, "Uncle" John Dil- laid, the founder of the village of that name, officiating. Words are inadequate to express the value of a real good help mate, who through sickness and health has been such for so msuy years. The result of this anion is four "Native Sons" and a like number of "Native Daughters" (oot omitting their first born, a lovely daughter, whose body years ago was p'aced in the Canyonville cemetery. This venerable pair also Say claim to an even score of grandchildren. The writer often wonders how many of the 120 personi who eat done to an ele gr.ct dinner the day following the wed ding, at the very nice new residence of Mr.Iand Mrs. Thomas Stephens, kindly donated to the then yocog couple, are yet living? Mr. Cannon was engaged for so .is years in the manufacture of salt, the suply of witter coming from springs ad jacent t) the Swale. Ao excellent arti cle was made bat the imported article could be bought cheaper than this, and the works were shot down. Samuel Handsakeb. Football Notes.

Some women at the critical period of ap-prov-hirr? motherhood fortunately receive every care and attention which abundant means can bestow, but the vast majority of them are ohl i?cd to take care of themselves and do their 'own work into tbe bargain; and what woman with family duties de- pendent upon her can be expected to pa tiently endure the long-drawn-out weari ness of waiting and hoping in sickness and wretchedness for a recovery that seems to come on leaden wings? " My wife has been a Brest sufferer from troub le incident to approaching motherhood." says Rev. K. K. Nelson, of Darrtlls, Dinwiddle Co., Va. "She suffered with such distressing sick stomach iat she could not take food; what little was forced down could not be retained. Her breath was very offensive and indicated bad state of Ihe stomach. The digestive organs re fused to work. The trouble heenme so severe and obstinate that I was really alarmed. She began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, 'Golden Medical Discovery" and 'Pellets1 and about the same time I wrote to Dr. Pierce for particular advice. He promptly and very courte ously replied, saying that he felt sure a persistent use of these remedies would prove effectual. " By the time the letter was received she was improving fast nnd before all of one bottle each of the 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Discovery ' had been taken she was up, able to cat. retain and digest her food. She con tinued to improve until entirely welt without taking more than the two bottles mentioned, and some of the ' Pellets.' " Accept no substitutes for these world famed medicines, that may be urged upon you, not for your good, but that the dealer may make a little extra profit. These remedies contain no trace of alco hol, nor opium, nor any of the dangerous drugs which enter so largely into many advertised "compounds," recommended for the cure of invalid women. They will not Jteate craving for stimulants. 'A t 'V: i ? ;A i This Space is reserved for B. M STRONG'S I Holiday ad. Keep your eye it as it will be full of Pleasant Surprises. Wn.
