A succession of sinking spells of increasing severity end depressing effect, followed by the remarkable manner iu which Mr. Payne rallied from these shock and the responses of the heart action to treatment gave a little temporary en couragement.

TOM RICHARDSON. Nr. Isnaa's Announcement. As Well as the Lumber -Good Work of Commercial Club. Far up in the high altitudes and ne-t-ling just below the crest of the Rogue River Mountain., where the tributaries of the Rogue and .iuille rivers find their sources, lies the beautiful, pictur esque, but isolated Eden valley with i'8 green bordered slopes and its innumera ble cool and crvstal mountain stream, threading their way toward the sea. their waters playfully spla.hing over pebbly beds studded with minute ( ar ticles of gold brought down from hidden ledge:; on the unexplored mountain sides, and from which source the hardv miner. who for vears has careful lv irtiarded the! point.

This slow march of progress and civilization has resulted in a colony of about forty settlers becoming established in this isolated region, at present only accessi ble by a pack trail, 30 miles through dense forests, to West Fork, the nearest Southern Pacific railroad station, or Camas Valley the nearest trading (oint and postoffice. Eden valley is situated on the border line between t. .w and Lurry counties in townships 3- and .1.1 South, Range 10 and 11 West, and is said to lie ah mi tea miles in length and from one to three miles in width. It is onlv about W miles southwest of Rosebnrg on an air line but would be direttiy tributary to Myrtle Point, were nine miles of trail or wagon road opened between the vallev pleted before this new mail route can be established and put into oeration. Mr Beetnl will therefore probably en deavor to secure some assistance from the connty court of Coos county and Mvrtle Point citezens conld well afford to contribute liberally toward the ex tension of the South Fork wagon road to Eden Valley as the trade of that secti am would all go to that place. Mr. Bestul is most favorably impressed with the Ede i Valley countrv. but says that the settlers there are eager for a government survey to enable them to secure titles to their holdings. He says thev ware much agitated when it was The regular meeting of the Roeeburg Commercial Club was h. Id in the Board of Trade rooma on Tuesday e euing Oct. 4, 1904. The meeting was called to or der by Pres. T. R. Sheridan and in the absence of Secretary F. (j Micelli, F. K. Alley waa chosen temporary secretary. President Sheridan announced that an opportunity for the Commercial Club to demonstrate its usefulness was now at hand, a proposition having just been received from Oklahoma parties through W. A. Burr for the establishment of a first class broom factory in this city and that only a very small bonus wat re quired the donation of a site and lum ber for a two story building 24x50 feet, together with foundation material, which was as far as the material is con cerned equivalent to about f 410. the lowest bid for lumber, that of the John son Lumber Co., of Myrtle Creek, being 1332.89, the foundation estimate being about f75. It was stated that A. Creason, a pnb lie spirited citizen had agreed to do i ate a desirable lot for the factory in Kinney addition adjoining the siding of the Sontbern Pacific railroad company. The question was then discussed bv everal members present, after which it was moved by Mr. Blakeley, and sec onded by J. H. Sykes, that a committee o! five be appointed by the chairman to visit the business men of town and get their signatures for the necessary money. Cpon the motion being duly carried, the chairman appointed as snch committee, Messrs M. F. Rice, F. W Woolley, J. H. Sykes, C. P. Barnard and I. S. West. The backers of this enterprise, who are now in Oklahoma, expect to invest about $10,000 in this enterprise. They propose not only to erect the building above specified but to make additions whenever the business demands en largement oi facilities. The plant is to he fully equipped with up-to-date ma chinery and appliances for turning out a first-class product. Thev now have about 50 tons of broomcorn readv for This and their Mr. James Inman, independent can didate for president of the United States gives notice to the pnblic via the press and otherwise, that his promised plat form will be out soon and be placed where it will be to the people's conven ience. This platform will be a revelation to the political world, in as much as it will be the best of its time. That which is the best of its time is ever ahead of its time, and that which is ahead of iu time becomes q noted more and more as time rolls on. It will be a platform that will elect its candidate without the rid or supervision of Wall Street, in as much as it is in tended lor all the people, whereas some opposition platforms are intended for the interest of platocracy. This plat form's candidate is truly one of indepen dence, and is as free to act as is the wind to blow or the ocean to move in its tide, whereas the old oppositions have their opinions manufactured for them. What can they do for tbe peo ple, poor sonis? What can they do with their hands tied by the Pharaohs of Wail Street before even they are nom inated" Yes, they are barrained with and most come under tbe y ke of pluto cracy's rale and be wbippel with cent per cent's greedy lash. And it will make little difference with the Pharaohs of Wall Street whether Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Parker is elected so long as they can use either as a figurehead. The Independent's platform will be one for humanity and will have merit for iu backing. We grow in knowledge as we go in time. B i lee offering this announcement to t! e press of tbe country, a sufficient number of copies will be printed so that they can be mailed to prominent men, including some officers of state, college professors, leading philosophers, and a few leading ministers.

T6e petition bears the signatures of 600 citizens re siding in various parts of the connty, the number being considerably in ex cess of the requisite ten per cent of the legal voters of the county as specified in the new law. Owing to the fact that the County Court does not meet in regular session again until the first Wednesday is No vember, Judge M. D. Thompson will of newwty call a special session of tbe court to grant the petitition. and the J udge has decided to convene hia court in special session Saturday, Oct. 8, to take action upon this important matter. According to the local option law, if the majoritv of the votes in the county are in favor of prohibition, that ma jority tffecU every precinct in the coun ty, notwithstanding that some precincts may have cast majority votes against prohibition. On the other hand, these anti-prohibition precincts are the only ones in which liquors could be sold if the county vote as a whole was in favor of anti-prohibition : in this case, those precincU which fail to return a majority anti vote would become prohibition. Owing to the fact that the local option measure was carried in this county by a i majority of about 700 at the general elec tion last June, no little concern or anxiety is felt by the liquor dealers and , anti-prohibition element in this county . regarding the outcome of he campaign j now being vigorously waged bv the pro- hibitionist; and moral element through- ont the county.

No one was living in the house, the same having been used by Peter Weaver as a pen for hia sheep. But until re cently the building had been occupied This is one of I.ane county's oldest landmarks removed. The caue4 of the fire is not known, but it is certainly to be hoped that destruction of tbe build ing was purelv accidental, lor none conld be so thoughtless as to destroy such living evidence of pioneer Oregon. The house was built by Elijah Briatow in the year 1846, who with his wife, Su san Bristow, came to Line county in the spring of lH4ti, coming up the valley with Wm. 1) 1 Is hi. Felix Scott and Eu gene Skinner, founder of the city of Eu gene. Going as far south as the pres ent location of Pleasant Hill, Elijah Bristow raised himself in the stirrups and exclaimed to bis companions, ' Tnere will I stake my claim, and I am going to name it Pleasant Hill." And to this day the name stands and the Brietows made it their home nntil death claimed them, leaving the deep impress of their pioneer spirit upon the locality. But the old house is gone, thereby re moving the last vestige of what was the fine forests of fir and spruce, while the largest body of Port Orford cedar re iii.nii ng iu the coast country is said to l.oi.ler on this valley. Several of the settlers have well im proved farms and are engaged quite extensively in the stock business, one man having 120 head of cattle, all of the settlers having obtained their start from mining or from stock driven in over the trail, their implements and supplies being Uken in by pack trains, doned owing to the strong opposition develoetl against the measure. Mr Itestu! says that Eden Valley is verv pro luctive and will affrd com fortable homes for a number of families, but that considerable snow falls there during the winter mouths. Should the proposed coast railroad be constructed, the region about this valley would no doubt soon be the scene of large lumber ing nd mining operations. LONG DISTANCE AWHEEL FOOT CUT OFF BY SAW.

The design for the Oregon Develop- j ment League letter heads to be psed by the commercial and industrial organisa tions holding membership in that body will be given to the printer Oetober 10th. Membership in this organization cosU each commercial body $5.00, and this entitles them to one thousand letter heads made local in every particular. No memberships can be accepted be tween October 10th and January 1st, 1905, as these letter heads will contain on the back the names and addresses of the corresponding officers of the several organizations and condensed statistics regarding Oregon as a state. The first order will be for fifty thousand letter heads, and all bodies not holding mem bership are urged to please remit 5.00 before October 10th. The officers of the Oregon Irrigation Association held a meeting in the rooms of the Portland Commercial Club todav and decided that they would send a large delegation to El Paso, Texas, to attend the convention in that citv, and invite the Congress to meet in 1905 in Portland.
