It is said that Sheriff Hamilton of
Union county, Ilinshaw of linker, nnd
other sheriffs in eastern Oregon mo
planning a tall for a slioiiflV conven
tion to consist of tho sherilfs of east
ern Oregon, the object of which is to
organize and perfect plans to co-operate
with one another for the detection
and capture of horse thieves and oth
er criminals. A similar organization
exists in Iowa and is said to bo more
offectivo than the present plan of
each man paddling his own canoe,
says an exchange.
Wo received a call last Friday from
n pilgrim printer who has tramped all

und knew of thoni setting firo a dis
tauoo of thiity uiiloa in one day for
the purpose of oormling tho deer for
Otto great slaughter. Tho proper
thing to do when an Indian is seen
firing tho forot is to put a bullet
through him. This smoky atmosphere
nnd the destruction of our game is hid
enough, but to have the rod devils de

Methodists of Portland liavu de
clared their intention to nreeent to

There is tall: of incorjioniting ouo
of the numerous quartz ledges in this
vicinity and throwing tho stock upon
the market. Should this lie done, if
tho capital stock is not put at too
high a figure, this might bo the moons
of awakening a fair sized mining in
terest in this section. Fifty thouwind
shares at one dollar each could ityidily
bo disposed of, and that amount of
capital would Ihj sufficient to do con
siderable development work and get
maohinery for working a mine.

For tho past two vcars tho daily
press of this city havu been record
ing the many strange and wonder
ful cures performed by Dih. Damn
at 235 Fifth street. From curiosity
to learn something of tho doctors
and their method ol treatment, wo
concluded to visit their parlors.
We found their rooms tilled with
patients Millering fiom almost ev
ery conceivable furm of discus , and
much to ou: s..lisl'a turn, Uhi:i in
terrogating a num.ior of ttioso pres
ent, their answer was anatnmniis
that the doctors V u rapidly dis
sipating their ailmciiU. A utiiii er
of person who had not yet seen tho
doctors, were anxiously awaiting
thuir turn. An old man, just 111 liv
ed in the city that morning from
east of tho mountains, was speak
ing of the hard timu ho had to Hud
the ollice. At last, said the old
man, 1 enquired of a small boy on
the street where 2!55 Fifth street
was. Tho kid spoke up and bright
ly answered: "Oh I vou want to
sec tho Drs. Darrin, do you? 1
know whoro it if. The other day
thoy cured my ma, who has been
lame tw.j years' with Hhotiinatistii."
As tho old man had finished his
story, tho doctor came into the
room with a young man whom bo
introduced as William F. ILisen
borg, residing at tho southwest cor
ner of Twelfth and Washington
streets, recently from California,
and who had just been successfully
operated on for strabismus. His
eyo had been badly crossed since a
child, and in onu short, painless op
eration tho evo was perfectly
straightened. The reporter gather
ed several names of piuties cured,
who had no hesitation in giving
their reference.
Mr. J. U. Cunningham, of Wap
iniUi, Or., was cured homo days ago
of almost total (leul'iios, in a fuw
treatments, which was considered
by himself and friends almost a
iniracle.
Judge lvalahaii, of Kahuna, V.
T., hud four largo tumors removed
from his ear, where they had baaii
glowing for Iwenly-llvo youiri, and
was very high in praise of the doc
tors. Among the niot enthusiastic
was Dr. McDowell, of this city, who
was relieved of muscular pi ot ra
