Not a Red Cent Lost,
Canyon City, Feb. 2. "00.
KniToit Nnvs: Will you allow
me a short space in your paper to
answer a communication appearing
in the Harney Items of Jan. S, "JO,
in which the word "Devino" is used
in such a manner that nt long
range ono would think it was a do
vino revelation, but at short range
it lias tho appearance of being con
ceived in a muddled brain, and
born in tho sanctum sanctorium of
tho Harney Items when the editor
was out. Tho writer of tho scurril
ous article presumes tho taxpayers
of Harnoy county do not know that
they hnvo lost S'J.OOO in tho settle
ment with Grant county, and ho
has been told that it is a fact that
Judge Maxcv of Grant told his
friends that ho would place tho fig
ures at $20,000 and if necossary
would como down to $10,000. To
this I will say that every word is
false from tho beginning to tho cud.
A full statement of the settlement
between Grant and Harney coun
ties is on file in the county clerks
ollice in Harney county, and any
taxpayer in Harney county can ex
amine for themselves and will seo
at once that an honorable man und
faithful ollicor has been slandered
through thu stupidity of a crank.
The settlement was made upon tho
statemout of Win. Miller of the in
debtedness of Grant county uikiii
which Grant county obtained a
judgment against Litko county in
tho .Supreme Court of this statu and
is undoubtedly as correct a state
incut of tho indebtedness of Grant
county as could bo made
I make this statement in justico
to Judge Shields, knowing the
charges against him to bo falso and
unjust and should have done so
sooner, hut circumstances over
which I had no control prevented
me from doing to.

On tho 20th tilt, a dwelling house
belonging to W. II. Johnson t sons
formerly owned by Levi Hickard,

Supposition is that fire started by
sparks from the stove jrijMJ lighting
on the roof. Frank Templeton who
had possession of the house at the
time the fire occurred in company
with six other men had just finish
ed eating breakfast. They discov
ered the fire but the wind was blow
ing so hard that they could not get
tho fire under control. The loss is
estimated at eight or nine hundred
dollars; insurance on house was
f .")0.C0; bedding, clothing and fur
niture !f-l.riO.OO; nil of the furniture,
clothing, bedding, etc.. in the lower
story and kitchen was saved. The
fire had got under too good head
way to save many things from tho
upper story; the lo.ss in budding
and clothing would probablv
amount to $lf)0.00.

Joint Senator Ai;alii.
Under this head the Ilurnuy
Items hits thu nuil in about thu
right jilaco and says soiuething
wliioh tho Ni:ws endorses for tho
truth nnd justice therein contain
ed, to-wit:
After careful rcllcction wo aio
unablo to see an)' reason whatever
why Morrow county Bliould bu en
titled to the joint senator for this
senatorial district. When wo re
member that Morrow county has
a representative, and that Grant
and Harnoy only havo a joint rop
ropoututivc, it occurs to us that if
CJ runt and Harney would divide
tho joint senator and joint topic
scntative, each county taking one,
thou in that caso all three of I lie
counties in this senatorial district
would each havo a member in tho
Legislature. Hut in case Morrow
county should taku the joint seua
tor, cither Grunt or JIaruuy must
bo entirely without a member.
Wo cannot seo by what manner of
reasoning Morrow county can pos
sibly lay claim to the favors asked
for. The fair way out of this lit
tle matter is to fix it up so each
county can have a member.

AN OPEN LETTER.
From Professor J. P. Looncy, Princi
pal of Fulton Public School, In
Favor of Drs. Dartln.
UH. n.lliltl.N' IIAVB A IIKANCIt OI'KIOK
IN TACOMA.
OrffimUti.
Kdilor Oreconinn Dear Sir: I
am not in tho habit of pulliing ad
vertising doctors, but I uauuot let
this oportunily pass without men
tion, in justico "to the nllliotod ns
well as Dr. Darrin. Tho doctor has
cured me of a trouhlcsoino catarrh
and bronchitis of soven yonrs Stand
ing, by uleetricity nnd mudicino.
The euro is perf-ict and permanent.
1 cheerfully recommend' hi treat
ment, and will answer nil Mter
addressed to mo at Portland.
Jan. 22, IK). J. l LOONKf.
There is something nlut tfv
success Drs. Darrin are nutting
with which is truly hard In credit,
yet we havo it from poraona w hoso
veracity we cannot doubt, that their
cures uro remarkable. The nlntvo
case is peculiarly striking. Profes
sor I.ooney is a man of undoubted
integrity and is well known through
out tho" state and nation Tho
above card to Drs. Darrin is osi
tive proof of tho unexampled suc
cess which attends their treatment.
It shows how radical as well ns un
expected, are many of their ouros,
and how chronic diseases of many
years duration nro umrhlo to resist
their skill, nnd is hut ono of tho
many cases whiuh tho doctors havo
undertaken, and is only ono of tho
scores of patients to whom the hnvo
restored health. I'liii author of tho
above statcniuutgJwQ liavo full as
surance in payh'ig,vaB actuated in
publishing thu junto by no other
motive than gratitude of Iuh euro
and a dt-siro to muko known tho
means to others m uufnrlunato us
himself. When wo rolled what 11
great boon is health when we con
sider that without it tho slightest
approach to happiness is impossible
that it is, in short, the greatest
earthly blessing can wo be other
wise tfian immeasurably surprised
to find any one who litis lost thin
great treasure, and yot hetdUito to
follow tho plainly defined path lead
ing to its recovery? To ucu n sick
man or woman neglect or refine to
visit Drs. Darrin, who may do him
or hur some good, and cannot do
harm, is equally as inexplicable 11
mystery. Try them, nt all events,
common sense would suggest. A
consultation will cost voti nothing.
The doctors could fill this pngo
with responsible curlillcates but
their fame is so wide spread it is
unnecessary. The doctors treat nil
chronic discuses nt their parlors in
the Washington building, corner
Washington and Fourth streets.
