' a Uver m the Bridge creek country some
flock masters lost a few sheep during the
- early part of last month from, what ap-
Sjared to be a dietetic ailment. Mr.
obson is of the opinion that they were
incapable of digesting the feed, they re
ceived at that time, so much so at any
rate that they were unahle to- assimilate
a sufficient amount of nutriment from it
to maintain a healthv condition of the '
system and at the same time provide
nourishment for their unborn offspring.
As soon as the animals were grazed on
voung grass the trouble at once ceased.
Only about 300 head in all died, and, as
Mr. Dobsyn thinks, the trouble was due
doabtlesa to a derangement of the diges
tive organs. Prineville News.

"Would you
Wquld you sell yourself for a drink, hoys.
A drink from the poisonous, cup? .
For a taste of the gleaming wine, boys.
Woald you yield your manhood up?
Would you bind yourselves with a chain, boys.

Would you bolt your prison doors, boys.
Preventing escape at last?
Would you wreck your heuilth, boys.
Those blessings God has given ?
Would you ruin your lives, boys.

Would you dig with your own hands your grave,

Would you die a besotted wretch, boys,
In poverty, sorrow and sin?
Ah, no! a thousand times no, boys,

Annual Meettnfr.
The annual meeting of the W. C. T. U.
was held in the free reading room on
Friday, the 1st of May, at 3 :00 o'clock.
Election of officers resulted as follows:
President, Mrs. Smith French ; Vice
Presidents, Mrs, A. R. Roscoe, Mrs.
Johns, Mrs Donnell, Mrs. J. D. Lee and
Miss Mary Frazier ; Recording Secretary;
Mrs. C. D. Doane ; Corresponding Secre
tary, Mrs. Dan French ; Treasurer, Mrs.
Leslie Butler.
The work of the year has been pushed
quietly, presistently and successfully.
The membership has increased, the
Union is growing in interest. The mem
bers are deeply, interested in .all the
branches of work.. The tenth , national
temperance convention will be held July
15, 1891, at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. -In
every aspect of this many-sided
subject., especially its. moral, political
and educational bearings the drink prob
lem is recognized as of first magnitude.
And temperance sentiment receives a
respectable recognition from, all classes
of society now. Possibly , there is more
opposition, but .'also there, are more
praying and j. working for the cause
more than ever "before.
, New, perils and new . phases , of the
question makes it necessary for the
friends of the cause to take council to
gether againstthiq special agent of the
devil. All work' beeomes more effective
by the stimulus of personal contact and
consultation with each, other. ' ..
The World's W. C. T. U. petition is
being circulated the .wide .1 world . over.
It is, , the. plea of. . suffering;, . sobbing
womanhood for the ' protection ' of her
home and the salvation of her. sons, and
daughters ; it is a union of hearts until
it will be said; '0 woman, great is thy
faith ; be it unto thee as thou wilt."
A Good Bargain.
At a temperance meeting where sev
eral related their experiences, a humor
ous Irishman who spoke was acknow
ledged. to. be the chief speaker. .He had
a pair of fine new boots. Said he : "A
week after I signed the pledge I . met an
old friend, and he says, . 'Them's a .fine
pair of hoots you have on.' 'They are,'
says I, 'and by the same token 'twas the
saloon-keeper who gave them to me.'
" ?That was generous of him,' isavs he.
" 'It was,' says I, 'but I made a bar
gain with him. . He was to keep his
drink and I was to keep my money. My
money bought me these "fine boots. ' I
got the best of the bargain and I'm going
to stick to it.' " ,
Boys, will you do the same? Will you
keep your money, and invest in some
thing .else than drink? Youth's Tem
perance Banner.
Protection.
Ours is a famous country for protection .
There is the tariff to protect industry,
while the patent laws are a safeguard to
invention. There are the land grants for
railroads, subsidies for steamship com
panies, charters for corpopations. In
many of the states we have societies for
the prevention of ' i-ruerty to animals,
and in nearly all, laws for the protection
of game. Busy with all these gentle,
wise and patriotic measures, there is one
place our brothers have forgotten ade
quately to protect, and that is Home.
By Frances E. Willard.
. , The Woman's. Appeal, lately addressed
by the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union .through its president, Miss
Frances Willard, to the "brewers, distill
ers, dealers, and saloon-keepers was in
the highest degree appropriate. The fol
lowing is its closing paragraph : .. . .
. 'Brothers, the end is near; the doom
of the liquor .traffic is sealed ; the clock
of God has struck the hour of the peo
ple's deliverance. You know this as
well as rwe ,-do ;. you confess it. in your
secret counsels. Will you not come
with us in the great fight for a clear
brain and a proiected home.?. fVVill , you
not, of f ree choice, do that which must
ere long be done under compulsion of
the vox . populi, which -echoes the vox
Deit For this we earnestly ask, and for
this we fervently pray." v. i i ;
. "Somewhere beneath the vaulted sk v,
Somewhere beneath the slumbering' sod,
W rath broods her Slumbers ere thev flv,
Pale Justice steels her chastening rod":
W hen wealth and power have had their hour,
omes, for the weak, the hour of id."
' People living in this county have of
late been talking of petitioning the next
legislature to make an appropriation for
putting in fish ladders at the Klickitat
falls. They say ff this was done, salmon
and other species of food fish would come
up the streams in this valley, in great
numbers. Parties who have" a knowl
edge of "such matters claim that the . ap
propriation would be. light. . This it
seems would be at least one good turn
which ; the legislature - might do for
Klickitat.. It would be well to. remem
ber that Klickitat county is -not along
the Columbia river, but the river forms
its boundary line. Qoldendale SentineU

Table Talk.
The Irony of Fate.
. Now iu the world, as in a school.
We see how Fate may change and shift:
The prize he sometimes with a fool.
The race not always to the swift,. '
The strong may yield the good' may fall,
The rich man be a vulgar down," .
The knave be lifted over all,
The poor cast pitilessly down.

The Olympia ' '.Tribune''. thinks that it
would be a good idea for- the United
States to . compel all foreigners who
have, been -in; this country for six
months iwithonti-declaring their inten
tion to become citizens, to get out.
The eccentric wall-steet operator,
Mrs. Hetty Green, . who is popularly

$40,000,000, has a dauger now about

whonv Mrs. Green declares, she will
leave the bulk of her fortune.
None of the houses in which Talley

Philadelphia, are now standing. -He

was entirely deprived of any income
from France while here, and it is well
known that he. was .quite poor.
Chicago has a news-society.' ; It - is
called the Rational Dress Reform - soci
ety. The members, who are prominent
society, ladies, aim to introduce new
dress combinations, the rationality of
which consists of 'brevity of shirt, dual
ity of underdress and shortness of up
per drapery. None of. the members
nave ventured to appear in public in
the combination.
A newspaper is always printed in a
rush. Thera is always something in it
that should have been left out; some
thing left out that should have gone
in ; it is at times too quick to judge,
and often too quick to act; but with
all its faults and shortcomings, there
is more education in a bright, newsy
paper than there is .in a 'novel. You
will find that the brightest boy on prac
tical, sensible, everyday questions it
the boy who ' prefers newspapers or
novels. .
When a man gets in trouble it often
takes a round sum to square matters.
Oregon has diverse resources which
should be developed.
