We have been informed more than
once that certain wire working politic-
.ions in Sherman county are laying plana
for the nomination of Hon. E. O. Mc
Coy for the joint senatorship of Wasco,
Sherman and Gilliam counties. The
report of course may not be true. It is
hard to conceive that it can be, but the
bare possibility of such an rent ought
to be sufficient to wake np'the recollec
tions of the Sherman county farmers to
the fact that to EO. McCoy, more than
to any man living, they owe it that their
county is still shut up to the tender
"mercies of the railroad company as re
gards transportation connection with
Portland and the lower river. If Sher
.man county republicans are so lost to.
their own interests as to put up Mr.
McCoy they will have to do the voting
to elect him, for Wasco county will cer
tainly give them no help. Gentlemen
electors of Sherman county, the Chroiclk
gives you this as a pointer to which you
will do 'well to take heed."" The nomi
nation of Mr. McCoy will only prove
that you deserve to remain in the
clutches of the railroad company till the
crack of doom. The Chronicij: makes
this statement without the shadow of
- a personal feeling toward Mr. McCoy".
It is a matter of deep regret with this
Journal that a eolem sense of duty com
pells it to condemn the official record of
a man whose private and social life has
deservedly won him many warm per
sonal friends. As a servant of the peo
ple Mr. McCoy has been weighed in the
balance and found wanting.
The bullion value of the United States
"silver dollar is today worth" sixty-nine
cents the lowest point, we believe, it has
" ever reached. The value of silver has
always been fluctuating and unstable.
.This is. history not theory. By the law
of Menes, King of Egypt the value of
gold was fixed at two and one-half times
that of silver. In the times of Solomon
it was so abundant as to accounted as
nothing, and in Ecbatana the. tiles on
- the roof of temples were of solid silver.
In the fifth century the ratio of gold
- was six to eight times that of silver. In
Greece in Plato's time it was ten to one.
"During the middle ages and down to the
-sixteenth century the ratio was ten to
"thirteen to one. The discovery of silver
' mines brought down the ratio to sixteen
"to one and since 1873 the product of
--silver has doubled and the actual ratio of
silver is now only twenty-two tol of gold.
Throw open our mints to free coinage
and what with our own annual product
and the absorption of the world's sur
plus silver will descend still' lower
till the country is reduced to an absolute
silver basis and every dollar of gold
driven out of it.

It is said there is something like $70,
000 yet remaining of the last appropria
tion for the Cascade Locks. Now the
proper plan for spending that sum, iu a
way that will do the most good to the
railroad company is to allow an army
of dude clerks to draw as much
' of it as possible until the high water
comes in the summer and then ..devote
what is left to pumping the water out of
the canal. The . Chronicle offers this
suggestion to the "Majah." - Now eee if
he does not adopt it.
He Locutes Oil Wells in His Dreams.

bring out the power of the .hazel rod.
Some months ago Cunningham & Co.
were drilling a well on the farm of Ira
Stauffer. OHh night while the well was
drilling Casper Keichner, a crippled jew
eler of Zelienople, dreamed that the well
was dry, and in the same vision he saw
sjiot on the farm of John Shnver,
near the btuutter farm, whore a well
was flowing 1,000 barrels per day.
Keichner related his dream to Cun
ningham '& Co.,but a smile was all he
got for his trouble. .When the well on
the Stanffer farm was completed it was
a first class duster. In their adversity
the owners of the well went to Keichner
and asked him to shoiw them the spot on
the shnver farm where in his dream ha
had seen the coveted 1,000 barrel well.
He accompanied them to the place and
a well was started on the spot. A few
weeks ago-the pay streak was reached,
tne well actually. flowed i,uuu barrels a
day and the place is the richest oil farm
in Butler connty today. Pittsburg Cor.

Why do the single tax fiends persist in
saying that the single tax signifies a tax
on land values when it is no such thing;?
. Why not be manly about it and call it
- by its right name Confiscation of land
values, for that is what it is, and they
Know it.

A Woman's Strange Bequest.
A very aged lady, Mme. Guzman, who
died on the 80th of June last in Pan,
was deeply interested, especially during
her last years, in the descriptions of the
planet -Mars and the theoretical possi
bility of communication between our
planet and the neighbor worlds. Further
more, expressing in her will . a desire
peculiarly -astronomical, she made the
following legacy:
A prize of 100,000 francs is bequeathed
to the Institute of France (science sec
tion) for the person, no matter of what
nationality, who shall discover within
ten years from the present time a means
of communicating with a star (planet or
otherwise) and of .receiving a reply.
The testatrix nas especially in view
the planet Mars, npon which the atten
tion and ' investigation of savants has
been directed already. If the Institute
of France does not accept the legacy it
will pass to the Institute of Milan, and
in case of a new refusal to the Institute
of New York. Opr. New York Herald.
