JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge says : "1 wish to deal jairly and
honorably with an, and when l una an
article that will do what it is recom
mended to do, I am not ashamed to say
bo. I am acquainted with Dr. Vander
pool (having been treated by him for
cancer), and have used his blood medi
cine, known as the S. B. Headache and
Liver Cure, and while I am 75 years old,
and have used many pills and other
remedies for the blood, liver and kid
neys, 1 must say that for a kidney tonic
in Brights disease, and as an alterative
for e blood, or to correct the action of
the"tomach and bowels, it is a very su
perior remedy, and beats anything I
ever tried. " J. B. Nelson,

WOOL GROWERS WERE INSULTED.
The Profits on Wool Too Higb, in the
Estimation of Timothy.
MOKE THAN THEY AKK WORTHY OF
Heaping up Fortunes Because of Spe
cial Privileges to Tax Tbelr
Neighbors.
Gbeat Falls, Mont., Oct. 24. The
Great Falls Tribune, owned by Timothy
E. Collins, the democratic candidate for
governor, comes out with an editorial
which has caused a sensation and is
likely to prevent Collins receiving the
vote of nbout every wool grower in Mon
tana. It eays : "Even if the removal
of the tariff should reduce the price to
eleven cents, the price paid across the
line in Canada, sheepmen would still
make a large profit." It casts a reflec
tion on the sheepman, saying that he
soon heaps up a fortune, not because he
is especially clever as a business man or
because of his good methods or intelli
gence, but because of his privilege to
tax his neighbor, under the authority of
the government. Furthermore, the
article says they would make all "they
are entitled to" without protection
Many of the first business men of Great
Falls got a start in the wool business
and they, as' well as tfie sheepmen, de
nounce the article in scathing terms,
without, regard to party. They regard
it as an insult, since this is the largest
wool market in the state, 4,000,000
pounds having been shipped from here
this season?
FAIBVIEW LETTER.
A Region Kick In Resources,
and
Adapted for Settlement.
Special to The Chronicle.
Faibview, Wasco Co., Oct. 22. As all
settlements of Wasco county are invited
to representation in The Chboxicle,
perhaps a few lines from this might
in the future bear some good results.
This' location is commonly known as
Dutch Flat. I-t is situated from seven
to fourteen miles southwest of The
Dalles, and has an elevation of from
1,500 to 1,800 feet above The Dalles, or
1,660 to 1,960 feet above tide water,
with an area of 15,000 acres susceptible
to cultivation producing grain of all
kinds of the best quality. Timothy,
red clover and alfalfa do well and vege
tables of all description, and for corn I
do not think.it can be beat in the state,
yellow and white dent, King Philip and
all kinds of sweet or sugar corn, and
fruit of every kind. I venture to say,
without . fear of contradiction, that I
have seen the largest German and Hun
garian pruneS here this season that I
have ever seen in the state, and their
appearance and fla'vor were nothing
short of delicious. The samples which
I send you with this are fair average
samples of our blue Pearmain and
Gravenstein apples, grown by my neigh
bors Messrs. Jones and Nelson. I think
that the moderation of the summer cli
mate during the fruit season has a great
deal to do with giving them the fine
flavor. As for grapes this region cannot
be be beaten., The population of this
settlement , is, all told,, sixty ne souls,
but we have quite a settlement one and
a half to four miles west with about the
same population, both well provided for
a school, and would say to those looking
for a home, you can do no better than to
come up, here and locate, as there are a
number of good places yet to be taken
up. Wood and water are more conven
ient than in any locality in . Wasco
county, and we get a greater amount of
rain fall than any other part of the
country. There was sufficient rain here
two or three weeks ago to start the
plough, and in fact some have already
sown and their grain is up and growing.
We are so located that all the showers
which meet and scatter in the mount
ains south and west of us always send a
portion to us. Lumber for . building is
plentiful. . Five to eight miles to a good
saw -mill, and if we ever get an open
river there will not be an acre of vacant
land in this region long, being so close
to the market, the soil of such fine qual
ity and the temperature of the climate
so delightful and healthy. This . section
in the near future will send to the , mar
kets the" finest fruits in Warpo ennntv.
,
as it has already done in the line of hay
and wheat. Mr. W. w. Ubist told me
this moraine that his wheat weighed at
the Diamond mills the highest per
bushel of any wheat that had arrived at
the mill, and it must bave been good, as
he got the top price of the market,
sixty-four cents, and ft also gained one
per cent, in weight over the average.

ISetting on the Result.
A New York dispatch eays the betting
on the result of the election is unusually
backward this year. In former cam
paigns a few weeks before the election
large sums of money were wagered and
the betting was" hot and interesting.
This year there have been only a few
really large bets. At present the betting
on the general results is even, neither
side appearing confident enough to give
odds. There have been a few bets, how
ever, where the odds were slightly in
favor of Cleveland. Last Thursday Alex
Ogilvie, a racing man, bet $5,000 even
on Harrison. The other end of the bet
was taken by a Philadelphia syndicate.
Ogilvie is now offering a bet from $1,000
to $5,000 that Harrison will have a ma
jority of at least 50 electoral votes.
"Buck," the well-known " Kentucky
horse-breeder, bet $2,500 to $2,200 Thurs
day, at the St. James hotel, that Cleve
land would carry New York. Diss ton,
the wealthy Philadelphia saw manufac
turer, is said to have $10,000 in the
hands of a New York friend to be placed
on Harrison when the proper time ar
rives. "
Pronounced Insane.
Victobia, B. C. Captain Delaveron of
the Russian ship Zadiakias, who has
been making seizures of sealers, is said
to have been pronounced insane by the
governor of Bering island. He is "also
said to have been discharged from the
Russian navy. ' Many sealing men wel
comed this information as throwing a
flood of light upon the situation, and
others are inclined to be skeptical.
They say that finding its position unten
able, the Russian government has ig
nominously shifted tfie blame to the
captain's shoulders and pronounced him
insane to avoid international difficulty.
Upon one point both parties agree, that
the information from the governor of
Bering island being true, the government
of the czar cannot avoid making restitu
tion in full to the sealers.
I The Chicago Postofflce.
I Chicago, Oct. 24. Postmaster-Gen.
Wannamaker was in the city Saturday
and said : "My present conviction is
that I have seen nothing in Chicago that
is so fay from being up to the proper
level, in view of the progress Chicago
has made in other directions, than the
Chicago postoffice." - Then Mr. Wanna
maker explained. He said bhe appro
priation was not sufficient, and he was
going to work with all his energy to get
a larger force of carriers in view of the
rush next year. He then held a levee,
and all the carriers crowded forward for
the honor of a band-clash from their
superior officer.
A Panama Muddle.
New Yobk, Oct. 24. The Pacific Mail
steamship company, after February
1893, will discontinue relations with the
Panama railroad for transferring traffic
across the isthmus. The two companies
have fallen out and cannot agree on a
new contract. The steamship company
will find a new interoceanlc route and
indications are that it has already
reached a decision. Parties connected
with the Pacific Mail company are tak
ing active part in the new interoceanic
railroad in Honduras, or rather the re
vival of an old charter that was obtained
many years ago.. ,
Registering Tramps.
A Boise City dispatch eays : ' Don
Doctors has been arrested in Pocatello
charged with1 illegar registration. The
prosecution is being pushed by the' re
publicans, who claim that Doctors is a
tramp ; . that he was ' induced by .. the
democrats to register, and that the
democrats have a hundred of the same
kind there whom they -will endeavor to
vote.

Ripabi, Oct. 24. Nick" Chambers, a
Union Pacific brakeman, ' was run over
by a freight train and instantly killed at
mis piace yesieraay morning, xne ac
cident was similar to the one which
happened en the Northern Pacific in
Spokane several weeks ago. Chambers
was helping the others of the train crew
in switching some loaded cars at 5 :10 a.
m., and ran along the track in advance
of the train as it was being backed out of
a siding, for the purpose of throwing a
switch. As he approached the switch
his foot caught between the rail proper
and the guide rail which is usually
placed in such places. He fell upon his
face lengthwise alone tlio rail and be
fore he could move from his perilous
position the train was upon him. ' The

along his leg the body was pushed off

prostrate man, but could not stop the
train in time to save him and by the
time he reached him death had relieved -

A Prise Winner.
Fobt Shebhan, Oct. 24. At the com
petitive drill between enlisted men at
Fort Sheridan, Private Hill of this fort
secured first piace on an army team.
He stood third on he . army carbine,
team, winning a handsome gold medal.

and army gold medals, valued at (200.
and the Chicago Times gold medal, val
ued at $50, for the best two days' skirm
ish firing record, which he won by a
Bcore of 236. He made 151 points in one
run, putting twenty out of thirty: hits
on the lying down figure. His youthful
appearance and excellent shooting won
the admiration of all who were present.
Private Hill may well feel proud of his
record as a markesman in the army, and
Troop G feels honored in having in its
ranks two men who have captured the
department gold medal, First Sergeant
Holtman having it last year, and also
one of the silver medals of the army
team.
The Nei Perce Reserve.
Review. The time is near at hand
when the Nz Perce reservation will be
thrown open to settlement, and already
a feeling of inci eased prosperity per
vades the country adjacent to that vast
reserve. i.aking out the lands allotted
to the Indians, there yet remain 600,000
acres unclaimed; Of this 500,000 acres
are of the finest agricultural lands,
equaling in fertility the famous Potlatch
country, while the remaining 100,000
afford excellent range. Although there
are millions of acres of unoccupied lands
in the United States, yet there are com
paratively few tracts of such vast extent
and such desirability remaining, and it
is fair to presume that this reservation
will be rapidly taken by settlers anx
ious and able to improve the lands they -acquire.
