The respective strength of the Turner
and Allen factions of the republican
party, now at war with each other in
the state legislature, was never harder
to gauge than at the present time. In
stead of a ballot determining their
actual strength, it has left matters in
such shape that results obtained then
are worthless now.

and means committee, and the second
place on' enrolled bills and fishing.
Then' he gives McGinn, Hirsch 's chief

Cogswell, who received the democratic
complimentary vote against him, a
chairmanship of high standing in the
committee on federal relations. An

Death of Ex-President Hayes.
culture. Speaker Keady's selections

Ex-President Hayes died at his home
in ' Fremont, Ohio, at 11 o'clock last
night. He was seized with a cold in
Columbus last Saturday, while driving
to the Union depot, he asked for stimu
lants. This so revived him that he in
sisted on returning home, saying : "I
would rather die in Spiegel Grove than
live any where else." After boarding the
train he was seized with violent pains in
his chest, which lasted until after his
return home. He was treated for angina
prectoria, and while relieved of distress,
his heart never recovered its vigor
and his life was suddenly termin
ated by paralysis of the heart. While
lying in his room he frequently referred
to be visit he made to his wife's grave
the preceding Sunday, and spoke of the
quiet beauty of the snow-covered scene.
He said he had almost wished he was
lying there. "And yet," he said "my
life has been exceptionably happy." His
last words were : "I know I am going
where Lucy is." They were spoken to
his family physician with the utmost
earnestness. He passed quietly and
painlessly away at 10:45 in the evening,
surrounded by members of his house

Representative Paxton has introduced
a measure changing labor day from the
first Saturday in June to the first Mon-V"1-December.
'
he sneaker has appointed as mem
bers of the joint committee for the state
of Oregon and Washington on Columbia
river legislation, Messrs. Myers of Mult
nomah, Coon of Wasco and Benton of
Clackamas.
Senator Brown of Morrow has intro
duced a joint resolution for a committee
of five on portage railroad at the dalles,
which was adopted. Also, to tax all

$2,000 to $5,000, two per cent.
House bill No. 306 was' returned by
the governor with his objections thereto.
This was a road bill appropriating $127,-
000 of the five per cent fund from sale
of lands. There is now in the treasury
the sum of $63,389. This was one of
the last acts of the 16th general assembly.-
Representative - Campbell's bill
amending the pilotage and towage act is
designed to put legislation on that sub
ject back where it was in 188S, before
the action of the legislature of the fol
lowing session. Mr. Campbell claims
that this will give the river a good ser
vice, which it does not now have, and
encourage foreign ships to come here.
He says it will do away with the con
ditions under which ships have had to
beat about the mouth of the Columbia
for three weeks, as was instanced by the
vessel recently towed off the Washington
const by the Willapa.
Portland now consumes 300,000 cords
of wood a year. The supply appears to
be inexhaustible. At present it is cut
so close to the water as to make much
hauling unnecessary, but as it recedes
it will be an easy matter to construct
flumes to convey the timber to the
streams.
MINING NEWS.
Another Strike in the Greenhorn Dis
trict Snow-slides, Etc.
Long Creek Eagle Corr. . ..
Ghanite, Dec. 29. There has been a
late strike of an excellent quality of high
grade ore. Andy Larson, who has been
running a crosscut tunnel for the' last
two winters, cut the ledge that he had
been in search of. Sample pieces that I
have seen equal the best ore that has yet
been found. It is identically the same
as that which Wm. Schuarr is getting
from the Polar Star. Larson is cer
tainly entitled to the discovery he has
made, for he has shown great' persever
ance and confidence in the prospect that
he has labored so faithfully to find
Men to work in the mines are in great
demand at present. In the spring this
demand will be far greater, as most of
the mine owners expect to work large
forces of hands.
A few days ago there occurred a tre
mendous snowslide on the eouth slope of
the mountains which caught three men
in its track and carried them a distance
of a few hundred feet. Fortunately
they saw the slide when it started but it
came with such great rapidity that they
were unable to get to a place of safety
and' were carried down the mountain
with the tons of snow, timber and rocks.
Two of the men were fortunately able to
extricate themselves with little exertion,
but the third man was completely bur
ied, with the exception of one hand.
with which he was able to attract atten
tion. He was taken out of the snow
without having sustained any injury.
Only the day. previous the mail carrier
was caught in the same manner, and as
the snowsHde was small in comparison
with the first named, he, 'also, - was for
tunate to come out without a mishap.
THe first mentioned parties were located
in the section of the mountains - where
snowslides often occur, so rather than
riek any serious accidents they con
cluded to abandon their claims for the
present and move to a safer place.
The single rail locomotive on exhibi
tion in Portland has been purchased by
Andrew Nelson of Umatilla county. The
inventor, Dr. Mahana now has in , view
the construction of a road between
Dallas and Salem. One is -wan ted, and
a bonus of $75,000 has been offered.
The length of the reserve made in the
Cascade mountains of Oregon for park
purposes is 234 miles. The area is 7,020
equare miles,embracing 44,492,800 acres.
The park reservations proper Include
Mount Hood and its eurronndings, and
the rugged mountains and lakes adja

A bill has been introduced in congress
for the enlargement of the Erie canal,
with a view to its conversion into a
waterway large enough to admit vessels
of consideruble size. It is to be 20 feet
deep. The cost will be one hundred and
fifty millions of dollars. This is a grand
project, and would be of immense bene
fits to the great west. . It would make
ports of entry for foreign commerce at
all the different harbors along the lakes,
extending westward 1,100 miles bevond

Let's reason together. Here's a firm,
one of the largest the country over the
world over; it has grown, step by step,
through the years to greatness, and it
sells patent medicines ! ugh ! "That's
enough!" Wait a little. This firm,
pays the newspapers good money (ex
pensive work, this advertising!) to tell
the people that they have faith in what
they eell, so much faith that if they can't
benefit or cure they don't want your
money. Their guarantee is not indefi
nite and relative, but definite and abso
lute if the medicine doesn't help your,
money is "on call." Suppose every sick
man and every feeble woman tried these
medicines and found' them worthless,
who would be the loser, you or they?
The medicines -are Dr. Pierce's "Golden
Medical Discovery," for blood diseases,
and his "Favorite Prescription," for

ward health, they cost $1.00 a bottle
