The Locks Contract.
To Be Repaired.
The county court proposes to order the
oad improved on this side of the free
ridge crossing the Des Chutes. It is
gratifying to learn that the county court
of Sherman county has authorized the
supervisors on those roads injured by
the waterspout including the free bridge
road, to employ labor in repairing them
and the court will meet on May 15th to
pay all expenses thereof. The expense
for repairs will cost Sherman county
several hundred dollars.
From the following clause in the con
tract between the United States and

forfeit considerable time and expense.

the approval of the contract, and must
be eo conducted that the contractor may
earn in carrying out the work prescribed
by the engineer officer in charge, each of
the amounts that may be appropriated
for this work, within onejyear from the.
date of approval of contract or within
one year from the date of the act ap
propriating each amount. In case the
contractor should so elect, he may be
permitted to proceed with the work in
accordance with a prescribed order to
any extent he may desire beyond the
amount at the time available, provided

ond the limit prescribed by law. Es-
imates can be made for such work, but

A KANGAROO COURT.
How They While Away the Time at the
County Jail.
Perhaps our readers would like to
know what is a "Kangaroo court."
There is one in this city in full blast,
and bas intermittent sessions whenever
a prisoner is landed behind the bars at
the county jail.
Today a Chinaman was arrested on a
charge of selling liquor to Indians and
as soon as the door was locked upon
him he was promptly re-arrested on the
inside by Sheriff Allison. He was
brought before the court in the person
of Judge Thomas and a venire of three
jurymen drawn. These were three
other prisoners in the jail. The de
fendant was represented by counsel,
and witnesses for and against the pris
oner was not lacking. After the evi
dence was all taken and the learned
speeches made, the jury retired and
brought in a verdict of guilty. The
court fined the prisoner $3, but as an
inventory of his possessions showed
them to be only $1, the court reversed
its own decision so as to cover the
amount. It was collected and the pris
oner released and his name put in the
box for the next venire.

est acreage ever before known. Stand

hill-sides can be seen in grand review,
farm after farm , as far as the eye can
reach, is covered with fields of waving
grain. The whole country is hopeful of
a bountiful harvest, made certain by the
late heavy rains. The largest farm is
that of Smith Bros., seven miles south
west of Arlington, consisting of 1,200
acres of as pretty grain as ever was seen.

Local Maxims.
The gardner is a vegetarian.

Give your girl an engagement ring and

Talking of patent medicines you
know the old prejudice. And the doc
tors some of them are between you and
us. They would like yon to think that
what's cured thousands won't cure you.
You'd believe in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure everything.
and so, between the experiments of doc
tors, and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only because
there's money in the "stuff," yon lose
faith in euerything. And you can't
always tell the prescription that cures
by what you read in the papers. So,
perhaps, there's no better way to sell a
remedy, than to tell the truth about it
and take the risk of its doing just what
it professes to do. That's what the
World's Dispensary Medical Association,
of Buffalo. N. Y., does with Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. If they
don't do what their makers say -they'll
do you get your money back.
