Interesting Letters to Parents and friends. A large number of letters arrived from oar boys in the Philippines during the put few days so many, in fact, that to publish a fractional part of them wonld 11 np more space than we could afford pice. The tallowing area few extracts speak- OM.g at the trip from Honolulu to the Philippines: iFratn Honolulu to the Ladrones, the rip was without accident. The only usement being tbe target practice of hego traers on the Charleston, who dis- (pSayed excellent marksmanship, ehoot- aog at barrel at half a mile range, hit Aing itjiearly every time. 33ie expedition reached the Ladronea at 4 o'clock on tbe morning ot July 20th, ad the Charleston eteamed into Guam fcarbor firing eleven shots at the fort, artrleh is an antivuated etracture built fin 1818. The governor-general did not know war bad been declared, and thought the Bring was a salute from a friendly 6h:p. lie would have returned the salute but could not find powder with which to do eo. On the 21st he and his staff came on board tbe Charleston and were made prisouers of war. Tbe garrison consist ed of IUS soldiers, and they were taken on board the transports to Cayite. From the Ladrones to the Philippines the trip was without incident. On June 29th the expedition waa met by the cruiser Baltimore, which led tbe way into Manila Harbor on the 30th. After arriving at Cavite the soldiers were kept on board the transports, and conld see the engagements between the Spaniards and the ineurgents about Manila. Both Mr. Lemison and Mr. Ballard, from whom letters have been received, spoke of being anxious to get into active service, and said that, sentiment pre vailed among the Oregon troops. They speak of being well treated and com fortably clothed, having received brown duck uniforms, which were much more comfortable than the regular blue uni forms of the army. On the way from Honolulu to Cavite, the food supply ran pietty ehort, and they were allowed on ly two meals a day the latter part of the journey. On arriving at Cavite, how ever, they were well supplied and were given their regular rations. Native Philippines came out in boats every day with fruit and vegetables for sale. The boys are anxious to hear from home, and their friends desiring to write are requested to address them in care of Capt. H. L. Wells, Co. L, Second Ore gon Volunteers. Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers. The delinqent taxes of Wasco county, as shown on the rolls now in tbe hands of the sheriff are $60,000, an amount al most equal to tbe indebtedness of the county. Every citizen will doubtless admit that this state of affairs should not exist, and that all taxes should be collected. On account of hard times in the past the county court has shown leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency has reached the limit, and the court cannot wait longer on delinquents to make settlements. For this reason a warrant has been attached to each de linquent roll commanding the sheriff to collect all taxes by seizure and sale of property. With a bountiful crop now in sight, there can no longer be any rea sonable excuse for tbe non-payment of taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to comply with the terms of the warrants attached to the tax rolls for the collec tion thereof, and has no option in the matter. Delinquent taxpayers can. save the cost of seizure an 1 sale of property by settling their taxes at once. Robert Kekly, Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco County. Dated, August 4, 1898. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D. "Was taken with a bad cold which settled on my lungs; congh set in and finally termin ated in Consumption.

SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York. About one month ago my child, which is fifteen months old, had an attack ct diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. 1 gave it such remedies as are usually given in each cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a physician and it was under his care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for about ten days and was having about twenty-five operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that un less it soon obtained relief it would not live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended, and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a chance for theetter ; by its continued use a complete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy. C. L. Boggs, Stumptown, Gilmer Co., W. Var For sale by Blakeley & Houghton. Our baby has been continually troub-r led with colic and cholera infantum since his birth, and all that we could do tor him did not Bcem to give more than temporary relief, until we tried Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
