THE WEST IN THE WAR.
In the September Scribnei's,
Richard Harding Davis writes of the
Itough Riders' Fight at Guasimas."
was easy to tell which men
were used to hunting; lig game in the
west and which were not by the way
they made these rushes," says Mr.
Davis. "The eastern men broke at
the word, and ran for the cover they
were directed to lake like men trying
jto get out of the rain, and fell pant
ing on their faces, while the western
hunters and trappers slipped and
wriggled through the grass like
Indians; dodging from tree-trunk to
tree trunk, and from one bush to
another. They always fell into line
at the same time with the others, but
they had not exposed themselves
once while doing so."
As gradually the full story of the
war is unfolded, it becomes increas
ingly evident that the troops
of the west have carried off
the chief honors. They have borne
the brunt of the Cghting on land and
on sea. Dewey's invincible sailor3
were gathered largely from Pacific
coast seaports, and the same is true
of the crew of the battleship Oregon,
which took so distinguished a part in
the destruction of Cervera's squad
rDn. In the fierce fighting around
Santiago, western men distinguished
themselves by deeds of superb en
durance and daring. It was the regu
lars and the Rough Riders who
stormed the heights around the city,
and with a few exceptions these regu
lar soldiers were gathered from west
ern manhood recruited at the army
posts of the western plains and
mountains.
At Manila, too, western men
regulars and volunteers have borne
themselves with superb coolness and
daring. Oa the other hand, the east
ern troops have hardly been in the
severe figLting anywhere, and the
only case of regimental cowardice in
the war was that of the New; York
regiment of volunteers at Santiago
which ran to cover and refused to
obey orders to advance with the res?
of the arm.
The west has been maligned so
grievously in recent years that the
conspicuous heroism of its soldiers is
deeply gratifying to every western
man. Their glorious bearing, their
courage under fire, and their fortitude
under hardships and disease, afford
an effective reply to the abuse and
vilification , which many eastern
papers and speakers have directed
against this section of the Union.
Spokesman Review.
One of the minor blessings of
peace will be the letup of the war
literature. "When once the magaziue
editors nowadays get hold of what
they think is a popular demand they
Lave no mercy on us. Anything is
acceptable, provided it has some
connection with war. We have
articles and books on the Philippines,
Hawaii, Cuba and Porto Rico with
out number, popular histories of
Spain in all degrees of badness and
mediocrity, and even histories of
Spanish literature are not unaccept
able. No phase of the war escapes
being told over and over again in an
infinite variety of forms.
Only the other day William of
Germany was saying at Bismarck's
"bier that Bismarck was the "creator"
of the German Empire. Now here
he is again telling the ''woishipful
Burgomaster of Mayence" that it
was "the work of my grandfather."
When Mr. Saeasta says, "Now let
us negotiate for a year or so about
the possession of Manila," we have
only to point to the large new Ameri
can flag floating over that city "and
say, "Why, there is nothing to
negotiate about. You might as well
begin to dispute over Florida -because
you once owned it."
For Admiral, -Dewey : For the
proper guidance ot the development
of the new navy, a full Admiral. For
the high office of Admiral, the fittest
man. Is there any doubt in any
mind as to who is that fittest man?
Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The delinqent taxes of Wasco counly,
as shown on th6 rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $60,000. an amount al
most equal to the indebtedness of the
county. Erery 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 Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For tbia 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 clop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for the 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 anl sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.

he interested in the experience of W. M.
Bush, clerk of the bote Dorrance, Prov
idence, R. I. He says : "For several
years I have been almost a constant suf
ferer from diarrhoea, the . frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at this
hotel. About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarhoea Remedy. Much to my sur
prise and delight its effects were imme
diate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the
disease I would fortify myself against
the attack with a few doses of this val
ueabla remedy. The result has been
very satisfactory and almost complete
relief from the affliction." For sale by

Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada
E. Hart, of Groton, -S. D. "Was taken
with a bad cold which settled on my
lungs ; cough set in and finally termin
ated in Consumption. Four doctors
gave me up, saying I could live but a
short time. I gave myself up to my
Savior, determined if I could not stay
with my friends on earth, I would meet
my absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight
bottles. It has cured me, and thank
God I am saved and now a well and
healthy woman." Trial bottles free at
