Oregon Statesman, Aug. 19, 1864 T EGAL notices and patent medicine advertisements oc- J-J copied most of the space in the little four-page news paper 11x15 inches page size, entitled "Daily Oregon Statesman' for the date of August 19, 1864. Mrs. S. A. Dyer has recently let us see a copy of this issue which she has in her possession. The Statesman was founded as a . weekly newspaper March 17. 1851. It became a daily July 20, 1864, so this particular Issue was No. 27 of the daily edition. Legal notices from Douglas and "Coose" county were published then m the Statesman. The paper had several mining notices and we notice at that early day they were levying: assessments for working the Santiam mines. J. H. and I. R. Moores had the biggest general merchandise ad and after the manner of old advertising, catalogued every thing they had in the store, getting down finally to mis cellaneous: canary cages, tar ren's cabs . . . everything needed for a complete outfit for the Santiam mines. The editor's name is not whfth had been founded by A. had become, a loyal partisan of its masthead: For president, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois; for vice-president, Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee." The leading editorial denounced John C. Fremont who was run ning as an "independent" against Abraham Lincoln. Inde pendency, it seems, is not a new habit. A citizen writes in ' to charge Ben Hayden with had been imported into Polk ticket. War news appears on page a a A . A J jevotea aimosi wnony to advertising, ine statesman car ried a daily telegraph news service just as it has ever since, only dispatching took longer and the report from the head quarters of the Army of the, Potomac is dated Aug. 16. It says: "Everything quiet in front of Petersburg." There is a brief report of one of the engagements around Richmond, and Atlanta was under siege from General Sherman who was extending his lines about the city. The overland stage was drawing in its stock to Omaha on account of Indian raids. The only war work note"d locally was the item that Rev. Dr. Patterson, agent of the U. S. Christian Commission, would address the people of the city at the First M. E. church. There is an interesting letter from T. McF. Patton written in vmo following a trip to Mew xorjc mere ne nad seen two "monster iron clads," the Puritan and the Die- tator, visited the offices of the Tribune and the Herald, also visited P. T. Barnums humbug museum in whose "his torical room" he found specimens of currency, certificates, etc, which prompted him to write: "The Idea occurred to me that this would be a good place to exhibit specimens of the stock certificates of the numerous organ ised companies on the famous Santiam' He winds up, following a visit in Philadelphia, Wash ington and other eastern cities with: "Old Aba is all right. Fremont aad Little Mae are not spoken of." This early Statesman had some "valley news," pub lishing the following under the head of "up-country items": "Several fields of corn on the Long Tom as averaging about six feet in length, to the stalk. Parties are leaving Corvallls nearly every day on pleasure excursions to Yaeolna bay. There is a general and substantial improvement noticeable in the town." The adyertisements which age of the space than present practice permits, are inter esting. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the only one of the many patent medicines advertised which has survived. A Portland house advertised quors." The City Bakery offered 15 loaves of bread for a dollar. Stapleton and Myers were offering a newly patented washing machine:'. "Unsurpassed by any machine of the kmd ever invented, There is a notice about the formation of the Bank of California as the successor to the San Francisco banking house of Donohue, Ralston & Co. It had a Portland branch with' Jacob Kamm in charge. William Alvord is listed as one of the founders, and we suppose the present manager of the Portland branch is a relative of his. So this bank has had a long and honorable career. Sublimity College announced the opening of its second year. The "expenses" for 'higher English" were $7 to $8 and for "common English" $5 to $6. Vocal music was taught without charge. J. B. V. Butler of Polk county wat fore closing on; some land to satisfy a deficiency judgment against some one. Richards and McCracken advertised 'Sand wich Island sugar just received per. bark Cambridge, 600 kegs -of 'sugar." Salem had "surgical and mechanical dent ists." Caton and Curl announced they would purchaser war scrip or claims against Oregon and Washington. Kenyon s gallery offered for sale "splendid card photographs of the Hero of Vicksburg" General Grant. The Statesman, then as now, was putting in new ma chinery to meet the needs of the public for fine printing and advertised: "We have lately received, direct from New ToTk, per clipper ship Carrier Dove, and bark Alma, a new and beautiful Gordon Job Power Press.' It still ran the "Prospectus" of the daily edition, stat ing "Dally mails and the more rapid telegraph, render weekly news papers altogether too alow to satisfy the public greed for news. The community In which the Dally Statesman la to circulate t email. It Is true, bat we sbaU spare nto efferte te mak the paper worth Its price to every dtlsen, and rely .apoft a generous, if not sTXtenetre support.-: And the price ah. those by mail ox in the city, $10 a year In' advance; by carrier, 37V2C a week. Advertising rates were, good too: $2.00 lor a "square 12 lines or less, about 2 Inches.' 8 The beginnings of the "Daily Oregon Statesman ere indeed humble, but it was something of a venture to launch during those war times a daily paper in the small town of Salem. Those who are its publishers today cannot but feel something of a trust in carrying forward the stewardship. We can only quote approvingly, and appropriately, from-the conclusion 01, this old iTospectus": - "Determined to make the ? enterprising', lively, good newspaper, we appeal to oar friends to aid " ns la giving It a remunerative circulation." . r .

The death rate from this disease shew ed the sharpest drop of any dis ease, the mortality amour tho white BODHlatfoa having beaa S.t per 100,009. This is m reduction of 19.3 per cent from tho lowest previous figures tor tho first Quar ter of any year. Among tho negro population the death rate from tu berculosis tor this quarter was 297.S per 100,004 a drop at IX per cent. Most of the principal childhood diseases hare shown reduced death, rates as compared to tho same period for 1928 and 1929. Scar let fever was an exception in this respect. A noteworthy drop was record ed for diphtheria. Tho mortality rate in this disease at the end of March among the white and negro population combined was shown to be 8.9 per 100,000 aa compared with 10.7 in 1929. A considerable reduction la the death rate from all causes Is shown in the report. A marked improvement Is recorded for pneu monia. Influenza, Intestinal com plaints, chronic nephritis and tu berculosis, as has been noted. As to the cancer death rate, a pro nounced drop has been noted among the white population of the country. These are hopeful signs.

Try to take It ImpersoaaUy, as if It had all happened to someone else. I know it's a strain on you. bnt it hap to be done aad we haven't a great deal of time." "Strain? I shall have to learn to bear strain, I think. Part of 1 1 don't understand, myself, but I'll tell you what I can. Somehow it seems very long age not like yesterday." Peter found himself ardently hoping that the sense ot remote ness and unreality, the effect of shock, would mercifully not wear oft before Aline reached the end of her recital. "I did not know my sister very well," she began with slow clarity. "Wo were both left orphan very young, and were brought up by different sets of relatives. But whenever we met, wo got along well enough, and when X found that she was at loose ends tor the summer, I invited her to visit me. It did not once enter my head that that Don" Her lips twisted la .bitter Una that was leas like a amflo than a grimace defying tho ignominy of tears. "I was so lost la Don and I had every reason to suppose ft was tho same with bin. I told yon I didn't take these things lightly. Pernaps sis manner had been a little different lately. But it it was, I attributed It to his moods. Essentially he was toward mo as ho had always been as ho had come to be in these last few months. Then yesterday Marjorie told me. She told me I had been a fool not to see It. 'I didn't believe her I could not. I bad been so sure: eo- utterly sure! My disbelief made her ang ry so angry that she told me other things, she taunted me oa tho difference la our ages. She said that Don told her ho had only been playing with too, that he had turned from me at once when she. a younger womaa earn. don't tnlak bow no eoold have said that or. It he said it, atlU It was not trio. Bo aad aot beea Just playing with me not at first, not before she came, I am euro.- iw-r Slowly aad painfully, picking tho phrases, tho low voice went on. Peter paid aHeat tribute to tho courage which could thus lay bare its own faUen pride la tho face ot necessity. . "She aid that ho did aot know how to gat rid ot me, when I waa so wilfully Mind. She ovoa aaid that tho blindness was only a pre tense, to try 'to keep them apart It was then that X told her to pack her things and go to go at once. rIf I do' aho said. Don goes with mo She was flinging her things into her suitcase, helter- skelter, while we talked. "Bat Don can't go I said. He has to stay with tho ranch. Max counting On him. Ifa strange, but that is really what X thought of that Don mast stay by tho ranch, tor Max's saksx I didn't ex pect Max back for at least a cou ple ot weeks, yoa see? "I'm going and Don fa going, tat repeated. "But before he coos, bo will tea Max the reaaoa. Ha win write aim that he had to go because yea wouldn't lot aim alone.' That'll tho only way aad It won't leave yoa la any position to maze ironoie cor us." I don't know why X believed sack a thing ot X)on ualeat ft was that I had never nany knows much of his character. That flam ing nam ox emouoa waa. always Between us. it nad kept me from seeing him clearly even from trying to. And that flaming mist (had caught Marjorie too. I knew interestinc histnnV! Wiimnt By Nancy Barr Mavity that she was not thinking ot any one but herself and Don-that she couldnt. Oh, how well I knew It! "She left me standing there, and sent Julio up from tho lower garden to carry her bags down to tho road, where the stage passes by. X heard him come and go. I remembered the things Don had said to me aad those other things that Marjorie had told me he said. I seemed to be hurtling down and down into some hide ous abyss. "I remember I put my hands against the wall and pushed with all my might, as if I could by mala force tear it apart. It waa like some rending physical pain, when yon scream that you can't bear it, and yet it goes on. "And then, gradually, some thing emerged. It was Max. What It would mean to Max when Don told him about us. And somehow It was all mixed op with stray thoughts about the sheep and the herders, and how Don was going to desert the ranch When Max was depending oa him. "I heard a queer rattling sound it was the sound ot my own laugh when it dawned on me how utterly lnalgmlficamt the sheep were, after all. "Then suddenly everything be came clear very eold and clear. The hot afternoon sun was blaz ing Into tho room and I shiver ed. It must bo destroyed this thlag that had arisen, a flaming mist, between Max and me. It mast Io destroyed because ef Max because ot his utter steadiness and faith. "It was the thing in myself that must be destroyed and yet that thing was Don. Tor Don to tell Max would bo worse than killing htm, because. It Max were dead, he would never know. 'Killing him' X remember I said that aloud. I heard it. and It was like another voice la tho room. I must kill the thing la the flaming mist I matt kill Don so that Max would never be hurt would never know I took the pistol from theTTl drawer ot tho table, wnere Max kept It and went down tho path to tho lodge. X stood tn the door way and tired before I could see mora than a dark blur tn the shadowed room. Then X saw Don sitting at the table, tad X fired again. He toppled zorward over tho table top." Mrs. Everett leaned baek, her fingers pressed against her tem ples, and sighed like one who is very tired. "Bnt yoa said. Peter reminded bar, "that yon did not shoot him twice." Aline dragged her hands away from her face. Aain, and again, aad again she mast lift herself from that pit ot uttermost weari acea, aad force her exhausted mind to meet tho future that was the past, the past that had hurled her to this present I didn't, Tho first shot went wild. It dldat hit anything at an "What do yon mean-ft didn't hit aaythiag at all? "Just that It weat through the ope window. "Thta who did fire that other shot?" "I don't know. Aad after all, X killed him, so what does it mat ter? "It matters everything tn tho world, Peter shouted. "It some body also dldat kUl Mortison, somebody else made a mighty good stab at ft. Either one of the woeada waa sufficient to cause death.' For the matter of that I don't see how yoa can be sure that your first bullet didn't hit him. Ton eould hardly see Into the room, you said." "I don't know why I'm so sure. But the pistol was waving wildly In my haad, and I hare a distinct Impression that the shot went wild." r "I don't suppose you happened to notice where tho first shell dropped? -"No Yes, I do! I heard tho click as It dropped on a stone at my feet; then it bounced and roll ed off into the grass." Peter glanced at her keenly. Was It possible that she way ly ing that she had invented the shell that dropped as ahe stood outside the door on the spur of moment? But what could be the motive in such an Invention when she hid already admitted that her second shot had struck MortisOa? "I found two Identical .45 sheila on the floor of the room," he said meditatively. "But, by Jlm iny, if you're right they may not be so Identical as they look!" "I still don't see " "Why, it's as plala . s the nose on your tace! If someone else shot Mortison after yu did, the only thing for you to do is stick to your original story and put up a defense of temporary insanity or maybe we can work up some sort of self-defense angle. But with the Jury yonll hare hero, It will bo a pretty tough proposi tion." Aline Everett shook her head. "No," she said. "I'm telling one big lie. and that's for Max. It's enough. I won't tell any others. I wasn't Insane, and it wasn't self-defense." "But don't you see, it all hinges on which ot those shots waa fired first! If one of them came from another pistol than yours, Kurt ner can find It out and caa tell which shot came from your gun, even It they both look alike as two peas. In that case, it's pos sible that you didi't kill him at all that he was already dead when you got there!" "You mean that perhaps I didn't do It!" The words came gasping, incredulous. "I mean that Tve got to get busy and work on that other bul let. Something tells me " But Aline had slumped limply aad silently to the floor.

The Safety Valve - - Letters from Statesman Readers Editor ot Statesman: I note In The Statesman your articles about tho tent meetings and the leaders. Brother get your Bible out and look up what Mr. Wy'att is preaching about and you will find every word about healing, backed by God's word. The writer has personally been healed of bad diseases over sev en years ago and it still keeps. I have known dozen of preach ers who practice praying for the sick and according to the Bible they should all do so, as It Is a part of the gospel. I have never known a preacher to take a cent for praying for the sick. Mr. Wyatt will not either. Tou should understand that he couldn't heal anything and does not claim to. The writer has been to every meeting and knows what he is talking about. All he does Is obey the Bible and pray for the sick and God does the heal ing. Tou can do the same or any one else can if they will only give their hearts to God and cast un belief out of their hearts and be lieve the word. Read.
