The "Perfect" Hot Air Blast or a Cheap Farnace? A Remarkable Story Which Comes From Baker City. Because of an innocent HHln tnm printed In the Baker Ctty Herald a few weeks ago, Frank Colton, the popular first ehftlr liArhor in thr Gelser Grand tonsorlal narlors. Is $118.69 ahead of the game. The dis patch announced that 1893 dimes, minted with thr lnrtt- "3" nn verse side were worth $5 apiece, be cause of their rarity. During that year only 25 ten-cent pieces were is sued from the San Francisco mint. Frank read the dispatch and lmmed- mieiy began "peeling" his .eye for the rate dimes. Ho rlnsnlv RoniM. nlzed each coin that passed through nis hands and was rewarded each day by discovering one of the $5 kind. He kent his auest secret, and cnsn. ally visited the various gambling tables with the result that last Sat urday he found the 24th dime of the San Francisco mlntace of 1893. Hp his written to three rare coin col lectors askine for bids for the lot and hopes to secure even higher premiums than ?5 each. It seems almost marvelous that the entire 24 of these dimes should be collected in Baker Citv. The onlv reasonable explanation offered is that the entire issue of 1S93 was sent to one of the banks of this city. It is a fact not cenerallv known but n I fact, nevertheless, that more subsi duary is sent to Baker City from the mint at San Francisco, than to anv other town in the northwest. Most northwestern cities have a way of accumulating silver coins in such abundance as to necessitate frequent shipments back to the United States depositories. Baker City, however, seems a distributing DOint for SO vast a onln.iisinir torrl. tory that the local banks are invar- muiy troubled with a lack of small change. W. G.

THE Golconda Gold Mine A Plain Statement of Fact : The GOLCONDA MINE, in the Sumpter district, with all its equipment, and ten other claims, was recently purchased by the Golconda Consolidated Gold Mines Company, principal office in Pendleton, which is now operating the mine. The full pur chase price is paid, and all but the treasury stock disposed of to those who advanced the purchase price. There was left in the treasury for an operating fund 500,000 shares of treasury stock. Some of this stock is offered for sale, but not exceeding 200,000 shares of it will be sold ; as that will supply ample funds until the mine is more than self sus taining. This stock is offered at 10 CENTS A SHARE for the next thirty days. As an investment of this character nothing equals it. To prove its worth those at work in the mine, who are in a position to.know what is in the Golconda, have bought stock at ten cents a share to the extent of their financial, ability. Those who have a little money which they can spare for the purpose should take 1,000 or more shares of this stock, as they will most likely find it the very best investment they ever made in their lives. Address all orders for stock with checks in favor of JAMES A, HOWARD tEft&3Fc$X& PENDLETON, ORE. m m b . W IP W W. W. A' i A. A .V.

The Estimated Number In the United States. Professor John J. McCook. In the sew York Independent, estimates that there are now 60,000 tramps in the United States, against 65,986 in laoi, and 63,000 in 1893, of whom 30,000 attended the "World's Fair at Chicago. He thinks there were only about 17,000 tramps in 1870. 46,000 in 1880;. in 1873 40,000, and in 1894 62,000. The latter number was In creased in 1895, but began to de crease in 1896, and fell off 18 per cent from 1897 to 1899, the war be ginning in 1898, reducing the number materially. Many enlisted, and in some respects made good soldiers. for they were tough in more ways than one, and knew how to endure hardships and take care of them selves. Professor McCook estimates that 50,000 tramps now afoot cost the country 511,000,000 a year, while they produce nothing. Most men who take to the road in panic years, like 1873 and 1893-5, do not leave it when prosperity returns, because they have acquired the tramp habit and learned to hate work. Like a Drowning Man. "Five years ago a disease the doc tors called dyspepsia took such hold of me that I could scarcely go," writes Geo. S. Marsh, well known at torney of Nocona, Tex. "I took quan titles of pepsin and other medicines but nothing helped me. As a drown ing man grabs at a straw I grabbed at Kodol. I felt an improvement at once and after . a few bottles am sound and well." Kodol is the only preparation which exactly reproduces the natural digestive juices and con sequently is the only one which di gests any good food and cures any form of stomach trouble. Tallman & Co.

R. and N. company left La Grande for Seattle to bring back the body of Wm. Worth, who lately died In that city. Mr. Tillson goes on bis Bad errand as a delegate of the Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen, of which Mr. Worth was an honored member, "Billy" Worth, as he was familiarly called, was an old employe of the O It. & N. at this station. He was a most agreeable companion, al ways having a pleasant smile and word even for his enemies. He leaves a wife and young daughter to mourn his loss, says the La Grande Chronicle. The will of the late J. Sterling Morton estimates his estate to be worth about $250,000. The estate is divided among the four sons of the deceased. A sister is given a life's annuity. The Great Value of Saving Time. Thrift of time is as necessary as thrift of money, and he who knows how to save time has learned the secret of accumulating educational opportunity. Men who regard it as sinful to waste money, waste time with a prodigal's lavishness because they do not understand the vnluo of short periods of time; society is full of people who might enrich themselves an hundredfold and mako their lives immensely more in teresting if they learned this com monplace truth.
