JUST PLAIN HOliltERY.
la today's East Oregnnlun Is a spe
cial dispatch from Lewlston, Idaho,
telling of the burning of 14 slot ma
chines and four roulette wheels by
the sheriff of' Nez Perce county.
The law In Idaho is the same as the
law In Oregon on gambling, in the
uiain features, and when an Idaho
sheriff goes out to enforce It he does
not strip to ask which of his friends it
ill affect, but does his fluty.
The most startling fact developed iu
this raid was that the roulette wheels
were operated by a secret electric cur
rent, which made It Impossible for a
player to beat the game.
The marble never stopped on the
winning number if the manipulator
desired to turn it uslde. The machine
was equipped for wholesale robbery,
and no man had u ghost of a show to
win from the game.
The slot machines were ull plugged
to prevent them from stopping on the
large numbers, hut If by chance one of
them should stop at a large number
the wheels would not lock, but would
Veep moving slowly until they came
to an unplugged number, thus making
a large winning Impossible.
The tactics of Lewlston gamblers
are the tactics of gumblers the world
orer. Fools and boys and drunken
men are tholr principal prey. They
take no honest chance with outside
players. Their machines are equipped
to roj, they have secret devices with
which to trap the unsuspecting, and a
man with money never gets a square
deal, no matter who is running the
mime or who Is back of It.
It Is Just plain, systematized rob
bery, studied out by men who have
nothing else to do. to catch men who
think they are gamblers, hut who have
no time to devote to any part of the
profession, except to playing off their
earnings.
Who but fools will play agaln:,t
"cold decks" or plugged and doctored
machines? It is common knowledge
that It Is possible to manipulate th
roulette wheel, and yet sensible men
will talk of playing their luck against
It. Luck cannot compete with studied
robbery.
AUK OIIKIIOMAX'S LAZY.
Hubert Howe Bancroft In his esti
mable history of the United States,
writes disparagingly of the dispositions
of Oregonlans, In that part of the his
tory referring to Oregon.
After describing the glories of the
Cascades, the dreamland haunts of the
valleys ami rivers of Willamette, the
grandeur of the mountain gorges and
umbel e.J reaches, he then speaks of
the climate.
He says that no matter what the
season In the Willamette valley,
whether it was hot or cold In the day
time, a blanket Is always welcome at
night and that the hazy mist and sea
breezes that sweep over the land with
the coming of night, are so conducive
to sleep that the early settlers gained
the reputation of being lnr.y because of
the long hours they slept
Vcll, If Oregonlans have spent many
bappy hours under the blankets, they
stand third from the top with a small
percentage of Illiteracy among the
states of the union, and the state
possesses a per capita wealth of over
for every man, woman and
child In Its borders. And Oregon is
barely half a century old.
It Is not necessary in Oregon io
work the long hours which constitute
a day's work In the middle and eastern
states. In order to live and keep the
world moving. Nature has spread be
fore the Oregonlun a list of blessings
which few stales inherit and not the
least among these Is the blessing of
sleep.
Health, wealth, happiness, stale
pride, progress, unfolding of resources
and multiplying of material posses
sions all these are enjoyed and ap
preciated, not withstanding 'the charge
that the long, dreamy, marvelous
nights Induce sleep such as the hur
rying denizen of the crowded cities
knows not and such as never comes to
the tired eyes of the distracted multi
tudes of the sweltering and cyclone
cursed middle stales.

Court after court has upheld the
contention of the county, time and

have Indorsed the policy of Assessor

The county court has so far rejected
all overtures and h;ui stood squarely

let us employ assistance, if neces
sary, to work with District Attorney

their Interests. Kvery point will be
hotly contested. It will he a legal

The sentiment for higher values of

This case will set a precedent and
the company does not want the county

The most romantic figure In the
history of the "Oregon country" Is
Colonel Joe Meek, Virginian, "'squaw
man" and first marshal of Oregon.
He was a frontiersman of the highest
type. He was the leader ai I'ham
poeg on the most critical day In the
history of the northwest. At this
meeting, which the British had sug
gested. Meek was keen enough to see
that they wen- trying to force uu is
sue and if possible secure a Canadian
provisional government, and then he
and his fellows would he under Brit
ish rule.
Tills thought was appalling to him.
and he rode for two days, picking up
his ild mountain friends, and with
them nt once rode to Champocg. As
tin- British had rallied their friends In
numbers. Meek said to his four com
panions: "Looks bail for i ucle Sum,
ehV This thing must be settled right
here, and settled right.' After an
hour In effecting organization. Meek
addressed the audience of 101 front
iersmen, diluting on the beauty of the
republic, and he chiefly addressed his
remarks to the French trapper ele
ment. The vote was going to be close.
It was called for by the chairman,
and again Meek rose to his feet, his
six feet two of magnificent manhood
an Inspiration and exemplification of
Acmlrcan citizenship, saying:
"Kellows. I have trapped with
many of you; I have no quarrel with
those who want this government un
der England's rule, but If you want
to live in a republic with a flag In
which every star shines a beacon for
free government, and every stripe Is a
band Unit binds us together us a gov
ernment for the people vote for your
Cucle Sam. Come now. who's for a
divide?"
Meek stepped out of the crowd,
drew a line in the earth with the toe
of his great boot, and, stepping across
that zone on which every eye was
riveted, said: "This is American terri
tory! Here's your free government!"
His ringing voice stirred the blood
of the Irresolute and with a stampede

two for American provisional govern
ment. Kuch heart beat furiously as the
vote was being announced, and when
in steady tones the words came. "For
the Knglish. 50; for the tnlted States.
52!" a wild cheer burst from the lips
of the 52 empire builders.
Joe Meek was trembling. His lips
were dry. his mussive throat struggled
and swelled with emotion; great drops
of sweat stood out on his forehead
when suddenly. In that soft, rippling
southern accent, he said. In a subdued
whisper. "Thank Gawd!"
In a reminiscent hour Meek once
told this story of his courtship of Vlr-
glnlu. a chieftain's daughter:
"Tuu see, there was no white
women west of the Mississip'. in those
days, and my forefathers were great
on raising families, so naturally I
wanted a wife. My first wife. L'nieu
tukkel, hud died, and the second wife,
both being Neat Perces. had left me,
and after a few months I took quite
u shine to Virginia. From the way
that girl looked at me I half suspect
ed she liked me, and so, one duy, says
I, 'Virginia, I want you." Virginia
gave me to understand that I already
had one wife, and It took me a long
time to convince her that I was ir
widower Jo all Intents and purposes.
I finally overcame her scruples and
she consented, provided the chief
father was willing and there's where
1 had the tussle.
Do you know, that old chief had
been talking to the missionaries, and
he wouldn't stand for Virginia marry
ing a man who already had a wife.
For a whole month I argued with
him: I wrestled and threw every In
dian of the Nez Perce tribe, to show
him that I was strong and capable; I
outran every Indian In the plateau re
gion, and one day caught the chief's
big black stallion in a straight foot
race and still he said, 'No good; you
one wife now; no two squaws."
"And right here Is where I closed
in on Virginia's dad, tor I pulled the
Bible on him one day when the mis
sionary was there, and I read of
David and Solomon, and their many
wives, and all this time I translated
the Bible story I was asking that mis
sionary If I wasn't reading right, and
what could he do but say that I was.
"Then the father walked over,
took Virginia by the hand and said:
'Go with him; he not so bad as David
and Solomon, and he heap stout; he
take many skins In his trap.' And
that's the wny I got Virginia."

Tho Origin of,llond Hog.
As there seems some discussion as
the origin of "road hog" this explan
ation mny he useful:
In the early part of the last century,
before speedways were made In the
cities of the t'nltod Rtutcs, owners of
trotters were often annoyed when
speeding their horses by drivers of
stow and heavy wagons purposely and
deliberately Mucking the roud. These
were called "road hogs."
There was a popular print, drawn
by Morer. "the best horse painter of
the day.- published by Currier & Ives

"light rigs" having a "brush," and a
"road hog" pulling across their front.

PAINFUL PERIODS
Suggestions How to Find Relief from Such
Suffering.
i m$HSy YmzMWtf-
glissATeUie Holmes Rtff) MrxTillie fart
While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering-, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suiter so severely. Menstrua
tion is a severe strain on a woman's
vitality. Jf It is painful or irreg-ular
something- is wrong- which should be
set riht or it will lead to a serious de
rangement of Uie whole female organ
ism. More than fifty thousand women
have testitied in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkhnm that Lydia E. Pinkliam's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
ful and irregular menstruation.
It provides a safe and sure way of es
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con
vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegctuble Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Muss Nellie Holins of MO N. Davi
sion Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes:
Dear Mm. Pinkliam:
" Your medicine is indued an ideal medicine
for women. I suffered misery for years with
painful periods, headaches, arid bearing-down
pains. I consulted tro different physicians
but failed to get any relief. A friend from
the East advised ma to try Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound. I did so, and
no longer suffer as I did before. My period
are natural: every ache and pain is gone, and
my general health is much improved. I
advise all women who suffer to take Lydia
K. Piakbam's Vegetable Compound."
Mrs. Tillle Hart, of Larimore, N. D
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pin Whim:

" I dreaded the approach of my menstrual
period every nrmth, as it meant so much twin
ami suffering for me, but after 1 hail used the
natural and am now perfectly well and free
from pain atmy monthly periods. I am vory
grateful for wljat Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vege
table Compound has done for me."
Such testimony should be accepted
by all women as convincing evidence
that Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound stands without a peer as a
remedy for all the distressing ills of
women.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound rests upon the
well-earned gratitude of American
women.
When women are troubled with irreg
ular, suppressed or painful menstrua
tion, loucorrhrea, displacement or ul
ceration of the womb, that bearing
down feeling, inflammation of the
ovaries, backache, bloating, (or flatu
lency), general debility, indigestion and
nervous prostration, or are beset with
such symptoms as dizziness, faintness,
lassitude, excitability, irritability, ner
vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,
they should remember there is one tried
and true remedy, Lydia B Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound at once removes
such troubles. Refuse to buy any other
medicine, for you need the best.
