Taylor SECURITY ry DID POEM 111 UNION COUNTY RECORDS The La Grande Observer print3 the following little sketch of Vnlon coun ty pioneer days, which makes men tion of the editor of the East Ore gonlan: Vnion county's court house has many antique and valuable documents In It, and from time to time one of these Is unearthed by the various of ficials. The latest thing of Interest to be found in the archives came to light Saturday afternoon. "Among a pile of old rubbish stor ed In one of the office safes and which was presumably moved over from Vnion at the time of the county seat removal four years ago, was found an old autograph album, not much the worse for age. On the fly leaf is found the following Inscription: "Presented to Mr. John Hanson, by B. W. Huffman. November 15, lbSS. "The Huffman referred to is Ed itor Bert Huffman, formerly an en gineer running out of this city, but now editor of the Pendleton East Ore gonian. and one of the most versntlle poets of the state. No one appears to know who John Hanson Is. "On the next page is found the fol lowing: " 'For the expression of truthful, sincere thoughts of my friends. No vember 16, 18SS. Jno. fL Hanson." "The balance of the pages are blank except on about the 17th page the following is found: "To John." "(On the First Anniversary of His Wedding.) 'Tis just one year ago today, John, Just one long year ago; The forest leaves had fallen down. The hills were wreathed In snow; You saw beside your path a flower A blossom freshly blowrf? Tou loved its faultless lnnocee And claimed It as your own. Long may you live! Long may she live Your helpmeet and your wife! And on your brows, pray, may there shine The fairest crowns of Life! When silver threads and furrows creep Upon your manly brow, May all the cares and trials of Life Bear lighter then, than now! B. W. H., Nov. 15, 1889. (Anthony Creek.)" For the benefit of the La Grande Observer and the many friends of Bert Huffman in eastern Oregon, who may be Interested In the above little lfcm, It may be said that John Hanson was a sawmill engineer who with Bert Huffman worked in the various pioneer mills started by the Oregon Lumber company at North Powder, Telocaset and Anthony creek back In the eighties. Hanson and Huffman worked and ate and "slept thegither" for several years, and were considered about the hard est working, most skillful sawmill men In eastern Oregon. During four seasons in eastern Or egon Hanson and Huffman helped saw about 20,000,000 feet of pine limber from the foothills of Union and Baker counties.. FISH HUM EX DO N OT LIKE XKW FISHING LAW. The Dalles, Ore., Sept. 4 Fishing cn the Upper Columbia ceased at noon on August 25 iri accorfiance with the old law which requires fish ing to cease until noon on September 14. The new fish law passed under the Initiative last June, which pro hibits fishing on the Columbia above the junction of the Sandy river also went into effect on August 23. Sora of the local fishermen seem to be of the opinion that as they have paid for a license which gave them the right to fish for one year, from March CI. 1909, the state cannot pass an other law rescinding the first law, especially as they have paid for the right. Accordingly some of the fish ermen contend they will have the right to fish until their licenses ex pire next March, subject, however, to the closed periods under the old law. In case of an arrest for a vio lation of the new law this would bring up a complex legal question. As under the new law up-river fish, ermen are shut off from fishing, and as many of the lower fishermen are very much dissatisfied with the last fish law passed under the Initiative, prospects are that there will be an attempt to resume fishing by some of the dissatisfied upper and lower fishermen. In this case the matter will be threshed out In the courts. GokI Tobacco Crop. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 4. Tobacco harvesting in this state, where the famous "Connecticut wrapper" for cigars Is grown, Is now nearlng com pletion. With good curing weather, the crop promises to be one of the best in years. The price offered is not so good as expected, owing It Is alleged, to the machinations of the "tobacco trust." Many growers will hold their crops until better prices are offered.

Traveling 7000 miles to visit the far-famed farming lands of Oregon, two wealthy young Germans arrived In Portland this morning after a totif of the continent. They have been In the United States Just 24 day Imviio nrrlviM on the Wllhelm .... ' ' ' - nearly a month ago and they took occasion to visit the best known farm ing districts of the country en route. The travelers are Edward Rlechar ett of Dessau, and Gottlieb Nathusius. who with his father owns ono of the largest landed estates in the rich country surrounding Magdeburg. The estate covers more than 3000 acres Both, are pleased with this count and 'they say their own fatherland does not compare with the United States In point of agricultural and mercantile pursuits. They were par ticularly Impressed with the gre department stores of America and they say there Is nothing like them la the old countries. Mr., or Herr Rlocharctt as he smilingly gave his' name to a Journal reporter, is a graduate of the famous old German university of Halle and with his companion, Herr Nathuslus, . engaged In a study of farming methods on this continent with a view to aplylng them In Germany The gentlemen say that for speed and convenience agricultural pro- hnrp m-p far In the lead of those In their country. They leave tomorrow for a trip u the Willamette valley, where they wll make an extended sojourn In the hoi fields. Mr. Kicharett finds it difficult t spoak English but he manages to make himself understood wherev he and his friend stop. They both speak French and can converge flu ently in half a dozen other languages. Mr. Rleeharett said that Portland is regarded as the real wheat ship ping port of the United States by his country. More vessels load from thl city, he said than from all the other pr rts on th" Pacific coast combined "And If you go down to the harbor ip Hamburg and ask the sailors abou the United States they are sure to mention Portland as the best of them all." Turn Down Commission Plan. Portland. Sept. M. Members of ths charter board who are opposed to the Des Moines system of municipal gov eniment had their Inning last night, when they defeated a motion made by Dr. C. H. Chapman to recommend the adoption of the commission form of government. A report was also heard from City Attorney Kavanaugh, chairman of the committee to inves tigate on the mayor and council form of government. Last night's meeting was spirited and the members Indulged in flings which added spice to the arguments which arose over Dr. Chapman's mo tlon. Five or six of the members were unwilling to place themselves on reC' ord at the present time to adopt eith er form of government. Dr. Chap man took the attitude of the other members as opposing the Des Moines system and made a remark to the ef feet that he could flee the fate of the motion. Those who took part in the discus sion were John F. Logan, F. V. Hoi man, R. W. Montague, City Attorney Kavanaugh, Dr. Eliot and F. E Beach. Ben Selling also spoke against the adoption of the commls sion form of government without fur ther Investigation, and was in favor of asking the council for more time In which the commission could work before submitting the question to the people. As a result of the discussion which followed Dr. Chapman withdrew his motion to adopt and substituted an other asking the council for more time. This was carried and Chairman McGinn appointed John M. Gearln F. V. Holman. Dr. C. H. Chapman, John F. Logan and Dr. W. G. Eliot, Jr., a committee to wait on the coun ell. In presenting the report of his committee City Attorney Kavanaugh clearly explained the working of the present city charter, its scope and de tail and closed by strongly urging Its continuance by the city. He delved further Into the mysteries of the present charter and explained the re lation of the various departments and the scheme under which they work He also explained the ties of the de partment in. relation to one another, Associated on the committee with Mr, Kavanaugh were H. H. Newhall and F. E. Beach. After hearing City Attorney Kava naugh's. report the members Indulged in a discussion of the charters and those opposed to the Des Moines sys tem seemsed to be dominant. The prevailing opinion was that the form of government adopted by the Iowa city is too radical and too much of The Built Most Beautiful Homes Today, Are Being Made of Concrete Blocks.

Letters were read by Sigel Grutze from mayors of several large titles throughout the United .States and all were opposed to the Des Moines charter. ' Dr. Chapman defended the Des Moines plan by declaring that he be-i lleves bettor government can be ob-; tallied for the people by uniting the j legislative and executive branches of the government. Other members of: the commission contended that the Des Moines plan facilitates business.

Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the 50c bottle of Dr. King's New Discov ery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone.

Cranberry pick ing began In earnest today in the great Cape Cod bogs, where a con siderable portion of the country's Thanksgiving sauce has its origin. Commission merchants estimate that the Cape Cod shipments will be about the same as last year, which was 285, 000 barrels. The early blacks began to arrive this week about 10 days earlier than last season. A vanvass of the larger bogs shows that worms have caused considerable loss In some sections, but on the whole the prospects are fair for a good crop. Recent rains have Im proved the berries in the Cape Cod district und they are large and of a good quality. New England cranber ry men expect to receive a good price for their crops, as reports from New Jersey and other sections where cranberries are grown Indicate a ma terial shortage.

Owing to many complaints received recently, secret service officials believe that a well-organized gang of crooks, oper ating all over the country, Is engaged In the passing of notes of defunct state banks upon the careless and the Ignorant. Evidently a vast quantity of these notes have been secured by the sharpers. They are just as good in workmanship as real government money and some of the notes bear a close resemblance to Uncle Sam's currency. The notes most often pass ed by the sharpers are those of the State Bank of New Brunswick, N. J., which has been out of existence for 40 years, and the defunct State Bank of Savannah,. Ga. Several arrests have already been made In an effort to stop this Illegitimate traffic. Ring's Little Liver Pills for bilious ness, sick headache. They keep you well. A. C.
