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

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

Sigel Grutze from mayors of several
large titles throughout the United

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.
Dr. Chapman said that under the !

Mr. John White of -3S Highland

ben troubled with a cough every
winter and Fprlng. 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. This winter the
same happy result has followed; a
few doses once more banished the
annual cough. I am now convinced
that Dr. King's New Discovery Is th-
best of all cough and lung remedies."

GohI CranlK-rry Crop.
Boston, Sept. 4. 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.

Beware of Fake Money.
Washington, Sept. 4. 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.
