The address of Prof. Rork Uiis after
noon was listened tti by about twenty per

tariff, banks and saloons. He believed in
"flat" money, and that the government
should loan this money at SS per cent, on
reasonable security. The principles of
Mr. Kork can be summed up in the three
words, greenbacks, prohibition, free-trade.

Mr. McAllister, who took his sheep last
fall to the Horse Heaven conutry in Yakima I
county, has had a V6ry hard experience dur

and disagreeable weather he lived in a teut

the outside with sage-brush. Melted snow
furnished him an abundant supply of water,
The thermometer, he informs us, he a been
30 degrees below zero, and the snow two cr

light, as at the beginning of the season he
purchased a large hay stack, and had an
abundance of feed.
A reporter in attendance on the address
of Mr. Rork, furnishes the following notes
Prof. Rork should remember that America
has nothing in commou with Euglaod or
Ireland. The lands of our free country are
not donated to the offspring of our national
leader by ' royal prerogative . lbe ni
certainly have our sympathy, but not on
account of a common suffrage. He should
change the data of bis discourse when com
mg before an intellectual audience, and the
conclusions reached . might be 'applicable.
His speech throughout was a conglomera
tion of prohibition, woman suffrage, "home
rule" and free-trade, reaching out for al
classes of soreheads."

sle with two inebriated residents last 1 aes

He had frequently taken them home while

other in the alley. He requested the man
on the walk to go home, but be only re

sistance. Mr. Quinton threw them both in
the street, without striking either: and in
their struggles one of them hit him over the
left hand with a rock, bruising the member
considerably and fracturing one ot the
bones. 1 hey were placed in the city jail.

Ou May 11, 1792, Captain Robert Gray
entered the Columbia river in the ship Col
umbia, of Boston, and gave the name of bis
ship to the "mighty Oregon." Iu 1892 a
century will tiaye elapsed and by that time,
two years hence, the states of Oregon and
Washington should celebrate the event in a

first discoverer of Gray's harbor and the
Columbia river, the honor cf making us
members of the United States of Ameriea.
It is not too soon for our legislature to
begin to take some action iu tlm matter.
Two year's time is little enough for Oregon
and Washington to get up a grand centen

patriotic legislators will think of this matter
and take some action. Hon. Eiwuod Eyans,

AN EARLY BLAZE
Noble Work of Onr Brave
The Hungry Flames Attempt to Destroy
a Two-Story Rarae Building.
The Well Directed Efforts of Onr
Fire Department have the City
Frem l)etrnction.
Fire was discovered in the rear end of
the building occupied by Wm. Snyder as
a restaurant and lodging house on Main
street in this city about 2:30 Monday
morning. When first seen the flames were
burning fiercely, and the alarm was given
by officer Quinton. The department was
quick to respond, but the steamer did
not work well from some cause, and the
first stream ot water on the fire was from
Columbia Hose No. 2, which was at
tached to the fire plug nt the corner of
Court and Main, operated by tbe steam
pump at the company's shops. Tbe
pipe leading from the shops bursted, by
reason of an old break, which was only
soldered, when a new joint should have
been put in. Mr. Snyder saved a large
portion of his gnods in the second story,
and Mr. J. E. Hardy removed his paints,
oils and baggies which were in the shop
to be painted. As soon as the steamer
?ot water, very effective work was done
by the department. There was excellent
management by the chief, his assistants
and the foremen of the different compa
nies. Dortuuateiv there was almost a
perfect calm. , If a breeze had been blow
ing in tbe prevailing direction, the large
Cosmopolitan would have caught, and
then the city would have been doomed.
For awhile . tears were entertained for
tbe safely of the neighboring blocks; but
not only was the fire confined to the
single building, but the front part of it
was saved and tbe charred shell of. the
rear. It may be considered nearly a
total loss, as it will cost almost as
much to repair as to rebuild. We
can not speak definitely until a
careful estimate . is nude. The loss of
Mr. Snyder will be about $1400 and n
insurance, t he loss of Mr. Hardy in gia-s.
wall-paper, etc., is fully covered by io
suracce. The fire is supposed to be the
work of an incendiary, aud Mr. Snyder
condemns a man of tbe act who owed hi m
a board bill and who refund to nav it.
Mr. Snyder kept bis blankets as security.
and the fellow became angry and made
threats that be would "get even"? We
understand the man got bis blankets
during the fire and left tbe city.

Wheat looks fine. Snow all gone, ex
cept in a very few places. Ground is full
of water and in some places the roads are
almost impassible for loaded teams.
About two miles from this place, ou the
Grass Valley road, Mr. J. O. Powell got
stuck with a . load of hay on his way to
Rutlcdge; Mr. Pike stuck with a load of
wheat en route for the viciui'y ot Bake
Oven. If this weather continues the
roads will soon be dry agaiu. '
G. W. and E. G. Messinger bought the
farm of C. B. Taylor. We were not in
formed what the consideration was. Mr.
Taylor, we understand, intends to settle
somewhere in tbe Grand Rounde conn
try. We are sorry to lose Mr. Taylor
from our midst, as his departure deprives
Sherman county of one of her best citi
zens.
G. W. Messinger passed through this
place to-day en route to Grass Valley t
superintend some road work in tbat vicin
ity.
Mrs. J. A. West moved from Moro to
her homestead about two miles from that
place.
George Hamilton and wife, of Grass
Valley, were callers at the Erskincville
House to-duy. -
Frem the number of seeders we saw in
front of the blacksmith shop to-day, for
repairs, at Moro it seems as if the farmers
of that locality mean business.
All those who wish to participate in
game or base ball can have en opportu
nity, as the Milbra club meets every Sun-
day and extends an invitation to all who
wish to join in the sport.
We think we will have to vote for Moro
for the county seat, after the prize fight
there; for we cannot think of Moro as
our brother of the Observer (that it is no
credit to Moro and . an objection to locat
ing the county seat at that place). We
notice that .some of the most prominent
cities of the west make bids for those
heroes ot pugilistical renown, aud if they
are reared out here in the bunchgrass,
and their scientific training is demon
strated at Moro, she is just that much
ahead of other places.' Some time ago we
noticed a subscription of $40,000 raised
in The Dalles as an inducement for John
L. Sullivan and Teter Jackson to come to
that place for a contest, and clso noticed
offers from Portland, San Francisco and
Tacorua. So you see Moro steps in just a
little ahead, as she will in the coming
contest for the county seat

The body of John Schroder was found
floating in Gray's river, on tie Washington
side of the Columbia, yestei tf afternoon.
near the postotfice ot that nau-c. ' His dead
horses, still attached to the wagon, were
near him.
Schroder was a farmer who has been in
charge of the fine farm of Isaac Bergman, of
Astoria, on Gray's river, for nearly a year
past. Mr. Bergman bad been visiting the
farm to give instructions for the opening of
the season's work.and early yesterday morn
ing Schroder got out his team to carry his
employer to the landing, where he took the
steamer Rwal for home. Schroder was in
good spirits and when Mr. Bergman alighted
at the landing, bade him a cheerful goad-
bye and started for home. When next seen
he was a corpse fl-wtintf on tbe turbid waters
a short distance below the plitce where- he
should have forded the .river ou his return
trip. Not far above the spot the men who
found the body also discovered the team
and wagon. The ford is a shallow one and
nobody is able to explain .how Shroder
missed it, but the general supposition is
that be was a little careless iu euteriug the
ford, and missed the proper place, where
the water is not over three feet at tlu deep
est, in which event he must have goue into
a deep hole just below the ford, where he
lost his presence of mind aud in an en
eleavor to pull his team around caused the
wagon to tip, when he became entangled
in tbe harness or the running gear and was
drowned before he could extricate himself.
Another theory is that the horses became
unmanageable and dashed into ..the hole,
causing the wagon to careen and throw him
out, with the same result. This seems the
more likely explanation, although the team
was supposed to be perfectly safe. Shroder
was about forty-five years of age, and being
a steady,' industrious man, this makes his
friends all, tbe more certain that bis death

SOT ISOLATED CASES.
To show that the cures made by Joy's Vege
table Saraaporilla are not only; not exceptional
cases, but that It helps everybody, we cite a few
Instances where two In tbe same family took It
and were both cured.
Thomas Stephens, of 168 Bixth St,B. F., took
ft for weak stomach and dyspepsia. It entirely
cured him. He then cave it to his wife for hex
sick headaches, since which time she has had
no return. It cured them both.
Urs. B. L. Wheaton, of 704 Post 8t, 8. F., was
a sufferer from stomach and liver troubles and
biliousness. Finding that it relieved her, she
save it to a little girl living with her whose af
fliction was a large open sore which nothing
seemed to heal. It also cured the child.
H. & Winn, of Geary Court; Geary 8t, 8. F.,
prominent in the Order of Bed Men, was very
feeble and greatly reduced. Joy's Vegetable
8arsaparlUa restored bis health and accustomed
visor. Be thereupon gave it to bis wife who
was similarly afflicted and had nervous prostra
tion. It had the same happy effect upon her It
had upon him. Scores of similar cases could be
cited but we have no room for them here.
