An interesting trial of the rights of
property before a sheriffs jury was the
attraction at me court nouse yesieruay
afternoon. Deputy rhirman presided and
administered law and justice without
tint. The jury decided in favor of the
claimant.
The recorder's court presents rather a
dull appearance His honor spends the
day reporting land office contests, while
his chair is held down by Mr. N. J. bin
nott. About the only item of interest
that occurred to-day was the issuing two
express licenses.
The case of the State vs. Gibson, con
tinued until to-day by Justice Schuiz, was
called up this morning. The defendant
waived examination, and was bound over
to appear before the grand jury in the
sum of $200, which he furnished and was
set at liberty. The charge is tor an as
sault with a dangerous weapon.
Prineville Nam: Grant White killed a
mule deer near the head of Yesey creek
a few days ago that weighed, when
dressed, 2S0 pounds. Hundreds of these
noble animals have been slain in this
county, but this is by far the largest one
that ever fell before any huntsman's rifle.
He must have been an old resideuter.
Mr. Reynolds, the cattle buyer, has up
to this date received no less than 3903
head of beef In Crook county, says an
exchange, every head of which will be

Dalles, special agent for Eastern Oregon,
accompanied by Frank J. Kinghorn, of
Seattle, arrived in Prineville Friday even
ing, and will remain for some time in the

Herr Aamold, the renowed violinist,
will give one of his famed recitals on
Friday evening, Oct. 14th, at tbe M. E.
church. - Tickets 25 and 60 cents. This
is a rare opportunity tor lovers of music
to -obtain a beat. The instrument tbe
professor plays on is valued at $5000.
Herr Aamold is accompanied by his wife,
who is an accomplished pianist
, The People's theatre was closed for all
time in Portland yesterday. This is the
direct result of the prize-fighting cases
that have attracted so much attention in
the criminal courts of late. It is now
settled that prize fighting is a precarious
business in Oregon. This is caused by
the firm stand made by District Attorney
Hume, and will have a lasting effect.
A contest case is on trial in the U. S.
land office to-day. The contesting partiea
are P. P. Sharp and W. J. Jeffera. Mr. D
S. Dnfnr ia busily engaged in reducing the
testimony to writing, his Remintoo click
lug away at a lively rate all day. Messrs
Dufur and Hudson appear lor tbe contest
ant, and the defendant ia represented by
B. S. Huntington. The case is being
warmly (ought, and being of considerable
local interest the decision of the register
and receiver will be anxiously, awaited by
many.
Prineville has just had a baseoall tour
nament lasting four days, in which differ
ent amateur teams from the various East
ern Oregon counties contested, with
changing results. Tbe series of games
was well played, and from all' reports the
various participating clubs did them
selves credit. Prineville, however, came
out on top, and is now claiming the best
amateur team in Eastern Oreg n, and
offers to meet any club that may present
Itself. The Dalles club was not repre
sented at the tournament. We have a
good team who will not hesitate to meet
any amateur team in the country, and if
the Prineville people are "spoiling for a
fight" we could probably accommodate
them.
Salem Statesman: Sunday evening about
7 o'clock Mrs. Caleb i hapman, who is
living with her daughter, Mrs. Thomas
Jackson, on Center street, had the misfor
tune to fall and sustain a serious con
tusion. She was about to go down the
back steps into the yard, when in taking
her first step she tell. In falling she
twisted around in 6uch a manner as to
strike with her whole weight against her
breast on one of the railings. She was
immediately brought into tbe house and
medical aid summoned. All that was
possible was done to relieve her suffer
ings. As she is 74 years of age her feeb
leness will tend to hinder her speedy re
covery. Some alarm is felt as to her ever
recovering again, but with careful nurs
ing she may be able to stand the shock.

Valkyrie was an ancient goddess of the
Norsemen. Ic was ahe who went over the
field of battle just prior to a conflict, and
selected those fated ones who were predes
tined by the gods to die at that time. Lord
Dunravtn must surely have been the one se
lected by her fatal finger this time.
About the most unique specimen in win
dow dressing can be aeen to-dav in the show

DeDutv Sheriff Cady, of Multnomah
countv. excerienced an exciting time in ef
fecting the arrest of Ei EJway, a desper
ate thief, for larceny. Edway was sur
prised in a scow, from which he attempted
ta escape, by jumping into the Colombia
river and swimming. Tne cold water soon
froze the fieht ont of him, and he was cap.-
tured by the officers in a boat, just as he
was on the point of drowning.
The third race of the series between the
Vigilant and Valyirie was sailed yesterday
Tbe wind was very light and the yachts
were scarcely able to make headway. Tbe
first trial was abandoned, and a new start
made at 1:47. The wind soon i ell and the
vachta proceeded very slowly At a late
hour the Valykrie was leading, the Vigilant
had not turned the stake boat. It is not
probable that the race was completed in
time. After the aeries of races laasompleted,
the Vigilant will be offered for sale, by the
syndicate who built her, first at private
sale, and theu at publio auction to the high
est bidder.
The convening of the International Irri
gation congress in Los Angeles, Calif., a few
days since, inaugurates a new era tor aeri
cuiturists in tbe arid portions of the coun
try. This is tbe brat general movement
having the redempti n of our and lands in
view. This is a matter ot great importance
to the country at large. If tbe rich lands
in portions of this state, that are now lying
waste because of the lack of water, could
be reclaimed it would mean an increase of
millions in the wealth of the state, and
when the entire arid region of the union is
considered the result wonld be almost be
yond the power of mind to comprehend.
The people of Nicaragua would welcome
an American protectorate, but why should
the United States go to the expense ot keep
ing the peace in a revolutionary country
that canuot keep its own peace? Vancou
ver Independent. The reason why is a most
potent one. Ibe possession ot .Nicaragua
with the facilities for constricting an inter-
oceanio canal wonld be eagerly grasped by
any of the European powers, did they but
have the opportunity. Nicaragua, with
all its internal troubles, would be a prize
that would be cheaply obtained at any
cost. Tbe possession and control of Nicar
agua, means the control of the Pacific
ocean, in fact, and this fact is so potent
that it needs no explanation. What an inter-oceanic
canal means, ought to be thor
oughly understood by every thinking man
on the Pacific coast.
From Friday' Daily.
There is one U. S. prisoner in the
county jail for selling liquor to Indians.

Mr. Gropper, of Stevenson. Wash.,
lost 97 cords of wood during the recent
heavy rains. These wore forced out of
the boom and drifted down the river.
The graud lodge, Knights of Pythias of
Oregon, which adjourned last night at Hep
poer, shows a wonderful increase in mem
bership, and the prospects ot tbe order were
never brighter.
Mr. H H. Riddell wielded the pencil
during the editor's absence at tbe giand
lodge, K. of P., at Heppner. Any improv
ment in the columns ot the paper during
that time must ba credited to him.
A person just ' arrived from Sherman
county says that threshing is only two
thirds finished, and there is considerable
grain yet to be cut. The wet weather
has damaged wheat to a great extent.
Some members of the grand lodge, K of
P., returning from Heppoer this morning,
went down on the Regulator to Portland.
They wanted to view tbe scenery of the
Columbia riyer, and the trip on the cars
would not afford the opportunity.
Justice Scbutz has had three days' trial
ot a civil case before bim. - The issue he
been joined, and the contest ia now on the
sufficiency ot tbe pleadings, and whether
new matter can be alleged after a succinct
denial of the allegations in the complaint.
The pasturage on thj hills is in a yery
excellent condition, and t'us is encouraging.
Wool haa not realized any appreciable
price, and wheat is very low; but people
must eat you know, and juicy beefsteaks
will aways command a good figure in every
market.
A happy crowd of Knights of Pythias
passed down the road this morning frira
tbe grand lodge recently in session at Hep
pner. Tbey were escorted to the train last
night by tbe brass band, and left the city
of Morrow county with tbeiost kindly
ieelioKS towards its residents.
Mr. Alfred Allea, of Prineville, is in the
city. He drove to Three Mile 450 head of
beef cattle, which he will ship east from
the stockyards of Mr. R. E. Saltmar&he &
Co., of this city. During tbe summer
Omaha has been found to be a good market
for cattle, and there are constant shipments
to that point.
. In boring an artasian well at Pullman,
Wash., the other day, a three foot vein of
coal was struck. Tbe product is pro
nounced, by those wot, know, to be of a
high grade and well worth going after.
The vein was atruck at a depth of only 60
feet, 10 feet above artesian water. There
is now strong talk of organizing a company
to go alter the coal.
A level-headed editor of an exchange
penned the following: "My friend, do not
speak slightly of that man with the bat
tered bat and time-worn clothes. He ia
probably the editor of the home paper,
while the man with the silk hat and well
brushed elothea that passes him 'on the
other side' is the delinquent subscriber.
Appearances are often misleading.'
Moro Observer: J. M. Johns, editor of
the Arlington Record, was united in mar
riage with Mrs. Margaret Biggs, of Le
Roy, Micbig to, at Arlington on the 2nd
mat., by S. G. Hawsoo, justice of tbe peace.
Forty years ago they were lovers, but fate
decreed that they should wait nearly balf a
century before tying the hymeneal knot.
We wish them joy and happiness ad
libitum.
Observer: Sheriff Leslie started for Sa
lem Monday with Thos. Giaert, tbe man
who was convicted of tbe crime of la'ceny
in a dwelling, and sentenced last week by
Judge Bradshaw to two years in the peni
tentiary. Gilbert is tbe first prisoner to go
to the "pen" from Sherman county, but as
be was only transient who happened to be
passing throueh at the ti ne he committed
tbe offense. Sherman county disdains all
connection with bim by virtue of citizen
ship. Tbe Independence West Side editor says
of the state editorial association: "Forty
editors proper attended the meetings, but
a hundred and forty ate at the banquet. The
hangers on in journalism are the ones wbo
make our annual meetinga such a farce.
Next year let no badges be given to those
who do not attend the meetings. Tbe
number of editors may be less, but the pro
fession will be more honorable." Ia refer
ence to this, the Albany Democrat siys:
The men who n.ake themselves the most
conspicuous at the meetings of tbe associa
tion are about as much editor as a Yaqoina
Bay clam.
Yesterday afternoon, at Nansene, while
Mr. Wm. Robinson-was driving the horses
attached to the machinery which propelled
a threshing machine, Portngese Louis ap
proached him in a threatening attitude,
and levelled his revolver at bim. He was
about to shoot when a young man named
Hadley, who was standing close, struok
the weapon, beating it down towards the
ground. This caused its discbarge, tbe
ball passing down the leg of young Hadley'a
pantalooos, but iiflictiog no wound. Mr.
Robinson has rented the farm from Louis,
and it is presumed there was some trouble
between them previous to tbe encounter.
It was a fortunate escape for Mr. Robinson
and also for the yuuog man, as the pistol,
had it been discharged an instant sooner,
would have likely killed the former, and
the latter barely escaped serious woulding.
Guard: An immigrant family with ten
children arrived at tbe Mc-Kenzie bridge
the first of last week from Oklahoma, hav
ing been on the road since tbe middle of
April. The night previous to their arrival
at the bridge tbey camped on the summit of
the Cascades in the snow, with not a bite to
eat. When they arrived at Power's, they
were in a pitiful condition and nearly
starved, and ate raw potatoes readily, not
waiting for a meal to be Cuoked. They
were taken care of by Mr. rowers and
furnished with all the fcod needed, and
they were about the happiest mortals in
the state.
Walla Walla Union: The official meas
urement of the American statej as given by
the United States census bureau show that
there are only seventeen states having a
greater area in square miles than Washing
ton. The figures show Washington to have
twice tbe area of Maine, bye times that of
Maryland, seven times that of New Hamp
shire, seven times that ef Vermont, eight
times that of Massachusetts, nine times
that of Connecticut, thirty-three times that
of Delaware and fiftv-nve times that of
Rhode Island. Tbe area of Walla Walla
county, 1296 square miles, is greater than
that of Rhode Island by 4b square miles.
Reports From La Grande.
East Oregonian.
About ten Chinamen who were allowed
to remain in and about La Grande to settle
up their affairs were last night given a final
notice to leave by a committee of agitators.
Some of these nnfortunato heathen possess
teams and wagons with which they did
their gardening, and have been nnable to
dispose of the property. They are an will
ing to go, and seem disposed to invoke tbe
protection of the law, so that trouble is
possible.
There is some talk at La Grande to the
effect that Chinese incendiaries set fire to
the elevator buildiog, recently destroyed.
It was used as headquarters by the agitators
and the supposition is that the celestials
took this method of getting even. Another
theory is that the agitators may themselves
have accidentally caused the fire by leaving
cigar stumps or matches around the build
ing after one of their meetings.
Within a short distance of the elevator
stood tbe Standard Oil Company's talk con
taining 6000 gallons of petroleum. Had it
caught fire tbe entire city would have suf
fered. It was kept covered with wet
blankets, and the wind fortunately hap
pened to be in the opposite direction.
The elevator contained some 26,000 bush'
els of fine wheat belonging to Conley and
Caviness. About ls.000 bushels will be
suitable for hog feed.
Work at the Looks.
Cascade Locks, Oct. II, 1893.
Editor TmKs-MoiJNTAiKKKR:
The almost incessant rain has kept "Zeb
edee" in a semi-comatose condition for some
time; but he is partially aroused again ow
ing to the appearance of pay day, p.rbaps,
which came on jeiterday, and many hearts
w. re made glad from the fact that they re
ceived cash in band for August checks.
Work goes on apace, bnt is greatly re
tarded by the ram. There would have been
some wall laying before this time had the
rain not fell in torrents and made more
water than the pump could raise. There is
a second pump m place now, an I the two
will soon free the caaal of water.
The new stone shed is not yet roofed, so
the majority of the stone cutters cannot
work: bnt that will soon be remedied, for
there is a force of carpenters at work on it.
J. H. McDonough, formirly of your city
is established here in business, having
bought tb. J. A. Hamilton stora and resi
dence, near the depot, and fitted it into the
finest saloon that there is in town.
T. H. Ward, at one time editor of the
Wasco Cour.tv .Sun, made a flying visit to
this plaoa and the new town of Stevenron a
few days since. It was a surprise to see
him, but I learned from him that he is p ac
tioing law in Portland.
It has been reported that there were some
two or three cases of scarlet fever in the
town, but I think it was a mistake. .
Zebkdeb.
State Military Board.
The state military board has been i.i ses
sion at Salem for the past two days. They
have transacted a considerable amount of
business. The regimental band for tbe
Third regiment, for which a petition was
presented from Tbe Dalles was indefinitely
pigeon-holed. This will doubtless prove a
settler, and it will not be probable that
those wbo petitioned will retain any inter
est in tbe matter for so long a time as it
will now have to wait. Tbe formation of
a new company at The Dalles was author
ized, and the boys will doubtless soon be
mustered in. Another important change
was tbe ruling in relation to examining
boards. Heretofore they have consisted of
three officers, and where there were long
distanoes to be traveled, entailed a consid
erable expense. The new rule permits a de
tail of a single officer. Another important
feature was tbe authorization of the forma
tion of bostipal corps in eaoh regiment.
This will be composed of men specially en
listed for the purpose.
4 Rearing Completion.
The new war ship Oregon is nearing com
pletion. The day is not far distant when
she will be launched in the element where
she will henceforth dwell. Two of the
fairest of Oregon's daughters have been se
lected to press the button that will send
the steel monster speeding dowu into the
waves, and to smash the bottle of wine,
that will endow her with tbe name of one
of the fairest of the states of the union.
The Oregnn is destined for a fighting ship.
She has a very heavy armiment and will
carry the largest guns in the new nayy.
Ths largest guns now in auv U. S. ship, are
the two 12-inch rifle on tbe Monterey; but
the largest of the Oregon will have a 13-
inch bore. She is the first battle ship con
structed on the Pacific coast. Tbe cruiser
Charleston and tbe coast defense vessel.
Monterey, are of western build, and of
equal durability and strength, with those
built at tbe eastern works.

AGRIOTTLTUBAL PAIR,
From Wednesday's Daily.
The day opened cloudy and murky with
a threat of rain. Notwithstanding tbe un
prepossessing weather, a considerable num
ber were in attendance. Tbe exhibits are
still coming in, and bid fair to fill the pa
vilion to its utmost extent. Numbers ot
people are coming into town for tbe purpose
of attending the fair, and many who are in
terested in fast horses come to take in the
races. There are tbe usual number of th
sporting fraternity, who follow np fairs in
order to ply their vocation. The Dalles
band furnishes an sbnndance of good music,
and adds materially to the attractions.
Among the exhibits that have just come
in is a display from the corset factory of
Mr. J. W. Jenkins. The fruit and vege
table exhibits are increasing rapidly. An
excellent collection of apples and various
fruits from the farm ot Mr. Sandoz forms a
conspicous portion of the display. Mr. W,
S. Myers shows a plate of superior quinces.
In the other departments Mrs. Heppner,
collection of oil paintings; Mrs. Bancroft,
some excellent portraits in oil. Mrs.
Shackleford has entered some very fine
specimens of embroidery, and Mrs. Eihel
man and Mrs. L,?wis some very superior
pieces of drawn work: One of the most
unique of the fancy work exhibits is a chair
throw, worked by Miss Ellen Maddron
Tbe flower exhibits of Mrs. Jno. Marden
and Mrs. S. B. Adams are excellent and
speak volumes for the ability to grow su
perior flowers in The Dalles.
The bee exhibits also are very commend
able, a number of patent hives are shown
with glass doors showing the bees at work,
and laying bare the process of making
honey.
Messrs. Robert Kelly and Wm. Sharp
have some very fine exhibits of stock. The
amount of stock is very rapidly increas
ing this afternoon, and from present indica
tions, when the entries are closed in the
morning, there will remain but very little
space to be filled.
The poultry exhibit is very limited, there
being but a few coops of fowls, which look
rather lonesome, placed off by themselves.
The races are snpposed to be the chief at
traction; bnt up nntit a late hour to-day,
the track was deserted.
From Thursdays Daily.
The day opened out bright and clear, and
by noon the warm sun and pleasant air ren
dered all very favorable for the special day,
it being ladies' day. Most of the business
houses closed for tbe afternoon to enable
their employees to attend the fair, and tbe
streets presented a deserted appearance.
Early in the afternoon The Dalles band
discoursed some excellent music on tbe cor
ner of Court and Second streets, and then
took their departure for the fair grounds to
add eniivenment to tbe scene.
The Lumber of the fair sex who attended
the grounds during the afternoon was much
greater than at any time yet, and it being
tbe day for some of tbe best ot the races
the greater portion of the town's population
was out.
The exhibits increased largely yesterday
afternoon, principally in tho stock and frmt
departments, and there are now horses and
cattle that would do credit to any fair or
stock show.
In the paviiion also many new exhibits
are to be seen, notable among these is tbe
collection of photographs taken and entered
by Miss Lang
At the fair grounds yesterday afternoon,
tbe principal event was, the three-eights'
mile dash and repeat. Tbe horses entered
were Champagne, Rockland Boy, Sirretta
and Little Joe. The race was a very pretty
one, and was obser ved by an enthusiastic con
course of lookers on, The race was won by
Rockland Boy, time 39 seconds.
A number of the best races of the season
were to take place this afternoon; but owing
to the lateness of the hour, and the . delays
in getting the horses cut we were unable to
get tbe reports in time.
From Friday's Daily.
To day was children's day. All school
children were admitted free, and the little
ones made the most of tbe opportunity.
The various committee were busily en
gaged all day in awarding premiums, and
blue and red ribbons are prominently show
ing on the various exhibits.
The music was excellent, and formed no
small part of the afternoon's enjoytcent.
The races to-day were a pony dash of

entire heat, and was an easy winner in 53
seconds.

parade will take place. This will be one of
the chief events of the fair.
Collins-Brooks Nuptials.
From Thuarday's Daily.
Last evening in response to the numerous
invitations a large concourse of people, that
filled the First Methodist church to its ut
most capacity, gathered to witness the mar
riage of Miss Iva C. Brooks to Mr. E. J.
Collins. The burch was very handsomely
decorated; a prolnsion of cut flowers and
potted plants banked np the choir rail, and
a magnificent arch of Virginia creeper hung
with floral wedding bells and with a white
dove suspended in the center was ereoted
over the altar.
Precisely at 9 o'clock the organ' pealed
out the strains of the Lohengrin Wedding
March and the bridal party entered, headed
by tbe groomsman, H. H. Riddell, followed
by the ushers, Messrs. N. J. Sinnott and J.
S. Winzler; then came the two bridesmaids ,
Miss Henricbsen, of Poitland, and Miss
Aubnrn Story. These were followed by the
little maids of honor, Anna Pentland and
Zipporah Harris, and at the last came the
bride leaning on the arm of her father Mr.
E. S. Brooks. The party were met at the
altar by the groom and his best man, Mr.
Fritz W. Wilson, and at the same time the
pastor. Rev. J. Whisler, appeared. The
party grouped themselves about the altar,
while the minister pronounced tbe beautiful
and impressive marriage service of the
Methodist ritual. At the close ot tbe cere
mony the newly wedded couple proceeded
down tbe left aisle to the strains of the
beantiful Mendelssohn wedding march, fol
lowed by the maids of honor, then the
bridesmaids and groomsmen with tbe ushers
bringing np tbe rear. The music furnished
by Mrs. J. W. Condon on the vocation or
gan was grand and impressive.
The bride was dressed in a white silk, ont
en traine, trimmed with seed pearls. The
corsage was ornamented with white lace,
bride roses and smilax. Her veil was of
silk moliene and held in place by a bnnch
of bride rosea. It fell in graceful folds to
her feet. She carried a large cluster of
hile roses. Tbe little maids of honor were
dressed in pink silkWatteau gowns, trimmed
with cream lace and pink ribbons. They
carried baskets of pink and , white Toses.
Miss Henricbsen wore a rich cream erepon
dress, trimmed in white lace and satin rib
bon. She carried a bouquet of white ane
mone and lemon verbena. Miss Auburn
Story wore a pale blue India silk, profusely
trimmed with white lace. She carried a
bouquet of pink roses, ' The groom and
groomsmen were dressed in conventional
black.
At the completion of tbe ceremony the
bridal party repaired to the residence ot
Mr. S. L. brooks, the bride's uncle, where
refreshments were served.
Mr. and Mrs. Collins were the recipients
of many beautiful and costly presents, to
enumerate which would be beyond our
space. They received numbers of congrat
ulatory telegrams last evening from friends
who were unable to be present.
It was a delightful experience to all who
were present. The Times Mountaineer
extends its heartiest congratulations to the
young couple and wishes them unalloyed
happiness.
The Grand Lodge E. of F. at Heppner.
Every member of tbe grand lodge, who
has attended the session at Heppner, speaks
in the most complimentary terms ot the
manner of their entertainment. It was ex
pected that the little city in the bnncbgrass
hills of Eastern Oregon, wonld display com'
mendable qualities in making the visit of
the Knights pleasant and profitable; but
expectations were completely eclipsed and
overshadowed in the treatment received.
and every lady and gentleman, apparently,
constituted himself and herself a committee
of one to extend a generous, cbivalric wel
come to the visitors. Not only the freedom
of the city was extended to the grand body,
but everything possible for the enjoyment
of the guests was done in a liberal and
princely manner, and as entertainers, in the
knightly meaning of the word, tbe citizens
of Heppner are, in the highest sense, of
blood royal and "to the manner born
parties and banquets were of daily occur
rence, and these would bave done honor to
any metropolitan community. Where each
exerted his and her best endeavors to make
the sojourn agreeable, any discrimination
would almost appear invidious, but among
those prominent in the list should be men
tioned the Pythian Sisters of Doric temple,
members of Doric lodge, K. ot f., the ex
cellent brass band, Senator Black man, Mr.
and Mis. Otis Patterson, Mr. A. W. Patter
son, Mr. and Mrs. H. McFarland and others
whose names we conld not learn. In Eastern
Oregon, there ia a generosity in the land
scape, lu the sunshine, in tne broad stretch
of plains and mountains, and tbe hearts and
impulses of the inhabitants are patterned
after the same liberal plan. Heppner may
be a little bnncbgrass town, but the resi
dents, in those qualities which cause sun
shine to dispel gloom in human feelings and
nnite in bonds of indissoluble fellowship in
dividuals to their neighbors, give evidence
of beirg molded after the largest pattern
n years to come, the chivalry displayed by
Heppner towards the grand lodge, Knights
of Pythias of Oregon, will be a model which
other cities will, attempt to follow.
Yesterday's Eaoea.
In the half mile dash and repeat three
heats were run. It was a most exciting
race, and considerable time was occupied in
obtaining a start. Rockland Boy won the
first heat. The second heat was as spirited
as the first, and at the finish grew exciting
as Little Joe came out first. On the third
heat the excitement became intense, and all
were anxiously awaiting tbe outcome. Tbe
horses came into the home stretch, each do
ing its best, and came under the wire, every
muscle of each horse being terse with de
termined effort, with Rockland Boy in the
lead. Time, 52 Beconds.
The cbief race of the day was that of
gentlemen's roadsters. The horses entered
were M. A. Moody's Pet, J. S. Schenk'a
Pearl Knox, J. P. Mcloerny's John Day,
Robt. Mays' jr., Bonner and John Rhodes'
John L. The purse for the winner was $50.
Each man drove his own horse. The race
was a half mile, and three beats were
trotted. This was tbe event of the after
noon, and was c'osely attended by all who
conld get time to be present. Tbe interest
manifested was very great, and as the start
was made the excitement grew. Tbe horses :
came under the wire neck and neck, with
John Day in tbe lead. The second and third
heats were also won by Mr. Mclnerny, who
was given tbe race. The time was 1:31.
There was considerable discontent mani
fested over a fault in the start, which plaeed
Mr. Moody at a disadvantage, but he did not
enter a protest, although be had good cause
for grievance.
An Important Deoision.
N. Y. Journal of Commerce.
"Trade names and things that are 'just as
good.' " In a suit over the nse of a distinc
tive name tor the designation of a variety of
underwear, Judge Gildersleeve rendered a
decision that went far enough to protect
the manufacturer and consumer from a
dealer's fraud.
Few of a merchant's customers are ex
perts who can tell whether they are being
imposed on or not. Tbey haye learned to ask
for goods by a special designating title.
The dealer who sells them something else
under that name is committing a fraud on
them.
The retail stores are full ot imitation ar
ticles which the dealer does not hestitate
to assure bis customer are "juBt as good"
as tbe thing asked for. Every customer
will nse his own judgment about believing
this, and most of the customers understand
that tbe dealer wbo tries to sell something
else that is "just as good" is really indiffer
ent to the quality and ia only alive to the
larger margin of profit on an inferior ar
ticle. Wben a dealer makes and sells clothing
of cotton and wool mixed under a name
universally understood to designate clothing
of wool alone, he is not only committing a
fraud on the customer, but he is eommit
ting a double fraud on tbe inventor or man
ufacturer of the article called for.
It Counts.
Tasty, jndicions advertising certainly
pays, says an exchange. The merchant
who will show care in the preparation of
his announcements will be snre to receive
satisfactory results. When a merchant
does not advertise it is a sore sign that be
is indolent and does not care to reach out
for trade. When one stops advertising
there is evidence that he ha done it so
poorly that he is no longer in the race for
pnblic patronage. Judicious advertising
is to business what oil is to machinery.
Without it, success is impossible. Two
per cent, ot gross receipts can be safely
spent in advertising and it will prove a
good investment. Of course, money can
be wasted in advertising; so can fools
drown themselves, but the man who can
not successfully advertise cannot hope for
success in business In this day of close
margins, quick sales, scarce moneys and
nineteenth century methods. The busi
ness man of to-day most be alert, quick
witted and thoroughly alive, and "print
er's ink" judiciously applied is aa neces
sary to this as pure air is to health, to be
successful in modern business lite.
Thud Begiment Botes.
S. Collins, of Arlington, has been com
missioned first lieutenant and regimental
signal officer.
' The commissions of Capt. Isidor Fnchs
and Lieut W. H. Ellis of F Co. passed
through the regimental headquarters a
day or so since.
The state military board is now in ses
sion at Salem. Several matters are pend
ing that are of interest to the Third regi
ment district, among these are the regi
mental band and the organization of sev
eral new companies. This will soon give
the Third regiment its full complement
of companies.
The new uniforms for the O. N. G. boys
are being turned out by J. M. Moyer &
Co', as rapidly as possible. They are fur
Dishing a very superior article and are a
great improvement over the old uniforms,
which were procurred in the east.
Cornucopia Gold,
Baker Democrat.
The success attending the operation of
the Red Jacket mine and mill at Cornn
copia, under the management of Mr. I. R
Farrell in the employ of the Oregon Gold
Mining Company, of Louisville, Ky- is
certainly a matter of pride and satisfac
tion to the people of Baker and Union
counties, and demonstrates what can be
accomplished in mining in this section of
country when the right men are put in
the right place and common sense is
displayed. Ths Red Jacket mine is only
one of many properties that can be made
to pay handsome dividends if properly
managed.
On Sunday last Mr. Farrell arrived in
Baiter City with another cleanup of $6000
or more which he deposited at the First
National Bank for shipment east. Mr
Farrell was met by a reporter to whom
the gentleman stated that he thought he
would be able to keep the mine and mill
In operation until January, at which time
he was of the opinion he would be com
pelled to close down until March owing
to the deep snow, necessitating the taking
down of the tramway between the mine
and mill as a measure of economy to pre
vent its destitution by snow slides. Mr.
Farrell is very hopeful of results the com
ing year and predicts a large monthly out
put. A TIRED WOMAN,
just as much as a
sick and ailing one,

Favorite Prescrip
tion. That builds up,

motes all the proper

hood, inmroves diges

refreshing sleep, and restores health and

It's a powerful restorative tonic and sooth
ing nervine, made especially for woman's
needs, and the only guaranteed remedy for
woman's weaknesses and ailments. In all
'female eomrjlaints " and irregularities, if it
ever fails to benefit or cure, you have your
