parties have been parsing off Confederate
bills for United Stales 'money, and have
succeeded in victimizing some people.
As the Confederate bills rxe genuine ill re
is no law that will reach tbe party who is
guilty of passing them.
Notwithstanding the fact that only a

Prineville Ntmt: Some time ago The

notice to tbe effect that Charles Crain, u
married manj was sent from this county
to the penitentiary. Now there happens,
to be a Charles Crain here, he never was'

President Jordon of Stanford Univer
. sity says: "Football is action. It is gen
t nine., It makes decision of character. It
Is an antidote to the. maladies of dilet-
tantiam and pessimism which are said to
afflict the end of a century. Football is
not a 'ladylike' .game. It is not a pits time
lor afternoon teas, it is a manly game,
and so long as it is manly it is the best
antidote to its own evils." . t
Sunday's Oregonlan : Tbe report of tbe
indictment against C. E. Lorkwood, pub
lisbed in yesterday's Oregonian, was in-
, correct. Mr. Lock wood was not indicted
, for perjury, nor for representing himself

government while he held the position of

! acre of the more than 250,000 acres of
school lands embraced in the Cascade
reservation has been used, or will be used
while I am governor as a basis for lieu
lands. I shall again ask the legislature
to raise tbe price of lieu lands from $1.25
to $2.50 per acre, which if dane will pre
vent speculation and add over a quarter
of a million to the school fund."

Baker City Democrat : Mr. Dan McKay,
who has just returned from a visit to
Shoshone falls, has placed on exhibition
at the Hotel V arshauer the jaw of an
American elephant, so pronounced by
, Professor Henry Montgomery, of the Salt
Lake University. The remains ot this
mastodon were unearthed in tbe Blue
Lake gravel mines, about five miles from
nboshone Falls on Snake river, last May.
Mr. McKay ears the remains would fill
an ordinary freight car.
Mr. J. H. Phirman, deputy sheriff, re
turned on the train at 1 o'clock this after
- noon from Seattle, Wash., bringing with
Ed. Henderson, who . was arrested there a
few days ago lor an offenae committed in
. Wasco county last spiiog, and was held in
that city pending the arrival of an officer
rora The Dalles. A deputy-sheriff from
Douglas county, Wash., in company with
Mr. Jackson, of this city, attempted bis
arrest at Tygh valley, and in resisting Hen
derson fired at the officers. This is the
charge against bim, and for which he must
answer before the court! of this county.
- We were shown a model this morning
of a wagon for dumping dirt or Btone,
which opens in the center of tbe boitora
of tbe bed, and for which Mr. W. T. Hat
ton, of Warm Springs, has received a
patent from the government. It is a very
simple arrangement, worked by a lever
like an ordinary brake, and will empty a
' wagon bed ot dirt, debris or stone, in
half the time than by the old meibod.
We are of the opinion that if this im
provement was generally kcown wagons
with this attachment would find quick
and ready sale. i
Ashland Timet: Louis Rees, a pioneer
resident of Eagle Point precinct, was found
dead one day last week by a neighbor, Mrs.
J. H. Caton, wbo went to borrow a sausage
grinder. He had evidently been dead some
' time. The body had several marks of vio
lence on it, which went to show that Rees
bad been gored by bis bull whiob was
known to be a vicious animal. A coroner's
inquest was held at J a verdict returned in
accordance with the above tact. Mr. Rees
was about 65 years of age and highly re
spected bv all who knew him. The bull
waa afterward shot and killed to prevent
m doing farther mischief.
Washington Farmer: Our own slate f
Washington baa made an appropriation
of f 10,000 toward, permanent state fair
grounds and improvements at North
Yakima, and great preparations are being
made for the first state tair in this com
monwealth. If California wishes to ad
vertise her curios, the best way for her to
do it would be to gracefully give up her
midwinter fair and take ber exhibits to
the Washington state fair next September.
Now that it is known that the exhibit
from Washington at Chicago, was, to say
the least, very unsatisfactory, it is be-
lieveU that it wonld have been much more
in line with common sense, for the state
to have appropriated the $ 150,000 wasted
at Chicago to the Washington' state fair.
rjogene Vward: Alex, uavi one day
last week crossed the Caicade tnouotaius
via the McKeDZie route. He left the other
side of the mountains early in the morniutf
on mow shoes and traveled all dav and the
following night before reaching bare ground
on this side of the ranee of mountains
The trip was a hazardous one as he was ail
aloud and this was his brst experience on
snow shoes. Luckily it did not storm on
the summit of the mountains that particu
lar night. Mr. Davis informs ns that the
now extends about 16 miles and cn the
summit it was about rive feet deep. Tie
snow cnmmencrs about fifteen miles eat of
the MuKei zie wagon bridge at Frizzlt's.

Minister, Steven, who ha represented
this government at Honolulu for eight years,
is a personal friend of Col. T. S Lang, of
this citv, and within a few days has written
him in regard to the action of American
troops in th late Hawaiian revolution. We

but refused to take any action except to
protect American citizens and property. -
We lead to-day n the Altakapo Vindi
cator, published at Franklin, Louiaaca, the
county seat of St Mary's countv, and the
banner sugar-producing county ot that
state: "Tha if the reform tariff bill of
Wilson is a Democratic measure of the nine
teenth century, especially, free sugar, their
specialty, it la a serious mistake when it
fulled to kill the priLciples ot that party
deader than damnation at the ballot-box on
tbe last election. If our p ip'e are to he
reduced to beggary and their business
slaughtered by the band that should protect
them." . . -

erty of the state is about one hundred and
seventy millions.

East Oregonian: ' Three young banters.
Will Line and Orville and Walter Cayiness,
are comfortably installed for the winter in a
cabin in tbe Caviness place in tbe John Day
mouutains. A letter from Lane states that
they are enjoying great sport, deer being
exceptionally plentiful. One day a large
baud of them rau past the cabin, but the
boy 8 were doubtless a trifle flurried and did
not have time to shoot. Next day, bow
ever, they went . hunting and brought four
deer into camp. A wild cat treed by the
dogs was killed witbin twenty-five yards of
the cabin, and a poruupiue also met death

We have been boasting a good deal about
the number of world's fair medals received
by Oregcniaos. The following takes a good
deal of the value out of them, and indicates
that they are somewhat of a farce, unless
actually first premiums: John Boyd That

world's tair awards will be cut from .
70,000 to 26.000 Ia the first place,
there is nut money enough to pay for
all the medals, and iu the secoud
no value is attached to the medals
because nearly every exhibition was
awarded one.- There were 90,000 ex

Haviug read a copy of a letter represent
ing our wool interest in Eastern Oregon,
written by Col. Lang of this, city and di
rected to Congressman Ellis, we asked the
Drivilese of cooving it that our readers
may see the extent of this industry in East
era Oregon:
Hon. William R. Ellis. House of Represen
taUves. Washington, D. C:
Dear Sib: A one of your constituents
allow me to thank you for your action favor
ing the extension of time tor the payment
of dues npon our railway lands. Tne pass
age of that bill will be a blessing to msny
ho are trvins hard to make homes for
themselves aud families in this highland re
gion.
I also offer you a representation of our
wool irrowine industry, and beg leave to
express with regret tbe feeling of gloom
which seem- to thoroughly prevail among a
large portion of the -ettlers who came in
upon these highland pleareaus ami mountain
sides.and made homes upon finds not suited
to diversified farming, but excellent for
sheep husbandry. The withdrawal of pro
tection from wool growiog, bv allowing the
admission of foreign grown wool fr-e of
duty, anil rite inability of shepherds to dis
pose of their last year's product, which, in
this E.S'ern Oregon valley, amounts to 23,-
500.000 pounds, not only spread distress,
bat paints the future of this heretofore
prosperous industry, wnicn is lar greater
than all else here, with the most distressing
uncertainty.

a climate unsuited to varied agriculture,
but splendid for sheep grazing and the pro
duction of the finest mutton.
Their business, I assure you, was very
prosperous, as I will show you. Some of
these men, nsy most of them, came here
and entered upon this national industry
without capital, ai d some of them have
five, eight, tea and twelve thousand
sheep, and have established home ranches
and improvements all over an area of forty
to fifty thousand equare miles, bringing
civilization, school houses, churches, vil
lages, mills, and comtor: and happiness.

in the economic policy of the government

trying to sell their shei;p at $1. and in some
oases at 70 cenis per head. ' When I came
here twenty years since, there verw in this
immense great mountain harin but 21.000
sheep that sheared only 5 pounds of wool
each List year (1892) we sheared 23.000,
000 pounds of w io 1 from sheep that yielded
7 to 8J pounds each, upon tbe great ranges
almost all in sight of this locality. The
physical .'character of the sheep has been
much improved for mutton, consequently of
the fibre.
You will please bear in mind that -this
great iudustry now forced to compete with
Australia, Cape of G'tod Hope, Buenos
Ayers, etc., is here in E is tern Oregon, dis
tributed all over the land, and is, or has
been, a blessing to all of tbe people, bring

have taken in aidressiog you, 1 want to be
allowed to present facts, to convince you of
the calamity we feel awaits us in removing
the tariff now upon foreign wool.

I am not abl6 to hand you the wool re
ceipts lor Baker City, La Grande and other
posts in your district, bat yoa may rely
upon the number ot sheep returned, that
the district you represent has produced
this year, 24,000.000 pounds of wool. By
the price I have given yoa as that paid last
year, 1892, at the producer's home market,
and that received this year, being less than
halt as much, and mutton being only worth
one third as much as in 1892, -leaves no fu
ture here for wool growers if the tariff upon
foreign wool is removed. Such action by
congress will virtually stop the progress of
11 tbe population in this immense grazing
kingdom. I hope you will not think I write
at random. Until I came here I was a wool
manufacturer, and waa engaged in handling
tbe wool of all countries that was on the
market, and, as a fair judge I am proud of
what my neighbors have done in establish
ing here on American soil, the best kind of
sheep breeding, and systematically feeding
their sheep so as to produce a tine, long,
strong-tibered wool. Eight and one-half
pounds ot wool on fat, well feed sheep, is
what intelligence among these high mount
ain shepherds has dune, instead of shearing
only five pounds and a baif tbe old average
here. All of tbis wool has a splendid felt
log fibre, and, although grown 3000 to 7000"
feet above the ocean, has no tender spot in
'the fibre for the dry days ot July and Aug
uat. .The Oregon wool grower waa
proud of his success, but it is unfortu
nate that political success demands that a
political party shall break down such an in
dustry, and discourage such a splendid set
of men and their families and for tbe sake
of political ascendency give these estab
lished privelegea to great united masses of
capital which control semi civilized sheep
ranges of other countries. This. act to re- 1
move protection to American wool growers
will directly and indirectly seriously injure
25,000 men, women and children in these
highlands who under Republican economy
found comfort aod plenty at their own
"door sill."
I am respectfully yonr friend,

"Shiverees" are disgraceful affairs; bat
is not olten they terminate fatally. Such a
case though it is possible hss occurred at
Milton. The East Oregonian says: Fred
Brannin, the 19 year old son of K. C.
Branniu, and nephew of County Assessor
Brannin was shoe and probably fatally in
jured with a shot gun loaded with powder
and felt wsds in the hands of young Lem
Graham at Milton recently, lhe young
men were members of a party who went
to charivari a newly married couple, and
formed in a procession. It is related that
Graham tried unsuccessful several times
te crowd Brannin out of bis place in tbe
ranks, and after one of these attempts the
shooting occurred. The hard wads entered
Brannio's right hip, and inflicted a very
serious wound, .both young men were
armed with shot guns loaded with powder
and wads. It is claimed by Graham that
lhe shooting was accidental, and tbe case
has not yet been investigated. A letter
received by Mr. Brannin this morning from
Milton states that hia nephew's ooodition is
very dangerous.
A Honeymoon Incident.
A well known local carpenter tells
a story tnat is intended as a good
joke on his wife. "When they were
married, they rented apartments in a
block, the rear of which over'ooked
one of tne rivers, ana among tne
wife's earliest culinary efforts was a
tatch of bread. The young husband
sampled his wife's contribution to
the world's stock of the "staff of
life," and arising from the table
playfully remarked:
"My dear, cast your bread npon
the waters."
The wife took offense at the injunc
tion, and as her husband left the
house she firing the remaining loaf
out of the window into the river. It
struck a passing boat, crashing
through the bottom and sinking in
the water's murky depths. The next
she knew the boatman, dripping wet,
made a tour of the block, bent on dis
covering who dumped the hod of
brick into his craft. Binghamton

Just a few years ago a sharp nosed,
bright eyed young man used to haunt
the secondhand book stores of this

bookseller whom he found reading
an interesting story by informing
him that he was the author of it
One day he disappeared, and later it
was reported that he was writing for

On one occasion Bishop Brooks re
ceived a letter from a man in New
York saying, "Will you please send
me a list of all the publications in
yohr diocese f On receiving it the
bishop did not even smile at the ab
surdity of the request or seemed an
noyed that a man should trouble him
upon such a simple matter. He ac
cepted it as something to fulfill
"Do you triinTr you can find what
this man wants??' said he to his sec
retary.
"I guess so," came the reply, and
the secretary, who knew the noble
hearted bishop so well, spent half the
night completing the -task. Boston

Some Other Man.
"Hello, Joel cried a youtn on
Broadway yesterday as he slapped a

he continued as in response to the
blow the other turned his head and
revealed an unfamiliar face.
"Took you for another man, you
know, he added by way of an apology-
-
"And so I am anotner man," re
plied the stranger laconically' as with
a shrug of the shoulders he struck
across the street, leaving the young
man to wonder how he should have
framed a more effectual apology.

THE STORY OF A DOG.
A Bright Little Canine Was Befriended by
an Athletic Young Woman.
The other day a well dressed man
and woman were walking in one of
the up town streets. Attention was
attracted to them by the antics of a
blue Skye which capered from one
side to the other, leaping at their
neels in the most extravagant spirit.
Not long after some boys were teas
ing a uog in an area. A young wo
man, whose- heart goes out to all the
things that have four legs and caunot
talk, put on her hat and jacket and
went to the rescue. It was the same
dog, now lying in an evident stupor.
The young woman picked up the dog
ana carried it to tne apple woman at
the corner, whom she bribed to take
care of it
The dog revived and won the apple
woman's heart. She took him to the
stand every day, where he kept sen
try and warned off the boys. His
funny capers and cheerful spirits
made him known to everybody in the
neighborhood. He became the espe
cial friend of the athletic young men
whose training ground is back of the
old woman s apple stand, where they
let him m for a fine run.
On Sunday evening he darted across
the street with a bark of joy to an
approaching couple. He leaped at
their sides, he tugged at their clothes
with every expression of a dog's de
light "Why, it's Bruno I" they ex
claimed, and at the sound of his name
the dog leaped higher than before.
You see," said the woman, "he was
our dog. We were fond of him, but
he would chew up things. " "When
he chewed up a young lady's $7 bon
net and we had to pay for it," added
the man, "we felt we must get rid of
him," resumed the woman, "so we
fed him on biscuit soaked in whisky
until he was drunk ; then we took
him out to walk so we could lose him. "
'No, we don't want him any more,"
said the man. "Yes, he is very fond
of us: goodby, Bruno," and this
couple of amiable heathens pas
on. Bruno has been stolen now, and
the apple woman, the athletes and
the neighborhood mourn. New York
Evening Sun.
Invalids and Gambling.
Too many invalids are given to
gambling for the purpose of amuse
ment or pastime. Those who visit
Florida, Colorado or California on
account of climate, who leave home.
friends and business on account of
their health, who have' anxious
friends, or probably some relatives,
who are hoping for all or some bene
fit from the change, cannot defeat '
the object of their trip in any more
certain way than by a resort to gam
ing. No food, stimulant or rest can
replace the lost nervous energy ex
pended in this pastime. It tells on
the cool and imperturbable as well as
on the nervous and easily troset.
We have often seen pulmonary in
valids coming west for climatic bene
fit who slept all morning with closed
windows and tightly drawn blinds
that, by the exclusion of sounds and
light, they might make up during
the day for the rest lost during the
night a night often in a close' room
with burning gas lamps, and, as is
generally the case, so small that
what fresh air it may contain would
hardly suffice for one man. The
deadly effects of these conditions,
added to the nervous injury incident
to gambling, are sufficient to wreck
a previously well and hearty consti
tution. An invalid may be said to
about destroy what little chance he
may have by following gambling for
pastime. National Popular Review.
Infected Hotels.
A well known physician recently
published an account of the experi
ence of a patient at a so called health
resort, uere is a pare oi tne story:
"The patient in question was suf
fering only from overwork; his fam
ily history was clear, and there was
no tuberculosis to be traced in his im
mediate kin or among his ancestors.
He went to a health resort at a high
altitude to recuperate. He boarded
at a hotel in which numerous con
sumptives were coughing and expec
torating; four months afterward he
developed tuberculosis and now has
a typical case of pulmonary phthi
sis. The unfortunate condition of
these resorts is that there is, as a
rule, no system of disinfection of the
rooms, verandas, hallways, etc.
"The patients are allowed in most
hotels to expectorate where they
choose, without restriction. The re
sult is that germs are scattered broad
cast in the buildings and outside of
the grounds. They become dry and
are scattered in the air and inhaled
by those exposed. Thus a health re
sort which in the beginning may
have been very effective m combat
ting consumption becomes after a
time a veritable center of infection."
A Coal lllne In China.
The coal mines at Wang-ean-shih
are very interesting. There are here
three seams of 24 feet, 3 feet and 14
feet, which are at an angle of 50 de
grees, nearly due south. A perpen
dicular shaft has been sunk 106 feet
with no fault. The first 25 feet were
through alluvium, thence through
1 quartzite and a few bands of shale in
quartzite: The shaft is being deep
ened at the rate of four inches per
hour. Wang-sanshih is only three
miles from the line of railway and
six miles from the iron mines. In
summer a creek comes within half a
mile of the works, and it was up this
that the heavy machinery was
brought to the mines by the follow
ing ingenious process:
A raft drawing only an inch to the
ton was constructed, and, the ma
chinery being shipped, was dragged
up the creek till it grounded. Then
a dam was built behind which caused
it to float, and this was successively
and successfully done until the ma
chinery was got to within a half a
mile of the mines. Hand porterage
took it the rest of tho way. Inven

A Harrow Escape For Butler.
It is not generally known that Oli
ver Stevens, the present district at
torney, once saved General Butler's
life. It was at the Charleston con
vention, more than 30 years ago.
General Butler's course in the con
vention had been conspicuously bold
and courageous, and his antagonism
to certain elements had been notice
ably unrelenting. Jack Cavanagh, a
well known figure at conventions and
caucuses in those days, after many
bloody threats, finally one evening
loaded up his revolver and himself
and made for General Butler's quar
ters, fie would have found the gen
eral unprepared and unable to defend
frimgftlf, and he undoubtedly would
have shot him, but Oliver Stevens
intercepted Jack and spirited him
away and at the same time sent word
to General Butler. Boston Globe.
