much interest in the . effort to have
the order of the interior department
closing the Cascade timber reserve to
the ranging of stock rescinded, was in

Jt there is any one citisen of The

of the city -more Mian another, it is
Mr. Max Vogt. " In the great fire of
1892 hundreds of -thousands of . dol
lars of his property went - up in
smoke. He sustained a loss that would
have disheartened a less enterprising
citizen and caused him to have
gathered his belongings together and
. migrated to some more favored locality:
: . but Mr. Vogt is not composedjof ,the
kind of mettle that surrenders to ad
versity, and is today again 'expending
thousands of. dollars rebuilding his
. property and adding to the wealth of
the city.' ... ... ... )
This morning a reporter of The
; Times-Mountaineer was shown
through the mammoth establishment
of Mays & Crowe, which is one of the
substantial firms of this city, and in
fact one of the largest dealers in hard
ware, agricultural implements, etc, to
' be found in any of the Inland cities on
; the coast. The firm has lately erected
s large warehouse back of their store,
which is used for housing their Im
mense stock of wagons, buggies etc.,
and some idea of the magnitude of
business done by the firm can -be
- gained from the stock they are receiv
ing. Ninety tons of barbed wire, a car
load of buggies and a car load
Of

A Protestant Irish-American Protests
Against the Doctrines and Methods
of A. P. Alsm and Defies It
to "Lay on McDunV
The following newspaper article has
been printed in the form of a small
poster and is being secretly circulated
in this city by the members of the A.
P. A. It is precisely what they say it
is. It was written by me and pub
lished as an editoral in my own paper,
under my own signature. I haye never
been ashamed of it, believing when I
wrote it and believing still that it is
a timely, truthful and manly protest
against the methods and doctrines of a
most pernicious-brood of religio-polit-ical
jackals who delight in moral car
rion and darkness. The article has,
at least, one virtue which these "Pro
fessional American Citizens," as some
one has facetitiously dubbed them,
have never learned; it is American in
every; dot and syllable. What The
Dalles A. P. A.'s hope to accomplish
by its circulation is, I am sure, more
than I can tell; but presuming that, as
usual, they are inspired by prescrip
tive bigotry against any one who has
the temerity to oppose them and that
the intent is to work me a personal in
jury, I request the publication of the
article in the Times-Mountaineer in
something of the spirit of the old-time
knight-errant when he threw his
gauntlet at the feet of his assailant and
defied him to "lay on." However
crude and feeble the article may be,
the principles that inspired its compo
sition will exist as long as the consti
tution of the United State, nay, as long
as Christianity itself. They, will be
honored and respected - when A. P.
Aism, like its know-nothing ancestor,
shall have perished in its own putrid
ity and been consigned to a forgotten
and dishonored grave.
Hugh Gourlay
the a. p. a. propaganda.
Two missionaries of the A. P. A.
propaganda are billed to speak in this
county within the next few days, one
in this city and the other in Center
ville. . The one who lectures here an
nounces himself as the state organizer
of the . P. A. His subject is Religi
ous Liberty vs. Romanism, and he ral
lies his hearers by a four line slogan
that intimates that the wicked Catho
lics are conspiring to tear to the
ground "the little red school house,
the gift of a nation so grand and so
true," metaphorically tearing his hair
the while, and vowing before high
heaven that he is going to "stand by,"
and "pray" and "fight" (with his
mouth), for this little piece of fed
architecture presumably as long as the
A. P. A. funds hold, out or a fat fee is
in prospect for organizing a lodge of
charter members, or the ancient order
of damphools continue to attend and ap
plaud his efforts to beget strife and
hatred among the members of one com
mon political and national brother
hood.
The gentleman who lectures at Cen
terville is less fastidious in the title of
his lecture. It is in fact obscene,
blackguard. Of course "American
Free Schools are threatened" and
"Startling Facts" are promised that
will show that the whole Catholic
hierarchy and people spend their lime
in nothing else but hatching hellish
schemes for wiping our entire educa
tional system out oi existence; tnat
the pope, who seems to be minding his
own business about as well as anybody
we wot of, is actually conspiring to be
president of the United States, or
something, and worse still, that the
great and good Grover himself is either
a Catholic in disguise or in the pay of
the pope, for "eighty per cent of the
employes of the White House are
Catholics." Maliciously and villain
ously false as all this is it might
pass as the vaporings of a diseased
imagination were it not that
this reverend brother promises to
become the very gutter-snipe and ped
dler of salacity by dragging from the
nasty depths of his lecherous imagina
tion "6000 infant skulls" as silent wit
nesses of priestly concupisence and "a
priest who destroyed the purity of pa
girls." . And these are the dirty wares
that this Oregon adventurer would
peddle before the decent people of
Centerville at the prise of a 25 cent ad
mission fee. Let him speak by all
means, for .the law guarantees him this
right, but let it be , to empty benches.
No decent ', self-respecting American
citizen ought to encourage a propa
ganda that has for its: sole ob
ject the deprivation of a worthy
and loyal body of fellow citizens of
the rights guaranteed by the constitu
tion. ' No intelligent person believes
that Catholicism is seeking the over
throw of our free school- system. It is
a base, , lying fabrication. No intelli
gent person believes that the pope is
seeding to rule tnis country. iia
mission is religious, not political
Whatever other popes might have
done in an age when Protestants and
Catholics alike were given to religious
proscription thepresent pope and the
whole American Catholic hierarchy
have proven- by every reasonable test
that they are friendly to American in
stitutions. If it were otherwise there
are tens of thousands of American
Catholics who would not hesitate for a
moment to tell them as the great O'CoD'
nell did: "We take our religion from
Rome but we allow no pope' or priest
to dictate pur politics."
The editor of the Republican is not
a Catholic and never expects to be. 1 1f
he writes strongly on this subject it is
only because he has seen with his own
eyes for many years the miserable
effect of religious hate, and bigotry in
his native land. Born and reared to
mature manhood in the very heart and
hotbed of Orangeism in the north of
Ireland, he has had opportunities such
as fall to the lot of few American citi
zens of judging this wretched Upas
tree by its fruit.. Orangeism, which is
the parent of A. P. Aism, Is the child
of English Protestant ascendancy and
has no business on this side the water
where a nation is founded on the basic
principle of civil and religious liberty
to every man who treads .American
soil. Orangeism has cursed Ireland
by inciting and fomenting strife and
hatred and every fiendish passion in
the category of human depravity, A-
P. Aism is capable of doing the same
here. Religio-poUtlcai lectures like
those we are commenting on are the
sowing of dragon's teeth that will
spring up in serrate ranks of armed
demons to rend and destroy. We are
not questioning the right, nay the
duty, of those whose business it may
be - to expose religious error. : We
affirm that, right, but it is no part of
the business of an American citizen as
such. ; What we denounoe and con
demn are those disgraceful, un Ame
can, and of ten disgusting and indeeen$
attacks on our Catholic fellow-cltUens
that draw their aote inspfratiQa from
political aggression and (ho desire of
erne glib-tongued loafer to make a
living by his wit. As the constitution
guarantees the eivil and religious
equality of every citizen, let justice,
humanity and the true spirit of Amer
ican citizenship maintain the higher,
holier, moral right of exemption from
social and political ostracism and re
ligious persecution and abuse.
Coughing irritates the delicate or
gans and aggravates the disease. In
stead of waiting, try One Minute Cough
Cure. It helps at once, making expec
toration easy, reduces the soreness and
inflammation. Every one likes it.

LOCAL INSTITUTE AT DUFUB.
A Profitable Meeting of Teachers Held on
February 87 and 98.
On Thursday evening, Feb. 27, an
audience fully up to the capacity of the
house assembled, and were fairly en
tertained by songs, instrumental music,
declamations, readings, and two" short
addresses.
Miss Hattie Sternweise rendered a
vocal solo in a manner that was credi
table to her good taste in selection as
well as manner in delivery.
Miss Maud Peabody then read a se
lection on "The Evidences of a God."
Her manner of reading was excellent,
a clear, well rounded voice, accom
panied by a just appreciation of the
subject, was well received.
The audience then was entertained
by an instrumental duet by Prof. Hel
fritch and Ed. C. Hinman. The selec
tion was a beautiful one and well ren
dered. Robert O'Brien told us of 'Betsy" in
a clear, straightforward way that car
ried the thought of the writer directly
to the hearer.
Supt. Shelley then addressed the
audience on the past, present, and
probable condition of our schools. As
to the past, he described in rather
graphic style the struggle of organiza
tion. The old log school-house with
its inconveniences, "ye ancient peda
gogue" with his lack of learning; how
he got his certificate, the spelling
matches, etc, were presented. -The
speaker then turned his attention to a
few things that might improve our
schools. Certificating teachers in
grades not to be repeated was cited as
giving Oregon a lot of tramp teachers.
Apportionment of the school fund upon
the basis oi attendance, instead oi en
rollment, was suggested. Apportion
ing our school funds to institutions of
higher learning was condemned.
The music and singing was well re
ceived, especially the instrumental
duet and the solo by W. L. Vanderoool.
The morning session was not so well
attended as was expected, but the
meeting was full of interest, f
Mrs. Nellie Hudson presented the
subject of primary reading in a neat,
well prepared paper, giving some ex
cellent thoughts on forming a correct
habit of reading when the work is
commenced. She advocated the sen
tence method as superior to all others.
The institute was then conducted by
Prof. Harrington, presenting the sub
ject of arithmetic. An interesting
discussions was tnen maintained lor a
good length of 'time by the following
teachers : Maude f eabody, Anna a ra-
zier, E. F. Surface, E. C. Hinman,
Nellie Hudson, Hattie Sternweise, Mrs.

bled, cards and other games of amuse

when a delicious lunch, provided by

ding their friend a hearty farewell and
expressing regrets for her departure
from the city, the guest9 repaired to
their homes, each declaring a more en

The Golden Thread -Severed.
The remains of Miss Grace Williams,
who died on Saturday, Feb. -29th, in
Portland, ai rived on the noon train Mont
day, accompanied by her mother, Mrs.
A. M. Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Jos.
Marshall. Her sisters Miss Jeanette
Williams and Mrs. Bessie Sewall
arrived on theRegulatorintheevenin?
with the younger members of the
family. ' The funeral services were
held at the Congregational church, of
which she was a member, at 10:30 a.
M. Tuesday.
Miss Grace Williams was the third
daughter of Mr. "and Mrs. Griffith
Williams, was born in this city Feb
22, 1872. Her education was finished
at the Wasco Independent academy,
from which she graduated with honor
in the class of 189Q. Her mental abili
ties were of a high order, and her ap
plication to her studies was incessant.
This close application, from which she
refuse to be dissuaded by her friends,
proved too severe for her naturally
delicate constitution, and her health
gradually failed, not even travel or
change of climate seeming to benefit
her. Decline set in about two years
, ago, and in spite of all that physicians
Could do, she passed quietly away In
her mother's arms at Portland on Sat
urday last.
Miss Williams, being possessed of a
sweet and amiable disposition, made
friends of all with whom she came in
contact. Her nature was unselfish
and highly consciencious.
In 1690 she became a member of the
Congregational church in this city,
and her life has ever been that of a
sincere and devout Christian. Her
family have the heartfelt sympathy of
the entire community, as they are so
closely identified with it by their long
residence here.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Simon Said to be Gathering- Forces About
Him.
There may or may not be foundation
for the followinir. which appeared in
the East Oregonian of last Saturday,
though we give it for what it is worth
Sheriff Sears, of Multnomah county,
has deserted the Frank standard in
Portland and formed an alliance with
Joseph Simon. This is one of the most
significant facts of the campaign, and
is taken as an indication that Simon's
strength has been augmented some
what by his recent manipulation. The
announcement of Sheriff Sears' apost
asy from the faction which to a large
extent made him what he is politically
has attracted general attention from
those persons all over the state who
are interested in politics, and there
has been a careful sizing up of the sit
uation. There is no doubt that recent
moves on the checkerboard of Oregon
politics have to a .very large extent de
termined the political future of a num
ber of men and practically decide in
advance how certain issues are going,
The republican party of Oregon is
pretty thoroughly under boss rule, and
everyone, of course, recognizes the al
most absolute power of Joseph Simon,
at least as having been wielded during
past years, up to the meeting of the
last legislature. When the legislative
and senatorial fight came on in 1895,
the currents of powerv ran not always
as Jo Simon would direct them, and,
as the gamins say, "he was trowed
down and stepped on." There is no
doubt that the opposition sort of para
lized Jo Simon, but he is a very vigor
ous fellow, and has great recuperative
powers. He never gave up, but the
last ballot at Salem had no sooner been
cast in 1895, but he began to reorgan
ize his political forces and train his
guns on the enemy the opposition
which had for a time been' successful.
Joseph Simon is going to win in the
coming republican state convention
and the republican party will be in his
power as though a thing of his own
creation. He has a fight on in Mult
nomah county, to defeat him in his
own stronghold, all the power of the
opposition in the state is concentrated.
But Mr. Simon's late moves has given
him the advantage. Sheriff Sears has
political influence, and he now fights
under the Simon banner. The A. P.
A. were a part of the opposition, but
Mr. Simon has now allied them to
himself and they will add considerable
strength to the Simon cause. These
two accessions of power will .operate
throughout the campaign to Mr. Si
mon's advantage and may insure him
a yictory.
Significant, indeed, is the A. P. A.
move of Mr. Simon, for it effects the
politics of the entire second congres
sional district in a direct manner. The
alliance ylth the A. P. A. is one local
to Portland, but one of the most prom
inent leaders in the A. P. A. . in Port
land is Judge Caples, once before a
congressman from Oregon, and now
again aspiring for that honor. 1 If Mr.
Simon has an understanding with the
A. P. A., and that is now an open
secret, how then could he turn down
Judge Caples as a congressional aspir
ant? This question has been asked all
over Oregon, and the almost universal
answer will be that Mr. Simon cannot
deny Judge Caples his ambition, and
that therefore if Mr. Simon wins in
Portland and Multnomah county, he
will be compelled to throw his strength
to Judge Caples for congress. This is
a situation which possesses a vast
amount of interest for the people of
the state generally, for, whatever may
be said of Jo Simon as a political boss
and' manipulator, he has always kept
his personal promises and supports
whom he says he wilL
