Japan has an Income tax. If a tax

One of the best known flouring mills
on the Pacific coast is the Diamond

sume alt the wheat that is raised here,
hence there is room for another like
establishment, provided it would keep
the standard of its product up to that

What use is" there in eating -when
food does you no good in fact, when
it does you more . harm than good, for
such .is the case if it is not digested?
If you have a loathing for food there
is no use of forcing it down, for it will
not be digested. Yon must restore the
digestive organs to their natural
strength and cause the food to be di
gested, when an appetite will come,
and with it a relish for food. .
The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy; then you
will put flesh on your bones and be
come strong. The Shaker digestive
Cordial as made by the Mount Lebanon
Shakers contains food already digested'
and is a digester of foods as well. Its
action is prompt and its effects perma
nent. Doctors prescribe Laxol because it
has all the virtues of Castor Oil and is
palatable.
The Homestead Kxemptlon law Suntaln4l
Among the decisions handed down
by the supreme court in Pendleton
Saturday was one in the case of Mc
Kennon vs. American Fire Insurance
Company, garnishee. The main point
in the case is that of sustaining-'the
valadity of the homestead exemption
law passed at a former session of the
legislature. The appeal grew out oi
the Cotner insurance case. McKen
non garnlsheed the insurance company
for a debt owed by Cotner and the com
pany refused to pay or. the grounds
that the amount of the policy, about
$900, was exempt from execution.
; The homestead exemption act pro
vides that a free holder may claim ex
emption to the amount of $1,500.
Nearly all the circuit courts of the
state have decided that the law is in
operative,, but the supreme court has
now affirmed the' validity of the act.

Events of the Vltj as Told by Oar Re
la r Correspondent.
A bountiful harvest is an assured
fact. This you can see in the ripe
and ripening grain, the quick en
liyened step, and the cheerful manner
of the farmer.
Our town is busy with the calls of
those who have to reap. At Mr. Moor's
lumber yard and shop there has been
sent out or made ready for sending,
three cook wagons for threshing crews,
three derrick platforms and five or six
broad header beds. At one of our
shops a half dozen or more headers
have been repaired and at another two
or more engines and separators.
Prosperity seems to nave struct us
knee deep or more: but whether it is
the way of the world in its eternal and
ceaseless roll, or the tariff that has
caused it. we shall not stop tosiy. No
doubt some very conservative men on
one side will say, it is the tariff, while
others will lay It upon the Lord.

Gregg and a gentlemen from The
Dalles, whose name we did not learn.
wielaing the trowell under a roof, some
ten feet under ground.
Mr. Gregg, who by the way can give
you as comfortable a shave as any of
our tonsorial artists, very naturally
was engaged in mix ng mortar in im
mitation of lather to be spread on the
sides of the reservoir, cot to be scraped
off with any real or imaginary bair ac
companiment, but to remain for time
without limit.
The excavation as, seen under the
roof is simply immense. The wheels
and pumps used to force the water from
the creek are sufficient for the work,
and with the ample dimensions of the
reservoir assure a supply of water for
Dufur even to the number of 1,000 in
habitants.
Mr. Temple, who has taken the job
to move the old school house on to
Main street after a few reyerses,none of
a serious character, appears to be sue
ceding very well. The Messrs. Velar
die of your city were out here last week
and moved the grain and flour house,
connected with the manufacturing
mill; a . building bf considerable
dimensions, some 30 or 40 feet immedia
tely against the mill. The boys know
their business, but possibly lost a job
by conceiving that they had a mon
opoly. The new school house is looming up,
sides, cornice, and roof complete, with
the promise that next week will see
the' bell tower complete, with more
floors and possibly chimneys. ' V
A gentleman of our community, Mr.
William Vanderpooltogether with his
wife and two youngest sons, has been
camping in the mountains for the past
two or more months. Mr. Vanderpool
is uniting pleasure and profit in his
outing, as he has undertaken to sum
mer a number of cattle in the moun
tains, fish, hunt and entertain any of
his friends who may call npon him.
All of which we proyed last week,
when on a fishing excursion, which
we thought might last for only a day.'
Meeting Mr. Vanderpool, who was
ostensibly on the lookout for some
stray cattle we could not escape bis
hospitality, and knowing him we only
regretted that of necessity it had to be.
of so short' duration. Our stay with
him was pleasant from start to finish.
Mr. Ed. Froebe, of Sherman county,
visited "Dufur last Saturday staying
over Sunday.' Of "course he came to

Mr. Froebe lives at, and owns, the
famous Bigelow Springs, of Sherman

A Wasco County Wool Raiser Offers to
Hell His Wool For the Duty.
A prominent wool grower, who has
been engaged in the sheep business
for some ten or twelve years in this
county, speaking the other day of the
wool market, the effect of the tariff
and the promised good prices, re
marked that hejtoday stood as a genu
ine pbilr, st. He is willing to
raise worn, shear it off .the sheeps'
backs, haul it IX) miles to market, and
give it to any buyer who will pay him
within half a cent of the duty imposed
upon foreign wool or the same grade.
He don't want anything for raising,
shearing and hauling the clip in, all
he asks is just wnat the foreign grower
would have to pay for the privilege of
offering bis wool in our markets. -"
This- philantrophle gentleman says
that in 189. when there was no duty
on wool, be sold bis entire clip off the
same sheep for 11 cents a pound, and
now that there is a duiy of 11 cents on
the same grade of wool, he does not
see why it should not be worth 22 cents,
less freight charges from here to
Eastern manufacturers. When he
sold bis wool last year he was told that
the assurance of a duty on wool would
raise the price of his clip to 14 cents,
and when a bill was passed restoring
the 1890 tariff rates it wouldbe worth
18 cents. This, however, is more than
he wants; if he can get within half a
cent of of the duty, he will donate the
wool to any buyer who will take it, and
allow him to make all there is in the
wool at actual value.
. A Heavy-Weight In Court.
An Oregon City dispatch to the Or
egonian gives the following account of
a rather exciting episode that oc
curred in Justice Genglebach's court
Wednesday afternoon when Herman
Terwadow was having a bearing on
the charge of threatening to destroy
the property and harm the persons of
Susan Crookshanks and her brother,
E, Mounds. WhUe the trial was in
progress Mrs. Terwadow,' who weighs
250 pounds and is mostly muscle, left
her weeks-old baby and burst in the
only door to the courtroom : and began
hurling cord wood and fierce impreca
tions upon those engaged in the case.
The lawyers say it was a scene never
to be forgotten. The furious woman
was about to clean out the whole
establishment and the best efforts of
five men were required to prevent her
en -
from doing great barm. The clothing
was torn from the upper part of her
body, while her brawny fists and
voluble tons-ue wer playing upon her
subjects.
After that scene had passed, Mrs
Crookohanks entwined her hands in
the defendant's hair and very nearly
scalped him before her hands could be
loosed.
After all this the justice found there
was no evidence -to warrant peace
bonds from Terwadow, but he made an
order that Terwadow should not go
upon the premises of the complaining
witnesses or molest, them in any
manner whatever.
MISTAKEN FOR BRYAN.
ow A knr York Urnmmer Fooled a
j Crowd In Wlomlnx.
J. H. McKnight, a well known New
York traveling man, who was in the
city the other day, told of how he played
a Wyomi ng crowd and passed himself
off for Mr. Bryan.., In appearance Mr.
McKnight very much resembles the
distinguished orator, and at a glance
could easily ' be mistaken -tor him.
While crossing the continent the first
of July he occupied a car in one section
of a train that was carrying Mr. Bryan,
though he was on tho first section
while Mr. Bryau was on the third,
which was an hour behind. When the
first section pulled into Rollins, there
was a great crowd at the station, pnd
Mr. McKnight stepped to the rear
platform to see the mass of people.
No sooner did he emerge from the car
than a wild shout went up for Bryan.
accompanied by demands for a speech.
Mr. McKuijht iu'aa instant realized
the mistake and proceeded to carry
out the joke. He informed the people
that owing to Caving made a number
of speeches that morning he was un
able to talk, but would be pleased to
shake hands with all theladies present
The throng gathered around him
shaking his hand heartily, and for
half an hour he was the lion of the oc
casion. JNever before naa ne reaiizea
the pleasures of popularity, and he en
joyed the occasion highly. After his
train left Rollins the people dispersed,
believing they had snen the great
champion of silver, and when Mr.
Bryan arrived there was none to greet
him except the attaches about the
station. J
W asco County Needs Advertising-.
If any section, blessed with all the
natural resources for producing wealth
and comfortably supporting a large
population, ever kept its light more
securely bid under a bushel than has
Wasco . county, it has not yet been
heard of. Producing as we do nearly
a million bushels of "wheat, carload
after car load of choice fruit, thousands
of head of beef, mutton and millions of
pounds of wool, the outside world
knows nothing of our resources. Our
wheat goes into market as the product
of Walia Walla, our meat, fruit and wool
simply as Eastern Oregon products,
and our salmon, some of it at least, is
labled, simply as "Columbia river
salmon." No wonder when residents
of the city visit the older states and
mention the fact that they are from
The Dalles, they are asked "What
suburb of Portland Is The Dalles?" or
"Whereabouts in the Willamette or
Sacramento valleys is The Dalles lo
cated?" The fact is the outside world knows
little or nothing of Wasco county or of
the city at the head of navigation on
thaColumbia.The outside woild-is-not
cognizant of the fa5t that. Wasco

From parties in from Boyd we learn
that M. J. Cockerline is pushing the
work along on the improvements to
his flour mill property, and will have
everything in shape to start up by the
first of September. His new ditch is
working splendidly and from the mas
sive stone foundations put in for the
new building and power plant, it is
evident that there can never be delay
or poor work from lack of steadiness
in machinery or from breakdowns a
very important point.
Mr, Cockerline states . that this
change was made imperative by his
rapidly increasing trade and that in
the past he has been compelled to turn
away a large precsntage for lack of
capacity, but that in the future be will
be glad to see all old customers and as
many new ones as possible, assuring
them that he is now prepared to serve
them promptly no matter bow fast
they come. Although his flour has
held an enviable reputation, he will
do still better and furnish an article
inferior to none in the state. This
mill has always ben a standby of the
farmers in an exchange business, and
it is greatly to the farmers interest
that the mill is conducted in the way
it has been, and we are glad to note
the foregoing improvements as a sign
that the benefits are mutual and thai
the mill will be better able than ever
to meet the people's demands on It.
As such interests are very valuable
in building up the country back of The
Dalles, we give it this extended notice
and trust that the farmers will give it
the loyal support it has earned and
gaeatly deserved, and wish it success
in its extended field of operations,
Wans to Cobb, to Oregon.
Ephraim Diernard, a representative
of the Hebrew Agricultural Society of
the United States, has written the gov
ernor, saying that he has a large num
ber of persons belonging to the society
who are desirous of locating on gov
ernment lands in Oregon. He says,
further, that these people are all citi
zens of the United States, and that
they- are experienced farmers, and
every one of them is ckllled in some
trade. The governor, in reply, in
formed bim that there was plenty of
government land in Oregon, and
trusted that they might decide to lo
cate here, believing that ' such a step
would never be regretted by them.

' An Old BUe.
In 1893 Ross E. Winans discovered a
relic on one of the islands of the Col
umbia that connects this country
almost with the past. It was an iron
brand that was evidently used by the
Lewis & Clark party when they made
their first trip across the continent
and passed down through this country
to the ocean. The brand - is an iron
box some 4x5 inches square and 2J
inches deep, on one end of which in
raised letters is this inscription, "U.
S. CaDt. M, Lewis," and beneath the
lettering is a hollow place evidently
intended for holding removable iron
type. The brand was probably, used
by Louis & Clark to mark goods when
they made their memorable expedition
to the West, and likely was lost or
stolen by the Indians. When Mr.
Winans found the relic be sent it to
relatives of Capt. Clark, in Montana.
A few days ago it was returned to him,
and now he has turned lt over to Capt.
J. W. Lewis for safe keeping.
Lost.
One black hornless bull of the Galla
way breed, four years old, tin tag in
