At the council meeting last night
the committee on street lights was dis
charged. The fuil council was not

Parrou Light Co. be received the
motion was lost. It was then request
ed by Councilman Kuck, chairman of
the light committee, that the com
mittee be discharged as they could not
come to an agreement, ua motion
the request was granted. We are in
tbe same position now that we were
two years ago, and there is no prospect
of having lights. It would be wise,
considering that tbe council cannot
agree, to have the club take up the
matter, and by all means see that we
have lights this fall.

Sketch of the Life of the Nominee for
Joint Kepresentative.
Mr. Brigham was born in Dover,
111., Aug. 29, 1850. and moved to Rock
Island county, 111., with bis parents
when 3 vears old. Here the elder
Brigham settled and was one of the
founders of what is now the prosper
ous town of Cordova. At the age of
20 vears voun? Brigham moved to
Kansas, and for eight years followed
farming and stock raising, coming to
the great Northwest and settling at
Seattle, it 1877. In 1883 the terms
of clearing a farm on Puget Sound be
coming' too mucn lor tne suDject oi
our sketch, he sought the fertile
prairies of Wasco county, Oregon,
and for the past 16 years has made his
home in the vicinity of Dufur, being
justice of the peace for about 12 years.
When Dufur was incorporated in
l.fSH. Mr Brigham was elected city
re'-iir.i r. aini has been re-elected to
th:tt titY. je e;ii-h yem' sinco. He is a
large siurl-holder in the S. li. Medi
cine Co., nuil was nnr of the founder
of that well-known company in 188
In all educational enterprises, Mr.
Brigham has taken an active interest.
He has always been a consistent re
publican, taking great interest in po
litical affairs, as a citizen, not as a
seeker after position. Being a care
ful student of national affairs, he,
years ago, realized tnat tne question
of finance would some day have to be
settled, and turned his attention more
particularly to that issue. His faith
the republican party being such
that he refused until the St. Louis
convention of 18G0 to believe his parly
would repudiate the teachings of its
reat leaders, Lincoln and Blaine, and
become a gold standard party.
With Mr. Brigham, principle was
greater than party name, and for the
past two years be has labored hard for
the principles he advocated as a re-
ublican for 20 years.
On the stump he is noted for tbe
force and logic of bis argument, and
as a public speaker has few equals in
the state.
Nominated for joint representative
on tbe union ticket, be will, if elected,
be controlled by no party ring or fac
tion, and having naught but the good
of bis district, and of tbe state, to
fight for with his ability, will make a
record of which his supporters will be
proud, and the taxpayers of Wasco
and Sherman counties thankful.
The people can make no mistake by
voting for a man of such high moral
character in private and public affairs
as A. J. Brigham is known to possess.
PHILIPPINE 1SL1.ND.
Bow Long It Will I ake Oregon's Soldiers
To Get There.
Considerable discussion is taking
place these days in regard to tbe exact
distance to the Philippine islands,
whither the militia and volunteers of
Oregon are likely to be sent. A refer
ence to the massive globe in the office
of the American Book Company, says
the Portland Telegram, reveals tbe
fact that Manila is just 6876 miles west
by south of Portland, as the crow
would fly could be go that far in a
straight line. From San Francisco to
Manila the distance is greater, being
70S9 miles; but as tha troops of tbe
coast will probably be mobilized in
San Francisco, to be sent to Manila
by transports, in convoy of crlusers,
this latter figure must form tbe basis
of calculation. According to the av
erage time made by steamers ,betwe n
San Erancisco and ports across the
Pacific, it will take 19 days to reach
the Philippines from the Golden Gate,
not figuring on any stop over at Hono
lulu, which is seven days out. Thus,
if the Oregon boys could be landed at
Manilia within three Jreeks from the
time they leave Portland, they would
be making very good time.
The Philippines lie between 15 and
20 north latitude, and tbe 120th line of
longitude east of Greenwhich inter
sects them.

In times past thosa who desired to
furnish a house were required to visit
at least three stores in order to secure
what was needed. But this has been
obviated by the Great Northern Fur
niture store. If you want to furnish a
house, that estaolishment can fit you
out with anythiug needed in house
furnishing stoves, ranges, cooking
tensils, furniture and dishes in
fact, it is three large stores In one.
Hardware store, a furniture store
and a dish store. Being prepared to
furnish anything in those three lines,
this establishment can give better
prices than can be bad anywhere else
in Eastern Oregon or Washingtrn.
Having taken the advantage of trade
discounts on large purchases, it is pre
pared to give its customers ail the ben
efits of cheap prices and excellent stock.
A specialty is made of steel ranges,
cooking utensils and high grade fur
niture, all of which is sold remarkably
low. You will neyer know what real
bargains are until you price goods at
the Great Northern
