Fings were floating today in honor
of Dewey's victory and were noticeable
over most of the store-and hotels, also
over numerous residences and all the
public buildings except the land of
fice. Since the land office hire is one
of the best paid on the coast and does
an extensive business, the feesrunniug

to sell tdeir clips this season.

celved. Mr. Garretson now feels that
he is fully capable of practicing the
profession of optician, since he has
mastered the course of study Outlined
by tbis well known college, and it

TWO 1 115TAK.C3.
There are
two mis
takes that
people with
weak lungs
are liable to
make ; and
both are
about
equally
bad: One
is to not
give atten
tion quick
ly enough
to the little
coughs and
bronchial
troubles
which so
rapidly un
dermine the delicate
lung tissue
and plunge
von into
consumption almost before you are aware
of it; the other is when the trouble is at
last discovered and fully realixed to give
up nope too soon.
Begin with these bronchial and throat
ailments the instant they appear; never
wait till to-morrow. The right remedy
taken now may save months of severe ill
ness. On the other hand if the illness has
already come upon you; and you find your
self weakened, wasted and discouraged, do
not lose hope. There is a medicine that will
certainly restore you to health and strength.
' My boy was in a very bad way when I com
menced to give him Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery," writes J. W. Price, Esq., of Ozark,
Monroe Co., Ohio, in a recent letter to Dr. R. V.
Pierce of Buffalo. N. y. ' The doctors claimed
he had consumption and we doctored with them
until he was past walking-. After using five bot
tles of the Discovery ' he is now all -ight. It
has been ten months since he stopped taking
your medicine and he is still in good health. We
are very thankifl to you for saving our soa."
Hundreds of similar eases are described
in one chapter of Or. Pierce's great thou-sand-page
illustrated book The People's
Common Sense Medical Adviser which will
be sent free for the bare cost of mailing, 21
one-cent stamps. It is a veritable family
library in one volume; the fruit of Dr.
Pierce's life-long experience with the se
verest types of obstinate chronic diseases.

AFTKK ISLAND TKiOE.
The Columbia Southern Keochiog; Into the
Interior.
The Prineville Review, commenting
on tbe report that he Columbia South
ern will build to Antelope this season,
says:
"We understand that it is the in
tention to complete tbe road to within
8 or 10 miles of Antelope this summer.
There is no doubt but what the O. R.
& N. is behind the Columbia Southern..
They are certainly friendly in regard
to the interchange of traffic rates. The
principal reason no doubt, for the O.
R. & N. in launching this enterprise,
is their dislike in reference to Tbe
Dalles people in putting on tbe Regu
lator line of steamers from The Dalles
to Portland, thereby lessening their
profits in the passenger and freight
lines. This line of steamers has been
very annoying to the O R. & N. peo
ple and they now have a chance to get
eyen with Tbe Dalles. This -proposed
road will tap the country largely
tributary to Tbe Dalles and the trade
from this section has been worth
thousands of dollars to Tbe Dalles
people. Terminal facilities will un
doubtedly be provided at tbe terminus
of tbe road so that tbey can handle
the immense amount of traffic that
will pass over their line.
- "Our people are getting to think that
better times are in store for them and
that we will not always be isolated
from "our shipping point. Whether
the proposed line will ever reach
Prineville, is not worrying us but
little. If we can secure terminal facil
ities within 60 or 75 miles without
having to pay excessive tolls, we have
accomplished something to our advan
tage; then we will pursue the even
tenor of our way and wait for some
thing else to turn up. Our stock in
terests, our wool industry and our
mining industry cannot always be
overlooked. Ou- mines are proving
that they will bean immense -.actor
in future years, and if the mining
regions in the different portions of
Central Oregon are not tapped by
branch railroads you can put us down
as a bad proGt."
Here is something for The D-i'les
to think about. Tbe people of Crook
county want an outlet for their pro
duce. Tboy have been at tbe dia ad
vantage of hauling their products from
100 to 209 miles by wagon, and they
know the advantages of quicker and
cheaper mcan of transportation. . In
the past they have ben a source of
great profit to The Dalles, and tbey
bave a kindly feeling toward this
place, bnt they wiil noi. discommode
themselves to bring us favors. Prob
ably, however, we could retain their
patronage were we to offer them
transportation facilities better than
can be offered by tbe Columbia
Southern. It is hijh time for Tbe
Da'les to again begin agitating the
question of a road up the Deschutes

Jailor Fitzgerald Mad a Lively Chase
A f ter a Fleeing Prisoner.
Sunday morning Jailor John
Fitzgerald had a lively chase afte"
Mike Dunn, a man who is confined 'u
the county jtil awaiting tbe action of
the grand jury on a charge of larceny,
but Mr. Fitzgerald proved the swiftest
of the two and caugbt his man though
he did not get a fair start.
When Mr. Fitzgerald went to tbe
jail in tbe morning be found Indian
Jack up and around, and told him to
build a Are, but Jack insisted that
there was no wood in tbe jail, so he'
stepped inside to see what had become
of tho wood be bad left there Saturday
night. Just as he passed the first cell
Dunn darted out of it and through tbe
jail door, out of tbe sheriff's office
and into the street. Mr. Fitzgerald
bad to close tbe jail door before he
could pursue tbe fleeing prisoner,
therefore reached the street just in
time to see bis man turn into the
alley leading west from Union street.
Mr. Fitzgerald got uo a motion that
would bave made a, professional
sprinter envious, and managed to keep
in sight of the fellow, wbo went to the
end of the alley cear tbe Tborobury
property, the." turned north into
Second street, coming back to tbe
Michelbacb building, then turned out
on Union street until he came to tbe
alley back of the Columbia hotel. In
to the alley he went like the wind, and
kept on his flight until he appeared on
Court street and was met by Sid Kelly
wbo stopped him long enough for Mr,
Fitzgerald to catch up. - Dunn,, bow-
ever, was about ready to give up the
race, while Mr. Fitzgerald was only
getting in good shape for a long run.
after having chased his man six blocks.
Dunn was taken back to jail, and it is
not probable that he will see tbe out
side of prison walls until he is taken
into court for trial.

In Memory of Maggie Keys.
Tha following lines were written by
Emma B. French, and dedicated to
the memory of Maggie Keys, who died
recently at the home of her parents,
in Mayville.
You, lying out there, with that pale
band of sleepers?
Your busv bands folded, your active
feet still?
Who bring me this tale are but idle
deceivers;
I do not believe tbem, I cannot nor
will!
So lately we .spoke, and no message of
warning
Had over your.spirit its dark shadow
fluog;
Did you drop to tbe earth in the glad
sunny morning.
Like an arrow-struck bird with its
song scarce begun?
Nay, nay! for not such lives as yours
are a target,
For the skillful aDd merciless archer
named deatb!
He aims, dos he not, where tbe aged
limbs falter,
Or the weak infant gasps out bis
fluttering breath?
Not you, with your young life so ar
dently glowing,
Not you, could have tempted the
arrows dread flight!
Bright spirit of truth with rare kind
ness o'er flowing,
Not you could have vanished in
mystery's might!
Notyou! Ah my heart in sad prophecy
falters.
Reminded bow death from his station
so dark.
Still loves, as he aims at our heart's
fairest alters.

PACIFIC JfOKTHWBST PBODCCBKB,
Farmers and Wool Men Plan aa Associ
ation for Mutual Protection.
There is on foot a plan for the forma
tion of what will be called tbe Pacific
Northwest Producers' Association,
which will before long make of itself
a strong factor in the induatrial life of
this community. Thus far, tbe mem
bership secured consists only of farm
ers and grain producers, but it is hoped
that the wool men and sheep breeders
will come into the association, and add
producers of wool to the list.
The movement began some time ago,
and suddenly developed into a plan of
considerable comprehensiveness, with
an association that shall not only have
pleasant headquarters In this city, bi't
in them bave receded every half hour
telegraphic reports of tbe world's mar
kets, and also keep on hand all tbe
principal trade journals and market
reviews of accepted reliability.
The following are the statements of
tbe objects aimed at:
"We tbe undersigned producers of
the county of Umatilla and state of
Oregon, do by our signatures hereby
agree to unite ourselves in a non-political
body for the purpose of providing
for ourselves protection against tho
trusts that have been formed and
which dictate to the producers the
prices of tbe commodities which we
produce; and to further provide our
selves with a place to meet and trans
act business and receive telegraphic
market reports of the world; and to
place! ourselves in direct cammunica-
tion with the consumers of the world;
and to unite ourselves in one grand
body and to promote harmony and
work for the general welfare of tbe
community at large, and for the pro
ducer." The association will in no manner
touch the mercantile portion of tbe
business of tbe community, but will
exist solely for the purpose of enabling
the producers of wheat, wool and live
stock to keep more closely la touch
with the markets of the world, and to
more intelligently handle them. It
will be the particular tenet of the
association that there shall be no poli
tics in the conduct of the affairs, and
tho objects as set forth in the state
ment above quoted will absolutely
govern the officers and members
throughout tbe life of the association
It Is less than . ten days since the
effort began to form the association,
and already there are on tbe lists of
prospective members- 158 farmers,
wheat grower), and among them so on
of tbe most prominent and solidest of
tbe county. East Oregonisn.
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE).
A Prosperous Young Farmer at Haines
Drops uut of Sight.
The rural neighborhood of tbe little
village of Haines, in Powder valley,
was considerably stirred up the fore
part of the week by what seemed to be
a very mysterious disappearance of a
prominent young farmer, Lafe Favor
ite, residing about two miles west of
Haines, says tbe Baker City Democrat.
On Tuesday afternoon last Mr.
Favorite kissed his youbg wife, to
whom he was wedded only a few
months ago, and started across field
an'i meadow In the direction of Haines.
Before going be informed his wife
that he was going to make a land sale
to Davis Wilcox, the merchant, and
would, also, attend a meeting of tbe
Odd Fellows' lodge that evening and
If be was late returning home for her
not to be alarmed. '
Mr. Favorite did not go to Haines,
neither did he attend lodge. ' Where
be went no one seemed to know. His
continued absence alarmea bis wife
and on Wednesday she notified ber
relatives and neighbors and a search
ing party went out to look for him.
Word was sent to Haines and a num
ber of the citizens prepared to make a
diligent investigation. They first
called on , the brothers of the missing
man and according to the state ment
of a Haines citizen to a Democrat
reporter yesterday, tbey were inform
ed tbat Mr. Favorite bad made it
known to bis brothers that he was
dissatisfied with some things and i a
tended leaving the country. Notwith
standing this statement of the missing
man's brothers,' however, there are
those wbo believe tbat the man has
been foully dealt with.
Mr. Favorite was sole administrator
of his father's estate, owned consider
able property in bis own name and for
bim to leave the country with bis
affairs in an unsettled condition seems
to be out of all reason
Mr. Favorite's young wife, to whom
be seemed to be greatly attached, is
greatly alarmed over the disappearance
of her husband and, it is sail, is of the
opinion that barm has befallen him
He was a member of the I. O. O. F.,
Workmen and Woodmen lodges and
was well thought of by his lodge
brothers,' who from the 'first bave been
anxious for bis sa'ety and bave inter
ested themselves in unravelling the
mystery surrounding his strange dis
appearance.
