tional church last evening was one of

. folks had a very enjoyable time.
The streets are being improved by
cleaning up the litter and filling up the

pearance. Secretary of State Dunbar has begun

higher price wholesale than any other

, that the firm has determined to handle
Geer informs Adjutant
General Corbin that Oregon will, read
lly raise another regiment to go to the
Philippines. Possibly Timothy is
talking through bis title, for when the
Oregon boys get home it is pretty
certain another thousand cannot be
raiS3d, . unless the governor and his
cousin, whom be got discharged, will
bead the list. If our governor would
get a little further in the background
it would be better.

A genuine Infernal machine was
found near Pratt's' place, on Camas
prairie, about 25.' miles from Golden
dale, recently. It is a common wooden
box, about six inches deep... inside of
which are 12 cartridge!), size 38, a
bottle of shot, two bottles of liquid,
supposed to be nitroglycerin,' and a
large quantity of black powder. . Tbe
box is locked with an ordinary pad
lock and Is so arranged that, when
opened, It will release a wooden ham
mer and will cause tbe comolnatlo to
explode. Vincent Brodle, who found
the machine, delivered It to the sher
iff, who Is using every effort to dis
cover toe Inventor of the deadly ma
chine. About 300 excursionists left on the
steamer Regulator for various points
along the river yesterday and as the
day was perfect for a picnic it is need

where they arrived at about noon. It
was tbe intention to leave Cascades on
tbe return trip at 3 o'clock arriving in

' delays on the portage, however the
i boat did not 9tart back until nearly 5
o'clock, arriving here at nine. A re
j port was circulated in this city that a
! child had fallen overboard and was
1 drowned, tbis was groundless however,
as there was not a single accident

1 Dufur has always had the reputation
of being a patriotic towd unequaled

celebration at tbat place yesterday
more than proved that it merited tbe

hundred people gathered on the
grounds to hear the literary and
musical program rendered. Dr. Ehel
man read the Declaration while Prof.
John Gavin delivered an eloquent
oration. In the alternoon a game of
baseball between tbe Dufur and Victor
teams was played, after wblch those
present were entertained with sack
races, girls races, three legged races
bicycle and foot races, and other
amusements. The ball wblch was
held in the evening in the Odd Fel
lows hall was largely attended and was
a most enjoyable affair.
A Mystery to be Solved.
About 6 o'clock Monday morning
Mr. Dupuls, of Vancouver, discovered
a small, clinker-built skiff floating in
the river, apparently without an oc
cupant. He took a small boat and
pulled out. The craft was empty with
tbe exception of a few articles of cloth
ing, and a Winchester rifle. Mr. Du
pois towed tbe skiff ashore and im
mediately began an investigation.
rne lollowlng-named articles were
found in the boat: ' A coat, bat, Win'
Chester rifle with one shell discharged
and tbe hammer thrown back, an um
brella, a kid glove and a quart bottle
about half full of wnisirey.
In a pocket or tbe coat was an en
velope addressed to J. J. Scott. Bridal
Veil, Or. The envelope bore tbe
postmark of Seattle, May 24, 1899, and
contained a receipt for an express
money order for the amount of $2.
Mr. Dupuls immediately telephoned
to Bridal Veil and aeked for informa
tion concerning J. J. Ssott of that
place. It was ascertained that be was
a resident there and bad left in a boat
Sunday morning for Duncan lake and
nothing bad been seen nor heard of
him since.
When the boat was picked up, there
was one oar hanging in the lock
Three or four locks were scattered
about the bottom, but no oars were in
the boat. Tbe skiff is a valuable one,
clinker built, and varnished inside
and out. On the bow is painted tbe
name "Cap Sheaf."
It is generally supposed in Van
couver and in Bridal Veil tbat Scott
has fallen overboard and was drowned.

FLEET STILL GROWING'
Twelve bteamen Added to the fteeep-
tlon Jtxcuriion.
The mammoth excursion which will
meet tbe returning volunteers at a
point down tbe river bas reached pro
portions which are almost amazing,
says " the Orgonian. Twenty-nine
steamers have already been secured to
take part in the affair, and the returns
are not all in vet. In addition to the
17 steamers mentioned la Thursday's
Oregonlan tbe committee have since
secured 12 others. Mr. Jacob Kamm
has most generously placed at tbe dls
. 4
posal of the oommlttee the steamers
Undine, Lurllne, Mascot and Canby.
Tbe Willamette Pulp & Paper Comp
any will send the Salem; North Paci
fic mill, the Fannie; Captain Newaom,
his- new Steamer IraTdff1,' Nlc"kum &
Kelly, the Bustlea and Kebani; the
Oregon City Transportation Company,
the Altona, in addition to the Pomona
previously mentioned; and R. Inman,
tbe Hoo Hoo, the latter to be used as
a patrol-boat to keep small launches
and rowboats out of the way of the
big steamers.
Some idea of the size of the contri
bution which the steamboat-owners
have madeto the affair can be obtain
ed by trying to charter one of tbe
steamers for any private business of a
similar nature. During the past
thrpe days there has been a tremend
ous demand for tickets on the boats.
Orders have poured in by mail, by
wire, and fromoear-by points people
havesentin personal representatives,
and in some cases have bought up all
of the tickets on a steamer,io order to
keep ttieir neighbors and friends to-'
gether. Several of the boats have
already had every ticket sold in this
way, and if the demand holds up an
other week will find the papacity of
the big fleet pretty well filled.
Mow la the Time. .
Probably Methuselah didn't own a
clock for time was not precious when
men lived for six or eight centuries.
But when tbe span of life came, down
to "three fcore and ten," it was an
other matter; and men early felt the
need of some measure of this fleeting
treasure, time. Many and various
were tbe devices used, in those days of
crude inventive thought. There was
a clepsydra, or water clock; there
were dozens of devices employed to
note tbe fleeting hour, including the
familiar hour-glass and sundial. Tbe
best of these could only approzimate
to tbe correct time; to get within Ave
minutes of it would have been regarded
as a great accomplishment. Today
for a dollar, one buys a time piece tbat
subdivides the seconds of time. This
is an appropriate time of the year for
clocks, to be repaired, and cleaned.
Nearly everyone has a clock or two
about the house that needs "fiixin."
Harry C. Liebe in the Vogt block is
prepared to repair on y watch or clock
without exception whatever. Those
desiring to have reliable work done
will do well to call ou him. He also
carries a complete line of matches and
clocks of all descriptions at very
reasonable prices.
8uprume Court Catching Up.
The Oregon supreme court is mak
ing progress in catching up with the
work on its docket." Some help in
this respect is being rendered by the
stenographers provided for at the an
nual session of the legislature. Part
of the credit is due to the people of
Oregon generally, who show them
selves to be possessed-of a less litigious
spirit on the average than formerly
either this, or they are better satisfied
on the whole with the decisions of the
lower courts. Not as many cases are
being appealed as was the rule a few
years ago. If the tendencv keeps up
tbe court will be able to catch up with
tbe wcrk before long. But there is no
estimating how long it will last.; It is
more probable than otherwise that
tbe tribunal will not clear the docket
entirely at all, until tbe number
justices Is Increased, for all cases must
be given due consideration before de
cisions are rendered to appear in tb
printed reports and become a part of
tbe judicature of. tbe states; and, for
tbe matter of that, of all states,
There la a poor prospect before the

Csar Hectares Himself.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 5. While re
fusing to receive the Finnish deputa
tion, the czar .has Issued a rescript de
daring that when he ascended tbe
throne he took up the sacred duty of
washing over tbe welfare of all people
under the Russian scepter,and decreed
it well to preserve to Finland the
special fabric of internal legislation
conferred ou it by his mighty fore'
fathers. His majesty then expressed
the hope that ' "tbe loyal devotion of
the Finns would be proved to the sat
isfaction of their governor-general.'

The work of a farmer's wife is never
ended. But it is wholesome, enjoyable,
productive work that is pleasurable if the
rainier 8 wire is a well woman.
The work becomes weary drudgery
when the woman is sick. The work
drags and the woman's -pride is hurt.
Her ambition is to do as much and better
work than her
neighbors. It is
a distinct tri
umph if her
butter is gener
ally regarded
as tne bnest in
the county.
But fine butter
and bad health
don't go to
gether.
Mrs. w. T. Kid
der, of Hill Dale
Farm, Enosburr.
Vt, writes to Dr.
R- V. Merer, Buf
falo, N. Y.: "Dur
ing the past year I
found that I was
to become a moth
er and that 1 was
in rapidly failing health. I suffered dreadfully
from bloating, and urinary difficulty. I was
growing perceptibly weaker each day and suf
fered much sharp pain at times. I had to give
up my work and I felt that something must be
done. 1 sought your advice and received a prompt
reply, followed your directions and took twelve
bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrintinn ntwl
also followed your hygenic instructions. 1 began
to improve immediately, my health became ex
cellent, and I could do all my work (we live on a
good sized farm). 1 walked and rode all I could,
and enjoyed it. I had a short, easy confinement
and have a healthy baby boy."
The one medicine that gives oromnt
and sure relief is Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. It ia a tonic and onrifier
that works on one special set of organs
and puts them in a perfectly vigorous,
healthy condition. It quickly soothes in
flammation and stops debilitating drains
on the system. Taken regularly during
the period of gestation it greatly lessens
the pain and danger of childbirth.
Aitnongh sweet to the taste it contains
no sugar which often disagrees with weak'
stomachs; nor does it contain any alco
hol, or opium in any form, and therefore
does not induce a craving for stimulants.
Keeps perfectly ia. tuj climate. . .
