Tun La Grande papers deny tlmtitn
effort wixa niado to trade n branch rail
road to .Siniiniorvillo for 2i)0 county
teat voles. Wo are not Hurpitecd at
their denial of it.
Fhotkctidn means happy homes
and high wages and (security for the
workingtnon. Andrew Camigic, Oc
tober, 1888.
Under the new scalo wages will bo
reduced about lf per cent. Andrew
Carnegie, June, 1889.
A Skatti.i: dispatch dated August
8th says that tho republican territorial
central committee culled a convention,
to nominate a state ticket, to meet at
Walla Walla September 4th. The
county convention will meet August
2!)lh and the number of delegates will
be 298.
Tin: Oregon Ktato fair will com
mence on the Kith of September next.
Extensive preparations aro being
made and tho fair promises to bo more
interesting than any which has pre
ceded it. Wo return thanks to tho
management for complimentary ticket
and invitation to attend.
Iris said that Portland's democratic
daily is now an assured fact. A $(),
000 Hitbsidy has been raised and W. It.
Hearst of tho S. l' Examiner is to put
in a 200,000 plant soon. Hearst now
or does things by halves and wo may
expect a roitlund edition equal to the
San Francisco Examiner. Alongside
of such a paper tho Oregoniau would
dwindle into insignificance.
Tun initial number of The Malheur
Gazette, puplibhcd at Vale, by J. M.
Shcpord, is on our table. It gives
promise of being an interesting and
useful journal. Air. Shopord was for
merly of tho JJcdroek Democrat and
knows how a paper should bo con
ducted: I t will appear, howovor, to a
casual observer, that there is no call
for two newspapers in a town tho si.o
of Vale, unless u remarkable giowth in
population i'h anticipated.
Jrwii: Ti:mtv, who, with Sarah Al-
thca, his wife, have been tho subject
of so much sensational court proceed
ings in San Francisco, was shot and
killed by a deputy marshal for assaul
ting .lustico Field of tho Supreme
Court. Tho killing took plaeo at La
throp a railway eating station near
San Francisco. Tho deputy, being a
body guard of Judge Field, evidently
thought ho Was called upon to do
something. Although Judge- Terry
was considered a dangerous man ho
was unarmed at the time, and from
tho nowspapor reports wo judge that
tho killing was uncalled for and un
justifiable. Justice Field appears to
bo a coward and a knave.
AN()Tiu:u i'onci: in: i.v.on.
Every little while attention is called
to tho fact that science has taken up
and endorsed the statements made in
works of fiction. Uulwer, Margrave
and Haggard havo written novels
based on tho theory that human life
may bo protracted to an indefinite pe
riod. And now comes tho report that
Dr. Hrown Scquard recently an
nounced to tho Hiological Society of
Paris, of which ho is president, tho
discovery of a substanco which is
capable of making tho old young and
tho weak strong. It is composed of
tho living cells of young and healthy
animals, reduced to u pulp in a mortar
with distilled water and injected into
tho system with a hypodermic syringe.
Doctors aro generally averse to taking
their own medeeines, but tho great
French specialist has administered
this remedy for old ago on himself
and, if accounts are correct, is delight
ed with tho result. Though born
no uly seventy-five years ago, he feels
jib vigorous as a man of fifty. Two
injections of this elixir of life trans
formed him. lleforo ho used it ho
had little or no appetite; was unable
to sleep more than hour at a time, and
was tired after working a few minutes
in his laboratory, lie was discou
raged and disheartened, Now he can
work for hours without being fatigued,
His appetite is good and his sleep
sweet and refreshing. He can prose
cute his studies hotter than ho could
thirty years ago. He is again ambi
tious and hopeful. The alleged dis
covery is causing a ripple of oxeito
mont throughout the country and
inuoli is being said about it by pliyni
oians and the uewspapuiv.

thus become tributary toTncou: . will
tap one of tho richest mioiti;: rrgtone
in the country, equal, pfrhapi?, to the
Conconully and Ouur d' Ak'iic. Not
only are thuro rich mines of silver and
gold, hitherto umvorked bt-cause of
their remoteness from railroads and
waterways, but the copper prospect
aro the finest in the world, said to bo
equal to the Jireat mines in the Lake
Superior district. There are now sev
eral mines in operation in this region,
tho ore being packed out on mules,
but even with this expensive tntn? por-
tat.on tho ore s rich enough to nay a
profit. With a railroad into the heart
of the region, these mines would be-
come at once vaiuauie. jne nay
Horse mine, in tho Snake river valley,
which has shown very favorable pros
pects, will bo close to the line of the
proposed road There uie also large
quantities of excellent timber growing
in this section, much of which would
be shipped if facilities were provided.
A party of prospectors mo now at
work on some of the mines, and will
bring small shipments to tho Uyan
smelter as soon as it starts up.
IhtADSTKiXT'rt of July 10th hays:
"Less activity appears in tho wool
market than at any time for two
months, and juices are easier, if not
quotably lower. The manufacturers
have been disappointed in their expec
tation of obtaining a considerable
advance over last year on their light
weight stufl's. At Philadelphia wool
has been very quiet, owing to the un
settling effect of the Eastern failures,
which have caused buyers to hold off
for lower prices, and have made selli rs
more critical about credits. Tho mar
ket is weaker, but it fi ilithVult to fix
exact prices in the absence of any gen
eral demand."
Tin: old "pathfinder," Gen. John C.
Fiemont, appeared in court where
judgments were entered against him
for sf (12!), including inlciest and cots,
in the suit of lhotano Uros., against
him. Tho General voluntarily ap
peared and admitted tho debt, but
stated his inability to meet tho liabili
ty. Confession of judgment was there
fore recorded against him.
Tin: vigor and value of Mr, Cleve
land's state papers has led to their
issue in book form. They furnish in
formation of prime value, bearing
upon present polities and issues that
aro to bo vital for a generation to
come.

Accident, Tho party had dismounted
after descending for several miles
down tho steep mountain sides to
rest. .Mr. Dcnney tightened the cinch
on Mrs. D's horse and placed his wife
in the saddle, when tho young animal,
evidently not relishing tight lacing,
commenced rearing and whirling
around and finally wound up by throw
ing itself. Mr. D caught the bridlo
as it fell, jerking it so that it fell on its
right side and his wife was not slow to
improve tho chance thus given her in
springing to the ground, barely escap
ing the horse falling on her even then.
However, as "a miss is good as a
mile," the parly proceeded home, glad
enough that it terminated so luckily.
