out in this enterprise? We think not.
The distrust of the people lu the
ability of the administration to manage
the affairs attendant upon it are being
manifested in many ways. Broken
banks, scarcity of money and a dear
medium of exchange are a few of the
leading features.
Salem is fighting the location of nil
state institutions outside of Halem. If
he keeps up this lick the oapilol will be
changed inside of five years. It is well
not to kill the goose that lays the golden
egg. or even rullle her tail-feathers, for
that matter. The great voter of Oregon
is always on the lookout for greed.
The Tammany democrats do not
relish the Markley-Murpby dish. E. O,
BusseUi the newly appointed appraiser
of the Fort of Portland, is a carpet
bagger of the baggiest type, and this
election is not relished. TonyNoltner,
of the Disuatob, is particularly sore.

disrupt what is left of the organization
in Oregon.
A wobd to the parents of Heppner is
not out of plaoe at this juncture. So
long as they are governed in the main
by their ohildren, just so long will there
be difficulty in maintaining a good
school here. Nine months, yearly, is
not too long tor a child to spend in
school. Of this, the student occupies
actually only five days of six hours each
in each week, at school work. This
gives pupils ample time for reoreation.
When Ueppuer's pater-familiae shall
bring in vogue again few more clap
boards to be ased most diligently and
often where they will do the most good,
just so soon will there be less insubordi

age. The parents will then dictate who
shall teaob the schools, how long the
terms shall be, and then, we believe, a
better yearly attendance will be had.
Wi are now reaping a few rewards
from the little pieoe of legislation which
made silver token money and a com
modity and put gold on the throne.
Many of the wrecked banks met their
failure because their money was out and
it was impossible for them to realise on
their paper. The money is not in the
country, and the nearer we approach to
the single standard, as a world, the
greater will be the scarcity of money.
Fiuanoial wreoke will Btrew every con
tinent. We have gradually gotten away
from former conditions, and to return to
that era may require time, but bi-uieta
lism will win in the end. We are a silver
producing nation, and the money of our
country should be silver, paper and gold.
with no limit aa to the amount of the

in the face of possible free trade in raw
materials, no wonder prices are low, be

t). A. R. NOTICE.
We take this opportunity of informing
our subscribers that the new commis
sioner of pensions has been appointed.
He is an old soldier, and we believe
that soldiers and their heirs will re
ceive justice at his hands. We do not
anticipate that there will be any radios!
changes in the administration of pension
all'airs under the new regime.
We would advise, however, that 0. R
soldiers, sailors and their heirs, take
steps to make application at nuce, if
they have not already done so, in order
to secure the benefit of the early tiling
of their claims in case there should be
any future pension legislation. Suoh
legislation is seldom retroactive. There
fore it is of crest' importance that so
plioatioui be tiled in the department at
the earliest poasinle date.
If the U. o. soldiers, sailors, or their
widows, ohiulreu or parents desire in
formation iu regard to pension matters,
they should write to the Press Claims
(Jompany, at Washington, 1). (J., and
they will prepare and send the necessary
application, it they find them entitled

For
How to Get Twenty-five Hun
dred Dollars for Nothing:
The Winner has a Clear Gift of a Small
Koi tun;, and the Losers Have Pat
ents that may firing them in
HINI More.
Would you like to make twenty-five
hundred dollars? If you would, read
carefully what follows and you may see
a way to do it.
The Press Claims Company devotes
much attention to patents. It has
handled thousands of applications for
inyentors, but it would like to handle
thousands more. There is plenty of
inventive talent at large in this country
needing nothing but enoouragement to
produoe practical results. That en
couragement the Press Claim Company
proposes to give.
NOT SO HAKD AS IT SEEMS.
A patent strikes most people as an
appallingly formidable thing. The idea
is that an inventor must be a natural
genius, like Edison or Bell j that he must
devote years to delving in complicated
mechanioal problems and that he must
speud a fortune on delicate experiment
before be can get a new device to a
patentable degree of perfection. This
delusiou the company desires to dispel.
It desires to get into the head of the
publio a dear comprehension of the fact
that it is not the great, complex, and
expensive inventions that bring the
best returns to their authors, but the
little, simple, and oheap ones the things
that seems so absurdly tiivial that, the
average oitixen would feel somewhat
aBhumed of bringing them to the at
tention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has
received from the patents on all his
marvelous inventions have not been
sufficient to pay the cost of bis ex peri
mentB. But the man who conceived the
idea of fastening a bit of rubber oord to
a ohild's bull, so that it would come
back to the band when thrown, made a
fortune out of bis scheme. The modern
sewing-machine is a miracle of ingenuity
the product of the toil of hundreds of
busy brains through a hundred and
fifty years, but the whole brilliant reBUlt
rests upon the simple device of putting
the eye of the needle at the point instead
of at the other end.
THE LITTLE THINGS TUB MOST VALUABLE.
Comparatively few people regard
themselves as inventors, but almost
everybody has been Btruok, at one time
or anotlrer, with ideas that seem
calculated to reduoe some of the little
friotious of life. Usually buoIi ideas
are dismissed without further thought.
"Why dou't the railroad oompany
make its cur windows so that they oan
he slid op aud down without breaking
the passengers' back?" exclaims the
traveler. "If I were running the road I
would make them iu such a way."
"What wb8 the muu that made this
saucepan thiuking of?" grumbles the
cook. "He never hud to work over a
stove, or he would huve known how it
ought to huve been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button !" growls
the man who ia late for breakfast. "It
I were in business I'd make buttons
that wouldn't slip out, or break off, or
gouge out the buok of my neck."
Aud then the various sufferers forget
about their grievuncea and begin to
think of something else. If they would
sit down at the next convenient op
portunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans, aud oollur buttons
into praoticul shape, aud then apply tor
patents, they might find themselves in
.lepeudeutly wealthy as the man who in
vented the iron umbrella ring, or the
one who patented the fifteen puzzle.
A TKiarrriNa okfeb.
To induce people t keep track of
their bright ideas and see what there is
iu them, the Press Claim Company has
resolved to offer a prize.
To the persons who submit to it the
simplest aud most promising inveution.
from a commercial point of view, the
company will give twenty live buudred
dollars in cash, iu addition to refuudiug
the fees for securiug the patent.
It will also advertise the invention
free of oharge.
This offer is subject to the following
condition:
Every competitor must obtaiu a patent
for his inventions through the company.
He must first apply for a preliminary
searoh, the cost of which will be five
dollars. Should this search show his
inveution to be unpatentable, he can
withdraw without further expeuse.
Otherw se he will be expeoted to com
plete his appliostioD aud take out I
putcut iu the regular way. The total
expruse, including Government aud
Bureau fees, will be seventy dollars.
For this whether he secures ths prize or
easy terms-
further information call at our office.
not, the inventor will have a patent that
ought to be a valuable property to him.
The prize will be awarded by a jury con-
sisting of throe reputable patent
attorneys of Washington. Intending
competitor) should fill the following
blank and forward it with their
application :

"I submit the within described in
vention in competition for the Twenty
five Hundred Dollar Prize offered by
the Press Claims Company.
NO BLANKS IN THE COMPETITION.
This is a competition of rather an un
usual natnre. It is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan all the competitors
risking the lose of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his tor the
amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is ask
ed merely to help himself, and the one
who helps himself to the best advantage
s to be rewarded for doing so. The
prize is only a stimulus to do some
thing that would be well worth doing
without it. The architect whose com
petitive plan for a club bouse on a cer
tain corner is not accepted has spent
bis labor on something of very little use
to him. But the person who patents a
simple and useful device in the Press
Claims Company's competition, need
not worry if he fail to secure a prize.
He has a substantial result to show for
his work one that will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man wbo uses any article In
bis daily work ought to know better how
to improve it than the mechanioal expert
who studied it only from the theoretioal
point of view. Get rid of the idea that
an improvement oan be too simple to be
worth patenting. The simpler the
better. The person who best succeeds
in combinhiRitnpHoity and popularity,
will get tV Press Claims Company's
twenty.flvfjinndred dollars.
The 1 responsibility of this company
may be juflged from the fact that its
stock is held by about three hundred of
the leading newspapers of the United
States.

THE WESTERN PEDAGOGUE.
We are in receipt of the May number
of our state school paper. It exoeeds
any of the former numbers it value.
The paper this month contains many
new and valuable features. The illus
trated series on the schools of the state
is introduced by a paper on the Friends
Polytechnic Institute at Salem, Oregon.
These papers oannot fail to be of great
value both to the schools and to the
publio.
There are also several fine articles
by our best writers and the departments,
"Current Events,""Saturday Thoughts,"
"Educational News" "The Oracle
Answers, Correspondents," etc, eaoh
oontain much valuable reading for
teachers or parents. The magazine
has about 50 pages of matter, well
printed and arranged. We pronounce
the Western Pedagogue the beat educa
tional monthly on the coast.
Everyone of oar readers should have
the paper if tbey are at all interested
in education. No teacher school direc
tor or student oan get along well with
out it. We will receive subscriptions
at this offioe. Fnoe only $1.00 a year.
When desired we will Bend the Western

To Quick One of James J. Corbett's
elements of sucoess is his extreme quick
ness, and it was demonstrated Friday
night when he and his company went
throogh a performance with the rapidity
of a greased thunderbolt cleaving the
atmosphere in order to catch the west
bound train which, contrary to reports,
was not held for their accommodation;
hut the feat proved financially dieast
eroua. The oompany managed to board
the traiu, but it went off without their
baggage car. The report is that it
afterward cost them $250 to haul their
oar out with a speoial engine. The
I company, it is said, got gito by their
t'eudleton performance, so they are

funny amusement. If you give man

to say "thank yon," hs has time to run

When the Market's Settled. Hon.
T. B. Fell writes:. "As soon as the market
gets settled, I Will be over for some
wool. What wool, and consequently,
woolen goods, will be worth after the
next session of Mr. Cleveland's congress,
o one knows, and buying wool and
making woolen goods is guess-work, to
a oertain extent. The large buyers will
operate light for some time, and only on
a lower basis. Small ones will have to
do so. We shall not buy muob before
Sept. except to run the mill." This is
the general feeling all over the country,
and indicates about what wool will be
worth this year.

Mr. and Mrs. Slagle formerly lived in

fully conducted a cattle venture. About
seven years ago they emigrated to Ar
kansas and have resided there ever since.
Her sudden demise was a sad blow to

THE OPEN SWITCH.
J.N ESTABLISHED SAFEGUARD.
Anybodv who ti avels by cars knows what
is meant by "an open snitch." It 'is the
terror of railroad men, and the dread of the
traveler. Its victims killed, horribly man
gled or maimed for life are numbered by
the score each year.
Yet even the dreaded " open switch " is not
so widely fatal as'is a certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily tilling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask.
It is Heart Disease " But," you reply, con
fidently, "J haven't any heart disease my
heart is all right." Are you SORE?
Dr. Ftanklm Miles, of Elkhart, Ind., the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor
ders of the heart are as common as those of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsuspected. The reason peo
ple are not aware of this important fact is
because symptoms of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source, it' you have shortness of breath,
fluttering or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
spells, your heart it affected.
"I had been troubled with heart disease
for years. M v left pulse was very weak, could
at times scarcely feel it, excitement would
weaken my nerves and heart, and fear of
impending death stared me in the face for
hours. Dr. Miles' Nervine and New Heart
Cure are the only medicines that have proved
of any benefit and cured me." L. M. DYER,
Cloverdale, Md.
" My wife has been taking Dr. iTdei Kew
Cure for the Heart. She thinks ltwonderful.
She has not been troubled with pain or
smothering spells since using it, We have
also used Dr. Milei? Pills, and we find them
all thev are claimed to be." GEO. L. FINK,
Philadelphia, Pa. '
These and hundreds of similar ' testimo
nials are convincing proofs of the wonderful
