B. Bishop. Judge Bishop was one of the earliest ot Oregon's pioneers, hav ing oonoe here when the country was new and Eastern Oregon contained no town excepting The Dalles. He was a prominent citizen of tbat city during the days when it was the distributor for the whole country east to Boise. He was one of the principal promoters and owners of tbe Oregon Steam Navi gation oompany, wbioh was later merged into tbe Oregon Railway & Navigation oompany and now operates one thousand miles of trackage, with eteamboat lines on the Columbia and Willamette rivers, and an ooean steam ship line playing between Portland and San Franoisoo. He was during recent years a resident of Pendleton, and took a prominent part in the formation of Umatilla oounty. He lately wrote on artiole for the East Oregoniaq piotorial historical edition wbioh related an in cident ot one of tbe Indian wars of early days which had never before been put in print. During the contest over the lo cation ot tbe oounty seat, when Pen dleton and Umatilla were rivals and were straining every nerve to win in the fight, Judge Bisbop oame up here from tbat town and arrested the sheriff on a warrant issued by Judge WiIboo of The Dalles. From the "History of Umatilla oounty," wbioh appeared in the historical number is taken the fol lowing for publication : "Judge B. B. Bishop, now in Pendle ton, was tbe man who oame up from Umatilla in 1869, armed with authority. to oo in pel the officers to return to Uma tilla. He oame to arrest Sheriff O. F. Thompson, on a warrant from Judge Wilson, of the oirouit court, aod bis ap pearance and the suooess of his mission were tbe ocoasion of much wailing and gnashing ot teeth on the part of Pen dletonians. However, their protesta tions were in vain, and the oounty seat, after tbe court rulings had been ren. dered, went baok to the town ou the Columbia. But, revenge was as sweet in those days as now, and it was not long before Judge Wilson again ren dered the deoision before referred to, which settled the legal controversies and gave Pendleton the permanent oounty seat. In conversation with tbe writer, Judge B. B. Bishop told tbe story, and remarked that the final re moval to Pendleton bad proven the best thing that oould have been done, al though, at tbe time, tbe people of Uma ilia regarded it as a bitter pill to swal low. When tbe books and seals were finally brought to Pendletou, they were literally stolen io tbe night, and brought up to Pendleton on a "bob-sleigh," tbe ones aosoonaing with them knowing they bad tbe law on their side, and re sorting to such measures only beoause the people of Umatilla refused to allow tbem to be taken away in open day light." Judge Bisbop bas been a practicing attorney of late years in Pendleton. He is survived by Mrs. Bishop, and Miss Bell Bishop, of Pendleton; Mr. Ed Bisbop, of Heppner; aod a married daughter wbo lives in the slate of Wash ingtou. E. O. Scromla ABOUT TAXES. Is a deep-seated blood disease which all the mineral mixtures in the world cannot cure. S.S.S. (guaranteed purely vegetable ) is a real blood remedy for blood diseases and has no eqnal. Mrs. Y. T. Buck, of Delaney, Ark., had Scrofula for twenty-five years and most of the time was under the care of the doctors who could not relieve her. A specialist said he could cure her, but he filled her with arsenic and potash which almost ruined ber constitution. She then took nearly jg every so-canea Diooa medicine and drank them by the wholesale, but they aid not reach her trouble. Some Jpip' one advised her to try b.b.b. ana she very soon found that she had a real blood remedy at last. She says: "After tak ing one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I am perfectly well, my skin is clear and healthy and I would not be in my former condition for two thousand dollars. Instead of drying up the poison in my system, like the potash and arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out through the skin, and I was perma nently rid of it." A Real Blood Remedy, b.b.S. never tails to cure Scrofula, Eczema, Rheumatism Contagious Blood Poison, or any disorder of the blood. Do not rely upon a simple tonic to cure a deep-seated blood disease, but take a real blood remedy. Uur books free upon appli cation. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. THE CANTATA. Qneen Esther Presented at the Opera House Last Evening by Local Talent A BaooeBS Last evening Heppner people had the opportunity of hearing tbe biblical story, "Esther, The Beautiful Queen," present ed in song, or to use tbe term of singers, in "cantata." It was all under the di rection of Prof. J. S. Henry, and the participants were members ot his sing ing olass. Taking into consideration that many were novioes, tbe rendition- of tbe can tata was very good. Indeed there were several surprises, many wbo were not known to sing, acquitting themselves most oreditably. possessing excellent voices. Tbe Gazette congratulates Prof. Henry and his olass on their splendid showing. The prooeeds will be given to Heppner's churches, and will be repeated again this evening when it is hoped tbat a large audience will greet tbe presenta tion ot this beautiful song story.

Misses Myra Yeager and Elsie Driskell Tbe Gazette was Correct, Yet the Statement ts Misleading.-Judge Bartholomew Talks. Editor Garzttb: In your issue of the 23rd inst. there appears tbe following: "The tax levy this year amounts in all to 31 mills in Morrow county, a com pared with 41 mills last year. This is a muob needed rednotion and will be appreciated muoh by our tax-ridden denizens." Now unintentionally the above item makes a statement which Bbouid be correoted. The tax levy in tbe oounty this year for all purposes is 20 mills as against 22 mills last year, and the spe oial sohool tax, distriot No. 1, and tbe tax for tbe town ot Heppner combined is 11j mills, against 19 mills last. wnicb makes tbe total tax for school distriot No. 1 and Heppner 81 mills as against 11 mills last year, and not the entire oounty. I agree with you that taxation should be reduoed to tbe lowest possible limit consistent with good busi ness management of our oounty, school district and oity affairs, but think your allusion to our citizens as "tex-ridden denizens" is perhaps a little too strong to go out to tbe world as tbe conditions existing in our county. I have taken the trouble to address a communication to eaob oounty judge in Eastern Oregon requesting tbem to give me the amount ot their tax levy tor 1896, aud also the date to which their oounty warrants are paid , replies to nearly all of whioh have been re eeived. From these oommunioations I find that but one oounty (Umatilla) bas a less oounty levy, and that but one (Gilliam) leads us in payment of war rants, while some have a county levy as high as 29 mills and are ten years be hind in payment of warrants. Everything indicates a speedy reduc- ot our county indebtedness, and our county oan be run on as small a levy as BDy in Eastern Oregon. A. G. Bartholomew. Maroh 24, 1897. Backlen's Arnica Salve.
