HARDMAN HOMESTEAD
la the title of a dimutire patent
outside sheet, the enterprise of E.
M. Shatt, the Times editor of this
city, to "bob up" in the little vil
lage of Hardman, this county, this
week. His assurance to that com
munity is that the land notices
will pay the expense of its publi
cation, and the town is to have a
real Jive paper of its own, com
paratively without cost (?), en
abling Hardman to exist inde
pendent of the press of the county
seat. To the thinking classes
these small "pills" are simply
neauseating. and are in a short
time consigned to the shelf of
dark closet What is wanted by
the intelligent taxpayers of a
county is a paper pribted at home,
embodying the local and court
news, which are vital to their in
terests. A medium through which
the business men can correspond
with the agriculturists and stock
men, upon whose products they
can depend for an existence. The
interest and value of this publi
cation depends entirely upon its
local support. IE tne paper is in
ferior in point of news and matter
pertaining to the county interests,
it is because the community fails
to encourage a capable and worthy
newsgatherer. Just as sure as an
enterprising local newspaper drops
out of existence, just so sure will
its locality, its individuals and its
business sink into obscurity. As
Heponer stands today, the busi
neas center, the county seat of
Morrow county, its comparison is
that to the hub of a wheel, around
which revolves the energy, enter
prise and prosperity of the county,
and the thrift with which the
county endows us alone draws the
attention of capital and admiration
to us. The closest ties of friend
ship should bind us together. In
terest in each other should not Hag
for a moment. The Gazette, un
der the present management, is
not here a secessionist, dancing
small factions away from the cen
ter. It is here for.the purpose of
solidifying the county interests
ana exciting rivalry only across
the boundary lines of its reserva.
tion.
entire Filipino army, and put an
end to the revolt in short order.
A little patience is sometimes a
good thing to have. General Otis
is an experienced commander.
He knows what to do, the obstacles
before him, and that he can have
anything he asks for from the ad
ministration to accomplish what
he is there to do. He has not had
a single reverse since assuming
command in the Philippines
Therefore, there is not a single
valid reason for supposing that
every Tom, Dick and Harry knows
better what he needs and what he
ought to have than be does him
self, while there is every reason
for confidently trusting that he
will succeed in due time in putting
down the revolt, and that none of
the direful predictions of bis fail
ure will be realized.
OREGON'S SOUVENIR
By yesterday's express we re.
coivcd three copies of the souvenir
of Oregon, printed and published
by 1'easlea Bros., of Portland, for
the National Editorial Association.
It is well edited and handsomely
illustrated and beyond any ques
tion the must elegant and artistio
publication of its kind ever pro.
duced in America. It speaks
volumes for the Htale of Oregon
Rud every community called upon
for co-oporation in its issue, failing
to respond, now have occasion for
chagrin.
To Usury Heppner and Hon.
J. L. Morrow, its patrons, Morrow
county and the city of Heppner
are indebted for a handsomely
illustrated page and a general
writeup of the county by the
editor of the Gazette. The enter
prise of these too founders of our
prosperous little city and county
entitles them to its first historic
consideration. Every member of
the association will carry to their
respective communities a copy of
it, and its content, published to
the world, will place Oregon in
recognition as a progressive state,
with resources, second to no state
in the Union.
The business of the Patent
Office, alwaya profitable to the
government has become more so
than ever under the capable ad
ministration of Commissioner
Duell. The weekly receipts of the
office are now averaging about
$5,000 more than they did a year
ago, and the number of patents.
trade-marks and labels issued last
week, was greater than have been
issued in one week since the spring
of lo'JU. when the record was
broken.
Poktland, July 8 Io tbe state oiroait

Amelia Jester against Lipman, Wolfe &
Co. returned a verdiot awarding Mra.
Jester $2500 damagea. Mra. Jester bad
been an employe of tbe firm and was
accused by hai of pilfering from tbeir

Chicago, July 5 Tbe tribune prints
atatistioi from 62 of tbe prinoipal cities
of the Dation, showing tbe results of
patriotio fire on July 4. Tbe number of
killed reported is three; injured 1074.
Fire losses due to fire works, $149,105.
Of lnjared 627 were bar! by cannon
orackers, 113 by toy cannons, 60 by
powder explosions, 5 9 by sky rooketp,
143 by guns and revolvers and 15 by
stray ballets.
It is expected that wheu Presi
dent McKinley returns to Wash
ington, ho will issue orders for the
recruiting of a volunteer force, not
necessarily to be sent to the Phil
ippines, but to be organized, drill
ed, and kept in readiness as an
emergency force, in case Gen. Otis
should decide at any time that he
needs more men than have already
boeu ordered to him. The admin
istration isn't a bit worried about
Gen. Otis, notwithstanding the
ravings of the hair-triggered edi
tors about the danger he is in, by
reason of Aguinaldo's alleged
preparation to attack Manila with
the largest Filipino army that line
yet been in the Hold. On the con
trary, the administration knows
that General Otis would regard it
as the greatest good fortune for
Aguinaldo to march his army
agaiubt Manila, as it would give
him exactly what be has been try
ing eo hard to get an opportunity
to fi)?ht pitpJjJ battle with h

Promising Property In Skylark Camp Owned
by Spokane Men.
Spokine Chronicle.
Under the supervision of John Dong
las, a force of men are working on the
Silver King claim, wbioh is situated in
Skylark oamp, and is owned by Spokane
parties. The Silver King lies in olose
proximity to the noted Skylark olaim,
and as far as work has progressed it Is
said the property is looking exceedingly
well, in faol, there is every indication
Ibat the shaft wbioh is being sunk is
nearing a large body of ore. 1 be Silver
King, as its name iodioalee, earriea its
prinoipal value in the white metal, of

tities in the state kaown aa ruby silver.
The vein wbioh was somewhat narrow
on the surface is now widening out, and
altogether the work done has been at

(the Wu Murdered.
Commenting upon the death of Violet
Johnsin, a Portland paper says: "Dr.
Do d hod, a physician, wbo carefully ex
amined tbe body at tbe request of tbe
aotiug oorooer and tbe gentlemen from
Arlington, gave it as his opinion tbat
ana Dad oeen mardered. There were
braises on ner fsoe, Dreast and arms,
showing black and blue marks as if
made witb a smooth olub. Tbe akin was
broken in several plaoes. She was
either killed outright and thrown into
tbe river, or else knocked senseless and
put into tbe water. Violet baa been io
Arlington about three months, having
come from Heppner. It is said tbat sbe
was married once, but left her husband,
and that her parents live in Linn
oonnty, nesr Eagene. It is likely that
the people of Stevens oounty will give
the unfortunate woman Christian burial,
something better than a winding sheet
and an isolated grave witb only a rnde
headboard. Tbe grave strewn with
wild flowers plucked by hands of strong
men unused to such scenes, is located in
a wild, ragged epot close beside tbe
cruel river wbiob smothered ber life out.
Tbe Gaeoade mountain peaks rise op as
sentinels Io guard tbe lonly resting place
of tbe unfortunate, and tbe tall fir trees
mingle their dirges with tbe mournful
ripple of lbs great Columbia. Whatever
her lite may have been, it was precious
Io ber aod no one bad a rigbl to take it
from ber. Her slayer ought to be meted
out the same fate as his victim. John-
spa was not tbe woman's right name.
8be lived in Ibis oity for a shot! time in
the sporting ciroles of North Portland
and was considered above the average
of her elasa. Mhe left her borne about
three years ago to enter npon a wild
career and it is said tbat bar folks never
tried to reclaim her. They may yet give
ber more nf a rivilitsd burial, which Is
I lie last aud otilv thloit the can do."

Saturday with Roy 8, a Del Norte colt Mr.
Baddeley backed the caution colt to the extent

there were not a few side bets, and the race be
came an interesting one, both from a financial

Indian George (raediclan man), found dead
near Bonanza Wednesday of last week, was
murdered. He had been dead for more than a
week before his body was found. The finding
of his nearly starved horse In the brush about
fifty yards from the road, led to tbe gastly dis
covery. The stench from the body had been
observed by passers by for several days, but no
one suspected that an old-time aboriglnee of
the country lay dead uearby. The back of his
head was crushed in. It Is supposed that Pitt

grudge against the man, whose chantings Sin
the days gone by failed to bring bim renown as
a healer of the alck. "Murdered by unknown
