The Gazette.
Tiiuesday, August 24, 1899.
AS WE VIEW IT.
The editor of the Gazette is no
politician. He has been schooled
in the walks of plain businessjand
his intimate associates have been
men more of the business world
than (of the political. We do not
think that we would shine as a
ward politician or local boss. That
has not been our training or ambi
tion. It has, therefore, been the
purpose of the editor of the Ga
zette to present in the editorial
columns of this paper thoughts in
keeping with his world's educa
tion. . To have done otherwise
would have ended in a mesa of the
whole business.
With the same zeal that the Ga
zette has attempted to support the
affairs of the town and community,
it has used in other matters, not
counting on the cost of it to itself or
to any individual. In this it is free
and independent, so far as persons
are concerned. We may be parti
san, because in support of republi
can principals it becomes neces
sary to remain a partisan.
With this view the Gazette has
supported the administration of
William McKinley, and will con
tinue to do so until the end. It is
one of the many earnest advocates
for his re-nomination.
It does not require any apologies
on our part to stand by the repub
lican party or the administration
of President McKinley. He has
added luster to our flag by the
excellent manner in which he con
ducted the Spanish-American war;
by bis magnificent appeals to the
patriotism of our people, both
North and South, and by his un
swerving integrity in all affairs of
the executive department of our
government. No man has ever
filled the chair who has been so
near the people, and who has more
ably and earnestly represented
their wishes.
Mr. McKinley is the natural
candidate of the republican party,
and is so recognized everywhere,
His work well begun should be
ended by him. The Gazette has
no doubt but this will be the ver
dict of the republican party, which
will be endorsed by the nation.
THE HORSE.
The horse is going out of fash
ion. The trolley car, the bicycle
and now the automobile are work
ing a great change and the horse
is no longer the "beast of burden"
he was. In the big eastern cities
the postal authorities are about to
substitute automobiles for horse
drawn vehicles in the collection
of the mails. The express com
panies are expeiimenting with the
view of using the horseless car
riage in the business. St. Louis
has an automobile street sweeper
which is a success. It is apparent
that within a few more years the
horse will no longer be seen upon
the streets of great cities, with a
lessening of the smells and filth
for which he is largely responsi
ble and a great decrease in the ex
pense of keeping the streets clean
and more success in preserving
the health of people packed to
gether in the crowded city. Ex.

INTERNATIONAL TRUSTS.
It is a great mistake to think
that a system of competition
closely analogous to warfare can
survive indefinitely as between
nations when the competitive
system has been abandoned in the
domestic field. For a while the
Standard Oil trust maintained its
competitive fight for trade in the
uttermost parts of the earth
against the immense petroleum
monopoly that works the oiljfields
of Russia and Contral Asia. But
uxporieuco has shown that it is
far more profitable for these vast
commercial entities to arbitrate
than to fight; aud it is understood
that they now get along very wel
together by the simple device of
uiviuing up me market ou geo
giaphical lines. The trreat mo
nopolies of the industrial worl
will rapidly follow the example of
the great political powers and map
out their possessions, protecter
ates, spheres of intlueuce, and so
on. In some industries, without a
doubt, there will soon appear the
international trust, controlling the
whole planet as respects a partic
ular line of production. But ow
ing to the fact that corporations
must derive their powers from
government, while corporation
laws differ greatly iu different
countries, it will be found easier
in most cases to do away with com
petition by agreements fixing
prices, spheres of exploration, and
so forth, rather than by interna
tional consolidation The obvious
fact is that business aud politics
are becoming constantly more
closely interrelated, and tho very
same forces of civilization that are
becoming constantly more closely
iuteiroltttod and that the very
same forces of civilization that are
making war obsolete and insuffer
able are also tendiug toward the'
abandoment of tho competitive
system in industry and trade,
And these new forces are bringing
about stupendous changes at a
rate which outstrips the predic
tions of the most enthuiastic

Harry Phillip Writes Mont lnterreitlng
Letter Detailing His Trip North.
Mountain Meadow House,
Okeoogan Co., Aug 14, 1899.
Dear Editob: Having promiied to
write ooDoerniDg oar trip and looation,
I will endeavor to do bo.
We had a pleasant trip, pasting
tbrongb some of the beautiful oitles of
Oregon, inolrjdiog Pendleton and
Athena, where we stayed a day visiting
relatives, and from there through Weston
and Milion ; also some of Washington's
oities, including Walla Walla, Presoott,
Washtnpney Springs, Ritzvllle, Coulee
City, Douglas and Waterville. After
spending a few days at Waterville with
relatives, we started for the beautiful
Lake Chelan, a distanoe of 18 miles, ar
riving there at about 4 o'olook in the
afternoon. Pitohing oar tent and mak
ing onr oamp pleasant, we determined
to enjoy ourselves on the lake, wbiob
we did by boat riding and tlsbing. The
lake is indeed a beautiful plaoe, situated
between two large mountains, extending
about 70 miles up into the mountains,
its width being from a half to three
quarters of a mile. After spending the
Fourth, we returned to Waterville, and
leaving the family there, started to Re-
paDiio witn a load or lreigbl, accom
panied by George Duran. I found a
rather rough oamp, but not muob of a
town. Don't like the looation ae well as
the Blnte Creek mioeo.
From Waterville we started for Brew
ster, the bead of navigation oo the CO'
lumbia river, wbiob has one of the most
beautiful harbors on the Columbia.
We are now boated on the new road
between Brewster and the Slate Creek
mines. I have one of the most beautiful
plaoes in Washington. It is unsarveyed
land, was taken np by another party
some years bnolt, but was left on accouot
of no road. The road now runs through
the center of the meadow, which includes
about a hundred acres. We are four
teen miles from Brewater, ten miles from
Silver, ten miles from Mr. ltuark's,
a . ...
former reBiuent or ueppner, ana our
nearest neighbor is at a distanoe of
about fonr miles. Have a spring about
one hundred feet from where we are
ereoting our maosion, consisting of
log house. We have been here two
weeks, my family and myself being satis
flod with the ranoh. It is not lonesome
here, the stage panning by every day
carrying mail from Brewster to Win-
tbrop, a distauoe of 40 miles. The freight
teams also paas, going to the Hlate Creek
mines. We are intending starting
waysnto station. In foot, we have bad
about a dozen people to eat meals here
already.
I have one of the tloest dugs In Wash
ingloo or Uregoo, be is getting so be
will carry my birds to me. I went hunt
Ing yesterday and brought borne eigb
teen grouse and pheasants. I am in my
glory, as I can go out and kill a bear,
deer, oougar, panther, or m st any wild
animal I wish.
Give my best reuarde to all friends.

From the Springs.
Lrhhan Springs, Ore., Aug. 22 It
has been raining here for torly-eigbl
hours, and from all appearance it will
probably oontioue forty-eight more.
The pleasure-seekers can be seen hover
iug around their stoves and oamp-fires,
looking forlorn and very muob disgusted,
but in spite of rain a orowd managed to
meet iu a cabin Sunday evening and
give a oaudy-pull, which was quite a
suooess, I assure you. Glenn Busbee
of Pendleton, oarried away the "royal
prize" for having the whitest oandy,
while Louis Bisbee received tbe"booby"
fur having the blackest, ae be forgot to
remove some of tbo real estate from bit
hands.
There are about 50 people here at the
present writing.
lluoklebxrri a are plentiful, aud
parties went out every day ontil the
rain interfered.
Thorearetwo hotels here; the Hotel
d' Endiuoll, and the Hotel d' Buckley.
The Utter carries away the honors, as
only first class help is employed, the
cook having worked atDelmonico't.N.Y.
The rain baa driven the daooera from
the ball, so tbe host and bostest have
kindly tffered tbe diningroom for a
dauct ball. The first party will be
given this eveuing. Kvery one is look
ing forward with much pleasure to lbs
eveut. j
Some of the lieppoer boyt leave today.
Mr. Matleton and Mr. Buckley I under
stand are among those going. Tbe
others will probably stay for a week.
As the carrier of this letter is ready to
depart will bring this to an end. j
A Camper
San Jo3E, Cal. Aug 14 -It is reported
here that Alfred Holmao, the well known
Oregon journalist, ba acquired a large
interest in tbe Daily Mercury newspaper
of this oily, and that he will shortly take
editorial o barge.
Nkw York, Aug. 18. The yatch
Shamrock, challenger for tbe American
oup, reached port tuday, accompanied by
the steam yacht Erin. The Shamrook
sailed from Fairlie, August 3, and made
the trans-Atlantic voyage in much quicker
time than anticipated Tbs Erin towed
the Shamrook about 2000 miles, and tbe
latter sailed something more than 1200
miles.
London, Aug. 19 Tbe latest franobUe
kite from Pretoira failed of its expected
effect. It is merely regarded as a devioe
to gain time. There is no cessation of
war preparations on either eide. Tbe
Transvaal government is beginning to
move troops to tbe border and tbe polioe
on tbe frontier have been ordered to
striotly prohibit aoy cattle leaving the
oountry, while the treasury of tbe re
public is receiving large amounts of
gold, sums beyond ordinary requirements.
Milwaukee, Aug. 18 -Speoial Master
Cary announces that be has completed
tbe sale of tbe Northern Pacific lands
east of the Missouri river and later on
will present bis report to Judge Jenkins.
As a result tbe general oreditors of tbe
Northern Pacific Railroad Company will
receive a dividend of about 2Jj percent
on their oliims, which amounts to some
thing over 8100,000,000. The master
realized $1,563,000 from the sale of tbe
lands, and there is added to this amount
about $1,000,000 wbiob the receivers have
on hand from tbe sales of land. The
largest creditor is tbe Northern Paoifio
Railway Co., the present owner of the
property, wbiob has a claim amounting
to, with interest, about $90,000,000.
Astoria, Ang. 18 About 10:20 this
morning during a heavy ebower of rain,
the nsual phenomenon of a water spout
was plainly visible at Ilwaoo and Fort
Canby. It originated just off tbe dock
at the fort, and was about 20 feet in
diameter. After attaining full propor
tions it moved off in tbe direction of
Fort Stevens on the Oregon shore,
traversing the full length ofSand island,
browing immense logs of driftwood and
tons of sand high into tbe air. After
leaving tbe island it veered abruptly to
tbe eastward and orossing Baker's bay
disappeared. Tbe sight was witnessed
by hundreds of people on the beach.
Across Sand island is plainly visible a
deep gully, cut through tbe sand by tbe
water spout. In tbe track across tbe bay
many tishing boats narrowly
being oaught.

Burrs, Montana, Ang. 13 -A man who
sheds bis tkin in its entirety once a year
and wbo has done so regularly for the
the last 48 years is one of the onriosities
that Butte boasts of. Tbe man J. M.
Price, a fairly well eduoaled miner is
at the present time engaged iu the ouri
ous pasatime of skinning himself. Tbe
method that he adopts is to first skin his
bands and face and then strip it in an
immense sheet from bis body. Tbe
prooess of skinning bis hands and faoe
was completed yesterday and came from
the face like a nrnnk. The ekiu from tbe
bands resembled a pair of giovs and
were exhibited on tbs streets yesterday,
Tbe toughness is something remarkable
and two men tried with might and main
to tear it. Tbey were not successful, al
though the skiu is not thicker than tbe
leather of a mtn's street glove. Price
talks freely about the matter, although
be is rather tender about soy publication
in the newspapers. Many physicists
have examined him during the period of
the skioniog, but not one has been able
ti solve tbe problem. In speaking of the
matter yesterday Mr. Price said: "There
is no particular pain aooompanying the
operation, although the new skin is very
soft and tender during tbe first week or
ten days. I have to lay of for about two
weeks each year to attend to it. My
children do not inherit the disease from
me. There is one of them 9 years of age
and there has been nothing of the kind
ever notioej wun ner. Meyers! years
ago I was in San Franoisoo when I shed
my skin and tbe doctors there preserved
it in its entirety and then staffed it. I
am a miner, but my work in the mines
does not affect my oonditioa in any way
tbat I oan see. My general health is
good even if I do have skin to throw to
tbe birds."
Who Will be Our Nrit t'reniiknt?
Politicians are now planning for the
presidential campaign of 1900, but the
war bat so overshadowed all other
matters that politics is almost unnoticed
Many people are of the opinion that the
candidates will be the same as in 1816.
but Ibere may be a "dark horse" wbo
will win the race. Popularity has much
to do with candidates. Tbia is also true
with medicine. The most popular rem
edy today is Hoetetter't Stomach Bitters,
and it has retaiued tbia for many years.
Scienoe never discovered tbe equal of
this medicine for stomach, liver and
kidney diseases. It builds np solid tieeh
tissue, i mparts vigor and vitality to all
organs, and make life worth living, A
bottle will make a big change for the
betfer. Try it.

Grant County News.
While tbe cry of bard times oan be
beard in other sections. Canyon City,
John Day, Prairie Oily, Quartzburg, and
in faot every one of our sister towns are
enjoying an era of prosperity almost ap
proaohiog a boom.
Plaoer mines, quartz mines, copper
mines, are running at full blast in every
direotioo, and a true statement of the
aggregate output would astonish the
most credulous.
Thousands of bead of onttle and sheep
are driven out of Graut county every
season and tbe oash returns from this
source alone is simply marvelous.
All skilled workmen are employed and
men to work in the harvest fields, that
have bad experience in tbat direction,
cannot be had.
There are no tramps bare and none
would be permitted to remain. Every
body bas money, because till are at work.
The oarpenters, stone masons, painter,
blacksmiths, miners all are busy.
Cereals of all kinds always yield
good average in Grant countv, and while
the acreage under cultivation is not
large there is always sufficient grown
for home consumption, and as what we
do raise is of tbe very highest grade a
good price is obtained for it and the
farmer is happy aooo'diogly. There is
ready sale for all tbe bay that cn ba
out, and vegetables and fruit command
a good fat prioe.
Tbe John Day valley fruit cannot be
beat. Unlike the fruit raised in most
sections, it is free from all blights. Tbe
orop bas been enormous and hnckle
berries are found in great quantities
through tbe mountains.
Our people are all workers, and oot
afraid to tackle anything that comes in
their way.
Grant oounty is on top and will re
main there.
About one month ago my child, which
is fifteen months old, bad an attack of
diarrhoea aooompanied by vomiting. I
gave it Mich remedies as are usually giv
en in snoh oasrs, bnt as nothing gave re
lief, we sent for a physician and it was
under his care for a week. At this time
the child bad been sick for a boot ten days
and was having about twenty-five opera
tions of the bowels everv twelve hours,
and we were oonvinoed that unless it
soon obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy was recommended, and I
decided to try it. I soon noticed a change
for tbe better; by ita continued use a
complete cure was brought about and it
is now perfectly bealthy. O. I. Boggs,
