MITCHELL IS ILL.
Oregon Senator lias
back.
Serious Set-
Washingten, Feb. 7. Senator Mitchell
has not made material progress this
week, in fact on Friday he bad a
serious set-back, but today is again on
the road to recovery. n Monday last
the Senator left his room and took
dinner in the hotel dining-room. He
also attempted to look after some of his
official business, and apparently over
taxed his strength, for, except for 6hort
periods, he has not been out of bed
during the remainder of the week. His
long confinement in bed has very great
ly weakened his condition, and it is
Blowly indeed that he recovers his
strength. For the past week or more
he has has practically no more stomach
or bowel trouble and suffers none except
from confinement.
The Seuator's physician has insisted
all along that Senator Mitchell was
steadily improving and tonight told The
Oregonian correspondent that the "Sen
ator would be out some time the follow
ing week." This is the same statement
he made a week ago, and the week pre
ceding. For all that, Senator Mitchell
does no appear to be gaining strength as
rapidly as was hoped. It is his weak
ness that is now his greatest ailment,
and his insistence upon work appears
to retard his progress.
9'riti ill- EI.-irveli!Mv Ice.

Old as the Pyramids
And as little changed by the ages, is
Scrofula, than which no disease, save
Consumption, is responsible for a larger
mortality, and Consumption is its out
growth. It affects the glands, the mucous
membranes, tissues and bones; causes
bunches in the neck, catarrhal troubles,
rickets, inflamed eyelids, sore ears,
cutaneous eruptions, etc.
"I suffered from scrofula, the disease af
fecting the glands of my neck. I did every
thing I was told to do to eradicate it, but
without success. I then began taking
Hood's Sarsaparilla, and the swelling in my
neck entirely disappeared and my skin re
sumed a smooth, healthy appearance. The
cure was complete."- Miss Anita Mitchell,

A Salem dispatch of recent date says:
The people living on fourteen townships
of northwestern Grant county known as
the Monument country desire to be an
rexed to Morrow county. Representa
tive Ci. W. Phelps has received a com
parative statement of the assessed
valuation of the region and the whole of
Grant county accompanied by maps and
descriptions of the townships that are
under consideration. The names of
ninety-two tax payers are given and the
total assessed valuation of property as
found on the assessor's books of Grant
countv of the fourteen townships is
$150,350. The region is convenient to
Morrow county and Heppner as a coun
ty seat. The agitation for a change was
commenced by the people of Monument
last bummer, but the statement and
maps mentioned were not prepared
until recently an 1 fent to Mr.
Phelps. He has the matter under

G. W. Waters spent last week in
terviewing some of our big woolgrowers
ascertaining their views on the ad
visability of putting in a sheepshearing
machine to remove the wool of this
section, says the Burns Times-Herald.
He found that all favored the move and
has the pledge of enough sheepmen to
justify the establishment of the enter
prise and Mr. Waters and Jenkins Bros,
are arranging to have two Cooper Sheep
shearing Machine plants in readiness
for the spring shearing. It is claimed
that these machines are not only rapid,
but will takeoff at least two, pounds
more wool to the sheep than by hand,
besides taking all dirt off the animal
whioh is of material benefit to its
health.
These plants will have a capacity of
three thousand head per day acd will
enable the sheep men to finish their
shearing in a much shorter time and get
their sheep away quickly to summer
range.
No doubt the promoters will have a
good and prosperous business from the
start. The plant will be so arranged
that they can be moved from place to
place. Gasoline engines will be used
for power.

Cattle Starving at Hiilsey.
Haleey, Or., Feb. 7. The frosty
weather is compelling the farmers to
feed all their stock, and feed is in great
demand. Sheep and cattle are poorer
than they have been for years, and are
dying to a marked degree. There is
scarcely any grass, and what there is
dof s not seem to have much strength.
The farmers say that the crowds of
grasshoppers that traversed the country
last summer not only destroyed the
gardens, but evon killed the grass.
