J., National Organizer for the Socialis e, lelivered an address to a good sized an- iience in the open air on Main etreet Monday evening. Goebel is an interesting speaker, and unlike moBt of those spreading the So- :ialist doctrine, does not revile the Rockefellers, Goulds ami Morgans, lie holds they are appSyitig their intelli gence to their own interests, and p'uees ttie responsibility, in a large measure, for existing conditions upon the toiler?, who represent 83 per cent of the voters. He hold that if the latter wi.l look to heir interests as intelligently as llocke feller and the other great capitalists look to theirs, and vote accordingly, condi tions will be changed quickly. The speaker s id he had two objects in view in addressing his audience, lie toped to make Socialism plainer, and wanted to present his arguments in suoh a manner that nobody could ac cuse him of throwing mud. Goebel said he had no apologies to offer for any mistakes in grammar lie might make. '(Jo to the capitalistic system, which takes children at 9 years ot age es it did me, and puts them in tbe factories and workshops for any apologies for bad grammar," said Goebel. The speaker stated he was nearing the end of a trip which, when com pleted, would embrace every State and erritory in the Union, and he was pre pared to say that Socialism is rapidlv growing. In Arizona the representatives of the old political parties, recognizing the etrength cf the Socialist vote, had sought to treat with the Socialists in the distribution of political offices. The Socialists are not trying to ac- comp'iph miracles, but are trying to get rid of evils which tbe people them selves are partly responsible for. lie referred to the progress ot the move ment in Germany, France and Italy, and despite the gains made in those countries, predicted that Socialism would achieve its first complete tri umph in America. This prediction was b'tse d on his belief that the American people, while probably slower to act in taking the initiative, once they awaken to a situation, they grasp it and deal with it in a vigorous manner. G elu'l declared that under Socialism ri li::ion would have the first f iir show in its history, and added that there could not be brotherhood among men as long as the competitive system exists and there is only one job for two men. He denied that the Socia'ists want to make men good by law, but declaied that no man could walk straight in a crooked street, and therefore there could be no brotherhood -s long as con ditions are directly opposed to it. The speaker said lie had no patience with those who olaim to be intelligent and insist that Socialism and Anarchy are one and the same thing. He di vided the Anarchists into two classes the Anarchist "reds" and the philo sophical Anarchists. The former con stitute a very small proportion of tbe main body, and believe that a change of conditions for the better can be brought about by the assassiration of rulers and those in high places. Only a diseased brain could entertain such a belief, Goebel said, and be dismissed the "reds" from further consideration. The philosophical Anarchists would even destroy the community interests in the schoo's, and under them tbe people w ould not own and control them as now. Socialism would not only keep control of the schools by tbe people, but would extend public ownership to all public utilities, on tbe ground that everything used in common should be owued in common. The old political parlies have no eo lation of the problem which confronts tbe people today, Goebel declared. They talk of tariff, bat the tariff doea not settle the question. Germany has a high protective tariff, England has free trade, and France takes the middle ground with a tariff for revenue only. In these countries, representing all phases of tariff, the conditions are the same as in America, with an over pro duetionof foodstuffs, men are going hungry; with an over pioduction of shoes, men are going shoeless. According to Government statistics, tUe speaker said, a far smaller percent Mge of people own their homos than was the cae forty years ago, despite the fact that the producing capacity of the country is nine times greater than it was then. Ti.cn there were only a few million aires, w hile recently a New York paper published a list cf .'343 men who are worth SI. 000,000 or more. Goebel said significantly that when Rome went down. ; per cent of its pop ulation owned its wealth, and when Egypt feli its wealth was in the hands of 2 per cent of its population. Prohibition hy Counties. Prohibition leaders of Oregon have practically decided that at the Novem ber election they will seek to carry out tbe provisions of the local option law that was recently passed, by groups of precincts. The law provides that special elections may be held either by counties or by precincts for the purpose of voting on the question of prohibition. Since the passage of the law there lias been considerable discussion concerning the method that would be adopted, and meetings have been held for the purpose of considering the proposition. If the expected action is taken by the Trobibitionista there will be no effort at the November election to carry prohibi tion in single precincts, but only in counties as a whole. diy, and the latter will place the val uable animal at the head of his herd. Mr. Minor considers that he disposed of it cheaply at $500, but the consideration includes bis keeping it until after the state fair from September 12 to 17. The bull was bred and raided by Mr. Minor and has taken first prizi for two years in the Oregon and Washington circuit, comprising five fairs each seaso-i in the leading cities of the two states.

Graves, of Spokane, Tues- A party named Thomas from Sau Francisco was driven out by J. T Khk to ono of the numerous deposits in this country of a white looking ash or min eral. He pronounced it to be valuable in soap making and scouring and con tracted for the delivery in Heppner of several hundred sacks of it, to be shipped to his California address. The substance whatever it is, is most plenti ful and may be seen by anyone on the hillside wect of town. Frobably it is at: ash, formed by the burning of a plenti ful shrub or p'ant when this couinrj was tropical. It pulverizes at a touch to an exceedingly fine dust, and id prob ably rich in nitrogen, that most val uable element in all fertilizer h. There is no doubt that if converted to a paste and hardened it will put an edce ou tbo finest steel. Its great abundance w:l: serve to cheapen it whatever uses may be found for it, for it exis's everywhere in this oount-v Impaired Digestion May not be all that is meant by dtps'i & now, but it will be if neglected. Tbe uneasiness after eating, fits of nerv ous headache, sourness of the stomai h, ami disagreeable belching may not be very bril now, but they will be if the stomach U suffered to grow weaker.
