Lo, the Poor Settler.
It seems that through some error
or fault of the land department, or
attorneys for claimants, quite a
number of tilings on railroad land
under the forfeiture act have been
rejected and .claimants notified to
make, supplement proof before
tbecal land office at La jSrande
or the county clerk of this county.
In. accordance with these instruc
tions, Mesnrs. vJeorjse Stages, James
LieualJen, Monroe Hicks and Matt
Isley went to Pendleton on Thurs
day evening and filed corrected ap
plications. . The question nojv occurs as to
the additional expense incurred by
these applicants. There is every
reason to believe '.he department is
at fault for not making all neces
sary rules and regulations govern
ingthe purchase of forfeited rail
road lands. If this be the case,
and in consideration of tb dtrt.
that there are many thousand poor j
eettiers on these lands who are un
justly required to travel long dis
tances and Jncur large expense, it
eems the government should either
grant a rebate of extra expense or

While there is an unusual amount of
this P'orer class of wheat this season,
especially in the vicinity of Downing
station, still the reporter has noticed
samples of good wheat on Agent J. D.
I-rael's desk equal to any wheat grown
last season.
The variety known as the English
Mole has been affected but very little
by heat. Mr. DeGraw exhibits a very

T. J. Price has about 40 acres' of this
vanity which averaged 30 bushels per
acre, good quality.
This wheat was introduced into this
county four years ago by Robert Jam e'

Among the larmers in Weston pre

J. B. Kennedy has finished thrcshin
a quarter section at his place near War

The largest yield so far reported from

Disastrous Record.
It will interest all railroad men
to recall that during the last three
years 0493 of their number have
been killed and 62,570 have been
injured. Great numbers of these
men, al faithful in the discharge of
their duties, many of them having
large families to support, have been
destroyed or maimed because the
congress of the United States does
not insist upon the employment by
the railroads of some uniform, im
proved system of coupling. This
is the terrible record of destruc
tion: Killed, 1888, 2070; 189,
1972; 18902451; total killed, G4U3.

Ask your Friends.
Who have taken Hood'ff Sarsaparilla
whet they think of it, and the replies
will be positive in its favor. One has
been cured of indigestion and dyspepsia, ,
another finds it . indispensable for sick
headache, others report remarkable
cures of scrofula, salt rheum and other
blood diseases, still others will tell you
that it overcomes "that tired feeling,"
ami so on. Truly, the best advertising
rhtuh "Aood'e 5arsaparllta""reoeiVW" is
the he irty endorsement of the army of
f iends it has won by its positive medi
cinal merit.
Yum! Yum!
The watermelon season is now
upon us and thresher crews aud
mall boys are happy. One of
Weston's citizens who enjoys the
intorioof a big melon thus sums
up his' views: "The plant has a
happy way of its own of sending
its roots down deep into the sand
and extracting from its cavernous
depths thatsuccharine matter which
makes the fruit so delicious to the
palate. And then, alter the rains
jmd the dews have brought abloom,
modest and blushing, to the trail
ing vine, the tierej sun sends a ray
darting like an arrow to pluck the
liower, and in its place soon appears
a bulb, green and ambitious, which,
shortly expands into huge propor
tions and assumes a rich color tan
talizing to the appetite of the nom
adic Senegambian, who will brave
the terws of watch-dog and shot
gun to snatch that melon in the
dark of the moon and hie him to a
trysting place to t rack the brittle
rind and bury his nose and mouth
in the watery meat."
