PROVIDENCE IN OREGON.
"I never advise a man to leave
his own town," he said to the
small crowd surrounding him at
the Union Depot the other day;
"but if any of you are bound to
change localities, Oregon is the
country to go to, 1 am on nvy
wajback there, and there's noth
ing you can ask about Oregon
that I can't tell you." "How's
the. climate?" "Superb. It's
never too hot nor cold. Provi
dence watches the weather out
there like a hawk." "Lots of In
juns?" "Yes; but they can't do
any damage. Providence -always
gives the settlers ample warning,
or else leads the red men into a
trap." "Some hard cases out
there, arn't there?" "Xot very
hard. "When a man gets tou bad
Providence kills him off." "How
did 3tou lose 3'our leg?" asked a
hack-driver, as the conversation
flagged. "I'll tell you about it.
I've mentioned Providence and
Oregon in the same breath, and I
want to prove that there is a spec
ial dispensation out there. 1 was
going up the Delros road to a
grist mill one day last September
when I found a four-ounce bottle
of chloroform in the road. About
a mile further on I met a grizzly
bear as large as a steer.
I had no weapon, and 1 know I
was boxed up. To run was use
less, and no living man ever looked
a grizzly out of countenance. I
always try to make the best of
every situation, and when I found
myself cornered, I opened the
bottle of chloroform and inhaled
sufficient to make me unconscious,
while in this state the bear made a
breakfast of my left leg, and I
never feit one single twinge of
pain." There was a sensation
in the crowd and all pressed
nearer. "When 1 came to, the
bear had disappeared, and just at
that time the Bed Valley coach
drove up; providentially, two of
the passengers had fallen over a
precipice so that there was room
inside. When we got to Brown's
hill we found a surgeon there
who had been chased in by Indi
ans that very morning, and he
fixed me up in an hour. I saw
the hand of Providence all through
it, as plain as I see the hotel over
there." "Did Providence get that
cork leg for you?" inquired a man
near the door. "Certainly it did;
I lay in bed two months, and when
I took the stage-coach for Port
land we came across the body of
a poor stranger who had been
murdered by highwaymen. He
had a cork leg and it was my fit.
This is the identical lesr, and let
me add in conclusion that
haven't begun to give Providence
and Oregon half their just dues."

1 ne 1'aiousc uazcue savs: w e
have lately talked with a great
inany immigrants, who have been
looking for homes m this county.
They all complain that all the land
is claimed by some one, and they
seem to be very indignant that the
old settlers should endeavor to
smuggle so much of the land, One
man said to us: 'I have traveled
for three or four miles without see
ing a house, and yet every foot of
that land was claimed by some
one. When I enquire of an old
settler for vacant land, he general
ly says there is none in this vicin
ity.' Unless something is
done at once to induce peo
ple to abandon these 'dum
my claims' and give the immi
grants an opportunity to get a
home, we are going to to turn the
tide of immigration away from the
Palouse country. Hardly one
acre in fifty in this part of the
country is being put to any use,
yet the land hunter is sent away
because everybody says, 'there is
no vacant land here.' Either
make use of the land or let some
one have it that will."
There are at the present time
154 petitions on the dockets of the
district courts throughout the state
praying for a divorce. In 100 of
these cases the plaintiff is a
woman.
Salmon Train Proposed.
A well known cannery man has
been making efforts during the
past week to get up a train load of
Columbia river salmon, of twenty
or thirty cars, and make it the
first through shipment from Port
land over the Northern Pacific.
He sa3s large dealers in New
York are holding back with their
orders until the completion of the
road, so as to save The freight be
tween Astoria and San Francisco.
The company propose in case a
train load is offered, to label each
car suitably, to give it precedence
over all otuer lreiirui ana senu 11
through on a fast schedule. There
is peculiar fitness in the sugges
tion. Salmon is strictly an
Oregon product, and a train
load of the roal food, as it pass
ed through St. Paul, Chicago,
Pittsburg, Philadelphia and other
railroad centers en route to New
York, would attract no little no
tice. Our informant says thathe
has no doubt the suggestion will
be followed, particularly as no ex
pense to shippers is attached.
Ore (on ton, '23d.
Major lionan, the Indian agent
for the Flatheads, tells a good
story showing the effect on the
aboriginal mind of the modern
methods of railroad building.
While the Northern PaciGc com
pany was negotiating with the
Flatheads for the right ol way
across their reservation, an old In
dian noted for his shrewdness came
to the agent and said 4io hoped
the bargain would be closed and
the money paid over before the
track got to Bad Rock, an enor
mous rocky promontory jutting
out into the Pend d'Oreille river,
a few miles north of the reserva-
HUM UIli;. j. ilia i u rv miiu q"w" I
the Indians a great deal of trouble,
and m their journcj'S northward
they were obliged to get over it
by a precipitous trail. The old
Flathead was sure the railroad
would have to stop there. Major
Ronan told him to go down and
sec how the railroad would get by
Bad Rock. He went and saw an
explosion of 020 cans of giant
powder, which threw the whole
rock into the river, and opened
the roadway around the promon
tory. The Indian returned and
told the agent that he was ready
to believe anything a white man
might tell him. Since he had
seen the mountain jump into the
river he thought white men could
do anything. XortJiinxt.
When the red Indian suffers at'
the hands of the white man and is
unable to obtain revenge at the
time, he usually "takes it out" of j
the next pale-face he comes acros:
This kind of vicarious atonement
is regarded by civilized men with
wonderment. The inquiry is gen
eral as to how any person gifted
with good sense could suppose
that a wrong could be atoned by
the maltreatment of an innocent
person. . But are we wholly free
from adjustments of that character
ourselves? Juror Field, in Dub
lin, who has been persecuted by
some of his fellow citizens for dis
charging a public duty, has bfcen
awarded 3,000 damages by the
government. But the govern
ment does not pay him the money
itself. It simply assessed the dam
ages on the city where the juror
resides. It lollows that all citi
zens, good aud bad, have to pay
for the violence of a few. The
men who disapprove, as well as
those who applaud the wrongful
acts, have to make a vicarious
atonement.
"Can the Old LovoV" is the title
of a novel. That's generally the
way of it. They can the old love
as soon as it becomes the least bit
old and put it away to keep,
while something a trifle fresher is
brought out for daiuse.
Nothing is better for whitening
garments, particularly those that
have become yellow from being
laid aside for several months, than
a teaspoonful of borax dissolved
in the rinsinp water.
Sherman W. Piatt of Newtown,
Conn., a farmer, about 35, fell
into a deep sleep in his bed just
before Christmas, aud lay in it,
without rousing, till the last of
January. Toward spring he man
ifested an inclination to move, but
did not open his eyes, and during
three months ate scarcely enough
to sustain life. In March the fam
ily succeeded in getting him
dressed, and in April he walked a
little, but during all this time he
! never spoke. He was cured for
like an infant. After awhile he
scented his way-to the pantry, and
now he moves from his chair to
the cupboard shelves, sleeping be
tween his meals. His lethargy
has lasted '2'20 days.
There is an organized moye
ment on foot in Washington to
make General Sherman the next
Republican presidential candi
date, with the idea that his war
record will elect him. General
Sherman is a grand old man, with
the most brilliant war record in
the north, but it is about time that
the war should cease to be a rea
son for the election of the candi
date. The curse of the country,
north and south, would be removed
if there were no more war gener
als to come to the rescue of cor
rupt or purely sectional politic
ians. Absolutely Pure-

MOTHERS, READ.
Gi:nts: Alout nine years ago I h:ul a
child two years old and almost W':id. The
doctor I hnil attending her could not ti lt
what ailed her. 1 ashed him if lie did dot
think It was worms, lie said no. How
ever, this did not satisfy me, as 1 ff-;t con
vinced in my own mind that she Imd. I
obtained a lottle of Dlt. C 3Ic1jM-:s
CUnKIinATKnYKKMin'OIitHenuinc).
I gavo her a teaspoonfnl in the morning
andanotheratnIj;htifterwhIch.slieia.-sel
seventy-two worms and wis a well i-lii'd.
Since then I have never been without it
iu my family. The health of my children
remained so good that I had neglected
watching their actions until nIout three
weeks asio. when two of them presented
the same sickly appearance that Fanny
did nine years ago. So I thought it must
be worms, and went to work at once with
a lvottlc of UK. C. nroLANICS VKK31I
3? I OK between four of my children, their
ages leing as follows: Alice, S years; Charley,-!
years; Emma,Gyears; John. U years.
Now comes the result : Alice and Kmma
cameoutnll right,but Charley paseil forty
live and Johnny about sixty worms. The
result was so gratifying that I spent two
days iu showing the wonderful effect of
your Vermifuge around I'ticn. and now
nave the worms on exhibition in my store.
Yours truly, JOHN IMPKli.
