BURLEIGH RESIGNS Mayoralty is Vacant so Far as Recent Elec tion Goes. THREE COUNTS OF THE BALLOTS MADE Fraud Evident by the Great Discrepancy Between the Several Counts But by Whom? Enterprise, Oregon, June 1. '10. To the Common Council of the city of Enterprise: Gentlemen: I herewith tender my resignation as Mayor of the city of Enterprise to take effect immediately, which resignation is based upon the reasons hereunto an nexed. Verv resoectfullv. J. A. BURLEIGH. REASONS FOR RESIGNATION. The right to hoH an office under the constitution and laws of our country is based upon a proper exercise of the elective or appointive power. Out of the election held on the 3rd day of May last in this city a gTave question has arisen as to whether or not the wishes of a majority of the voters of the citv have been properly expressed; and the count or the ballots on yesterday, in the contest proceedines initiated for the purpose of determining who is entitled to the omce of councilman, has brought into question mv election to the office of mayor, a matter that prior to that time was not questioned. As you are aware, the count of the ballots as made by the judges and clerks of election immediately after the close of the polls gave a majority in my favor of 23 votes. That 24 hours later the vote was recounted by yourselves and my election was officially determined by a majority of one vote. Acting up on that determination of yur body, I called for, received and accepted a cer tificate of election and took the requir ed oath of office. - In the count made yesterday in the contest proceedings, by counting sev eral votes that showed erasures and changes, some quite plainly and others but dimly, and rejecting one vote that bore a mark of identification, it was made to appear that the vote was a tie on the office of mayor, and if that count is accurate, by counting the vote that was rejected, which was for Mr. Graves, and which I really think should be counted, for the evidence showed that it was not marked for an illegal pur pose, but thoughtlessly, it gives Mr. Graves a majority of one vote, and clearly entitles him to the office. It is very evident that a number of the ballots showed that they had been erased and changed, some very clearly some not very clearly, and whether or not enough had been changed so clev erly as to defy detection and account for the wide discrepancy between counts, is an open question; and wheth er the ballots so marked and changed should be counted or rejected is anoth er question. That there were gross frauds committed -in connection with the ballots after the close of the polls and before the official count was made is not questioned by any one at all fa miliar with the matter, but just who did it and how it was done is a ques tion for debate": but this fact does ap pear, however, that if it ia possible to detect the guilty parties, they should be brought to justice. The question of who shall be mayor or councilman of the city is of but little importance, but the purity of the bal lot and the free and uncorrupted choice of the people is a matter of very great importance to every citizen of the city and county. For the reason that all the3e circum stances taken together, and the ir reconcilable difference in the several counts that have been made, leave a question as to the actual result of the election, I feel impelled by a sense of duty to Mr. Graves, myself and to the votera of the city to tender my resig nation at this time before entering up on the duties of the office, and would have done so before this date, bad there been any question of my election; and I trust that the council will take immediate action upon this resignation before I am called upon to perform any official duty.

A company recently organiEed has ilready begun extensive prepara lions to make Wallowa lake one of he greatest tolaad summer resorts in the west. The company is-com-posed of J. T. Reach of Joseph, J. iloss Leslie and J. F. Egensperger, the latter shortly from the east. Already 75 tenia are on the ground it the disposition of those who ar rive at the lake for a summer out '.ng, and various amusement are be ing put in. As soon as possible a .arge hotel will be erected and cot :ages as well as tents will be built .'or the accommodation of visitors. See Big Future In an interview with Mr. Reach; of Joseph an Enterprise Press repre sentative was given to understand .hat nothing .would be left undone hat would conduce to the lake as x summer camping ground. As rap idly as possible chutes, arcades, 3wings, and all other features of amusement Incident to out-door recreation will be built or added to -he camping grounds which will lie it the head of the lake. This is a project that will be wel comed .warmly by every resident of .he county. Inasmuch as extensive advertising In the east Is- contempla ted by the new company. It wiil so advertise V.'allowa as a s-mmer amusement place, that doubtless many settlers will thus be attracted. In any event It .will. If properly ad vertised, attract thousands of sum mer visitors, which means a rapid advertisement of this section of Or egon. No fiore beautiful spot ex ists, either -in America or Switzer land, than the country about Los tine, Enterprise and Joseph. At one point in the mountain range the observer can mount a promon tory and count some dozen moun uiin lakes all of whkh teem witl mountain trout. Wallowa lake lies nestling between mountains, and Is one of the most beautiful bodies of water in the world. It la filled with trout, and "he water is replenished the year round from melting snows iff the mountain peaks. Bur that boy hte school suit, XOW. Sale starts Saturday, June 4. W. J. Funk Co.

It an osteopathic axiom that a disturbed blood flow auyv.Here in the body is sure to 6et up disease. The circulation of the blood and lymph is subject to the same obstructions' and blockades by pressures as the nerves, for these delicate structures travel together through these little spinal opeuings, through the muscles and fpscias, through the hinge-like Joints of the extremities, etc. What will encroach upon one will likewise pinch the other. Certain nerve3, the vasomotors, also regulote blood flow throughout the body, sending more blood to the place where it is needled by increas ed functioaing (as when the stom ach is digesting food) and withhold ing It from structures and organs not then so active (where fuel and l.ower are less needed.) Nerves suf fering irritation IrDin pressures may completely upset this automatic reg ulation of blood flow throughout the :-rgans. And ;o Co this-is to set up disease. The organ Buffering from auenia (too little blood) is starved, and the organ given too much blood Is congested, and both i'.ates prevent that organ perform ing its natural functions for the ben efit of the rest of the body. "A chain 4s only as strong as its v. eakest Jink.'' This 13 equivalent to saying that under swains k is the weakest link that breaks. So in ueaKh matters. Where a strain is ;rjt upon any prrt of the system R is the weakest organ that suffers most, that seems to pay the pen alty of the whole disturbance. If the stomach happens to be weak, symptoms of distress will de velop promptly tn that organ, yet may not appear in any other struct ure subjected to .the same amount of congestion.
