WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1909- BELATED BUTLER. One Butler of Oregon has become famous, or at least notorious. Giv en the small but honorable duty of taking the result of the electoral vote of this state to Washington, he failed to arrive on time and but for the letter mailed containing the re suit, Mr. Taft would have bee-. four votes short of his rightful to tal. Butler's notoriety Is far from en viable. He will be used to point many a sermon and newspaper par agraph, but unlike the man who car ried the message to Gomez he will not' be held up as an example to follow, but as a warning. Butler the Belated! What a repu tation you made on your first chance to perform a small public duty. Vet, how like a very large number of American people always a little be hind. Behind with their work. Late at church, the theatre, business and social appointments. Truly you are quite typical of a faulty side In the, average run of men. But still we don't envy you your fame. Representative Rusk has Intro duced house bill 296, to Increase the salary of the county superintendent of Wallowa county to $1200 a year. The legislature seams to be afraid to do anything very bad, and un willing to do anything very good. THE BE8T ADVERTISEMENT. The best advertisement is through the newspapers. The best way of reaching the public is by giving notice through some creditable paper that reaches the public. Every word printed in a newspaper is read not by one, but by thousands of people. A paper with a circulation of 1000 reaches a thousand homes and has a constituency of 5000. Does that mean anything? If you give notice to G000 people four times each month will that not bring you returns? If not, you haven't given the proper kind of notice. The merchant expects to sell from $2,000 to $5,000 worth of goods each month. If he can bring himself within speaking distance of these 5000 poo pie four tlme3 each month, will it not pay him? The merchants that are doing the business of the nation tcday are the heaviest advertisers. Many large firms that a few years ago depended wholly upon catalogues are now resorting to newspapers and circulars, for the reason that the latter pay be3t. Merchants Guide. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

(To the Edi tor.) Will you kindly publish the following on behalf of Justice and air play: There has been .consid erable discussion pro and con ov-;i the casei of diphtheria rj;io-to.l b myself. The Wallowa Sun, issue of lunuary 1, published an article which casts reflections upon me and which questions my ability as a diagno3ti dan. In reply to the above I wish to offer a few remarks i'l explanation. When called to se? Mr. Thomas Brady I was unable to reach his home until after the old gentleman had passed away, consequently was unable to get a clinical picture of lis case, and relying upon the de icriptio.i furnished me by his familj I baMevel it to be diphtheria. 1 then ii the presence of a witness tcok from Mr. Brady's throat some of the secretions for microscopic ex amlnation and established a tern porary quarantine. I then In the oreience of the same witness car ried said secretions sealed up in a o'.t'e to my office where I made 1 microscopic examination of tie lame rnd found It to be diphtheria. I then ordered an effectual quar amine. Some two weeks later Mr. O. H Brady and daughter of this city came down with diphtheria. I fol owed oat the exact procedure the lame as In Mr. Thomas Brady's ca3e and quarantined. .A'ter Mr. O. H Brady recovered I gave him the microscopic slides and he sent them o the State Bacteriologist, Dr. talih C. Matson, Portland, Oregon. The following letter from Dr. Robt. C. Yenney, stats health officer, wil. exp'ain as to whether I followed the proper course In protecting public health and as to the correctness ol my diagnosis. E. T. ANDERSON, M. D. County Health Officer. Fortland, Feb. 4, 1909. To the State Boa-d of Health, Port'and, Oregon. Gent'emun: 1 have to report ex inilnu'ion of specimen cultures re ?eive 1 from Dr. E. T.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS VIRGIN GOLD ON EXHIBIT Seattle, Feb. 9 One million dollars In' virgin gold that will sink auto matically every night into a steel vault to re-appear with the same pre cision In the morning will be the cen tral feature of the Alaska exhibit at the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposi tion next summer. Plied in glitter ing heaps of dust, nuggets and bricks, this brilliant display will be one of the greatest attractions - on the exposition grounds. The gold pavilion, where the million dol lars will be on display will be en closed with a heavy wire cage and special guards will patrol the sec tion night and day to protect the treasure. The large steel vault, built in sol Id concrete, will operate automati cally on a time lock. Each night at the closing hour the two tons of gold will disappear and the steel and concrete top will slide Into place leaving nothing in view but the smooth surface of the floor. The time lock will be set for the opening hour In the morning when the treas ure will reappear. The construction of this vault will cost $4,000. In the gold exhibit are three of the largost nuggets ever found in Alaska. They were takea from the famous Pioneer mine at Nome and the to tal value of the three is slightly In excels of $7,000. It is proposed ' to have the largest of these three nug gets arranged so that visitors may pick it up and the big yellow lump will pass throjgh thousands of hands during the exposition. The Alaska fair commission has al ready secured the dust, nuggets and go'.d bricks for the display and it will be arranged in the gold pavil ion of the Alaska building several days in advance of the opening of the exposition June 1. A portion of the gold is now in safety deposit vaults in Seattle. Every claim and prospect in the four divisions of Alaska contribut ed not less than an ounce of gold to the display, and the Seward penin sula, Tanana River, Copper River and Southeastern Alaska districts are all represented. In addition to the gold, many of the mine owners of the Nome and Fairbanks camps will also have samples of pay dirt, gravel, bed rock and black sand. The ex hibit will be in exce.s of two tons of pure gold, just ai it was washed fron the ground i 1 the north. LIVELY PEOPLE III OF E ENJOY GOOD TIMES BUT ARE HUSTLING FOR STILL BET TER ONES. (By Mrs. Adah L. Downing of Wild Rose Home Farm.) Troy, Jan. 25. The 13th, ojr lucky number) of this month, the ichool directors of the Eden dis trict called a special meeting of an important nature, which was well at tended and harmoniously conducted, resulting to the satisfaction of all concerned. The last,- but not the least Important motion to be made, seconded and can led, was for a "do nation" party to be given on the following Monday, the 18th, to help swell the school fund for the future benefit of the Eden school, every one with but a few exceptions, put their names down for a goodly sum on the subscription paper passed by one of the ladies present, bache lors and all, as good nature was the feature of the day. Mrs. Hafer and sons Eugene and Harry kindly do nated the use of their commodious residence for the proposed party, which was accepted with the same kindly spirit in which it was ten dered. Nearly all of Eden attended the party and Leonard Bolding from Troy was present. The best of good cheer was given in the appetiz ing supper with hot coffee passed around, and plenty of it. As usual the card tables were ready in the large parlor for those who did not care to dance. George Courtney, Charles Fleming and Jesse Puller all kindly donated the music on violin and guitar for dancing, which as ever was of the best. Our bache lors (who by the way predominate in our beautiful Garden of Eden, and who would be a credit to any com munity) all turned out and enjoyed themselves so well that they called for the subscription paper to sign, which they did, bringing the sum total up above all expectations. About daylight everyone had fresh hot coffee and a good lunch before starting for home. The next school affair will be a "wood matinee" when every man and boy who can cut, saw and split wood is invited and expected to work hard all day at the sama thnc the women folks to provide pi tit, of the hot "Java" and a lot of o hei good things to eat, spread in the school house, not far from the pros pective woodpile. The weather is much warmer and cattle and horses are feeding out on some of the brakes facing south, which are bare and have plenty of nutritious grass. Your correspondent can testify that everybody here In the extreme north ern part of Wallowa county is not dead by any means, nor even can be called "mossbacks," for they are cer tainly a lively lot of people, and will keep that way until a bridge is placed across the Grande Ronde at froy, a telephone line from Bartlett to Flora cpnnectlng at Troy, and an electric line from Troy to Walla Walla; then maybe we will be quiet but we'll never "Go way back and sit down." Never! for when we get the two first, if not the third prop osition, we will have our own flour mill, Baw mill and electric lights, so that we will surely keep on the move, until capital controlled else where will commence to think that we are "it" and worthy of some at tention, and that it might pay to har ness some of Its mighty power con centrated at the Junction of the Grande Ronde and Little Salmon rivers; enough power to supply all kinds of factories, light stations and electric roads needed, and a lot to spare. Some time in the future some corporation or Its manager will want to kick themselves because GARDEN D they did not investigate and take advantage of this vast power going to waste before the other fellow caught on. Personal. Prof. Foster, who has finished te iching the school at Troy, Is now teaching at the Eden school. Last Friday night, Mr3. Peterson, son Frank and Mr. and Mrs. J. Down ing, spent a mou pleasant time at the home of Mr. and .Mrs. Charles Williams playing cribbage and high five. As usual most delicious re freshme its were served and Java of course. Little Lorine Williams, how ever, got ahead of her mamma and surprised the company with a large pan full of beautifully popped corn which the guests really enjoyed and praised the little maid for her accom plishment. George Courtney, Ed Wilcox, Char lie Fleming and Leonard Bolding all took 'Jimmy" Downing by surprise ty calling in a bunch and playing seven up until nearly 1 o'clock in the morning. Java and light lunch wa3 served about 11 o'clock to strengthen their nerves, so that any bad play might be overlooked. How ever, everyone especially the host and hostess enjoyed the evening fine. l'earl Stevens ha returned to his ranch near the Fleming ranch, af ter quite a long absence. We are told that he con'eaiplate3 staying In the Garden of Eden altogether from now on. A Common Cold. We claim that If catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of.. A cold often forms a culture bed for germs of infectious diseases. Consumption, pneumonia, diphtheila, and scarlet (ever, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are -of this class. The culture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There is iittle danger, however, of any of these diseases being contracted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used. It cleans out these culture beds that favor the development of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so uni versally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly, but minimizes the risk of contracting these dangerous dis eases. For sale by Burnaugh & Mayfield. HENRY L. STIMSON.

Praises are sung of some magic land; Pictures are painted by skillful hand, Telling alike the story, Of suns that shone, and breezes that blew, Of flowers that bloomed, and trees that grew; Or beasts that roamed, and birds that flew Adding to earth their glory. Again and again, some tiresome tale, Of wandering search, for Holy Gran Has caused the poet's eye to fail To see the sights that bound us. Thus in the land, which we know so well, Here in Wallowa, where we love to dwell; Who has arisen that dared to tell Of the beautiful world around us? Listen ye then, to the lay I sing, Of the land where every man Is king Where Nature smiles on everything; Never her gifts abating. Search for its equal In distant clime. Mid ancient verse, or tiresome rhyme, Oh, tell me the country, or place or time, To excel the one I'm relating. Up the Columbia's rolling stream, Up where the blue crest mountains rise, There in a valley, 'neath sunny skies Lies the land of the Lap way dream. Mountain encircled on every hand, Traversed by streams that forever flow Down from the regions of virgin snow, Was the Chief Joseph Land. Ages had passed, since moccaslned feet Made the first trail In this valley sublime. Ages had passed; yet In all of that time. Never a pa'.eface had seen this retreat. Here, when the snow melted high up the slide, Joseph had gathered, about him, his band; To'.d them that this was forever tbelr land, Home while they lived, and grave when they died. Brought them In summer to fish by the lake, Deep in who3e depths, spotted salmon and trout; Or from the foot hills the mule deer to rout, And from the swamp land the wild duck to take. Then when the fur had grown long on the bear, Down the Imnaha they hastened their way; Made all the Journey in one night and day; Tut up their lodges and wintered them there. Once, when the trail up the canyon they took, Joseph had halted in horror aghast, Pointed to foot-print of Boston man's last; Pointed, and gazed with incredulous look, "Chiefs, point your arrows no more at the deer; Set for the mallard no longer your snare; Kill not the coyote, the cougar, the bear; Save for the paleface your hammer and spear." Out from the alders, a faint curl of smoke . Sends up its signal that white men have come, Cabins have built, and have founded a home; Pines are brought low at the bold woodman's stroke. Snows, that for ages had melted and sought, Shortest and quickest, their path to the sea No longer gurgling their song of the free Course through the ditches which men for them wrought. Rocks, that for centuries, untouched by the sun Kept In seclusion their copper and gold; Now to the miner their riches unfold. Offering wealth to be sought for, and won. Marble and granite, talc, felspar and coal, Ready to yield up their service of worth, ' Lie half concealed 'neath the soil of the earth, Waiting for man to assign them their goal. Up through the canyon with clatter and smoke, Worming its way toward the snow crested height, Flashing the clouds with its far-flinging light. Churns the hugh engine with ponderous stroke. All through the valley the grain fields are spread Far, o'er the hills, graze the cattle and sheep Tall orchard trees guard the Lapway's sleep, Mingling their roots with the bones of the dead.
