VOORHIES, FRED MENSCII, Props. & Mnor EOITOR Entered at the post olhce at Grants I'ss, Oregou, sa second-class mail matter. THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1902. W. J. Furnish of Pendleton received the nomination for Governor at the Re publican State Con von t ion on Wednes day. All fool) day passed without special incident. It is pleasant to note that the Silly pranks to which the day is supposed to give license are becoming fewer and fewer each succeeding year and this fact argues well for the incresiing good sens o( the human race. Thomas 11. Tongue was nominated by acclamation to succeed himself for congresstnsn at the First congress ional district convention held at Uose burgon Tuesday. The Second district convention, held at Portland nominated J, N. Williamson of Prinaville as con grra man to surwd M. A. Moody. Piesident Roosevelt bas taken a firm stand in vetoing deserters bills. Many deserters have; by bills passed iu con gress, been restored to honorable stand Ing and ate then eligible to and receive pensions. The Injustice of placing man like this on the laint fooling with those who have served their country faith fully is apparent to all. Roosevelt has said that Le does not propose to have the records changed unless it meats the approval of the secretary of war. Cecil Rhodes, "the uncrowned King of South Africa," is dead. He was one of the most remarkable man of bis lima, with an Influence which afflicted the policial and destinies of nations. His nam Is commemorated in one at the South African provinces, Rhodesia, Me left an enormous fortune, the larger amount of which is, by tha terms of bis will.'to be used for the promotion of a vast educational scheme which was his pet project. An unusual phase ol controversy be twean mining and agricultural inleraste lias occurred recently at Redding, Cal. The owners of an almond orchaid laid an Injunction against the Mountain Copper Co. of Keswick, restraining it from the present method of treating ores. The Mountain Copper Co. Is one of the biggest mining concerns on the cosst, paying out $1,000,000 annually in wages and for supplies. Tha sulphur fumes from the smelter are sitrsmely destructive to vegetable life and for miles around Keswick, tha smaller tree growths are dead. Orchards are of couiae, heavy sufferers and the large Interests involved make the matter one of gravity. In the coming campaign and alsction, the CuI'hikr will be independent, as It has bean heretofore. Our editorial support will be given, irrespective ol party, te those candidates whom ws think will best fill the olllces for which they are nominated. While our editorial column will be reserved fur the support of the candidates of our usiwclsl choice, other columns will be open for such articles as candidatea may wish pub lished, and these will a charged for at regular advertising rates. This is a purely business proposition and we know of no reason wby a candidate should not declare biuieelt to the public through the medium ol the press, as well as from the stump. Thess articUs must approach a certain standard ol fairness, moderation and courtesy. Mud slinging or vituperative communications are not wanted. Fairness demands that any candidate should hsve an oppor tunity of presenting lilmiall to tha voters and we think the ariangement e have announced will prove a satisfac tory one. The Idea of reformatories Is suggested In regard to dealing with tha tramp evil. As they are more or less successful in dialing with oilier forms ol fallen humanity, there is grouud for believing that they would be good (or trumps No doubt there eiists among tha tramp fraternity many men ol naturally good qualities who have merely abandoned themselves to drilt aimlessly ; who have "let go all hulls." II any number ol these could be reclaimed, humanity, nation and community would doubly gain by the transition. To uplift any class of humanity, a sympathetic in terest is necessary and it has rtlect where sharp reproof or criticism merely aggravates the bad conditions. The iranip iiueeuun is me more complei Hi that the members of Ihe fraternity hypocritically prey on this spirit ol sym pathy and so cut themselves ulf from a possible source ol help Traiupdoiu is a result of a seriously diseased mind and a cure by proper lieatraent mitfut tie etlectrd iu many cases.

The (Joldeu I'rilt Mining Co. have laluly been surveying for their purposed irrigating ditch.

The ground has been thoroughly looked over to ascertain the inoit favor able site on which to locate the saw mill V) manufacture timber for the dam and the mill will lie set up soon, piobsbly in the near vicinity of Bloody run. Extraordinary mining1 operations are being couducttd at the old mint by Dr. David K. Tut lie, head of the de partment of melting and refining, and a dozen of his most extwrt men. The prospecting is on the floors, the ceil ings, the tables, iu cracks and cranniea of boxes, on old, dusty shelves and finally in chimneys, whers soot and dust have accumulated for more than half a century, says a Philadelphia ex change. Soot out of a flue leading from otic of the furnaces eon tallied two and one half per cent, of gold and silver. That percentage indicates that in a ton of soot and dust theie would be found M) pounds of precious metals, worth between IKOIIO nnd $10.1100. The value of the swt rplng-s on the floor of the melting room has been fre queiitly referred to, but Dr. Tut tie's milters do not stop at that. Now they are prospecting the brooms which do the weph,ir; they are working out the wooden chairs, the wooden benches, t lie wooden boxes, riie ceil 1 i -" . the window frnmea, the tiniest coiner and even a long shelf running around the room on which crucible have been stored for years. In all theite rich finds havs been made, nnd the total gold and silver recovered will amount into the thousnnds. A GORGEOUS AMBASSADOR.

Many people think of the camel as practically a -tropical ai imal, perhaps j perhaps because some of its most I nr. king characteristics ht il for cross- in the Di s. rt of .Sahara. Its large I .rage of water uiu tne minuwc i soles of its te. t naturally suggest a life near the equator. Kven the do- slicated camels of Asia, whether or ihe I'ersiaii-Arabian-Africau species, which hae but one hump, or those of Hadrian origin, which are endowed with two, perform most of their serv ice in what is. after all, a preity noi climate, says the New York Tribune. However, iu a recent number of "Globus" Dr. Nihring, of Her. in, lays stress on the fact that the liactriau ctfmel is sometimes found in Siberia, and can endure the greatest known extremes of cold ns well us those of heat, if the air is only dry. In the re gion west of Bake Baikal the average winter tempt ratures are considerably lower than zero, and are often i0 and 60 degrees below that point. The hab itat of the camel here overtops that of the reindeer! Yet in the Gobi dea- ert iu Turkestan, animals of the same species have occasion to trot over earth whose temperature a times rises to 130 and HO degrees Fahren heit! There has been much speculation concerning the origin of the old world camels, llnctria, the little kingdom which giics its name to the two humped animal, lies only a little north of Afghanistan. And inasmuch as fossil n mains of the fami'y haie been recovered in t he tr i t inry rocks of the Siwalik hills, in northern Ilindi.stan.it has bem supposed that this was the birthplace . f the race. But Dr. Neh. ling points out the equipment of teeih - one of the most valuable clews In tracing pct.ea'.oiMi s. Iteniains have also been found in Algeria, and the Bee. in i,r. I in i. list is confident that the genus Hoi! revealed was a connecting link bet. . n i he S.wallk came! and Ihe model n ri i oiiu dary. Only at a comparatively recent date was a satisfactory clew found to the Hadrian camel's ancestry. Hut fos sils fcoin lioutnnnia, near the Danube, and from the vicinity of Hurepta, on the Volfca. now indicate pretty cleorly that the modern two-humped camel originated . illKr in eastern Kurope or northwuli rn Asia. The Itussian fos sils were associated with teeth be longing to the manitiiot h, from which it is fair to infer thtit the climate of that re;M:n was mi id cr when the bones were inierrH than il is now.
