LAST VETERAN OF 1812
V'ncleof our Tow nsm&n Is Aged
104 Years.
The following item appeared iu the
Kansas City Star of May 11. Mr
Cronk is au uncle of Gcorgo Crotik of
this place.
Hiram Crouk, who celebrated his
104th anniversary a week ago, at Ava
N. Y is the last pensioner of the
war of 1312, the only survivor
in this country. 1 he aged soldier
is failjng rapidly and is conn fled to
bis budiuost of the time, faithfully
attended to by his daughter, Mrs.
Sarab Crowley, nearly 75 years old.
Hiram Crouk eulisted at Western,
N. Y., August i, 1S14, when be was
just a little.' more than 14 years old.
His father, James Cronk, and two
brothers, Casper und Jobti, enlisted
on the same day. All of tbein served
under Captain Edmund Fuller In de
fense of Sackett's Harbor. At the
close of the war the father and three
sons were honorably discharged.
The records of the pension office show
that Hiram Croutt is the last pension
er of this war. For a number of
years lie drew a pulsion vof $12 per
month, but in February, 1003, con
gress i nssed au net increasing this to
$25 a month, "Hiram Crouk being the
last jiensiouer of the War of 1812. "
A Surt Thing.
It is said that nothing is sure except
death and tuxes, but that is not alto
gether truo. Dr. King's Now Dis
covery for Consumption is a sure cure
for all lung and throat troubles.
Thousands can testify to that. Mrs
CI. B. Van Metre of Shephordlown,
W Ya. , says "I bad a severe caso of
Bronchitis and for a year tried every
thing I heard of but got no relief.
Ouo bottlo of Dr. King's Now Dis
covery then cured mo absolutely."
It's infallible for Croup, Whooping
Cough, Grip, Pneumonia and Con
sumption. Try it. It 's guranteed by

Pharmacy. Trial bottles freo. Iteg.

POPULAR OCEAN BEACH
Me.ny From Willamette. Valley
Spend Vacation n.t Sea Shore.
Hundreds from the
Valley spent their vacatiou at North
( Long! Beach, Washington,, Inst sum
mer, aud it is safe to say that this
popular resort of tho North Pacific
Coast will tie visited by many more
this year thau over within its his
tory. The change (from the valley to
the sea level opeus up an entirely new
realm of scenic charms.
Tho trip oil tho Willamette aud
Colubmia rivers, out of Portland, is
one U uf to bo rente iibcrcd, the usual
beat of a summer afternoon being
tempered by a gentle breeze freighted
with the aroma of pine trees and
seasoned with salt air. The scenery
includes much that is beautiful.
Leaving Portland on one of the Ore
gon Unil.-oaci oi Navigation om
pany's palatial river steamers, (the
T. J. Potter being quern of river
flyersi the ixcurisouist is carried
thiough its harbor whom fly tho lings
of many nations. Tho 12 miles on the
Willamcttn river are quickly made,
and, after saluting tho government
ligh'honse, marking tho janctinn of
the two rivers, the boat swings into
the Columbia for the trip down
stream. Tho morui g
is clear
until Scp
i l't and in
tye as the
(generally so from Juifh
tember), and a ningniiic
spiring sight meets tne
sweep around tho bind is made five
snowcapped peaks, Mount Hood,
Mount Adams, Mount Saint Helen,
Mount Rainier and Mount .Fcll'ersoii,
looming into view a sight worth
traveling thousands of miles to see.
On down the picturesque river, past
villages, sawmill.;, lUhing fleets,
salmon numerics. petpi udicular
basaltic blurt's, and pretty side-hill
farms, the boat pursues its way. The
majestic sweep of the river is awe
inspiring. Gradually the shores grow
farther apart ami, scarcely realising
that the five hours have been consum
ed iu making tho trip, the boat sieins
alongside tho wharf at Astoria.
Ouo hour from Astoria, through
the famous fishing waters of the
Conlmbia, past scores of salmon traps
aud lit ts and as many while-winged
fish b.sits, hinds the passengers at
Ilwato, on Baker's Bay, where con
nection for beach points is mado with
trains of Iho llwaeo liailway &
Navigation Company,, whoso cirs
stand on tho wharf awaiting the
steamer. North Beach, where the
surf Imtl. nig is unexcelled, at low
tide is from 200 to 400 feet w ido, 2:1
miles long and so compact that a car
riage or wagon scarcely leaves a trace
upon it. Scattered along Iho beach
are hundreds of cottages ami hotels
in which summer life is au unc using
round of pleasure from the opening
until tho closing of the season. The
inucu dreaded liesort .Mositiito is
unknown and no venomous Miehcs or
insects are found. Tho thermometer
r .1. h,..n
or August, hut light overcoats, fir
morning and evening and blankets at
night are comfortable during the
season.
Bates for accommodations at Norih
Bench points are rea.-ouah'e and vary
to suil the visitors. At L'uropcau
hotels and lodging hou.-cs rooms range
from 25 ci ills to .! on a day; at res
taurants, meals ran from 25 In 5n
cents; and at the American-plan

day to $2.00 and upward.
Dozens of ileliglitlnl side trips may

AT lA COST OF $2,000,000
75.000 Acres of Oregon Lend
Can Be Reclaimed.
A Washington special says the an
nouncement that Oregon, tho largest
contributor to the reclamation funds,
has finally beeu recognized by secre
tary Hitchcock, who has approved the
Malheur project, contemplating tho
Irrigation of 73,000 acres of laud iu
the vicinity of Valo and lias set aside
$2,000,000 for tho construction of
storage reservoirs and canals, is some
whut misleading. The secrelary's
action does uot necessarily mean that
tho government will midortako the
construction of tho Malheur project or
that the 2, 000,000 now set aside will
be expended oti that or any other ir
rigation work in Oregou.
To secure au explanation of the
Secretary's action, tho Oregouian
correspondent had an interview with
Chief Newell, of tho reclamation ser
vice, on whose reoininendation the
secretary acted, and ascertained the
facts as hereafter given. Mr. Newell
says tho allotment does not commit
the government to tho Malheur pro
ject, but simply signifies that the de
partment has ascertained by Held ex
aminations that about 75,000 acres
near Valo can be. reclaimed at a cost
not exceeding f'. 000, W).
Whether the government will take
up the Malheur project will depend
altogether upon future developments.
There aro already niauy vestments.
There are many vested rights of water
arotiud Valo. Tho entire Summer
How ol streams which would be de
pended upon to furnish wafer for
1 1 1 n M.dheur project, has already been
appropriated, and about one-half of
the land lying under tho proposed
government canals has been entered.
If the owners of tho water rights are
n illing to waive their cfaims and al
low Iho government undisputed con-
tro'. of Iho streams, at least to the
extent of secuing sufficient water to
niako (be project a success, and if the
ownirsnfland included within that
project w ill sign au agreement to bear
I lirir proportionate shars of the cost
of constructing the works, namely,
J2"i or $:10 an acre, then tho govern
ment will bo ready to construct this
work provided that a subsequent in
vestigation shows that dams can be
constructed on sites already picked
out and canals can be built and main
tained ut a reasonable cost.

Anti Locrvl Option Propo.go.nde..
Portland, Or., April lit To tho
Editor of The Telegram : I seo that
ur friend, the enemy, is getting
seared about the probable results of
tho local option campaign, and well
he may, for every patriot Is going
to vote for it j eviry fair minded man
is going to vote for it, and why?
Because : '
First. It is fair. Tliero Is no class
Incrimination about it. It is not
a prohibition law. It is a law sub
mitting to the jsioplo the question
wlR'thor liceuso or prohibition shall
be tho rule. The brewers and whole
sale dealers' associations seem ti re
gard it as n foregone prohibition con
clusion. This is only another illus
tration of the proverb, "Conscience
toes make cowards of us all." And
what if it should? Aro not they
willing the JN'Oplo should rule?
Should not the "wets" as well as Iho
"drys" abide the Inajorjty? Or do
they regard the people? Aro they
leiniH'ratlc, idutncratio or autocratic?
Second. It is Just. It gives equal
privileges to all. Where tho majority
want the saloon that community will
get it. Whom tho majority want It
not, there they will not have it.
Surely these opponents of local option
are lawabiding; or, Is this tho very
ling they fear? A son of Erin was
once lierore tlie magistrate, ireiuonug
and visibly disturbed. Tho court
ntured to quiet Ihu culprit with tho
assurance tiiul jusuo.1 wuuiii lie
done." "Fitiib, yer hnnnr," he
ejaculated, "that's Jest what I'm
afraid nt." Aru Ihu manufacturers
afraid of justice ?
Third It is lliiatichtlly safe. Iu
Hyde Park. Chleugn, residents who
am elsewhere engaged in thoialooii
business, are against thu Introduction
id the saloon Into their midst. Ill
Indiana, a few years since, the courts
sustained the contention of the plain
1 1 IT that thu presence of the saloon
was a money damag.i to the property
adjoining. Find a block or a build
ing lu which a saloon Is located the
presence of which has enhanced the
value nf the same. On the other
hand, prohibition has put money in
lo the bauds of tho people. Ill Illi
nois (high license) the deposits ill the
stvings banks ure about fl per capita;
In Kansas they ure about $"'il, and In
Maine about $10.1 per capita. Is this
liiiaiiclnl suicide?
Fourth- It is 1111 honorable cmiiiplo
of homo rule. As an exhibition of
the itl.i -nee of home rule, Investigate
In. several ili-giaciful instances
iround the suburbs of our city, where
those in authority have undertaken
10 put 11 few dollars into the treasury
by thrusting- the saloon upon a com
munity contrary to their . xpr. ssed
wish. Is that home rule? Would
that vj" might read again the Du
el iration, and make a closer study of
the crimes charged against King
(ieorgn. The colonies wanted borne
rule. King George wauled no home
rule. King Alcohol Is his double and
more lloiuu rule is w nut ai 1 iieeeii.,
fair-minded, honorable eiii.ins want.
This local opt ion measure the peo
ple demand because it is fair, because
it Is just, because it is for the Himn
rial good, because it is nil exhibition
of . veil handed and honorable home
rule. More, lu the language of the
white winged "swear term" of the
brave and iieivy Andrew Jackson,
"by the Eternal" they are going to
havu it. Biueu Wolvertuu.

VISITS THE GOLD BUG
Portland Mining Men Ha.ve Bond
on Valuable Property.
Angus McQueen and Clark Taber,
tho well known Portland mining men,
aocomiiauled by Albert Goisor, tlie
most prominent nilno owner iu East
ern Oregon, arrived here Monday and
next day proceeded out to the Oold
Bug tiino, 15 miles southwest of
Oteudalo, ou which proporty they
recently took a bond, and In which
a fabulously rich strike was made this
week of oro that will run thousands
of dollars to the ton.
Mr. Goisor about six years ago sold
tho fatuous Bonanza mine uear Sump
tor for $750,000, and still owns a num
ber of valuablo mines in that district
Only last week he took a bond oo
tho Oregon King 111 1 no In Crook
county for $100,000.
When such mining men as these
gentlemen tnko hold of properties
hero, tliero will bo "something do
ing" before long, aud it would not
surprise us If 1000 stamps aro pound
ing out gold within a few miles of
Gleiidulo within the next oouplo of
years.
It Is the Intent lou of these mining
magnates to make tho Gold' Bug one
of tho greatest mines in the West
within a short time and they have
the energy and capital with which to
do it.
Mr. Golser informed us that owiug
to tho high altitude and severe win
ters in the Sutnpter district, which is
injuilous to his health, he may eon
elude to transfer his operations en
tirely to tho Uleudalo district, which
has all the advantages In the world
for easy und successful mining; bo
sides It enjoys tho finest anil most
healthful climato in the world.
