CHANGE OF DEPUTIES
Assessor Gilliam Dispenses
With M. A. Baker.
TO RUN OFFICE HIMSELF
Going to. Show People that
He is Capable of It. .,
According to the Pendleton Tribune,
Assessor E. Gilliam baa intimated to bis
deputy, M. A. Baker, that he will not re
quire hie services more than a few days
longer as he desires to make a change in
the office. Mr. Gilliam was seen by a
reporter of the Tribune and asked to
five his reasons for making the change,
he assessor said in reply that he had no
particular reasons for discharging Mr.
Baker. , -
"I didn't think Mr. Baker had a per
petual right to the deputyship," added
Mr. Gilliam who, continuing said: "He
has been in the office for two year and I
have other friends. It has been repeal
edlv stated that I am not capable of
running the office and I am just going
to show the people that I am."
When asked whom he intended to ap
point to succeed Mr. Baker, the assessor
said that be had not yet made up his
mind, that be Intended to do the work
himself for a little while.
Mr. Baker was seen late in the even
ing, and was surprised to bear from the
reporter's lips the intelligence that be
had been given his conge. In answer to
a question as to what reasons be sup
posed the assessor bad for making a
change, '.Mr. Baker made the following
statement:
"My opinion is that he has dispensed
with my services from a spirit of jealousy
and misapprehension that there was an
endeavor on my part, prior to the county
republican convention, to secure the
nominaiion for the office of assessor,
and no amount of denial on my part has
ever convinced him to the contrary.
"I would like to make the statement
that there is not a man in this county
who can say that I ever solicited his sup
port for that position only on condition
that if Mr. Gilliam could not secure the
support of the convention that I would
accept it.
"I can't conceive any other reasons far
Mr. Gilliam's arbitrary attitude, because
no one can say that I was not faithful in
the diechargo of the duties of his office,
which were entrusted to me."
IMPROVED TRANSPORTATION.
Steel Steamers on the Colnmbla
River.
It will be of ganeral interest to all the
people of the Inland Empire to learn that
an entirely new feature in the transpor
tation service on the Columbia river is
Boon to bo Inaugurated.
Ool. John G. Day and his son Isaiah N
Day, of The Dalles, who have com plot ed
the locks at the cascades, will now engago
in a business that promises almost to
revolutionize the transportation service of
the Inland Empire. The purpose is to
place on the Columbia river n flaet of
fteel-bullt steamers especially designed
for swift water navigation, and also to be
operated in connection with the proposed
boat railway, between The Dalles and
Doaohut.es river.
Col. J. G. Day. the head of the enter
prise, will leave for the East in a few days,
to visit the various ship-yards. Ue will
order the construction of steel hulls for
two steamers especially designed for Col
umbia river traffio, the plates and ribs to
be made of the highest grade of steel, so
as to secure strength and lightness,
The purpose of the new company will
ba to engage not only in local traffic, but
also in other iuduBtries. along the middle
Columbia section, when business Justifies
additional investment. I he construction
of the now boats will be novel in charac
terand in some respects experimental.
Col. Day has given the matter great con
sideration, and he is quite sanguine of the
complete success of the several novelties
he proposes to introduce in the new
methods of river navigation.
While the main object of establishing
this now line of steamers will be to handle
the freight business, particular attention
will also be paid to the passenger depart
ment, and suitable landing places along
t he route will be constructed, the location
of several having now been secured. It
will bo tne purpose of Col. Pay and his
son to make the new line particularly
adapted (or tourist trlps,and particular at
tention will he given to the furnishings
of the two steamers, the first vessels of
the proposed new inland fleet.
Regarding the opening of the locks at
the cascades, Ool, Day says :
"While no official notification has been
received regarding the availability of the
recent appropriation by congress, I am
satisfied that everything is in a fair way
to allow the locks to ha opened for navi
gation shortly after the subsidence of the
present high stags of water."
Butcher Is Back.
Ool. W. F. Butcher, delegate to the
late Chicago convention, arrived home
lust evening, lie was seen by a Demo
crat reporter and the gentleman was
loud in his praise of the ticket noinl
uated. "It was the greatest convention
over held In the United States," re
marked the irrepressible "Butch," and
continuing he sitid: "Bryan is a giant
among gUuts; he has an 'eye like an
uagle and a delivery out of sight.' I
would not have missed hearing that
etech for 50Q. It was the greatest
effort lever heard. The 20,000 people
present went wild with enthusiasm and
the repeated outbursts fairly shook the
big building. Bryan ond 8ewll are sure
winners." Baker City Democrat.
Cannot Act as Deputy.
; The La Grande Chronicle says: And
now it is held by the court that the dis
qualification of Miss Nellie Stevens to
the office of school superintendent dis
qualifies her from discharging the duties
of the office of deputy. Such may be the
Uw, but if it is it will work a revolution
in the deputy ships of some of the offices
in almost every county of the state.
Heretofore it has been the custom in
many of the counties for clerks, record
ers, treasurers and occasionally other
officers, to appoint women as deputies,
and many are serving today.
A Dalles Story.
The Dalles Mountaineer relates an in
eiiont whore a small boat in crossing the
Columbia was caught in a calm and
drifted under tho bow of a wood scow
that was being towed up the river.
There were several persons in the small
boat who were rescued before the little
boat was sncked under the scow, except
one, a very fleshy woman weighing over
200 poinds. She passed under the scow
its full length and when she came out a
skiff was lowered to take her aboard,
bnt her great weight prevented the men
from taking ber into the skiff, so they
had to tow her to the shore, and saved
her from drowning in that way.
Sheep War at Izee.
Word baa just been received from
Canyon City of a fight between the cattle
men of Izee country and the sheep men
of Crook county, in which two sheepmen
were killed. The particulars of the fight
were not received further than that it
was a conflict over the range of the South
Fork country.
Another source brings the Inews that
it was the same sheepmen that had their
wagon and provisions destroyed over
there several weeks ago.

A BIT OF SENTIMET.
It
Keeps Green the Loyalty of
Our
Gallant Jack Tars.
The advent of the cold, practical age of
iron and steel, with its steam and elec
tricity, has robbed the navy of much of
its romance, but a certain kind of senti
ment still survives, and will survive for
years to come. While ugly turrets and
smokestacks, cumbersome military
masts and other unsightly protuberances
of various kinds have banished forever
the eracelul spars, white canvas and
lonff. clear deck of the past, there yet re
main the human heart and soul, the
same aa thev were in 1861, 1812 and
1775. These cbanze slo-dy. but a tt salthy
evolution rather than the radical revolu
tion which so frequently marks material
progress.
Perhaps the prettiest illustration of the
sturdy survival of (sentiment in the new
steel navy oi tne united estates is iouna
in the respect shown the national em
blem, the beautiful stars and stripes, says
the Eoiton Traveler. In the morning, on
board of every American man-of-war, at
home or abroad, as the colors are hoisted,
every one on deck, be be captain, cadet
or coalheaver, be ue on outy or not,
faces aft, respectfully removes bis cap,
and stands at attention uncovered until
the flag reaches the peak of the staff-
heat, the sentrieB at the same time pre
seating arms and the music playing the
national air, if at hand, or the stirring
notes of "colors," if field musio only is
on board.
The same ceremonies aro repeated
when the flag is lowered at sunset,
Most commandine. officers, too, impress
it upon the quartermasters and signal
boys, who do tne noistiog and towering,
that they are not to permit the starry
flag to touch the deck, but are to hoist it
from the rail, and, when it comes down
at nluht. uather its folds reverently in
their arms, fold it carefully and stow it
away in safety for the night.
Another bit of sentiment ia found in
the practice of dipping the colors, an
ancient salute for passing ships, akin to
the lifting of one's hat. It is a strict
ru'e in the United States navy that the
colors shall only be dipped in answer to
a similar salute ; they are never to be the
first to dip, on the principle that the
stars and stripes owe homage to no flag
that flies.
On the other hand, respect is shown to
the flags of other nations by the sentries
and officers of American men-of-war
saluting when a foreign man-of-war passes
or is passed, which salute is always
reciprocal. likewise, when an Ameri
can man-of-war enters a foreign port, she
fires a gun salute of 21 guns in honor of
the flag of the nation having jurisdiction
over the port, the flag of that nation be
ing hoisted during the firing of the
salute, kwhlch is always answered, gun
for gun.
Throughout the elaborate system of
naval etiquette, the survival of sentiment
is manifested quite as much as the pro
motion of discipline. Nor is this senti
ment wholly ornamental. It has a
decidedly practical value. It animates
both officers and men into a spirit of dar
ing, determination, pluck and patience,
which prompts them to horolo deeds,
fidelity to duty, and cheerfulness under
privation and adversity which cold logic
and materialistic analysis might not pro
duce. It appeals to the epiutual side of
human nature, the ruling quality, which
enables men to overcome physical ob
stacles. In battle man's reason alone
may suggest to him the probability of
defeat, in weary shipwreck or fatiguing
march it may dishearten him with the
apparent hopelessness of his efforts; but
when he sees the flag which this practi
cal sentiment has taught him to honor
and love, emotions are stirred in him
which stimulate him to dogged deter
mination, turning threatened defeat into
victory, and impending failure into
success.
The practical value of the kind of
sentiment which is fostered in the Amer
ican navy was never better exemplified
that in the terrible Samoan hurricane of
18SS), when, in the face of destruction j
and death at any moment, gallant Ad
miral Ktmberiy called lor tne irenton's
band and ordered it to play "The Star
Spangled Banner." The effect was a
beneficial as it was dramatic. Hearing
the strains of tho national anthem
through the wild blasU of the tempest,
the men gathered around, their sonls
were stirred with the thrill of patriotiam,
and, with heroic calmess and perfect
discipline they awaited the end. Uap
pily, the storm moderated in time to
avert the total destruction, and nearly
atl the Trenton's crew were saved ; but
the flag's appeal to the emotions removed
tne possibility of a panic and doubtleis
preveuted the loss ol many lives.
HEAT- IN AUSTRALIA
Worst Spell of Weather Ever
Known in the Antipodes.
MANY DEATHS OCCURRED
Minimum Temperature 107
Degrees.
. Late advices by steamer from Sydney,
N. 8. W., give pariiculars of the terrible
weather being experienced throughout
Australia. In many of the inland towns
the inhabitants have become panic
stricken. Eye-witnesses describe the
alarm as taking a superstitious form.
This feet is curious as confirming Buckle
in his theory that ignorance and supersti
tion more largely prevail where tho
aspect of nature ia the more startling
and imposing. The government was
petitioned to run special trains for the
express purpose of transporting the in
habitants of the heat stricken districts to
cooler parts of the colony.
These prayers were granted bo far as to
run a cheap weekly train from Sidney to
liourke, a distance ot over ouu miles.
Birds dropped dead from the trees.
Those that were alive could be captured
easily by the hand, the wildest and
shyest not excepted. Babbits every
where lay dead.
On some stations the remarkable sight
was witnessed of the Australian magpies
the wildest of birds taking shelter
among the domestic fowls of the yard in
their endeavors to escape from the fierce
heat. Their behavior was that of dazed
and etupified creatures. They were per
fectly indifferent to the presence of hu
man beings, Perhaps the most striking
effect of .tbe unexampled heat was fur
nished from a place named Nyngan,
from whence came the brief and pointed
message: "Alosquitos are being killed
by the" heat."
A private coach occupied by one pas
senger was proceeding from Jundah to
Windorab, Q. Overcome by the heat,
the driver turned the coach aside and
proceeded to camp underneath, while
the passenger took a rest under a neigh
boring tree. When be bad rested suffi
ciently he turned to arouse the driver,
but found him dead. Lifting the corpse
into the coach, he started for Windorab,
but overcome in his turn he fell out of
the coach unconscious and lay on the
road until the rain fell and revived him.
Again he made for Windorah with his
gruesome load and finally arrived there,
to find the landlord of the only hotel in
the place also dead of appoplexy.
Here are other illustrations: A wo
man at Broken Hill died late in the
afternoon from heat appoplexy. At 8 :3i)
tho same evening the daughter, upon
arrival, found the mother's body in an
advanced stage of decomposition. At
Broken Hill also tne temperature of a
body being token by a doctor an hour
and a half after death was found to be
109 degrees. At Bourke, in a fit of lunacy
induced by the excessive beat, a man
procured an axe and cut down several
telegraph poles before he could be secured
by the police. Che margin of Lake
Copage was strewn with tons of fish
killed by the heat.
A thermometer hnng in the shade at
the coolest point on River Darling, the
largest stream In JNew houtu Wales,
registered 107 degrees at the lowest at
the coolest hour of the night, and 129
degrees as the highest during the heat of
the day for 26 days. During this same
time the heat in the city of Adelaide was
172 degrees.
In the vicinityof Boquet, Westmoreland
Co., Pa., almost any one can tell you how
to cure a lame back or stiff neck. They
dampen a piece of flannel with Chamber
lain's Pain Balm and bind on the affected
parts and in one or two days the trouble
has disappeared. This same treatment
will promptly cure a pain in the side or
chest. Mr. E. M. Frye, a prominent
merchant of Boquet, speaks very highly
of Pain Balm, and his recommendations
have had much to do with making it pop
ular there. For sale by Osburn.
The presidency of the Oregon agricul
tural college will be decided by the board

of president of the college and director of

A Bicycle constructed ot material that ia solid, tough and wiry;
that ia simple in construction, easily taken apart and put together again
has few parts, is of such wiry material that its parts will hold together
even in an accident, no hollow material to be crushed in by every con
tact; a frame that cannot possibly be broken ; a frame so simple that its
adjusting parts serve as its connecting parts: a one-piece crank in place
of a dozen parts; always ready to give reliable and rapid transportation.
SPECIFICATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS.
FRAME. Improved Double Diamond. What is a Double
Diamond Frame? Simply a true trues in every direction for strain s
that occur in Cycles the outline of two diamonds in its makeup. The
frames are constructed of f-inch cold rolled steel rods, the toughest and
strongest metal for its weight known, and the parts are joined together
with steel and aluminum bronze fittings in such a manner that it is
impossible to brake or any part to work loose. A marvel of novelty,
simplicity and durability, the greatest combination of ingenuity in bi
cycle mechanism, to build a frame without brazen joints and tubing,
as you know that frames continually break and fracture at brazen joints
and tubes when they are buckled in cannot be repaired. We guaran
tee our Double Diamond Frame for three years. You cannot
break it. Standard size steering head and wheel base, ball bearings
at both ends of head. v
WHEELS. 28-inch front and rear, warranted one-piece wood
rims, best quality piano wire spokes and brass nipples, large barrel hubs
fitted with "Arlington" hose pipe, Morgan & Wright "quick repair,", or
some other first-class pneumatic tire.
AXLE AND BEARINGS. Indestructible ball bearings through
out, with 148 hardened steel balls. Crank shaft bearings are fitted with
our patent ball cases, which are interlocked and support each other and
cannot possibly come apart while in use. Are neat and cover the bear
ings completely. It has been an acknowledged fact that crank axle
bearings are susceptible of improvement, as threaded cones or crank ax
les are continually crowding or working loose. We Bave this entire nuis
ance by having no threaded parts whatever, but a clever device in frame
for adjustment, Our invention is most perfect in simplicity and must
be seen to be appreciated. The sprocket and chain are on the inside of
the frame and ball bearings. Great value is gained by this arrange
ment; ease of running, double wear saved, positive never loose bearings,
freedom from contact with chain and sprocket, smooth outward globu
lar ball bearings, less friction and
men wun tne jointless "one-piece crank," teet, ankles and trousers are
free from injury.
ONE-PIECE CRANK. Our great achievement; by its appli
cation we put two cranks, two pedal axles, two keys, six screws, six nut
and four washers all in one piece. From 50 to 100 per cent, of all the
trouble to bicycles is from cranks working loose and pedal axles that
break from clamping connections. They get loose no matter how much
pains is taken to key and tighten them. This is caused by too many
parts, and it is entirely saSred by our device, which is but one piece,
and made from tough rolled steel rods, impossible to break. It has been
proven that when other cranks break from accident, our one-piece prank
will hardly bend.
CHAIN. Humber block pattern, best quality, hardened.
SPROCKET WHEELS. Best drop forged steel.
REACH. Shortest, 28 inches; longest, 37 inches, -
GEAR. 64 or 72, as specified.
FRONT FORKS. Indestructible. Our fork crowns are simply
a section of gun barrel steel turned up to size, then bored and bent,
forming a perfect fork crown that cannot be surpassed for strength and
beauty, also giving a support to our solid cold rolled fork rods that just
limit the necessary amount of springinesa required in a front fork and
which can only be obtained by use of our forks and crown. ,
HANDLEBARS. Reversible and adjustable, a' marvel of sim
plicity, readily adjusted to any position desired, with best cork or com
position handles. In buying a bicycle it is always a vexed question as
t r vn Viof V fit vaii want. A rrrsreiA rr a 1 atro iaA Vi anrllfi Kara Tf irnn uant.arJ
one kind you could not have the other. Our handle bar enables you to
have either at will. Will furnish Ram's Horn handle bars if preferred.
SADDLES. Gilliam, Reading, or other first-class make.
PEDALS. Rat trap or rubber; full ball bearing,
FINISH. All parts are enameled with our own special enamel,
rubbed down and baked, giving it & handsome black, glossy appearance.
All bright parts are heavily nickle'-plated; these, with the jet black gloss
parts, give a handsome appearance which cannot be excelled.
ACCESSORIES. Each "Maywood" Bicycle is furnished with a
leather tool bag, containing pump, wrench and patent oiler.
WEIGHT. According to tires, pedals, saddles, from 27 to 30 lbs.
A PRICE THAT WILL REACH YOU.
Do not imagine because it is not high priced it is not high grade
We do not use expensive hollow tubing, besides, we belong to no Com
bination or Trust. We own every patent, pay no. royalties, manufacture
the entire wheel ourselves and are satisfied with a reasonable profit, em
ploy no expensive racers, but depend upon the good common sense of
the American people to appreciate a good thing when they see it. . We
afford to make the price we do, for we expect to sell ten "Maywoods"
to one of any individual make sold. We simply say that the "May
wood" is a perfect Bicycle, containing more originality and genuine
points of excellence than can be found in all other machines together.
The "Maywood" has successfully passed through the experimen
tal.stage. During the past three years we have put out over " 5,000
"Maywoods," placed in the hands of riders of all classes and widely
distributed through the country. Expert riders and clumsy riders,
heavy men and light men, on smooth roads and on rough roads, have
given this wheel every conceivable test, proving it to be the best wheel
on earth for every day use, a wheel that can be constantly used over the
roughest roads without showing weakness and the constant necessity of
repairs. Its construction is so simple, its vital parts so strong, that the
possibility of breakage is reduced to a minimum.
PRICES AND TERMS
