Eaforoed ia a half hearted sort of
way, tbe game laws of the Stale of
Oregon are not looked upon seriously
by men witbout'tbe necessary princi
ple to do right because it is right and
uot because they are compelled to do
so. 'lbe out-of -season shooting is said
to bo considerable, whioh is no duonbt
true. Another thing counties are
compelled, under the law, to collect
tbe fee for hunters' licenses, bear all
tbe expense of such collection, and re
mit the money to tbe state. One nat
urally wonders where the counties "get
off at" in such a obbo. The issue of
hunters' licenses just now iu Union
County is about 100 short compared
with this time last year, says tbe
Uuiou Eeputlioau, and the iuferenoe
is uatural that there are some who are
hunting without licenses. Evideutly
the flsh and game authorities are plac
ing tbt sportsmen largely upon their
honor in tbe matter of observing the
law, and while this is all right in
some oases, it wilJ not work in otbors.
Urass bands will play a prominent
part in tbe campaign of tbe Hoosier
branoh of the Hearst Independence
party, if the plans of tbe party leaders
are carried out. Charles G. Conn, cf
Elkhart, tbe millionaire manufacturer
of musical instruments, is being urged
to accept the nomination for governor,
and according to delegates who are
here today iu advance of the state con
vention, be will probably accept. Mr.
Couu is known all over tbe world as a
maker of wind instruments and bis
fame in this direotiou should insure
hiin tbe brass baud vote. Ho has made
mnnv millions in his business. Until
recently be was a democrat and served
several times in congress. At one time
..'be "was tbe owner of tbe Wasbiugton
Times, now tbo property of FranK
Muusey, which he oonduoted for the
alleged purpose of giving his oougres
sional aots proper publicity. He is a
clever advertiser, and if nominated tor
governor by tbe independents', will
likely make a speotaoular race.
"Advertising Oregon" is the title of
a page in "Printers' Ink" of July 8th,
Ouo of the most widely known adver
tising journals. And it is no woudor
that the state's work aloug these lines
has attracted this attention, for no
portion of America is circulating the
attruotive literature that burdons the
mails of Oregon everyday iu tbe year.
Now that tbe colonist rates are iu ef
feut every citizen of the state should
feel it his duty to advertiso tbe fact iu
bis personal oorrospoudeuoe, to aid in
eveiy possible way tbe commercial
organizations which 'are wot king to
iuorease the state's population.
Oue thousand Central Illinois farm
ers are packing up their household
goods aud preparing to move to Ore
gon Lefure next spring. They have
made arrangements to come out by
spooial trains to Sou thorn Oregon aud
will settle ou the military road grant
iu Lake aud Harney counties. This is
probably the largest emigration from
ouo point to a western state since the
days of the old Orogou trail, aud will
bring a particularly desirable class of
farmers aud residents iuto Southern
Orogou.
Claruuoe S. Harrow, tbe Chicago at
torney who attained international
fame as chief counsel iu tbe Haywood,
Meyer aud Puttibone defeuse, will
take an active part iu the socialist
campaign. He will deliver several
addresses, amoug theui a Labor day
speech in Hraud Central Palace, New

O. R. N. RECONSTRUCTION.
Mr. J. J Hill has been of great ben-
tyJortUnd and too regiou east-
wud,i not ouly direotly, iu building
tbe north bauk road, but iudirectly,
by spurring Mr. Harrimao into action.
Not only bos Mr. XJarrimau promised
to build a toad through central Oregou
and discovered at least tbe Nehalem
Tillamook ooantry, but he is now prac
tically rebuilding the O. R. & N. from
Port laud up the Colombia, aa far as
Unintilln the poiut to whioh it rnus
oioaoaud parallel to the oew toil J.
It is said that in this reconstruction
work alone he will spend some f 20,
000,000. The north bank road is said
to be tbe beet constructed road in the
country. Though iu places it was
very diffloult to build, no expense was
spared to make it the best road poss
ible. Trains can run over it safely at
a high rate of speed. With snob a
road, as to speed, if not ad to weight of
loads hauled, tbe O. R. & N., with its
ligbter rails and worn and somewhat
negleoted traok, could not successfully
complete. But Mr. Harrimao, as
without this competition be might not
bave done for years to come, will make
bis road along tbe Columtia equal to
Dill's, or as nearly so as possible, so
that trains can run twice as fast and
baul greater loads. Tbus tbe gorge of
tbe Columbia, for some 200 miles east
ward from Portland, will bave two of
tbe very best roads in tbe United
States, competing side by side. This
work will not only give employment
for a good while to many men, and put
a great deal of money in circulation
hereabouts, bat will be of much posi
tive and permaneut advantage to Port
land and tbe upper country.
Here we get an idea of tbe vast value
of competition, of worthy rivalry, as
against monopoly. As long as Mr.
Hatiinian bad a monopoly of tbe busi
ness, hn did not care very muob bow
it was done or whether his road was in
first-class shape or not Trains might
mope along at toy old speed, and as
long as the traok would carry the
sauntering trains it would do; but no
sooner does Mr. Hill build a new road
alongside, than Mr. Harriman sees tbe
necessity of building one just as good.
Tbus will tbe people be far tetter
served tban they have been, not only
by tbe new Hill road but by the re
constructed old road as well. Railroad
competition, to some extent, is an ab
solute necessity to tbe people's wel
fare; railroad monopoly tbronghout
any large and important region is op
pressive, and it should be and must be
made unlawful in fact as well as in
terms of statutes. Portland Journal.
EYES AND THEIR MEANING.
Wide open eyes are asid to be indi
cative of rashness.
Side-glanoing eyes are always to be
distrusted.
Tbe downcast eye has in all ages
been typical of modesty.
Ibe proper distance between tbe eyes
is tbe width of oue eye.
People of melanoholy temperament
rarely bave clear blue eyes.
Eyes with long sharp corners indi
cate great discernment and penetration.
Tbe wbite of tbe eye showing te
neatb the iris is indicative of nobility
of obaraoter.
When the upper lid covers half or
more of tbe pupil tbe iudioation is of
cool deliberation.
Gray eyes turning green iu anger or
excitement are indicative of a choleric
temperament.
An eye the upper lid of which passes
horizontally across the pupil iudioates
mental ability.
Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from
sidetoside. are frequently indicative
of an unsettled mind.
Eyes that are wide apart are said by
physiognomists to indioate great intel
ligence and a tenacious memory.
Eyes placed close together in tbe
bead are said to indicate pettiness of
disposition, jealousy and a turn for
faultfinding.
Wide open, staring eyes in weak
countenances indicate jealousy, bigotry
intolerance and pertiuaoity without
any firmness.
When tbe under arcb of tbe upper
eyelid is a perfect semicircle it is in
dicative of goodness, but also of timid
ity, sometimes approaobiog cowardice.

I consider Win of Cardui superior
to any doetora medicine I eTr need
nd I know whereof I speak. I suf
fered for nine months with suppressed
menstruation which completely proa
trated me. Pains would shoot through
my baok and sides and I would have
blinding headaches. My limbs would
swell up and I would feel so weak I
could not stand up. I naturally felt
discouraged for 1 seemed to be beyond
the help of physicians, but Wine of
Cardui earns as a God-send to me. I
felt a change for the belter within a
week. After nineteen days treatment
I menstruated without suffering the
agonies I usually did and soon became
regular and without pain. Wine of
Cardui is simply wonderful and I wish
that all suffering women knew of Its
good qualities.
