Last week's Arlington Record admit ted that it is green-eyed with envy lio- cause tne Iii.ouk'8 circulation is on almnt four times that of the Record.

Newspaper men are blamed with a lot of things they can't help, such as using partiality in mentioning visitors, giving news about some folks and leaving others out, etc. He simply prints the news he can find.

Some years ago an old deacon in Ore gon was very self-willed, and on two or three occasions made endless trouble in church. At last thechnrch clerk got up and said : "Brethern and sisters, I wish Deacon Jones was In hell." The new pastor and the members were horrified and the pastor said: "Brother Smith, such a remark is unkind and unchristian, why do you use such expressions about a brother?" "Well, pastor," he replied, "I calculate if Deacon Jones was in hell about six months he would bust it up." With two or three exceptions all the newly-elected county officers have quali fied and filed their bonds with the clerk for approval by the county court, which meets next week. Several of the pre cinct officers have not yet filed the necessary bonds. This matter should be attended to at once, or it will lie too late, and in such case the old officers would hold over for another term. All the new county officers will take charge of the respective offices next Monday, July 2d ; the state officers not until the first Monday in January, '05. Because the Glore got the job of printing the programs for the Fossil celebration the Journal's rooster nearly exploded with jealousy and says the work is not satisfactory to himself, of course. The (jlouk was ordered to print pro grams and It did so the regniar sine for such work, and tho managers informed ns that the work is perfectly satisfactory. The big, clumsy, stud-horse posters printed by the Journal are about as neat and well printed as if a broom were dip ped in ink and smeared over the paper. The Oi-obk is prepared to print posters and all kinds of job work, any size, from a postage stamp to the sido of a barn. AlHMit ten days ago Charley Baker of this dace was on his way with a load of wool to The Dalles from Crook county. While going tip the Deschutes hill a ter rific waterspout occured just above him and by the time the water reached him it was ten feet deep. He had six horses hitched to his wagons, the rear being comprised of a trail wagon, on which was ten sucks of wool and to which was tied a 7th horse, the latter belonging to A. N. S. Cottin. This trail wagon and horso happened to be in a low place in tho road and were completely swept into the Deschutes river and lost. Charley fools very thankful that it was no worse, as all his horses and other wugon would have been lost had he been 20 feet fur ther down the hill at the time. Even the Iors of the one wagon, the wool and Mr. Cottin'a horse is considerable such times as the present. Charley has not yet returned home. Notice. The ladies the Baptist church of Fossil will serve warm dinner on. the grounds on July 4,h at the celebration. All are cordially invited. Meals 25c. Proceeds will be used to finish the church. I C, W. llAU. Fokwi,, June 20, MU. A Long Separation. from Tlincs-ftuHutultiMr of June 21t .; Truth is sometimes stranger than fic tion, and there are events in everyday life as startling as those which hove been narrated by celebrated author. Disappearances and meetings after long years of separations happen dnily which would lie interesting reuding matter if woven into the plot of some novel by the genius of writers. One of these happened at The Dalles Tuesday even ing, which is.both strange and thrilling. Thirty-eight years ago there lived in the little town of Dallas, Illinois, a family consisting of mother and father and two sons by the name of Fortna. One of tho children waw aged 20 years, a stal wart Ioy, full of the ideas of youthful adventures, and the other a pratling child of two summers. At that time the west was the land where fortunes were thought to be made in a day, and the elder of the Fortna boys left home for the Pacific coast. Years rolled by, the mother and father were laid to rest in the city of the dead, and the younger Fortna, at the age of '22 years, left the now desolate home to try his fortune in the far west. He wandered to Califor nia, where he remained Some time, and about thirteen years ago settled In Prineville. The elder Fortna in the meantime had made the tour of the coast, living for some time in California, Nevada, and about 'eight years since lo cated at Mayville, Gilliam county, fol lowing for a voction, teaming from that town to The Dalles. Until Tuesday afternoon, these brothers bad not seen each other for thirty-eight years, or had the least knowledge where the other lived. Mr, Lockhead knew the elder brother, Mr, John Fortna, very well, and thought there was a resemblance to the younger man, R. E. Fortna. John having fed his horses at his stables that day and R. E. putting up his team at Joles Bros., Collins & Co'a feed yard he conceived the idea of bringing them to gether and ascertaining the fact whether they were related. He introduced one to the other in the store of Joles Brs., Collins A Co., and after the usual salu tation they tiegan to talk about early reminiscences. The truth immediately flashed upon their minds that they were sons of the same father and mother, and with tears coursing down their bronzed cheeks they clasped each other's hands in a brotherly grasp, and were speech less several minutes. By thone present it is dcscrilied as the most uflocting scene ever witnessed, and the brothers were so overjoyed at seeing each other that they were confused, and as one of them expressed himsilf, "didn't know what to do." When John left home the younger Fortna had no recollection of him, but the parents often talked alxmthimaud wondered where he was, and by this means he had a constant desire to see him. Strange to relate, one winter in California they lived within thirty miles of each other and did not know it, and during the years they have teamed from this city must have seen each other sev eral times without being aware of the fact. Hereafter life will seem brighter to each, and, although one is 58 years old and the other 40, they are boys again in their newly-found relationship. Lone Rock Rlplets. John Madden spent a day or 2 at the county seat last week. Our church is lieing completed and makes a very good showing for a small place like I.one Rock. The crop prospects are the bet that there has ever been in the country, al though they will be late. The Lone Rock folks have concluded to have a picnic up' in the timber near Mr. I). C. Andrews' place on the J. There were several beef buyers through here this week but did not do any busi ness here that we heard of. Mrs. A. Crawford and con George started to the Teal hot springs to spend the next few weeksor until after the 4th. R.M.Johnson made a business trip to Ileppner last week. He reports the crops in the Eightmile country the finest ever known there. W. R. Woods of this place has taken the Ileppner and Lime Rock mail con trart for the next four years, beginning J uly 1 st. 1 le has the Fossil contract also. Johnson, Brown and Colwell are run ning the Bob Brown wood saw to its full capacity, cutting their winter's wood. They cut about 8 cords a day into stove lengths. Several calves have died hereabouts with something like black leg. Last week A. Crawford lost 8 head, we are informed. About 40, head have been vaccinated, which, it is claimed, will prevent it from killing calves. The rem edy is to cut a small hole in the leg of the calf and make a .small pocket be twoen the skin and flesh and insert a piece of garlic about the size of a bean. It is said to be a sure remody, Jno. Doe. .. Notice. As I have made arrangements to leave Condon about July 6th, I must request all who are indebted to me to settle their accounts immediately, as I want to square up with my creditors also he foro leaving.

Bob is a good jeweler, , ' The roads from the country are once more lined with wool teams, since it is known that trains will be running again in a few days. D. S. Sprinkle drove over to Dot last Sunday. His wife and daughter, who had been visiting relatives there, return ed home with him. A large consignment of strawberrie arrived here from Hood River on the last boat, and have been gulped down with the avidity that a trout eats flies. It was hoped that the steamer "Spo kane" would make regular trips to and from the Deschutes, but it seems it will not be possible for us to enjoy such lux ury, as it has slipped oflf borne again. A large force of men and teams arrived Monday last to work on the Union Pa cific, and it will lie only a few days yet until the mighty iron horse will be snort ing through our town again "head and tail up," It can not come too soon. A great deal of freight, including a large quantity of potatoes was on the track here when the flood came. The potatoes have taken considerably of a rising tendency the last week or so, and are gradually "coming up" through the sacks with a growth that is astonishing. So it can lie truthfully stated that the U. P. can raise potatoes while their trains are lying idle. Davidson Dots. Tom Davidson has just purchased a fine new hack. Miss Emma Davidson is home on a visit from her school near Fossil. James Royse of Dayton is visiting bis daughter, Mrs. W. M. Pierce, this week.

If the hair lias been made to grow a natural color on bald heads in thousands of cases, by using Hall's Hair Renewer, whv will it not in your case? Tailor, lunguidness, and the appear ance of ill-health being no longer fash ionable among ladies, Ayer's Sarsaparilla is more largely resorted to as a tonic-alterative, nervine, stomach and builder upoftho system generally. This is as it should be. Ayer's is the best.
