GOVERNOR PENNOYER. . 8ylve8ter Pennoyer, who has filled the governor's chair of this state for eight vears. has turned over tne otnee 10 nm successor, i Judge Lord. There is, perhaps, no; .- who pvpr h..ld th nftii . that neiu ine omee mai uoh abuse, as many it him as Governor has had as m Dines made at Pennoyer, and certainly none who deserve them less. We may differ from him iu political opinions, we may smile at some of his vagaries a..i mo mow rrpt. Bnnin ot his opinions concerning the courtesy due to those in high national au - thOTitv; but when we pass the acts efthe'man in review for the past iht. vnr. nmv find nuioh trt aken our admiration, and much I more that we may approve, Pennoyer's administration has been a clean one, and he goes out of office with the respect of the people, regardless of politics. Some will find fault with his exercise of the pardoning power, but an ex amination into that matter will diBclose the fact that iu uearly every case the application for a pardon was signed by the judge, prosecuting attorney or jurors who tried vhe case. His action at Cor vallis when the Oregon Pacific was clamoring for troops endeared him to the hearts of the laboring classes, and his famous epigram, '"Pay your men and you won't need any troops," will be remembered long after all of us have passed away. The newspapers, for lack of something else to vent their sar casm on, have encouraged each other in trying to be witty at the governor's expense; but now that he has stepped down and out, the people will recognize the fact that they have lost an honest official, smd a friend. Dalles Chronicle. The statement given out yester day morning as to how the repub lican legislators of Eastern Oregon would probably vote in the selec tion of a U. S. senator was gen erally accepted as correct. It also resulted in a good story being told ;at the expense of Mr. I. A. Hender son of Mayville, the defeated pop ulist candidate for representative in Gilliam , county. During the canvass, Mr. Henderson, although not much of a speaker, took the stump and with free silver as a text, held meetings at all the schoolhouses and crossroads in his county. His oppouent was J. E. David, and the burden of Hender son's remarks was: "If you elect David, that means you wantDolph for senator." The republicans ac cepted the issue, and when the votes were counted, Mr. David had Aim uuouuju uiajui a vj v v uid jrsp ulist opponent. From the stand point of Mr. Henderson, Mr. David accepts the result as being favor- nannoAmo moinntir avop hia ----. i ble to Mr. Dolph, and he is going to support him for senator. Ore Ionian.

Minneapolis .Timee. rSenator Dolph's return to the U. :S.. senate, is conceded by the best celement in all parties. Prominent democrats have ttated that of all th names mentioued in opposition to him, none have been presented that carry weight enough to secure their election. One very promi nent democratic politician said to the Chronicle: "Senator Dolph is the only candidate qualified for the position, circumstances and condi tions considered. I would rather see him re-elected than a new man 'sent to fill his place at this stage 5f proceedings." This is the senti ment expressed throughout the etate.- Portland Chronicle.

The offices of the county under the salary system should be run within the law and with the great est economy possible. The general taxpayer has enough trouble meet ing his private expenses, let alone meeting unnecessary expenses of the offices not covered by the stat ute in unnecessary deputy hire, etc. E. O.

The South Carolina legislature has again killed a bill to allow di vorces. It is the only state in the union where a divorce cannot be had on any grounds. County Clerk Lucas Will Re sign. Jay P. LnoHs, who has very ably and creditably discharged the duties of coun ty clerk of Gilliam county since its or ganization eleven years ago, having been appointed for the first terra by Uov. Moody and elected five consecutive times to the office, gave notice, to the county court last week that he will tender his resignation at the March session of court. His reason for doing so is that he and his wife desire to move onto and take charge of his mother's farm near Mon mouth, Polk county. Hia mother is al most 64 years of age and as her son Bert. who, with his . wife had been residing wmi ner, nas movea to rortiana, the old lady is practically left alone, and she wants Jay to. take charge of the farm, which is among the largest and most valuable in Polk county. Feeling mat it is ins uuty to. io so Jav has con- KtiA . . " the spring. Considering the amonnt of work in the clerk's office during these stringent times, the position is considered quite a "snap." With what the office pays a county clerk in addition to the salary of $1510 a year, makes the position worth over $2000 a year. Since it is known that Mr. Lucas expects to resign, snan- I1001,6!;8 Br bobbing ap everywhere "Pw,Tan.a as book-keeping con- stitutes the principal work of the otfie any one of them would doubtless fill the position satisfactorily. It is probable that those aspiring to the position will present petitions to the county court; Or H may be that they will present written applications only. We believe that the majority of the taxpayers of this county are of the opin ion that for the past year, and for some time to come (during this unprecedented financial depression) there is not suffi cient work in the county offices of this county to justify the county in hiring deputies at $75 month or any other amount. As nearly all of our taxpayers are of this opinion, would it not be a good idea for the county court to appoint any competent, responsible man to the position of clerk who is w illing to do all the work himself for the lawful salary of 1500 a year and what it pays on the side should such application fie made? We believe there are a number of thor oughly competent men in thiscounty, ei ther of whom would be willing to take charge of the office upon these condi tions. We believe such application will lie made, and if so, we fail to see how the court could conscientiously ignore it when the fact is considered that the officer is under heavy bond to perform the dutiesof the office properly. Should he find that a deputy is needed per haps two weeks each time circuit court meets, the clerk could well afford to pay for such assistance outof his own pocket. A number of counties in this state, some having two and three times the popula tion that Gilliam has, have not found it necessary to employ deputies, and our taxpayers do not feel that thev can af (ord such unnecessary luxnries'either.

That Terrible Christmas Fire. , The Lake View Examiner publishes the following from an eye witneno ile- '...inlinf II.. u.... .t o:, . c...,....... ...c run, nv onver iKe ai the time of the terrible holocaust: It seems that for a time, w hile the burning lamp lay near the door, there was comparative omet, although even then women, children, yes, rihI men too, were being held back bv thtwe try injf to control them. Possilily the dis aster might have lieen less direful bar not some one at the moment jumped through the. flames and reached the door, thus exciting others to imitate him. One young lady approached the nre s eoge, aountiess with the intention of making her escape in the same man ner. She hesitated for a moment as if about to leap, when a tongue of flume reaciiea out and caught her dresa. Some of the less excited people went to rescue her, and in that way their at tention was taken from those thev had been restraining. Whether the domi nant idea in the minds of the most ex cited was that the only route to freedom lay through the doorway, or that the sight of the lady's burning apparel mov ed them to a frenzy of fear, or both, is not known, but a wild rush was made toward the door. A little girl, at a disadvantage from her stature, was pushed or fell down and was trodden upon. Her mother cried, "For (iod's sake, don't trample on mv child," and bending to lift her, was her self forced down by the crowd, ot hers stumbling over them, and the flames from the oily floor enveloped all who fell. ' The scene cannot I even imagined by one not actually present at this or some similar cat.isthrope, said the eye wit ness. Now and then, for an instant, when the though of self or the help of others was not uppermost, some, expres sion of face would catch your eye and leave its expression on your memory forever. In many face wasthe expres sion of terror mingled with pnin and fear. On top, trying to crawl over those erect, could 1 seen some with eves pro truding. One such sight leaves with von a memory never to lie forgotten. The expression of those eyes said plain er than any words, and said nothing else, Life! life I I must have life! Amid this scene, however, there were examples of manly courage. One man who tried to rescue a little girl, whose clothing was on' fire and who undoubt edly would have been tram bled upon in another moment, hurriedly went to her assistance, picked her np and held her" on his shoulder, at the same time with his bare hands trying to smother the fire which was rapidly consuming her garments, the flames from which all the while lapped his head and and face. He remained cool and apparently aware of the selfishness of pushing onward or backward to the injury of others. Sud denly he was seen to stagger and sink, evidently having inhaled the flames from the" girl's burning clothing. It is known that three men, who had made their escape, went into the burn ing building to save some relative and were never seen again. ' Clay Martin came out with T. J. La brie'e child in his arms, but seeing that his wife was not there, hestarted back. Several people tried to keep him out, but he pushed in, with the child still in his arms, saying, "I am going to save 'Becky,'" (his wife). He and the child were not seen again. Wood Hurst, familiarly known as "Senator" Hurst, who had recently been maryied, could not find his wife outside, and, notwithstanding the many entreaties to stay4Mit, he went back to save her. He was loct. Frank Ross: did the same. His mother was inside and he wanted to save her. Without a doubt each one of these men blocked the narrow passage and prevented othets; from getting out. j Mrs. Dr. OwIey and her sister. Mrs. I Snelling, when last seen were kneeling fide by side, praying fervently, as if they knew it was their last moment on earth. Others were seen lo be rnnnimr aimlessly about, seemingly dazed, and might have escaped had they not lout their presence of mind. During the heat of the fire the front doors of the store were broken in and Cope West and others tried, with a large piece of wood, to punch holes up throngh the floor, thinking some might escape that way, but without success. Appeals for help were heartrending. For a Sweet Breath. . Don't expect to have clean teeth or a sweet breath while there is a tinge of white on the tongue. It is an unmis takable evidence of indigestion. Drink sour lemonade, eat ripe fruit and green vegetables for purgatives, exercise free ly, use plenty of . water inteinnl'y, and externally, keep up the treatment until the mouth is clean, healthy and red. Various thingi are suggested to coun teract an unpleasant breath resulting from a bad tooth, wine or garlic-scented dishes. Cinnamon, mint, creams, orris root, cloves, mastic rosin and spruce' gum will disguise some odors. Ten drops of tincture of myrrh in n glass of water will sweeten and refresh the mouth. A tea spoonful of spirits of cam phor or peppermint in the satne gargle is among the very best antiseptics, and a few drops of myrrh and camphor in the water are recommended in case of cold, throat trouble or any slight indie position which may affect the breath.
