THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF C ILL! AM
COUNTY. OREGON.
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

point of Mr. Henderson, Mr. David

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.
One feels sorry for the Becond

writes to an English paper to ask
if it will be suitable to use at the

he married his first wife. There

-wedding rings, for instance, of which

The offices of the county under
the salary system should be run

meeting unnecessary expenses of

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-

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.
