FRIDAY. AUGUST 6, 1S97.
THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM
COUNTY. OREOON.
With a wheat crop of 676 million hualv
tola In sight in the United States and an
unuenally light crop predicted in all the
other great grain producing countries of
the world the prospects of the American
farmer are bright. The recent issneof
"Bradotreet's," which is usually very
conservative in its views as to the busl
nesa future, calls attention to the fact
that the stock of wheat in hand at pres
ent is unusually light, being only 76 roil'
lion bushels, while nearly all the great
grain prou doing countries of the world
have unusually light crops this year,
Recent reports, it says, from Bassia
Germany, France and Hungary point to
decreased wheat harvest, and that Indi
wit) hardly supply her home demand
with like reports from Australia and Ar
gentine and adds: "This brings the
United States to the front as a prom'
inent wheat exporter under similar con
ditions to those which existed in 1870
ever the revival succeding the great pan
ic after five or sis years of retrenchment
and economy." The same publication
calls attention to the fact that during
the month of June there was an advance
in cotton, cotton seed oil, tobacco, bacon
lard, rice, corn, oats, barley, peas, milk,
wheat and other farm products.
A young school ma'am at recent ex
amination gave the following definition
oiman: "Man that is born ol woman
is of few days and full of microbes. Most
tnen are born. I never beard of but one
that wasn't, and he was made out of
mad just for a sample. He was split
half way up and has since learned to
walk on the forked end and chew tobac
co. Man's life Ha . fall of disappoint
ments. He goes forth in the morning
like a lion and leaves the wood for his
wife to chop, and in the evening he
tarteth home and the sidewalk raisetb
up and smitheth him. He has the grip
on road working days and walks 36 miles
to a circus. He will tell you just what
to do in case you have the smallpox or
yellow fever, and then send ten miles for
a doctor when he gets the stomachache,
Tell a man he is greasy and dirty and he
gets on the prod, but say he is slick and
fall of grit and it pleases him. Man
days and dollars are numbered and bis
system is filled with gall."
. The Loudon Globe says that the Japs
can easily whip the United States.
Probably the Globe speaks from a stand
point of malice. Those who have been
"licked" are nsuallv inclined to encour
age another to do the fighting thereafter,
There were people who said the United
States wonld be "licked" in 1773 and
1812, but they proved to be mistaken.

It is really too bad that aocb a bright
light as tbe editor of the Fossil Journal
Dossesses in his brain shonld be hid
away in tbe mountains of the southern
part oi trim county. And it was an
nnfortunate thine for the neat Amen
can people that tbe "editor" did not
give thera tbe benefit of bis "brilliant"
. opinions prior to the cenvenins of the
Chicago convention a year ago, so that
- the democracy might have selected some
other standard bearer than the gifted
orator of tbe Platte: for this learned
recent subject of Queen Victoria has dis
covered that Mr. Bryan is a most or
dinary individual mentally and as an
orator has dozens of superiors in tbe
state of Oregon.
Tbe criticisms which tbe fossil editor
made of the speech are prejudiced and
partisan from start to finish, still the
Oregoman quotes tfaem in full as com
ing from an "independent and entirely
nonpartisan paper," when it it a well
known fact to all who have read the
Fossil Journal for tbe past five years
that it is and has been one of the most
narrow-minded and radical partisan pa
pers published in the Inland Empire
its editor is and has been ever since he
landed on American soil (which ia not
so many months ago) a pronounced re
publican, and has ever taken bis ideas
from tbe paper that now quotes him as
an independent.
Roeetrarg Review : The Oregonian re
prints an article on Mr. Bryan from tbe
Fossil Journal, published somewhere ii
the bench grass country and going week
ly to probably 100 subscribers, which
characterizes as an "independent, clear
ly non-partisan pauer." The article In
question gives a good idea of what the
Oregonian considers fairness, consisting
of a column of unjust and unfair abuse
of Mr. Bryan.
As a sample of tbe Journal's "infln
nee? in "supporting" McKinley, tbe
usual republican majority of 200 in Gil
liana county was reduced at the Novetn
ber election to 70. But as the "honor
end Integrity and very life of the nation
were at stake," I he Journal's conceited

Desires to inform the people of Gilliam county that his
business ia running on lull time at the old standUnion
Block, Arlington, Oregon; that the flashy, misleading
newspaper advertisements and circular letters that are
flooding the country have not affected his trade; but on
the coutrary, sales have been increasing. His many old
friends and customers realite that no business man will
give away something for nothing. What he loses on the
"baits" he will more than doubly make up on the other
goods he sells his customers. Look out for snares. One
of our greatest statesmen 40 years ago truthfully said:
"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all
of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of
the people all of the time."
James W. Smith's immense stock of -roods
will speak for him. Call and examine the
largest stock of goods ever shown in Gilliam
county. His stores are loaded from floor to
ceiling, and as regards prices he will en
deavor to keep in the procession."
Many of the lines are bought direct from the East in large
quantities for cash, which enables him to give his oustom
. ers great inducements to favor him with their patronage.
