months ago purchased " the Flagstaff
mine, six miles east of Baker City, from
tbo French company ' that bad been op

arrived in the city Sunday, for the pur-
I pose of taking up tho debts of the new
company accumulated during the past
six weeks, and putting the mine in active
operation again; When sees Mr, Camp
bell said he had nothing to say; but those
close to him assert that the facts stated
above are correct. This Is a big thing

two or three weeks. Whether there will
be a publte auction sale of wool this
year, on the Wyoming plan, has not yet
been decided, but moat dealers favor the

ASHLAND, May fL Weed Cline, who
left Ashland with . his father, Thomas j
Cllne, and other members of the family I
about a year ago for Prescott, A. T., was
killed In Los Angeles, Cal., last Monday -
The news has just reached here through

After spending several months In Arl-
sona the family moved to Los Angeles.
There Mr. Cllne and.hls son. Weed, se
cured work at carpentering. At the time
of his- death Weed was a steady, Indus

Character of the Protesting Re
publicans in Uraatillla
County.
PENDLETON, Or., May l,-To the
Editor: It was thought by many that
the wave which brought such strength
and enthusiasm to our state ticket would
spend its force before June 2, but the
contrary has proved true. When we look
around and see all the rank and file
of Democracy lining up, spurred on by
more than 600 Republicans (and the best
Republican of this county), it is im
possible to calculate its force.
Among the prominent Republicans In
this county we find seven ex-Republt
can members of the Oregon Legislature,
lawyers. doctors. laborers, grocers.
bankers, farmers, millmen and all other
classes of the best rank and file boldiy
Standing out against the methods used
In securing his nomination In the manner
employed by the Republican candidate
and his boosters.
They openly state that the high office
of Governor of the great state of Oregon
must not be tilled in such a manner, c
thus rob-the office of "all dignity.
A majority of the voters of this county
will not be parties to any such a Job,
especially when the opportunity is offered
them of casting their votes for a clean,
honest, competent man.
There is not a day passes that reports
from Weston, Athena, Milton, Adams and
other parts do not come in of the best
men openly bolting ths Republican tick,
et, and especially the head of the ticket.
- The party lash has nd terrors for tbem.
Another very noticeable thing is the die.
trust with which the reports of the cam.
palgn as given through the Oregonlan
are read. The people read Furnish' e
speeches with a broad grin.

SALEM. May IL Sohlatter. the "divine
healer," is In Salem. He made his unex
pected appearance on the streets In
garb supposed to have been worn in the
days of . jesos. His Intention is to look
like Jesus, and he does resemble the or
dinary pictures of Jesus to' some extent
He has long flowing hair, long beard
and a full-length gown of purple ana
black. He la not approachable; hence
his preeence here Is rather mysterious.
It is stated by some that his object Is
to secure some "healing" grounds to work
in. This Schlatter is famous the United
States over, and has to his eredlt some
wonderful cures. Some years ago a lad
In Salem was bedridden. His parents
heard of Schlatter, who was then In Col
orsdo. and his cures, and sent a hand
kerchief belonging to the boy to Schlat- J
ter. In due time It was returned with
Instructions. The boy uied the- handker
chief, and was soon healed at " least th
lad's parent claimed so at tbe time. The
handkerchief was charged with healing
power by Schlatter.. The movements of
this eccentric character will be attentive
ly watched by the people of Salem, a?
much out of. curiosity as Interest In his
alleged healing power.

THE DALLES.
OREGON CITY.
(Journal Special Service.)
OREGON CITX. May 21- Twenty-eight
bomestead locations have been filed in the
local land office to date during the month
of May, to say nothing of timber land lo
cations, which is a fair average of this
sort of business for the past two years.
During the same period the receipts from
commuted homestead entries and final
proofs on timber claims has amounted to
about $8,000, and May Is not unusual a
lively month for land" locations or final
proofs. Fees and comknlsslons are not
included In the above amount or money
from, other Sources. When the rush for
government lands began in the Oregon
City district nearly three years ago, and
the Northern Paciflo Railway Company
located almost 100,000 acres of lieu lands
la Tillamook. Linn. Polk' and Clackarniu
Counties, it was believed that all the best
lands bad been taken, and that business
at the land office would soon resume its
former status but the rush for lands
ronttnue. Not all the homestead locations
are being taken by actual home-makers.
Oftentimes, It Is .preferable to file a
homstead on a desirable piece of timber
land, and commute with cash entry six
months later. This rush for government
lands has resulted in many contests, and
land office lawyers are doing a thriving
business. The local land Office court la In
lesston the greater part of the time, the
testimony In each Case being reduced to
irhtlng. The Register, and Receiver pass
n tho cases, and the opinions are sent
to the general land office for approval,
ind some times. are appealed to that

OFFICIALS ARE HOSTILE
(Journal Special Service.)
SALEM, Or., May 2t-The Marlon
County taxpayers are feeling Very mucl
relieved over the bill put in by the ex
parts, who have Just completed a six
months' contract of expertina tbe rec
ords. The bill was for 1872. Parties ts
miuar wun me wora going on esumate
the expense would run up to something
like $2000. But, while the taxpayers art
agreeably relieved, they only repreeeu
one and of the affair. At tho other ene
the experts have the county officials linec
up for pruning. The report baa increaser
the temperature around the courthouse
No one has boiled over yet, but at time
this point Is dangerously near. The cour
wrestled with the commute ; and ther
with the experts, alternately, The coun
appointed the committee to fix the pay
for the experts, and It finally decided oi
allowing them $5 each per day. After get
ting the committee off its hands, th
court tackled the experts upon a ques
tion of allowing them $5 a day for
portion of the time they waited pendln
the suit which was brought at the ver
beginning of the work by the county of
ficials to restrain the report being mad'
at that particular time. ' The experts sat
the trial out, and after the decision wa
favorable to the making of the report,
they proceeded with the work. They now
ask the county to pay them tho rate fixed
by the committee for the time spent
waiting for the findings of the Circuit
Court, before which the suit was com
menced. The committee reported on this
Question to the court and recommended
that pay be allowed only for the day,
actually devoted to the work. The court
decided, basing Its decision upon the find
ings of the committee. Therefore the ex
perts failed to receive the amount claimed
while awaiting the result of the trial, and
were paid for the time actually engaged
In the work.

Rumors were afloat among the bicycle
fraternity yesterday of an automobile
race to take place on the Irvlngton track
between Fred T. Merrill and&L Wemme
today.
Since autos came Into use In Portland
i here has never yet been a matoh race
between competing owners, and the
event if truly to be pulled off, wss looked
forward to with considerable Interest.
Mr. Merrill stated last night that be
had heard that Mr. Wemme, the pioneer
automobile man In Portland, had Issued
a challenge for a race. The tent and
awning man has a new Haynes-Apper-
machlne, and it was stated that he
could clean out anything In the city, Mr.
Merrill said he was willing to have a
go with his friend Wemme at any time.
i 1 that he would put his Toledo steam
ir up against the Haynes-Apperaon.
Wemme waa seen last evening concern
ing the challenge, and denied that he had
Insued tt, or authorized the same.
My best machine is being repaired,"
he replied, and could .not possibly be
ready for a race for tcvU wecUs yet
1 have a smaller one, however, which
can clean out anything in Portland, If
It comes to that; but 1 have no Intention
at present of challenging Mr. Merrill for
a race."
THE WHEEL TAX.
The force of bicycle tax coIIjr.rs en'
out last year to seize wheels were sub

they put in to little purpose that ths
move will not be repeated this year.

lectors were sent out too early In the
season. The weather wss bad, patns
were In poor condition, and but few rid
ers were caught out Not mrreuentiy
a deputy remained out all day, stationed
by some one of the bicycle paths, with
out making a selsure.
When the fine weather did come around
and the wheelmen turned out In large
numbers to enjoy It, the force was
rushed to find accommodations for the
wheels that were taken up. They were
brought Into the Sheriff's office by the
wagon load, and were generally redeemed
the next day.
