Boiling Criminals to Death.
Boiling criminals to death was
once a legal mode of execution in
England for counterfeiting and lat
er for committing murder by poi
soning. An act of parliament pass
ed in 1531 provided that convicted
poisoners should le boiled to death,
though this form of punishment
was not applied to any other class
of murders. The law "was in force
about fifteen years, and under it
three persons were boiled to death,
one a cook who put poison in food
intended for his parish poor and
another a maid who poisoned her
mistress. A Dublin paper of Feb.
28, 1703, said that "twelve coiners
(counterfeiters) were seized in the
act of coining and, having been
tried and found guilty, were four
hours afterward boiled" in oil, three
of them women." Dallas News.

MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
THURSDAY, April, 16, - - 1914,
WITHVCOMBE FOR GOVERNOR.
rtr .Tames Withycombe, Director
of the Oregon Agricultural College
and Experiment Station, Is in the
race for the Governorship, and de
serves the loyal support of every far
mer and stock raiser in the "web
foot" State. Dr. Withycombe has
always been loyal to the sheep and
irnat interests of Oregon and has
fought their battles on the tariff, the
range and every other big question
in which they were vitally interested.
He was secretary of the Pacific
Northwest Sheep Breeders' Associa
tion for a number of years and for
two years president of the North
west Sheep Breeders' Association, in
cluding the States of Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana,
and Utah. For forty- three years he
has been a resident of Oregon, and
during sixteen years, of that time has
been director of the Oregon Experi
ment Station. Dr. Withycombe is
one of Oregon's strongest men and
has been identified with every
movement for the upbuilding of ag
ricultural and livestock raising in
that state. His sound views on
great national issues, and especially
those in which the wool industry is
interested, are known to every reader
in the Northwest. He is a man of
strong character and force, and no
one knows better the needs of the
great state of Oregon. Every wool
grower and goat raiser should take
off his coat and work for Dr. James

PROUD OP SINNOTT.
All of the large New York and
Washington newspapers devoted
much space to Representative
Sinnott's brilliant and eloquent
speech in the house on March 27,
against the repeal of the provision
In the Panama canal act providing
for free tolls for American coast
wise ships. Mr. Sinnott was not
only warmly commended for his
splendid oratorical effort but for
reasoning in handling this weighty
subject.
Out here in Oregon we read his
speech and the flattering comment
following it in the big papers of
the east with a thrill of pride that
"Nick" Sinnott is OUR congress
man the representative of the
second congressional district of
Oregon. Yes, Mr. Sinnott is more
than our congressman, for the en
tire state and west is proud to
claim him because of the remarkable
record he has made during his first
year in the national house. The
Dalles Chronicle.
Placing the House.
Don't put the house too close to
the main road. Ilave it at least 100
feet away. When you get it too
close dust cornea into the house,
and you sacrifice the privacy of the
home to a certain extent. Houses
too close to the road do not look
well and are not as valuable. No
tice this next time you drive to
town. Provide a windbreak and
trees for shade. Ilave the main
highway in view fr,om certain win
dows in the house. Progressive

Easter Sunday was observed In an
appropriate manner in the Heppner
churches. The display of flowers
and Easter millinery was much in
evidence hut there was also an air
of religious sanctity pervading the
sanctuary and the real significance
of the occasion was not overlooked.
According to report from Wash
ington, D. C. published in The Eve
ning Telegram of Wednesday last, a
political combination has been per
fected between Chamberlain, WeBt
and Bourne. This was brought
about during the recent visit of Gov.
West to Washington. According to
this story West is to be an lndepend
ent candidate for governor should
C. J. Smith fall of nomination, and
the battle cry Is to be state-wide
prohibition. The amusing part of
the report, however, is the statement

that Senator Chamberlain has con
sented to espouse the cause of the
"drys", as this is his only hope or
riefeatine K. A. Booth. What a
joke! George E. Chamberlain a
prohibitionist! We have long known
that George was trying to put tne
saloons out of business but never
suspicioned that he would consent to
go out and talk against them. It
must be that the whole story origina
ted in the fertile brain of an energet
ic reporter.
The installing of the new linotype
in the' Gazette-Times olllce this week
has been the occasion of much in
terest on the part of the Heppner
citizens. The machine is here,
friends, and we are now operating it
and want you to come in and see it
work; it is certainly a marvel of me
chanical construction and porfection
and places us in position to give you
a better paper than ever. In fact
we will not take a back seat for any
country print shop in the Northwest.
A Drink and Fight.
The Albanians used to practice a
form of dueling well nigh as fatal
as that advocated by Sir Charles
Napier. Sir, Richard Burton, who
once commanded a corps of bashi
bazouks, writes that "the Albanian
contingent, who generally fight
when they are drunk, had a peculiar
style of monomachy. The princi
pals, attended by their seconds and
by all their friends, stood close op
posite, each holding a cocked pistol
in his right hand and a glass of
raki or spirits of wine in his left.
The first to drain his draught had
the right to fire, and generally blaz
ed away with fatal effect. It would
have been useless to discourage this
practice, but I insisted on fair
play." London Chronicle.
General and Admirals.
The generals in chief of the army
have been: Washington; Arthur St.
Clair, March, 1701, to March, 1792;
James Wilkinson, 1800 to 1812;
Henry Dearborn, 1812 to 1815;
Jacob Brown, 1821 to 1828; Alex
ander Macomb, 1828 to 1841; Win
field Scott, 18-11 to 1861; George
B. McClellan, Nov. 1, 18G1, to
March 11, 18G2; II. W. Ilalleck,

1869; W. T. Sherman, 1809 to 1883:
P. II. Sheridan, 1883 to 1888.
Esck Hopkins was the first com
mander of the navy, and Commo
dore Isaac Chaunccy was ranking
officer of the navy in the war of
1812. David 0. Farragut was cre
ated admiral July 25, 18G4; David
A. Por.tcr, Out. 17, 1870; George
Dewey, March 3, 1899. The last
three are the only naval officers to
hold the rank of admiral. Maga
zine of American History.
Ons Dante Missed.
We came to a great lako of mol
ten lead. On the banks stood thou
sands of hydroplanes. Every sixty
seconds a cringing shado was plod
ded into the seat of a hydroplane
and compelled to shoot high into
the air. When the machine had
reached an elevation of 1,000 feet
the hydroplane would wobble until
it tossed the screaming occupant
out, and ho would fall into the lake
below.
"What docs this mean?" we
asked.
"This is where we punish the
men who rocked tho boats when
they were on earth," replied his
satanio majesty. Cincinnati En
