Curious silver Discovery.

The ncwly.dscovercd Camp Creek
mines, in the southern part of Wasco
county, Oregon, is occupied by stock
ranchers, who formerly had much
trouble to keep their cattle from getting
mircd in the numerous sink-holcs, or
soap well, rs they were called in this
vicinity. These wells are filled with a
soft, slippery, gravish substance which,
when used in water, makes II very good
soap. The depths OF these wells are not
known, but the liquid stands at differ.
cnt levels, showing that there can be no
underground communication between
them. A short time since an assay
was made of some of this soap, and it
was found to contain very large per-
oen.age of chloride silver Tho first as
say at Portland returned $4,000 to the
ton; the next, at San Francisco, $3.50,
and later ones from $500 to $4,000 to the
ton. These will seem like pretty large
figures, but the mines have been assay
ed by several different assayers, and they
all report over $500 to the ton. One
consolidated company has already fixed
its stock value ut 100000 and begun
selling shares The mines are situated
on Camp Creek near the post Office of
Pinevlle in the southern part of this
county, The engineers are at work on
the locks of the cascades of Columbia,
about fifty miles below here, and we
expect in few years to have uuinter-
rupted communication with the coast

The people Of this country are at
taehed to its institutions, and love the
organized freedom and system of self
government established by the Federal
constitution. IL is the senseless delu-
sion of disordered brain and the fool-
ish expectation of q corrupt heart fer
any official, intrusted with any portion
OF the power of this Government, to
hope that he can betray that freedom
or commit violence on that system and
escape the wrath and vengeance of the
people he has outraged. They have de.

They cherish il as q sacred inheritance,

any treachery by which they might be
polluted, so will they defend their

REPRESENTATIVES, Cmro, Republican
member of the Louisiana investigating
committee, thinks Eliza Pinkston story
exceedingly diaphanous. Mr.. Grape
believes that the Pinkston murder il
one on which the Republicans cannot
afford to rest their case. He says there
is abundant evidence of Mrs. Pinkstons
bad character, 1t was proved that she
was guilty of iniantioide on at least two
occasions, and of other crimes. The
white men who were accused by Mrs.
Pinkston of having participated in the
murder of her husband proved alibis to
Mr. Grapos satisfaction, and the weight
OF the evidence went to show beyond u
reasonable doubt that Pinkston was
killed by negro named Brooks and
his associates, with whom Pinkston had
short time before had desperate
fight, and who had openly threatened
to shoot him.

DENTON, TEX ~, January Is, 1917.
TO the Editor Of The Herald;
The examination in the case Of the
State vs. John Markham, for the killing
of l'Iippin and Harrison, at Pilot Point,
this county, New Years Eve was con.
cludcd before Judge Ilogg, Of the Coun-
ty Court, on last Saturday Markham
was held TO bail in the sum Of five
thousand dollars for the killing Of Flip
pin, and in the sum of ten thousand
dollars for the killing Of Harrison,
which, we may say, virtually decides
that Markham will be acquiltal on the
final trial, though he yet has rough
road to travel, and rough customers to
handle before he is out Of the meshcs
Of the law. And thus two Of Pilot
Points crack sportsmen have passed in
their checks, and their executioner
weeps pistol balls over their graves.
General Cabel is in town in the in.
torcst of the Dallas and Wichita rail-
road The citizens of Denton will sub.
subscribe twenty-five thousand dollars,
lands and money, for the benefit Of the
road under the belief that the road will
be put through on time The General

the question and it seems TO me, some

WHEN Field Marshal Won Moltke was

sons afflicted with badness will be glad
to hear that luxurant growth OF hair

cess, described by British consul at a
Russian port, in his commercial report
In the summer of 1878 his attention
was drawn to several cases OF badness
among bullocks, cows, and oxen, and
the loss of names and tails among
horses. former servant OF the con-
sui, prematurely bald, whose duty it
was to trim lamps, had habit of wiping
his petroleum. besmeared hands in his
scanty locks, and after three months OF
lamp trimming experience, his habit
procured for him much finer head OF
glossy black hair than he ever pos
sessed before. Struck by this remarka

remedy on two retriever spanicls that
had become suddenly bald, with wen

lr is now minated that the secret of
the firm front maintained by Turkey is
that the great Jewish inanciers have
resolved to help the Porto through re-.
sentiment at tho persecution of the Jews
in Roumania. This if true, is a strange
turn to affairs, but still it is not impos.
sible. At no time in its history has
Judaism been more powerful than it is
to day, ~ witness the cabinets and par.
liaments of Europe, and the literary

THE New Orleans Dcm0crat draws
vivid picture of the den occupied by
the rump legislature Of Louisiana ana
its allies: The old st. Louis Hotel,
when occupied and used as hotel, was
capable of accommodating from six to
seven hun dred people, To do this,
however, with due regard for health,
all the modern sanitary appliances
were used and st let attention paid to
the perfect cleanliness of the building
and premises. The building, now old
and delapidated, is occupied by up
wards of fifteen hundred men-mem-
bers of the bogus legislature, Metro
politan policemen, negroes and levee
rats. For days this multitude OF men
have been penned up in the
building feeding sleeping, cooking
and drinking within. The sanitary ar
rangements are now wretched, and no
measures have been taken to cleanse
the premises Garbage, filth and human
ofial have consequently accumulated to
II frightful extent and the stencil
throughout tho building is becoming
intolerable. Tho grossest part OF the
filth is occasionally shovelcd into boxes
and buckets and dumped into a few
rooms up and down stairs.
1t is not surprising that among the
class of men living, eating and sleeping
in the midst of all this filth and no1ious
air that the smallpox has broken out;
and we shall be surprised if it does not
play terrible havoc among the negroes,
a race peculiarly subject to the rayaseS
of this loathsome disease,

HENRY WArrERsoN seems to speak

what he said at the grand Democratic
demonstration at Washington City on

least of all in the national capital, when
the President of the United States, the
Secretary of War and the Secretary Of

mitted, i'll advance of an undetermined
Presidential election. to any fixed par
tisan policy, But when these organize
themselves into n corporation; when
they surround themselves with troops
when they use the power lodged with
them as supreme trust to secure dc
vices and pretexts for it's perpetuation,
and, thus equipped, when they boldly
proclaim their purpose and threaten all
friend and foe alike, who refuse to
aoquiesce, they justify the ascription of
conspiracy laid at their door, and
furnish cause for misgiving in the
brayest heart. | say misgiving, but not
fear. Civil liberty cannot be wrested
from the American people at all, either
with or without u fight. They are
patient and law-abiding; they will OK
haust the peaceful agencies placed by
God, nature and the Constitution Of
their country in thor hands
but they will not submit To
usirpation, and if it should become
necessary that they should have a
leader another jackson stands ready
to take his life in his hand and make
their cause his own. trust that no
such emergency will arise, but the way
to prevent it is to prepare for it, NV
