ELKTON NOTES.

Farmers are most all done seeding.
Miss Ella Kent has come home to attend
the spring term of school.
Old Father Haines talks of going east to

trict begun this week.
The following named gentlemen OF this
precinct were elected delegates to the County
Republican Convention: Levi Knott, Henry

Jas: Burnett.
The deputy assessor tried 10 assess one o
our coyotes the other day but Mr.. C. was
more intent on taking some turkey just then
and preferred to wait until next year to pay
his poll tax:
In regard to the mail route between this
point and Oakland being curtailed so as no
to reach this place after the first of July next
we would say that it must necessarily prove a
very serious delay in our mail facilities. Oul
county papers will be delayed at least tive
days which in its self will be great annoy
ance. The Echo makes a good suggestion ii
regard to the matter. Who will act.

A Hord To HorEers.

If your avocations are mentally OIL physically
laborious, if they subject you to exposure in
inclement weather, if they con6nc you to the
desk, and are Of nature TO involve wear and
tear the brain, and nervous strain, you may
occasionally require some rcnovating tonic.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the article for
you ii stimulates the failing energies, invigorates
the body and cheers the mind. ItenabIes the
system to throw of the debhitating effects of
undue fatigue, gives renewed vigof to the or
gans of digestion, arouses the liver when in
active, which it very often IS with people
whose pursuits are sedentary, rcnews the
jaded appetite, and encourages healthful re.
pose. Its ingredients are safe, and its crcden-
tials; which consist in the hearty endorsement
of persons Of every class Of society, are most
convincing. Admirably is it adapted 10 the
medical wants Of workers.

q he Wreck of the Beda.

The steam schooner, Beda, was wrecked
near here short time ago. AS near as we can
learn the following arc the facts. The schooner
loaded with railroad iron and lumber left Port
land about the 18th, and on the 18th, when
about forty miles out from the mouth of the
Umpqua, she sprung leak, about O'Clock
in the afternoon. Something was the snattel
with the pumps so they could not be used, and
OF course she soon began TO sink. There were
thirteen on board, and taking two small boats
seven persons got in one and six in the other
the former boat struck on part ofthe wreck o
the Tacoma and was upset, drowning severa
OF the men. Two of the remainder reached
Gardiner alive while one that was drowned
washed ashore and his remains were inferred
IN the Gardiner cemetery.
The other boat, at last accounts had not beer
heard from, although two tugs were out hunting
three days for it. The Beda was wrecked a
the same place where the Tacoma shared sucl
a sad fate three years ago, and one of the sur
VlVoTs was on both vessels ZEPHYR.

THE DRAFT HORSES OF FRAscE.-While some peo
pie in America call all horses imported from France
Norman it is fact that there is no breed in France
called by that name by the French people, the name
Norman, therefore, is purely merican. The prin-
cipal breeds OF France known as Percherons and
Bnullanris. The Pcrcherons are the most highly
prizcd OF all French races, and all departments of
France go to the Perche for stations to improve
their local breeds The Percheron Stud book of
France published under the authority of the French
Government, Is the only stud book Of draft horses
that is or ever has been published in France, and
now contains the pedigrees of about 8 900 animals
But some importers are Offering certificates from
France OF Norman draft horses that may miscad peo-
pie who do not understand the French language to
believe these records Of origin Not one Of them
issued contains pedigree. They arc furnished at
the request Cf American buyers by the secretary of
one OF the French gricultural societies who says
there is no intention Of publishing them IN stud book
form as they have no pedigrces and are of no value
whatever. 1t is a well known fact that what man
gives for horse over from $500 $5O0the price of
good grade-is paid fer purity of Blood aud where
the seller is not able 10 give the recorded pedigre
OF the animal sold evidence Of additional value
he has no right TO ask it. With these facts before
him, no intelligent man will buy horse imported
from France unless he is recorded with his pedigree
in full In the Percheron Stud Book of France

STRUCK IT RICH.-The following from a
Seattle paper will be of interest to the many
friends Of Mr.. Legerwood in this county: ''W.
E. Legerwood, agent for Wells Fargo & Co.
in Seattle is interested with his two brothers
in large ranch in the Colville country, on the
Columbia river. Two OF the brothers are on
the ranch, and recently they discovered quartz
ledge on their place. At first they payed but
little attention to it, but aiterward they con
cluded to send quantity of the rock to Port
land to be assayed, the result of which showed
the ledge TO be very rich. The returns of the
asSayer showed the rock to contain $I465 golt
per ton. Shortly after this they were Offered
$4,000 for the claim, but they don't propose
to dispose of ii at any such figures. Legcr
wood is TO be congratulated upon his good for
tune" The above sketch refers to the sons Of
Thomas Ledgerwool we'll known in Douglas
and who was at one time one of its most prom
incnt citizens. Now boys we will have TO ''take
up collection" or you can subscribe for THE
REVIEW, either. Let us hear from you.

LEXICOGRAPHY.
Questions 1isked by Correspondent.

Questions asked bv a Correspondent.
EDITOR REVIEW: desire the privilege
Of asking two questions which wish you to
answer il you see fit.
First.-How was Webster's dictionary made,
was it his work alone or did he get assistancea
Answer.-Webste' s dictionary Of 1928 de.
fined between seventy and eighty thousand
words Most all the work was done by him
personally in limit of thirty-hve years. He
was too poor toemploy an amanuensisregularly;
and when his health was infeebled, work may
have been done on the book by others, but it
passed under his careful scrutiny ere 1t reached
the printer. Since then the dictionary has been
illustrated and repeatedly revised until now
there are II4,oo words defined in it. This
work has been accomplished by about fifty
noted authors, among whom are William G.
Webster, ]. B. Dana, Noah Porter, Rev.
Chauncey Goodrich and William D. Whitney.
Most all the writers of Webster's dictionary
have been at some time connected with Yale
college.
Second question. did Noah Webster
become authority on English language; the
spelling Of words and defining them1
Answer.-Noah Websters peer as a dcfnel
has, in our estimation, yet to be born. Hi:
greatness as philologist, lies principally ir
his ability to contract and condense definition:
into as few general heads or numbered divis-
ions as practicable in his era. In this he gained
noticeable precedence over every other writer ii
that line but more especially johnson who had
for many years ranked the highest. Johnson:
verbosetical powers knew no limits, and hi
definitions copious with long words were no
easily retained in the minds Of the learner. Mr.
Webster at once saw that Mr.. Johnson's mos
forcible ideas were clothed in the shortes
words. Accordingly he ayailed himself OF th'
opportunity that the occasion offered him ant
used the fewest possible long words and thos'
only the most expressive to decorate his ETY.
mological structure, as would superior archi
tect place to the best advantage along beau
tifuI wall of a grand temple highly polished
golden nails upon which to hang the mos
precious trophies. Webster virtually intro
duced giving the primitive meaning of word
in dictionaries. Webster's next strong compe
| titor was Worcester. Worcester pronounced
the language as the author found it; Webste
as it should be pronounced. While Worcestc
is the authority in pronunciation in England
many even there purchase Webster's diction
ary for its clear and concise definitions. A
it is considered best by high scholars that W
have an American dictionary of the Englisl
language there is no doubt that, in the cours
of half century, Webster's dictionary will b
adopted by every college in the United State
of America. It is exclusively used in the pub
lie schools of Oregon, and has at the presen
time somewhat larger sale in America tha
any other dictionary.

PROHIBITION CONTENTION.
a Har,ro,,io,,s Sessien.

We hereby take pleasure in stating the fact,
after watchful interest in the entire proceed
ings OF the convention, that taking it all in all
it as heretofore outlined in THE REVIEW, has
done the wise thing Of not putting the third
party in the field. and manifested discretion
that bespoke determination to only antag
onize the rum traffic, and no disclosure was
developed that smacked OF sinister, or ulterior
Democrat can do otherwise than to recognize
the growing sentiment in society which calls for
change Of government in this particular and
obnoxious business: Therefore let every Dem
ocrat see to it that no man gets on the ticket
for the sufrages Of the people next June, that
does not favor state, county or national law if
necessary to speak it into oblivion. This is
nothing more than that the majority shall rule,
and while it IS clear that majority OF our
citizens are now deeply impressed with this
prevailing sentiment, we should lead in this
matter as has been done so successfully in the
south through the Democratic party where it
has freed and is freeing millions instead of
thousands. Now fellow Democrats look to
the best interests of your country and show
yourselves worthy Of the confidence reposed
in you, by promoting you to the highest posi-
tons within the gift Of free and independent
people.

ADVICE To CANDIDATEs.-Now don't get
excited; keep cool, quiet, collected, peaceable,
serene. It's long time yet till "the conven-
tion," says the ''East oregonian." And if
you are not nominated after all, it will be the
best days work you didn't do. AT least half
the candidates who are nominated are ready TO
kick themselves over ten-acre lot the day
after election; and about two-thirds of those
who are elected are admitting before the term
of office is out that they made measly fools OF
themselves. Personally considered, the whole
list of positions, to man with something to
do, and who knows how to do it, is not worth
losing nights sleep over Times.
