his leg against a stump, tearing the flesh OF

small hoy was present and wrapped the
wound as best he could and went for assist

before assistance arrived, which was but a
short time, the unfortunate man was too

broken next year, all the available land in
the belt will be in cultivation. And when
this great stretch of magnificent wheat land
is titled as thoroughly as is the land in the

be one of the best farming counties of the
coast, and her farmers will be prosperous,
for if they live now with only small por-
ton of their land Indifferently cultivated, it
stands to reason they will be infinitely
better off when every foot of their farms is

Along last fall he developed passion for
gambling, and it is reported went to The
Dalles, lost his money, and returned to PEN

then that temptation fell in his way in the
shape of an Indian mummy-a curiosity

In an Indian graveyard near Umatilla and
presented to DR.. Smith of that city. One
day this mummy turned up missing. De-
Let's wentto Portland, and 1t was learned
that he was negotiating for the sale Of the

everyone was against him. He did not feel
well and would go back to his room and lie
down. He looked troubled and there were
traces of tears in his eyes. A few minutes
later Ike was found lying on his bed in an

An Appeal For Blaine.

CHICAGO, April 23.-The Blaine club
day commenced the circulation, in
printed form, OF set of resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted by the
club, reciting that while Blaine had de-
clared he was not candidate for the
presidency, nevertheless tine people have
rights paramount to the individual, and
that the Office should seek the man
therefore it becomes the duty of the in,
dividual to ignore personal desires and
bow to the will of the majority. Blaine
is cx!olled as the "Greatest American" !"
and ''therc exists widespread and uni
versal desire that the standard bearer shall
be the hero of reciprocity" In conclusion,
the Chicago Blame Club urges upon
similar clubs throughout the country, and
upon the citizens who sympathize with
the movement, vigorous and com bined
effort, which will result in the nomination
of Blaine, trusting to bis loyalty to the
party which honored him in the past, to
his regard for the wishes of his faithful
friends, and to his sense Of duty to bis
country to accept the nomination.

Harrison, Then Reid.

NEW YORK, April 90. The Recorder
will say to- morrow, in an elaborate
article, that Whltelaw Reid has come
from France not to secure the Republican
nomination for vice president, but to as
sumo command of the Republican forces
of the empire state, to supplaut Thomas
c. Platt, whose days as leader are
numbered. The statement is made that
Mr.. Reid does no. desire to be vice presi
dent, as be has bigher aspirations. Be-
fore bis time comes for the highest po-
litical honor, long programme is to be
carried out. 1t is essential to the de
velopment of this programme that the
Republican party should be continued in
power for another four years, and Mr..
Reid, while waiting his turn as presi-
Dental candidate, will become the minis.
ter to England. The Recorders article
says that Mr.. Reds duty at present is to
unite the Republican factions 10 New
York. 1t is believed that be will be ac-
ceptable as leader. and can make a
smooth path for Harrison's renomlnation
and campaign.

Hood River Glacier: Surveyors have been
at work for some time running the prelim-
mary surveys for an irrigating ditch to be
taken from the east side of Hood river, to
run down the east side with one branch and
to cross over the main river and supply the
west side with another. The estimates of
costs of construction are not yet available,
but we understand that the outlook is ia
vorable for the work being done. No one
yet understands the benefit it will be to
have these bitches completed and water in
abundance furnished, because no one here
has iyed In an Irrigating or irrigated coun-
try. We predict that when water is avail
able lands will be quadrupled in valne and
that Hood river valley will be one immense
orchard. We freely admit that fine stand
ard orchard fruits can be grown on most of
our soil without irrigation, but the farmer
needs water to raise grass, vegetables and
small fruits to support himself and his fam.
lily, while his orchards are growing. The
bitches will permit this, and the fruit indus
try will receive an impetus that will aston
ish all of US. The waiting has been long,
and the end is not yet, but for the patient
citizen whose faith in Hood River cannot be
shaken there is IN the near future an ade-
quate reward.

$4,000, 900 in other presents. The

grimage shall take place next September,

of paying homage to his holiness. The
principal fete is fixed for February 10,
1898.
