The souvenir Half.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Representa-
tive Durborow called on Saturday, at
the treasury department and had long
talk with Secretary Foster with regard
to the nlnting of the souvenir half dol
lars for the worlds fair. Secretary Fos-
ter said that he would willingly lend any
aid in his power to the proposition to
make use of the mutilated coin now in
the treasury for the purpose of these
special pieces. Altogether there is
about $I4 .0O0, 900 of this mutilated coin,
but about half of this is in dollars or
quarters and dimes. The $1,000, 900
worth of half dollars is what will be
probably used for the purpose. This
money while not actually an asset is
carried as such on the books of the
treasury, and.to make use of it in the
way indicated will make of it an availa-
bic asset, while it is unavailable at
present.

WIN Fire the straw.

Fossil Journal. The dry, hot weather,
which had seriously damaged the wheat
on Shutter Flat two weeks ago, has de-
stroyed. it almost entirely now, and
farmers are getting ready TO fire the
straw and commence plowing for sum-
mer fallow. They are much discouraged
and cruelty disappointed, as the crop
looked better q month ago than ever be-
fore at the same season. In this end of
the county, though badly scorched in
places, good rain would yet insure a
fair crop. Unless we have rain within
week, there viii not be enough grain
left in the country to make seed.

in Determining Similar Contests
Elsewhere.

CHICAGO, June 20.-It would have
been unfortunate, for many reasons, if
the purpose of the late John Crerar to
endow great public library in Chicago
had been set aside through technical
flaws in the bequest. Thus far the courts
have sustained the will. Judge Gary of
the Appellate court has confirmed the
famous ruling of Judge Tuley, and the
contestants of the Crerar will have no
standing in court 1t is unlikely that
any further contest will be made. and
the executors are free to set about
the fulfillment of the trust. 1t is not
alone because Chicago is the beneficiary
of Mr.. Crerar,s hequest that public opin-
ion rejoices over the finding of the
courts. The professional wilI-breaker
has received check, and these Illinois
decisions may prove of value in deter
mining similar contests elsewhere. Just
as the breaking of the Tilden will in New
i York was demoralizing, the sustaining
of the Crerar will in Illinois will inspire
| future benefactors of like character
There was a marked similarity in the
contests in these two cases, but the Tilden
will was made invalid by a pecularity OF
New York laws that does not obtain in
this state. The execution of the Crerar
trust will give to this city another splen-
did library. 1t is matter for congratu-
Z, lation that there will be no diversion of
the magnificent bequest from the object
contemplated by the giver.

the bringing of sheepinto Montana from
Oregon, Nevada, California, Washing

was made on a showing made by yeter-

from the states named were infected
with scab. From 1900 to 5000 sheep
from outside points are held by Hollo-

CHICAGO MOSAIC.
Every Candidate Confident OF Success
This Week.

CHICAGO, June 20.-The uncertainty
of Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana, is a
grand factor in the hopes of candidates
now. Should these three states cast
their ballots for stfavorite SON" the
possibilities of Cleyelands nomination
would beremote from what it is. The
leaders are John NJ. Palmer for Illinois,
Henry Watterson for Kentucky, and
Senator Voothees for Indiana, strong
team, it must be admitted Illinois is
for Palmer, Kentucky for Carlisle, and
Indiana for Gray. Delegates are prac-
tically free, in those three states, and,
acting as they please, have held con-
ference, but it is not known outside Just
how they will cast their 104 votes.
Tammany has let go enough to estab-
lish the belief that the empire state will
go for Harrison if Cleveland is nomi-
mated. In short, the harmony expected
between the Syracuse and Tammany
factions may never be realized If Tam
many fails in securing it's nominee, it's
whole strength will be thrown against
the nominee of the convention. They
mean rule or ruin. These threats do
not terrorize the Cleveland contingent,
who look to the Michigan Gerrymander,
and to the prospects in Kansas, with
confidence that "Cleveland can. be
elected without Tammany''
But with all these reasonable tn eories,
Senator Patterson, of Colorado, saws
Cleveland would not only lose New
York, but almost certainly several
southern states, owing to the alliances
deep feeling on the coinage question,
and by such loss the democracy would
surely lose.
Ifpeople continue fiocking into Chicago
for the next few days as they have the
past week, it will seem less accurate to
speak of the democratic convention
present at Chicago than of Chicago pre-

It is worth while for temperance ad-
vocates to take notice that in Chicago
the price of beer, such as it is. and pure
water, are now very nearly the same.
Water that is said to be pure, bearing,
generally, some high-sounding name,
costs ten cents a gallon in ten-gallon
lots. Beer is obtainable by the keg at
the rate of 81 barrel of thirty-six gall
Ions. This makes it cost about eleven
cents gallon. That pure water should
get beyond the financial reach of many
while beer should slip down until it be-

unfortunate. 1t operates against all the
work of temperance organizations,
Kelley Institutes and SO forth, and fur

drinking habit.

KINGSLEY LETTER.
Good Crop Prospects---A Sick Rooster.
Minor Topics.

KINGSLEY, June 1S.-Since election is
thing of the past everyone around
Kingsley has settled down to work, and
to consider the part they had played in
the game. Some of the herepublicans that
helped to defeat part of the state and
county ticket, are disgusted with the
growing OF that sicklY looking rooster
that appeared in the Wasco Sun. Judg-
ing from appearance he was looking for
hole to hide in and we certainly would
advise him to do so for on the first part
of November the grand old party rooster
will crow so loud that he can be heard
from Maine to Washington, with a hip
hip hurrah for Harrison.
Frosty nights are over and the grain
is growing in good shape. believe the
frost injured the grain more than the
hot weather; for we have had no real
hot weather and there is considerable
moisture in, the ground yet, and my
opinion is that we will have plenty of
grain on Tygh Ridge this fall.
The inhabitants of Kingsley were
startled last Wednesday morning by the
statement made by John Roth that some
one had stolen horse and saddle from
his barn the night before, there he
learned that a party with band of
horses had camped at Kingsley the night
before, on their way across the noun
tains. So brave John started off alone
to capture the whole band of horse
thieves and recover his stolen horse and
saddle, but to his surprise when he
caught up with them be found neither
horse nor saddle, SO he turned back dis
gusted and on arriving home found his
horse and saddle in the barn where he
had overlooked them in the morning.
The farmers alliance are about to
build a new hall at Kingsley. / do not
known the size of the building, but
judging from the pile of lumber on the
ground, it is to be a large one. a..

LONDON, Nov. 5.-The lockout of cot

of what may prove to be one OF the greatest

throw their weight on the side OF the Oldham
and Staly Bridge masters. Hence. although
the owners of only 1900 splndles actually
voted their determination TO insist on the

members of the Federation are concerned

CARLISLE IN BOSTON.
An Immoase Gathering of Democrats In
FanieuI Hall.

BOSTON, MASS, Nov. 5.-Despite
driving snow storm, there was an inn
mense gathering in Fanieul Hall this af-
ternoon at the Democratic business mems
meeting Henry l.. Pierce presided, ana
made the opening address, the other
speakers being Hon. John G Carlisle OF
Kentucky, and Hon. G.. +. Williams.
Upon the platform with the speakers was
an influential array Of well-known Bos-
tonians, and the gathering generally was
distinctiyely a collection of business men.
All of the speakers were heartily ap-
plauded. and each was the recipient OF
a most hattering ovation.
F,x-Speaker Carlisle was intro 1uced at
2 o'clock, but it was some minutes later
before the applause had subsided sufii-
ciently to enable him to make himself
heard. He said that the one remaining
question of this campaign is whether
the election can be bOught-whether the
American people can be bribed with their
own money, wrung from them by an un-
lust system Of taxation. (Cries OF
"Good')
our forefathers rebelled chiefly because
Of a tax which they considered unjust
a tax on imported tea. 1t has been re-
served for the Republican party TO be-
stow upon the President a power which
King George never possessed, nor tried
10 exercise-the power to tax at his dis
erection imported tea and coffee and sugar
and hides. The mere statement OF the
question is enough TO show that the ac-
ton Of Congress has been unconstitu-
tional.
Mr.. Carlisle continued at some length
TO urge the unconstitutionality OF the
Mckinley bill
