He has purchased the old Sun plant,
which he is having boxed for shipment,
and will publish a republican news
paper in Goldendale, just as sQpn as the
material can be put in shape for the
work. His foreman, Mr.. Murphy, with
several men, is at work packing the
type, and by Saturday night it ought to
be in its new home. Mr.. Gourlay is an
exceptionally strong writer, is well
equipped by education and experience
for the work before him, and will issue
a paper that will be credit to both
county and state.

Can Take the Depositions.

WASHINGTON, Sept. thereafter the
fOurth-class postmasters will have
another source of revenue to add to the
, many that now hold in the smaller set
Elements. He now can act as a notary
public for pensioners and witnesses in
pension cases only and can charge the
pensioner not exceeding % cents to each
voucher for which he affixes the seal of
his office. The new authority and emol-
uments OF the village postmaster sprang
from an act approved Aug. %, which
requires, empowers, and authorizes"
them to administer any and all oaths
required to be made by pensioners and
their witnesses in the execution of their
vouchers, with like effect and force as
officers having a seal, and such post
masters shall affix the stamp of his office
to his signature to such Vouchers
The law includes all manner of pen
sion cases in which an oath is required,
including vouchers for the regular quar-
terly payments. This authority to the
fourth-class postmasters does not mean
that notary, who has heretofore taken
pensioners dispositions, can do So no
longer; on the contrary, it is stipulated
expressly that they may do SO. The
law was passed at the instance of con-
gressmen representing country districts
which are but sparsely settled and is to
save travel on the part of pensioners.

The old Sun plant has been sold and
is being packed preparatory to shipment
to Goldendale. We looked in to the
familiar Office today, where seven years
ago we lifted our scissors against those
of the Fates and threw wit, pathos and
hard horse sense into its columns. We
confess to feeling of regret to see the
old type disappearing. They seem to us
to have some sort of claim on the COM
munity, relationship with it. What
record the faithful old type have kept
the births, the deaths, the weddings /;
record of joy, of sorrow, of regret. Well,
well, they are sold and going, and SO we
say good bye, but that their little faces
may fall in pleasant lines,'' and that
their power for good may be exerted to
the utmost, before, when worn with age,
and broken from too harsh contact with
the planer and the devil, they go the
way of all their kind to find abiding
place at last in the convenient hell-box,
is our most ardent wish.

We'll. it was in this way said the
commercial man, sitting down. Years
ago lone Indian walked across the
plains looking for game and trouble.
He shot a prairie chicken, built a fire
near the river and cooked his bird on

asked the traveller.
''It was" said the drummer.

Never mind about that. He cooked

traveller.

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 5. 1894
THE MINNESOTA FIRE.

The terrible fires in Minnesota con-
tinue to do incalculable damage to prop
erty, but it is hoped that no more lives
will be sacrificed. From latest accounts
the loss of life will be nearly 1000. The
heroic action of Telegraph Operator
Dunn, Engineer Root and the whole
crew of railroad men on the train at
Hinckley, saved the lives of not less
than 400. Dunn staid at his post until
the building was burning, and tele-
graphed for train to come and carry
the Inhabitants away. He was caught
by the flames when only twenty yards
from place of safety and burned with
his wife and children. The engineer
and firemen remained in the engine,
throwing water on each other to put out
the fire on their clothing, and finally
succeeded in running their train through
the burning forest, over burning bridges,
and into safety. That heroism is not
dead is abundantly proven by the acts
of these brave men, who, weighing their
lives in the scales with duty, found their
lives the lightest.
Rain is falling in the burned districts,
and it is hoped the end has about been
reached. Thousands of refugees are
gathered at Duluth and other points and
are being taken care of by the citizens
and the state. Contributions are pour
ing in from all sides, and the suffering
will be reduced to minimum

Commissioner shockley Explains.

To the Editor of The Herald and
News: III your issue of May 9, 1894, in
your correspondence from Prosperity,
it is stated that am "censured severe
ly" for not coming to see after the
burial Of a certain corpse. I have ouly
to say that the first knowledge Of the
suicide and inquest reached me through
the Coroner, after be had held the in
quest and returned to Newberry. He
told me that all that was expected Of
me was to furnish coffin, and negro
named Sheppard would see that the
corpse was buried. I started to tele-
graph Mr.. Sim Matthews to furnish q
cheap coffin for $3.50, when met Mr..
Bob Brannon, who was on his way to
Prosperity, aud asked him to take a
note to Mr.. Matthews, and directed the
Clerk to write note asking Mr.. Mat
thews to furnish coffin, and TO sign
my name, which be did.
1t was after o'clock, and after all
trains had gone down, when I received
Mr.. Hawkins telegram asking me TO
come down on the down train;
and, thinking that the coffin, only,
was needed, and having made neces.
sary arrangements for that to be
furnished, I never went to Prosperity
Mr.. Lindsay having assured me that
negro named Sheppard would do the
work.
The County Commissioners have
never in my knowledge directed the
Corouer not to take anything to dc
with such cases.
Very respectfully,

The Herald and News has no quarrel
with Mr.. Benz. Halfacre if his con-
science and his honor require him to
vote the Populist ticket. 1t is right
which an American citizen IS supposed
to enjoy to vote as he pleases. It is his
duty to vote ss his conscience and
honor dictate. But We do not see how
a man who votes the Populist ticket
can claim to be a Democrat. Mr.. Half
acre does not say whether be voted for
Weaver or Harrison or Cleveland, eiec-
tors. Our recollection is that be signed
the call issued by Mr.. J. W. Bowden
for q convention Of Weaverites. Our
conclusion was that he voted for Wea-
yer electors. That being the case we
presumed he was Third Partyite as
Mr.. Weaver was the candidate of that
party. That being the case we did not
see how he could consistently be mem-
ber of o Democratic executive commit
tee. A man cannot be Populist and a
Democrat both at the same time. They
are two distinct parties. That is all
there is of it.
