N. II. Downing, editor Of the Santa
Clara (Cal.) Journal, In his last issue,
says: We expected 10 see fair-sized
man when our cousin, j. II. Downing oi
Oregon, came down 10 see US, but we
were hardly prepared for one OF oregon's
heaviest. The scales groan under him
at 232 pounds and he has evidently not
stopped growing yet. We hope by Civ
ing him the strongest chair and placing
props under the family bed to avoid an
accident. Mr.. Downing 10 delighted
with this part Of the state and will
probably locate here should be be able
TO arrange his business to that end.
Friday morning Mrs. Lon Stevens at
tempted TO awake her husband and
found him TO be in an unconscious con-
.dition, evidently suffering from the
effects OF an overdose Of some powerful
opiate. DIR. Doane was called TO admin
ter TO the sufferer and found him In q
critical condition. DR.. Doane called DR..
Sutherland to his assistance, and
through their combined efforts Mr.
Stevens was restored TO consciousness.
Sometime during the night he had taken
an opiate, possibly with suicidal Intent,
and had not medical aid been promptly
summoned the result would have been
fatal. .---Dalles Chronicle.
Mr.. Dave spaulding. the energetic
young Scotchman who left here the 2Sth

wiie--a very pretty little lady, whose
maiden name was Miss Cathern Sophia
Eason. whom he married at her home
In Scotland on August goth. They pro-
ceeded out to their home on Trailfork
Wednesday. Mr.. spaulding will be
able to 20 into the stock and sheep busi-
iness on an extensive scale, as we un.

this section needs more than anything
else justnow--men with capital and ener.

large and appreciative audience at the
Armory ball in Condor last night and
will play again this Thursday evening
with an entire change Of program. Al
ter the performance Mr.. and Mrs. Hew
EFT will furnish free music for free bal
for all who attend the show. The Hew

and are much better than the average
shows that visit inland towns. Thei
sleight-of-hand performance and minC
reading Is excellent and very mystify
