ding, Cal.
The wagon road from Myrtle Point to
the Salmon mountain mines has been
completed as far as Deer Park, distance
Of 80 miles, and will coon be completed
the remainder of the distance.
An effort with much promise of success
is being made to reorganize the Coast
Carriage & Wagon Co., at Corvallis, and
get the factory to work again I. M.
Jenkins, a capitalist, of Moline, H., is in
Corvallis, looking into the matter.
Frank Grubbs had his thigh bone
broken at Corvallis Thursday afternoon,
by being run over by a wagon heavily
loaded with wheat. The horses were
running away, and in his effort to stop
them he fell from the vehicle, and in
front of the wheels.
The capacity of the Monroe Touring
mill is TO be increased to 70 barrels per
day. Work on the mill and elevator be-
gins today. The building will be 40x90
feet, 55 feet high. The foundation of the
rival mill at Vaudeville has already been
laid.
A revolver was accidently discharged
in the saloon at Beaver Hill Thursday
evening, and the bullet struck colored
man named Ed. Taylor lin the breast,
penetrating his lungs and passing out
through his back. At last accounts, the
injured man was improving, and 1t is
thought that he will recover.
The rightof-way for the new ditch of
the Little Klamath Water Ditch Co. has

The Beer Feet.

The very popular theory has been ad-
vanced OF late that all women who par
take to any extent of malt liquors have
urge feet. The women of England,
Germany and Holland are quoted as
examples Of big-footed beer-drinkers;
while the women OF wine drinking
countries, like Spain, France and Italy
are said to have small and shapely feet.
This ingenious theory may have origin
ated in Kelley cure for women, where
Trilbylike extremities were guaranteed
TO temperance ladies', and Cinderella feet
to total abstainers Atany rate. whether
drinking affects the size of them or not,
everyone has observed that jag settles
in drunkard's feet. Apparently it pro-
duces a misunderstanding, SO that one
foot does not know what the other foot is
doing or where it is going, and unfortu-
nate consequences result. Anything
that makes for temperance is good, and
the theory Of drink making big feet may
be powerful weapon in the hands of the
pr0hibitionists.

England Paving Her Debt.

The revenue surplus OF Great Britain
and the prospect that some of it will be
devoted to payment of the national debt
causes great discomfort among fund
holders, who prefer consols at premium
which reduces the rate of interest below
21a per cent, to any other investment in
sight, This preference and the rapid rise
of consols give new proof of the enormous
and increasing amount of idle money in
Great Britain, and, for that matter,
throughout Europe. The rapidly grow
Ing mass of savings throughout the old
werld is already SO great that the pay
ment of debt by such government as
that OF Great Britain or the refunding of
debt by such government as that OF
France is an operation that awakens SO
much discomfort that grave political re-
suits are involved. The notion that it is
the duty of the government to borrow
money and pay interest to afford safe
investment to its subjects was not put
into plain words, but 1t seems to under
lie good deal of the discussion of the
subject.

A TALE OF HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
The Pistol Carrying Habit Demoralize'
the Worthiest of Citizens,

The PiStol carrying ftapit DemoraizeS
the Worthiest of Citizens.
This story is told Of Mr.. Burton, a
Chicago man:
Mr.. Burton was aroused shortly after
midnight, by his wife, who said that
little Freddie was coughing just as
though he had the Group, and Tor him
(Mr. Burton1 to go and bring the doctor.
Thereupon, Mr. Burton aroused himself,
and assisted by. his wife, got into his
clothes. AS his wife was helping him
on with his oyercoat she asked him,
Thomas, have you your revolverP"
mo, had better take II ?"
81 should think so. It's late and the
streets are fearfully dark"
She handed him the weapon, which he
cautiously slipped into the side pocket OF
his overcoat, where he could keep his
hand on it.
1t was indeed, a very dark night. He
could scarcely discern the shape of trees,
fences and houses.
AS he turned the corner he ran heavily
against another man. They collided
fully, and then Mr.. Burton jumped
backward with bis heart in his throat.
Excuse me" said the man ia the
darkness, and he passed on.
Burton took frmer hold on his
weapon. Then he hoppened to think Of
something. He felt for his watch. 1t
was gone. The fellow had bumped into
him so as to slip the watch from his
pocket.
Burton drew his revolver and ran after
the robbsr, who began to run.
Stop, or I'll shootl' shouted Burton.
The man stopped and leaned against q
fence.
Now" said Burton, with the revol.
yer advanced, "You give mo that
watch !"
The robber handed it over.
NOW you skipW
The fellow ran.
When Burton reached home he WAS
pale and excited. but quite exultant
"A footpad ran into me and grabbed
my watch" said he, "but drew my
gun and made him give it back "
"Why, Thomas" exclsimed his dis
mayed wife, 81 took the watch out Of
your vest pocket before you started"
The doctor came in half hour later:
He was agitated, and he explained
that he had been called away on an
urgent case at the time when Mr.. Burton
called at his house.
"Aud right at this next corner" he
added. "I was held up by the most
villsinous looking highway man you ever
saw, and robbed of my watch"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition Of the mucous liningof the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbing sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entire
ly closed, deafness is the result, Eand
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an Ginf1sm-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
auy case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

CROPS AND WEATHER.
For the Week Ending Monday,
June 22,

June %.
Thunder storm conditions prevailed
over the southern portion on the 18th
and 2lst which in sections gave rain on
the 18th only a few sprinkles occurred,
while on the 2lst good showers fell ex-
cept there no rain fell during the past
week. The weather for the most part
has been clear and warm. The temper
ature for the week averaged 81 degrees
and the cold of nights So degrees. The
highest was 90 degrees on the 21st.
East and eouth OF the Blue mountains
the temperature averaged ga degrees and
the cold of night 40 degrees. These
temperatures are from to ten degrees
higher than during the week preceding,
and are about normal for this season Of
the year.
The warm weather has been generally
beneficial. Morrow county correspond
ents report two days of hot winds the
past week which have been injurious to
the wheat crop. With this exception the
weather is reported as favorable. The
most glowing reports as TO the wheat
crop comes from Umatilla county. The
wheat cropis reported to be excellent in
all counties except Morrow, and in this
county there has been no really injurious
weather so far. Haying continues. The
first crop of alfalfa has been cut and
wheat hay will coon bs cut. Barley, rye,
oats and corn have been most favorably
affected by the weather. As rule the
weather in June determines the cereal
crop of Eastern Oregon, but as the season
is some two weeks late this year, the
weather up to July 10 will affect the
crops 30 far however, good weather con-
ditions have generally prevailed.
The reports this week indicate that
much fruit is dropping. The injurious
effects OF the cold rains are now being
shown. Peaches, apricots and prunes
are falling 10 large quantities. Apples
and pears are falling to come extent, and
1t must be now acknowledged that the
fruit has been injured by the April and
May weather. The extef.t of the injury
is not now known, but the correspondents
agree that it will be considerable. Large
shipments of strawberries continue TO be
made. The weather has apparently not
been detrimental to the berries, for The
reports indicate that large crops are in
sight. Cherries are ripening rapidly,
and large shipments are being made. A

The Locks Nav Be Lost

The safety Of the locks at the Cascades is
now threatened with each added inch of
high water. If fit gets much above the
40 feet stage, which seems an assured
fact, the damage is sure to aggregate many
thousands of dollars, and the whole work
may be ruined irreparably. The loss of
the locks cannot be attributed to lack
of vigilance on the part of citizens or
press of Eastern Oregon. The threaten
ed danger was brought to the attention
of congress several months ago, when
there was yet time to have prevented il.
Congress was in session, but no measure
Ct precaution was taken. 1t may take
some such catastrophy as the loss Of the
locks to awaken the people to sense
OF their rights and how best to enforce
them.-The Dalles Chronicle.

take liver remedy. 1t is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in

That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
