Nearly everyone hereabouts. says the

Wilson, 'fBob," who was formerly with
the Northern Pacific as a traveller, and

railroad men for securing stock ship
ments for the road he may be working
for. He knows as much about handling
| cattle or sheep as the average stockman.
because he himself has had years of ex-
perience on the range. He generally
gets the shipment after which he goes.
because he never makes promises he
cannot fulfill and patrons therefore
know they can rely on him. Recently
there was train load of livestock TO go
from The Dallee, and as shipments were
slack on all the roads, orders were issued
from all the railroad offices to the travel
ing agents to get that shipment. The
| 0. R. & N, of course, would haul it out,
but the question was which road would
| haul it at the eastern end and land it in
Chicago. Exactly fourteen representa-
tlyes of almost as many roads hurried to
The Dalles, and there was lively scrap
for the shiDment. It was a memorable
struggle inasmuch as all the railroad
men in the country were watching the
transaction. Bob Wilson was talking
Burlington this time. Well, the Bur
lington got the shipment. Not sur
prising statement, because Bob Wilson
usually gets what he goes after and hi
got that shipment.

''There are LOO voting precincts in

Death of Danlel Harrington.

News was received in town last even
ing of the death of Mr.. Daniel Earring
ton, which occurred at his farm, about
ten miles from town, yesterday at p.
m. Mr.. Harrington had not been in
good health for some time, but his death
was not considered imminent by mem
bers of the family. Yesterday morning
he did not arise and complained of not
feeling as well as usual. DIR. Eshelman
was sent for and did what ne could to
alleviate his sufferings. Towards even
ing he did not appear to be worse, and
few minutes before his death he sat
up in bed and partook of medicine.
Mr.. Harrington was well-known citi-
zen of Wasco county, and was respected
for his true worth and upright life. He
possessed the characteristic honesty and
rugged character which mark the sons
of New England.
Mr.. Harrington was born in Halden.
Maine, in 1928, and lived in that state
until 1851, when he came to CalIfornis
by way of Cape Horn. He remained
there till 1870, when he returned tc
Bangor, Maine, where he stayed till
1882. In that year he moved to Oregon
and settled on the land which was his
home during the remaining years.
He was CONSISTENT Christian, being
member of the Congregational church
of this city. He leaves wife and foul
grown sons-E. s. Harrington, an attor

Then and Now.
Louisville Courier.Iourl al.

Four years ago Mr.. Bryan said in a
speech "You must attribute it to the
inventive genius that has multiplied a
thousand times, in many instances, the
strength of single arm, and enabled US
to do today with one man what fifty
men could do fifty years ago. That is
what brought prices down in this coun-
try and everywhere"
Mr.. Bryan told the truth four years
ago, but he Gays now. it was the single
gold standard that put down prices.

HUW BAD MONEY TUFTS.

In 1860, when all the money in use
Tas as good rs gold, workman who
earned a dollar and half day could
buy az much food, fuel and clothing as
man or a woman or two children OF
10 or under could use up in day, for
less than one dollar. Ho then had half
a dollar left for other things.
In 1860 the money was bad, the
paper dollar was only worth about
fifty cents. That same man could then
only earn dollar and three quarters a
day in paper money, but ali that he
needed to live on cost twice as much,
when no had bought food, fuel and
clothing for himself and his family
there was little or nothing left.
In 1892 that same kind of a man
could earn two dollars and half a,
day in gold. He could then buy more
food, fuel and clothing for a dollar
than he could in 1860, so that he had a
dollar and half left.
The Silverites and the Popocrats
have now stopped his wages and are
trying to put up the prices of food,
fuel and clothing by forcing people
TO take bad money again which is only
worth fifty cents on dollar.

WHY THEY WERE AKRHsrEp.

A ! n

chicago lineh-tiernld. August 18th.
A good deal Of unnecessary sympathy
has been worked up for certain gentle.
men from Philadelphia who went over
to Dover, Del, to preach tho Single
Tax and were locked up for disorderly
conduct. The incident has heen al
luded to by newspapers, which mistake
every fence post for a Caesar or a Ma
poleon, as manifestation of tyranny,
and there has been some very lurid
writings on the subject.
1t is well to be fair even to State
which boasts stocks and the whipping
posts. The Single Takers were not on
pressed The town authorities offered
them the use Of the public square for
their meetings.
They insisted on haranguing crowds
in the streets, and their propaganda
became source of annoyapce and
loss to citizens who had business in
the thcroughfares So the ardent souls
were arrested and sent to Jail for yio-
latiOn of the ordinances.
The American people are induleent
of reformers and crank notions-some-
times too indulgent. They are always
disposed to give people who have new
ideas to express an opportunity TO be
heard. Rovolutionists enjoy more
privileges here than anywhere else Ia
the civilized world. But there is a
limit to endurance, and because a
man believes in the Single Tax there is
no reason why he should be permitted
to make blooming nuisance of him
self.
The Dover propagandists no doubt
were glad to Dose as martyrs. They
invited prosecution. But sensible men
and newspapers should not be deluded
not locked up as Single Takers, but al
disorderly characters. l

A LAWYERS IMPRESSION OF BRYAN.

The crowd was immense, SO was tho

side by side, were crowded far past the
