EASTERN oREeoN,s CLIMATE.

1t Is Recommended as Cure for
Asthma.
The Eugene Guard says that D. Boiling,
an aged gentleman of that place, recently
tried to commit suicide because OF
bis Undesirable suffering from asthma.
We would like to say to MIR. Boiling, or
others similarly afflicted, that we believe
if he will move to the Colu nbia river
basin ANY where from The Dalles to
Pendleton or WALL Walla-that he will
coon find that the climate has cured him
There lie something in the atmosphere Of
that section that is extremely beneficial
to asthmatics. Many years ago we had
friend living at Eugene who was as
badly afflicted with asthma as Mr.. Boiling
is. Nothing would do him any good.
He went 10 California, but without bene.
fetal results. He gave up the struggle
and came back to Eugene TO die. Some
one induced him to try once more in
Eastern Oregon. He did 80 and was
cured. We met hin few years after
ward at The Dalles and he was as strong
and hearty man as we have ever seen.
He said the change was miraculous. The
climate OF the Grande Ronde valley is
good for people afflicted with asthma, but
not to such an extent, we think, as the
first spoken Of. Several Of our neighhors
here in Union formerly lived in the Will
lamette valley and were afflicted with
the asthma Here they are free from it.
They say that few weeks visit there
invariably brings on the complaint again
and they are compelled to return. We
write these lines because We feel that
they may be Of benefit to some suffering
fellow man. We do not wish, in doing
so, to disparage, in the lesst, that mag
nificent portion of our state-the William
ette valley. Great as 1t is in every re-
source that contributes to the comfort
and enjoyment of its people grand as it is
in the beauty OF its natural scenery, and
mildness Of its climate, it must be ad.

THE PkELlMINlAlIR|iIES. lI|i
National Committee of the
Peoples Party Meet.
AFEw MINOR CONTESTS.
A FEW MINOR CONTESTS.
Middle.of-the-Road Populists
Opposed to Fusion.

The preliminaries of the national con-
vention Of the peoples party, which
assembled, were inaugurated with a
meeting OF the national committee. The
members assembled shortly after noon
behind closed doors, with Hon. II. e.
Taubeneck presiding. The roll call
showed the presence Of nearly all the
members Of the committee. A
Before going into secret session Chair
man Taubeneck announced that there
were few minor contests, and that the
committee would complete the temporary
roll call and select temporary officers.
For himself, be said, he had no choice for
temporary chairman.
A couple of months since 1t looked as
though the political situation in this
presidential year would be becalmed.
McKinley's nomination was conceded /;
the democrats were at sea regarding
candidate, and the populists were in
about the same condition. But the signs
OF the times were wrongly interpreted,
and as result the present summer Wit
ne8see one OF the most extraordinary
political conditions In the history OF the
country. The forecast Of the republican
nominee has proven correct the demo-
cratic national convention, instead of
being at see regarding an available Candi-
date, was confronted with plethora of
them.
As to the matter OF candidates with the
silver men, the difference Of opinion is
about as great. Some OF the eilverites,
pure and simple believe that the most
diplomatic course is to indorse the NOM
inees OF the democratic national conven-
tion. Others, again, contend that by the
nomination of Senator Teller and q
southern silver man, the Gauge Of the
white metal would DO strengthened, and
a majority of the votes in the electoral
college assured So also the populists.
Some are instructed or favorable to
Bryan, others instructed or favorable to
Teller, while the majority are on the
fence. The leading powers of the
Knights OF Labor come out openly in
favor Of the distinguished statesman
from Colorado, while on the other hand
some OF the best minds In the populist
convention hold that only the indorse-
ment Of Bryan and Sewall would be good
politics. The fact that the American BIZ
metallic Union, under whose auspices the
silver convention is to be held, has come
out in proclamation characterizing the
Chicago ticket as splendid one, and
urging it's Endorsement and ratification,
still further complicates the 0ituation. 4

Delegates to the national silver organi-
zatien were late in assembling at the
Grand Music hall and there were not
enough spectators to fill the galleries
vixen j. j. Mott, chairman of the nation

which Miss Lille B. Pierce read the de-
claraton Of independence.
Congressman NewlandH OF Nevada,

WORK AT The 10 cKs.
AS Soon as The Water Goes Down

rs OOOH as tne WatST GOeS GoWn
Operations Will Commences
The 5000, 600 appropriated in the last
river and harbor bill for completing the
canal and locks at the cascades of the
Columbia river are now available, and
Mr.. Mcdonald, superintendent of stone
cutters under Day Bros., informed q
Dalles man who was visiting at the Locks
few days since, that work would be re-
sumed on the canal, be thought, about
August l, or as soon as the water had re-
ceded sufficiently so that the canal be-
tween the upper guard gate and the lock
gate can be drained Of water.
The engineers have determined TO con-
etruct walls of solid masonry between the
upper guard and lock gates, and it is esti:
mated that these walls can be completed
in two or three months. The construc-
of these walls will be under the super
vision Of Day Bros, on the basis OF their
former contract for similar work.
A force of from so to so men will be put
on the stone work within two weeks, and
the building Of the walls will be pushed
10 completion. Then the work Of rip
rapping the outer bank on the river side
will be commenced, and it is estimated
that six months will be required TO COM
plete the entire job.
Since the engineers department have
determined to construct the inner walls
Of masonry, there is no appeal from their
decision, and as this work will require
from two TO three months, there is not a
very hopeful prospect Of the locks being
opened to traffic In time to move this
seasons crop OF wheat.

GOLD FROM WATER.
The Process to Be Thoroughly Tested
in Baker County.

w RHNGE 0OtUtls
John Wheeler, formerly court reporter
for the sixth judicial district, has just
returned from the East, and brought with
him knowledge of new process which
promises to line his own pockets and to
add considerable to Baker county's natur-
al wealth, providing the water which
comes from the mines containes gold in
solution. II is absolutely known that
there are two mines in this district, the
waters of which carry gold in suspension
or solution. These are the famous Bon
anza and Eureka & Excelsior mines.
The modus operandi Of the process Is as
follows:
A filter OF charcoal is charged with pre-
cipitating acids and sulphuret OF iron,
which is also precipitant, and when the
gold held in suspension or solution c1mes
in contact with any OF these agents, 1t 10
Immediately thrown into it's metallic state
and 10 collected and retained by the char
coal. The filters are charged at merely
nominal cost, and whom ready for use need
practically no attention, one man being
able to take care OF several hundred 1t
necessary. When the filters have col
lected all the gold the charcoal is suscep-
tible of retaining, the contents are re-
duced TO an ash, and tho sulphuret Of iron,
which has not been exhausted in the
process Of filtering, is then extracted with
magnet or driven away in fumes when
the charcoal is being reduced, and when
thisi Ia done there is left q free milling ash.
Whether the water contains gold in solu-
tion or not can be easily and readily as
certained by taking two or three gallons
OF the water and evaporating it down to
about pint, and then adding saturated
solution Of copperas, or introducing into
the water chlorine gas. II the water
contains gold the chlorine gas will discol-
or and turn the water black, and the sat-
urated solution Of copperas will also dis
color and turn the water dark, and cause
a brown precipitate to fall. The water
in sections of the country where the ore
contains sulphurets 10 more apt to carry
gold in solution than the water in those
sections where the ore is free milling.
II it Is fact that the waters OF mines
contain gold, an expenditure of not to ex-
ceed s. will In the least calculation, col
lect and gave $500 worth OF gold. IL Ia
argued that all gold at some time Or
other has been In a liquid state, and By
coming In contact with iron or other pre-
cipitating metals, it was thrown info Its
metallic state, aud this proaeso sirnply
forestalls nature.

A PendIeton Paper's Solid Advice to
the Public.


With no desire to interfere With the
business OF honest, we'll meaning people.
the East 0regonian wishes TO warn tho
public against signing any notes, agree
menta or papers of any kind uniil they
are positive the contents are fully under
stood. We also offer as q friendly piece
of advice tho suggestion that when our
readers want carpets, stoves or anything
OF that sort, they buy 1t from our own
merchants whom they know rather than
from itinerant carpet baggers who. nine
times out OF ten, are humbugs. Don't be
persuaded to buy something that You do
not want by fakir who can talk smooth
and make people think black ia white.
People cannot travel around over country
and sell articles as heavy and bulky as
cook stoves, pay their travelling expenses
and make profit and do better by Gus
toners than our home merchants
Don't allow yourself TO believe any such
stuff. If you bite you are going to be
taken in sure.
The following communication has been
handed in. The warning is timely and
should be needed:
Mr.. Editor :-A word Of warning may
not come amiss just now. Last year,
there were q number OF men who went
all over the Webfoot country, from house
to house, selling the "Home Comfort
steel range. The stove was all right,
though very dear, bat people bought,
agreeing to pay much more than they
were worth because they were to have
! five years in which to pay for them and
the company was to keep this stoves in
repair for IL years. Many stoves we're
sold in my neighborhood, not one Of
which would have been bought for cash.
To the surprise of the purchasers, q
man, not the one who sold the stoves,
came around with the notes in 80 days.
demanding payment. The people plead
ed the contract, it was useless all OF the
notes plainly read 80 days from date.
The company truthfully claims that 1t
was not bound by verbal promises OF the
agent, as against plain written contract.
A large lot OF these stoves are now in
Pendleton and presume the agents will
soon be around trying to sell them.
These agents may be en- the square, but
the people will do we'll to read carefully
every word OF every document before
they sign it. l. IL. Ike.

st. Louis, July 23.--The weather is
clear and pleasant, and the delegates
were slow in gathering OF the convention
hall this morning.
Both Bryan and anti Bryan men are
claiming majority OF the delegates, and
there will probably be test vote on the
report Of the committee on credentials.
Butler called the convention to order at
1908 a. m. The committee on credens
tials were not ready to report, and the
roll was called for the appointment oi
committees on permanent organization,
rules and platform.
The credentials committee will not be
ready to report until o'clock, and the
convention took recess until that time.
After the announcement OF the COM
mittee on permanent organisation the
members retired. A squad Of middle-of
the readers, headed by Delegate Branch
OF Georgia suddenly plunged into the
hall through the main entrance, whoop'
ing down the center aisle. Branch bore
aloft big white banner with the in
scriptions, "Middle-of the-road," "a

Texas, Georgia, Maine, Missouri and

chairs and yelled at the top Of theil
voices. At the same time middle.of-the

green tickets contained the following:
