Washington, Sept. 15.--Senator Jones,
chairman Of the democratic committee,
will leave for Chicago tonight. When
aked for an opinion Of the result OF the
Maine election, be said: when we
consider that before the democratic
national convention was held the demo-
Gratis OF Maine nominated gold ticket
on gold platform and subsequently, met
and revoked that action, declaring for
silver, and that this was followed soon
by an election at which the party cast ..
600 votes more than it did two years ago,
[ thiak it showed marvellous gain of
silver. Instead, therefore, feel greatly
encouraged. 1t must be remembered
that Maine is in the extreme east where
We never hoped for any but the most
meager results from silver. The result
ought to add TO the hopes Of our iriends

HE owns THE TOWN.
Joseph schIat Takes the Greater Part

Joseph Schlat Takes the Greater Part
of Palouse City.
Title to l60 acres Of land on which the
western half Of Palouse City stands, was
finally awarded to Jacob Schlat, who is
making his final proof before the local
land Office today. :
This tract of land includes the site OF
the Northern Pacific depot turn-tsble,
water tank and even the right of way,
besides the large Knapp, Burrell y Co.
warehouse and number of residences
and other buildings.
Mrs. Wright originally bought this
tract from the railroad company under
contract, and subsequently sold her right
to y man named Powers. The latter has
throughout the controversy claimed that
he rented it to Schlat. After Schlat had
been there for awhile the lieu land ex.
citement came up and Schlat claimed il
as homestead under the settlement
laws, filing contest against the com.
pany. The local Office at Walla Wallla
sustained him in his contention aud the
decision was affirmed by the commission
er aud awarded the land to Schlat who
will proceed at once to make final proof
The railroad company asked for review
Of the sectetary's decision, but this was
denied.
The papers for final proof by Schla
were received at the local land Office to
day. It is understood that Schlat will
now serve notice on the occupants, in
Guiding the railroad company, to settle
with him or move off.

AS 10 the Length Of Life.

A we'll known English physician and
student Of hygiene, Sis Benjamin Ward
Richardson, announces that the three
score year and ten generally supposed to
be the term OF human life is 40 years
short Of the time the average people who
take care OF themselves ought to live,
says the New York Journal.
Sir Benjamin, who is himself over 20,
aud in excellent health, explains how
this age may be reached He would
deny to his superannuated, not to cay
superfluous veteran. both alcohol and to-
bacco As some people eat to live, 30 he
would never drink nor smoke with the
same object. Great temperance in the
eating Of meat is also necessary. Regu-
lar exercise must ba taken at all ages.
Sir Benjamin himself rides bicycle.
His rules are not very sensational or ex-
acting, but he points out that very few at
present attempt 10 follow them. II they
did he is sure that seven out OF ten per-
sons would live to be ITO. Apparently
they prefer eating, drinking and smok-
ing during shorter life.

ing North Coast Products.
In the extensive report OF the stale
fair at st. Paul, the Pioneer Press says:
Commissioners Pague and Devers,
and their assistant have the exhibit OF
the Pacific Northwest immigration board
consisting OF the states of Oregon, Wash.
ington and Idaho, almost completed.
This large display occupies q space 40 by
so feet, and is in ITSELF a complete ex.

pie of white and yellow rock on one OF
the tables. This you will see is Utterly
banded together with virgin gold. 1t ia
from the Virtue mine of Eastern Oregon.
This mine yields $50, 900 of gold every 20
days, and it is but sample OF many
other splendid mines in the same dis
trict. How is this? Said he, picking
up brown chunk Of ore with dull yellow
protnberances on it's surface. This from
| the Bassick mine, near Baker City, and
| It is good for $4,000 to the ton. But

A GRAND RoNpE RANCH.
Harvesting and Threshing at the t.
ooO.acre ConIey Ranch.

Harvesting and Threshing at the II
ooo-acre ConIey Ranch.
The light showers OF the past few days
have not damaged to any material extent
the immense crop of grain now about
two.thirds harvested in Union county.
Messrs Jacob Newman and Mark Stew
ems drove out ten miles Wednesday to
the great wheat farm OF A. B. Conley.
From these gentleman the La Grande
Chronicle learns some interesting facts.
While Oonley has several thousand
bushels of oats and barley, the main crop
of wheat, OF which he will have nearly
100000 bushels, over one-half, or $4,000
bushels, being already threshed.
The labor force is now 85 men, 1874
work horses, seven large size headers and
6ve threshing machines.
The method Of work ia instructive In
the bed OF the headar wagon is cradle,
which is lifted bodily on the stack, ready
to thresh, thus doing away with the old
and slow pitchfork style. The grain,
when threshed, is run up an incline rail-
way and dumped by the wagon load into
| the top of the grainery building Teams
! from the Conley ranch are also hauling
! bv contract several thousand bushels OF
wheat to the Pioneer Touring mills at
Island City.
The nearly 100 people employed on the
ranch are divided into four boarding
gangs, and have eating quarters in az
many locations. Mr.. and Mrs. w. T,
Hartley, Of Elgin, manage the boarding
department, having full charge of the
cooks and walters. The amount Of food
that they must have prepared may be
judged by the fact that over 40 good milch
cows ara required for butter, cream and
| milk.
While Union county raises trainloadf
grain, fruit, hogs, sheep, cattle and horses
Mr.. A. r. Coley is certainly the grain
king of the country.

REPUBLICANS WIN.
A Victory for the Whole Tick

THE PLURALITY is $4,000
Reed, Dingley, Mulliken and

Portland, Me-, Sept. 15.- Returns from
the small towns and plantations in the
distant part of the state are. as usual,
coming in slowly. 1t is not probable that
all OF them will be heard from before to-
morrow. The votes from the cities and
towns, which poles more than two thirds
Of the entire vote, indicates, however,
that the republican plurality is between
49, 900 and 1000, the largest in the his
tory of the state. In every county the
republican ticket was successful. AL
most every town showed republican gains.
The democratic vote is about 40 per cent
less than in 1892. About 20 per cent Of
this has gone to the republican ticket,
the other half are stay.at- homes. The
vote of the populists and prohibitionists
throughout the state show loss from
1892 Of about 26 per cent. The total vote
is estimated at 124 900 in round numbers.

incidentally in the controversy OYER this
tract They bought OF Powers an un-
divided interest in about 100 acres Of the
land and laid it out in town lots Then
the property was divided up and the in
vestment company sold large share of
it, giving warranty deeds, which are now
supposed TO be valueless, so far as the
warranty is concerned, 40 the company
no longer exists. When Schlat gets his
title, tbs parties occupying by purchase
will doubtless seek to be ereimbursed, and
the supposition is that they will endeavor
to recover from the railroad company,
who sold the land to the predecessors of
Powers. In that event, also, it is thought
Schlat will demand compensation from
the railroad company or seek to compell
it to move off. A long and tedious liti-
CATION is anticipated unless the parties
can come together and settle by arbitra-
ton

district, Reeds plurality is 1866. Ding

ond and Millikin nearer 1900 in the
third. Boutelle's plurality in the fourth
will be almost 10 900. In the represen

Baker City and Sparta recently. During
a hot day. while driving leisurely along
without thought of danger or anything
very remarkable, q tank Of nitric acid
exploded in his wason with such force
as to throw him from his seat. After the
explosion fire was seen to issue from the
load. and everything was done to quench
the flames, with but little success. The
result was that 5 sack of oats, 800 feet of
fuse and other merchandise was destroy
ed besides the damage to the wagon.
