Political Gossip.

The impression is abroad that the
Populists will nominate Gov. Pennoyer
for congress in this district, and will
ask the Democrats to endorse him.
This, the East Oregonian thinks, is not
to be expected. 1t says:
However the people generally may
look at such a proposition, one thing
may be set down as on the cards, the
Democratic politicians will oppose it.
No one pretends that Sylvester PEN
oyer even wants such nomination.
But presuming that he does, the atti-
tude of Democratic politicians in the
premises may be predicted quite ac-
curately and one reason, at least, given
for their attitude.
] "But Governor Pennoyer is not the
man the Populists are figuring on as
the most available candidate for con-
gress in this district. That man is
Will King, senator from Baker county,
vino was elected on the populist ticket
last time. He is lawyer, gentleman,
popular man, and could win lots of
votes were he to go vigorously into
the champaign. He is their most
likely candidate, unless it be Colonel
William Parsons, of Pendleton, who
made splendid run for district attor-
ney against John L. Rand, the success
full candidate. The colonel has all
along refused to become a candidate
and insists on some one else coming

How to XIII Squirrels.

Already the ground squirrel, or sage
rot, which is the bane of the Eastern
Oregon farmer, is making its appear
ance in different parts of the country.
the mild winter having apparently
been especially favorable to them. In
parts of Umatilla county they are said
to be making their appearance in un-
usually large numbers and the farmers
express alarm lest they shall prove
more destructive than common. The
farmers in those sections are waging
war upon the little marauders, and Mr..
v. c. Daniels tells the East Oregonian
his manner of operation. He takes
one-eighth of an ounce of 'strychnine
and half gallon of wheat, with pint
of sweetened water. In the water the
strychnine is dissolved and poured
over the wheat. Over the mixture
enough flour is sprinkled to dry it, and
when thus prepared one-third of tea
spoonful is all that is required at
one hole to kill two or three squirrels.
MI. Daniels says this is the best sea-
son of the year to exterminate the
pests, for at the present time the squir-
rels are weak and on account of scarcity
of food, hungry. They will eat the
poisoned wheat and their weakness
causes them to die even when eating
two or three kernels of the poisoned
grains.

the gold supply may force d change
of its existing ratio to silver. Whether
this follows or not, it is true that the
present tendency of energy and capital
is toward gold mining to such an ex-
tent that the production of gold is in
creasing faster than that of silver.
The high water mark of silver pro-
duction in the United States was
reached in 1892, with total output of
So, l0l, 900. In 1893 it declined to.S77,-
575 200, and in 1894 to $64, 100000. The
maximum annual American pro-
duction of the ten years between 1880
and 1890 was $50. 195, 900, in 1888. Prior
to the opening of the great Co orado
mines, between 1870 and 1880, the
American silver production never
reached $4,000, 900 Il year. The ma; =
mum between 1919 and 1862 was only
$1,000, ,O00.
From 1850 to 1880 the worlds output
1851 to 1860 inclusive it was 1872 2,26l, =
600 in silver, against S132, ,9Sl.OOO in
gold; from 1861 to 1870 it was S507, ia,
600 in silver, against 81 ,263, 3,Ol5,OOO in
gold: from 1871 to 1880 it was 1913 S,57S,-
coo in silver to 81, ,15O, $4,000 in gold,
| but between 1881 and 1890 inclusive
the production of silver increased to
81, POS. 900, while that of gold de-
clined to 81 o 0,S92, 900.
According to the last mint estimates
the worlds annual output of silver
increased from S177,352, 900 in 1891 to
$215. .4O4, 900 in 1894, while gold produc'
tion during the same period increased
from $780, $50, 900 in 1891 to Sl79, 9,965,0 ,00C
in 1894. The more rapid increase OF
gold production is undoubtedly due to
it's enhancing international impor'
tance.

OF Interest to settlers.

The senate committee on public
lands has reported favorably upon a
bill introduced by Senator Mitchell,
which is of considerable Importance
to settlers on lands in this and
Sherman counties. It is known as the
double-medium refunding bill. This
measure provides for the refunding to
the settlers within forfeited railroad
grants of all more than $1.25 per acre.
paid by those who settled on even
numbered sections, and made their
payments at the double-minium price.
1t is well known that the double price
was paid because it was believed that
lands within railroad grants were much
more valuable than those outside.
This was no doubt true, SO long as no
roads were built in the lands outside
the grants. Afterward. with the build
ing of roads, the lands which were sold

There are within the corporate linn

A LEvEL-HEADED BOY.

BY His Presence of Mind Calamity was
Averted in an Omaha School.
In Omaha there is a boy who will
some day be general. He is Offie
Downs, the drummer boy of the Dodge
street school in that city and is 13
years of age. For some time past he
has been the military band of the
school, and it was his duty twice day
to stand at the foot of the stairs and
march the school out to the step of an
army rattle. This exercise was called
the fire drill, and the pupils from the
infant class up was told they must
never hesitate when the drum should
sound. Each tot knew bis place in the
line, and so accurately and thoroughly
were the pupils trained that Principal
Allen boasted the building could be
emptied in twp minutes.
A few days since he had an oppor-
tunity to practically test his boast, and
had it not been for Ofie Downs pres
ence of mind the boast would have
been an idle one, and many of the 500
pupils of the school would have
perished, The principal was quietly
seated in his room when one of the
lady teachers, pale and excited from
fright. dashed in with the cry that the
building was on fire. She FASTENED
back to her charges and the principal
ran to the gong. Everything was ex-
element, teachers and pupils ran
hither and thither, but no one seemed
to remember the fire rules except the
drummer boy.
Offie Downs kept his head. He saw
the smoke coming through the register.
He did not think it was necessary to
ask permission to leave the room. He
rapidly passed the instructors without
word and went down the two flights of
stairs on the run. He wanted the drum,
and he got it. Principal Allen was
not in his room, but the young hero
did not hesitate to enter. He pulled
the instrument from the hook and
slung the strap over his shoulder and
plunged into the hall. The smoke was
now so dense he could scarcely see his
way, and on the floor above he heard
the teachers shouting to the children
to remain in order. There were fire
engines rattling outside, but like
battle Offie Downs took his
post. He picked his way to the bot
tom of the stairs just as the 500 pupils
in a herd at the top of the |
stairs. He pounded the drum for |
dear life.
The very first sound from it acted |
like magic. Mr.. Allen pulled three
little girls and one boy from under the
rushing children and commanded them
20 keep step to the music. The little
ones then remembered their lessons,
Ind to the music calmly came down
'he long fight, as they had done a
thousand times before. Smoke filed
he entire building, but in minute
rom the time the band began to play
here was not child in it.
The boy never ceased his incessant
drumming until informed by the prin-
'ipal that all the children were out of
LANCER, then he emerged from the
moke, the hero of the occasion, and
he one to whom they owed their de-
iverance.

at S1.25 per acre became as valuable as
those which were inside the grants.
The fact that the roads were not built
as anticipated, certainly ought to make
it plain that the persons who paid the
higher price for lands are now en-
titled to get them for what they
would have paid for them if no
grant had been made. The set
tiers mostly interested in this bill are
between Wallula and Portland, on the
old grant of the Northern Pacific road.
There are other sections of the country
interested, and the aggregate amount
to be returned is so large that it will
no doubt cause considerable opposition
in the senate. There is a proposition
to confine it simply to the forfeited
grant in Oregon and Washington. but
that is scarcely practicable.
