ems and Mr.. William Staiger.


Under the above heading the Oregon
Daily Statesman, published at Salem,
thus records the marriage of Miss
Carl Kitchens, sister of Mrs. G.. G..
Goldsworthy, of this city:
Thanksgiving day, 1897, will be a
memorable and happy date in the
home OF Mrs. Jane Kitchens, at No.

there in the early evening, namely the
pretty home wedding in which her ac-
complfshed and popular daughter
Miss Carl Kitchens, was united to
Mr.. William Staiger, the well-known
marble merchant and estimable citi-
zen of this city.
The affair was characterized by an
elegant simplicity and was witnessed
only by the immediate families of the
happy principles and few chosen
friends of both.
The front parlor was prettily deco
rated with snowy chrysanthemums
massed against the FURNISHED green
of ivy beneath a graceful festoon of
which the ceremony was performed.
Rev. w. G. Kantnel, ID. d., pastor
of the First Congregational church
ofiiciated with the impressive ritual of
that church, after which the assembled
guests extended to Mr.. and Mrs. Stat
ger the congratulations and good
WISHES born of devoted friendship and
loving kinship, and then the wedding
party adjourned to the dining room
and discussed the dainties of Il lovely
wedding supper seasoning the repast
with the largess of mlrth incident to
such occasions.
Mr.. and Mrs. Staiger were the re-
cipients of some beautiful gifts in sill
yer and fragile China, one piece of
which was peculiarly grateful to the
charming bride, an octagonal silver
bowl that came from her class of
young people in the Sunday school of
the Congregational church.
No wedding journey will be INDUCED
in by the happy pair, rs they. will set
tie down at once to housekeeping and
sharing. the home of Mrs. Kitchens,
where they will receive their friends
on after December II, next.
The bride IS, many friends in Mineral
Point tender hearty congratulations
and good wishes to the worthy couple.

During the last presidential cam
paign u class of republican newspa-
pcrs, OF extreme high tariff and free
silver proclivities, were much given to
saying that the currency laws were all
right, but that the Cleveland admins
tration and the Wilson tariff law were
altogether responsible forthe financial
depression then prevailing. This
sort OF talk tempted many a sound
money Democrat to so far forget
his political duty as to go and join
the many weaponed army which
marched under the banners OF Bryan
and Sewcll and Bryan and Watson.
But the blind partisans who tried to
place all the responsibility for the
hard times upon the attempt to re-
ducc high tariff taxation have their
answer full and complete in President
McKinley's message TO Congress. 1T
ought to put them to shame.

Working the Old Mines.

Grant County Herald.
Forty years ago the mining district
south of Lancaster known as Pigeon
Diggings produced considerable lead.
1t is we'll know fact that in this part
of the country the water is receding
from the surface of the earth; whether
permanently is question, neverthe-
less it is receding. In Pigeon Diggings
within the last Il years the water has
gone down ten to fifteen feet, and old
shafts that were abandoned at
time when they were yielding large
quantities Of lead ore can now be
sunk ten to fifteen feet deeper.
Montgomery Miller of Lancaster is
now sinking a discovered shaft in the
spot where Flagg's blacksmith shop
stood and is preparing to work out
old shafts that were abandoned by
Mr.. Flagg, with every indication of
reaping a rich reward.
Also Messrs. Geo. B. HYDE and
Tomas Mcdonald are now working
out the old shaft dug by VIM. Foster
near the Belscamper place in Pigeon
1t is believed by those we'll versed in
mining that there is now plenty of
paying work in Pigeon Diggings for
idle men to do. There seems to be a
degree of certainty about digging the
old rich holes deeper that is lacking
in sinking entirely new shafts.

ABOUT POSTAGE STAMPS

Stamp collectors continue to issue
protests against unnecessary issues. ="
and the little republics and kingdoms
go right along issuing them. If the coll
lector would not buy the stamps the is-
sue would cease. Do they ever think of
that?
The three leading stamp catalogues
Tor 1897 are out, and they differ con-
slderably in prices. This is to be ex-
pected, however, since dealers regulate
prices by stock they have on hand.
This creates confusion in the mind of
the amateur collector, until he discov-
crs the reason.
The biggest registered letter ever
mailed in the United States was a box
containing the testimony and exhibits
IN recent suit concerning the chloride
process of extracting gold. The post
age was S1S7. 1t was sent from New
York to Pretoria, South Africa. The
largest previous record was $40.
The Boston Journal says that peri
odical stamps are only bits of COL
ored paper" and if the government will
not sell them to collectors, the collect
ors are justified in getting them by
hook and crook. The assumption that
collectors must have these stamps is
very amusing. What dreadful things
would happen if they could not get
them? Would they die?

The hand binding harvester with men to
do the binding is out of date, and so is the

seeded by the Mccormick Right Hand Open.
Elevator, she success of which makes it seem
highly probable that there will be no pro-

machines in three years.
The application of roller bearings to grain
cutting machinery was made by j. G. Perry
in 1869, and his patent, No Sc ,5S4, for an
improved reaper, showed and described
various ways of using roller and ball bear
ings in harvesters. In view of these facts
it is somewhat amusing to read the claims
of certain reaper maker of the present
day, who says he was the first to introduce
roller bearings in harvesting machinery. As
matter OF fact this manufacturer is COM
paratively beginner in the art of reaper
building and has originated nothing.
unquestionably the most practical and sat-
isfactory application of roller bearings to
binders and mowers has been made by the
Mccormick Harvesting Machine Company.
The Particular form used by them was patent
ed in 1882 and is now to be found in all Nc
Cormick machines. The especially valuable

Why Mccormick Changed from the
Left to the Right Hand Binder.

It has been said that the convenlences OF
one age become the necessities of the next:
but no ordinarily sane man will contend
that the necessities of one age should be-
come the inconvenience of the next. When
binding was done by hand the left hand cut
the platform of the harvester and was de-
livered into the receiver with its heads
towards the rear of the machine. The men
stood in the receiver facing the grain. With
the left hand machine the heads of the
grain are at the left hand of the man doing
the binding, so in taking out the bundle

turned to the front table or to the back
table he KEEP: his position toward the
bundle itself-that is, with the heads toward
