Died Suddenly.

Bradford S. Bonney, son of A. A
Bonney, died yesterday forenoon on
the Southern Pacific train near Ash
land, from heart failure, aged II years.
For some time he had been ailing,
threatened with consumption, aud left
The Dalfes Wednesday morning in
company with his father en- route to
Southern California for the benefit of
his health. He was feeling quite we'll
to within short time before his death.
Mr.. Bonney arrived at noon today
with the corpse, and the funeral will
take place from the family residence
at 1890 tomorrow forenoon.
Bradford Bonney was highly re-
spected young man and was held in
high esteem by all, who knew him, and
was short time since one of the bright

WoefulIy Ignorant.

A copy of the United States supreme
courts decision in the quadrant land
case has been received, and in it is to
be found this statement: at seems to
us quite clear that a main road was to
be bull. from Portland, the principal
city of Oregon, situated on the Colum-
bia river, to Astoria, port on the
Pacific ocean at the mouth of that
river, distance of some 1884 miles,
being over 100 miles beyond Forest
Grove"
Surely the hope is pardonable one
that the supreme court had clearer
vision Of the law in the case than it
had of Portland's situation on the
Columbia and the location of Astoria
100 miles or so off beyond Forest
Grove. Chief Justice Fuller, by whom
the opinion is written, should take
trip to Oregon; or buy an atlas of the
United States.

Money for Land.


Within the past three months the
cash entries perfected at the land
Office here have amounted to $67, 81.
These payments have come from
Wasco, Sherman and Gillian, and
were for land embraced within the
forfeited Northern Pacific land grant.
This has been serious drain upon the
ready cash of the country, since all the
money paid in for land goes directly
to Washington and never returns,
which explains to some extent the
scarcity of money at present. The
land thus entered, amounting to
something over $4,000 acres, embraces
some of the best farm land
in the country. and from now on
will be subject to taxation, and as it
will probably be assessed at an aver
age of S. per acre will add materially
10 the taxable property of the three
counties, so in the long run the COM
munity will be directly benefited,
though the land entries cause serious
scarcity of money at present.

There are fifty-three Fridays in 1897.
January, April, July, October and De-

the eleventh time this calendar idiosyn-

IMPORTANT CASES DECIDED.
Settlers Win Against the Eastern Urego
Land Company.


Land Company.
]. L. Story, attorney for the defen-
dants in the cases Of the Eastern Ore
gon Land Co. against E. F. Messenger
and J. D. Wilcox, of Sherman county,
has been notified that Judge Gilbert
has decided in favor of the defendants
These actions were test cases brought
by the company to set aside patents
issued by the United States to lands
entered by defendants under the home
stead act, within the three-mile over
lap limit of the land grant of The
palles Military Wagon Road Co.
The lands were within the Northern
Pacific grant, and when that was de-
clared forfeited, by the act of 1890, the
E. o. Land Co. set up claim to the
lands, though the interior department
accepted filings on homesteads within
the overlap limits. In due time pat
ents were issued to these defendants
and many others, Notwithstanding the
protest OF the land company. Judge
Gilbert in his decision held that the
forfeiture act of 1890 restored the lands
within the overlap limits of the wagon
road company to the public domain
and that they were subject to entry,
hence the patents issued to settlers
must stand. Title to large area Of
land in Sherman county hinged upon
this decision, and it is fortunate for
the settlers that the court has sustain-
ed the rulings Of the interior depart
ment.

Brandy from Prunes.

Collector of internal Revenue Black
man has received q number of letters
lately from parties. who ask for infor-
nation in res ard;;to making prune
brandy. 1t seems that large crop of
prunes is expected next season, and
some are fearing that the supply will
be in excess of the demand, and are
contemplating engaging in the busi-
ness of distilllng prune brandy, as the
supply OF that article never exceeds
the demand. OF late years there have
been a number Of fruit distilieries on
a small scale operated in this state.
and tits probable that hereafter there
will be more. just whether the COM
munity will be benefited by changing
prunes, peaches Setc.. into spirits is a
question; but people Who have more
fruit than they Gan get rid Of will
think it better teznske brandy of it
than to throw it sRay.

THE MARRIAeeAHLe AGE.
Woman's Period of Youth Has Advanced
Ten Years.

1 Ten Years.
1.-THE great trouble with this particu-
tar age" remarked q young woman on
her twenty-seventh birthday, sis that
people are so obviously wondering
whether or not one Intends to get mar
ried, and opining that if so, one had
better be about it, lest she find herself
in the predicament of Jacky, of nursery
lore, of whom it is narrated that first
he would, then he wouldn't, then he
thoughthe would, and then he couldn't.

take, at twenty-five who shall 1 get,
and at thirty who win take meP"
You forget" remarked her listener,
that woman's period of youth has
movedt on good ten years. In the
old-fashioned novel the heroine was in
variaDly sweet sixteen, never by any
chance either more or less. This gave
her twoyears in which to accomplish
the object of her being. since after the
venerable age of eighteen all possible
interest in her was supposed to cease
Now you seldom find heroine of fic-
ton who interests you under twenty
six, and in large number of actual
marriage statistics the bride is between
twenty-five and thirty, and even older.

but, don't you Think said the first
speaker, ''at that undeveloped age her
own character can grow into conformi-
ty with his, and that perhaps there
will be less conflict and greater happi-
ness thcrehy?"

implying the subjection of women,

Then the two. says the Philadelphia
Press, drifted into discussion of the

GOOD APPOINTMENT.
Tie New Agent at Warm Springs Proving
the Right Man In the Right Place.

The New Agent at Warm Springs Proving
the Right Man In the Right Place.
Although J. L. Cowan has had
charge as agent at Warm Springs only
a short timc, he is proving an efficient
official. giving perfect satisfaction to
the Indians as we'll as the government
employees about the agency. Mr..
| Cowan took hold of affairs at the
agency in business like manner that
instilles confidence among all parties.
Before assuming charge he required
full invoice taken of all the govern
ment property on the agency so that
| full accounts can be rendered during
his administration of everything.
On assuming control, Mr. Cowan as
sembled all the Indians on the reser-
walton in a body and informed them of
his purpose to exert every effort to
advance their interests and labor for
their welfare, and i'm pressed upon them
that he came as their friend, not to in
stitute new systems, but to perfect
those already adopted. The new
agent certainly succeeded we'll in gain
ing the confidence of the Indians and
convincing them that he is conscien-
tious in his efforts in their behalf by
sanctioning their holiday celebrations
and attending their Christmas and
New Year festivities, allowing them
all the privileges consistent with the
regulations by which he is governed.
The contractors who have been en- |
gagged in constructing government |
buildings at the agency are well satis- |
fed with the treatment they received
at Mr.. Cowan's hands. While he was |
exacting in every detail as to the full
fllment of their contracts, and in-
sisted that all work should be COM
pleted strictly in accordance with the
specifications under which they were
working before the work was accepted,
he was fair in all things, and exacted
nothing not called for in the contract.
Certainly the appointment of Mr..
Cowan was good selection, and he
will be able to accomplish much for
the betterment of the half civilized
people whom he is expected to govern.

According to celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 100000 little
glands in the human stomach. These
glands pour out the digestive juices
which dissolve or digest the food. In
digestion is want of juice, weakness of
glands, need of help to restore the
health of these organs. The best and
most natural help is that given by
Shaker Digestive Cordial. Natural,
because it supplies the materials needed
by the glands to prepare the digestive
juices. Because it strengthens and in
vigorates the glands and the stomach,
until they are able to do their work
alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures
indigestion certainly and permanently.
1t does so by natural means, and there
in lies the secret of its wonderful and
