Doctor of Optics.

In October, 1897, W. E. Garretson,
the optician and jeweler, took up a
course of study with the South Bend
College of optics. and took the final
examination the first of the year. Mr..
Garretson has been rewarded for his
pains.aking researches and careful
study by being graduated from the
college with the degree OF Doctor of
Optics. The diploma was issued Feb
ruary IL. 1899, and has just been re-
ceived Mr.. Garretson now feels that
he is fully capable of practicing the
profession of optician, since he has
mastered the course of study outlined
by this we'll known college, and it
certainly should recommend him to
those afflicted with defective vision.

TOO SLOW ON FOOT.
Jailor Fitzgerald had Lively Chase
After a Fleeing Prisoner.

JaiIor Fitzgerald had Lively Chase
After Fleeing Prisoner.
Sunday morning Jailor John
Fitzgerald had lively chase after
Mike Dunn, man who Is confined IN
the county Jail awaiting the action of
the grand jury on charge of larceny,
but Mr.. Fitzgerald proved the swiftest
of the two and caught his man though
he did not get fair start.
When Mr.. Fitzgerald went to the
Jail in the morning he found Indian
Jack up and around, and told him to
build fire, but Jack insisted that
there was no wood in the jail, 80 he
stepped inside to see what had become
of tho wood he had left there Saturday
night. just as he passed the first cell.
Dunn darted out of it and through the
Jail door, out of the sheriff's office
and into the street. Mr.. Fitzgerald
had to close the Jail door before he
could pursue the fleeing prisoner,
therefore reached the street just in
time to see his man turn into the
alley leading west from Union street.
Mr.. Fitzgerald got up a motion that
would have made d professional
sprinter enyious, and manag ed to keep
in sight OF the fellow, who went to the
end of the alley near the Thorn bury
property, thea turned north into
Second street, coming back to the
Michelbach building, then turned out
on Union street until he came to the
alley back of the Columbia hotel. In
to the alley he went like the wind. and
kept on his fight until he appeared on
Court street and was met by Sid Kelly
who stopped him long enough for Mr..
Fitzgerald to catch up. Dunn, how.
ever, was about ready to give up the
race, while Mr.. Fitzgerald was only
getting in good shape for long run,
after having chased his man six blocks.
Dunn was taken back to Jail, and it is
not probable that he will see the out
side of prison walls until he is taken
into court for trial.

In Memory of Maggie Keys.

The following lines were written by
Emma B. French, and dedicated to
the memory of Maggie Keys. who died
recently at the home of her parents,
in Mayville.
You, lying out there, With that pale
band of sleepers?
Your busy hands folded, your active
feet still?
Who bring me this tale are but idle
deceiyers:
do not believe them, cannot--nor
will!
So lately we spoke, and no message OF
warning
Had over your spirit its dark shadow
flung;
Did you drop to the earth in the glad
sunny morning,
Like an arrow-struck bird with its
song scarce begun?
Nay. nay! for not such lives as yours
are a target,
For the skillful and merciless archer
named death!
He aims, does he not, where the aged
limbs falter,
Or the weak infant gaspS out MS
huttering breath?
Not you. with your young life go ar

Not you, could have tempted the

Not you could have vanished in

Not you! All my heart in sad prophecy
falters.
Reminded how death from his station
so dark,
Still loves. as he aims at our hearts, =
fairest alters,
To strike where there flashes gilt

So you, like bird with its clear voice

Dropped swiftly and silently down
to the sod,
And we dare not rebel, for we see by
the arrow
1t was aimed by Deaths angel, the
archer of God.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST pKoDucERs.
Farmers and Wool Men Plan an Associ-
alton for Mutual Protection.

Farmers and Wool Men Plan an Associ-
alton for Mutual Protection.
There is on foot plan for the forma-
tion of what will be called the Pacific
Northwest Producers Association,
which will before long make of itself
a strong factor in the induatrial life of
this community. Thus far, the mem
bership secured consists only of farm
ers and grain producers, but it is hoped
that the wool men and sheep breeders
will come into the association, and add
producers of wool to the list.
The movement began some time ago,
and suddenly developed into plan of
considerable comprehensiyeness, with
an association that shall not only have
pleasant headquarters in this city, brt
in them have receil ed every half hour
telegraphic reports of the worlds mar
kets, and also keep on hand all the
principal trade journals and market
reviews of accepted reliability.
The following are the statements of
the objects aimed at:
"We the undersigned producers of
the county of Umatilla and state of
Oregon, do by our signatures hereby
agree to unite ourselves in a non-polit-
ical body for the purpose of providing
for ourselves protection against the
trusts that have been formed and
which dictate to the producers the
prices of the commodities which we
produce; and to further provide our.
selves with a place to meet and trans
act business and receive telegraphic
market reports of the world; and to
place ourselves in direct cammunica-
tion with the consumers of the world;
and to unite ourselves in one grand
body aud to promote harmony and
work for the general welfare of the
community at large, and for the pro.
ducer."
The association will in no manner
touch the mercantile portion of the
business of the community, but will
exist solely Tor tne purpose OF enaOllng
the producers OF wheat, wool and live
stock to keep more closely in touch
with the markets of the world, and to
more intelligently handle them. II
| will be the particular tenet of the
association that there shall be no poll
tics in the conduct of the affairs, an6
| tho objects as set forth in the state
ment above quoted will absolutely
govern the officers and member;
throughout the life of the association
1t is less than ten days since the
effort began to form the association
and already there are on the lists oi
prospective members 15S farmers
wheat growers, and among them so'nt
of the most prominent and solidest o.

AFTER INLAND TRADE.
The Columbia Southern Reaching into the
Interior.

Interior.
The Prineville Review, commenting
on the report that he Columb bia South
ern will build to Antelope this season,
says:
I'VE understand that it is the in
tention to complete the road to within
8 or 10 miles of Antelope this summer.
There is no doubt but what the o. r.
& N. is behind the Columbia Southern.
They are certainly friendly in regard
to the interchange of traffic rates. The
principal reason no doubt, for the o.
r. & N. in launching this enterprise,
is their dislike in referen q to The
Dalles people in putting on the Regu
lator line of steamers from The Dalles
profits in the passenger and freight
lines. This line of steamers has been
very annoying to the o r. & N. peo-
pie and they now have chance to get
even with The Dalles. This proposed
road will tap the country largely
tributary to The Dalles and the trade
from this section has been worth
thousands of dollars to The Dalles
people, Terminal facilities will un-
doubtedly be provided at the terminus
of the road so that they can handle
the immense amount of traffic that
will pass over their line.
Our people are getting to think that
better times are in store for them and
that we will not always be isolated
from our shipping point. Whether
the proposed line will ever reach
Prineville, is not worrying us but
little. If we can secure terminal facil-
tiles within go or Is miles without
having to pay excessive tolls, We have
accomplished something to our advan-
tage; then we will pursue the even
tenor of our way and wait for some.
thing else to turn up. Our stock in
terests, our wool industry and our
mining industry cannot always be
overlooked. Our mines are proving
that they will be an immense -.actor
in future years, and if the miuing
regions in the different portions of
Central Oregon are not tapped by
branch railroads you can put US down
as bad profit"
Here is something for The Dalles
to think about. The people of Crook
county want an outlet for their pro-
duce. They have been at the dis ad
vantage of hauling their products from
100 to 200 miles by wagon, and they
know the advantages of quicker and
cheaper means Of transportation. In
the past they have been source OF
great profit to The Dalles, and they
have kindly feeling toward this
place, but they will nor di-commode
themselves to bring US favors. Prob
ably, however, We could retain their
patronage were we to offer them
transportation facilities better than
can be offered by the Columbia
Southern. 1t is high time for The
Dalles to again begin agitating the
question of road up the Deschutes

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANcE.

A Prosperous Young Farmer at Hainet
Drops Out OF Sight.
The rural neighborhood of the little
village of Haines, In Powder valley,
was considerably stirred ND the fore
part of the week by what seemed to be
very mysterious disappearance of a
prominent young farmer, Lafe Favor
ite. residing about two miles west OF
Haines, says the Baker City Democrat.
On Tuesday afternoon last Mr..
Favorite kissed his young wife, to
whom he was welded only few
months ago, and started across field
anG meadow in the direction off lHaines.
Before going he informed his wife
that he was going to make land sale
to Davis Wilcox, the merchant, and
would, also, attend a meeting of the
Odd Fellows lodge that evening and
If he was late returning home for her
not to be alarmed.
Mr.. Favorite did not go to Haines,
neither did he attend lodge. Where
he went no one seemed to know. His
continued absence alarmed his wife
and on Wednesday she notified her
relatives and neighbors and search
ing party went out to look for him.
Word was sent to Haines and num-
ber of the citizens prepared to make q
diligent investigation. They first
called on the brothers of the missing
man and according to the state ment
of Haines citizen to a Democrat
reporter yesterday, they were inform
ed that Mr.. Favorite had made 1t
known to his brothers that he was
dissatisfied with some things and in
tended leaving the country. Notwith-
standing this statement of the missing
mans brothers, however, there are
those who believe that the man has
been foully dealt with.
Mr.. Favorite was sole administrator
OF his fathers estate, owned consider
able property in his own name and for
MIN to leave the country with his
affairs in an unsettled condition seems
to be out of all reason
Mr.. Fayorite's young wife, to whom
he seemed to be greatly attached, is
greatly alarmed over the disappearance
of her husband and, it is said, Is of the
opinion that harm has befallen him
He was member of the l. o. o F.,
Workmen and Woodmen lodges and
was well thought of by his lodge
brothers, who from the first have been
anxious for his safety and have inter-
ested themselves in unravelling the
mystery surrounding his strange dis
appearance.
