Good Big Western Stories"

Charles Waters, the old Vernon county
pioneer, writes the CENSOR from his
home in the state. of Washington, of an
outing he had just returned from: "A
five-hour ride in a stage on Aug. 5th,
from White Salmon, Washington, to
Trout Lake, ~ miles from snow line of
Mt. Adams. Two hours with rod and
line, land in the boat 90 fine speckled
beauties. A good nights sleep in a hay
barn gives an excellent appetite fol'
breakfast. In less than two weeks out
ing | caught over 400 trout, So the great
est days catch. Within a few miles the
huckleberry patches begin and extend
many miles. Several hundred Indians
visit there every year to gather berries,
horse race and gamble. Last years
outing / caught 1,075 trout at the same
place. Among tue attractions are an
Ice cave with columns of ice hanging
from the roof. Bottom of ave is cover
ed with ice that has not thawed out since
discovered, 20years ago. Large columns
standing all over many feet high that
people often haul many miles for sum-
mer use. Also a large cave about forty
feet deep, with nice even formed walls
and arched roof, one mile in length.
They ars situated on level ground, the
entrance being seme IS feet aeress."

ROhhed the Grave.

A startling incident, of which Mr..
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, Was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows
Il was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain coming in back and
sides, no appetite 8 gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Fortunately, a friend
advised trying Electric Bitters;' and tc
my great joy and surprise, the first
bottle made a decided improvement. ]

am now a well man. know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of another

them. Only 80 cents, guaranteed, at A.

The Tobacco Situation.

A general movement of the new crop
which the growers had some reason to
anticipate from an early fury in the
market does not materialize. Outside
of the Vernon county section local dea-
lers have not been drawn into the buying
excitement. Thus far but two large ope-
rators have entered the buying field in
all sections and evidences are present
that these firms have about concluded
their purchases of choice selections,
whilea few favorable localities have been
pretty well picked up. If these sur
misses are true a general movement of
the crop in all sections may be delayed
longer than the growers had hoped for.
On the strength of the opening sales the
farmers have built up high expectations
in regard to prices and dealers may
conclude to wait awhile and allow time
to soften their ideas along this line. AT
any event the present prospects do not
point to an early general movement OF
the crop.

even the temporary advancement of
prices to IN unreasonable point-inf fact,
l believe that it may become necessary
to do so.
The foregoing sentence appears in one
of Gov. Scofield's recent fair ~utterances.
The governor could well demonstrate
and set the pace for such action by at
tempting to prevail upon his fellow
saw-log' barrons to stop the rise'in lum-

Good promises are good, if kept; but
good promises, though Oft repeated, are
worth less than nothing, for they are
generally accepted at the cost of their
victims. The person or the project
which is ever going to do" but never
does, is a good one to let alone. While
it is true that IAN ounce of preventive is
worth a pound of cure" it is not true
that an ounce of promise is worth a
pound of performance. An ounce of
performance is worth a ton of promises.
