STRAP PROTECTOR.
A Novel Device just Patented by
Mr.. Pond.

N. W. Pond of the firm Of Pond &
DrinkIe, the man who can cure all
cases of deceased machinery, has in
vented strap protector which is
used in the strap loop near the buckle
or snap. An ingenious piece of metal
is placed inside of the loop which
takes all of the wear and not only
protects the leather but adds to the
durability of the loop. In nine cases
out of ten the harness breaks in one
of these loops which have to stand
the greatest possible strain and this
protector simply takes the strain
from the leather and places it against
the metal fixture. A patent for this
novelty was granted to Mr.. Pond
October 9TH, 1902. The patent will
probably be sold to some party who
can use it to good advantage in
manufacturing harness and other
leather goods,

not that she feared death but 81
would live for, as she thought, tn
good of her family.
She was not afraid to die. Whel
death came on pace, and hope mus
be abandoned, she gladly welcomed
the end, when she should be at home
and at rest.
After many weary days and nights
of suffering and waiting for unwilling
death, he came at last, but with his
sandals off his feet, walking as softly
as the twilight. Life slowly ebbed
away like the ebbing of the tide at
early morn, and her spirit chastened
and purified by the fire oflong suffer
ing, passed noiselessly from it's house
of clay into the eternal mansion OF
God.
Mrs. Kindig was noble woman, q
good neighbor, true wife and help
mate, an effectionate, pains taking
mother, and a consistent Christian to
the end. She was for many years q
member of the Methodist church, and
loyal to all interests, doing special
work in the Sabbath School, where as
teacher and superintendent, she no
doubt touched many lives for good.
Her career on earth is over and she
rests from her labor. She fought q
good fight, she kept the faith, she was
true to her course and today stands
victory crowned in the presence of her
Lord and Savior New Sharon Star.
CARD OF THANKS.
The family of P. II. sheahan, de-
ceased, desire to extend their sincere
thanks to the members of the g. A.

kindly remembered them during this
period of their sorrow.

Old People Have Their Troubles.

Mr.. Francis Little, of Benton Har-
Dor Mich, is over eighty years Of age.
Since 1865 he has been troubled more
or less with indigestion and constipaz
ton and has tried almost everytb

ust he began using Chamber
Stomach and Liver Tablets and
soon feeling much better. In a reed
letter he says, II have used three
boxes of the tablets and now I think

He learned a Great Truth.

1t is said of John Wesley that he
once said to Mistress Wesley: why
do you tell that child the same thing
over and over again." John Wesley,
because once telling is not enough"
1t is for the same reason that you are
told over and over again that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy cures colds
and grip: that it counteracts any ten

pneumonia, and that it is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by all rug

70 this end the GAZETTE

following Communication from
! Mr.. Marion Hayden, of Alssa,
to a friend in this city:
Alsea, Or, Feb. 20, IoeI.
Ny DEAR FRIEND:-Since OUR
conversation some time ago re-
gardiHg my becoming a candi-
date for the Legislature I have
carefully gone over the subject
and am now more certain. of..my
feelings than. I was at that time.
As I told you then many others
of my friends from different
parts of the county had previous
ly asked me to allow the use Of
my name. Until the last few
days 1 have not been. favorably
inclined toward the suggestion.
There is nothing I should dislike
more than being mixed up in
factional fight, in which might
become under obligationlto sone
faction, and I certainly would
not become the candidate OF any
men or set of men for this office.
But since no one. else seems. to
be candidate for the office, and
so many OF my friends are ask
ing me to become a candidate I
hesitate to refuse the use of my
uame, and am frank to confess
that could I become the candi-t
date not Of a faction, but of the |
party in general / should deeply |
the honor.
l regard this once as one IN
which the only return for time
and labor expended is the respect
Of ones fellow man and the
honor which follows an honest
and conscientious performance of
The truss imposed, and looking
1t the matter in this light LIDO
not believe that any man could
consistently become an active
aspirant for such honors. i
I think that I have sufficiently
my attitude toward
his question, and write you to
ct my friends know how I stand.

First. There is q tax of about $500
collected for the county. II has to be
used for bridges and slides in the road
and is not enough, even for that purpose.
2. Our roads are in bad condition; it is
q mountainous country, and the roads
are subject TO washouts and slides be-
sides our main roads are and have been
badly cut up with lumber wagons, it is
impossible 10 get and keep them in good
condition with the means at our COM
mand.
5. | cannot say at present how the
people are on a special tax. but rather
think 4 majority in favor of 1t.
I. Ny View IS that no county can ever
build up until they ave good roads. My
notion is that in these extreme western
counties especially We would do better
With convict labor properly managed. Our
county Is too sparselv settled and our
people too poor 10 build good roads with
the means at our command.
