little more comfort, nothing Of noto-
riety.
Since the discovery of the celebrated
Wounded Deer ledge they have been
camping near the glory hole" Now
they have sold out and moved back to
the mountain farm.
I'VE are contented with our ranch
odt on Sucker" said Mr.. Briggs, when
asked why they did not move out and
buy a home in the city, or even near
Grants Pass. I'VE would not be salts
fed anywhere but out there in the
mountains. We have complete freedom
out there-no bad neighbors, plenty
Of room, plenty of air, plenty of sun
shine
When asked just how much they
really took from the shallow hole dug
on the crest of the SiskiyOus, Mr..
Briggs replied that the sum total was
practically $4,000. He and HIS boys
will continue their regular work of
prospecting and gold-hunting. There
is plenty more up there yet" said he.
I'VE did not get it all by any means.
and We will make a close search for
more''

Voting In Pennsylvania.

During the second election of Gov
ernor Hartranft it came to the knowl-
edge Of the democratic city committee
of Harrisburg, Pa, that a train of
negro repeaters had been sent to that
city for election purposes
The committee and ward workers
were hurriedly called together the
night before election, and an ineffect-
ual effort made to devise some means
to overcome the attempted fraud
At that time the law required that
all persons not upon the assessment
list should make out papers declaring
the place Of residence, date Of pay
ment of last tax, etc This was to be
attested by a well-known resident in
similar manner.
Il was assisting in keeping the poll
book" in the sixth ward of that city,
says our informant. Scores of ne
groes were being voted and added to
the books as additional voters. They
were nonresidencts and without the
right to vote. They were furnished
with tax receipts the names being en-
tered in the space for that purpose in
lead pencil at the polls. There seemed
to be no way of ebbing the tide. The
election was held in one end of the
market-house with no inclosing room
for use of the board.
AT last 1 handed the book to one
Of the other workers, went inside and
found that the papers were made out
regularly; but when the oath should
have been administered to the alleged
voter and vouching citizen, it was done
in this form:
Judge: You and each of you do
swear that the contents of these pa
pers are true and correct?'
Applicant and voucher-Answered,
Yes
mo legal oath was administered, or
made, just this form gone through
with, to deceive the onlooker. The
votes were taken and deposited within
the box.
Il Immediately denounced the judge
but was threatened with arrest. and
hauled out of the market house, with
cries of cut his heart out etc.

SEN. ToLMAN WILL NOT SERVE
Resigns From Washington Commits
sion to Beth Great Fairs.

SPOKANE, Nov. 4.-State Senator
Warren w. Tolman has rendered his
resignation as member of the Wash
ington commission at the ST. Louis
fair and has also declined to serve on
the Washington commission for the
Lewis and Clark fair at Portland next
year.
My law practice would not permit
of my devoting the time necessary to
the commission" stated Senator Toll
man. Il do not expect to take any part
In securing the exhibit for Portland
next year for the same reason"
Ii is claimed in Spokane that none of
this years grains and grasses have
been collected for the Portland exhibit,
and many think Washington will not
make good showing next year.

Joe choynski to Quit Prize Rinq.

Joe Choynski has decided to quit
the ring. He evidently thought there
| was one more fight left in him when
he agreed to meet Jack O'Brien, but a
few weeks of training showed him the
mistake, and he wisely called the
show off.
Choynski has had a remarkable ca
reer, in the ring, in many ways. He
was an unfortunate fighter in his fight
ing weight. He was little too heavy
for the middleweights and too light
for the heavyweights. When he began
fighting he was tough proposition for
the best of them, but he was beaten so
often in latter years a slight rap on the
chin made him dizzy. He has glass
jaw and it is very doubtful if he
could have kept it out of O'Brien's
reach any appreciate time.
"Old Man" Fitzsimmons always held
Choynskis punch in respect He has
always maintained that Choynski was
Furnishing hitter, and tells a story
to illustrate it,
1t was in the third round of his fight
with Choynski in Boston. He got to
Fits chin with fast right and the
Australian went to the floor
1T was really the only time I got
the true jaw knockout sensation" said
Fitz, telling the story. Il lay there on
the canvas and forgot all about the
fight l saw all the chairs in the gall
lery sliding down towards me. and
wondered why somebody didn't stop
them. l couldn't hear the count and
as I say, 1 didn't seem to be in the
ring. Then l heard a man at the ring
side say Well, 1 told you Choynski
would knock him out and then it came
back to me with a shock that it was
me they were talking about, and that
I was down and out. I got back on my
feet in time, but l believe that was a
harder punch than Jeff gave me-

Signs Of Disease
The First Signs of Disease are Poor
Complexion, Weakness, Emacia.
ton and Lack of Vitality.

The first sign of returning health is
increase of flesh, strength and vigor.
This weakness, emaciation and lack
of vitality simply means that certain
substances, which go to make up the
blood and nerves, have become ex-
hausted; and to renew flesh, muscle
and strength, these substances must
be restored. DR.. Chase's Blood and
Nerve Food is composed of the same
kind OF substances that are lacking in
the impoverished blood and nerves
when in poor health. and abundant in
the rich juices that flow through the
system when in perfect health. If peo-
pie would take this .ood occasionally
when In health to keep their blood
and nerves in good condition, many
spells OF sickness and wasting disease
would be prevented. 1t makes sick

Gle on thin people, gives strength to
weak people, restores the lost vitality
to nervous people, imparts the tint Of
health to pale and sallow people. Il

WaIcott to Fight With One Hand.

Joe WalcOtt, one of the three great
colored fighters of our time-the
others are others are Cans and Dixon
killed colored man some weeks ago
at dance in Boston and shot himself
in the hand in such a way that he is
probably out of the fighting business
in the future. The killing, from all ac-
counts, was accidental. Walcott's pis-
tol being discharged without intent to
Hall. Eye witnesses corroborate the
story of Walcott that the shooting was
accidental, and the wife of Hall, who
was at the dance. says she has no
doubt it was an accident.
Walcott was one of the greatest
fighters of the day, and while his eff
forts in several fights were not up to
his standard, no one ever doubted his
ability to whip any man of his weight,
and many scrappers much heavier.
Welterweights will have no regrets at
the passing of the Black Demon. 1t is
the right hand that he perforated with
a bullet and this will be a handicap to
him. He has been a great two handed
fighter and walloped as hard with the
left as he did with the right. OF late
the Black Demon appeared to have
gone back, but he was not back
number by any means.

Portland Her Home.

In cOntraventiOn of this theory, it is
asserted that Mrs. Reed, though tenn
porarily domiciled in California, at
the time of her death, had never given
that Portland was still her home. That
this is true seems to be established by
multitude of circumstances. It is fur
Their pointed out in defense of the will
that under the laws of Oregon (sectiOn
1851, Beliinger and Cotton's statutes),
even a nonresident owning property
in this state may devise or beQueath
it according to the laws of this state,
which impose no limitation upon the
amount that may be given to chari-
table uses.
Mrs. Reeds will was filed in this
county May 81, 1904 That part of the
estate lying within this state was ap-
praised at s1,3S3,91S.S9. There is also
property in California, not included in
this appraisal, which is estimated by
the executor as something over $780,,
900. The total value of the estate is
therefore probably in excess Of ST.
100000. Numerous legacies were left
to relatives, both of Mrs. Reed and
of her husband, and provision was al
SO made in this city The remainder of
the estate, amounting to considerably
over $1,OOO,0O0 was placed in trust for
the purpose of establishing IAN insti-
tuition of learning, having for it's OBJ
ject the increase and diffusion of prac-
tical knowledge among citizens Of the
city of Portland and for the promo
ton of literature, science and art
Five trustees, DR.. r. l.. Eliot, Judge
C. B. Bellinger. c. A. Dolph, William
E. Robertson and Martin Winch, are
charged with the execution of this
trust.

CALIFORNIA HEIRS MAY FIGHT
THE MILLION DOLLAR GIFT
TO PORTLAND.
1t Is Believed That the Endowment
to the Oregon Metropolis Is
All Right.

PORTLAND, Ore. Nov. 4.-Heirs OF
the late Mrs. Amanda w. Reed, whose
magnificent legacy establishing the
Reed institute is the most notable gife
this city has ever received, are said
to be contemplating a contest of the
will. An attorney from Los Angeles
visited this city few weeks ago for
the purpose of investigating the condi-
tons Of the will and the possibilities
Of successful contest, and it is un-
derstood that he came in behalf of GER
tain California heirs, who are dissatis-
fed with the legacies left to them by
the testatrix
Martin Winch, executor of Mrs.
Reeds WILL admits that he has heard
the rumor that contest may be at
tempted, but beyond the rumor he has
heard nothing. Whether the California
attorney concluded to advise fiis clients
" dtlcIupI " UTCdk the Will, OF
whether he concluded that a contest
would be hopeless, is not known.
1t is the belief, however, of promi-
nent attorneys of this city that the
will cannot be successfully assailed,
and that there is no serious danger
that the endowment for the Reed in
stitute will be defeated. 1t is under
stood that the theory of the proposed
contest is that Mrs. Reed was a resi-
dent of the state of California at the
time of her death, and that the laws of
that state, which provide that not more
than One-third of an estate shall be
bequeathed to charitable purposes, will
govern the distribution of her proper

that he wants the laws impartially

His Shouting was Effective.


For years THE PRESS has argued in
favor Of taking the pardoning power
out of the hands of the governor and
vesting it in the hands of pardoning
board. Knowing the objections of the
mass of the people to the creation of
additional salaried Offices. II has struck
US that such a board could be composed
of five-or any desirable number-of the
circuit judges Of the state, who could
sit at regular intervals They certain
ly would, If any set Of men are, be
competent to intelligently pass on appli-
cations for pardons. We know of no
circuit judge in the state who is required
to give more than one-thlrd of his time
to the Office rs Judge; they are paid
fair salary and there could be nothing
wrong in having them sit as board of
pardons, in rotation, IN cases in which
they have not sat rs judges,
But this is not what we intended to
say at the outset, except that recent
pardon of man sent up from this
county accentuates the necessity of such
q board. AZ mentioned in u recent
issue, a man sent up from Crawford for
forgery was pardoned by Gov. Davis.
II there were any mitigating circum
stances in the case emitting him to
executive clenency we have yet to learn
Of them-we do not think he even plays
the fiddle.
When Gov Davis and Judge Wood
spoke here prior to the primary we noted
this man 8 father--a Republican, by the
way -one Of the loudest Davis shonters
there, The application for a pardon
was then on the way But the governor
Is wise politician, A pardon then
might have been harmful to him by
alternating some Of his friends, and by
holding the prospects over the heads Of
the man 8 friends he held them in line,
thus killing two birds with one stone
But the shouting seems to have been
effective.

Age Pension Order.

The age pension order, which
has been issued by Commissioner
E. T. Ware, went into effect
Wednesday, April Is. The order
is as follows:
ain the adjudication of pension
claims under act of June 81, 1890,
as amended, it shall be taken and
considered as an evidential fact,
if the contrary does not appear,
and if all other legal requirements
are properly met, that, when q
claimant has passed the age of
sixty-twO years he is disabled one
half in ability to preform manual
labor and is entitled to be rated
at So per month; after sixty-tive
years at rs per month; after sixty.
eight years at $40 per month, and
after seventy years at sl2 per
month.
ALLOWANCES at higher rate, not
exceeding Sl2 per month, will
continue TO be made as heretofore,
where disabilities other than age
snow a condition Of inability to
perform manual labor"
To make clear the actual effect
Of the provisions Of this order,
about which a large number of
inquiries are being made, the fol.
lowing official statement is made
by Commissioner Ware:
"There appears to be an impress,
sion among many Of the old sol,
dlers that allowances OF pensions
under the age order Of the com,
missioner of pensions are IN add.
ton to pensions allowed hereto
fore. This il an erroneous idea OF
said order. The law prohibits the
payment of more than one pension
to a person for the same period,
and the effect of the order on
those having a pension already
only will be to increase such pen
sion up to the age limit, if the
pension already drawn is below
that amount"
