WHAT BRYAN SAID.

w. J. Bryan, orator and states
nan, CD and recent idol of tn
Democratic party, has had a fey
Kings to say regarding Parker an
he Democratic platform. Thes
quotations are worthy of consider
ltion of every man, young or ole
n Nevada.
Judge Parker is not a fit
man to be nominated by the
Democratic party, or any 9th
er party.-W. J, Bryan in his
Chicago speech"
Honesty in public service,
digilance in the prevention
of fraud, frmness in the pun
ishment of guilt when elect
ed."-Democratic platform, N.
Y.
"As President Roosevelt
prides himself upon his advo-
cacy of honesty in the public
service, and his friends boast
of his vigilance in the pre-
vention of fraud and his firm
ness in the punishment of
guilt, that plank might be re-
garded as an endorsement of
him, but for the fact that it is
contained in a platform that
suggests a candidate to OPP
pose him. w. ]. Bryan in
his Chicago speech.
"The Democratic platform
ignores the income tax; it
fails to indorse the election of
United States Senators by a
direct vote, and almost omits
the plank of the Kansas City
platform denouncing corpor-
ate domination in politics.
The New York platform is a
dishonest platform, fit only
for a dishonest party. No
one but an artful dodger
would stand upon it. The
submission of such a platform
to the voters of a State is an
insult to their intelligence, for
it is intended to deceive them,
and a deliberate attempt to de-
ceive them - especially so
clumsy an attempt as this
platform isis a reflection up
on the brains of those to
whom it is submitted" w. J.
Bryan.
And there are a number of 9th
II things which Bryan has sal
hat Democrats do nat like to hea
epeated. Yet, this is the sam
Bryan who hundreds of intelli
rent people flocked to hear whel
lie visited Nevada this week
They went to hear him stultif
and proclaim himself "a
!rtful dodger" when he advoca
ed the election of Parker an
Davis; they went to hear him pre-
lain himself a man of no brain:
/ dishonest man, and a once Pres
Iential candidate who has falle
o low as to sell his principles t

The East oregonian is able to rec
ord in the following a minor, but
very interesting chapter in the his
tory of the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia. 1t is told by that most in
defatigable historian, George H.
Hines. who returned this morning
from Baker City, where he inter-
viewed Mrs. Miriam Bonney Hibler.
the first discoverer of gold in modern
times in California. This story has
never hitherto been published. but
as to its authenticity there is no
question.
In 1S45 Mrs, Hibler, then Miss Mi
rian Bonney, was one of a party of
immigrants from Missouri who came
overland, headed originally for Ore
gon. AT Fort Hall, Idaho, the party
fell under the influence of a man
named Hastings, an emissary of a
movement to boom California, and
he persuaded many members of the
party to deflect at that point and go
to California. Among those nflu-
enced by Hastings was Miss Bonney's
father Truman Bonney. Miss Bon
ney was then ~ years of age.
The Bonney party went down into
California by the L.assen trail and
made their temporary headquarters
near the old Sutter ranch and fort
on Feather river. SrSl
Only a short time after reaching
Fort Sutter Miriam Bonney found in
the gravel Of Feather river yellow
particles which attracted her atten-
tion, among them a piece as large as
pea. The young girl was intelli-
gent and informed enough to have
more than passing and idle inter-
est in the yellow bits, and brought
them to her father and others

Among those who saw and became
Interested was Gen. Fremont, who at
once and without hesitation coun-
seled great secretiveness, and through
his influence the news of the discov-
cry of what those informed all be-
lieved to be gold, was hushed up.
On the further advice of Fremont,
one DIR. Gildea was entrusted with
the care of the yellow metal and sent
to Monterey to obtain an ASSAY which
would determine its real value. GIL
dea started on his journey. but dis
appeared, and it is believed that he
was murdered, but that the murder
had nothing to do with his mission
to Monterey. The matter then rest
ed until January "a, 1913, Captain
Sutter made the find which has made
his name household word the
world over.
The motive of Fremont in sup
pressing the news of the discovery
should be appreciated at its full
value and for its effects. Fremont
knew perfectly we'll that if full pub
ilicity was given to the discovery, all
his long-laid and careful plans for
the annexation of California might
be completely upset by the despera-
ton with which the Spanish and
Mexican influence would probably
resist the movement which at that
time showed signs of being consum-
mated. -,s-. .--
The Bonneys in the spring of 1916
came to oregon and lived for two
years in Marion county. They then
went to California for a year and en-
gagged in mining, but without any
particular success, and then returned
to Oregon. Mrs. Hiber is a widow
and has lived nearly all her life in
oregon, and is now II years of age.

CANE AND BROOM CORN.
Two New Crops That Are Being
Grown i'm the Echo District by Win
ter Irrigation.

GfONn III the Echo District by Win
ter Irrigation.
Elmer Reeves and w. w. Wolf, re-
siding four miles west of Echo, this
year raised experimental crops of
both amber cane, or sorghum, and
broom corn, both crops maturing and
producing heavy yields, with nothing
but winter irrigation, or flooding of
the ground at the time the seed was
planted.
The sorghum yielded 200 gallons of
finished product to the acre, which
sells readily at rs cents per gallon.
The actual cost of producing an acre
of this crop is $50, leaving net
profit of 500 per acre.
The broom corn is a first-cl ar
ticle of feed as well as a marketable
commodity for broom making. Spec
linens of the growth over IL feet in
height. were sent to the st. Louis fair
and are now on exhibition at the Of
flee of Frank Van Cleve, at Echo. =.
Samples of the corn and sorghum
were exhibited by the Echo delega-
ton at the meeting of irrigators in

So far as the verdict rendered by
the coroner's jury that has been ex-
amining into the cause of the death
of Seymore Swauger, is concerned, IT
throws no light upon the manner in.
which the man met his end. This
morning, after eight days of delibera-
ton and the examination of q wit
necces, the jurymen brought in their
verdict. 1t is strong supposition
that Swauger came to his death in
some foul manner, and the jury made
a strong effort to trace down all cir
cumstances and clues that would tend
to confirm the belief.
