Down With Pneumonia.

Mention was made two weeks ago of the arrival here of Willard Lyons from Des Moines, Iowa, he being on his way to the copper fields north of here to do assessment work on some mining claims. At the time of his arrival he was suffering from a severe cold, and knowing the good chances one has here-who is not acclimated-to contract pneu- monia, we warned him againstsleep- ing out. He told us he would try to break up his cold, but we were not surprised last Saturday to learn that on Friday, the day before, he had been brought in from the mines, suffering with a severe attack of pneumonia. He was taken to the Cottage House, where. under Dr. Rounseville's care he has been for the past week and is getting along as well as one in his condition could be expected to do.

GREENBACKS WERE POISON
Salem Cashier Had Bad Eye From
Handling Dirty Paper Money.

Claud Catch is carrying around a
bandaged and painful eye that has
been under the care of the doctor for
day or two. 1t came about from the
handling of paper money at the Ladd
& Bush bank, where Mr. Catch is en-
ployed and has been for so many
years. Mr.. Catch is usually very
careful in the handling of paper
money, as are all bank people who are
acquainted with it's dangers. But this
time he rubbed his eye after counting
a package Of 'greenbacks" and con-
veyed a germ thereto, which caused
the soreness, requiring the attention
of the physician and the bandage.
There is nothing more filthy than
money, and especially paper money.
1t goes everywhere, into all sorts of
dirty places, being possessed and
handled by all degrees of filthy and
diseased people. The paper used in
the making Of bank notes and green
backs is of a kind that easily collects
and retains filth and foreign matter.
Senator Ankeny Of Washington,
who owns several banks at Walla
Walla and other towns in the Ever
green State and Eastern Oregon, when
he was younger and less wealthy
man, and did a good deal of his own
work in his original bank, had a bad
experience in the handling of paper
money. He had a sore on his face.
and disease germs were conveyed from
the paper money to the sore by care
less movement of the hand which re-
suited in a serious breaking out and
the doctors had to do some cutting
and some burning with powerful
chemicals before they got rid of the
sore that came from the 'greenback"
germs.-Salem Statesman.

WILL ADVERTISE DALLAS
Portland Telegram Is Preparing to
Issue Special Edition for
This City.

Albert Hess, of Portland, is in
Dallas this week in the interest of the
forthcoming Dallas industrial edition
of the Evening Telegram. This edition
will contain an illustrated write-up of
the city and its surroundings, and
will set forth in an attractive manner
the industrial and commercial ad-
vantages of Polk's county seat. Large
numbers of these papers will be
scattered throughout the country, and
an ample supply will be sent to st.
Louis for distribution among the
visitors at the big Exposition. The
Telegram has printed special editions
Of this character for Eugene, The
Dalles, Astoria, Boise, Idaho, and
other enterprising cities of the North
west this year, and the work in each
instance has been highly satisfactory
to the city having it done. Mr.. Hess
is an experienced newspaper man and
a forceful and polished writer.

Dry Weather Does Damage.

The Government weather bulletin
for the week just past says the dry
winds have been damaging to the
fields All growing crops need rain,
and unless it comes soon spring grain
and the second crop of hay will be
unusually light. Fall grain is fill
ing nicely, but spring grain is head
ing short. Haying has made rapid
progress during the week, but nearly
everywhere the returns show a falling
off from previous expectations. Pas
lures are drying up, but feed is still
good and stock continues in excellent
condition. Hops, although needing
rain, have made fairly good progress
during the week.

w. @. Jackson has succeeded Ed
Biddle as manager Of the Dallas
Foundry and Iron works, having
taken charge of the plant and busi-
ness July /, Mr.. Jackson is an exper-
fenced machinist and iron founder,
He was born in New Haven, Conn,
April "a, 1869, and first started out in
life as a machinist's helper in New
Haven railroad shop When 16 years
of age, he wandered into the Middle

top, and 245 feet high. 1t was built
for the Pennsylvania Steel Company,
at Texas, Maryland. He came to the

at mooring in Manila the morning Of

at mooring in Manila the morning of
the 18th.
We had no warm weather until we
left Hong Kong, and though the
China Sea is usually rough, the trip
was like sailing on lake. 1t was in
the China Sea we saw the first flying
fish. Though they are small it was
interesting to watch them dip to the
water and moisten their wings or fins.
They cannot fly after their wings get
dry.
The scene Of Dewey's great victory
is now as quiet and peaceable as
though no battle had ever been fought
there. Nothing remains of the wrecked
Spanish feet. 1t has been raised and

We arrived at Dagupan on the 18th.
1t is a city of about $1,000 native in
habitants and probably rs Americans,
situated in the province of Pangasinan,
at the extreme Northern end of the
Manila railway and on the North
western coast of Luzon
The climate here at present is warm,
but not so warm as a person from the
states might think. Ninety two above
zero is the highest that the thermometer
has registered this year. We are
only about two miles from Lingayen
Gulf, so we get a nice breeze every
afternoon. 1t rains here about every
second or third day. The cost Of liv-
ing here is no more than in the States
if one will get the staple articles from
the civil commissary. OF course beef
and foods that are required to be kept
on cold storage are expensive. paid
go cents for two pounds Of meat this
morning. To remove any doubt that
may arise in the minds of your
readers, 1 will say that the prices quoted
in this letter are in U. S. currency.
Our cook, a native, does the cooking,
cleans up the house and does part of
our marketing, and other errands for
$500 per month. House rent is $1,000
per month :. sweet potatoes, 40 cents
per box.
In passing will say that the public
market place on market days, Tues
day and Friday, is a place of great
interest to one who has never seen
anything of the kind. This place is
about twice the size of the courthouse
square in Dallas, and is inclosed by a
bamboo fence. 1t is from this market
place that many Of the native and
Chinese merchants get their stocks. 1t
is great saving to buy from the
market place.
All the public schools of this Pro
vince are closed, but there is Summer
Normal running here, and it is in this
school I am employed at present
Began work here on the 18th and will
teach here until the 10th of June At
that time I will pre- badly be sent to
some other town in this Province.
Mrs. Nichols will begin work also at
that time.
We are both in good health at
present, and are located in very
good part of the Islands. Will write

this country and its people.

Protest For Oregon City.

Senator Mitchell and Senator Fulton
have both filed protests with the In
terror Department against removal of
the local Land Office from Oregon
City to Portland. Senator Fulton op-
poses the change outright and Senator
Mitchell speaks for parties interested.
A thorough hearing will be arranged
before the matter is decided. If room
can be found for the Office in Portland,
the officials are very much inclined to
order the removal from Oregon City.
The whole matter seems to hinge on
the question of available space in the
new custom house.
