For Magistrate.

Mr.. Allen G. Perry, of Jefferson
vile, is announced a candidate for
u as ;stTato III the Cumargo anu
Jeffersonville precinct, subjct to the
action of the Democratic primary
Mr.. Perry would have the voter to
consider his record as a Democrat
and more especially as a careful
business man and successful finan-
cier. He believes in economy in
the County affairs as he does in his
own business and nothing cheap or
niggardly in either. Realizing that
the office of Magistrate is one of
the most important offices in the
county he would have the people to
consider his fitness.

Didn't Sell.

The handsome resident property
of w. R. Nunnelley advertised to
sell on Thursday was taken down
without starter. There were
quite number present that wanted
the property but each one waited
for start and hence it was not
made. This very desirable proper
ty is more valuable than the most
of people can afford to buy and
hence there was not multitude OF
purchasers present. However there
are few that want it and we are
sure Mr.. Nunnelley will not be long
in disposing of it at its real value.

MANY RELICS ARE FOUND
Medals Presented. bv Lewis and
Clark In 1905.

While Charles Boylan, prominent
farmer of the Walla Walla river, was
walking through his field recently, he
noticed several human bones protrud-
ing through the service Of the
ground, and on closer examination it
showed that it was an old Indian
burying ground. The soil is very
light, and being sloping. the recent
heavy rains had gradually washed it
away, and had left the bones and
skeletons scattered over the surface.
Over year ago. Mr.. Boylan col.
lected several valuable relics while
engaged in plowing, turning the ar
ticles over with the sod. Among
these most interesting relics was a
plow which bore the mark Of the old.
est plow manufactured in England,
Uhich, { the modern farmer, seems
very clumsy affair. Another article
of interest was cap and ball pistol,
ore Of the first of the kind ever made.
The recent find created great deal
of interest along the Wallawalla river
and a Statesman representative who
visited the Boylan farm found a very
large crowd around the graves of the
one time Indian warriors.
During the search many articles
which denoted the handiwork Of the
white man were found there. Medals
which were pre- sented to the Indians
by Lewis and CLARK when they made
their expedition through this part of
the coast in the year 1906 were un.
earthed. Several knives were dug up
and many military buttons, worn by
members Of the Hudson Bay Company
were found in abundance. Beads,
buttons, nails and even the reeds Of
an accordion were found in plate
at the head of corpse. 1t is remark
ably strange that the metals OF all
kinds are in a perfect state of preser.
walton, and even the cloth on catho-
lie medal is very we'll preserved.
Although tarnished, it is otherwise
in a perfect state of preservation.
The method of burying the dead
varied in every case, as some of the
bodies were found to have been
placed in wagon box. some in balm
bark, some in blankets, while others
were found in plain rough board
boxes. On one skull was found a silk
handkerchief which still retains its
color, although it is supposed to have
been buried for period OF over 30
years The bones were found to be in
a fairly preserved condition consider.

CHANGING MINING LAWS
Bill Relat tli,g to Views Within
Bounda ries Of Placers,

Representative Dixon. Of Montana,
has introduced bill to amend the
laws relating to mineral veins or
lodes within the boundaries of placer
claims. He proposes to change sec
tion 2329 of the Revised Statutes so
as to read: ''No deputy mineral
surveyor making survey for any ap-
plication under this section shall ex-
anime and state in his field notes
whether there is within tine boun-
daries of such claims vein or lode
such as Is described in section 2320,
and If so shall designate the location
of the same upon the plat to be fled
with the same application. -
He also propolses to change section
1888 by inserting the following:
"when a vein or lode such as is do
soribed in section 1920 is shown by
the field notes and plat filed with the
al 1plication to exist within tho bound
ar les of placer claim, an application

The oldest weather THAT Boston

Tax Apportionment for 1904.

The expenses Of the state of Oregon
for the year 1904 will be 81, 49S, $40 10.
OF this amount s273, 3l01.0 will be
derived from miscellaneous sources,
such as the corporation tax, fees, in.
surance tax, fees, sales Of books, ETC..
and the remainder, sl,225, 900, has
been apportioned among the several
counties, to be raised by them by
direct taxes and TO be paid by them
into the State Treasury.
This expense account will be the
largest in the history Of the state,
the nearest approach to it being in
1892, when Sl2l, 345.4l was raised by
direct tax. The magnitude Of the
revenue to be raised in 1904 is due
largely to four appropriations, the
Lewis and Clark appropriation, $780,.
900 Of which will be raised this year !;
the Portage Railway appropriation
Of sl65, 900, and the Cello Canal ap.
propriation Of 800, 600 and the Indian
War Veterans appropriation Of
800, 900. II these four unusual appro-
priations, amounting to $6l5, 600.
were deducted. the total expense
would be bat 1858, 600, and the amount
to be raised by direct taxation
would be but s6lO,Oo0. Aside from
