It is said that Secretary Hitchcock
OF the interior department is shortly
to retire from the presidents cabinet
and some Of the eastern papers are
asking why. They ought to know why
without being told. He is going the
way of every other public man who has
dared to prosecute republican thieves
Hitchcock has been after the Oregon

and so will Hitchcock be let out, but
II will all be done in way not to let

the democrats and republicans are so
much alike thatsit is difficult to keep
them properly labelled.
The Lincoln democrats are deter
mined to keep up the record that was
made at st. Louis. At ST. Louis the
democracy .repudiated the principles
that they had been advocating most
Hereby for eight years and adopted
the principles of the republican party.

fails to make an ass of itself when
ever it has the slightest opportunity.
There is field for another party here

A party that will insist on decent city

) Big Money For
Kansas Oil Industry {

The Bueno-Ventura Oil and Gas Co.
has been organized for the purpose of
sinking wells upon the tract of land
described. Stock is being sold at 20
cents per share-par value $1.0O. All
of the money received will be used for
sinking the wells and marketing the
oil. Every shareholder will be treated
alike and share, proportionateIy to
amount invested, in the profits. All the
stock issued is fully paid and non-as
sessable. There can be no further liza
bility against the shareholder than his
original investment
The Independent regards this stock
as offering as safe speculative invest
ment as any that can be made in that
class OF investments. With oil wells
almost surrounding this tract of land
lit would seem certain that well sunk
to the proper depth would strike the
same oil lake and be great producer.
OF course The Independent can not.
and does not guarantee to it's readers
that great paying oil wells will be
found on this land. No one can say
what the conditions may be 1000 feet
under the surface of the earth until he
has drilled into it. The only thing it
does say is that the surroundings Of
this land indicate most strongly that
it is good oil land, that there seems
every probability good oil wells will
be found upon it, and The Indepen.
dent will guarantee that money re-
ceived by it from the sale of the shares
OF this company will be judiciously and
honestly expended in promoting the in
terests OF the subscribers to the stock.
1t is most gratifying to The Indepen-
dent to note the confidence exhibited
in 1t by it's patrons, in the matter Of
subscriptions SO far received for shares
in this company. Such confidence will
not be abused.
If you have little money for specu-
lation send your order for as MANY
shares as you desire. There is a good
chance that a small investment now
may afford you handsome income all
your life.

not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When the
tube is infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and, unless the inflammation can
be taken out, and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

English Roads the Safest.

They manage their railways better
in England. With one-tenth our mile
age, but with many times our density
of passenger travel, Englishmen have
a record of 10 months without losing
a life in n rtain accident. The reason
is that they do things in the autocrat-
ic, arbitrary English manner, which to-
tally disregards the inalienable rights
of citizen to be massacred by the rail
roads. Parliament compels the adop-
tion of the block system. A supervis-
ion maintains which has no parallel in
the United States. Here in America,
the railway inspectors for 100000 miles
of railroad are just Is in number. Here
no official exists who has as duty or
even is authorized to say to a railway
officer: "You are operating your rail
road unsafely. Stop"
In Great Britain the board Of trade
takes the place of the interstate com
merce commission. The chief inspect
or of the board-Colonel Yorke is his
name just now-is a gentleman of mill
itary habits, and what he says goes,
and goes instanter. Behind him is the
whole power Of the British army. Not
long ago an inspector, impressed by GER
tain dangerous conditions in branch
of the London Subway, telephOned to
Colonel Yorke. The colonel is not Civ
ing TO expostulating or corresponding.
He sent peremptory orders to stop the
running Of all trains on the spot, and
not q wheel was driven until the de-
feet was corrected.

SMOOT CASE
NEARING
IS THE END

Washington, Jan. 2S.--Attorney
Worthington this morning resumed his
argument in behalf of Smoot. After
reviewing number of charges against
the client he said 1.-THE last charge
against Smoot struck me with horror,
and | re-read it this morning to make
sure l understood it correctly. That
that man should be considered unwor-
thy of being a senator, because he in
closet seeks the guidance of what Mr..
Taylor considers "a good, allwise and
powerful Creator is inconceivable. !"
He said, in spite of all promises of pro-
testants to prove the numerous plural
marriages since the manifesto, they
had proven but one case, that of man
named Johnson to Miss Kennedy in
1896, and that marriage was procured
by fraud. The counsel said the Nor
mons had accepted the fall of polyga-
my and no longer encouraged it.
In closing his argument Worthing
ton exhorted the committee not to pun
ish the young Utah for the sins of old
Utah. Chairman Burrows thanked the
counsel on both sides for their assist
ance, and asked that the briefs be made
as full as possible. Saturday next was
set as the probable date of filing the
briefs.

AMONG
FISHERS
Hon. Won Der HELEN One of

The following amendment to the fish
cries laws was placed on the desk of a
number of the member, including Won
der HELEN, of Jackson:
Section 2. The owner or owners of
the tide lands, and riparian owners
above tide water on each of said riv-
ers, as appurtemances thereto, shall
have the exclusive right and privilege
of fishing for salmon with seins and
nets and hauling and landin seins
and nets on said lands, and no person
or persons shall anchor said nets, or
put or place any obstruction or OBJ
structions whatever in the water
fronting on said tide lands in
any place or places where said tide
land are used for hauling or landing
seins
Section 8 provides penalty of $50
to $500 fine, together with costs, or by
imprisonment in the county Jail from
25 days to six months, or both fine
and Imprisonment, in the discretion of
the court.
The genial gentleman from Jackson
passed it over to the chairman of the
committee on fisheries with this note:

A Simple Justice.

1t seems ill-advised at this time for
the press to give so much publicity to
little incident in police circles which
is of no consequence. The statement
that Frank o Donald, who was wanted
at Portland for trial on charge Of at
tempted burglary is unnecessary 1t is
true that O'Donald was in Salem, at
the home of his parents, and during the
time visited town frequently, being at
the state house and the postoffice and
on the public streets All who know his
misfortune only sympathize with the
case, and the attempt to make the
young man appear in worse light than
he really should is a great injustice,
His personal misfortunes are known TO
his friends, and all are only too glad
TO overlook them, or assist him TO get
right before the public. II is believed
that the charge will not be sustained
when he comes up for examination at
Portland, as his associate has already
been discharged. His old friends will
be glad TO know that the accusation
that he is addicted to the use Of NOR
phine is no longer true, if it ever was.

The Astors and the Exposition.

The managers of the Lewis and Clark
exposition, which will be held at Port
land, Ore, next summer, have written
many letters to the Astor family of
New York and London, and have ex-
! planned to them how grateful would
be any encouragement or assistance rem
dered by that family to the promoters
of the exposition. Thus far there has
been no reply made from any member
of the family to any citizen of Port
land. This matter seems somewhat
strange, for there are many of us
who refuse to believe that the Astor
family, wealthy as it is, has ceased
| to be American at heart. America was
kind to John Jacob Astor, and has been
kind to all his descendants To be sure
that early Astoria venture, which gave
the United States it's hold on the far
northwest territory, was almost the
only failure made by that shrewd mer
chant, John Jacob Astor. 1t cost him
more than $4,OOO,O0O. 1t helped gain
for America very much more than that,
and America has paid the Astors since
then very much more than that That
failure and that loss occurred 100 years
ago. | do not think the Astor family
ought to lay it so seriously to heart. |
am sure if I had lost $4,000,0O0 100
years ago ! should not mind it now,
especially if | were able to console my
self with the greater part of New York
and a slice of England If the Astor
family out of their abundance should
prove American enough to help on so
distinctly American and distinctively
worthy an enterprise as the Lewis and
Clark exposition, | am sure the musk
rats, marten, otter and beaver of Amer
lea would rise up and call them blessed,

larly supposed to have outgrown its
