The first criminal prosecution un-

Your Eyes.

Many people are suffering from de-
tectve eyes and do not realize what
the trouble is. That almost con-
slant headache is due TO eye-strain
and can only be cured by glasses
properly fitted. Hundreds of people
continue to squint and strain their
eyes in reading long after they should
have used glasses This is doing per
manent injury to the eyes and should
be stopped. Those who have never
used properly fitted glasses can not
realize the great relief afforded un-
til they try a good pair. Go to Con-
ley's Store and have an examina-
ton made by Mr.. E. f. Henery. who
is a graduate optician of long expe-
rienee, and as competent as is found

Panama Canal

Washington. d. c.. Feb. 11.-Eyery
day that passes finds an addition to
the number of public men and Others
who are OF uhe opinion that 1t will
never be possible for the United
States Government TO construct an
lnter-oceanic canal through Panama.
Senator Morgan. Of Alabama. claim
ed from the start that the Panama
project was not felsible. and that
those who favored it would probably
live to realize that he was right.
Converts To the Alabama Senator's
belief are becoming numerous, and
the present attitude OF the Admin
lstnuon would appear to strengthen
the position Of those who agree with
Mr.. Morgan.
The fact that the Government has
reserved the right to build the canal
through the Nicaragua route and thai
the State Department is becoming ex-
ceedingiy jealous Of the reservation
1t has made. would also indicate that
the Panama Senators Of America
and other high officials are not SC
eock-sure now about the construc-
ton Of the canal through Panama
aB they were last winter
But regariless as to whether the
canal can be built through Panama;
regardless Of the merits OF the en-
gineering project necessary to ao-
compllsh the task. the Administers

/ OAK.
You perhaps would like to know
how I like the county. I like it
well. It is any easy place to make
a living. You can raise as many
cattle as you please and not cost
you cent, for the grass is green
the whole winter and cattle are as
fat as if they had been stall fed
the whole year round. Wheat is
raised without any trouble and will
fetch anything the same as cash.
A wagon from a $1oo to $3.50, 500
for a yoke of oxen, and $50 for
cow. And work will fetch any,.
thing you want at from 81 to 81. 30
per day. ST hundred for making
pals and so on. And although I
was so much opposed to coming as
any one could be, if I were back
there and know what I know now
I should be perfectly willing to
come.
The land you get is sufficient to
pay you for your trouble and if you
were here and John and Warren
and each of them and yourself had
a claim, I should like to live here.
We all have claims joining. What
winter states will do for US I cannot
tell, you know more about that than
do. The Indians appear to be
very friendly, like to have the Bos-
tons come as they call us. You
think it is a long road and so it is,
but the worst is over when you get
started. Be sure and have a plenty
flour, that is the main object, start
with 175 or 200 pounds, and IS
pounds of bacon to the person; fetch
no more beds than you want to use;
start with clothing a plenty to last
one year after you get here if you
have nothing to buy with, after
that you will raise plenty to get
clothing; start with at least four or
five yoke of cattle to a wagon,
young cattle four and five years old
are the best; fetch what coffee, su-
gar and such other things you like;
if you should be sick you will need
them.
write as though expected you
to come, need not do that as I
know Of, although 1 wish you were
here. I can't help but believe that
you would be suited, not that it
will ever do my poor mother any
good but to see her children well
fixed to get a living. That is, if
congress does anything for Oregon.
It is not like any other new country
| "a farm to pay for. It is already
paid for when you get here.
You do not know how I want to
see you, and if I am never to see
you let me hear from you as pos
sib1e. How I want to know how
you get along and what you all are
doing. Tell Lany I expect to see
him any minute.
We have had Etwo weddings in
our family, ROLAND Chambers to
Lovcia Kin5, and Amos King to
Malinda Fullen. Young men have
to pay five dollars for FIVE years if
they don't live on their claims.

hearty here. We are looking for
