ATHENA. AUGUST -. 18,l905

Wealth and all the luxuries wealth
can bring though now in their grasp,
cannot lure David Briggs and his
family from their simple home on the
slopes of the Siskiyou mountains,
southern Josephine county. The
Briggs family, says the Ashland Rec
ord, though wealthy by their last
summers strike and good fortune,
have no desire for city tumult and
CRIME, or fine raiment and stylish
'turnouts. y They are supremely con-
tent in the freedom of the mountains,
the genuine freedom that was all their
own before Ray Briggs stumbled
across the great pile of gold that
made them wealthy in day. With
the arrival Of summer, the family has
left the mountain home and made a
camp on placer claim upon the ridge
of the Siskiyou near the original
claim. From their tent they look off
across the grandest array of noun
tains, glittering peaks and pine-whisk
cred ranges the west affords. II
wouldn't give this for the grandest
mansions ever built, " the elder Briggs
declared few days ago, as he sat in
tho tent door and swept his hand out
over the vast domain all his own.
The sun was setting aud all the sur
rounding mountain peaks-Preston,
Tennant, Gray back and Shasta--were
crowned in brilliant splendor. Over
the sputtering campfire built of sea-
soned snow brush and dead pine, Mrs.
Briggs cooks the meals, and the fami-
ly that can write its check for thous-
ands sit happy and contehted about
the simple baord. Just once Ray
Briggs ventured down to the city. 1t
was i'll Portland, while the races were
in course, and one visit to the track
and a meeting with a trio of ''sharps"
was sufficient to convince him all the
more thoroughly that the mountains
and the people of the mountains are
the best the world affords. SO the
summer will be spent on the claim
and in the same dear old way.

any particular whatever, single
word in this sinister, malicious, and
acrimonious accusation. The policy
pursued by the Press is of its own
making. The paper is owned and con-
trolled by Boyd, and neither the sa-
looms, the Civic league nor Mr.. Bert
Huffman can hedge, frame up or
dictate what its policy shall or shall
not be, unless they buy it, and as yet
it has not been placed on the market
For every man on the Press sub
scription list that Mr., Bert Huffman
or his solicitor can find who will say
to the editor of the Press that the paper
has abused him or treated him up-
fairly, we will give him receipt in
full together with years subscrip-
ton free to the East Oregonian. Mr..
Bert Huffman, here is your chance to
boom your subscription list and at the
same time substantiate your state
ments.

a NEW CANDIDATE.
Maverick. J


A democratic candidate for con-
gress has emerged from the desert.
James G.. Graham desires to represent
the second district Of Oregon in the
congress of the United States. He is
planning the circulation of a petition
among the voters Of this district,
which, when signed by ten per cent of
the democrats hereabouts and filed
with the secretary of state, will en-
title his name to place on the demo-
cratic primary ballot. At the direct
primary election next April, should
Mr.. Graham receive majority of the
democratic votes cast, the state can
vasing board, presided over by the
secretary of state, shall declare him
the regular nominee of his party.
Old friends of J. II. Graham, of
whom there is legion, are not sur
prised at his political aspirations.
In Colorado, where James FL. spent
ten useful years of his useful life, he
was an ace-high politician. AS chair
man of the Colorado democratic sena-
torial committee, he was pretty
good size corn on the cob. Any man
who has a hand in the making of
United States senator's, is some few.
In Colorado Springs and Cripple Greek
Jim" Graham was some few.
Graham is Kansan, born in the
sunfiower state about 40 years ago.
His career as western mining man
began in Cripple Greek, where he en-
gineered that famous drainage tun-
mel in Grand Encampment, Wyom-
ing, and in Eastern Oregon, to which
latter place he came five years ago.
He was the discoverer of the phono-
litic Camp Rastus, and as representa-
tive of Pennsylvania syndicate, is
engaged in development thereof.
Everybody in Baker county knows
Jim" Graham, and before the cam
paign of 1905 is ended, every body in
the second congressional district will
have heard of him. It is not incon-
ceivable that majority of these peo-
ple will vote for him. In which
event there will be no particular rea-
son for great grief, because "Jim"
Graham would make good congress-
man.
The aspirations of democrat to be
congressman from the second dis
trict of Oregon have, in the past, not
been easy of fulfllment Colonel
William Fountain Butcher, the demo-
cratic war-horse of the bunohgrass
region, was the party nominee two
years ago. He opposed Hon. J.
Newt Williamson unsuccessfully.
That, of course, was before Heney's
time. Likewise it antedated the dis
ruption of machine politics in Oregon.
Col. Butcher butted up against the
machine There may be republi-
can machine next year and Jim"
Graham may butt thereagainst. On
the other hand, there may not be-the
presumption is strong in favor of the
negative. History may, therefore,

LAND .oR THE LANDLEss.
(Salt Lake Herald. +,

(Salt Lake Herald 4.A
Nearly 10000 names were register
ed for land in the Uintah reservation
when the time for registration came
to the end Saturday. Not more than
half that number, and it is possible
that the proportion is even smaller,
have an idea of becoming land own
ers. Thousands of people registered
with the hope of winning a choice
selection and disposing of it later,
after going through the formalities
required by the government.
II half the reports regarding the
character of the land to which the
registrants will have access are true,
there is very little good ground on
the reservation. Naturally there will
he many disappointments. Many Of
those who want to build homes will
be denied the privilege, many who
draw lands will find that it ia not
worth having. But the opening can
not fail to be of benefit to the state,
because it will bring to it tsome citizens
who will materially add to the tax
able wealth of the state.
And speaking of public lands, they
are to have great land sale in Texas
soon. The state has 5000, 900 acres
of what is said to be very fine soil
that 1t is going to place on the market
September !. No purchaser will be
allotted more than 160 acres. SO that
large purchases will be impossible,
and the land must be occupied within
ninety days of the date of the sale.
The terms of sale are of the easiest
character.
It is provided that one-fortieth Of
the price must be paid at once. Then
the buyer has forty years in which to
pay the balance, with interest at five
per cent. Some Of the land will be
sold as cheaply as dollar an acre
and none of it is very expensive.
The land is not confined to any section
of the state. 1t is to be found in prac-
tically every county, though the great
er part is up toward the northern
boundary.
While the soil is not productive now
it is said that with irrigation abun-
dant crops can be raised and plenty Of
water is accessible. The money de-
rived from the sale will go into the
school fund, part OF which is to be
used in the construction and mainten-
ance of great university. IS.

In one of his periodical spasms, Mr..
Bert Huffman, of the East Oregonian,
calls into question the "moral back
bone" of the county papers. He digs
into the Weston Leader, the Adams
Advance, and says Of this paper:
"The Athena Press has abused every
decent man on its subscription list be-
cause the moral element i'll that lovely
country town had secured an order to
enforce tho law against two or three

FREE TRAINING OF NURSES.

By the terms of fund to be admin
istered in connection with the Phila-
delphia School for Nurses, Wither-
spoon Building, Philadelphia, a num-
Der OF young women from every coun-
ty will receive free training in nurs-
ing. 1t is planned to ultimately
reach and help in this way every vii
lage and township.
The young women will be provided
with room, board, nurse uniforms and
all the refinements of a well-appointed
Christian home. At graduation the
diploma of the school and the order of
the Red Cross will be conferred, quail
flying for practice in any state or
country; the railroad fare will then be
paid back home.
Those applying and chosen to re-
ceive the benefits of this fund will be
given two years training with rich
experience in nursing the sick poor of
the city under skilled leaders. The
term may be shortened to eighteen
months by taking preliminary course
of six months reading and study at
home. A special short course enables
young women to quickly qualify them
selves for self support and substan-
tial income.
In addition to regular nursing, the
young women are taught no VITO pre-
serve their own health; how to rec
ognize, avoid and destroy contagion;
how to establish and maintain per-
feet sanitary conditions about the
home; they are prepared for positions
as office nurse and physicians assist
ant; they get practical knowledge
of city mission movements, deacon
ness training, college settlement work,
and are trained for special positions
of trust in institutions.
The school is ten years old and is
endorsed by physicians, leading edu-
Gators and prominent men throughout
the country.
