CARRIER
PIGEON
RACES
Portland Homing ClubRevives
Sport of Former Days and
Holds Endurance Tests

The Homing Club, of Portland. is
still conducting test races with car
rier pigeons from here to Portland
and yesterday morning two fiocks of
pigeons were liberated from the de-
pot grounds, shortly after the de-
parture of the 11:13 southbound
train. Manager Reynolds, of the
Wells-Fargo express office, is assist
ing the Portlanders in this sort of
sport. About 20 birds were freed
yesterday, and, after circling about
IN the azure blue for little time,
they started northward. the exact
time of their departure being noted.
The races conducted in the past
have proven interesting, but the
number of birds in this last race is
much larger than that which took
part in other races. In the other
races only five or six pigeons made
the fight.
In one of the races held July 4th,
the time made by the birds from Sa-
lem to Portland was l hour and 32
minutes; from Eugene to Portland,
hours and 29 minutes; from Grants
Pass to Portland, hours, minutes.
In a more recent test made during
the hot spell the flight from Salem to
Portland made by five birds averaged
two hours. Considerable interest
has been awakened in this diversion,
which was formerly the only way of
rapid communication.

LASSOES WILD DEER.
Puncher on Swift Pony Overtakes
Big Buck and Captures Him.


John Day, Aug. Grant county
can boast Of one person who can
rope a deer. AL Gibson, of Mount
Vernon, while riding for stock on
the head of Dry Hollow, near Mount
Vernon, saw a big buck leisurely
cropping the grass from point or
headland just ahead of him. He
moved up as cautiously as possible
until the deer took fright and started
to run away, when he put spurs to
the horse and gave chanse. Gibson
had a good horse and gained so
rapidly ON the deer that he began un-
coiling and whirling the rope, and
soon he had the loop snug over the
horns. He was fine specimen,
bearing four points on the horns.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused
by an infamed condition of the mu-
cuous lining of the Eustachlan Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t Is entirely closed.
deafness is the result. and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to Its normal con-
dition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

FOR UNIFORM DIVORCE.
Proposed to Amend Constitution In
Regard to Marriage Laws.

A proposal for an amendment to
the state constitution for the enact
ment of a uniform marriage and di-
vorce law has reached Governor
Chamberlain. The need of such a
law seems to be generally recognized
throughout the country, but there
appears to be two methods by which
this purpose can be attained. One
is by amendment to the federal con-
stitution, and the other by the enact
ment of the law by the different
states. John Gibson Hale, Chicago
lawyer, who is agitating this move
ment, favors the former method,
which, he believes the more feasible,
as ratification by three-fourths of
the states only would be required,
while by the other method each state
would have to enact the same law,
which seems almost an impossibility.
He says: 81 do not favor divorce
except in extreme cases, but realize
that our social conditions make a
reasonable provision for divorce a
necessary feature of our legislative
system" A similar communication
as that received by Governor Cham
berlain is being submitted to the
different state executives, in order to
ascertain the popular sentiment re-
garding the movement.
Governor Chamberlain is of the
opinion that there exists in the
United States an urgent need of a
uniform marriage and divorce law,
and that the submission by con-
gress of a constitutional amend
ment directing the enactment of such
a law is desired by the people of Ore
gon and that the legislature would
eventually ratify such measure.

DISPATCH FROM WASHINGTON

the effect that the Walker river res

AZ yet the dispatch is unvS rifed and

TO FLIGHT.
And Speaks of the Occurrence as Moth
ing Out of the ordinary-Bur-

ter runs deep, was proven by w. s.
Bonnifeld Jr. BonniLeld As a quiet ap.
pearing lad and to his friends mas nev.
or b,en known to. be possessed of unu-
sual daring. However, last night when
midnight marauder walked into the

he was bodily elected by the lad and

ter's fist A hurry-up call was sent for
The sheriff, but by the time the latter
arrived the fellow had disappe ared in
he darkness.
In telling the story to the SILVER
STATE this morning Mr.. Bonnife d
treated the matter as a joke ard not as
a display OF lravery on his part, which
certainly was.
My father was detained Z at the of
fee last night and my sister and were
at home alone. | was awakened from
sleep by hearing my sister shout in an
excited tone, Get out of here. I heard
her coming rapidly toward my room
and / jumptd d out of bed to see what
was the matter. When / reached the
hall / saw a man slouching toward tbs.
door. / run at him, and pushed him
through the partly open door, and as he
turned around toward me on the porch
I struck him on the side of the face
with my fist and knocked him down.
'sThen while my sister watched the
man ! called the sheriff. By the time
the sheriff came the fellow had disap
peared, leaveing his hat blind him. - !
The man acted as though he were
intoxicated, but after | had pushed
him outside he appeared pretty
straight. My sister says that when he
got up, while / was looking for the
sheriff, he walked away very straight
and did no appear to be intoxicated. 1t
may be possible he wandered into our
house by mistake, but am more inclin.
I'd to think that his motive was bur
glary. I never saw the fellow before,
