CAN SWEAR IN
VOTERS MAY REGISTER ON
DAY OF PRIMARIES.
Attorney General Crawford Renders
Decision to This
Effect.

IN reply to a request from County
Clerk Roland, of Marion county, At
torney General Crawford has rendered
decision as to the meaning of tho
primary law in regard to voters who
may not have registered before the
primary election.
The attorney general declares in his
opinion that voter who may not
bave registered before the day of the
primary election can vote by secur-
ing the affidavit of six freeholders, as
is usual at regular elections. He
therefore instructed CLERK Roland to
send out blanks "a" among the cleo
ton supplies, for this purpose.
1t has been doubtful among attorn-
eys aud county clerks whether voters
a t the primary election could 'swear
in their votes on the day of election.
and this opinion from the attorney
general sets the matter at rest and will
be guide TO officers who conduct the
elections.

At the auction sale of horses and
mules being conducted by 7. J. Ennis,
in Walla Walla, one mule brought as
high as $425 and several others sold
for $3.50 to $400. The bidding started

cause of the great demand. Horses
sold at varying prices, the highest be
ing $370, and the lowest $40. Most of
them brought round 5000. Bidding
has been keen for most Of the stock
offered at the sale, aud in several

SAFEBREAKERs ESCAPE.

Adams County Bank

Thought to be Same Who Blew Open
Adams County Bank.
The Pendleton Tribune says the two
men who escaped from the Wallula
Jail few nights ago by prying off
the iron windows with crowbar are
believed to be two of the three men
who blew open the bank at Gun
ningham, in Adams county, carly
yesterday morning and robbed it after
seizing Banker r. w. Parker, who
was asleep in the adjoining building,
and gagging and blindfolding him.
About 8 o'clock yesterday morning
Mr. Parker was awakened by two
men in his room and before he could
escape was captured and bound. A
dirty rag was stuffed in his mouth as
gag.
The robbers then blew open the
bank safe with nitroglycerine, FIVE
charges being fred before the safe
door was blown off. The force of
the explosion wrecked the building
badly and destroyed some of the
money in the safe, which contained
about 81, ZOO.
The men left after gathering up the
scattered money, leaving Parker still
tied and gagged. After an hours hard
work the banker was able to work
himself loose and give the alarm.
The sheriff of Adams county is now
hunting the robbers with posse.
The two men arrested at Wallula were
well supplied with nitro-glycerine and
appliance for wrecking bank safes.
After their escape from Deputy Byrnes
it is believed they headed north.

To Supplant Japs.

It is said to be the plan of the o.

fn this section the only damage
will result in loss of stock and the

for the first time this winter, and

Reports from Milfon say that the
apricot crop will be total failure,
but that the peach crop has not been
damaged to any great extent for the
reason that the buds had not swollen

In western Oregon counties the
storm was equally severe. Consider
able loss is reported by goat raisers.
Shearing had just been completed and
the younger animals are in poor con-
dition to withstand the rigors of the

further advanced than here, is also
seriously damaged.

kins Cove, N. Y.
She will lie composite vessel very iif-
ferent in design from other vessels in the
service, being intended as as effective ice-
breaker, and to be fitted in other respects
for work on this dangerous coast in all
weathers. The bow, instead OF being
| ran-shaped. as has been customary ON
other revenue steamers, is cut away under
water to facilitate getting through the ice
by breaking it down rather than cutting
through it.
Although wood is used for the greater
portion of the vessel, metal has been
worked in wherever il will add to her
lightness and strength without detracting
from the object for which the wooden
| construction was adopted. All wack
beams will be of steel, as will also the
hanging knees, deck stringer plates, hatch
coamings, etc. The stern post, rudder
post and rudder are to be of manganese
| bronze
| The vessel will have three decks ex-
| tending the whole length, the spar deck
being flush forward and aft. The rig will
consist simply OF two pole masts upon
which staysails can be set for steadying the
ship in beam wind. The living quarters
will be very commodious, provision being

officers. In addition to being fitted for
| carrying light battery, she is also to be
fitted for carrying six four-inch breech-
| loading rifles.
| For assistance to merchant vessels large

be provided, as will also complete appa-
| ratus for destroying derelicts. The fol-
lowing will be the principal dimensions
OF the new craft: Length over all, 210

Such thing as weakling is hardly
known in Japan. The wonderful en-
durance of the Japanese soldiers and
sailors in the recent war has bren the
marvel of all nations. Both men and
women are well, happy and strong.
The reason for this, so careful in
vestigators tell us, is that the japanese,
from childhood up, know how to keep
we'll through care of the digestive
system. If they have trouble with in
digestion, heartburn, wind on the
stomach, loss of appetite, sleepless-
ness, headaches. rheumatic pains,
backaches or any of the other troubles
caused by weak stomach, they treat
themselves with some of the principal
remedies that compose Mona, a stom-
ach remedy that has already large
sale in Ellsworth at G. A. Parcher's.
So uniformly successful has the
remedy been in curing all stomach
troubles where it is used in accordance
with the simple directions given with

package to refund the money if Mona
fails to benefit.

LYMAN norsr CLOSED


The Lyman house, one OF Bar Hsrbor's
oldest hostelries, has closed and so far as
the present proprietor. John s. Lyman, is
concerned, for el time. Its long career,
its successful management and its excel
lent reputation make the passing of
Lynam's an event of interest and import
ance in Bar Harbor's history.
John 5. Lyman and his capable wife
opened the Lyman cottages In 1859 with
accommodations for about fifteen guests.
Three additions have been built at differ
cnt times, so that the hotel now has about
seyenty-tive rooms. For thirty-six years
Mr.. Lyman and mis- wife, who died last
September, have conducted the hotel
most acoeptably to the many guests who
have patronixed ii from year TO year.
Some Of the most aristoeratic families OF
New York, Philadelphia and Boston have
made their summer home at Lynam's, and
year after year the same people have re-
turned to the hotel One prominent
Philadelphia lawyer has been at the
house nearly every year for over twenty
years. Some of the members OF the we'll
known Sturgis family have been there
every year since 1878. Many letters have
been received by Mr.. Lyman from his
guests saying kindly things and express
ing regret that the hotel is TO be closed.
While the hotel has not in any one year
yielded tremendous profit, it has made
in every one of the thirty-six years of its
history fair profit. 1t is now closing
with over thirty rooms either definitely
engaged for the coming season or applied
for by parties fully intending to come.
But Mr. Lyman Is no longer young man,
although ago has not made itself appar-
ent in his appearance, and he wishes to be
free from the cares and responsibilities in
eident to the successful management OF a
hotel. He has therefore closed the house,
and will sell the property.

The Dornsh plnoue

The Massachusetts, fish and game COM
mission has made an exhaustive study of
the dogfish problem. 1t is estimated that
the annual damage caused by dogfish to
the fisheries OF Massachusetts, is not less
than 100000
The dogfish as species is actually in
creasing in numbers, and determination is
impracticable, IL not impossible. The
commission says that it does not seem
probable that in New England and the
Middle States any favorable market can
be developed for dogfish as food, and no
encouragement should be given to put
dogfsh on the market under the name of
halibut or other staple fish, or under any
misnomer whatever.
The logical plan would appear to be the
development of some economical method
of making the catching and sale of both
large and small dogfish sufficiently re-
munerative to induce the fishermen to
bring in the dogtish along with the cod,
haddocs, pollock, mackerel and other
valuable fish. The commission concludes
that the matter is of sufficient Importance
to warrant an international commission,
which may determine upon a concert of
effort to control this plague.
