BATTLE NOT WON AT fTon.
Famous Conflict Of Waterloo Was Eol
Fought Out At school which
Wellington Attended.

DR.. Miller Mcguire repeats in
I. the Grand Magazine a statement
which has often been made, thai
the duke Of Wellington never al
any time made the remark that
/, waterloo was won on the play.
ing fields Of Eton. Certain it il
that Wellington himself knew
very little either of the playing
fields or the cIasgr00ms of Eton.
II Is quite true that he was brief
period at the famous school, but
when his mother discovered that
be was making no progress what
ever there, either at games or at
lessons, he was removed at about
the age Of Is and sent to another
school, in Brussels, where he
learned most of what he knew. AT
least a score of the leading off.
GERS Of the British army who were
the dukes contemporaries knew
even less about Eton than he did.
As for the non-commissioned Of
ficers who served at Waterloo,
and who, as ever, were the back
bone Of the British army, it may
be assumed that very few among
them had much acquaintance with
the Eton playing fieldsl Coming
down to quite recent days, Lord
Roberts was for brief space of
eight months at Eton, which be
left when he was Ia years old,
whereas Lord Wolseley was edu-
ated entirely at private schools ir
Dublin. In fact, DIR. Mcguire
would maintain that, if man who
has gone through the ordinary
curriculum Of an English public
school does win a name in military
annals, it is rather in spite Of than |
on account Of his early education. |
Nearly all the famous generals in
history, he points out, have been
men Of wide general attainments
and culture. ahf

Violation of Sanctuary.

A Stranger admitted below the
bar of the British house of lords
was required to deposit his um-
brella with one Of the attendants.
The umbrella was not to be found
afterward, and the owner brought
action in court to recover its
value. He was successful, and
was awarded five dollars. But
this was violation OF sanctuary
which the lord chancellor would
not tolerate. Summoning the
plaintiff and his attorney to the
bar of the house, he only refrained
from committing them both to
prison on their making humble
apology and refunding the
amount they had gained.

Wonderful Engraving.

A novel experiment for the pur-
pose of testing the strength of
high explosives is the placing Of
fresh plucked leaves between two
plates of panel steel, and explod-
ing dynamite cartridges on the
upper plate. The recoil in such
cases is so great and sudden that
the upper plate is driven down
ward with such force and rapidity
as to catch exact Impressions of
the leaves before their delicate
ribs have time to give way to the
force Of the blow. This novel
method of engraving is one Of the
wonders Of the century.

HUNT RANCH is SOLD.
Two Large Deals in Land in West End
of County.

Two land transactions Of magnitude
have Just been concluded here and
they will have an important effect
upon the future of the section near
Echo. Last spring William Doherty

the large Hunt ranch near Echo. Ac-
cording to James Johns the deal for
that place has now been fully con-
summated, the land being sold to those
people by the Oregon Land CON
struction company for the price of
s16O. 900. The ranch consists of 5000
acres.
The following statement of deal
by the Hinkle Ditch company has
been made by the officers of that cor
poration:
on November % the Hinkle Ditch
company entered into contract with
]. Frank Watson, president of the
Merchants National Bank Of Port

acres of land for $4,000. The lands
are known as the G.. w. Hunt lands
lying on lower Butter creek and along
the Umatilla river below the mouth Of
Butter creek.
The Hinkle Ditch company also
purchased the contracting interest In
the Butter Creek Water Co. from
Harry c. Rogers.
The interests Of the Hinkle Ditch
company, Butter Creek Water COM
pany and G. w. Hunt interests are
merged in the Hinkle Ditch company
The lands will be placed on the

Bishop Henry Barkley, of Port
land, one of the most picturesque fig
ures in oregon, who has been called
the black eagle OF Marion county"
because of his keen black eye, black
curls and keen intellect, has been in
the city today on a tour of the in
land empire.
Bishop Barkley is bishop of six
northwest states, Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho, Montana, California and
Utah. for the United Brethren church
and has been one of the most active
and energetic political workers in the
state of Oregon as well as an able
and successful church man.
For the past 90 years Bishop Bark
ley has been in Oregon politics a
large part of that time a member Of
the legislature and a chief figure in
some of the most historical strug-
giles in that body.
In 1895 he was one of the leaders
of the faction which refused to vote
for Senator Dolph and while classed
as a republican he has always stood
aloof from caucuses and rings of ev-
cry sort He is an able debater, a
far-seeing politician, keen and alert,
and has eXerted a strong influence
for good in the state.
He is now ahead of his party in
many lines, believing in most of the
radical reforms which are being
in the interest of the
neODle and is sOcialistic to a degree
In the legislature Bishop Bark'ey
engaged in some of the finest foren-
sic tilts recorded in that body. In
the debates and battle surrounding
the senatorial election in 1895 Rish-
op Barkley and Henry McGinn Of
Portland, who is now under charges
for contempt of court. were leaders

N. Y. Campaign Funds

William R. Hearst spent 1886, $40. 30
in his campaign to be Governor ofNew
York. That includes $57, 900 given to
the Democratic State Committee and
sos, o7O22 to the Independence Lea
que. Charles E. Hughes spent S61S. SO
and was elected. The comparison is
striking, but that is not all. The Re-
publican campaign committee spent
1888, 923 to defeat Mr.. Hearst. j. P.
Morgan, Levi P. Morton & Co., each
gave $40, 1000, Andrew Carnegie and
John D. Rockefeller S., ZOO each, also
other men interested in trusts and cor
porations.
There is this difference. If Mr..
Hearst had been elected he would have
represented his own ideas and his own
money. Mr.. Hughes's election was
procured by the expenditure of other
PERSONS interested in corporations and
trusts and is therefore nlt to
the predat'ry class.

FavOrs Return To Old System.

Experience seems TO have demon
strated that the combining of the spring
and fall elections was a mistake. Nc
beneficial results have resulted from
the change. The coming Legislature
would do well to restore the spring
elections and do away with the present
red tape connected with the nomina-
ton of township candidates. The nom-
ination at a regular primary election
for that purpose is all right, but to
compel a mar to get out a petition
signed by ten men and have it filed
with the township clerk ten days before
the nominating election in order to run
for poundkeeper is all nonsense.

AS 30,362 persons voted at the last
