IDEAS OF BRYAN
Lincoln Man Talks Sense About
the Blessings of a Free
Government

1t is cause for Thanksgiving thai
we have so long enjoyed here the
blessings Of free government for which
many are still contending with heroic
effort and immense sacrifice, and with
free speech, free press, and freedom
Of conscience, we are in a position to
maintain the liberties which have
come down to US from the fathers.
The dual character of our govern.
ment has played an important part in
its perpetuity-a more important part
than many suppose. Capitalization
is the greatest foe that popular govern.
ment has to encounter, for it is sup
ported by argument that is plausible
"Can you not trust the people Of the
nation?" asks the friend of centraliz.
alton. care they not the same indi-
duals who make the laws in the var
ious states?" Yes; but the govern
ment is best when it is nearest the
people, and the people can act most
intelligently upon the questions about
which they are the best informed.
The people, through the frames of our
constitution, wisely delegated to the
federal government the powers neces-
sary for the conduct of national
affairs and, as wisely, reserved to the
States and to themselves the right to
control the affairs of the State and
the community:
We can never be sufficiently thank
full for the wisdom manifested by those
who launched our nation upon it's
splendid career and laid the found
alton for the success we have enjoyed
The governmental structure they
framed will never be outgrown, for it
is as we'll adapted to nation of three
hundred millions of people as it was
to nation of three millions-the gen.
eral government welding the nation to-
gether into one harmonious whole,
and the state and local governments
guarding the home, the school, the
property, the liberty, and the life Of
the citizen. From "Why We Ought to
Be Thankful by William Jennings
Bryan, in The Circle for November.

YOUNG man HAS
new THEORY
Human Life Seems Conferred In Stomach.
All Else Is Secondary.

The immense success which has fol-
lowed L. T. Cooper during the past
year with his new preparation has ex-
ceeded anything of the kind ever be-
fore witnessed in most of the leading
cities where the young man has intro
duced the medicine. Cooper has a
novel theory. He believes that the hui
man stomach is directly responsible
for most disease. To quote his own
words from an interview upon his ar
rival in an eastern city: 'The average
man or woman cannot be sick if the
stomach is working properly. To be
sure, there are diseases of virulent
nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis,
diabetes, etc., which are organic, and
are not traceable to the stomach, but
even fevers can, in nine cases out of
ten, be traced to something taken into
the stomach. All of this half-sick,
nervous exhaustion that is now so
common, is caused by the stomachic
conditions, and it is because my rem.
edy will and does regulate the stom.

STRAUS SAYS JAPS IN
HAWAII ARE FRIENDLY

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-Among
the arrivals from Honolulu on the
steamer Asia, which arrived here Sat
urday was Oscar S. Straus, secretary
of commerce and labor, who has been
inspecting conditions in Hawaii. The
secretary said he had investigated the
report that there was a feeling of en-
nifty toward America and Americans
among the Japanese in Hawaii and
found it to be without foundation. In
fact, on the contrary, the Japanese
there apparently entertain the most
friendly feeling to all the United
States and it's people. A few days be-
fore his departure from Honolulu Sec
rotary Straus was entertained by the
business men of the. city. In an ad-
dress on that occasion he declared
himself in favor of strong navy and
advocated the fertilization and i'm
provement of Pearl harbor.

BUYING WOOD IN
BLUE MOUNTAINS
WALLA WAllA DEALERS GIVE
PENpLEToN MEN SLIP AND
GET SUPPLY.

OF the 5000 cords of wood stacked
up along the main line of the o. R. &
n. near Meacham and Kamela, Wall,
Walla dealers have secured nearly
one half, says a man who has recent
ly been up in the mountains near the
points mentioned. Pendleton dealers
have had their eyes Oh the wood but
local dealers have slipped in and Sc
cured nearly half the supply This
competition with Oregon buyers Is
made possible by the fact that there
is practically no difference in the
freight rates between these points.
Whether or not either city will be
up against a shortage is not known.
but the fact that wood is already AT
the top notch in price indicates that
there will be no plentiful supply Wood
cutters are making a good thing on
their summers work and are pushing
the price to the limit. Wood at Kane
la is already bringing $3.50 per cord
and freight to Walla Walla is about
$1.25 more. At this price however.
there is keen rivalry among buyers
and indications are that the price will
soar still higher.

WILL RAISE WATER IN
THE YAKIMA SIX FEET

PROSSER, Aug. 19.-The Prosser
Falls Land and Power Company has
just completed an important improve
ment to the dam across the Yakima
river at this point, which generates the
water power for the electric light
ing system, pumps tne city water and
the water for the irrigating system
and furnishes power for the flour mill
and other manufacturing enterprises.
The company began work on the dam
in 1898 and put a concrete foundation
clear across the river, which was
raised three feet III the summer of
1904 by planking, which was carried
away by the floods of last November.
This work has been replaced by put
ting in massive concrete piers, en-
abling the company to stop the spill
ways, when the river is low, with
what is technically known as need
les"
During the low water splash boards
seven and one-half feet high, will be
erected Oh top of the concrete struct-
ure, which it is estimated will raise
the river six feet This will back TIP
the water as far as Rocky Ford, nine
miles above ProsSer, and not only
furnish more water for power pur-
poses, but also create a magnificent
Lake for boating and pleasure.

OLD MAN SAYS HE
WAS ASSAULTED
w. BUCHOlZ MAKES SERIOUS
CHARGES AGAINST JOHN
NELSON.

Because he defended some property
which John Nelson of this city wished
to take, W. Bucholz, an old man of
81 years, alleges he was thrown down
and nearly stabbed by Nelson.
Bucholz was in the mountains on
the Little COppei above Waitsburg
and about 25 miles from here. Accom-
panied by the four little girls of his
son, Henry, who owns the place. the
old man was at the saw mill there.
The mill used to be owned by Nell
son and Bucholz jointly but the part
nership was dissolved some time ago
and the mill and the lumber there
According to the story of the old
man, Nelson heard of the absence of
the younger BuchOlz from the saw
mill and took the opportunity to go
up and secure some goods which did
not belong to him.
II was working in the old mill, tear
ing down old boards and driving out
nails when one of the little girls came
to me and told me that Nelson was in
the bunkhouse stealing the old horse
power saw mill which belonged to my
son." said the old man who is at St.
Mary's hospital, suffering from his
injuries.
Il dropped my work and went to
the clubhouse where the mill is stored
and told Nelson to leave the mill

business and that the mill belonged
to him. When 1 demonstrated further
with him, he jumped on me and threw
me down. He then tried to stab me
with knife he drew from his pocket
but the oldest of my granddaughters,
who is about IA or Is years of age, saw
the knife in his hand and as I was
holding the other fast, she was able
to take it away from him.
HE then rolled me over and threw
of my ribs. When l got up he still
wanted to fight me but 1 am an old
man of 81 years and l could not fight
him. l had a stick in my hand which
l could have knocked him down with,
but l did not wish to have a crime
like that on my hands.
After that he loaded up some lum-
ber in spite of what l said and started
down the mountain with it. l hitched
up a buggy and came to town and
told my son. He went up and found
Nelson at the Hanson ranch on the
Coppei and unloaded the lumber. 1t
was about midnight them
Mr.. Bucholz is a gray haired old
man, but in spite of that he drove the
25 miles into town in about two and a
half hours. 1t was not until he got to
town that he knew his ribs were brok-
en- The lumber in dispute is some
sold to Dr. Thomas by Bucholz. The
lumber was unloaded and Nelson load
ed up with slab wood. A warrant may
be sworn out for Nelson's arrest.
