THE MYERS QUARREL
SETTLED AT LAST

The Salem correspondent says of
the final settlement of the sensation
al quarrel in the Myers family of that
place:
The guardianship proceedings
brought against Joseph Meyers, the
pioneer merchant, by his sons, Henry
and Milton, were dismissed today.
The Meyers boys paid off their OBJ
legation Of over $4,000 to their faith
er. The loss of the iron box contain
ing their notes has therefore become
of little importance.
Amicable relations have been re-
established among the members of
the Meyers family and, though a
family reunin has not yet been held,
II is expected that former relations
will be resumed in day or so.
This is the elimination of one of
the most sensational family quarrels
ever forced upon public attention in
oregon. Because Joseph Meyers,
over 70 years of age, declared his in
tention to wed Mrs Zenaide Du Ret
te, his two sons, who had succeeded
to the proprietorship Of the dry
goods store he founded, had him ar
rested on a charge Of insanity.
While the insanity proceedings were
pending, Meyers and Mrs. Du Rette
we're married. Then guardianship
proceedings were filed for the purpose
of preventing Meyers from squander-
ing his money.
So enraged by these attacks upon
him by his sons, Meyers determined
to teach the boys lesson, and sent to
Salem on August 20 for his safety de-
posit box, which contained notes CIV
en- by his sons, Milton and Henry, for
amounts aggregating $4,000. His
intention was to press payment of the

EXTENSION DONE.

stalled at Byers' Tail Race.

The work on the embankment for
the extension of the levee to the Mat
lock island is now completed and by
next week it is expected that the toe
wall work and the lower riprapping
will be completed. The remainder of
the riprapping can then ue completed
at leisure.
The levee has been extended dis
tance Of $50 feet and the work is now
SO we'll advanced that there will be
little danger from high water.
The wing wall at the upper end has
now been extended a distance of 500
feet and it is now probable that it
will not be extended further for want
o: funds The toe wall and part Of
the riprapping on the wing wall is
now completed.
Several weeks ago it was announc-
ed by Councilman Joe Ell, chairman
OF the levee committee, that the
wing wall would be built down as far
as the railroad bridges this fall How
ever, that plan has been abandoned
and the remainder Of the extension
will have to be made some future
year.
Most of the repair work along the
levee between the Lee street bridge
and the Main street bridge has also

notes.
The box was sent by Wells Fargo
express, with stated valuation Of
$40 on the box. After the box
reached Portland and before 1t had
been delivered to Mr.. Meyers. who
was then staying there, the box was
mysterlously stolen. But Meyers Sc
nior demanded payment of the notes,
which payment the sons refused un-
less indemnifled against loss by the
notes turning up in the hands of in
nocent holders.
While the controversy was proceed
ing over the question Of indemnity, the
facts regarding the theft OF the box
became public and this brought the
family quarrel to a climax.

When the franchise was first pre-
sented to the council the visitors were
plainly desirous of having it acted
upon speedily and seemingly hoped
to have 1t gone over section by Sec
ton last night However, the mayor
and council were opposed to such rap

nounced that it would be referred to
the ordinance committee,
II was then represented by Mr..
Jones that he had to leave on the

Accordingly it was decided that the
ordinance committee meet at Q
o'clock this morning to go over the
proposition and that the entire coun-
ell meet at II to take the subject up.
In the absence of one member of
the ordinance committee, Mayor Muir

serve in his stead.
Following the close of the council
meeting last night the ordinance COM

ing TO the increase Of the consumption
of articles of Southern manufacture.
There is SO much good about the
project and its purpose is 80 worthy OF
adoption into policy, that we append
portion Of the leahet, explaining the
aims and objects of the organization as
follows:
The Homemade Club is a new organ
ization, the purpose OF which is to en-
courage people to patronize home in
dustries.
Any man, woman or child can join the
Club.
There are no initiation fees. no dues,
no assessments.
1t is estimated that the South is send
ing away 100000 every week day for
articles manufactured or produced out
side the South.
The Homemade Club wants to stop
the outflow Of as much as is possible of
this vast sum and keep it in the South.
Only one thing is asked of members,
and that is that they will call for and
give preference to Southern-made pro-
ducts when buying, provided Home
Made articles are of as good quality and
no higher in price than similar products
made or grown elsewhere.
Just ask for Homemade goods.
A great convention of Southern Man
ufacturers and Merchants will be called
by the Chamber of Commerce for some
Southern city about April. AS there
are more than 10000 manufacturers
and $4,000 merchants IN the South, the
convention will probably be one of the
largest ever held in this section.

SIMPLE HOME RECIPE.

Get from any prescription pharmacy
the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarssparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in bottle and take tea
spoonful dose after each meal and at
bed time.
The above is considered by an emf
nent authority, who writes in a New
York daily paper, az the finest prescrip-
ton ever written to relieve Backache,
Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder, and all
forms Of Urinary difficulties. This
mixture acts promptly on the elimina-
tive tissues Of the Kidneys, enabling
them to filter and strain the uric
acid and other waste matter from the
blood which causes rheumatism
Some persons who suffer with the af-
hictions may not feel inclined to place
much confidence in this simple mixture,
yet those who have tried it say the re-
suits are simply surprising, the relief
being effected without the slightest in
jury to the stomach or other organs.
Mix some and give it trial 1t GER
tainly comes highly recommended. 1t
is the prescription Of an eminent au-
thority, whose entire reputation, it is
said, was established by it.
A druggist here at home when asked
stated that he could either supply the
ingredients or mix the prescription for
our readers. also recommends it as
harmless.

CHANGING.

The time has past when young
men of this country can neglect
the task of learning the details of
an occupation with impunity.
When the country was new and
the population thiniy scattered
over the land, when there was
plenty of room and privileges were
cheap, people could find employ
ment easily. Skilled labor was
scarce and rough hewers were in
plenty. Anyone could become an
artisan. Mechanics, especially in
the west, sprang to the journey
mans position In a day.
But that is changing nov. Pop
ulation ia becoming more settled
and dense. Property increases
rapidly III value. Men are becom-
ing rich, and desire more elegant
business houses, residences, car
riages and artistic appliances Of
civilization of al! kinds. The peo-
pie demand better public edifces.
Mechanics, artists and all kinds
of skilled labor are in demand. He
will win who has a trade best
learned The man of skill is al
ways in demand. The young man
who would be sure OF employment
all the year round, in "hard times"
as we'll as in times of prosperity,
must know how to do something
thoroughly.
1t is we'll to get ali education
A thorough educational discipline
