readers of The Times of long ago:
! stood on the banks of the Klickitat,
On an Indian camping ground,
Where dusky band of Yakimas
Had pitched their tents around;
They could see the bluffs of the an
cient fort
Where their fathers had bent the
bow,
Where the white and red had fought
and bled
In battle long ago.
They could see the white mans
furrQwed fields
They knew they could hunt no more,
And heir hearts grows cold like
snowy peaks -
That dotted the landscape Ger;
They sadly gazed on the busy road
Where once they followed the trail,
While in the twilight cleaned
The spires of Goldendale.
That night saw them move their
camp
And ride in solemn tread,
AS if they were chanting a requiem
In honor of the dead.
They turned their trains to the north
ern hills
Where now they are forced to stay,
And only the dying embers show
Where a nation camped that day.
Like phantoms grim where the will
lows shade
Where the path runs into the stream
| saw them cross it one by one,
In the moonlight's silvery CLEAN.
This say is an emblem true,
Of all the faded race;
They are crossing the river one by
one
While. the white men take their
place.

Fatally Burned

Miss E..ta Williams age 20,
daughter of w. A. Williams
was fatally burned yesterday
afternoon at her rooms over
Shiley's Drug Store. She has
been affected with spells of
melancholia since the death of
her mother five years ago and
lately has threatened several
times to take her own life. Her
father and Mrs. Frank Milliard
half sister of the deceased and
Mrs. H. P. Hansen were in one
OF the front rooms visiting yes
terday afternoon when Eta
made an excuse to leave the
room. Her continued absence
aroused their suspicious and
the father went in search of
her. He found her door locked
and after breaking open the
door he discovered Eta
wrapped in flames. She had
poured gasoline on her clothes
and had ignited them with a
match. The flames were ex-
tinguished as soon as possible
but not before she had been
fatally burned. Drs. Boughton
and McGavren were called but
little could be done for her.
She died at eleven o'clock last
night. The funeral will be
held at 2:30 Tuesday at the late
horne OF the deceased.

1t is rumored that the Ford
Manufacturing Company, now
located at Vandalia, ILL.,, and
engaged in the manufacture of
the celebrated product known
as ''Ford's Galvanized Rubber
Roofing" and other roofing
materials, tarred felts, building
papers, etc, is considering mo-
wing from Vandalla, and erect
ing the largest mills in the
world for the production of
their products at some point
probably in Illinois, Indiana or
Iowa, where the proper facili-
ties in railroad connections and
water and coal can be obtained.
1t would seem that this affords
a fine opportunity for CONNER
cial clubs or other civic bodies,
located in good, live towns in
the states named, to open cor
respondence with the Ford
Manufacturing Company whose
general offices are located at
Chicogo, III. and secure the 10.
cation of this great industry,
which has outgrown its present
facilities.

Communicated.

Communicated.
The following communication
although not written for publi-
cation, yet it contains much
that should challenge the seri-
Gus consideration of every man
in the community. Its author
is the editor of the Clarinda
Herald, and a citizen of Page
county for many years, and the
President and Manager of the
Lisle Manufacturing Co, en-
ploying many men in the busi-
ness, and we'll qualified to Judge
on the subject of which he
writes:
Clarinda, Ia, March II, o..
Dear Sir: was quite interes-
ted some days ago in reading a
letter from Mr.. J. H. South in
the Times on the subject of the
open saloon in the Valley, and
in Harrison County, and still
more interested in the editorial
of cat It Hot and Heavy" in
the Daily Times. In my Wis
it's to the Valley | could not help
contrasting the conditions pre-
vailing there with those in Cla-
rinda, for the saloons we're very
prominent featl7re Of your town
and the effects SO apparent on
the streets. The time was when
the saloon was the ruling fac
tor here, but with the passage
of the prohibitory law the sa-
loon was driven out and has
never had a chance to get a
foothold since. Men who were
so situated as to be able to fig
'ure it out showed to the salts
faction of the voters that the
money collected from licenses
was all used up in the police
expenses, and that the town
had heavy expenses besides the
support of the police force that
were directly chargeable to
the saloons. So looking at it
from the purely financial side
the voters decided that the sa-
loon was a loosing proposition
and put it out forever. | infer
from Mr. South's article that
the saloonists are using the same
arguments there that were used
here. viz, that city improve
ments must be stopped and the
fire department cannot be sup
ported, but there is no founda-
zion in fact for this claim. The
fallacy of the claim has been
clearly demonstrated in the de-
velopements of our town, and
so it will be with Mo. Valley if
the accursed saloon is driven
out. 1t is true that for some
years the drug store saloon was
curse to our town, and the man
who does saloon business under
the cloak Of the drug store, is
by far, a "more undesirable cit
izen" than the saloon keeper,
yet the time came when we
were able to make it SO hot for
them that every druggist in the
county surrendered his permit
to sell intoxicants in any form.
| hope the good people of the
Valley may all pull together and
rid their town Of these trap
doors to He'll, and il they sue
ceed there will be far more hap
piness for the people than is
possible IS long as there are sa-
looms to rob fathers of the mon
ey that should go to buy food
and clothing for wives and chill
dren. Keep up the fight and in
due time you will win.
! am yours &c.

Meeting OF the Commercial
Club

A special meeting of the
/ Commercial club was held at
the Council room Saturda Y
night for the purpose of dis
cussing the question of sewer
age and paving for the city of
Mo. Valley. j. S. Wattles
made a statement on the sew
erage question which was fav-
orably received by the Numbers
Of the club. j. r. McGavren,
j. G. Schulmeister and M.
O'Connor were appointed a
committee to interview the
council in regard to the raising
of the salary OF the mayor to
$500 and combining the office
of city clerk and water COM
missioner.
Wo3dbine has decided to
erect a $4,000 high school
building. The vote on the
proposition at the recent cleo
tion in that town was 256 for
to 6S against the proposition.
A Wonderful Incident.
Were it not for the fact that
Benjamin Scebold, who lives a
few miles south of this city, is
a man of undoubted truth, we
would doubt the statement he
made to us last Saturday. He
informed us that last November
he cribbed his corn on his place
in the usual way, and last week
in shelling the corn, they came
upon a hen. 6 feet from the top,
2 feet above the floor, and 3 ft,
from the wall of the crib, where
she had been imprisoned, with
out water or exercise ever since
last November. When uncover
ed, she walked out and seemed
but little the worse for her long
fast and confinement, except
being a little weak. How it is
possible for any living animal,
or fowl to live so long so closely
confined without water, is most
remarkable indeed.

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE
SKIN
Not a B ood Disease==Curee
by Oil Of Wintergreen
Compound.

For many years eczema was
supposed to be a blood disease
and was enormously treated IS
such, but now the best authori-
ties agree that eczema is only
a skin disease and must be
cured through the skin. The
eminent skin specialist, Dr., d.
D. Dennis, first discovered the
eczema germ and his discovery
was quickly taken up in both
Germany and France.
TO kill the eczema germ and
at the same time heal the skin,
Or Dennis compounded oil Of
wintergreen, thynol, glycerlne,
etc. The remedy is a liqu d,
not a mere salve, hence it sinks
right into the pores of the skin.
Washing with this oil of winter
green compound seems to take
the itch away at once; soon the
scales drop away and the disease
disappears. (Roba. w. Harvey.)
The prescription has now been
used so long as to have proven
it's absolute merit and we DO
not hesitate to express our con-
fdence in D. d. D. Prescription
as used with D. D ID. Soap.
