Much preliminary work is necessary
to setting on foot large enterprises.
This sort of activity Is going on
quietly but constantly on the projected
railway up the West side of the Will
amette to Oregon City and from Ore
gon City to .the Molalla country.
The Latourettes who are promoting
the project usually accomplish their
purposes, and no one who knows
them doubts their ultimate success
in this undertaking.
It is currently reported that the leg
islature turned the promoters of this
road down in their efforts to get
permission to jbridge the Willamette.
The report is Very likely true, as the
legislature is very often made up of
a gang of boodlers who are neither a
benefit at home or an ornament abroad,
but simply leaches who live off the
credulity of the people who place
them in positions of trust. '
Transportation companies have been
the making of this western country
it is not old enough yet to stand
without more of them and, properly
restrained with wholesome laws, it
is not possible to have too many of
them. The poople's only care should
be that that their pubilo servants
should be neither tools of corpora
tions nor men who will take the ever
present opportunity of levying black
mail upon them.
Some Oregon! City people's
ex-
perionce withjan Eastern clothing firm
will serve to convince them that it
is impractible to 'purchasing wearing
apparel without personally inspect
ing it. A garment bought of anjagent
representation or usually misrepresen
tation will fail to satisfy the pur
chaser nine times out of ten he will
bo disappointed both n the fit and
in the material Eastern merchant! le
housos that Bend their agents into the
Western towns to take orders contri
bute nothing to the support or advan
commit to the cities they graft on.
It is an inoxcusable spirit of selfish'
noss that iinpells a man to expect the
advantages of business houses and all
the conveniences of a city, and to be
a t tho same timo a dead weight for
his town to carry. How does any
thiuking man expeot his community to
prospor if thore is no loyalty to its
constitutions and enterprises. The
man who thinks that lie can live alone
should be loft to live alone. Thus he
will bo brought to realize tho orror of
his philosophy.
Tho trusts have carried the day in
Iowa. Governor Cummins, who led
the faction of the Republican Party
demanding a revision of the present
tariff law soourod a 'platform that
Bounded a little like revision but that
in reality did not oommit the party
to any position uu tho tariff question,
The compromise of the party may
help President Roosovolt ill his cam
paign, but hojdid not need tho sac
rilice. It will also go about us far as
any one act could go in turuingthe
State of Iowa over to the Democrats
four yours later. Tho people of
state have a right to demand that
-party oomo before them on one side
or tho other of a question that is agi
tating the whole State, and it is uu
fair to Republicans to allow them
the opportunity only of voting for
representatives whose Jposition is left
undefined or to vote against the ticket
The Republican Party has seldom been
guilty, as it has been in this
stance . of getting on the fence,
in
it
may bo inferred that President Roobo
velt is not having any serious trouble
with the trusts.

A SAILOR'S MASCOTS.
BTleeellaneoae Collection That. Ha
Takes From the Shore.
Jack Tar is notoriously Improvident,
and most of our naval seamen when
they get ashore spend their money, be
more or less, with a lavish hand.
Shore leave la limited to twenty-four
hours, but in that brief time the unre
strained sailor manages to run through
about all the cash he carries with htm.
He plunges Into a whirl of dissipation
Ind Is oftentimes cheated or robbed of
a good share of his ready assets, but a
percentage of the latter is also apt to
go for anything that happens to strike
his almost childish fancy. Mascots are
the seafarer's delight, and whatever
he may come across which seems to
htm to have a tallsmanlc property he is
bound to buy it If he can; hence when
the "pier jumpers," as thoso'on shore
leave are technically called, return in
well filled barges to the ship and under
direction of the master at arms climb
up to the deck they are likely to bring
with them a miscellaneous collection
of goats, dogs, parrots, monkeys, roost
ers, etc. One sailor on the Kearsarge,
either in or out of his senses at the
time, went bo fur as to purchase as a
mascot a colored baby from Its mother
for tho sum of 40 cents and came
aboard with it in his arms. He wns
not allowed to retain It, however, and
the child was eventually restored to Its
repeutant and hysterical parent.
How many of the mascots niaj be
kept on board lies within the discretion
of the captain. A liberal policy Is pur
sued In this matter. But manifestly
there Is a limit to the number of those
that can be accommodated. The sur
plus Is sent ashore without delay.
When the returned "pier Junipers" are
lined up while the ship's writer calls
the roll to discover the laggards, It Is
one of the most perplexing duties of
tho ofllcer of the deck to decide what
dumb creatures niny or may not be
added to the vessel's menagerie. If the
vessel Is on her way homeward from
tho tropIcs.Nsho usually carries a large
variety of living presents for the home
friends of the sailors. Rut these are
only temporary tenants of the hold and
would not ho permitted to remain on
board long. Leslie's Weekly.

The Ptwlomi an Health.
The passions' effect on the health Is
not sufficiently regarded,'' says a phy
sician In the Philadelphia Record.
"The passion which la best for the
health la avarice. It keeps one cool,
encourages regular and industrious
habits, leads to abstemiousness and
makes against all excess. And hence
fixe avaricious, the misers, live to a
great age. The misers of history were
all noted for their longevity. Rage Is
very bad for one. ' The passion causes
in Irregular, intermittent beating of
the heart, and the intermlttency In
time may become chronic Hatred cre
ates fever. If we hate, we grow lean.
This hot passion eats us like a flame.
Fear Is bad for the nerves, the heart
and the brain, and therefore we should
never permit ourselves to be afraid.
But the strangest effects of all have
been caused by the passion of grief.
The medical books record cases where,
coming suddenly In a violent shock, it
has caused a loss of blood from the
lungs In one person, paralysis of the
tongue In another and a failure of sight
or temporary blindness in a third."
"Three Sheets la the Wlad."
"What was the origin of the phrase
for drunkenness, three sheets In the
wind?' " a landsman asked a sailor the
other day. "Well." said the sailor, "I'll
explain that matter to yon. The two
lower corners of a ship's sail are held
taut by two ropes, one called a tack
and another called a sheet. The tack
Is always kept very tight, but the sheet
Is loosened according to the wind, and
the looser the sheet Is the more freely
the sail swings. If the sail is quite
free, its sheet is said to be 'in the
wind.' Now, suppose that all three of
a ship's sails were quite free. They
would then fly about very crazlly, and
the ship would wabble. The course of
the ship would be a zigzag one, and the
reason for this would be that she had
'three sheets In the wind. That, 1
guess, is why a man, when he zigzags
In his course. Is said to be three sheets
In the wind' also." Philadelphia Rec
ord. An Irish Duel.
The annals of the Emerald Isle bris
tle with Incidents of dueling in which
Irish humor, if not at all times Irish
bravery, is conspicuous. On one oc
cusion Sir Jonah Burrlngton fought a
duel with a barrister named McNally.
The latter had one leg shorter than the
other and because It was his habit
when in a hurry to take two thumping
steps with the short leg to bring up the
space made by the long one he was
nicknamed "One Pound Two." McNal
ly could get no one of his bar to fight
him, and so he challenged Barrington,
who good naturedly exchanged shots
In the Phoenix park.
The baronet hit his opponent in the
braces, then called the "gallows," and
feared he had killed him. When the
result was made known, one of the
seconds shouted, "Mac, you are the
only rogue I ever knew who was saved
by the gallows."
Slaaahter Eoase Byproducts.
Some of the uses of byproducts of
slaughtered animals: The blood la used
for the production of albumen, the
bones for knife handles, toothbrush
handles, chessmen, etc.; the horns for
combs, backs of brushes, large buttons,
etc.; the hoofs for buttons, ornaments
and fertilizers. Neat's foot oil, extract
ed from the feet, has a high commer
cial value. The fat Is used for glycer
in and butterln. Gelatin, glue, pep
sin and other articles are obtained
from slaughtered cattle and sheep.
The value of such articles mude every
year represents many millions of dol
lars. Children and Growth.
The year of greatest growth in boys
Is the seventeenth; In girls, the four
teenth. While girls reach full celght
In their fifteenth year, they acquire full
weight ht the ago of twenty. Boys are
stronger than girls from birth to the
eleventh year; then girls become supe
rior physically to the seventeenth year,
v hen tho tables are again turned and
remain so. From Novenilr to April
cuiiuren grow very little and gain no
weight; from April to July they gain
In height, but lose In weight, and from
July to November they Increase greatly
in weight, but not In height.
Meanlnera of Several Names.
Asia means morning or east; Europe,
evening or west; Australia means lying
to or in the south; hence we may con
sider that these names mean eastern
land, western land and southern land.
Asia Is a Greek word; Europe is a He
brew word; Australia is a Latin word.
The origin of the word Africa Is uncer
tain. Some conjecture that It is a Se
mitic word meaning "Land of Wander
ere."

NEWFOUNDLAND WRECKEFtl
The Boantr That Is Cleaaed From a
Barren Shore.
In bygone times it was the practict
of the Newfoundland coast folk to ap
propriate everything they secured, but
this lawlessness had to be sternly re
pressed. Now the unwritten rule li
that they get "half their hand," or 5C
per cent, as salvage. In portable and
valuable articles, such as silverware,
there la still a strong temptation to
keep the whole, but the punishment It
severe. Champagne, liquors, cabin
tore and the like have also a trick
of disappearing, and In the poorest
fisher's cottage you will come upon
rare china, dainty hapery, silverware
of price and wines to tempt an epi
cure. The salvors are reckless and un
thinking, and as they gather in hun
dreds every man pre-empts what he
can. In the rush there Is much de
stroyed. When the Herder was lost
In 1882 they burned whalebone worth
$15,000 a ton to save leather costing
20 cents a pound. In the Emmellne
wreck of 1900 they trampled crates of
costly glassware to get at four cases
of French prayer books valued at 25
cents apiece. On one occasion two
salvors had got ashore a piano and
were adopting the Solomon-like expe
dient of sawing it In half when a
shrewder chum bought It from them
for a bottle of whisky looted from the
captain's cabin. When the Grasbrook
went ashore In 1800 every man on the
shore provided himself with a German
concertina, of which Instruments of
torture she had a large consignment,
and to secure them packages of much
more costly freight were thrown over
board. When the Orion, from Balti
more for Copenhagen, struck the back
of Cape Race and went to pieces she
bad a large consignment of bicycles
on board, and they were auctioned in
St. John's and disposed of all over the
island. The Abbeymore's lading in
1898 included some cases of splendid
English rifles for Canada, and these
are now to be seen adorning every
fisher's cottage along the shore. P. T.
McGrath in McClure's.
FOOD, WATER AND AIR.
The Essential Things Out of Whlclt
Blood Is Hade.
These are the things out of which
blood is made. If the food is nutri
tious and properly cooked, if the air is
pure and full of oxygen, if the watet
is clean and free from Impurities, the
blood will be rich and red and full ot
vitality.
Barring physical accidents, there ii
no sickness except that depending di
rectly upon a want of food or watei
or air, sometimes all three. When any
one is sick the presumption is that he
has been trying to subsist on poor
food or vitiated air or bad water, one
or more.
In order to have good food a person
ought to have the first eating of It.
Food that has been mussed over and
left by one person is not fit to be eaten
by another.
In order to have good air a person
ought to have the first breathing of it.
Air that has been breathed by other
persons is not fit to breathe again.
Water should be fresh from some
spring or well. If hydrant water must
be used let It run a bit, as the house
pipes are apt to be of lead and not
iron like the pipes that convey the wa
ter through the city.
Food that is relished, air that cools
and invigorates, water that is quaffed
with eager thirst these are '.he things
that make blood. Put fresh air Into
the lungs, good food and pure water
Into the stomach, and nature will do
the rest Medical Talk.
A Trick WliU an Egg.
Place two V shuped wineglasses of
the same size near the edge of a table.
In the right hand one put an egg. Just
fitting the rim of the glass. Hold the
bases of the glasses firmly down, the
top rims touching ench other. Now,
with a quick, sharp breath, blow upon
the Hue where the, egg and the glass
meet. The egg will jump to the other
glass. With a little practice this can
be done every time. He careful to
blow in a line with the left hand glass,
or the egg will Jump In the wrong di
rection and land on the table with dis
astrous results. '
Her Objection.
"Don't you think you are taking the
wrong stand when you say you do not
wish your son to marry, Mrs. WI1
loughby?" asked an Intimate friend.
"Don't you know it is natural and best
for a young man to marry and that he
will not think any the less of his moth
er because he has a wife?"
"Oh, it Isn't that," protested Mrs.
Willoughby. "I don't mind his marry
ing on general principles, but I don't
want to be called 'the old Mrs. Wil
loughby.'" New York Press.
