Kkhihthh nwl Journal (semi wctWJy) for fl.73 y'f year. Postmasters Didn't Meet. Soiiio practical joker published para gnuph in n local newspiiK-r to tho utlvct that fourth-cliiMS jxistninsteniof the state of Oregon would meet ut the parlor of tho St. Charles bottl in I'ortlaiwI lust Hiiturduv, nnd marked coiics of tlie pa yer were sent to a number of postmast ers of the ti4, Tim inject of tho meet idg was to combina for higher wage. I'oHtmnsters of tho fourth-class only re ceive a small stippend nnd it appears Unit a general strike would bo the out come hud the organization been effected. Tho conscientious performance of duty in attending tho call of the meeting and the- good time in the city of 1'ortlund canned the IU-tiber.itu to sleep so soundly Sunday morning that burglars entered his s.ore- by lifting a pnno of glass from tlm door, and they then helped them selves t" all the cutlery and cigars thut they desired. Tho Gobelite is know n s the Sher lock Holmes of Columbia county, and uevir sleeps, und that is the way his place of business escuped being plun doled. It is barely possible that some of tho cutlery might Iks found fn the poKMiKKioii of tho foiirtli-chiHs postmast ers w ho w ere in the joke to bo perpetra ted upon tho other. ' For full particulars of the postmasters' meeting we clip the follow ing from Sun duy's Oregouiuu : "Apparently tho postmasters of the fourth chips of Multnomah and adjacent counties do not want to form un asso ciation, for but two of the total number appeared on the scene yesterduy after noon when tho udvertisod time for the meeting drew near. T. C. Watts, of Keuben, and II. M. Fowler, of (ioble, were willing to com bine, but found that tbey had no chanceI to form a quorum unless they counted in the newHpaper men present, which was not according to the rules of order. Tb meeting which was to have-been behl, therefore, -wan not called, and the two postmasters adjourned sine die. A meeting wuh advertised for yester day ufternoon nt If o'clock in tho par lors of thu St. Charles Hotel. It was to hiivo U'cn called for the formation of an association com posed of the fourth-class postmasters of tho county of Multno mah and adjacent counties. Tho pur- po!n of the association was to be the outlining of some plan by means of which they could induce tho department cither to mise their commission on can celled stamps or to give them a higher salary.- At the present time a fourth class postmaster receives f-IK) a year and oiie-liulf of the face value of all cancelled ftiunps exceeding $:IOO a year which pass throuu'h their office.. Tho meeting not only did not materi alize but was a matter of vague conjec ture from the first. T. C.-AVuits, one of the two men who were ready to form an association, knew that he had come to attend- a meeting, but did not know what it:was tor. "I don't know where the rest of them arc. This is- all tho meeting I have seen," he said, indicating himself and Mr. Fowler witha wave of his hand.. "I saw a notice in the paper and came to seo what it meant, and from the appear ance of things just ut this time I gues it was a joker'' This beim; tho second time that an attemp. to form an association of1 tho postmasters has resulted in failure, -it is not know n whether another effort will bo made or not.

Plerter Takes a Bath. 'Che following story is told by the 1'ortlaml Hnily Journal about Michael l'irter, formerly oi this county, now in Multuoni'ih county jail: "It was the order of the kangaroo court at the county jnilthat Michael I'ierter, who accompanied little Mary UobiiiHon when she ran away from St. Helens, should take a bath. The old man swore by the U-ard ol bis etubborn eH ancestor that be wouldn't. He mean't it, but be bathed just the same. I'ierter refused to bathe. The kanga roo court sat on his case. He w ns found guilty of un infraction of the rules and un order was issued by the judge that he should take a bath immediately. The old man again refused. Complaint w as made o the judge by the district at torney of tho court, and a bench war rant of arrest for Michael on a charge of contempt was the result. I'ierter was brought before the august body and the court ordered four bailiffs to baptize him. They went at it w ith a right good will. Two held tho recalcitrant pris oner and two removed his garments. Then he was picked up and soused in the bathtub. The kangaroo court bailiffs took brushes and scoured the old man until he was "us clean us if he w as new," A saloon man said to us the other day that he had to run his business on Sunday to make it pay. Well, if a newspaper cannot be ruu with out violating the law of the state it EUPpends publication. And why not stop the saloon if it does not pay without violating the law. A new graft is 'neinf? foisted upon the people by way of posting Sur veyor Notice that he will survey certain lines. The county should not be called upon to pay a penny for surveying of lines belonging to private parties. The general gov ernment maue this survey once, And if it is desirous of making smaller subdivisions than is called for by the government survey, let private individuals pay for it.
