is an oil painting of apple blossoms sur
rounding and partly covering a glass
mirror, and is the work of Mrs. Loch
; head of this city. It may be justly con-
. eidered a relic of the great fire, as it is
one of the few things that Mr. Lochhead
succeeded in saving from the flames, and
it will well repay a visit to every lover
ofthe beautiful in art.
The Rod and Gun Club of Portland

and a quarter high. .The birds; a
rooster, hen, and - little chicks; will
form a family group in a concave base
richly painted with a' landscape, and
covered with a convex glass, surrounded
by a handsome frame of gold. The pre
sentation will take place Sept. 1st., 1892,
. : the date on which the law protecting the

. The Columbia river water as it flows
past The Dalles is now scintillated with

This morning as the" crew of the Reg
ulator were at breakfast and the engine
was being warmed, up for the trip to the
Cascades the "follower" bolts of the pis
ton head broke off with a noise that the
experienced earof Engineer Driscoll well
understood. The damage was repaired
with all possible speed and the boat was
again carving the river by ten o'clock.
Captain John Lewis received today a
public document composed by that
versatile and voluminous author Uncle
Jerry Rusk which was found to contain
an original and unique illustration of
the famous Saddle Rock oyster in the
form of complete shell measuring nearly
six inches long and calculated to make
the mouth of an epicure water. The
captain thinks it baa been sent him as a
tantalizing reminder of the good things
he. was indulging in about two months
ago, but it. will serve also to establish
the captain's repntation for veracity
which has been yery much under a
cloud among those who have heard his
tales of the big oysters he used to eat
when back in Washington.
It might serve the purpose of the few
who are endeavoring to secure repre
sentation for Oregon at the Columbia
World's Fair in Chicago, to know that
for the 1S76 exhibit in Philadelphia,
Hon. A. J. Dufnr secured but about
$7,000. Upon this he arranged an ex
hibit which the commission appraised at
between $15,000 and $16,000, and he
secured for Oregon greater credits than
an other state, with but one exception,
beating California, Illinois, and all of
them. As to compensation for all this,
Oregon paid him the munificient sum of
one dollar and twelve and a half cents
per day, for one hundred days. He was
employed for more than a year. But
the people of Oregon remembered him
with a superb gold watch, suitably en
graved, and a fine ebony gold headed
cane. These he has with him still, as a
token of appreciation for a service which
I brought millions to the state.

The completion oi the canal and loc ks
at-the Cascades and a ship railway at
The Dalles will be the beginning of a
new era for Oregon.' It will be the end

the just as the completion of those locks
and that railway. Klamath Star.

There is never a teacher's examination
that is not followed by a growl at some
body or something, by the defeated can
didates and the school superintendent
generally comes in for his full share of
abuse. Of course it is a pity that ever
body who applies for a certificate cannot
get one, but the best possible justifica
tion of our excellent superintendent lies
in the fact that many of those who
to be taught tliemseives the simplest
rudiments of a common school education.
