"the story that representatives of the
' Chinese government have been to Waeh-

gage legal assistance to test the valadity
of L the "-Chinese exclusion act in the

credited at the Chinese .legation and the

stand how representatives of the Chinese
.government could have been landed in

--permit from the treasury department.
No permit has been issued. "The story

Thirty-five years ago last Saturday
Dr. John McLougblin died iu Oregon
city, the most prominent figure in the
early history of Oregon and the north
west; a man of noble qualities whose
deeds smoothed the way for the Oregon
pioneers. Dr. McLoughliil's tomb is
marked by an insignificant slab. There
is no question but that greater honor is
due this wise and sturdy benefactor, of
early settlers. - .

soon be reached.

ships Dickens, even going so far as burn
ing a candle before his portrait. She
reads nothing but Dickens, and when he
came here to read she wrote to inquire
whether he'd visit the west Receiving
a reply in Dickens own handwriting,
her j oy knew no bounds. Her hero could
not . leave the east, therefore she deter
mined to go to New York.
Jones, the husband, demurred, but
upon being wakened one night with the
threat that if he did not give her money
to travel like a-Christiarv she would
walk, Jones succumbed. Mrs. Jones
went to New York, had a private inter
view with Dickens, attended his read
ings, and returned home more rabid than
ever.
When the news came' of Dickens'
death Mrs. Jones was inconsolable. Not
long after Mrs. Jones' sister died, but
owing to the illness of this sister's hus
band, whom she was obnged - to nurse,
Mrs. Jones could not attend the funeral.
When the rest of her family returned
they found Mrs. Jones reading "Pick
wick" to the sick and bereaved man. ' As
a relative approached ' the bed,1 Mrs.
Jones burst into tears, exclaiming: "The
saddest part of it all is to think that
