and some others are making a series of
calculations, endeavoring to discover
whether the safe will go in the building,
or the building in the safe. At present
the question is undecided, the proposi
tion being as doubtful as that time-honored
puzzle of trying to discover which
was the smaller of two joints of stove
pipe when each was larger than the
other. The safe will be gotten out this

cause' the head thereof to swear it will
be because it has no corns.

Dick Closter recently figured out
proposition by which in a few years he
could make a fortune, and with his
usual energy, at once went to work to
get the scheme to operating. Dick
idea was a duck ranch. He figured that
'a good duck, with the maternal instinct
well developed, would, with a few bot
ties of "Swellin's food,", be able
to
hatch and care for two broods of duck
lings in a year. Each brood would con
tain six ducks and six dudes. Each of
the six ducks would in turn hatch two
broods, so that at the end of the second
year, not allowing anytning ior mian
tile duck diseases, he would have, with
a starter of one pair, 156 ducks and 156
drakes. Keeping the ducks and selling
the drakes, the third year he would have
2,040 ducks, and also 1,872 .drakes
for sale. The fourth year he would
have 26,520 ducks, and for 'sale 24,480
drakes. He had estimated that the
sale of the drakes would pay all running
expenses, so tnat eacn year nis aucxs
would be left as clear profit. At the
end of the fifth vear the docks would
number 344,760, and the drakes, which
of coarse, he would sell, would be 318,'
240. The sixth year he would have
4,181,880 ducks and 3,837,120 drakes, or
total of 8,019,000. These Dick would
sell at $3 per dozen, a conservative
price, and would retire from business
with $2,004,750, which any one will ad
mit is a handsome sum to be accumu
lated in six years from one dozen duck
eggs as the original capital.
Last week Dick purchased a round
dozro duck eggs of the Clydesdale
brand and took them borne to begin the
creation of his fortune; but an unex
pected difficulty arouse. None of Dick's
bens showed any inclination to set, and
of course time was too valuable to be
wasted. Dick put the eggs in a nice
nice nest in a barrel, and then captured
hen and enclosed her with them : but
the old proverb says "one man may
lead a horse to water, but ten men can't
make him drink." Dick found the
same rule true among the gallinaceous
birds, for his old hen set standing, and
refused utterly and emphatically to
work. She was on an individual strike,
and would not listen to reason. She
scorned the eggs, she refused to set un
less it was on her own terms, or rather,
be more correct, on her own lay,
Dick, knowing the perverseness of the
sex, yielded to the inevitable and began
to look around for some other mother
for the ducklings. He had a dog, but
be was of the yellow, short-haired vari
ety, and not - a setter. The cow, the
horse and a pet lamb were all considered
to their possibilities s incubators,
and all dismissed from the calculation
By this time Dick was getting wild
and had about come to the conclusion
he would have to da the setting himself,
indeed it is said that he had begun to
cluck when he got up in the morning,
when he discovered that an old goose
had deposited two eggs in her nest and
had commenced to incubate. Dick was
appy, and at once placed his dozen
dock eggs under old Mother Goose, and
then went home to complete his calcu
lations. He went back in half an hour,
and arrived just in' time to see the goose
eat the last of his duck eggs.
And that ia bow Dick Closter lost $2,
004,750 in less than six years in the
poultry business.

The Graye of Nesmltb.
John Minto in Salem Statesman :
You gave notice to my recent hasty
ride in Polk county. Permit me space
to say that in addition to seeing some
of the most beautiful country the eye
ever looked upon, generally well cultl
vated where culture is essayed, I took i
brief half hour to visit the resting place
of the body of the late James W. Nes-
mith, eminent as a pioneer and patriotic
citizen. The place was of bis own selec
tion, on the south bank of the La Creole
river, in the shade of a fir grnve. It is
a beautiful spot, within the domain be
received as a reward for his pioneering,
beautiful shaft of polished granite
rises from the unpolished block of the
same enduring material, wisely chosen
for a fit memorial stone tor the charaa
ter of the man whose memory it tends
to preserve. The lettering reads :
James Willet Nesmith.
A pioneer of 1843. -Judge
under the provisional govern
ment in 1845.
United States marshal 1853-55.
Colonel of volunteers in 1855.
Superintendent Indian affairs '57-59.
United States senator 1861-67.
Representative in congress 1873-75.
Born July 23, 1820.
Died June 17, 1885.
An upright judge.
A brave soldier.
A wise legislator.
An honest man.
Here is a record
for posterity to be
proud of, the best of which lies in its
absolute truth. The country he helped
to name and the state he helped to found,
and to which he gave bis service, alike
have reason for pride in bis life and
character.
The state of Oregon has done itself
credit by placing upon the balls of its
capitol likenesses of its governors and
the friend of the early pioneers. It can
well afford to go a step further and place
within its balls' the portraits of at least
three of its earliest pioneers Peter H.
Burnett, Jesse Applegate and J. W.
Nesmith. I submit this last suggestion
for the 'pioneers at their approaching
meeting. '
Horse Meat.
The canning of horse meat may yet
solve the question as to what shall be
done with the range horse. ' At present
that animal is practically valueless, and
unless he can be eaten, will have to be
exterminated. . If a market can be found
for the canned flesh', it will serve to
clean the range and give at least a small
return to the owner. There ia no reason
by horse flesh should not be as fit for
food as that of any other animal, the
only objection being prejudice. He is
the cleanest and handsomest of all
animals, and yet we draw the line at
feeding on him. It is, indeed, a queer
stomach and a perverse taste that will
demand chicken, tbe foulest of the fowl,
or hog, the scavinger, and yet refuse the
flesh of the horse. This is good logic,
and yet we confess that it seems rlmost
like dining on one's friend. We do not
hanker after any of it for our own im
mediate use.
Her Value Increased. . . .
- The financial value that accompanies
artistic success is again illustrated in the
case of Nordice, the great soprano,
whose triumphs at Bayreuth' last sum
mer, were heralded far and near. Be
fore, her overwhelming European suc
cess, managers estimated her services at
$600 for each performance, but the con
tract for this season calls for $1,200 per
Saturday, Jlay 11th.

The Bloomer. .
At last the bloomer has taken tangible
shape. It was a dream, an airy vision,
but now it has a local habitation and a
& MAYS. I
name. It made its first appearance in
The Dalles yesterday evening, coming
like a thief in the night. There were
just two of them, and- tbey made their
first appearance on the back streets,
but they are too pretty, too becoming
and too sensible to remain a back street
number.
Two of The Dalles most charming
ladies wore them, and as tbey glided
noiselessly along under the big poplars,
it required no great stretch of the im
agination to fancy that the faries and
elves had come out, to see what there
was about bicycles that set every body
wild to ride them, and became bo infat
uated with the sport that they forgot
that mortals were around to catch a
glimpse of them as they flashed through
the moonlit spaces between the shadows
of the trees. We predict tbe bloomer
has come to stay, and if bo tbe bicycle
has accomplished a miracle, in com
pelling women to dress not only beauti
fully, but sensioly. The bloomer is a
bifurcated dream in art ! An iambic poem
in dress goods I A symphony in tout n
embk An einbodlfied perfume! A
distracting combination 1 A style chaste
as Diana ! Beautiful as Hebe ! Fit gar
ment for the Dryads, or for the Vestals,
and it goes with leggings too. The '
blooms of the orchards are sweet, and
the bloom ot the rose a delight, but
bloom as they may tbe new style ia far '
bloomer.
