that the settlers ought to take advantage

The assessable value of all taxable
property in the city of Portland waa re
duced from $01,000,000 in 1892 to $29,
000,000 In 1899. The '92 aseeaament
was none too high. Tbe '99 assessment
is a ban faced swindle. Aa tbe Port
land Dispatch justly remarks, the de
preciation was due to a political trick of
assessor. But it didn't work the way
it was expected to work and it put the
city in a hole and gave it a black eye
into the bargain.
James Benson expressed this morning;
to Portland for the Wasco county ex

Virchow, tbe German scientist, says
the ay to live long is to "he born with

yon are young, always have something

It is easier to live long with a poor con
stitution than to violate the other con
ditions an 1 reach old age.

Henry S. Ball died at the Umatilla
House yesterday forenoon of a comslica
tion of diseases. The deceased waa from
Illinois and waa traveling for hie health.
He waa accompanied by his wife and
had arrived here from Hood River Sat
urday uight. A -on living in Portland
was telegraphed for early Sunday morn
ing, when it became apparent that the
end waa near. The son arrived here at

undertaking parlors of Crandall A Bur
gett, where the body was embalmed by
C. N. Burgett and prepared for ship
ment to Portland, where it was taken on

Ceneoa returna show that the popula
tion of the country ia about 75,000,000.
Of the 52,000 enumeration districts, 17,
000 have been counted, showing a popu
lation of 25,000,000. According to the
law of averages this would indie ite toe
population of the country to be 77,000,
000. But as the count proceeds the gen
eral average of the districts falls off
enough to modify the total. The figures
show thirty-three per cent of the popu
lation live in towns of more than 8000
inhabitants. In 1890 it was twenty-nine
per cent. In the East from Massachu
setts to Pennsylvania the average will be
higher. The decade just cloeed has
been a great one for immigration.

The exclusion ol sheep from the forest
reserve haa many sides to it. Said a
wealthy Tygh Ridge sheepman to the
Chronicle man thia morning: "My
sheep are ranging nine miles west of
Dufur when ihey ought to be, and I
wish they were, twenty miles from that
place. West of me ia the reeervation
line which I am not permitted to cross,
Where there is a vaBt range that is of no
practical uae to anybody, and where
aheep, if they do any injury to anybody
or anything, would be less injurious to
the interests ol the settlers on the
prairie than w here I
am compelled to
keep them."
The published report
reserves were closed to
that the forest
sheep was the
first intimation that Yakima sheepmen ,
have had that they would not be allowed
on the reserves hereafter. No official
orders have been received, and tl.e
flocks are elill on the ranges. In case
the report should prove to be true, no
hardship would be worked on Central
Washington sheepmen this year, as the
season is about over, and the sheep a ill
soon he driven down to the valley f,u
the winter. If the ressrves are closed
next year, owners of 250,000 sheep who
reside there will either have to go out of
the business or move their flocks else
where in search of ranges.

Year's Itrsult t Forest Sjuprir Islna.
Hon. W. H. H. Dulnr, finest super
visor of the northern division of the
Cascade and Bull Run reserve, while
in town this afternoon informed Tiik
Chronic i.x that up to August 31st, when
he left the reserve for bis office at Dufur,
not a dollar' worth of timber bad been
destroyed by fire this season on the por
tion of the reserve under his juriedic
tion. Thia reault of government super
vision ia all the more marked as the
present season on the reserv ia said to
be the driest known to the oldest inhab
itant. It must not be inferred that
there were any fewer camp tirea than
usual. Aa a matter of fact there were
more; but they were under such a rigid
supervision that they were never al
lowed to spread. Beaidea, Mr. Dufur
had offered a reward of $100 from his
own private purse for tiie arrest and
conviction of any parly who set out a
fire maliciously, and $50 in case of any
set out through carelessness. Notice of
this reward waa posted in every part of
hie jurisdiction, and undoubtedly con
tributed to the general reault.
Waplnltla "Blow Holes."
The Dalles correapondent of the Tele-

I wjnd
with tho regularity of tfie tries
and maintains a temperature that haa
been turned to useful account for dairy
purposes and is practically uniform the
year through. But the correspondent,
born and reared in the environment of
city life, more than forty miles from the
"Kelly blow hole," la excusable for not
knowing everything connected w ith thia
interesting phenomenon. He forgo' to
mention, or, what ia more probable, did
not kno-r, that the Kelly "blow bole"
for a long time furnished a species of
Eolian music for the Wapinitia neigh
borhood. The original owner of the
"blow hole," now, alas! gone the way
of all the earth, bethought himself of
adjusting a French harp at the mouth
of the hole eo aa to catch the wind "a
comin' and a goin', " as it were, with
the astonishing result that in days of
republican prosperity it sang "Yankee
1,'oodle," "America," " The Star Span
gled Banner" and "Come ye that love
the Lord, and let your joy be known."
But as long as the curse of Bryanisra

the Wapinitia land, its
only refrain wa "Come ye calamities,
where e're ye wander. Down on your
marrow bones fervently kneel."
, is 'he "Kelly blow hole" the only
one in the Wapinitia country. There
are probable a dozen more, although
none but the Klly hole has ever been
adjusted to music. There is one on 1 be
