riage licenses, or one a day. Mr. Luke
thinks this beats the record. A sour
ol.l bachelor suggests that this abnormal
mating as the winter frosts approach
indicates a hard winter.

some time looking after the sale of his

harvest f or want of purchasers, even at
bankrupt prices. We have teen hun
dreds of tons rotting nnd?r the trees,
and carloads of delicious melons going
to waste that could not be given away.
What's the matter with The Dalles folk
that they don't awaken to a realization
of the pretsiog needs of a few ctnueriet
to co-operate with the "man behind the
uoe?" Shame! D. C. Ireland in Ob
server. Workmen engaged in clearing a lot in
Seat! Friday uncovered loaded six
inch shell, with the fuse .tta-hed and
nnburned. According to .Secretary T.
W. Proscb, of the chamber of commerce,
it la evident that this (hell has been ly
ing where it wat found for nearly half a
century, his opinion bein t that it had
been fired on the memorable January 14,
1S56, when, as he savs, "the United
States gunboat Decatur lay in the har
bor anl all day lung tired solid shot all
over the entire towneite to disperse the
lari;e bodies of Indians."
A plumber who was sent to the house
of a stockbroker to execute some repairs,
was taken by the butler into the dining
room and was beginning his work, when
the lady of the bouse entered. "John,"
said she, withs a suspicious glance
towards the plumber, "remove the silver
from the sideboard and lock it up at
once." But the man of lead was in no
wise disconcerted. "Tom," said he to
his apprentice, who accompanied him,
"take my watch and chain and these
coppers home to my tnl'ncs at once.
There seems to be dishonest people
about this house."
In a little cobbler's shop cf this city,
where gentlemen of leasu-e often con
gregate to diecuss politics and religion,
there met, the other day five persons.
While talking over the political issues of
the hour an expression of presidential
preference was asked, and it was found
that four of the five had voted for Bryan
four years ago, but would vote for Mc
Kinley this time. The fifth was an old
soldier, who always votes as he shot.
If this is s mmpV o! the w;r Bryan'
former Oregon friends are going to treat
him in November, Oregon oujht to give
the tepublican ticket 20,000 majirity.
Eighteen men, aided by the fastest
mailing appliances, are kept on a rush
every month getting the Ladies Home
Journal off to Us subscribers. The first
shipments are started about the middle
of each month, and from that time un
til the 25th the magazines pour out of
the Journal's publishing office by the
two-horge-dray load. On the 25th of
each month every Journal has reached
its destination, and work in the mailing
department slackens for a few days.
Some idea of the tremendous size of the
Journal's subscription list may be gained
when it is known that forty tons of
mailing type are required to set up the
names of subscribers. There ars three-
quarters of a ton of each numeral, and
it requires 20,000 galleys to accommo
date the subscribers' names iu type.
This stock would equip six or eight
large daily newspapers. As many as
sixty-five compositors are emploved get
ting the names of the Journal's sub
scribers in type printers enough to get
the type for the biugest metropolitan
daily newspaper. The expenses for pos
tage paid by the Journal approximate
175,000 a year.
I want a McKlnley button," said
familiar voice the other day to the
Ciiuonk'i.b man, w ho looked up and saw
before him a man that voted for Bryan
and free silver four years aito; who
voted the democratic ticket in '08 and
l'JOO; who, in fact, had been born and
bred a democrat and had never voted
anv other ticket in ail nis lite, "wnat
do you want with a McKinley button?"
was asked. "I want to wear it," was
the answer, "because I mean to vote for
McKinley. I have played the fool long
enough. A vote for Bryan is a vote to
take the bread and bi tter out of the
. .. ,. .. -...
mouths of
my wile and babies, tour
years aito,
when I voted for Bryan, I
could with difficulty find work or wages
sufficient to keep my wife and little ones
from straving. Now I have constant
employment at eood wages and I am
going to vote to lu. well enough alone."
He got a McKinley button and is wear
ing it.

The Astoria News publishes a state
ment made by a seiner to the effect that
one of the traps near Cathlamet had
thirteen tons of fish on the opening day
of the season. It had been fishing for
about a week before the season opened.
Another of the traps in that vicinity
caught so many fish that the pot would
not bold them, and all escaped.
One of the worst wind storms in the
history of the country was experienced
in Eastern Washington Saturday. In
Spokane the wind blew forty-eight
miles an hour for a few minutes, a velo
city equalled but twice in eighteen
years. There was a fall of fourteen de
grees in the temperature in less than
half an hour.
Monday morning, when the janitor of
the state house at Salem, opened the
doors of the west portico, he found three
dozen dead English sparrows on the
stairway. They bad dashed themselves
to death against the walls and ceilings
illuminated by the brilliant electric
light, and were probably driven from
their roost in the dome by the owls that
haunt the capitol.
A stranded whale about fifty feet in
length was one of the sights for the
curious at Seaside on Saturday after
noon, says the Astorian. The whale
ran too close in shore at low tide, or as
the tide was going out, and was left
high and dry on the sands. As its im
mense carcass might become a hard
proposition to dispose of if kiiled, it was
not disturbed and at the next high tide
it got off and escaped.
Attorney General Blackburn has ren
dered an opinion on county assessments
to the effect that county clerks must re
turn the summary of the assessment
roll in accordance with the provisions of
the law of 18U9, and cannot make other
classifications than are designated by
that act. The attorney-general, there
fore, advises that summaries of the as
sessment rolls be not filed in the office
of the secretary of state, unless the clas
sification given in the act of 1S99 are
followed.
A pitiable and unusual case came be
fore the city recorder last night, when a
young man of 20 years or so asked lodg
ing for the night in the city jail. The
recorder asked the lad if be had had his
supper and understood him to say that
his wants in this respect had been pup
plied, but was surprised this morning to
find the boy claiming that he had not
eateu anything since Monday morning.
He was promptly supplied with a good
breakfast and went his way. The boy
claimed that he could have obtained
employment at Mosier but was too sick
and weakly to stand the work.
Two employes on the O. R. & N. im
provements near Mosier came to town
yesterday afternoon and proceeded to
load themselves with forty rod lightening
and as a natural result, after spending
the night in the city skookum house,
found themselves this morning in the
presence of bis honor Judge Gates,
charged with the crime ofdrunkeniiess.
The Midge, as is his wont, siezi'd them
up as being able to pay a fine of $2 each
and so mulcted them, but he over
estimated their resource for the night's
carousal had exhausted their exchequer
and they were returned to the pen to
serve out their fines.
